Chapter 18 Monday, January 18th

Only seven days remained until the exam next Monday.

Chen Yuan's superpower had refreshed.

However, he still didn't know what the hell it was.

In the previous week, because he had linked with Xia Xinyu, and as the first week's Super-Child (Chao Zi), he didn't have to expend physical strength. Through dual-track learning, some of his weaker subjects showed considerable improvement.

Especially in Chinese, after realizing that the biggest taboo in studying Chinese was to stubbornly find logic in liberal arts studies and argue for the sake of arguing, his accuracy rate in doing problems significantly improved.

Chen Yuan was also helping Xia Xinyu raise her upper limit, while also maintaining his feel for solving problems. When he was working on those difficult math problems, he should have been helping Yu-zi (Yu Zi) challenge her weaknesses.

Even if the questions were very difficult this time, and set up very cleverly, Yu-zi shouldn't have a big regression, like dropping from a score close to 140 directly to 120.

However, Chen Yuan wasn't sure how difficult this exam would be.

According to normal people's thinking, the first city-wide unified exam, since everyone had basically just finished the high school curriculum not long ago, shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Of course, it depended on whether the question setter was a person or a dog.

If the question setter was a *fanjian* (someone who is deliberately difficult), then there was really nothing he could do but eat Yu-zi's *jio zi* (feet) with tears in his eyes.

It just so happened that he didn't have a very good appetite recently, so he could have some delicious food to stimulate his appetite, and eat two big bowls full.

And this week, without Yu-zi's help, and with Yu-zi not having his assistance, they could only rely on their hard strength and study diligently on their own.

Currently, both of them have their own goals.

Xin-yu's goal is to improve to 650.

And Chen Yuan, from 660 points, plus the 10-point bonus, wants to improve to 690, a Youzi line, or a quasi-Youzi line.

One month to improve 20 points…

This time is the most difficult.

Because he didn't use any other stronger auxiliary Super-Child, just shared Yu-zi's learning.

Can he really do it…

Honestly, this is the time he's least confident.

It depends on this exam paper.

If it maintains the difficulty of the Seven School Joint Exam, Chen Yuan has at least a 70% chance.

Of course, if the questions are set up a bit more difficult, the score line will also drop a bit, and the Youzi line will also sink appropriately.

However, Chen Yuan still hopes that, including the bonus points, he can reach 690, half a step to 700, the level of the Eleven Middle School's Four Heavenly Kings.

Look, his progress in physics during this period has been considerable, and he's also more comfortable with Chinese. If these two subjects have great progress while everything else remains the same, it's not impossible.

But can I really do it in Chinese?

Xiao Yuan, you can do it!

Resist the urge to argue!

But this kind of thing… is really too difficult.

When he won the argument with his classmates in the park for an afternoon when he was a child, Chen Yuan felt the most supreme enjoyment on the human spiritual level for the first time.

Perhaps, he really is a *gangzi* (argumentative person) who has become精 (spirit).

Forget it, don't go against the score.

Chen Yuan got up, changed his clothes, and left the bedroom.

At this time, Xia Xinyu also came out of her room.

"Morning, Bao."

A somewhat sleepy Xia Xinyu took the initiative to greet him.

Chen Yuan, however, was stunned in place, looking at the girl in front of him in astonishment.

And, a red number '1' hanging over her head.

After a long pause, he hugged Xia Xinyu tightly in his arms.

Damn it!

What the hell is this?

Didn't I already successfully save her?

Don't put a knife in me at this time!

Holding Xia Xinyu tightly in his arms, as if desperately guarding his beloved from being taken away by the Grim Reaper's scythe, Chen Yuan was so strong that…

Xia Xinyu felt a pain in her chest.

He was squeezing too tight.

However, the other person didn't say a word, still hugging her so hard, as if afraid she would leave.

"Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Yuan didn't speak, still locking her in his arms, burying his head in her chest, as if he had received a great shock, and his whole aura was depressed.

A little scary…

Xia Xinyu slowly placed her hand on his back, patted him gently, endured the faint chest pain, and comforted him gently, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yuan still didn't speak.

So, Xia Xinyu gently patted his shoulder: "Yuan Bao… it hurts a little."

At this time, Chen Yuan let go.

Then, Xia Xinyu raised her head, and before the other person could avoid her gaze, she directly went up to him, staring into his eyes.

Afterward, Xia Xinyu was stunned.

In Chen Yuan's eyes, there was a glittering and translucent streamer…

"Oh, why are you crying?"

Xia Xinyu saw Chen Yuan cry for the first time. This strong, powerful, and very disdainful of "little fresh meat" boy actually had a tendency to cry, so she was very surprised.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled and said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"…" Chen Yuan looked at the 1 above Xia Xinyu's head.

He felt that this was the most terrifying nightmare.

Just like the countdown of his lifespan back then.

Could it be that the superpower has been replaced again?

Moreover, after the superpower weakened, it has changed. It no longer appears actively, but only when an object enters a near-death state.

Therefore, it's not strange that he didn't notice Xia Xinyu's lifespan before.

