Chapter 6, A First Date That Is Not the First Time One Falls in Love

Oh, this sentence sounds so much like a line from a Korean drama where the male lead says something romantic to the female lead

My parents will definitely punish me when they see my report card by canceling my late-night snacks for a week

Bai Shengqi let out a soft hum, which could be considered a response to my earlier question. He was too busy to pay attention to me, as he continued to write diligently.

Lin Chen's somewhat disappointed tone made me feel both guilty and unwilling. Thinking of my "top student plan," I resolutely said to Lin Chen: "I will definitely help you pass the exam, but not by stealing the test papers."

There was no way out; I still gritted my teeth and answered the phone. Sure enough, as soon as I brought it close to my ear, I heard Lin Chen's cold voice: "Su Ruonuan, I remember someone said they would hand the exam paper to me the next day. Today is already the third day; may I ask where the exam paper is?"

What is the matter

He sighed and then asked me, "Xiao Nuan, is this the kind of person I am in your heart?"

Lin Chen sighed, looking utterly helpless

Bai Shengqi, please do not ignore me

I cannot quite articulate it, but I always feel that he is somewhat different from before

Rival? Is it really that serious?

Just now ... ... Hasn't Bai Shengqi already left?

"Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental. Don't get too happy too soon; now that the notes are organized, you should take a look at them as a form of review. Don't just worry about others' exams; in my opinion, if you don't study properly, your grades will also be a problem." Bai Shengqi stood up from the chair, feeling a bit unsteady after sitting for too long. I looked up at the clock on the wall and realized it was already 7 PM; it turned out Bai Shengqi had spent a full 7 hours helping me organize my notes.

I took the notebook with a sense of skepticism, and upon opening it, I was immediately struck by Bai Shengqi's seriousness: the pages were filled with writing, with different subjects highlighted in various colors, including tables, images, and explanations. The handwriting was clear and the organization was coherent, leaving me deeply moved.

Could it be that ... ... you feel that the notes are not well done

Su Ruonuan, come, come, come, tell me what this word means

I suddenly realized that his attitude is the same as Lin Chen's when he helped my parents reconcile that day; both did good deeds yet were unwilling to be praised by others. Are all angels like this

"No, what’s wrong?" I feigned indifference, munching on the oat cookie in my hand, casually inquiring, while in my heart, a grand Hollywood drama had already unfolded.

When I picked up the pen, I felt as if I were possessed— the pen seemed to move on its own, completing the exam paper swiftly without me having to exert any effort...! ... This is truly amazing!

The young man before me is the angel who has helped me; before I entered high school, when my family was on the brink of collapse, it was his presence that allowed me to become a child with a home

I spent a great deal of effort to get close to him, and finally one day, he was moved by me. He was willing to trust me, invited me to dinner, took me to see a movie, no longer looking at me with a cold glare, but instead gazing at me with deep affection

In order to show my importance, I took leave and returned home early, wanting to dress up nicely for myself. It was only then that I realized that for someone like me who has never been in a relationship, dating is truly a troublesome affair

What is this thing? How am I supposed to know the surface area of this strange shape? Besides, I've never seen anything like this in real life; what is the use of calculating the surface area?

It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have time after school tonight. I did quite well on this month's exam, and I noticed you did well too. How about I treat you to a movie? It will be both a celebration for you and a way for me to thank you for the notes you gave me.

In astonishment, I turned to look at the others

As for him, it would be good enough if he doesn't tease you, and yet he still thanks you

Please do not be angry; is it not sufficient for me to offer you my sincere apologies?

When I pressed the doorbell, the person who came out to open the door was actually the security captain who had caught me and Bai Shengqi that day, and who had his memory erased by Bai Shengqi. Upon seeing him, my legs went weak, fearing that he would recognize me

"Su Ruonuan, you are drooling..." Just as I was immersed in the halo of looking down on the world, suddenly, I was pushed. I groggily opened my eyes and found Bai Shengqi leaning in front of me, with a look of disdain as he handed me a piece of paper.

Mother's tears and father's saliva, it is evident that they will surely drown me!

My heart began to race uncontrollably, and I even forgot to continue eating the sushi in my hand

Ah? What kind of person? I am still worried about his safety, yet he is thinking about what kind of person he is in my heart—if not a fool, then what?

In the past, whenever I heard Bai Shengqi making fun of me, I would immediately jump out to refute him. However, today I have been mentally exhausted from studying all morning and have become numb. Moreover, being in a quiet library, I chose not to pay him any further attention, but instead struggled to continue reading.

Xiao Nuan, to be honest, I was very shocked when I saw the notes. It is clear that you must have put a lot of thought into them. I am very sorry for misunderstanding you before, thinking that you approached me with ulterior motives. However, now that I see how sincerely you have done all this for me, I feel your genuine intentions. Thank you. Please feel free to order whatever you want, do not hold back!

Is it really organized? This guy won't deceive me, will he

She is quite intelligent Lin Chen answered simply I think perhaps none of us can answer this question

He smiled gently at me, patted my head, as if everything that had just happened was forgotten. He still spoke to me softly, saying: "Xiao Nuan, I scared you just now, didn't I?"

Wow

Furthermore, after you made me take the durian pill, I was not only looked down upon by the cleaning lady at school, but I also had to endure my own smell at home for an entire day

Seeing that my efforts to appease him were in vain, I became somewhat angry. I released his hand and shouted at him: "What makes you so special? I have apologized to you like this, and you are still not satisfied? What do you want?"

As I shouted, I also glanced at the bodyguards around me. Seeing me charge forward, they stepped back slightly, which eased my heart.

