Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1022

As the date of release for the college entrance examination results approached, the Club HS members grew increasingly nervous.

After two weeks of interaction, everyone had grown fond of Cheryl, who was good at gaming, looked cute and sweet, and was soft-spoken!

Sometimes when they saw her watching videos as she munched on fries, they couldn't even imagine that she was the little girl blasting people with her cannon in the game.

In the game, Cheryl, whose forte was being a gunner, played as a female character who carried a cannon as big as herself and could take out half an opponent's HP with just a single blast.

Moreover, the character could move quickly from one spot to another, so her movements were flexible and she was not easily caught. This simply fitted her image too well.

As a result, everyone subconsciously became protective of her... They even subconsciously gave her the best of everything in daily life.

Take for example their lunch. In the past, whenever they had fried chicken, everyone would fight for the drumsticks. This wasn't because they really wanted the drumsticks; rather, it was just the boys' competitive streak.

But now...

"The watermelon is really sweet today! Come on, cut them into pieces and give some to God C! She likes munching on fruits when she watches game replays."

"Oh, this crab has so much roe! Here you go, C!"

"What? They are customizing new equipment for us again? I'm not in a hurry, so God C can go first! Ladies first!"

Cheryl had become the club's favorite.

Even the strict Captain Zac had turned a blind eye to the situation, and was no longer the 'Demon Lord Jungler' he was previously known as. In fact...

"You can have the first red buff we get."

The first wave of the game was spent clearing monsters in the jungle. In the past, in order to reach level 4 quickly, Zac had to set the pace, so he never gave the first wave of monsters to the gunners or mages.

Even Lionel, the mage, didn't have such privilege!

Yet Cheryl had been given the team's first red buff.

When Lionel heard this during a team match, he wanted to cry. He asked, "Captain, when will you ever give me the first blue buff?"

Zac, who was controlling the mouse, replied perfunctorily, "Hmm... Try having a sex change first?"

Lionel:"..."

That evening, they played until it was late in the night— because they would be able to check the examination results online once it was midnight!

The matter had been on everyone's minds all this time; they just didn't dare to mention anything about it, that's all. One by one, all of them looked at Cheryl—only to see her hands flying across the keyboard at high speed. She didn't look nervous in the least.

Had she forgotten about it?

Despite thinking so, they found it somewhat of a positive development.

While they were having a break after the match, Zac quickly went to the club's public relations department, where he saw the head coach and some others on standby.

Upon seeing him, the head coach extended his hand to him and said, "Don't worry, we are ready!"

Since the day before, fans of Club JQ had been ©-mentioning Cheryl constantly.

A verified big-name fan of Club JQ had made a post, which was subsequently liked and reposted by many:

'The college entrance examination results will be out soon. Are you scared yet? So, have you decided which university to attend? Is it Harvard or MIT?'

They even included a mocking GIF in the post.

It was obvious that they were being sarcastic.

There was still more than an hour until midnight.

This hour-long period tormented everyone in the club.

When Zac returned, he saw Cheryl still gaming with a lollipop in her mouth. She looked as though she had really forgotten about the matter.

Suddenly, he felt awfully unsettled.

He wanted to ask her what exactly was going on.

From the side, Lionel also couldn't help but ask, "Hey, God C. Um, did you ever try estimating your score after the college entrance examinations?"

Cheryl glanced at him with her big and pretty eyes and then answered, "Nope!"

Ever since she started scoring full marks in the mock exams, she seldom looked at the answers. She had absolute confidence that she could get everything right!

Lionel:

He wanted to ask further about the matter, but the person next to him covered his mouth and gave him a look that screamed "Stop asking about it! Why are you so clueless?!".

Lionel muttered, "It's obviously because she looks so calm and relaxed, so I thought she might really pull it off... That's why I asked..."

She didn't even try estimating her score... Just how much did Cheryl love her games?!

Although he was awfully anxious about it, he didn't dare to probe any further. Thus, he tried to incite Zac to do it instead. He said, "Captain, why don't you try asking your teacher for some information again? Ask him if she can get into a prestigious... nah, a first-rate university. A first-rate university would sound reasonable too. This way, they won't mock her too badly..."

Zac glanced at him and then shoved both hands in his pockets. "Ugh, look at how impatient you are!"

Lionel:"!!"

He hung his head upon being chastised. But when he noticed Zac going out again, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain, where are you going?"

"To the bathroom."

Lionel:"?"

He scratched his head. "Captain, do you have bladder issues? Didn't you just go?"

Zac:

This time, Zac indeed entered the bathroom next door. He took out his cell phone, opened up his chat with his ex-homeroom teacher, and then sent a text message: 'Hey, can I ask you a question? Based on your understanding of Cheryl, can she get into a first-rate university?'
