After finishing the Chinese and math exams, Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu stayed home to review for the comprehensive science and English exams scheduled for the next day.

However, they only glanced at English, focusing mainly on comprehensive science.

And within comprehensive science, they concentrated on physics and chemistry.

"Hey, Xiao Chen…"

Xia Xinyu, sitting next to Chen Yuan, suddenly spoke.

Xiao Chen?

What are you playing at, Xiao Xia?

"What's up?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.

"I did pretty well on the math test today, right? My aunt asked me about it, and I told her it was because you've been helping me review, teaching me until very late every day. So, if she brings it up with you, don't let the cat out of the bag," Xia Xinyu reminded him.

"But…" Chen Yuan said, a little embarrassed, "I didn't teach you until very late. Wouldn't that be lying?"

"But you answered every question I asked you," Xia Xinyu said.

"Your good results this time are due to your own hard work…"

Chen Yuan guessed that Xia Xinyu was still giving him all the credit.

Although he had indeed been grinding math problems specifically to help her improve, he had also absorbed something from her Chinese studies.

This should count as dual cultivation.

"Okay, just say that when you chat with my aunt," Xia Xinyu insisted.

"This…" Chen Yuan felt a little undeserving of the credit.

Then, Xia Xinyu, like Uchiha Itachi, gently poked Chen Yuan's forehead and said with a smile, "I wish everyone thought you were the best to me in the world, so just accept this credit, okay?"

Yu Zi is great, no need to say more.

"Alright."

Chen Yuan could only smile and then said, "If I bully you in the future, won't you tell your aunts?"

Xia Xinyu's eyebrows drooped, and she puffed out her cheeks, asking, "Would you make me feel wronged?"

Look how scared Yu Zi is.

Chen Yuan immediately rubbed her soft little face, "Of course not, what are you thinking?"

"Even if you did, I wouldn't tell anyone your bad points," Yu Zi said, looking at Chen Yuan in a low voice.

"No, I said I wouldn't, don't project…"

Chen Yuan suddenly realized that Xinyu seemed a little serious, so he quickly explained.

He also realized that his joke just now was indeed not appropriate.

Ever since they returned to Shao Xiang, their relatives had been worried about the issue of marrying far away.

Because Xinyu, who has no parents, would be very pitiful if she was bullied by her husband's family.

Xia Xinyu didn't make a big deal out of it and quickly adjusted, "I know, I was just joking…"

"Then Xinyu should be more assertive, show off the spirit of the Xiang girls, and take revenge fiercely when you are bullied," Chen Yuan taught.

"If it were you who did that, of course I would," Xia Xinyu said rather proudly.

"Okay, let's try it. Suppose I cheated on you, how would a Xiang girl scold me… Xinyu, why are you getting up?"

"To get a knife from the kitchen."

"Oh… don't take it so seriously!" Chen Yuan quickly changed his words, "Then suppose I get off work late and didn't tell you in advance, and when I come back, I'm cold and indifferent to you, you… don't cry."

"Change to a metaphor that makes me a little angry, but not so sad," Xia Xinyu said earnestly.

"Then, for example, I drink with friends until I get a perforated stomach and still don't repent. What would a Xiang girl do?"

Xia Xinyu thought for a while, then put her hands on her hips and suddenly scolded fiercely, "A man, enjoying his wife's money, not returning home, always out there all day long! You're going to suffer!"

After being scolded in dialect, Chen Yuan suddenly felt spiritually…

…immense pleasure.

"More, more!"

"…I almost forgot you're a pervert."

Xia Xinyu originally thought she was being fierce, but the other party was just making fun of her, so she pushed up her forehead and sat down to continue writing her questions.

Resolutely refusing to be the source of Chen Yuan's mental pleasure.

Chen Yuan held back his smile and continued writing questions, then suddenly asked curiously, "Xinyu, what does tang ke mean?"

