"Okay!!" Lemon wanted to hug Mitsuki, but was forced back by Chihaya's eyes, so she had to change the person she hugged to Yanami.

"Wow, wow, Yanana, I can participate in club activities again!"

Mitsuki continued to look upwards and easily found Komari.

137th. Although the specific transcript has not come out yet, people who usually rank this high will definitely have no problem passing the exam as long as they are not biased in their subjects.

He also saw Tianai Star, number 86.

Successfully making it into the top 100 is not a disgrace to the status of a student union member.

Mitsuki originally thought that Yanami's score would be around 80th, but he searched for a long time and didn't see Yanami's name. He thought he missed it and kept looking back.

Until Chihaya in front of him pointed to a place higher up the leaderboard and said, "Yana~, you're number 21!"

what?

Mitsuki took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

21 bits?

He didn't know Yanami's original ranking, but Yanami joined Ukyo's after-school study group because she failed her exams. She probably ranked lower than Tian Aixing.

In just 14 days, the result jumped directly to 21st place?

Doesn’t this mean he went directly from a poor student to a top student?

Although the term "bad student" is not quite appropriate, her grades are not that bad, but 21st place is still scary.

Yanami in the crowd lifted her hair, her long azure hair reflecting the color of the sky. With the corners of her lips slightly raised, she enjoyed the admiring, surprised and jealous gazes around her, and enjoyed the spotlight-like focus that only top students were worthy of.

"Mikazuki-san, you seemed to have said a few days ago that Yanami's grades were not worthy of Ukyo." The voices of some people talking in front of the list reached Yanami's ears.

Mikazuki is a boy who sits in the front row of Yanami's class.

Now everyone in the class knew that he had been giving Yanami a hard time behind his back.

The same thing is happening in different small groups.

As soon as the results of the 21st place were released, the rumors that "fools are not worthy of wise men" that had been circulating on campus were successively dispelled.

Xiaoju tugged at the hem of Yanaijian's skirt and said gloomily, "You, you must have studied so hard before just to dispel this little, insignificant rumor, right?"

Yanai saw that she was silent.

"Tsk." Xiaoju felt very bored. The other party's pretentious aura was about to blind her eyes.

Yanami seemed to have a protagonist halo made of star dust, just like Karen.

After seeing these special effects that were as clear as those on 8K HDTV, Xiaoju subconsciously shifted her gaze to Himimiya Karen.

Her grades seemed to have declined, but Xiaoju didn't know how much exactly, but she didn't look as happy as usual. Caojie was saying something next to her, as if to comfort her, but they were too far away for Xiaoju to hear clearly.

All in all, the high-definition special effects on Yanami are now obviously better than those on Karen. She is shining all over. The only pity is that the "heroine" is shining alone, but the person who got the first place in the exam has disappeared.

......

The boning knife in his hand cuts the salmon into neat and smooth slices.

Ukyo placed it on a piece of expensive sliced ​​bread with the crust removed, accompanied by salad and a small amount of Korean spicy sauce, two slices of lettuce, a triangle of raw cut ham and a perfectly shaped fried egg without any burnt edges. The moment he closed the crust of the bread, a perfect breakfast was ready.

He took a bite of the breadcrumbs, then went to the computer and opened the report card sent to him by his homeroom teacher Xiaoba. He pressed ctrl+F (shortcut for precise search), typed in Yanami Anna, and saw her ranked third in the class and 21st in the grade.

"The exam was good."

Ukyo sent a message to Yanami.

About thirty seconds later, he typed another sentence...

"Want to stay over tonight?" (Entire paragraph deleted)

"After school this afternoon, I'm going to Ginza to watch Wild Robots. Do you want to come?" (Once again, the entire paragraph was deleted)

"How did the other exams go?" (deleted)

"What are you eating tonight?" (deleted)

"6:15 PM, come to the fourth floor of Ginza."

He thought there was nothing wrong with the tone of this article.

Getting 21st place on the test wasn't easy. Yanami must have studied hard in the past 14 days, hiding from everyone. She deserved a small reward, but watching a movie was a bit too ambiguous for Ukyo. He thought it was okay, but then he felt the suggestion was inappropriate. After quickly withdrawing it, he wrote again, "As a reward for your academic progress, do you want anything?"