But, why?

Right.

Future Vision, he has to use Future Vision to see what happened…

"I understand, you must have had a nightmare." Xia Xinyu made a judgment, and then comforted him, "Dreams are all fake, look, aren't I standing here?"

"…"

"Speaking of which, what nightmare did you have?"

Xia Xinyu looked into Chen Yuan's eyes and asked very curiously, "Did I leave you, or did I… die?"

"…"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, *pei pei pei* (spitting sound to ward off bad luck)." Xia Xinyu quickly touched wood.

Then, holding Chen Yuan's hand, she walked to the bathroom: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, the nightmares are all driven away."

Although you look a lot like Nangong Wenya… but who's in the mood to complain?

"You won't have nightmares anymore, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"… Okay."

"You're finally talking?" Xia Xinyu made a funny face and mocked, "Sure enough, a pervert can't resist this."

"Okay, brush your teeth."

Chen Yuan wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and stopped talking about this topic.

Since the countdown has appeared, and the future can be interfered with, as long as I'm here, Xin-yu's '1' won't become 0.

Unless she has a terminal illness…

Just as Chen Yuan was thinking this, standing in front of the mirror, he found that his own countdown had also appeared.

It's 2.

I can actually see my own?!

Moreover, it's 2.

That is to say, Xin-yu will die tomorrow, and he, unable to bear this ending, will also follow her to death, sacrificing himself for love.

"Brush your teeth, Bao, what are you spacing out for?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan was still a little dazed, Xia Xinyu patted his butt and reminded him with a smile.

"Should we do it first today?"

Holding the toothbrush and not yet putting it in his mouth, Chen Yuan turned to look at Xia Xinyu and asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Xia Xinyu didn't quite understand, looking confused, "Do what?"

If I don't do it, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to do it if I'm gone!

Just then, Yu-zi passed by the bathroom door and shouted a few times, and the number hanging over its head was even more heavyweight—0.

Damn, that's even smaller than the number on the previous Teddy biscuit!

What the hell is going on?

Chen Yuan was confused.

At this time, he thought that he still possessed the weakened version of the Death Countdown Super-Child.

So, he activated it directly.

Then, he saw Xia Xinyu's health bar.

Very long, very long.

Corresponding to the number, it's also a very, very long number.

This is the real lifespan!

To verify, he also looked at himself in the mirror.

Sure enough, it couldn't be displayed.

That is to say, this number does not refer to lifespan.

Moreover, it's not a countdown.

After all, Yu-zi's side is 0, and nothing has happened yet.

So, what exactly is this thing?

Xin-yu is 1, he is 2, and Yu-zi is 0.

With these doubts, the two left the community after breakfast.

Then, Chen Yuan saw many pedestrians on the road with numbers within 3 hanging over their heads, with 1 and 2 being the majority, and 0 also being quite a few.

Of course, there were also numbers that were a bit larger, reaching 4 or 5, and the largest being 8.

Moreover, this thing seems to be that the older you are, the larger the number is.

The elementary school students on the road are basically 0, and a few are 1 and 2.

Now, have the smart little friends guessed what this number represents?

That's right, it represents how many times a week you *chong* (masturbate/have sexual urges).

Hiss, then Yu-zi doesn't have any, how does she *chong*?

Could it be that his guess isn't quite right, and there are other possibilities…

What exactly is it?

No, isn't it obvious that it's the number of relationships?

Shut up, narrator, if it's the number of relationships, how could I be 2?!

If I had been in a relationship before, I would go die, okay?

Honestly, Chen Yuan had actually guessed that this was the number of relationships.

When a male dog and a female dog met eyes, the numbers above their heads both increased by one, and then they started mating, he further confirmed his guess.

But, he couldn't possibly be 2.

Think about it, when he was a child…

When he was in kindergarten, a girl gave him cookies and said she would be his wife in the future, but Chen Yuan refused.

After all, accepting cookies ≠ becoming your husband.

When he was in elementary school, there were basically no flirtatious incidents.

When he was in junior high school, there were a few girls who liked him, but he rejected them all. One girl even found his house, and Chen Yuan chose to stay behind closed doors.

Therefore, the so-called first love, or ex-girlfriend, this kind of thing doesn't exist.

It must be that the evaluation criteria have problems, counting in even the ambiguous stages…

But he shouldn't be considered ambiguous, right?

He did like a senior in junior high school back then, but he didn't confess.

It doesn't count, it doesn't count at all.

While Chen Yuan was thinking about these things, Xia Xinyu was shocked by another thing.

Just now, Chen Yuan did take out the biology book to read, but she didn't share it in her mind…

From this morning until now, this sharing ability has not appeared once.

During this time, Chen Yuan read a chapter, and no images appeared in her brain.

That is to say, this ability has disappeared?!

Ah, why is this happening…

Xia Xinyu was a little depressed, after all, she felt that she had learned very successfully last week.

So, why does my superpower appear on Monday and end on Sunday? Could it be that it has been refreshed?

Then will I have a new superpower?