"…"

Xia Xinyu's face turned red, then she turned her face slightly to the side and muttered stubbornly, "Jingnan dialect… tank."

…………

No. 1 High School, Xia Hai’s Highest Peak.

In the first examination hall, Liu Chengxi sat behind Shen Yating. The two top-five competitors were seriously tackling the comprehensive science questions.

For someone like him, difficult questions were no longer an issue.

Yesterday's exam, which others found a bit strenuous and difficult to write, Liu Chengxi simply felt that he wasn't strong enough and couldn't complete the questions quickly enough.

If it were Shi Yi, he certainly wouldn't be bogged down in a protracted battle.

Of course, he wasn't bad either.

He believed that he had performed very well in both Chinese and math in this exam.

As for today's comprehensive science, it was also a piece of cake.

However, he knew that his difference from Shi Yi lay in his lack of stability.

Being able to get every point for the questions he could answer was the foundation of becoming the top scorer.

And it was the most basic of foundations.

Of course, he shouldn't be aiming too high right now, thinking about challenging a god with a mortal body.

He had to win against the person sitting in front of him.

The strongest woman in No. 1 High School.

Or rather, the strongest science student in Xia Hai.

He couldn't make mistakes, not even the slightest carelessness.

Any negligence could cost him one or two points against Shen Yating.

And the number of points he lost to her each time was just a few.

Thus, he maintained a high level of concentration throughout the entire exam.

After finishing all the questions, he didn't forget to check carefully, repeatedly checking.

Until the end of the class.

After handing in the paper, Shen Yating stood up, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Chengxi, what are we going to eat?"

"…Anything is fine." Liu Chengxi had been brainstorming throughout the entire exam, using Shen Yating as a benchmark, but she seemed so relaxed, not treating him as a mortal enemy at all.

He felt a little unhappy.

The proctor happened to be from Class One and roughly understood when he saw Shen Yating affectionately calling "Chengxi." It turned out that the rumors circulating among the teachers that the two 700-point students were in a relationship were indeed true.

He could imagine the head teacher's mood…

He must be sweating profusely.

But these two kids seemed very sweet, one was a cold school hunk, and the other was a lively science queen.

This was the atmosphere of No. 1 High School.

Unlike the hellish No. 4 High School.

Even if they knew that students had a tendency to date early, they wouldn't be too strict in reminding and correcting them, as long as it didn't affect their studies.

After the exam, Liu Chengxi and Shen Yating walked together towards the cafeteria, side by side on campus.

"Xi, there's a parent-teacher conference after this exam," Shen Yating mentioned suggestively on the way. "Are you, perhaps, a little nervous?"

"Nervous about what?" Liu Chengxi asked, puzzled.

"My mom has seen you a few times," Shen Yating reminded him.

"I've also seen your mom a few times."

"Are you giving me relativity…" Shen Yating couldn't help but make it clear. "I mean, I've met your mom, and you've met my mom. Wouldn't the two parents chat at the parent-teacher conference?"

"They don't know each other, why would they chat?"

"…I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Shen Yating's face darkened, and she completely lost interest.

Both parents know that each of them has a partner who often studies together and has been to each other's houses. Wouldn't the two be curious and chat with each other?

And he's asking why they would chat?

Liu Chengxi is such an idiot.

"But speaking of this, my mom often talks to me about you," Liu Chengxi said casually.

"What does she say about me, what does she say about me?" Shen Yating asked curiously.

Liu Chengxi thought for a while and said, "She asks me, what else do you do besides study when you go out with that little beauty?"

"…" Shen Yating blushed and asked in a low voice, "Then what did you say?"

"I said there's nothing but studying."

"…Okay."

Shen Yating sighed inwardly.

What am I expecting?

This is Liu Chengxi.

"She also asked me what my relationship is with that little beauty."

"And you said we're good friends who study together."

"Isn't it girlfriend?"

Liu Chengxi was stunned and asked in confusion.

