Chapter 144: The Goth School Heartthrob 42

 Of course, Tang Wan and Liu Shutong didn't care about the resentful looks of the others!

Being able to balance both love and studying was what it meant to be a winner in life!

What the two of them didn't notice was that as Liu Shutong's grades continued to improve, Lin Wan's grades were getting worse and worse.

As the female lead, Lin Wan's intelligence setting wasn't at the genius level, but she was still considered highly intelligent. However, jealousy had already begun to corrode her heart.

Every time Liu Shutong came in first in a mock exam, she would feel another wave of pain and resentment, and her score would drop another notch.

No matter how much the teacher tried to talk to her, it was useless.

As for the decline in her grades, Lin Wan attributed all of it to Liu Shutong!

Why was it that she studied so hard, yet still couldn't do as well as a delinquent who did nothing but play around and date?!

And besides, since he was capable of coming in first, why couldn't he tutor her?

She was his younger sister in name, at least!

As for the male lead, Zhang Heng...

Although Zhang Heng was studying in this town, he actually came from a musical family. Because he had been physically weak and sickly since birth, his family had no choice but to follow a fortune-teller's advice and send him to be raised in his hometown until he turned eighteen.

Once he finished the college entrance examination, he would be able to return to his real family and begin his career in music.

In the original plot, the two of them had developed mutual admiration after being deskmates for years. The day after the college entrance examination ended, they confessed their feelings to each other and eventually got into the same university.

Originally, Zhang Heng's family felt that Lin Wan came from an ordinary family and wasn't worthy of being with Zhang Heng. But as the female lead, Lin Wan had an exceptionally auspicious birth chart. After Zhang Heng's parents compared their birth charts, they were delighted to discover that she had a destiny that would bring prosperity to her husband!

And later, Lin Wan really did bring down the then-popular Liu Shutong and helped Zhang Heng become a rising star in the music industry. At that point, Zhang Heng's parents became even more convinced that she was a woman blessed with good fortune.

Thus, the only obstacle disappeared, and the two of them happily ended up together.

……

But now?

Although Tang Wan had deliberately avoided interacting with the male and female leads so as not to bring trouble upon herself, she couldn't stop Liu Shutong, this great villain, from flapping his wings and causing the plot to start collapsing on its own.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Heng had never placed lower than second in anything. It went without saying how strong his pride was.

After discovering that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't catch up to Liu Shutong, he wasn't affected nearly as badly as Lin Wan. However, as he watched Lin Wan's grades steadily decline and listened to her constantly complain, his feelings for her gradually faded, eventually turning into impatience.

No one liked having someone full of negativity around them all day.

And originally, what he had liked about Lin Wan was precisely her unyielding determination and perseverance.

Thus, after yet another mock exam, when Lin Wan once again complained about how difficult the questions were, Zhang Heng merely gave her a淡 look. That very day, he asked the homeroom teacher to move Lin Wan away from his side.

Lin Wan never expected that after sitting with Zhang Heng as deskmates for three years, they would be separated right before the college entrance examination.

Her mentality collapsed even further, and she became even less interested in studying.

Worried that another girl would snatch Zhang Heng away, Lin Wan decided to write him a love letter.

She believed that Zhang Heng liked her too!

However, what she never expected was that after receiving the letter, Zhang Heng merely looked at her calmly.

“Lin Wan, thank you for liking me, but we're not really suitable for each other.”

“How could we not be suitable? You like me too, don't you? I can feel it!” Lin Wan panicked.

“I admit that I used to like you, but that was the old you, the confident and radiant you. Look at yourself now. How are you any different from those vulgar girls?”

Zhang Heng spoke coldly.

Lin Wan immediately tightened her grip on the pink envelope in her hand.

Only after Zhang Heng left did she grit her teeth and whisper, “Liu Shutong! This is all because of you! It's all your fault!”

If it weren't for you affecting me, how could I have lost Zhang Heng?

Just wait. So what if your grades are good? As for the college entrance examination, don't even dream of taking it!
