Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

16: Chapter 16 This is the only thing that won’t work(This part isn’t written well, I suggest skipping to Chapter 18, don’t scold me, ugh~)

”Kamii Ta-no, what’s the matter?” Kamii Ta-no answered with a stiff neck; though his tone was still hard, his momentum had already weakened a bit.

He had learned roughly about Su Bai’s background from his companions and didn’t want to court disaster again, but he hadn’t expected the other party to come looking for him instead.

”On the school team?” Su Bai continued to ask, as if confirming something.

”...Yes.”

”What event are you best at?” Su Bai’s follow-up was very direct.

”Five... five thousand meters.” Kamii Ta-no answered subconsciously. He was completely suppressed by the indescribable cold aura radiating from Su Bai; his brain was almost unable to think, and he could only respond truthfully.

He even forgot to ask what the other party wanted to do.

Su Bai got the answer he wanted and nodded slightly.

Class honor really had nothing to do with him, but Su Bai indeed didn’t want to do anything that would bring shame to the class.

After all, Old Hu was truly good to him.

Directly crippling this sakura person wasn’t out of the question, but if he did that, the class would lose both its reputation and its dignity.

Treating it as giving Old Hu some face, Su Bai suppressed his displeasure and then, in a tone so calm it was heart-palpitating, threw out an earth-shattering bet:

”I’ll race you five thousand meters. The loser kneels down, kowtows, and shouts ’Daddy, I was wrong’ three times. Deal?”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell into a dead silence; even the students from both classes who had been glaring at each other were stunned.

”Su Bai! Are you crazy?!” Lin Wan was the first to react, rushing forward to grab Su Bai’s arm tightly, her voice filled with anxiety. ”He’s on the school team! He trains for the five thousand meters every day! How could you possibly outrun him?!”

In the two-plus months they had known each other, Lin Wan had never seen Su Bai engage in any decent physical exercise; his life seemed to consist only of lying down and lying down even more.

Forget five thousand meters, she suspected Su Bai would be panting after just fifty meters!

However, Su Bai turned a deaf ear to her dissuasion and didn’t even turn his head.

His gaze was like a falcon locking onto its prey, staring straight at Kamii Ta-no’s face, as if everything around him no longer existed.

”If I lose, I’ll follow the conditions,” Su Bai said to Kamii Ta-no, ignoring Lin Wan’s pulling, and threw out a bargaining chip the other couldn’t refuse. ”Moreover, I’ll give you an additional 200,000 RMB.”

He paused, his tone carrying extreme contempt and provocation:

”If you don’t dare, you can get lost right now. And remember, next time you see me, walk the long way around.”

Actually, when Su Bai mentioned the condition of kneeling and kowtowing, Kamii Ta-no’s first reaction was to refuse.

It was clearly unwise to offend a profligate young master with a deep background over a verbal dispute.

But... 200,000 RMB!

This number, combined with Su Bai’s unconcealed provocative tone that seemed to assume he would lose, instantly ignited Kamii Ta-no’s anger and greed.

He was tempted. Moreover, he had his status as an International Student as a protective umbrella, subconsciously feeling that Su Bai wouldn’t dare do anything too extreme to him.

Most importantly, he had absolute confidence in his own strength in long-distance running!

He was a key long-distance prospect being cultivated by the School Track and Field Team, undergoing professional training every day.

And Su Bai?

Just a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

Winning against him wouldn’t be difficult at all! This 200,000 was practically a gift!

”Fine, when’s the race?” Kamii Ta-no suppressed the secret joy in his heart and followed up.

”Now.”

Su Bai spat out those two words and, saying no more, turned and walked toward the stairwell.

The onlookers seemed to be separated by an invisible force, automatically making way for him.

Immediately after, a huge uproar and sounds of discussion erupted behind him; everyone was ignited by this sudden, heavyweight bet.

Lin Wan clenched her fists.

Zhou Feng leaned in close to her, his voice carrying panic: ”Class Monitor, this... what do we do? Brother Su... he seems to be serious!”

”What else can we do? Follow him and see!” Lin Wan replied anxiously, no longer caring about anything else as she pushed through the crowd first to keep up with that determined back.

Anxious?

Lin Wan didn’t know why she was so anxious herself.

Perhaps it was because this absurd bet concerned the face of the entire Class One; if Su Bai lost, the shame of kneeling and kowtowing would shroud the whole class.

Perhaps it was because... Su Bai was still her fiancé in name; if he was humiliated, she would also lose face.

Or perhaps, it was some other vague reasons that she didn’t even want to look into deeply.

But no matter the reason, at this moment, Lin Wan only felt a fire blocking her chest—Su Bai was absolutely crazy!

Zhou Feng only then reacted belatedly, hurriedly squeezing out of the excited crowd and jogging to catch up with Su Bai, whispering anxiously: ”Brother Su? Why do you have to race him? Endure for a moment and the wind and waves will calm!”

Su Bai just glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and continued walking down without stopping.

”Brother Su, no... if only someone in our class could outrun him, who would want to take this insult? But we just can’t!” Zhou Feng said with a bitter face, following closely. ”And aren’t you usually the one who fears trouble most and doesn’t care about this kind of thing at all?”

Su Bai’s footsteps paused imperceptibly, his gaze looking straight ahead with an unprecedented hardness:

”I can not care about anything, but except for this one thing, I won’t.”

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Feng and quickened his pace toward the playground.

On the playground.

The news flew across the campus like it had wings; almost all students from the two classes were present, and people from other grades who heard the news also rushed over to watch, surrounding the inside of the track so tightly that not a drop of water could leak through.

Kamii Ta-no was seriously stretching his legs and rotating his ankles by the track, doing a professional warm-up with a relaxed look of victory already in hand.

In contrast, Su Bai just stood casually by the starting line, not even taking off his jacket, let alone doing any warm-up movements; his posture didn’t look like he was there for a race, but rather like he was there for an inspection.

”Amateur,” Kamii Ta-no sneered disdainfully in his heart, becoming even more certain that this 200,000 was already in his pocket.

Su Bai didn’t care about the other’s scrutiny; he had full confidence in that troublesome yet genuinely physical-quality-strengthening Immortal Kidney Body.

Although the original intention wasn’t for running, that almost abnormal endurance and recovery power radiating from the inside out was more than enough to handle a five-thousand-meter race.

The two stood at the starting line, and a student who volunteered to be a temporary referee nervously raised his arm and blew the whistle:

”Ready—”

The whistle pierced the air sharply!

Two figures rushed out of the starting line at the same time!

In the starting stage, the professionally trained Kamii Ta-no was clearly superior; he was like a vigorous cheetah, instantly taking a lead of nearly five meters over Su Bai.

”It’s over, it’s over...” Zhou Feng stood on the inside of the track, watching Su Bai fall behind right from the start, stomping his feet in anxiety. ”Brother Su is really in a fit of rage for a beauty! The price is too high!”

”What nonsense are you talking?” Lin Wan frowned tightly, her gaze locked onto that slightly lazy yet exceptionally persistent figure on the track, her heartbeat accelerating for some unknown reason.