This is not right, how could these two people be together

I casually tossed the math book aside and took out an English book; this should be fine, right

That sounds great, I will have the driver take me to the school gate after class, you can just come over directly

"Xiao Nuan, why do I always feel that something is off with you today?" Lin Chen noticed that I had once again fallen into my own thoughts and began to feel a bit unhappy.

Su Ruonuan, this class is very important, why are you drawing such ugly comics in class

I can hardly believe my eyes; throughout all the exams I have taken since childhood, I have never felt so confident and assured as I do now

But why do I keep recalling his appearance in my mind like this

I have been planning to spend several days in the library for it... Regardless of this, considering that I have accompanied Shengqi in the library for several hours, please do not be too disdainful of this notebook

Today is the long-awaited first date with Lin Chen. From now on, do not think about unhappy things; enjoying this moment is what matters most

I managed to gain admission to Rainbow Academy through a last-minute effort, but why has this sudden drive suddenly failed me? Clearly, I also possess the potential of a top student, yet after entering Rainbow Academy, I became complacent, and it seems that my knowledge has taken flight, making it impossible to retrieve now.

What is going on! A big boy is angry with a little girl, and he is so self-righteous about it! Moreover, I didn't say anything wrong. I used to speak in the same tone, so why is he particularly angry today?

The road home is short, just a few minutes away. When I got out of the car, Lin Chen tugged at my sleeve and cautiously asked me: "Are you happy today?"

There was a bit of an issue when attempting to steal the exam papers, so they cannot be delivered to you on time

How can that be? It is precisely because of this matter that I decided to apply to Rainbow Academy, to come here to find you. The truth is, I just wanted to have an opportunity to thank you in person. So... I will always keep this in my heart

Good night, Lin Chen

After graduating from university, my sister resolutely broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years and became the mistress of a 50-year-old man, from then on being kept in a sheltered life

Once again, he took me out from Lin Chen's house, where I was working hard. Seeing that I was exhausted after a long day, he walked with me on the deserted streets late at night.

I never expected that he, who usually seems so invincible, would care so much about my feelings. My heart suddenly melted, and I smiled at him, saying: "I am very happy, I am really happy today. Thank you."

His figure trembled, and after a few seconds, he continued to walk away without looking back

As for whether this person is interesting or easy to converse with, perhaps he does not find it important

"Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan, didn't you go to check the results?" my deskmate, the "gossip queen," asked me excitedly

Isn't Bai Shengqi the one who dislikes Lin Chen the most

Ah?

Bai Shengqi is angry

Su Ruonuan

Thank you

Having made up my mind, I set out for the library. Since it had just opened, there were hardly any people in the library. I chose a seat by the window and sat down, not daring to waste a single minute, rummaging through that enormous backpack for my textbooks.

"Hello, Xiaonuan." Lin Chen's voice sounded very cheerful, completely different from the indifference of Bai Shengqi just now, which lifted my spirits significantly

Seeing Shengqi becoming increasingly agitated and about to punch Lin Chen, I quickly rushed in between them and stood in front of Lin Chen to stop Shengqi from making a move: "Bai Shengqi, what are you doing?"

The results are filled with various letters, making it completely incomprehensible! Besides, why should I learn English? After all, I won't be going abroad anytime soon

"Sheng Qi." As I called his name, I prepared to chase after him, but before I could take a step, Lin Chen rushed over and grabbed my hand

Good night, Xiao Nuan

He listened to my words, did not respond immediately, but instead jumped back onto the rooftop from the railing, standing there with both hands resting on the railing, raising his head to look at me, who was still sitting high above: "Xiao Nuan, may I ask you a question?"

Don't ask me anymore! I don't know! My voice couldn't help but rise, and the person possessed by Tang Seng kept buzzing and chanting incessantly; anyone would explode in such a situation

Indeed, I think I will work a bit harder today, study more in the library, organize all my notes, and give them to Lin Chen before the exam; it might help him

Su Ruonuan, I was unable to complete the experience report again today because of you. You'd better not trouble me with so many matters next time!" Bai Shengqi stood at the library entrance, as if suddenly recalling something, turned back to remind me.

Just a moment ago, Bai Shengqi, who had a face full of anger, suddenly lost all expression after hearing these words. His eyes dimmed unexpectedly, and a hollow look appeared on his face. He straightened his clothes and hair, which had been tousled by the wind, and left the rooftop without looking back, even forgetting to take the experience report that was placed beside him.

Bai Shengqi's face finally showed an expression, but it had completely turned to indifference. He turned to the side and walked past me, saying in a very soft yet clear voice: "I really am nothing special, so please keep your distance from me in the future"

He must be troubled again by the matter of the experience report

Recently, I have been too tired from reading and have not had time to eat properly I said intermittently while chewing the food in my mouth

Oh my goodness

Why does it seem like I have seen all the questions? And it feels like I can solve them all?

So, does this count as a date

I do not know why, but I suddenly felt my heartbeat slow down a beat. My sixth sense tells me that something seems to be slowly disappearing with his departure

It has happened.

It seems that Bai Shengqi's comment about my lack of effort and poor intellect is not merely an attempt to criticize me... but rather holds some truth.

"Shengqi?" I called his name softly

Su Ruonuan

I glanced towards the end of the road, yearning to catch a glimpse of Shengqi's silhouette, which had long since vanished. However, after searching all around, I could not find him and had no choice but to follow Lin Chen, who was urging me, onto the car, heading to the cinema

The third? Isn't it still the penultimate?