"By the way, ask other people."

Unbeknownst to Ukyo, Yanami was particularly concerned with turning up the notification tone for sending messages.

She saw the message to come to Ginza at 6:15 pm, but didn't see which floor she was going to.

(PS: It’s the end of the month, I’m asking for your spare monthly tickets~)

Volume 126: Chapter 5 Let Him Do All His Life as a Coolie (k)

Why did Ukyo ask me to go to Ginza?

Did he change his plans at the last minute or did something else happen?

Yanami first asked everyone else what gifts they wanted.

Mitsuki and Chihaya were very polite and didn't feel comfortable asking for it. Lemon and the others couldn't think of anything they wanted for a moment, so they finally decided to let Ukyo treat them to a meal.

But it was different for Yanaijian.

She wrote to Youjing:

"My sword is too fragile, so I don't usually dare to use it. When I went to Beijing, I wanted to get a new sword. I heard that there are many hidden "supernatural shops" in the Beijing alleys, where you can buy famous swords used by famous Chinese ghost hunters."

The matter of eating was of no concern to her, she could always eat with Ukyo if she wanted to, but gifts were different.

The meaning of a "gift" to a person cannot be compared with that of a "meal".

........

...

Yanami got her transcript, but the specific results were no longer important, all she wanted was the ranking.

Xiaoju is a little biased in her studies. Chinese and history raise her overall ranking, but she actually failed in math, so she has to come to school to take a make-up exam during the holidays. In the end, she can't balance writing and studying.

Lemon and Xiaoju are both in trouble, and they both failed the math test mercilessly.

Failing a course is undoubtedly bad news, but the good news is that everyone's scores are generally low this year, and the impact of the class suspension is still very large for them. Otherwise, Mitsuki's estimation of the ranking list would not be wrong. According to past experience, it would be easy for the two of them to pass all the subjects with their scores.

The good news is that there are a lot of people who failed their courses this year, so they don’t have to face any strange feelings of inferiority when taking make-up classes.

Moreover, senior Fang Huyuan from the second year of high school also told them in the group that even in a good school like Shifu High School, there are many people who come to make up classes during the holidays. In addition, those who did not come to make up classes may have signed up for cram schools outside, which does not mean that they passed the exam. It is also normal to see someone you have never seen in the cram school in the examination room for make-up exams.

......

PM: 6:15 PM

Center Ginza.

Yanaijian waited at the door for a long time, but Ukyo never came.

But Central Ginza has four gates, east, west, south and north. Yana couldn't find where Ukyo was, so she sent him a message, but she didn't receive a reply. Ukyo would never miss important news, and his lack of reply could only mean one thing.

Going to Ginza is not important.

Ukyo didn't plan to watch a movie with Yanami. He felt that watching a relatively hardcore movie like "Wild Robots" with a girl would not have any good results. He would rather find a movie partner on the street.

Watching a movie alone is a very lonely act.

Yanami once saw a "Social Behavior Report of Loneliness" on YouTube. Watching movies alone ranked first on the list and was described as something that "only extremely lonely" people would do.

Yanaijian couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried. Ukyo came to Ginza just to watch a movie for him.

So, the two people did not meet during this trip to Ginza.

......

...

The next morning.

Toyohashi Port, on a cruise ship about to depart for Beijing.

Yanami stood on the deck and looked at the beach. It was her first time standing on the deck of a cruise ship and looking at the sea.

The feeling of standing in the middle of the ocean is different from standing on the beach on ordinary days.

The setting sun pours down on the sparkling sea like molten gold, dyeing the sky into a gorgeous painting. When you open your arms and feel the sea breeze, it's like being immersed in a watercolor painting far away from the hustle and bustle.

She didn't know where Ukyo got the ticket for this luxury cruise. Before the cruise departed, she took a quick look at the other ships at Toyohashi Port. No matter the size or number of floors, none of them were as big as the one they were on.

Ukyo was wearing a well-tailored white shirt today, with his sleeves casually rolled up, revealing his sturdy forearms, paired with casual trousers. In his hand, he held a clear round-mouthed glass filled with spherical ice carefully shaved by the bartender and a bottle of vodka that was definitely strong enough.

