The atmosphere in the examination hall was somewhat restless, with frequent mentions of traditional Chinese arts.

"Excuse me, can I borrow an eraser?"

A slightly seductive male voice suddenly came from behind, which was unpleasant to the ear.

Lin Mo turned around and saw that, damn it, a guy below her was actually borrowing an eraser from Li Qingran.

"If there's no second piece, could you cut me in half?"

Li Qingran frowned, looking at her round Pikachu eraser, her little face icy cold, and she leaned forward slightly towards Lin Mo.

"I can give you a pen engraved with my name, as an exchange, and maybe we can become friends..."

Just as the boy handed over a pen, about to place it on Li Qingran's desk, Lin Mo suddenly snatched it away.

"you..."

"Wu Di, what's the name of the memorial?" Lin Mo picked up the pen, glanced at it, and tossed it back to the seemingly respectable but actually incredibly arrogant boy.

Asking someone to borrow an eraser and asking for half of it is already a favor, but then they give you a gift... that's absolutely idiotic.

"Excuse me, I don't think I've spoken to you before..." Wu Di looked at him with an official tone, but before he could finish his sentence...

Lin Mo tossed the eraser onto his desk like it was trash.

"Here, didn't you want an eraser? Here, take mine."

Wu Di was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the tattered eraser, unsure of what to do.

He had been observing the girl next to him for a long time, from morning until now, and she was absolutely stunning.

He imagined that this kind of girl must be the lonely, isolated type, someone others would only dare to look up to, but Wu Di felt he was different; he could soften their hearts with his personal charm...

He won the favor of the aloof school beauty, gaining the envy of countless others...

Why did it end so soon after I started fantasizing?

"Ranbao, I'm out of erasers, can you give me some of yours?"

Wu Di was still pondering what was wrong when he suddenly saw the roguish-looking boy from before turn around and strike up a conversation.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Haha, so he's a competitor. He gave him the eraser just to show off. Even Wu Di couldn't do that. This guy is obviously not a good student, how could he possibly do that...?

And calling someone "Bao" right after meeting them is really impolite. When you borrow something from someone, you should reciprocate like this; only through mutual exchange can things continue...

But what happened next completely surprised him...

"Oh."

Li Qingran responded and immediately took out a ruler, rubbing it back and forth on the Pikachu eraser.

Pikachu willingly allowed itself to be sawn into two pieces, one large and one small. The girl handed the larger eraser to Lin Mo without even thinking...

"I want the smaller one," Lin Mo said, picking it out. "The smaller one is easier to erase on the answer sheet."

"Ah."

Li Qingran nodded and gave him another one.

Wu Di, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. Was it really that simple?

Something's not right... What went wrong? He started daydreaming again... This can't possibly be real...

"The listening test is officially starting!"

"The first question..."

The electronic voice of the English listening exercise shattered the students' restlessness, forcing everyone into a state of focused concentration.

Time flew by, and after Li Hua finished writing the letter to his foreign friend, the students breathed a sigh of relief as the announcement came that all papers were being collected. The teaching building immediately erupted in noise.

The end of the opening exams signifies the temporary end of the most painful transitional phase of senior year. What follows is round after round of review, interspersed with events like sports meets, New Year's Eve parties, coming-of-age ceremonies, a short winter break, 100-day countdown rallies, and countless joint exams...

Until the college entrance examination, which symbolizes the end of youth.

Li Qingran listened to the noise outside the window, completely ignoring their conversation about questions and grades.

All she cared about was when Lin Mo would take her out to eat, since she was hungry.

The girl tidied up her stationery, sat obediently, and stared straight ahead at the boy's back.

Lin Mo glanced outside and, not seeing any dangerous individuals like Jiang Wanfeng or Hu Yu'en, smiled at Li Qingran.

"Let's go."

"If you encounter people like that again, ignore them and come to me immediately."

"Okay." The girl followed behind him, taking a few quick steps to catch up and walk side by side, ignoring the stares coming from the stairwell.

"Lin Mo, is the eraser working?"

"It doesn't smell as good as yours."

"Well?"

"Lin Mo, what do you want to eat?"

"Evening self-study was delayed, so we sneaked home for a meal."

"Ok!"

The moment she heard the word "home," the girl's eyes lit up like stars.

...

The evening self-study session after the exams is practically nonexistent. Given the efficiency of the senior high school teachers, the results for the first day's Chinese and math exams will be released that evening. Waiting for the results always causes anxiety and unease.

The answer key has been distributed, and many students who knew they had done poorly were too afraid to check their answers, while those who did well were discussing it loudly.

Li Huowang had gone to the next class to check the answers long ago, and his arrogant laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Hahaha, damn it, I'll crush you, you fat pig, this time!"