Do I need to say it a second time? Lin Chen's expression, as cold as an iceberg, reappeared

The image of Sheng Qi's departing figure appears before my eyes, and that sense of disappointment and indifference, is it all because of me?

I stole a glance at him and found that he was truly focused on reading and taking notes with his head down. His writing was swift, with elegant, beautiful, and neat characters, and in no time, he had filled an entire page.

Just when I was feeling quite pleased, the phone on the table suddenly rang incessantly. I took a look—it was Lin Chen's number.

You always say that I am foolish, but how come you do not realize that with Lin Chen's family background, he would definitely be accompanied by bodyguards when going out. How could you possibly be a match for those well-trained bodyguards?

After much deliberation, I finally decided to wear the little dress that my father bought for me for my birthday this year. Looking at the clock, I realized there was still half an hour before our meeting, so I hurried out the door to head to the school gate

Do you now think that you are quite remarkable

The notes you helped me with are truly perfect! After I gave them to Lin Chen, he looked at them for a long time and expressed his gratitude to me.

Thank you, if it weren't for your help with my notes, I wouldn't have achieved this score. I smiled and patted Bai Shengqi on the shoulder, and he glanced at me and said: There is no need for thanks.

Please, let the top student be a top student, but do not flaunt your intelligence in front of me, a poor student, alright? Even poor students have their dignity

Having spoken, he did not even turn his head, but crossed the road and vanished at the other end of the bustling thoroughfare

But you took away the invisibility cloak, leaving me alone to endure the stench! Moreover, you always criticize me, calling me stupid and foolish. Do you know how much this hurts my self-esteem?" Speaking of all the misdeeds of Bai Shengqi, I simply cannot stop; in the end, even Bai Shengqi was left bewildered.

What is it actually? I also opened the menu, wow, there are really so many delicious dishes, just looking at them makes one drool. Wow, this looks so good! This one too... Ah, I have been wanting to eat this for a long time...

The story concludes with the elder sister and the cobbler living a life of hardship, yet they always go out to the street at night to gaze at the stars after finishing work. Meanwhile, the younger sister resides in a three-story detached villa, endlessly waiting for the man who never returns.

He really thanked me and even invited me to dinner

Seeing his unusual expression and tone, I suddenly felt a strange sensation in my heart, but I chose to automatically ignore it and continued to smile as I said, "Do you really want to know?"

I was afraid that I was experiencing hallucinations, so I rubbed my eyes vigorously

After I said so many hurtful things to him

It seems that Bai Shengqi's skill in erasing memories is truly masterful, leaving no impression whatsoever. I silently gave him a thumbs up in my heart

For the first time, holding a banner and raising a loudspeaker to confess to him in front of so many girls

3

Hahaha, you really have quite the audacity. You must not let me down this time; if I fail the exam, it will all be your fault. At that time... you will have to bear the consequences. Lin Chen surprisingly did not pursue the matter of stealing the exam papers too much, but instead was very concerned about me organizing my notes. This is simply waiting to see me make a fool of myself.

What are you saying? I can hardly believe my ears

It is best to finish filling it out quickly and leave, do not come to observe a poor student studying

Lin Chen's world is very simple; he has a car and a house, and lives a good life. In his view, giving up a comfortable living condition to choose a life of poverty is meaningless and even foolish.

When Bai Shengqi mentioned Lin Chen, I felt a bit embarrassed and said with a flushed face: "Lin Chen is different; he is my benefactor"

The next day was the weekend, and I went to Lin Chen's house early in the morning with my notebook

I studied hard to gain admission to Rainbow Academy for him, joined the school newspaper to become a reporter for him, and repeatedly sought out Chen Letian until I finally secured the opportunity to interview him

He didn't even glance at it, but crumpled the transcript into a small ball and tossed it aside: "I told you long ago that I am the best in the heavenly realm; these grades are nothing to me, it is you who do not believe."

Wow, Bo Shengqi, I didn't expect you to actually have some skills. I really couldn't tell that you are a top student.

I happily received the report card from the class monitor and then cheerfully went to find Bai Shengqi

Well, it looks quite nice, what do you think

Oh?

I simultaneously despised them while heavily marking a red circle on the calendar

I angrily prepared to take my pen, but where is my pen?

Lin Chen stopped the butler and said, "You can go back now; it's better if I handle this myself." After saying that, he smiled at me and went to buy two large boxes of popcorn, handing them to me.

Hello, are your demands too high?

I have been in the library for two or three hours, yet I find that my pen is missing, and the frustration within me keeps rising. I can only search the entire table, flipping through the Chinese textbook, then the math book, until the entire table is in disarray with books and papers, but I still cannot find the pen

"Do you still have exams in the heavenly realm?" I widened my eyes, preventing his hand from unconsciously retracting.

Fortunately, there is still Lin Chen. I comforted myself this way and quickly returned the call

What is good about walking on the road at midnight? It is both cold and dark. If you enjoy the city at night, why not have a driver take you out for a drive? Sitting in a sports car and looking out the window is so much better

"Who asked you? I just wanted to tell you that it's all organized, hurry up and take it!" Bai Shengqi rubbed his eyes and handed me the thick notebook.

After I finished speaking, Bai Shengqi's face darkened, and he quickly asked me: "Then why are you still friends with me?"

I proudly tossed my hair to indicate that it was a piece of cake, but inside I was already overjoyed, almost wanting to run a few laps around the playground. Hahaha, it turns out that being a top student, especially a good-looking and adorable one, feels so exhilarating!

As I leaned in for a closer look, I indeed found it was Bai Shengqi, and beside him stood Lin Chen

Why does it sound like a lullaby? Why do I feel like I see Grandpa Zhou Gong smiling at me?

