Chapter 547：The Lonely Top Student 10

Hearing this, Jiao Tong suddenly stopped.

The next moment, he narrowed his eyes at Tang Wan. “If that’s true, I’ll believe you this once. But what if it doesn’t work?”

“If it doesn’t work…” Tang Wan smiled brightly, “then I’ll just marry you in the future. Saves you the trouble of finding a wife!”

Jiao Tong’s lips twitched.

Why did he even stop to listen to her nonsense?

Still… trying it once didn’t hurt.

“I’ll give you seven days,” he said coolly. “If nothing improves in that time—”

“Then I’ll admit in front of the whole class that I’m a liar!” Tang Wan cut in immediately.

“No,” Jiao Tong interrupted. “If it doesn’t work, don’t appear in front of me again.”

Tang Wan: …

That was harsh.

But she still nodded with confidence.

“Then let’s start today,” Tang Wan said quickly. “Wait here—I’ll get my bike.”

She ran off to the parking area, gripping the handlebars carefully through her gloves.

Soon, she returned. Jiao Tong was still standing there, expression as gloomy as ever.

Stopping in front of him, she handed him the bicycle. “I’ll trouble you to give me a ride.”

“Mm.” He nodded faintly.

He took the bike and pushed it out of the community.

Once outside, Tang Wan hopped onto the back seat, and the two rode all the way to school together.

As soon as they arrived at the school gate, the students of No. 1 High School were stunned.

“Wait—why is His Highness Jiao Tong coming to school with the ‘King of Destruction’? And he’s letting her sit behind him? Isn’t he afraid of something happening?!”

“Is that unlucky girl trying to harm His Highness? No way—we have to protect him!”

“Yes! Let’s go warn him to stay away from her!”

As for confronting Tang Wan?

Absolutely not.

No one had the courage. After all, who knew what might break—or who might get hurt—if they got too close?

After parking the bike, Tang Wan smiled at Jiao Tong. “At noon, wait for me on the rooftop. That’s when the sun is strongest—perfect for suppressing the evil spirit.”

Jiao Tong’s gaze flickered slightly.

“I understand,” he replied.

Recently, the presence inside him had been growing stronger. If what she said was true… then this was the perfect chance to test it.

The two went their separate ways toward their classrooms.

As soon as Jiao Tong entered his class, a girl hurried up to him, blushing as she warned him to stay away from Tang Wan. She listed example after example of the things Tang Wan had “destroyed.”

Normally, he wouldn’t have bothered listening.

But today, he did.

After hearing everything, he had to admit—

Her title, “King of Destruction,” was well-earned.

And yesterday… she had only lightly tugged his sleeve, yet his cuff had burst open and the button had fallen off.

Thinking back to her explanation, a strange thought formed in his mind.

Could it be…

That when his sleeve burst, she had actually been helping him?

Was that the invisible clash between her and the thing inside him?
