Moving On from the Tsundere, I Choose the Perfect Sweetheart

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Awesome! A Comeback Just by Falling in Love?

”Of course!”

Gu Yifan changed his tune. ”But that’s not the main point. The main point is, I think the school administrators were right!”

”After some deep self-reflection, I feel that my behavior this morning was a bit rash and certainly not the action of a gentleman. I would like to sincerely apologize to my classmate, Han Ning!”

”I’m sorry, you must have been... sp- uh... startled!”

After speaking, Gu Yifan gave a slight bow in Han Ning’s direction in the crowd.

Hearing this, the dark expressions on the faces of the school administrators on stage finally relaxed a bit.

’At least you know your place, kid!’ the school administrators thought to themselves.

In the crowd, when Han Ning heard Gu Yifan say her name, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She pursed her lips, and besides a hint of awkwardness, her face showed no other emotion. She stood quietly in place, holding her fair neck high like a haughty white swan.

Meanwhile, many in the crowd who knew about their relationship couldn’t help but turn their gazes toward the school beauty, Han Ning.

”Hmm... since this is a deep self-criticism, I might as well say a few more things!”

Gu Yifan, holding the microphone, was suddenly filled with emotion and began to speak.

”At eighteen, we are in the prime of our youth. Life shouldn’t just be about puppy love. The future is long, and there are many more meaningful things waiting for us to do.”

”The college entrance exam, coming up in a hundred days, is a watershed moment in everyone’s life. Some of you might say, ’It’s just one exam. Even if I fail, I can still start a business and become a big boss. Look at that guy, Bill Gates! Didn’t he drop out of college to start a business and become the richest man in the world?’”

”Yes, Bill Gates did drop out to start a business, but he dropped out of Harvard University! His dad was a famous local lawyer, his mom was on the board of regents for the University of Washington, and his maternal grandfather was the president of a national bank!”

”So, kids, don’t be naive. You think starting a business is free?!”

”You only see Bill Gates’s success, but you ignore his background!!”

The crowd below the stage fell silent!

Gu Yifan’s words were like a needle, piercing deep into the hearts of everyone present who thought the college entrance exam was useless.

”Of course, if your family is rich and well-connected, then you can just treat everything I just said as total bullshit!”

”Learning is like rowing upstream; if you don’t advance, you fall behind!”

”If you have none of that, then spend the next hundred days studying hard!”

”According to statistics, about nine million students take the college entrance exam nationwide each year. The difference of a single point can put you ahead of ten to twenty thousand competitors!”

”Maybe you can’t improve much in these hundred days, but even improving by a single point is still progress!”

”Six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and another three years of high school—twelve whole years of hard work all come down to this!”

”Work hard, everyone!”

”I believe that in a hundred days, when we meet again in the examination halls of June, we will be armed with knowledge, our minds filled with strategy, ready to conquer all obstacles!”

”Let’s do our best, everyone!”

”When we succeed in June, let’s meet at the summit!”

Gu Yifan shouted into the microphone.

”Well said!”

As Gu Yifan’s voice faded, Wu Lihai, the principal of Mountain City First Middle School, stood up and shouted his approval.

CLAP CLAP CLAP—CLAP CLAP CLAP—

......

It was unclear who started it, but soon the entire field erupted in thunderous applause!

Everyone present was fired up by Gu Yifan’s words, and their initial expressions of ridicule gradually turned into admiration!

Seeing the reaction of everyone present, Principal Wu Lihai nodded in deep satisfaction.

’Hmm... this young man is quite something!’

’Although his earlier behavior was a bit wild and reckless, based on that speech alone, he’s definitely destined for great things!’

Principal Wu Lihai thought to himself, his gaze toward Gu Yifan now filled with appreciation!

However, Gu Yifan’s next sentence nearly made him choke!

”Alright, time’s about up. The last thing I want to say is—everything I said before was complete nonsense!”

Principal Wu Lihai: ”...-_-||”

The crowd: ”...-_-||”

As the applause from the crowd died down, Gu Yifan picked up the microphone again and said nonchalantly, ”And finally, I just want to say one thing: Starting today, I’m done being a simp!!!”

”Alright, my self-criticism is finished!”

”Thank you, everyone!”

After speaking, while the dean of discipline was still stunned, Gu Yifan quickly slipped away from the back of the stage.

After a long moment of silence.

*RUMBLE~*

*HISS...*

”Holy shit!!”

”This dude is a badass!”

”Wait, what did that guy mean with his last sentence?”

..........

Everyone on the field was absolutely floored by Gu Yifan’s final sentence!

”What’s all this noise?!”

”Is this a fish market?!”

”Quiet!!!”

...

Hearing the dean of discipline’s quacking voice behind him, Gu Yifan couldn’t help but speed up.

’There’s no way I can go back to my class formation now!’

’I might as well wander around campus for a bit!’

’It’s been many years since I came back to my alma mater in my past life, anyway. I’ll take the chance to reacquaint myself with the place.’

’Hmm... I’ll go to the school store and buy a bottle of water first. Damn, after all that talking, I’m thirsty.’

’These school administrators are so cheap. They wouldn’t even give me a bottle of water!’

Noticing his throat was a bit dry, Gu Yifan grumbled to himself.

No sooner said than done, he turned and headed toward the school store from his memories.

Just then, a mechanical voice, like a clap of thunder, suddenly rang out in Gu Yifan’s mind.

”Romance Counterattack System has successfully bound to Host!”

”A system?”

Gu Yifan said, completely bewildered.

DING~

”System is activating...”

DING~

”System activation complete!”

”Awarding Host a Novice Gift Pack. Do you wish to claim it now?”

”Claim it now!”

Gu Yifan blurted out loud subconsciously.

Luckily, there was no one else on the path, or they would have definitely thought he was an idiot!