Bai Shengqi is pulling his hair, scratching his ears and cheeks, and his face has turned red with anxiety

Well, Chinese language is important and relatively easy to score well in, so let's review Chinese first

He accuses me of being immature, yet he himself is the one who is truly childish

Just fill it in

The first time I rushed into a boy's bathroom, I saw him half-naked in the bath.

But Lin Chen ignored my question and waved the movie ticket in his hand, saying, "The movie is about to start, let's hurry up."

This is simply incomparable, isn't it? Lin Chen is an angel who enjoys helping others, while you are just a mischievous scoundrel who knows only how to tease people. How can the two of you be the same? In fact, I said this to jokingly provoke Bai Shengqi and to dampen his spirits, but as soon as the words left my mouth, I realized—

Then why was I so restless during our first date? I was even constantly thinking about another person

After I finished speaking, Lin Chen, who was looking at the menu, suddenly stopped and looked at me with some confusion: "You always say that I should be thanked, but... what have I done?"

How about this, I will buy you some delicious food, one box of fries and one box of yogurt, how does that sound? Not enough? Then how about two boxes?

4

No, no, no, how could Lin Chen possibly lie? He is an angel who delights in helping others, it must be that Bai Shengqi has misunderstood him. Bai Shengqi is the kind of person who enjoys misunderstanding others and refuses to listen to explanations

After hanging up the phone, I noticed that several girls had gathered around me, pretending to pass by casually as soon as they saw me end the call

Su Ruonuan

Su Ruonuan, you may question me, but you cannot question my achievements! You can ask Liuchuan, in the Heavenly Realm, when has Bai Shengqi not been the top scorer in any exam!

"It's nothing, I might just be a bit tired. Please don't be upset." After saying this, I smiled at Lin Chen.

Deception? Deceive her? Who has been deceived?

"Thank you for your hard work, I will definitely treat you well in the future," Lin Chen said to me with a serious expression, casually reaching out to touch my hair

Bai Shengqi's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, as if it were...

1

"Xiao Nuan, you must be too tired. How about we leave? I will take you home," Lin Chen said thoughtfully as he handed me his coat, which I took but did not put on.

I ran breathlessly to him, and to prove that I had been making a great effort to catch up, I even intensified my breathing, sounding like a marathon runner who had just finished the race

Sigh ... ...

I could not care less about the salmon still unfinished in my mouth, as my mind plunged into a state of chaos

Although my usual grades are not good, I have never ranked last in my exams

I will definitely treat you well in the future

If it weren't for you making me small, would I even need you to save me? And that's not all, that night I couldn't even climb onto the bed, I ended up sleeping in the soap dish at my house for the whole night

It is too much, so much that I cannot even remember it clearly

Of course, you haven't forgotten everything, have you

"Su Ruonuan, are you born in the Year of the Ox?" As she spoke, Sheng Qi took out a pen and drew a large ox on my notebook

I will help you organize it!" Bai Shengqi shook off my hand and continued to take notes

I wanted to get a little closer to hear what the two people were arguing about, when suddenly I saw Shengqi, filled with anger, rush forward in a swift motion, preparing to grab Lin Chen

Lin Chen still had a furrowed brow: "Xiao Nuan, is what you said true? I always thought that, like those girls, you had made up a random excuse to get close to me..."

In the examination room, the invigilator, wearing glasses, sternly addressed us: "Dear students, the supervision during this monthly exam is very strict. Please monitor each other, refrain from cheating, and focus on doing the questions well"

Sure, that's fine

Just as I was feeling anxious, he put down his notebook, stood up from the sofa, walked in front of me, and asked, "Did you do this yourself?"

The person standing next to the car, why do they look so much like Bai Shengqi

What about Nan Linchen

Ding ling ling ... ...

"What do you feel for me now?" Bai Shengqi asked, but her eyes unconsciously drifted elsewhere

My voice was indeed too loud, and as soon as I finished speaking, the entire class turned to look at me and Bai Shengqi. Several girls even pointed and whispered, though I could not tell what they were discussing.

No, no, no, it is actually I who should be thanking you. What I have done is nothing compared to what you have accomplished

As I flipped through the pages, I felt a sense of guilt: how much effort must Bai Shengqi have expended to compile such a set of notes! Alas, it seems that this time, I have caused him quite a significant inconvenience again

In this way, as I spoke incessantly, Lin Chen raised the menu high, covering his face, appearing quite embarrassed.

Because they are both foolish and stubborn

What clothes should I wear

Salmon, Arctic surf clam, eel sushi, tempura, sukiyaki ... I looked at the table full of Japanese cuisine and couldn't stop eating

However, when I shifted my gaze back to Shengqi, I found that she wore the same expression as when we argued in the classroom today, cold and disappointed

"Hello, hello, you misunderstood me." I followed him to try to explain.

Completed

Bai Shengqi, you fool

Therefore, I am now ready to head straight to the library

"Did you just... call it wrong?" Lin Chen asked me

"After all is said and done, it all comes down to Lin Chen. So tell me, between Lin Chen and me, who is more important?" Bai Shengqi actually asked me such a question, and he stared at me with his beautiful eyes, as if this answer was very important to him

He helplessly waved his hand to signal me to stop and said, "Have I always been this kind of devilish image in your heart?"

"Then what about my younger sister? Is she happy?" I asked Lin Chen

Isn't this what I have been dreaming of?

After listening to my response, Lin Chen remained silent for a while. He looked at me, his eyes revealing a hint of regret. He rubbed his hair, pursed his lips, and after a long pause, finally awkwardly said, "Su Ruonuan, thank you."