"Wangzi, don't be so smug. Don't you have any idea how bad you are at humanities?" P-chan retorted.

"Damn, you're good at humanities?!"

"I took the Japanese exam, Bro, have you forgotten?"

"You're really cunning, even in Genshin Impact you're doing Japanese-style sex! Rarely seen!"

"Ou Xiu Ji Sa Ma~"

"Ugh! Ugh..." A series of dry heaving sounds.

In the corner of the classroom, Chen Yajie listened to the boys' playful banter, a gentle smile on her face.

Normally, if she heard people discussing exam scores or questions, she would definitely feel very upset.

Because she's sure she won't do well on the tests, and she'll be terrified of finding out where she went wrong...

But this time was different. With Lin Mo's help, she did much better on the test than before.

Picking up the answer key and carefully checking each question, the girl's smile grew even sweeter and more confident.

She's always been good at humanities, and now that she's improved in science, she'll make great progress.

When the results come out tomorrow, I can take the report card and tell Lin Mo that I haven't let him down—which will save him some trouble!

When I get home, I can make my mom very happy.

Huh? Why did I think of Lin Mo first...? Has she become unfilial...?

As I was thinking this, a shadow suddenly fell over the desktop.

"Ya Jie?"

Chen Yajie was taken aback, and looked up.

Okay, that's big... no, it's class monitor, I'm sorry, class monitor!

Hu Yu'en smiled sweetly as well, wondering why this usually timid and socially awkward girl was smiling so happily today.

Seeing this made her feel a surge of maternal instinct; she wanted to hug him and rub him.

"Class monitor, what's wrong?" Chen Yajie asked timidly.

"Oh, Professor Ni needs to speak with us. Would you like to come to her office with me?"

"Ah? Okay, the teacher wanted to talk to me... to us..." Chen Yajie stood up, stammering.

"Let's go then~"

The two went to the office one after the other, each with their own thoughts.

Chen Yajie thought to herself, "Wow, the class monitor is so beautiful! She's a truly sunny and generous girl... No wonder all the boys admire her."

Hu Yu'en thought that Chen Yajie's timid appearance was so cute. Did all boys like this type?

Would Lin Mo like it too...?

As she reached the office door, the girl suddenly stopped. She remembered what Lin Mo had told her the night before—that he had found her a roommate.

Today, Teacher Ni asked her to bring Chen Yajie along...

A sense of unease and anxiety suddenly arose. Why Chen Yajie? Was Lin Mo subtly hinting at something to her?

"Come in," came the teacher's voice from the office, forcing her to stop her train of thought.

"Hello, teacher~"

"Ahem, hello everyone, um... Ya Jie, your math score has improved a lot this time..."

"I'll try my best to get the Most Improved Person award later."

Chen Yajie was stunned and didn't react. Why was it her Chinese teacher talking to her about her math score... even though Ms. Ni was her homeroom teacher.

"Oh, thank you, teacher!"

"I heard you don't get along very well with your roommates..."

When the teacher mentioned the problem she was facing, Chen Yajie was stunned for a moment, thinking she was about to be criticized. Her face fell, and she looked anxious and uneasy, about to apologize...

"So the school has decided to change your dormitory."

"Eh?"

"You'll share a new dorm room with Yu'en."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Chen Yajie's pretty face was full of disbelief. She looked at the teacher, then at Hu Yu'en.

"Ya Jie, please guide me!"

"Yes, yes, please give me your guidance..." Chen Yajie replied woodenly.

"And Yu'en, here are the grade sheets for both classes. Go and distribute them."

The two walked out of the office. Chen Yajie was in a daze, as if something important had happened to her, but she didn't understand anything.

Is it because heaven is looking out for her?

"Ya Jie, do you know Lin Mo?"

Suddenly, Hu Yu'en, who was in front, turned around and smiled, her hand tightly clenching the report card in her palm.

"I know him, he's a really nice person~" Chen Yajie's face lit up immediately when Lin Mo was mentioned.

"Are you familiar?"

"Ah, why are you asking that..."

"Because it was Lin Mo who suggested it to the teacher, I applied for accommodation, and Lin Mo suggested that you come and live with me."

Hu Yu'en spoke as if it were unintentional. She heard the girl's footsteps behind her disappear, and a bitter smile touched her lips.

As expected... something fishy is going on.

Looking back, Chen Yajie stood ramrod straight like a wooden statue, her eyes vacant.

"What's wrong, Ya Jie?"

Hu Yu'en waved her hand in front of the girl's eyes; those were such beautiful peach blossom eyes...

"It's nothing!" Chen Yajie exclaimed in surprise, snapping out of her daze.

"It's alright, class monitor. Hmm... maybe, maybe Lin Mo just mentioned it casually..."
