The words were already out.
Cui Hao could only bite the bullet and reply, "Just you wait. I definitely won't fail."
His confidence wavered, and he clutched his book even tighter against his chest. It seemed he'd have to study in the dead of night again, just like before.
Just as Song Fan was about to reveal the truth, Cui Hao, quick as a flash, lunged forward and clapped a hand over her mouth, his eyes filled with a desperate plea.
Sun Yufei's brow furrowed slightly at the sight. "Cui Hao, what are you doing? Why won't you let Song Fan speak?" she asked, confused.
Cui Hao forced a smile. "Oh, it's nothing, nothing at all. Song Fan, there are customers waiting for their bubble tea. You should get busy instead of standing around chatting." As he spoke, he shot her a look, silently begging her to stay quiet. He then lowered his voice, whispering directly into her ear, "I'm begging you, please, don't blow my cover. Please."
"You owe me one."
