Chapter 83: Great God Level

  Pang Guang didn't really get drunk to the point of losing consciousness. When Lin Junyun helped him down from Zhao Hankui's car, he was already half awake. With a hint of intoxication, Pang Guang's words flowed naturally as he hooked up the corner of his mouth and asked Lin Junyun with a charming smile on his handsome face: "Dear wife, have you noticed that uncle's gaze at you is not quite right?"

  "Smooth talker, who's your wife?" Lin Junyun pinched Pang Guang's arm with her fingernail and tilted her head in thought. "Really? I feel like he was staring at you guys all night, what's wrong with that."

  "I don't know how to put it, but something just doesn't feel right. It's all very strange." Pang Guang thought that maybe he was just being paranoid, "Anyway, you should try to avoid him from now on, he doesn't seem like a good person."

  "Nerve, didn't you ask me to go? I've been observing him all along, he's always looking at the two of you. Are you jealous of Zhang Xiaoting?" Lin Junyun laughed and scolded: "Actually, Uncle is a very good person, elegant, enthusiastic, generous and dignified. I was a home tutor at his house for a while."

  "Be dignified, be dignified." Pang Guang scolded: "Then why don't you marry him and cling to my old man? Since you came, my old man hasn't had a good day."

  Lin Junyun saw that he was quite drunk and still had a distance from the door, so she started chatting with Pang Guang to prevent him from falling asleep. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get this big living person back: "You think you're precious, still clinging to you, all because of your dad's stupid idea, saying something about using engagement to calm down rumors. Rumors are like leftover rice, stir-fry once and it looks good, but after another night, there's no flavor left. The engagement didn't work, on the contrary, I was killed by it. Now everyone knows I have a fiancé, how can I get married in the future?"

  "You deserve to be unmarried, if you hadn't snatched my phone back then, so many things wouldn't have happened." Pang Guang recalled the scene of meeting Lin Junyun for the first time in Zhongshan Park last year and thought it was hilarious. "Your disheveled hair and standing on the wall was really scary, fortunately I'm brave, if it were someone else they would have been scared away, and later so many things wouldn't have happened."

  Lin Junyun was also lost in thought, thinking about the past. There were many coincidences between her and Pang Guang, but each coincidence seemed to be a setup for future developments. From their first meeting to getting engaged and living together, everything seemed like it had been arranged by fate beforehand. At first, she thought Pang Guang was a pervert who took secret photos of her, but after clearing up the misunderstanding, she found out that his father was an official and her mother was a prostitute, and they lived in completely different worlds. It was unlikely that their lives would intersect, but then the online rumor incident happened, bringing two people from different worlds together again. In the end, they even got "engaged" and "cohabited". The inevitability of all these coincidences seemed to be orchestrated by fate itself, as if it had been predetermined at a specific point in her life. Lin Junyun thought about this and couldn't help but smile wryly: "I've let Pang Dahu down, who can tame that stubborn son of his?"

  "Pang Guang, do you believe in fate?" Lin Junyun suddenly asked with sparkling eyes. She wanted to know if it was a coincidence or an arrangement of fate that she and Pang Guang had known each other since the first time they met and were now living under the same roof.

  Pang Guang rubbed his forehead and said: "What kind of common name is worth believing in? Can names be divided into elegant and vulgar?"

  Lin Junyun was choked by saliva for a moment and couldn't say a word for half a day. She really couldn't understand how Pang Guang's brain was structured. Saying he was stupid, sometimes he was quite clever, saying he was smart, but always silly.

  "I think my name is already common enough, I've been teased about it since I was a kid, but Dad chose it and it's been set in stone for ages, can't change it now, just have to believe in it!"

  "Pig head, it's fate, the destiny of the dwelling, the fate of the fate." Lin Junyun almost laughed: "It's so troublesome not to communicate with you."

  "What does 'fate' mean?" Pang Guang was perplexed.

  As they spoke, they had already reached the entrance of their home. Lin Junyun took out his key and opened the door, saying: "We're home, go look up the words in the dictionary yourself."

  "I won't look it up." Pang Guang's face turned red, as if Guan Yu had been reincarnated, unsure whether he was drunk or truly felt sorry for being an uncultured person.

  "I'm going to collapse, I'm already in high school and I still don't know how to look up words in a dictionary, we learned this in elementary school first grade." Lin Junyun looked at Pang Guang's awkward expression, it didn't seem like he was joking, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Alright, after dinner you come to my room, I'll teach you." Lin Junyun thought to herself, since Pang Dahu helped her and her mother with the remaining rent, she might as well use her free time to tutor him a bit, it would also ease her guilty conscience.