Of course, I have long regarded you, Rukawa, and Mili as my best friends at school

Ah

Hearing him say that, I suddenly felt as if my entire body was filled with blood and about to explode. In the past, even when the two of us had done so many foolish things together, not even the stench of durian wafting between us had prompted such serious words.

Indeed, the movie is about to start. Once the movie begins, my date with Lin Chen will commence

Bagua Woman

Oh?

Watching his figure gradually recede, I did not chase after him, but instead responded loudly, "This is what you said."

After listening to my words, Bai Shengqi couldn't help but raise his voice, appearing to stand up for me: "Su Ruonuan, are you stupid? Does Lin Chen still need your help?"

The usually composed butler rarely displayed a look of confusion similar to mine; however, after a second, he returned to his usual demeanor, even remembering to gentlemanly open the rear door for me as I was about to get into the car

I see, then I will take you back first. After saying this, he called the driver over

Fortunately, I managed to intervene before Bai Shengqi took action, thus the bodyguards had no reason to strike him.

I lay on the table, feeling undeniably sad and anxious inside, yet due to waking up too early in the morning, I unexpectedly dozed off in a daze

"Um, I apologize, I was a bit distracted just now." I stared at the person on the screen, not daring to meet Lin Chen's eyes

Ah

Why do you say that

How long did it take you to make such a notebook

Watching the two sisters struggle endlessly in the whirlpool of love, I suddenly found it hard to hold back my tears, while Lin Chen beside me watched intently, and I quietly wiped my tears with my sleeve again and again

Thinking about how stubborn Bai Shengqi was this afternoon, being angry with me and refusing to accept my apology, I feel very angry

"Hello, hello, hello, what are you doing?" I quickly stopped him, as this was something I had specially bought for Lin Chen to take notes with, one of a kind, extremely precious

You're welcome

However, a genius also relies on diligence. This time, I will definitely impress you with my own abilities

7 hours

Did you not see me looking for a pen! I couldn't help but say it in a bad tone

How wonderful

Jeans? They seem too childish

Lin Chen's expression was somewhat awkward: "Actually, it's nothing much, you don't need to take it to heart. Now that I know you genuinely want to be friends with me, that's enough."

I turned my head to look at the person beside me, with a handsome profile, a high nose bridge, long eyelashes, and adorable dimples. Who else could it be but Bai Shengqi?

Lin Chen, you have truly underestimated me

As I leaned in closer, I discovered that they seemed to be arguing. I strained to listen and heard Bai Shengqi speaking to Lin Chen with great agitation, saying things like "Do not deceive her!" and "This is deceitful behavior!"

Again calling me childish! This tsundere, would it kill her to compliment me once in a while

Indeed, it is better to work on math problems, as mathematics is the subject that can significantly impact scores

Hurry up! He looked at me with a nonchalant expression and couldn't help but revert to his previous tsundere demeanor

I see that Bai Shengqi cannot do it, yet you managed to do it so quickly

Ah? The boy turned his head, and it was Lin Chen's face

Then why is the person sitting next to me now him

The butler also displayed an incredulous expression: "Young Master, do you wish to go out now?"

It is indeed more detailed than the teacher's handouts

Seeing the astonished expression on Bai Shengqi's face, I decided to express all the grievances I had endured since I met him, and thus I began to speak with righteous indignation: "From the very first time I met you, how many times have you played tricks on me? Wasn't it that time you shrank me? I almost got eaten by the big black cat..."

The film tells the love stories of two sisters from Hong Kong. The elder sister chooses a wealthy second-generation heir and lives the life she once fantasized about, but after marriage, she encounters a shoemaker. Fate compels her to make a choice between wealth and true love. Ultimately, she chooses the shoemaker

Well, I have a friend helping me, I can't do that much on my own

I reminded Lin Chen once again, "Did I not tell you before about that matter regarding helping my parents?"

Xiao Nuan, I just saw how quickly you answered the questions. Do you know all of them?

You scored third place!

Thus, I wandered around with the bag not far away

Ah, that is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Unknowingly, two hours have passed, and my desk is already cluttered with various books and exercise books, yet there is not a single one that I can focus on.

So this is what it feels like to be a top student, as I look at the exam paper filled to the brim with my writing, I can't help but want to sing a loud rendition of "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"

Of course! I can also tell you that that kid Rukawa always relies on my help to pass. So, for exams as trivial as yours, I can easily handle them with just a little effort. " After saying this, he lowered his head and continued to write furiously.

No way? No way?

The little dress? It feels nothing special at all

"Here!" Bai Shengqi handed me a pen and sighed, saying, "Alas, if you are distracted, just admit that you are distracted. A place like the library is clearly not suitable for you; you must have taken the wrong medicine again, right? Tsk tsk, you even brought such a thick notebook; do you intend to come in first?"

Of course it is true, how could you not remember? That day my parents were arguing very loudly. If it weren't for you, they might have already divorced by now, and I would have become a child from a single-parent family. Therefore, I should be truly grateful to you

I cast a glance around with a look full of apology and lowered my voice to say to him: "Shh, keep your voice down. This is something I willingly accepted. Besides, Lin Chen said that he often misses classes due to company matters, which is why he is falling behind in his studies..."

