Shen Zhao didn't know how she fell asleep that night. She could feel her heart beating, and the deafening sound seemed to be about to jump out of her body.

That night she was still lying next to Mu Yanchen. As long as she turned her head, she could see Mu Yanchen's quiet profile when he was asleep, his smooth and sharp jawline, and his deep facial features that could be felt even with his eyes closed. When he was asleep, he was less sharp than when he was awake, and his whole person became completely softened.

It was such a person who said such words for Sheng Baiyi. She stared at Mu Yanchen with complicated eyes. Does he know Sheng Baiyi?

On second thought, it is possible. After all, it concerns his own body. The fact that he can invest in Xinrui Pharmaceuticals means that he is familiar with its structure. There are only a few researchers in that project. He knows Sheng Baiyi, and it is understandable that she did not know him at the time. However, it is just a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Is it necessary for Mu Yanchen to do such a thing for Sheng Baiyi?

That serious expression still lingers in her mind. After spending all this time together, she knows that he is serious. If there really is a murderer, he will definitely do it.

This made Shen Zhao even more confused. She searched her memory frantically, but it seemed that they had never met, let alone known each other. With such an unequal relationship, how could she make Mu Yanchen do such a radical thing for her?

Despite his doubts, Shen Zhao slowly fell asleep. When her breathing became long, the person next to her opened his eyes, like a hawk flying in the night sky, with a sharp light flashing in front of his pupils. He turned sideways, stretched out his hand and took the sleeping girl into his arms.

He leaned forward and whispered, "I mean it. I mean what I say."

The next day, the college entrance examination results were announced, and Shen Zhao had to go back to school to get her transcript. When she stepped into the campus, she received envious glances from other classmates. She walked towards her class suspiciously, and was stopped by Xu Ke and others when she passed the campus railing.

Shen Zhao saw several people standing in front of the school fence in a neat row, "What's going on?"

Ma Shuyi raised his chin, his tone still very bad, "Can't you see it yourself?"

But Shen Zhao saw the pride in her pupils. After hearing what she said, Shen Zhao looked towards the campus column. It turned out that the college entrance examination results had been posted, and he was indeed at the top of the list. The top ten people even had their portraits next to their results, which made Shen Zhao a little flattered. The most important thing was that the provincial ranking was written next to her score. Without a doubt, the number was "1".

Seeing Shen Zhao's calmness, Li Kui smiled and said, "You look so calm. Did you guess this result a long time ago?"

Shen Zhao was not modest at all, "It is indeed like this."

Ma Shuyi yelled at the side: "Are you going to let me live? I'm only ranked outside the top 300 in my grade! Xu Ke and Li Kui are not so bad, one is in the top 100 and the other is around 150."

Xu Ke put his arm around Ma Shuyi's shoulders and brushed them vigorously with his hand. "It's okay. With your grades and the extra points from the art exam, it's no problem for you to be admitted to the same university as me."

"Even though it's like this, I still feel aggrieved. How come some people who didn't come to school before and have only been here for one semester can actually get top marks, while those of us who study diligently every day only get average or below average grades!"

Ma Shuyi was still yelling, and Xu Ke could hardly bear to listen to her anymore. Shen Zhao had given them some cram lessons before the exam, and it was up to them to decide how much they absorbed. But it had to be said that the effect was very significant. If she had been at her previous level, she might have ranked around 200th in the college entrance examination. How could she have suddenly moved up by a hundred places? The same thing happened to Ma Shuyi. Although she kept saying that it was unfair, she was actually grateful to Shen Zhao.

Xu Ke didn't let Ma Shuyi dwell on this question for too long. She said hastily, "I came early today. Do you know what I heard?"

This immediately aroused the curiosity of several people, and they asked in unison: "What is it?"

Xu Ke didn't keep the secret any longer and got to the point. "I've been standing here since early this morning. Then the school leaders came over and said that it was a great honor for our school to have a provincial champion. Then, the school history museum, which was only open for freshmen on the first day of school, was opened today as an exception. They said they wanted to put Shen Zhao's photo in it. After all, he was an outstanding graduate!"

“There is such a thing!” Even Li Kui was quite surprised.

Xu Ke continued, "Didn't I tell you about the handsome guy I saw in the school history museum?"

"A school hunk who's more handsome than Lu Siming and Xiao Yi?" Ma Shuyi reacted immediately.

Xu Ke nodded, "Do you want to go and have a look? The school history museum is open today, which is rare!"

"Of course! The final exam is over, otherwise why would we be stuck around books?" Ma Shuyi circled Xu Ke's hand, "Let's go! Lead the way," she turned her head to look at Shen Zhao and Li Kui, "You two follow!"

Shen Zhao glanced at Li Kui and followed reluctantly.

The sudden opening of the school history museum today naturally attracted many students. Some of them did not have the opportunity to visit it when they were freshmen, and some went in to revisit the place. Xu Ke and her friends went there for the handsome guy. Their purpose was simple, but by the time they stood in front of the portrait, there were already quite a few people gathered there.

"How about it? Isn't he handsome? Much more handsome than Lu Siming and Xiao Yi, right?" Xu Ke turned around and looked at the three stunned girls. She was extremely satisfied. She just wanted to see them look stunned like this.

Ma Shuyi and Li Kui were indeed stunned, but Shen Zhao was not. She stood still, staring at the portrait. It was not a photo but an oil painting to be precise. The signature was when she was just in high school. The painter only wrote a big "s". The person in the portrait was very familiar to her. Wasn't that the person who slept next to her every day?

The person in the portrait was still quite young. Although he looked weak, he was not as sick as he is now. He looked fresh and handsome, with tenderness in his eyes and a faint smile on his lips, as if he was looking at the person who painted. Shen Zhao suddenly felt as if his heart was being grasped. There was a dull pain in his temples, and his mind was foggy. What was going on? Impossible, how could Mu Yanchen be Deyan's student?

Even if he was really Deyan's student, judging from the time of the signature, she was also a high school student at that time. How could she not know such an outstanding person!

Waves of pain spread through her mind like a whirlpool, and she suddenly could not hear what the people around her were saying, and the other people became a blur.

With a bang, Shen Zhao fell to the wooden floor with a loud thud.

Xu Ke and the others quickly ran over to her side and lifted her up. Li Kui calmly called an ambulance. Ma Shuyi stood aside, her face full of anxiety. People from all directions began to gather around her...
