Start as a top student after transmigrating.

Following the editor's suggestion to climb the charts, Chen Dong specially added an extra chapter to ask for votes and support. He then replied to various book reviews and discussions, and finally finished writing, turned off his computer, and went to sleep.

The exams continued the following day.

In the morning it was science, in the afternoon it was English. As expected, Chen Dong stood out in the last exam room. Apart from Liu Yumo, who was scratching his head and working hard on the questions, the other underachievers were either sleeping or bored and spacing out.

Only Chen Dong answered the questions calmly and methodically; the scratching sound of his pen on the exam paper seemed particularly jarring, even surprising the proctor.

"Finally a holiday! Dong-ge, Mo-ge, let's play a few rounds of billiards!"

In Class 3 classroom, some classmates invited Chen Dong and Liu Yumo.

Liu Yumo's eyes lit up. He hadn't played this game in a long time, and now that the exams were over, he could finally relax.

"Sister Han invited you over for dinner. If you dare to stand her up, then go have some fun."

Chen Dong didn't stop him, letting Liu Yumo consider it himself.

"I think I'll go to Sister Han's place instead."

Liu Yumo's eyes dimmed; how could he dare disobey Sister Han?

"Don't worry, there's plenty of fun to be had."

Chen Dong felt sorry for him seeing his dejected look, so he tossed him his schoolbag and offered him a little something sweet.

"Really?" Liu Yumo's eyes lit up again.

"Let's go eat at Ning'er's place first." Chen Dong went to find Ye Wanwan, while Liu Yumo excitedly called out to Jiang Lina, making sure no one from the five-person group was left out.

When they arrived at the residential area where Han Ning'er lived, the little girl was already waiting for them.

They greeted each other and walked together into the residential area.

"Ye Zi, how did your exam go?" Han Ning'er asked the three girls walking ahead.

"The questions are a bit difficult, so they might not be very good," Ye Wanwan said.

Jiang Lina, usually so carefree, said bitterly, "It's not just a little bit, it's really difficult. Before the exam, I was hoping to get 450, but now I'd be lucky to get 400."

"400 isn't enough. If I could get 400 points, those two manufacturers in my family would probably be thinking about how lucky they are," Liu Yumo interjected.

"Don't you know your own level?" Jiang Lina gave him a disdainful look.

"Two hundred points? Is that not good enough?" Liu Yumo was not ashamed at all. So what if it's over two hundred? I'm not proud or arrogant. Can't I envy those who scored 400?

"Fine, fine, you think you're so high-class?" Jiang Lina was too lazy to pay him any attention. Trash~

Hey~

Liu Yumo rolled up his sleeves.

"Sister Han, look at him." Jiang Lina hid on the other side of Han Ning'er.

She would never have dared to be so 'outrageous' in front of Liu Yumo before, but after getting to know him recently, she found it quite interesting, especially with Chen Dong's 'token' in hand and Han Ning'er backing her up, Liu Yumo didn't dare to resist at all.

She seemed to somewhat enjoy this blatant "bullying," as it allowed her to "get revenge" and see Liu Yumo's helpless expression.

Han Ning'er ignored the two "enemies" and turned to Chen Dong, "Brother Dong, how did your exam go today?"

Which subject are you referring to?

"Of course, it's the combined science subjects and English."

Chen Dong pretended to think for a moment, then deliberately frowned and said, "Both are difficult."

Han Ning'er was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but quickly recovered, comforting Chen Dong as if comforting herself.

"It's okay. The mock exam was indeed hellishly difficult, but it's good if you can improve. Besides, with yesterday's Chinese and math scores as a safety net, getting 300 points shouldn't be a problem."

This science exam was indeed very difficult, no less so than yesterday's math exam. Based on her previous scores of 260 or 270 in the science exam, this time she would probably only get 240 or 250 at most.

The English exam was also difficult, with a lot of new vocabulary. I estimate my score will be about 10 points lower than usual, and I don't know if I can get a total score of 650.

It's normal for Chen Dong to find it difficult; he can only say that the timing of the bet was really bad. Why did they have to choose the hellish difficulty of the mock exam? He just hopes that his total score can exceed 300.

"Three hundred points? Can you stop underestimating me like that?" Chen Dong slapped her head, a little angry at being looked down upon.

"Didn't you say it was difficult?" Han Ning'er glared at him angrily.

"It is very difficult. Don't you think it's difficult?" Chen Dong asked back.

"So what do you mean?"

Han Ning'er wanted to punch him, but you thought it was difficult. The way you frowned was the expression of someone who did poorly on a test. You even blamed me for underestimating you when I comforted you.

"Difficulty is one thing, but whether you can do it is another."

Chen Dong said smugly, "When I said it's difficult, I mean it's very difficult to get a perfect score, but getting over 280 in the combined science subjects shouldn't be a problem. As for English, I'll lose a few points on the essay, but getting 145 shouldn't be a problem."

"..."

The four of them suddenly stopped and stared blankly at Chen Dong.

"Brother Dong, do you want to hear what you're saying?" Jiang Lina asked, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Faced with a mock exam that was incredibly difficult, the student who ranked last in the entire grade boasted a score of 280 in the combined science section and 145 in English. Anyone unaware of the situation would have thought that being last was a positive result.

"Brother Dong, I feel like laughing, and even want to punch you."

She's such a show-off.

No, to be precise, he's a huge braggart. His confident demeanor is so smug and makes him really irritating.

"I want to beat him up too."

Han Ning'er completely agreed with Liu Yumo's words.

"Sister Han, really?" Liu Yumo's eyes lit up.

"Little Mozi, go!" Han Ning'er waved her hand.

"Understood."

Liu Yumo raised his leg and kicked Chen Dong while shouting "Ada!"

"Ye Zi, Lina, let's go together."

Han Ning'er wasn't idle either. She called on Ye Wanwan and Jiang Lina to join the attack. The latter followed along without hesitation, while Ye Wanwan stood there dumbfounded.

"Don't let the many bully the few! Ah, little Ye, come help your brother Dong! Don't forget I'm your boss!" Chen Dong shouted as he ran, calling for Ye Wanwan to come to his aid.

"Ye Zi, come help! Let's fight together!" Han Ning'er led the chase.

Ye Wanwan didn't make a move; she just smiled brightly from behind.

……

"Dong-ge, I want to eat braised pork ribs. There are vegetables in the fridge."

Back at the rented apartment, Han Ning'er pulled Ye Wanwan and Jiang Lina to sit on the sofa, turned on the TV to relax, and naturally left the cooking to Chen Dong.

"I won't do it," Chen Dong said, covering his left cheek.

"To do it or not?" Han Ning'er stood up.

"Let's put cooking aside for now. Who slapped me in the face just now? You know you shouldn't hit someone in the face, right? This handsome face of yours is almost ruined." Chen Dong was about to settle the score.

"I did it, you're not convinced? Let's keep practicing, we'll have four against one, or you can take on four." Han Ning'er stood with her hands on her hips, looking a bit like a delinquent from back in the day.

"Fine, you're something else. I can't afford to mess with you."

A good man doesn't argue with a woman.

"What are you laughing at? Come to the kitchen with me. You can't even cook. How are you going to woo girls in the future?" Chen Dong shouted angrily when he saw Liu Yumo smirking.

I might let Han Ning'er have her way, but do you think I'd let you have your way? I remember that kick you just now, it was really dirty.

"Why do you want to chase girls? Can't you live alone?" Liu Yumo asked innocently.

Chen Dong was unable to refute for a moment.

That makes a lot of sense.

Living life is about two people, and living life is about one person too. Let go of preconceived notions and worldly views; worldly conventions can't control me.