Forgot again

However, Lin Chen appeared completely unafraid, with a hint of provocation in his expression

I think my sister is really foolish. How wonderful her life was originally, yet she actually gave up such good conditions to be with a shoemaker. In the end, look at what result she has come to? She can't even have enough to eat, let alone buy clothes. Lin Chen spoke of the sister in the movie with a look of disdain

Ah, ah, ah, I ranked third from the bottom? What is the difference between that and being last? I cried with a mournful expression, biting hard on the cookie in my mouth

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, Xiao Nuan." Lin Chen kept handing me napkins

He is already seated, organizing a few books and stuffing them into his backpack, seemingly preparing to leave early for home. He is allowed to leave early at any time, but I am not. Therefore, I must resolve the issue at school; I have to stop him

In front of the entire class, I acted both coquettishly and cutely, trying to win him over for quite a while, yet this fellow completely ignored me, neither responding nor leaving, standing there as if I were invisible.

"It's nothing, just go ahead and order! Feel free to order whatever you want, don't hold back!" Lin Chen ultimately did not say the rest of the words, but instead ordered a large variety of delicious food for me

I hurriedly ran from my seat to the blackboard at the back of the classroom, my eyes wide open as I searched for my name, and sure enough, I was third! Although that kid Bai Shengqi firmly held the first place, leaving the second place far behind by several points, achieving this score was already unprecedented for me

Oh? I am indeed interested to hear what other methods you might have

In fact, Lin Chen put down the menu, staring at me intently, yet there was a hint of hesitation as if he wanted to say something but held back

The first time entering the teacher's office, attempting to steal the exam papers

Impossible, impossible, impossible.

What is going on? Is violence becoming popular in the celestial realm as a means to solve problems?

But Bai Shengqi didn't even look at me and continued to pack his backpack.

You are right... but anyway, I promised him. As a friend, I should keep my word. I have to sort it out.

Perhaps, everyone has their own choices, different choices mean different lives.

So, I'll tolerate your tsundere attitude!

Did you sit in the library for 7 hours?

Perfect!

It's over, it's over. What's happening to me...? Am I going to start dating?

However, she found someone willing to take a walk with her on the night streets.

It's Lin Chen, from beginning to end it's all Lin Chen.

Classmates in the class saw us arguing like this, and they all returned to their seats, trying to pretend that nothing had happened. Only I was feeling mixed emotions. I knew that once something had happened, no matter how much we tried to disguise it, it was impossible to pretend that it had never happened.

"Shengqi, you are truly too kind. I don't even know what to say to thank you." I carefully placed the notebook into my backpack, continuously expressing my gratitude to Bai Shengqi

"The chirping of the cicadas continues, as Mulan weaves by the door..."

Lin Chen took me to the most upscale Japanese restaurant in the city. It is said that reservations for their sushi must be made two months in advance, and even then, one might not secure a spot. I glanced around at the exquisite Japanese decor and couldn't help but exclaim that Lin Chen truly understands the heart of a little foodie like me

I raised my head and looked at him in disbelief. This wealthy young master, who had shown a cold and impatient demeanor since the first time we met, and was labeled as a "hot potato" by the school newspaper, actually said thank you.

In fact, unknowingly, during our numerous walks, Bai Shengqi and I have long transformed from initial adversaries into close friends, even to the point of being able to rely on each other

However, this time I owe my success in the exam to the assistance of Bai Shengqi. Without him, I would not have been able to create those notes, and Lin Chen and I would not have become true friends.

I won't look anymore, mathematics is really uninteresting

I picked up the experience report he had placed on the ground and patted it, then chased after him back to the classroom

"Rely on myself? Are you saying, rely on you?" Bai Shengqi looked at me skeptically.

However, at that time, no matter how difficult or disappointed, I always firmly believed in one thing, that is - Lin Chen is the person I want to get close to.

In the afternoon, the wind on the rooftop was strong, blowing Bai Shengqi's hair into a slight mess. As he used his hand to tidy his hair, he casually asked me, "Xiao Nuan, do you think we can consider ourselves friends now?"

What shoes should I wear? These shoes with these socks are really ugly. If I change to another pair of shoes, they won't match the long skirt. Then I can only not wear the long skirt. Should I wear a hat? Should I wear a bracelet?

Bai Shengqi sat down next to me, casually flipped through the books on my desk, and asked, "Are you studying so hard? What are you doing? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

He simply looked at me deeply and said, "I do not misunderstand you. I only know that the person you are desperately trying to protect is him, not me"

After much difficulty, I finally made up my mind to transform into a top student. I helped Lin Chen organize a beautiful set of notes, and I must keep my promise. I got up early, bidding farewell to the habit of sleeping in, and I even put up large banners in every corner of the house—Transform into a top student, save myself!

"No... but what is wrong with you?" I hope Lin Chen can give me an answer

The person I am dating is Lin Chen, but why do I keep thinking of Bai Shengqi over and over again?

"Xiao Nuan, are you alright?" Lin Chen asked me with concern, noticing that I had been distracted.

Yes, yes

I pinched my right hand hard with my left hand, confirming that it was not a beautiful dream. Unable to contain myself, I placed my hands on my hips and let out a long howl towards the sky, laughing heartily, "Hahaha, I, Su Ruonuan, am indeed a genius! Being a poor student is merely a facade; when it truly matters, I will not falter!"

"Lin Chen, what happened?"

Xiao Nuan, this time you will definitely be in first place

However, I did not say anything, yet he was so angry that he even forgot his precious experience report.

I have long been accustomed to Bo Shengqi's candid remarks, so I found it somewhat unusual for him to be so cautious today. I quickly replied, "Of course I can."

Ah ah ah ah ... ...

I have always said that the sons of wealthy families tend to have poor memories

Little Nuan, could you help me with tutoring

By the way, there is one more thing I want to sincerely thank you for! I also climbed up to the railing of the rooftop and sat beside him.