The sea breeze gently blew his black hair. Yanami felt that the sea water that hit their faces was a little frozen. The temperature on the sea surface was too low. Yanami felt that there should be some snow instead of ice at this time, so that Ukyo would have all the necessary elements.

Exposed muscles in winter, heavy snow, cold wind, and vodka, these four together make up the typical Russian male protagonist.

Although there was no heavy snow here, Yanami still felt that Ukyo was a little handsome at the moment.

Picking up the camera and taking a picture of his profile was just a subconscious action.

Yanami believes that Ukyo must know that he is handsome, and some of his "seemingly unconscious" cool behavior that he often performs may be 50% deliberate.

She turned her phone to take a selfie, changing the angle and still using the misplacement technique to frame both herself and Ukyo in the frame.

She didn't ask Ukyo if she wanted to take a picture with him, because the answer would most likely be no.

But even if she took more misplaced photos like this, Ukyo wouldn't say anything.

"This ship takes half a day and a night, so by the time we land in Beijing on Christmas Day, it will probably be noon tomorrow. To save time, I booked an express flight. It only takes an hour and a half to fly from Jiaodong Airport to Capital Airport, but the normal flight time is about two hours and twenty minutes. The first time you take an express flight, you might get dizzy and have earaches, but they'll be much better after you land."

Ukyo doesn't mind Yanami taking pictures of him, or rather, he cared a lot at first, but after taking so many pictures, he no longer cared. He is not a secret party now, so it doesn't matter how many pictures he leaves in the world.

He didn't like taking photos before, but it was just the instinct of most boys.

night.

There is a seafood buffet on the -2 floor of the cabin.

There are plenty of king crabs here. Yanami took four. Ukyo told her that there are special tools for opening the shells of king crabs, or you can ask the waiter to help.

But Yanami was like a country bumpkin, using her fingernails and front teeth to open the king crab shell. When she bit the crab shell with her teeth, Ukyo's eyelids twitched. He was afraid that Yanami would break his back teeth.

"Do you know the main production areas of king crabs?" Ukyo hoped Yanami would eat slowly, so he took the initiative to find a topic when she was holding the king crab and chewing it.

"I don't know." Yanaijian asked back, "I've never understood this. Instead of asking me, why don't you just tell me directly? If I asked you to name a few brands of sanitary napkins, you definitely wouldn't be able to name them, right?"

Ukyo: "Whisper, Sophie, Seventh Dimension."

Yanami: “…”

......

A day and a half later.

Beijing Capital Opera House.

Yanami vomited in the toilet for five minutes.

The express flight was indeed very uncomfortable, but Youjing had an appointment for an auction that would start at 12 noon today at the Beijing Capital Opera House. Before she could come and take a good look at the scenery of a foreign country, she was pulled here by Youjing in the Maybach he rented from the car dealership.

She only had time to glance at the Christmas tree in the Capital Airport and didn't even remember to change her clothes.

Beijing...is a lot colder than Toyohashi.

Ukyo told her that he had been here before.

But he was able to drive from the dealership to the opera house without using a navigation system. It was hard to imagine that a guy who had traveled to Beijing before would be so familiar with the local road conditions.

"Take a look at the auction list." Ukyo handed Yanami a very exquisite hardcover booklet with gold edges. In the center was printed a silver coiled dragon in a very Chinese style.

The notes on the auction sheet were only in Chinese and English, and Yanami could only barely understand them, but that didn't matter because Ukyo would explain them to him -

"We are here for the Great Xia Dragon Bird, but not the real one. We are after the textile forged by Zhang Yajiu, the forging master of the Tang Dynasty."

"The original Great Xia Dragon Sparrow sword originated from the Sixteen Kingdoms period and was forged by the Xia king or Helian Bobo. This sword is unique in its ring-shaped design, carved with dragon and sparrow patterns. The sword is three feet and nine inches long, and the back is engraved with inscriptions such as "Ancient Sharp Weapon" and "Wu Chu Zhan Lu..."

Yana was startled when she saw this.

She hadn't expected Ukyo to bring her to a place like this to buy a knife.

"How do you know so much?"