  After dinner, Lin Junyun indeed pulled Pang Guang into the bedroom, took out "Xinhua Dictionary" from the bookshelf, and started from the most basic part. She was very patient and focused, using a whole evening to teach Pang Guang how to look up words in the dictionary. Finally, Lin Junyun got tired, and Pang Guang brought the dictionary back to his own room, still eager to continue looking up words. He had always been self-conscious about his name being ridiculed by others, but today he learned that besides using his fists, he could also use a dictionary to understand the meaning of his name. Following Lin Junyun's method, he looked up the characters for "Pang" and "Guang", as well as many other people's names, becoming completely absorbed in it. Lying in bed with his eyes closed, the characters still lingered in his mind, swirling around like little spirits. He thought to himself, "It turns out that my name 'Pang Guang' can be understood in such a way - bright and upright, glorious and respected, unlimited splendor." He felt that his name was actually quite impressive, with a strong presence. From now on, if anyone dared to mock him again, he wouldn't use his fists; instead, he would use his newfound knowledge to retort with elegant words, making them envy and admire him. This way, he would show that he, Pang Guang, was refined and dignified.

  That night, Pang Guang was insomnia for the first time because of his deep feeling of the charm of knowledge and culture.

  The next day, Pang Guang came to school with two big panda eyes. It was the first day that his teacher would be giving him special tutoring. With a clear attitude, he had three goals: first, to take back the computer that had been unceremoniously moved to Lin Jun's room; second, to take back control of his allowance from Lin Jun; and third, to be able to hold his head up high when talking to Zhang Xiaoting. After last night's sleepless night, he added a fourth goal: learning wasn't painful after all, and it could even help him understand many things that had previously been unclear to him...

  Under the influence of many factors, Pang Guang was arranged by the school to have a full-time tutor for him during this period, and he studied very hard and seriously.

  The day when the school announced the results of the final exam finally arrived, and the whole class 4 of grade 3 was in an uproar. Because the result sheet actually missed Pang Guang's name, several students who were used to finding their own names on the last page of the paper to see if they could avoid being at the bottom by relying on Pang Guang to take the blame for them repeatedly searched the last page, the second-to-last page, and the third-to-last page, searching through every single word multiple times, but still couldn't find Pang Guang's name.

  "My god, didn't I see it wrong? I've checked all the names with honors and indeed couldn't find it. How could the teacher miss Pang Guang's name?" Student A, who always ranked at the bottom, was the first to notice that something was off with the grades. Where was Pang Guang's name? Since he came to Dongcheng Middle School, he had been hiding his talents and ranking second to last, becoming an unknown figure."

  "Really, what's going on? The teacher is so careless. I finally found someone who scored worse than me, and yet they forgot to write down their name." Student B said with a sad face.

  "What? Pang Guang's name is missing? How is that possible?" Student C heard him shouting and also came over to take a look, and indeed couldn't find Pang Guang's name. After searching patiently for a long time, he finally revealed an incredulous expression: "My god, it's so high, it's so high, I found it, on the first page."

  "What? The first page?" Student A, who was still searching for the name "Pang Guang" on the last page, had his eyes wide with shock: "Wh...what kind of joke is this, the first page is all legendary figures, how is that possible?"

  "Don't believe me? See for yourself!"

  Student A stood on tiptoes to look, but the first page was really too high, he couldn't see clearly. He pulled over a chair from beside and stood on it, soon saw Pang Guang's name hanging high up in the second row, his expression suddenly froze. His pale, thin face showed a sorrowful and worried look: "Pang Guang, ah Pang Guang! Originally thought that with you by my side, our lives would be intertwined, but now my high school life is lonely, didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I'm still second to last, while you've become second from the top, far away from me. As a master, why am I always so lonely?"

  "There are fewer people there, don't write on the internet that you're the only one who's been wronged. Our class's three bottom students can't do without each other, if it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for Pang Guang, there wouldn't be any suspense left. Today, a new situation suddenly appeared, we must remain calm, even calmer. My intuition tells me that there must be something fishy going on here. I'll go back and tell my dad about it, ask him to find someone to investigate whether the score sheet was printed incorrectly by mistake or if someone tampered with it for personal gain, deliberately altering the scores." Student B said.

  Beng had been silent for a long time, his pale face furrowed with worry, as if dark clouds were gathering. "How could this be? Dad just promised me the other day that as long as I didn't come in last place on this exam, he'd buy me a new phone." He had originally thought that with Pang Guang at the bottom, he would definitely pass with flying colors, but unexpectedly, disaster struck and the person who was supposed to be at the bottom suddenly jumped to the top of the page. "If heaven wants to destroy me, I'll destroy heaven; Pang Guang, you won't let me live a good life, I won't let you have a good life either."
