Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 517 - 392: You Tell Me, Do You Dare to Score 13 Points?

Chapter 517: Chapter 392: You Tell Me, Do You Dare to Score 13 Points?

Su Xiaomeng is a warm-hearted person, always feeling sympathetic for stray cats and dogs by the roadside. Any stray animals on campus that she runs into would often get to enjoy some snacks from her.

But Xiao Meng is definitely not some saint-like charitable angel.

She saw nothing in this guy that deserved any sympathy or pity.

So what if you’re working-class?

Better than having no parents at all, right?

Selling everything including pots and pans to send him to study abroad, my goodness, that’s studying abroad! Wow!

And yet, he still feels unsatisfied!

Feeling pressured?

Damn it, Su Xiaomeng gets super pissed every time she thinks about this. Who the hell isn’t stressed?

It’s only been one semester, and finishing the major alone will take at least two years. Of course, further studies don’t even need mentioning.

Two years, six semesters—only a sixth of it has passed, and this guy already can’t wait to jump off a building!

Doesn’t he have any ambition at all?

Shen Dawei looked at Su Xiaomeng in shock; his not-so-big eyes were completely wide open!

At this moment, this woman was still provoking him!

Did she really want him to die?

"What’s wrong? Why are you hesitating? Or maybe I wasn’t pushing you hard enough and you still have a long speech left to deliver?"

Although Xiao Meng felt frustrated with his lack of determination, seeing him swaying with the wind at the edge of the rooftop made her heart tremble.

She was just trying to figure out if using these words might wake this guy up. Hopefully, he’ll snap out of it and not jump.

Either way, he got into the University of Bath on his own merits by clearing all the hurdles.

Let’s not even mention emotional intelligence; surely his IQ is fine.

"Dude, just take a peek down there. There’s a whole bunch of students and teachers gathered around, but how many of them do you think truly care if you live or die?"

"..."

Shen Dawei fidgeted uncomfortably.

"You said it yourself, this world is disgusting. Then you should know that in this world that disgusts you, after you jump, it’s even less likely to show you any kindness."

"Those hypocritical masks won’t automatically fall off just because of your ’heroic’ act!"

"Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"The only ones who will be affected by you jumping are your working-class parents, who sacrificed everything to place their hopes on you, wishing you to succeed in the future!"

Su Xiaomeng’s words were earnest.

Because Shen Dawei’s expression showed some sign of wavering.

And because where he was standing was really dangerous, the railing on the rooftop only reached his knees, a slight bend, and he’d fall over!

"You... you’re right... they don’t care if I live or die... so why did you even climb up here? Why not just watch from below?"

Shen Dawei didn’t want to admit it.

Death wasn’t his goal. He just wanted those who disregarded him and mocked him after he achieved results—students and teachers—to take notice!

Pushing a promising young man to the brink of suicide, wouldn’t they feel shame, guilt, self-reproach, and regret!

That was his goal...

A cynic who eventually evolved into a terminally whimsical, naive young man.

(Does anyone not know what "Chuunibyou" means? Someone nods, uh-huh, alright, just Google it, yay!)

Su Xiaomeng sighed,

"You think I don’t want to watch from below? If it weren’t for Dick’s threats, saying he’d fail me unless I talked you down, do you think I’d be up here?"

"Dick..."

"Yes, that terrifyingly twisted teacher!"

"Ha, don’t joke. He can’t wait for me to jump so that the weakest student is no longer in his class!"

"Is that so? But when he told me earlier, he was teary-eyed, regretting how harshly he criticized you!"

Su Xiaomeng lied through her teeth.

"Then why didn’t he come to persuade me himself?"

The cynical young man’s heart got a bit of solace, knowing that while most were unaffected, indeed... someone felt guilty!

So tsundere...

Su Xiaomeng sighed and quickly said, "He said he’s not good with words, afraid that one wrong word might rile you up, a little provocation and... well, you get it?"

"Hmph! At least he knows himself a bit!"

The young man snorted, feeling somewhat vindicated, then continued,

"He should have reflected much earlier on how to teach properly as a teacher! His ways violate teaching ethics! They do!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Su Xiaomeng nodded seriously.

Meanwhile, Dick, who was standing with Qin Hui, exuded a terrifying aura like never before.

Dick was dark-skinned, and Qin Hui thought, even if he had been fair, he’d be as dark as coal by now!

"So you really think it’s worth it to lose your life over a teacher who violates educational ethics?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng and Shen Dawei’s conversation continued to drill into Dick’s ears.

"David, I’m not trying to provoke you, but honestly, do you really believe this clock tower is the center of the world? You can’t think you’re standing at the pinnacle of the world, right?"

Shen Dawei raised an eyebrow. Hmm... what, are you saying it’s not?

With so many people down there...

"I’ll tell you what the top really is, and the kind of person at the top can draw everyone’s attention and ignite the public’s enthusiasm!"

"..."

Shen Dawei unconsciously began listening to what Su Xiaomeng was saying.

"Like my husband, the position he’s in is definitely one at the top. What he says, his actions, they catch everyone’s attention!"

Shen Dawei tilted slightly, making Su Xiaomeng’s heart leap, "Hey! Stand firm!"

Scared her to death!

Shen Dawei immediately shouted back, "You’ve been talking all this time just to show off your husband!"

"I’m serious!"

Su Xiaomeng declared earnestly!

She didn’t want to come off as showing off her husband in front of someone contemplating suicide, but he was the most high-end person she had interacted with!

Whenever her husband posts on Weibo, even without any specific message, there are millions of reposts.

Of course... ahem, it’s probably just because of his looks. After all, there are many young, naive girls online who are attracted to appearances.

"Kid, I think you’re being quite meaningless like this. You’re not even worth an onion right now. Even if you jumped, it would at most make Dick feel a bit tangled, but you know Dick is like an ancient demon; after a couple of days, he’d still adopt the same teaching style, still the same twisted demon."

Hey hey hey!

Are you sure you’re comforting me? What do you mean not even worth an onion! Huh?!

Shen Dawei clenched his fists.

"Everyone has tough times. Once you get through it, there’s a bright future ahead! When you make something of yourself, you’ll have everyone’s attention, and by then, jumping off would definitely cause a huge sensation!"

"..."

Shen Dawei turned his head in surprise once again...

What did she just say?

Su Xiaomeng spoke so fluently that even she didn’t realize anything was wrong with her words.

Cherry, standing by, finally pointed out,

"You’re definitely not thinking of jumping off by then."

"Oh oh! Right, jumping off won’t be your goal anyway! By then, you should be able to step over Dick’s head and crush him!"

Su Xiaomeng quickly corrected herself!

That correction seemed so insincere to Shen Dawei...

But...

Suddenly, Shen Dawei didn’t feel like jumping anymore.

He hadn’t really intended to jump in the first place. With Su Xiaomeng pulling him left and right in conversation, the theme was lost, and the cynical young man felt a bit bored...

Xiao Meng took a step forward, and Shen Dawei noticed...

But he didn’t react irritably or excitedly, just stood there.

Xiao Meng took another slow step forward, slowly reaching out her hand,

"Come on, Dawei, when spring break comes, let’s return to Beijing together! So what if you’re last; do you think you’re the only one to ever score low? I once got thirteen points!"

"Tch, scoring thirteen points, you’re proud of that, huh?"

Shen Dawei glanced at her and muttered.

Su Xiaomeng remained serious, "Tell me, would you dare to score thirteen points?"

"..."

Shen Dawei was speechless; indeed, he wouldn’t dare.

Xiao Meng was almost ready to grab Dawei’s hand, but just then—