I looked up at Lin Chen, and he was also staring at me, his usually indifferent eyes surprisingly holding a hint of a smile

Hello, during that incident with the durian, it wasn't just you; I was also a victim, wasn't I

What? What did he just say

Suddenly, a ray of sunshine and excitement broke through the overcast clouds of my heart, and I quickly replied to him: "Sure, I have no plans for tonight"

Have I really developed feelings for Bai Shengqi? This thought startled me.

"Where are you going, Bai Shengqi?" Seeing that he ignored my question and was about to leave with his backpack, I quickly ran to the back door and stood in front of him.

Haha, then quickly let this young master see how perfect your notes are, haha. Lin Chen took the notebook and began to flip through it while sitting on the sofa on the balcony

Oh dear, why are you being so stingy? I was just joking a moment ago, please don't take it to heart

He actually invited me out to dinner, could it be ...? ... the Hongmen Banquet?

I returned to my seat, only to find three missed calls on my phone, all from Lin Chen

I sat in the front row, my palms sweating, my mind a blank. After receiving the exam paper, I carefully opened it.

Saint Qi suddenly raised his voice by eight octaves, which was like a timed bomb exploding in the quiet library, attracting the attention of the surrounding classmates. The sound of flipping books also stopped, and time seemed to stand still.

The matter of stealing the exam papers has not been resolved, he must have called to urge me

Look, your experience report is still here, I have brought it to you

In your heart, am I really such a person who is unreasonable and likes to solve problems with force? If that is truly the case, then it would be a waste of the time we have known each other and all that has happened during this period.

I did not expect that he did not feel anything unusual at all; instead, he politely invited me: "Miss Su, the young master saw you on the surveillance and asked me to invite you in"

During our last meal together, he said, "I will treat you well from now on." It seems that it is not just my one-sided affection; Lin Chen also has feelings for me!

Although I, Su Ruonuan, often arrive late, do not pay attention in class, and also love to leave early

Upon arriving at the designated location, I saw Lin Chen's car parked nearby. I took out my phone to check the time; there were still 10 minutes left until our agreed time. I thought to myself, would it be too forward if I went over this early?

"If you didn't hear me say thank you, then forget it." Lin Chen walked over to the wardrobe, took a coat, and put it on. Then he said, "How about I treat you to a meal? As a thank you for helping me with my notes."

I will provide you with a study note before the exam, which includes all the knowledge points from all subjects for this month. I will give it to you over the weekend, so you can review it thoroughly. There will be no problem passing the exam

Bai Shengqi

Lin Chen invited me to watch a movie

I sat up and rubbed my eyes, only to realize that everything that had just happened was merely a dream. In reality, I was still sitting in the library, facing a large pile of books from various disciplines, while my prepared notebook remained completely blank.

Request the surface area of the following shape

"It's nothing, I'm fine." I shook my head

Did I really come in last place in the exam

Have a meal

That was close

Ah?

Sheng Qi glanced around and lowered his voice, saying: "Su Ruonan, why don't you consider that if he can't even keep up with his schoolwork, how can he have the ability to manage a company?" It was as if he was explaining a very obvious truth to me

Is the movie good? Lin Chen tried to engage me in conversation to break the awkward atmosphere between us

Following the handrails that I had personally wiped down, I arrived at Lin Chen's room. Judging by his relaxed demeanor, he must have just gotten up. At that moment, he was leisurely standing on the balcony sipping coffee. Upon seeing me, he said: "Su Ruonuan, I was thinking you would come. The exam is the day after tomorrow; what about the notes you promised me?"

Because of him, I have experienced too many firsts

I will definitely treat you well in the future

"Then take a look at mine! I used to be an average student, but look at how much I scored this time." I handed him my report card, and he carefully examined it from top to bottom. Then, with a blank expression, he said: "Although it's an improvement compared to your past, it still falls far short. To become so complacent after achieving a little success is childish!"

I set down my heavy backpack and took out that thick notebook from inside: "Here, how could I forget the promise I made to you? Take a look, I specifically brought it today so that you can review it well over the weekend. By the time Monday's exam comes, there will definitely be no problem."

Indeed, I have been busy recently stealing exam papers and organizing notes, leaving me no time to review. As expected, my dreams are the opposite; dreaming of coming in first means I will definitely come in last!

Because you helped me get close to Lin Chen, and also helped me steal the exam paper

I recall the scene in the movie where the sister walks with the cobbler, and suddenly I remember the time when Bai Shengqi and I were caught by the security guard while heading to Lin Chen's house. After we managed to escape, we also walked along the road, chatting as we went.

Because I can no longer wear the school uniform

I replied with a beaming smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely fill out the experience report next time!" As I responded, I carefully flipped through this notebook as he had instructed.

Bai Shengqi began to organize the messy books on my desk, sorting them by different subjects. Then, he picked up the top Chinese language book and started reading, taking notes in a notebook as he went along

"Hahaha, who made you bring this upon yourself!" Bai Shengqi laughed heartily upon hearing about my predicament

The argument with Shengqi today will soon be forgotten, and I will no longer have to worry about it

I followed Lin Chen as we walked towards the cinema. From behind, his figure appeared slender and upright, and once again I recalled the day he seemed to descend from the heavens and appeared at my home, coolly stating to my parents after they reconciled, "What's the big deal? Angels can do anything." Every time I think of this scene, I feel that he is the warmest presence in the world

Do not feel embarrassed, this is a good thing. Because of you, I want to help more people, and it allows positive energy to continue to be passed on. The more I speak, the more excited I become, feeling as if I am being moved by the positive energy I am radiating myself

"May I call you Xiao Nuan?" Lin Chen asked me very gentlemanly while sitting across from me. In fact, aside from his cold and aloof demeanor, I must admit that he can be quite the gentleman at times

Before the alarm clock had finished ringing, I had already reached out to press the snooze button. Turning to look at myself in the mirror, fully dressed in my school uniform and everything in order, I couldn't help but smile slightly, giving myself a silent thumbs up.

