Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 90 Win First Place
Chapter 90 - 90 Win First Place
Zhou Yi, the Olympad results are out—they're finally out!
The class monitor panted as he ran up to Zhou Yi.
The entire class perked up, eavesdropping quietly.
Earlier, someone on TikTok had questioned Zhou Yi's scores.
When they defended him, they were accused of being paid trolls.
That incident truly made them realize how cruel online communities could be.
Zhou Yi looked up calmly and asked, "How did it go?"
The monitor exclaimed with excitement, "You came in first place! First in the provincial competition!"
His voice carried across the room, and the class erupted into cheers.
"Wow, Zhou Yi is incredible!"
"How many points do you need to win first in the provincial competition? Was it another perfect score?"
"To be honest, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised no matter what score he got."
"But look at him—so calm! He just gave a faint smile!"
"What would I have to do to get him to notice me?"
"Give it up. Even the school beauty sends him gifts every day, and he doesn't even bat an eye. Don't waste your time dreaming."
As they spoke, their eyes drifted toward Su Ning, who stood a short distance away.
By now, it was clear to everyone what Su Ning felt for Zhou Yi.
But Zhou Yi's attitude toward her remained indifferent, as bland as plain water—just like how Su Ning used to treat others.
Zhang Lili excitedly whispered to Su Ning, "Ning, Zhou Yi took first place in the provincial competition! Did you hear that?"
Su Ning's heart fluttered involuntarily.
She had always admired strong individuals—not just academically gifted ones, but those with inner strength.
Over time, she'd watched Zhou Yi rise to fame, face criticism, receive praise, and endure doubt.
Not only had more people within the school begun to pay attention to him, but rumors about him had also spread wildly online.
Zhou Yi seemed like a young man suddenly thrust under the spotlight, scrutinized by countless eyes.
One misstep, and she couldn't imagine the kind of vicious attacks that might follow.
At first, she worried that all this pressure might affect his performance in the provincial competition.
She assumed he was putting on a brave face while secretly feeling anxious.

But to her surprise, he didn't seem bothered at all.
From the bottom of her heart, Su Ning admired and respected Zhou Yi.
Her feelings for him grew deeper without her realizing it.
Every day, she brought small gifts for him, observing his reaction when he entered the classroom.
Zhou Yi always glanced at her first.
At first, she avoided his gaze, but gradually, she found herself able to meet his eyes directly.
Though her heart raced inside, she wanted Zhou Yi to see her change.
Even though Su Ning had never been in love before, she knew something had shifted between them.
If she didn't become a better version of herself, how could she ever stand beside Zhou Yi?
When she saw the beautiful girl standing next to Zhou Yi in the trending news, she felt a pang of inferiority for the first time.
Without realizing it, she began comparing herself to Jiang Ruolan.
In terms of looks, Jiang Ruolan wasn't inferior to her, and her confident demeanor was captivating—even Su Ning couldn't help but admire her.
Jiang Ruolan was also a top graduate from A University.
Determined not to lose to her, Su Ning vowed to pursue her postgraduate studies at A University.
Once she succeeded, she would confess her feelings to Zhou Yi.
With this goal in mind, her resolve hardened.
"Ningning, what's wrong? Are you lost in thought again?" Zhang Lili's voice pulled her back to reality.
"I heard, Lili. He's amazing. For a moment, I felt so far away from him," Su Ning murmured.
Despite sitting in the same classroom, mere meters apart, something intangible had changed dramatically.
Su Ning lowered her gaze, her expression heavy with emotion.
Zhang Lili sighed. Who would have thought that Su Ning, once proud and untouchable, would feel so uncertain?
She had witnessed countless people fail before Su Ning, yet here she was, falling for Zhou Yi—a boy she had once mocked.
Some mistakes couldn't easily be undone. If she were Zhou Yi, she wouldn't forgive either. Besides, Zhou Yi hadn't truly been weak; he had merely hidden his brilliance.
How could he overlook humiliation so easily?
"Ning, I don't know what to say. But Zhou Yi... he's extraordinary. He's reached a level where we can only look up to him."
Su Ning furrowed her brow and forced a bitter smile. "Do you think I'm not good enough for him anymore?"
Just half a month ago, people laughed at Zhou Yi for daring to like a goddess like Su Ning.
Even his quiet admiration was dismissed as an impossible dream—an ugly frog lusting after a swan.
Now, no one thought that way. Instead, Su Ning was seen as nothing more than a pretty face.
It was obvious to anyone that Su Ning was showing affection toward Zhou Yi.
At first, the class was surprised, but soon, they grew accustomed to it.
It was normal. Falling for Zhou Yi was as natural as breathing.
Every day, he received countless love letters, yet Su Ning still lacked the courage to take the final step.
She wanted to wait until she became worthy enough to tell him boldly.
But now, she doubted whether getting into A University would make any difference.
Zhou Yi had already started his own business.
That day, she showed her family Huanyu's recruitment requirements and asked for their opinions.
Her father remarked, "He has courage, but he's naive. The world will teach him harsh lessons. Naive idealism cannot coexist with capitalism."
Her brother was harsher: "He's setting himself up for failure. People will exploit him, and he'll regret it later."
But when she asked her brother's subordinates, their responses were different. "He's doing something remarkable." "He's challenging the majority of capital." "Even if he fails, I hope he changes the world." "Challenging capital rarely ends well, but I respect people like him." "Good luck to him. Honestly, if it works, I'd want to join too. It's hard not to be inspired."
Su Ning had never worked a day in her life and didn't fully understand the harsh realities of society.
Like a flower nurtured in a greenhouse, she couldn't grasp the significance of these recruitment conditions.
Though Huanyu might seem small and insignificant now, at least it existed.
Even the faintest light was still light.
Zhou Yi didn't realize that his seemingly casual actions would spark such profound change.
Changing the world doesn't always start with a dazzling explosion—it might begin with a butterfly flapping its wings.
