Chapter 68: The 64th - : Mathematical Examination (Second Update)

Chapter 68: The 64th Chapter: Mathematical Examination (Second Update)

Math and physics have always been Qingran’s weak points. If it weren’t for Li Qingmo dragging her to choose sciences, Qingran would never have opted for it.

Regarding tomorrow’s math and physics exams, Qingran really has no confidence.

At six in the evening, Old Wu was still worrying like a mother in the class group chat. He sent a voice message that Qingran happened to see and casually listened to—

"Students, it’s not too late to sharpen your swords before battle. For the exams tomorrow, take time today to review again. Let’s all aim for good grades this time."

A string of ’Charge’ and ’Keep it up’ emojis followed in the chat.

Qingran also sent a ’Struggling’ emoji, and not two minutes later, Xie Ying’an sent the same ’Struggling’ emoji.

Suddenly, the lively class group went quiet.

This bastard, Xie Ying’an, this is the first time he’s spoken since he was added to the group. Usually, when Old Wu sends messages asking everyone to reply, he doesn’t.

Su Chen was the first to @ Xie Ying’an.

Su Chen: "Brother An, was your account hacked?"

There was no response from Xie Ying’an.

Su Chen: "Haha, let’s continue, it might just be the system glitching on Brother An’s end."

Old Wu in the group @ Su Chen and scolded: "Continue? Shouldn’t you be reviewing instead, could you even be proud of your previous grades?"

Classmates were shivering in fright, but thankfully, the bullet was only for Su Chen, the one who stuck his neck out.

Old Wu: "Disperse and go study!"

Su Chen: "Okay, teacher."

The classmates dispersed, but who knows whether they’ll actually study.

Li Qingmo actually got home early today, and the first thing he did was ask how Qingran’s exams went.

"It was okay," Qingran honestly replied. "I didn’t find it too difficult."

"Damn it!" Li Qingmo cursed under his breath and went back to his room without even coming out for dinner.

At nine in the evening, Qingran felt she’d done enough last-minute cramming; she needed a good rest to be in a good state for the exams tomorrow.

She went downstairs, poured a glass of milk, and after a thought, poured another and took them upstairs.

Li Qingmo’s room was unlocked, so Qingran entered holding the milk in one hand.

Li Qingmo was buried in a pile of blank test papers, so focused he didn’t even notice Qingran entering.

Seeing all those blank papers, Qingran was speechless, it was as Old Wu said - doing nothing early on and scratching your butts last minute, scratching til it’s all messed up and yet achieving nothing.

Looking at Li Qingmo like this, deep down Qingran actually felt... thrilled.

She placed the milk on Li Qingmo’s desk, advising, "Bro, remember to drink the milk later."

"Mmm," Li Qingmo responded without lifting his head.

Tsk tsk, Li Qingmo looked like he finally felt the crisis, it would be great if his arch-nemesis Luo Xi could see this.

Feeling playful, Qingran ran back to her room, took a 15-second video of Li Qingmo on her phone, and sent it to Luo Xi.

Net-addicted girl Luo Xi replied unusually fast.

Big Cousin: "Ranran, why do you have to provoke me like this? (heartbroken)"

Oh, Qingran almost forgot, Big Cousin’s midterms were scheduled differently from theirs.

Qingran replied: "Big Cousin, we have midterms these two days, my brother is cramming."

The other side was silent for a full half minute before a bombardment of emojis started.

Big Cousin: "(Jaw drop) emoji"

Big Cousin: "(Rolling) emoji"

Big Cousin: "It’s only a few months in and midterms are starting? Isn’t that too soon?"

Qingran replied: "It’s April, Big Cousin, your school’s probably starting soon too."

Big Cousin: "(Petrified) emoji"

Big Cousin: "I feel so despondent, Ranran, remember to send me your papers once they are distributed."

Qingran was speechless, regretting messing with her talkative older cousin.

She replied, "Cousin, our exam papers won’t be the same."

Older cousin: "Doesn’t matter, if there’s even one question the same, it’s my gain."

Qingran: "..."

What else could she say? She could only agree.

Qingran didn’t know what time Li Qingmo finished his papers.

Anyhow, the next day, the dark circles under his eyes were comparable to a national treasure; he looked completely exhausted and drained.

Even Aunt Liu showed concern, asking if he had severe insomnia.

Li Qingmo sloppily sipped his soup, not caring about the rule of silence during meals.

"No insomnia, Aunt Liu, I was just up late last night doing homework."

After saying that, he looked at Qingran with a plaintive gaze.

Honestly, if it weren’t for having such a studious little sister, he wouldn’t have been pushed so hard.

Aunt Liu rattled on: "Teachers these days really do assign so much homework..."

Qingran quickly finished her breakfast, grabbed her backpack, and left, ignoring Li Qingmo who was calling after her and didn’t stop to wait for him.

Qingran didn’t expect to bump into Xie Ying’an so early, who had just arrived at her doorstep.

She was stunned for a moment, then pointed back towards the house: "Looking for my brother? He’s still having breakfast."

Xie Ying’an curled the corner of his mouth and smoothly replied: "Then let’s not wait for him, we’ll head out now."

Before, Qingran might have noticed something off about Xie Ying’an’s demeanor, but today her brain was so filled with math and physics that she couldn’t spare any attention to notice his particularities.

As the two walked to school, Qingran still felt uneasy, she asked Xie Ying’an: "Do you remember the question Wen Shiyi asked you last time?"

Xie Ying’an frowned, "I don’t remember."

It turned out he didn’t even recall when Wen Shiyi had asked him the question.

"No way," Qingran said with a grave expression: "I feel like that question might be on the test, I need to go over it again."

Saying that, she headed towards the direction of Class 2 Year 2.

Xie Ying’an didn’t remember the question anymore. Considering they arrived early and seeing Qingran walking to Class 1, he followed her.

When they got there, the classroom was still nearly empty. Qingran walked straight to her seat, only to remember that during this midterm period, all the books were already taken home by the students.

Qingran: Felt a sense of despair, like having no place even to cry.

Xie Ying’an calmly leaned against the classroom door, watching Qingran’s series of actions and then sitting defeated at her desk.

He held back a laugh, asking, "Looking for your math workbook?"

Qingran turned to look at him, nodding mechanically: "Ah~ I forgot we took all the books home."

The boy stood at the doorway, a victoriously broad smile showing off his white teeth nearly dazzling Qingran: "Ranran, if I can find that book, how will you thank me?"

Little did she know, Xie Ying’an had a big surprise in store.

Oh, rather than a surprise, let’s just call it his laziness.

He simply couldn’t be bothered to carry his backpack home and had casually asked a senior to keep it for him.

When Qingran flipped to that problem, Xie Ying’an came closer, a scent of mint mixed with grass lingering between them.

Qingran hadn’t tied up her hair today, the soft black strands draping over her shoulders demurely.

Xie Ying’an’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he pointed to the question, "This problem is quite difficult for us, it probably won’t be on the test."

The boy’s voice was somewhat hoarse, inexplicably.

Qingran, too busy verifying the solution steps, replied offhandedly: "Don’t you think the problems on this test are all pretty difficult?"

Xie Ying’an perplexed: "Are they?"

He always felt the exam questions were the same, when were they ever difficult?

Qingran: "..."

Damn! A true strike from a real studious master.