Upon exiting the examination hall, I had not yet acclimated to the atmosphere outside when I was immediately surrounded by people coming from all directions, leaving no room for escape

Lost? Sad? Jealous?

Of course, Lin Chen has a habit of always being accompanied by bodyguards. I looked around and saw four or five bodyguards silently watching Lin Chen, as if waiting for Sheng Qi to make a move. It was clear that as soon as Sheng Qi approached Lin Chen, they would immediately rush in to subdue Sheng Qi, and perhaps even beat him to a pulp.

Usually, it is he who drives me to the brink of anger; I never expected that I could also infuriate him

"Who said you came in third to last? You actually ranked third in the entire class!" My deskmate's voice rose with excitement, as if it were she who had achieved third place instead of me.

"Wasn't it I who saved you!"

Indeed! You are a complete and utter demon

"It's almost the same, but it doesn't matter; as long as I can help you, that's good enough." Having grown accustomed to Lin Chen's usual rebellious and cold demeanor, I was genuinely taken aback when he suddenly spoke to me so earnestly.

Zhen Meili had even fallen asleep on the exam paper, drooling "drip drip" onto the paper.

"Su Ruonuan, what exactly are you doing?" Bai Shengqi stared at me with a frown, noticing that I had not filled out the experience report for a long time.

Su Ruonuan, take a look at your book. How could you not have taken down such important notes?

There is mathematics

If I were to speak of my feelings for you, they are far more abundant than those I have for Lin Chen. You see, we got to know each other early on, and to put it bluntly, you were my first adversary in this school.

Sigh... I let out a sigh, thinking that no matter how hard I tried, I could not master this knowledge. Naturally, it was even more impossible to impress Lin Chen, which left me feeling quite disheartened

Today is the day of the first date

Although it was Bai Shengqi who was organizing the notes, I have not been idle either. He reviewed all my study records, writing as he went along while asking me about the content of each class, making me feel as if I were taking a pop quiz, all tense and anxious.

For the first time, I spent 7 hours in the library organizing a study note

Upon arriving at the cinema, Lin Chen carefully selected a romantic film. The butler approached him and said, "Young Master, I will go help you and Miss Su buy popcorn."

Xiao Nuan, how do you study

You really start to dislike me now, thinking I am foolish and that I can no longer speak. You don't want to drag along this foolish person anymore, do you? Fine, since you don't want to be friends with me, what more can I force you to do?

Lin Chen thanked me

And what about him? He was once indifferent to me, very fierce towards me, and even deliberately teased me. All my friends disliked him and did not want me to get too close to him

I shot him a glance, and the sense of disappointment in my studies made me temporarily unwilling to speak to him. Seeing that I was ignoring him, Bai Shengqi took out a stack of experience reports from his backpack and coldly said: "Su Ruonuan, according to our previous agreement, I will help you fulfill your wish, and you will help me fill out the experience reports. I have already helped you several times, so you should fulfill your promise now"

I was still immersed in the sudden change of Lin Chen and had not yet come to my senses when he was already instructing the butler: "Prepare a car, I will take Miss Su out for dinner"

2

I picked up the pen, leaned over the experience report, and couldn't help but complain to Bo Shengqi: "I am already in such a miserable state, yet you still make fun of me. I have given up on stealing the exam papers, but I have already promised Lin Chen to help him, so now I can only rely on myself."

"Bai Shengqi! Have you seen the results?" I excitedly handed him his report card, "You are in first place!"

Having worked as a maid for the first time, I completed numerous household chores while suffering from back and waist pain

At first, he flipped through the pages casually with a mocking smile, but as he continued, he began to slow down, and his expression became particularly serious and solemn, as if what he held in his hands was not a review note, but a crucial contract that could determine the life or death of the company. His transformation made me feel uneasy.

Can you not be concerned about your own situation

Even Lin Chen, who is usually arrogant, and the cold Bai Shengqi walked up to me, both pretending to be indifferent, and asked me with a hint of pride: "Can you really do it all?"

The monthly exam is approaching quickly. Due to Shengqi's persistent questioning while I was taking notes, I made copies of the notes and reviewed them from beginning to end. Surprisingly, I found that the exam did not seem so difficult after all.

Forget it, I won't look at the language arts anymore, I want to resist the temptation of Duke Zhou, let's change to another book. I continue to rummage through my backpack.

"Just you? You usually don't come to school, can you organize? You might not even be better than me!"

I knew you couldn't do it, yet you still claim to genuinely want to be my friend. If you can't even handle this small matter, do you still have the right to be my friend

I casually glanced at the experience report and saw nothing but a dense mass of text; now, just seeing words makes me feel nauseous

As usual, Bai Shengqi was not in his seat. I asked his deskmate, "Where did Bai Shengqi go?" He pointed towards the rooftop. I hurriedly climbed up to the rooftop, and indeed saw him sitting on the railing, lost in thought, with a stack of experience reports beside him.

The weather was very nice on the day the results were announced. The class monitor got up early and posted the printed report cards on the blackboard at the back of the classroom. The students crowded around to check their scores. Meanwhile, I shrank in my seat, feeling extremely nervous, hesitating and not daring to look.
