Chapter 50: Better Call Her Lin Bitch

Chapter 50: Change Your Name to Lin Bitch

"Hey, Shen Ci clearly said it would be within a week. How come it's only three days left when it gets to you?"

"Exactly. If you're going to fulfill a promise, the bet should be based on what Shen Ci said at the time to be fair."

Some students stepped forward to support Shen Ci, but others joined in the commotion, eager to watch the drama unfold.

"If you actually have the ability, why bother splitting it into three or five days? Isn't it just a matter of placing an order?"

"Well said. If you truly have the strength, time is just a number. You could place the order now and have it delivered by tonight."

Hearing this, Lin Biqi deliberately raised her voice and looked at Shen Ci, asking, "Just three days. Do you dare to bet?"

She wanted to humiliate Shen Ci in front of everyone. A week was too long; she couldn't wait to see Shen Ci slink out of the university with her tail between her legs.

The very thought made her want to laugh.

"Shen Ci, don't listen to her." Seeing that they were actually making a bet and that Lin Biqi was being so aggressive—clearly leaving Shen Ci no way out—Li Xiao shook his head, anxious. "Without me, how could you possibly..."

"How is it impossible?" Shen Ci glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Li Xiao, do you really know me? Am I the kind of person who makes empty promises and talks big?"

Li Xiao froze, his mind jolted by her words.

It was true. Shen Ci never promised anything beyond her capability. If she couldn't do something or didn't want to do it, she always refused directly.

Like asking her to wear black stockings for him once.

Shen Ci turned her gaze to Lin Biqi. "Forget three days. Let's make it today."

With that, she picked up her phone and called back the delivery driver from earlier. Once connected, she said softly, "Excuse me, please deliver them to the entrance of the cafeteria."

Seeing Shen Ci's actions, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted into a stir.

"What does that mean? It's already arrived?"

"Maybe she just ordered milk tea."

"Then what did she mean by saying 'not three days, but today'? That clearly means she's already bought it!"

"No way... Shen Ci actually bought them? Four astronomical telescopes?"

Hearing these words, Lin Biqi couldn't help but feel a flicker of panic, but she feigned composure to encourage herself, still speaking to Shen Ci with disdain, "Stop putting on an act."

"Heh, if the sky falls, your mouth will be there to hold it up." Shen Ci gave a cold laugh, turned around, and pulled Gu Lianxing toward the cafeteria entrance.

Seeing this, the surrounding students stopped eating and followed suit. Only those further away cast puzzled glances toward them, clearly unaware of the interesting event unfolding.

At the cafeteria entrance, a crowd gathered around Shen Ci. Following her gaze toward the school gate, they saw a medium-sized Shunfeng delivery truck slowly driving toward them, led by a security guard.

Normally, these deliveries weren't allowed into the campus; they were only permitted under special circumstances. The moment they saw the delivery truck approaching, everyone became excited and agitated.

Li Xiao was stunned. Was that a truck delivering astronomical telescopes?

The truck slowly came to a halt in front of the crowd. A staff member in a Shunfeng uniform stepped down from the passenger seat and asked, "Which one is Miss Shen?"

"I am." Shen Ci walked forward composedly and smiled. "Thank you for your hard work. Please unload the items right here."

The cafeteria entrance was the most crowded place on campus at noon. Since this matter was being spread throughout the school as a joke, she would use this method to let everyone in the school know the outcome.

She, Shen Ci, did what she said. She didn't make empty promises!

The rear of the truck opened, and several delivery drivers unloaded the items together. Four boxes were placed side by side, and the brand "Harper" printed on the boxes told everyone exactly what was inside.

"Holy crap, it really is Harper!"

"Four Harpers... Shen Ci actually donated them?"

"I was too presumptuous. I feel like a damn clown for laughing at her."

"Shen Ci won. That girl is going to have to shout that she's an idiot on the sports field!"

Shen Ci showed no sign of joy. She walked toward the dumbfounded Lin Biqi with an indifferent expression. "Do you want to open them and assemble them to check if they're real? Or should I just show you the screenshot of the order?"

Lin Biqi snapped back to her senses, her face looking worse than if she had eaten excrement. In a few short seconds, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to black. "Shen Ci, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"On purpose? What did I do on purpose?" Shen Ci looked puzzled and asked in return, "Hasn't it always been you doing things on purpose? Purposely trying to provoke me, purposely trying to humiliate me, purposely trying to lead everyone to make a fool of me."

"I was just cooperating with you. Look at you—I really cooperated, and now you're unhappy again."

"Or is it that only I am allowed to be the joke, but you aren't? If so, aren't you being a bit too much of a bitch?"

Shen Ci's tone was very light, as if none of this mattered to her at all. But it was precisely this nonchalant attitude that trampled even harder on Lin Biqi's self-esteem.

At this moment, Lin Biqi had only one feeling: that Shen Ci didn't respect her at all.

And that was indeed the truth. Shen Ci had her own rhythm. She knew well that besides money, she had no other leverage right now, so she maintained a state of non-provocation toward Li Xiao, the Li family, and Lin Biqi.

She needed time, she needed to accumulate strength, and she needed to wait until the day she was powerful enough to settle the "old accounts" with these people.

But unfortunately, there were always people who didn't know when to stop, jumping around in front of her. In that case, she could only administer a small punishment to teach them a lesson and let them suffer a bit.

"A bet is a bet, and everyone is watching." As Shen Ci spoke, she tilted her head slightly and questioned with a furrowed brow, "But I feel like you have the look of a 'dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.' You look exactly like someone who doesn't keep their word."

The provocation hit Lin Biqi's weak point perfectly.

Her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Do you really think I wouldn't dare accept the punishment?"

Shen Ci smiled. "You'd better dare. If you try to back out, don't call yourself Lin Biqi anymore. Change it to Lin Bitch. After all, only a bitch would do something like refusing to admit a loss."

The single sentence caused the surrounding students to burst into laughter.

"Pfft, Shen Ci is so good at insulting people!"

"Is it okay to laugh? I damn well can't help it!"

"Lin Bitch... that's actually good. Bitch, hahahahaha!"

Lin Biqi's face flushed crimson from the surrounding laughter. She immediately looked at Li Xiao with teary eyes, saying aggrievedly, "Brother Li Xiao, this is the girl you like. Look for yourself how vicious she is!"

"The bet was mutual. Now that you've lost, you're calling Shen Ci vicious? If Shen Ci had lost, would you have let her off?" Gu Lianxing said angrily.

Li Xiao had just recovered from the shock of the four astronomical telescopes and had no interest in listening to Lin Biqi.

He looked at Shen Ci in disbelief, his mouth twitching for a long time before he asked in shock, "These are... you bought them yourself?"