"…"

Shen Yating froze on the spot.

Her face turned red, and she looked at this man, stammering, "Yes, that's what it is, but didn't you say we'd talk about it after the college entrance exam? And, you told your mom that directly?"

"Saying good friends is a bit disrespectful to you. But saying it that way directly is indeed a bit frivolous."

Thinking of this, Liu Chengxi replicated the scene that day, "I said, the most important thing right now is definitely the college entrance exam, don't be too nervous, it won't affect your studies. But after the college entrance exam, she'll be my girlfriend, we've both agreed on this. Also, I have to take a long vacation after the college entrance exam, so I can't go on a trip with you, you can find my dad."

"…"

After hearing this A-level statement, Shen Yating was dumbfounded, her face as red as a tomato, "You said that? Ah?"

"Is there any problem?"

Liu Chengxi didn't understand what he had said that could interfere with Shen Yating's mentality.

But he suddenly felt a little happy.

If this guy's mentality is affected, wouldn't I be able to win this time?

Ah no, that would be a bit of an unfair victory…

But an unfair victory is better than no victory at all!

………

The comprehensive science exam was still of a very high standard.

But Chen Yuan clearly felt that he wrote the physics section much better than last time.

Awesome, Xiao Yang.

As expected of a special-grade teacher, he has something to offer.

This month of small cafeteria… private tutoring has indeed been very fruitful.

Tang Siwen and Zhou Fu should also have made some progress because of this special training.

Then, there was the last exam—English.

In two hours, Chen Yuan finished the exam.

And he finished the questions half an hour early and then checked them.

No matter how difficult English is, it must follow the rule that 80% of the words come from the essential high school vocabulary. And Chen Yuan, whose English has already reached its peak, can naturally maintain stability.

Summing it up, he maintained a stable performance in both math and English this time.

Chinese should have improved slightly, and physics has improved significantly.

As for the total score…

Killing Xiao Sun may be a little difficult, but it will definitely be a significant improvement compared to last time.

Picking pomelos should be very likely!

After the exam, according to the school's requirements, everyone returned to their respective classes and moved their desks and chairs to restore the classroom.

Seeing Tang Siwen, who was so small, also moving a desk, Chen Yuan gently tapped her shoulder. She was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yuan helped her put her desk back in place.

"Thank you, Yuan," Tang Siwen nodded, expressing her gratitude with a faint smile.

"It's nothing," Chen Yuan casually gave an ok sign.

"Thank you, Yuan."

Then, he encountered Zhou Fu looking at him expectantly, her desk in front of her, as if waiting for something.

"I'm not a public utility. Fu, move it yourself," Chen Yuan immediately refused.

Fu Zi is already 120 pounds, the same weight as some boys. Doesn't she have the strength to move a desk?

Zhou Fu glared at Chen Yuan resentfully and gritted her teeth, "You're such an unfilial son."

After saying that, she had no choice but to move it herself with bitterness. However, just as she was about to do so, Chen Yuan helped her move it without saying a word.

"Hehe, I'll take care of Xinyuan's snacks," Zhou Fu said happily.

"Don't tarnish the pure friendship between classmates."

"Then the snacks?"

"If you dare to give me less, I'll flip your desk."

"…"

Just like that, the desks and chairs in the classroom were returned to their original positions.

After Lao Mo came in, everyone sat back in their original seats.

Then, he directly announced, "After the exam, there will be a two-day holiday, with no homework."

"Ohhhhh—"

Hearing this, the whole class erupted in joy, so happy it was almost indecent.

A holiday with a bunch of test papers assigned is that really a holiday?

A bare holiday is the real holiday!

Until Lao Mo added, "Parent-teacher conference on Friday, everyone's parents must come."

Then, there was a wail.

"Eh eh eh eh—"

Not being able to let the holiday become a wild horse—from the Chinese style of stopping just before the climax.
