Chapter Twenty-Three: You've fallen for him!

"What do you think will happen to me?" Huo Yushen's voice was somewhat deep.

"I thought something had happened to your family, so you two brothers needed to go back together to deal with it," I explained.

"It really is a family matter." Huo Yushen's handsome face was somewhat gloomy.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" I asked tentatively.

"Study hard." Huo Yushen smiled. "Knowing that you got good grades makes me happy."

"Really?" I asked seriously, "Will it make you happy if I get good grades?"

Huo Yushen didn't expect me to ask such a serious and excited question.

I also realized that I seemed to be making too much of a fuss.

"Yes." Huo Yushen's dark eyes were deep: "I'll be happy if you do well on the exam, and I'll be happy if you're happy every day."

His words made me feel a little sweet inside.

"I'll make you happier." I stepped forward: "I promise, I won't mess up the final exams!"

Huo Yushen smiled and said, "I thought you were going to say you got first place in this exam."

I was both amused and exasperated: "Don't make fun of me. The teachers analyzed it that day, and only Huo Yubai solved those problems. There are very few people in the whole city who could do that. I can't compare to him."

"I told him to take it easy next time," Huo Yushen said with a faint smile.

"That won't do!" I refused righteously. "You tell him for me that he has to work hard for the final exams, or I'll look down on him!"

"Yes, I will bring it." Huo Yushen nodded.

"Go home now, it'll be too late otherwise," I told him. "Message me when you get home."

"Shen Yan." Huo Yushen looked at me quite seriously, "I may not be able to tutor you often, but if you have any questions about your studies, you can call me and I will help you."

Hearing him say that made me feel a little uneasy.

In other words, I won't see him for a long time.

It seems something really serious has happened in his family.

"Okay." I looked at him calmly. "I understand."

He looked at me and said, "You go in first, I'll watch you go upstairs."

I took a deep breath and turned to leave.

He watched me until I entered the gate before leaving.

I was standing in the elevator when suddenly my eyes welled up with tears.

For a long time afterward, I didn't see Huo Yushen.

Huo Yubai also did not come to school, and the teachers did not seem to say anything.

I study all day long, trying my best not to think about anything else.

Before we knew it, winter break was just around the corner, and with one final exam to go, the semester would be over.

Everyone was very nervous about this exam.

After all, it's about whether or not we can have a good New Year at the end of the year.

I don't feel any pressure.

Although Huo Yushen and I have never met, we have always kept in touch.

He was very serious and responsible, and kept a close eye on my studies, even stricter than my mother.

My mom trusts me completely. Last month, I was still in second place, which put her at ease.

I sat in the examination room, feeling depressed.

Because Gu Heng was in front of me and Zhao Baixue was behind me.

Yes, there's another monthly exam between my amazing monthly exam and this final exam.

They came in first and third place, respectively.

Huo Yubai did not participate in the exam, so he did not receive a ranking.

during break.

Zhao Baixue would run up to Gu Heng and ask him questions, and the two interacted frequently.

Zhao Baixue would glance at me from time to time.

If I don't react, she'll shout even louder.

How childish!

I am no longer the person I used to be.

Right now, I don't care at all who Gu Heng gets close to.

Even if they were together now, I wouldn't care.

As I looked out the window, all I could think about was someone else.

"Shen Yan." Gu Heng turned around.

I looked at him with little interest: "What are you doing?"

"With your current grades, it's still possible to get into Tsinghua or Peking University if you work harder," Gu Heng reminded him. "But there are some questions on the college entrance exam that even teachers can't predict. I can help you predict them."

"I don't want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University." I refused.

Zhao Baixue hadn't left yet, and she teased, "Shen Yan, I'm not making fun of you, but your grades are unstable. Forget about Tsinghua or Peking University, you might not even be able to get into any of the top universities in our city."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous for the third-place student to say something like that to the second-place student?" I said sarcastically. "If you want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University so badly, try to pass my exam first."

Zhao Baixue's face turned ugly.

"I advise you not to mess with me." I said impatiently, "I haven't provoked you, and you'd better not bother me either."

Gu Heng frowned: "Shen Yan, your words are too harsh. Bai Xue's foundation is more solid than yours. She has always been in the top three of the grade. You have only done well in the last few exams."

“If Huo Yubai were here, she would be fourth.” I looked at him coldly.

Sure enough, Gu Heng's face turned very gloomy.

When he's in a bad mood, I feel happy.

Soon, the proctor entered the classroom.

Final exams are about to begin.

The first match has begun and ended.

I walked out of the examination room.

"Yan Yan!" Mu Xi grabbed me: "I saw Huo Yubai, he's in the last exam room!"

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately went to find him.

really.

He sat in the last seat in the examination room.

"Huo Yubai!" I walked over.

He looked at me coldly: "What are you doing here?"

"Look at you," I explained, "I didn't expect you to come to take the final exam."

"No exam, no graduation certificate." He said in a cold tone.

I chuckled and said, "Not only do you need to get your diploma, but you also need to take the college entrance exam and get into university. With your abilities, you can do it!"

He scoffed, "How did you know I wanted to go to college?"

"Then give me a reason not to go to college!" I said, hands on my hips.

He glared at me: "Why do you care about me?"

“Because…you know.” I frowned.

He insisted that I make myself clear.

Huo Yubai said sarcastically, "For him, right?"

"I'm doing this for your own good." I reminded him, "Huo Yubai, the college entrance exam is very important. Don't make things difficult for yourself, no matter who else you're against."

"I understand." Huo Yubai lay on the table, seemingly wanting to catch up on sleep.

“Um…” I hesitated for a moment.

But with Mu Xi here, I didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

"Would you like to come over for lunch?" I invited, "XiXi will be coming too."

Mu Xi was taken aback.

Why didn't she know?

"Why did I go to your house?" Huo Yubai asked, puzzled.

"Because my home is very close to here," I said seriously. "It's better to have lunch and rest at noon than to eat out."

Huo Yubai frowned slightly.

"I'll come find you after the exam." Afraid he wouldn't agree, I quickly pulled Mu Xi out.

Mu Xi looked at me meaningfully: "Shen Yan, aren't you a little too interested in him?"

"We're classmates," I explained with a smile. "Besides, he helped me before."

"That's it?" Mu Xi didn't believe it. "From what I can tell, you've fallen for him!"