Xia Xinyu was very confused.

She also felt a little subtle, like suddenly a god gave her a power, and then suddenly said, 'Sorry, sorry, there's a bug that needs to be fixed,' and then took it back.

It was so strange that she even wondered, could it be that I have a problem with my nerves?

The confused Xia Xinyu got off the bus at the Fourth Middle School stop.

Next up was Zhou Fu.

The moment Chen Yuan saw her, he prayed that there would be no number on her head.

If they're talking about closeness, he and Mama Fu (Fu Ma) are definitely the closest.

But she obviously hasn't had a boyfriend.

If he is 2 and she is 1, doesn't that mean her 1 came from him?

Opening a harem, confirmed!

But luckily, Zhou Fu has a 0 on her head.

"Morning." Zhou Fu sat next to Chen Yuan.

"I'm taking the liberty of asking, have you never had a boyfriend?" Chen Yuan asked.

"…" After being asked this, Zhou Fu blushed, then lowered her head, covering her face with one hand, and said with some difficulty, "It seems, I can't hide it from you."

"What?"

"Actually, I'm not your biological mommy."

"…"

Chen Yuan made a foreign child pursing his lips expression, wanting to punch this stupid Zhou Fu to death.

"But what are you asking me this for?" Zhou Fu asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just curious." Chen Yuan said casually.

Zhou Fu's side is very realistically 0, so why is his 2?

"But don't look at me as if I haven't been in love, but I was very popular in junior high school, many boys all…"

"Not interested."

Chen Yuan raised his hand to interrupt directly, dismissively.

Then, Zhou Fu puffed out her cheeks, frowning, very unhappy.

After a while, the two got off the bus.

Then, Chen Yuan went to school.

In the campus, he saw that the vast majority of people were 0.

However, the proportion of 1 is also not small.

So many 1s and 0s, did I come to Shu Han?

"Oh, that seems to be 47." Zhou Fu pointed to a girl.

Then, Chen Yuan also looked over.

He found that 47 had a 1 on her head.

And the Li Yuanchen (Li Yuan Chen) next to her was 3.

This shameless thing actually had two relationships before, do you deserve 47?

People with numbers greater than 2 on their heads are scumbags.

Equal to 2 is okay.

Because I am equal to 2.

But why!

Who the hell cut my account and helped me have a relationship?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly had a person appear in his mind—Shen Xiaoran (Shen Xiao Ran).

Could it be that this kid helped him open a harem while he was away?

She did help him flirt with a little cripple, but that shouldn't count as 1 time, because they weren't together.

Could it be, that hug with Tang Siwen (Tang Si Wen)?!

Thinking like this, Chen Yuan went to the class with a nervous mood.

"What?"

Tang Siwen tilted her head, looking at Chen Yuan smiling at her head with a puzzled face.

"Nothing."

Fortunately, she is also 0.

I said, those who endorse pure love go to jail.

Zhang Chao (Zhang Chao) is also 0.

Liu Yan (Liu Yan) is also 0.

He Meng (He Meng) is 1.

Did she have one in junior high school?

I don't know, after all, it's other people's privacy.

Tang Jian (Tang Jian) is 5.

Damn, the most surprising episode!

On the surface, he's harmless to humans and animals, but in reality, he's a slut, is this what a rich kid is like?

With your appearance, you still want to be with 47, do you deserve it?

I unilaterally declare that Li Yuanchen is also a pure love party.

Looking at Jiao-jie (Jiao Jie) again, she is 1.

It seems that Jiao-jie's first time will be taken by my son Yu-zi.

Then Yu-zi must also be…

"What's up?" Zhou Yu (Zhou Yu) didn't understand why Chen Yuan was looking at him.

Chen Yuan shook his head and sat back in his seat.

No, with Yu-zi's personality, wouldn't he brag about this kind of thing?

Or is he hiding it deeply?

Chen Yuan was very puzzled.

So after the first class, he invited Yu-zi, and the two of them went to relieve themselves together.

Then in the toilet, he directly questioned the man with a 2 hanging over his head: "Have you been in two relationships?"

"… What the hell, did He Sijiao (He Si Jiao) ask you to ask that?" To this, Zhou Yu replied very forcefully, "Only once, just He Sijiao."

"Impossible, definitely twice. Before He Sijiao, you must have been in a relationship with someone else!"

While Chen Yuan said this, he was also questioning the accuracy of the superpower in his heart.

The superpower can get him wrong, wouldn't it get Zhou Yu wrong?

However, after he finished speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly became sweaty.

Obviously, he panicked.

"I've seen it, there's still one more." So, Chen Yuan pressed on.

And after pressing on, Zhou Yu completely lost his position, directly revealing the truth, and instead asked: "Don't, don't say it."

Hiss!

Is there really one?

"It's that someone, I saw you chatting with her on your phone before." Chen Yuan continued to probe.

"Ah, we've already broken contact."

Zhou Yu had no choice but to sigh and then explained: "It's like this, I used to play the mobile game QQ Speed, and then a person named Jiazhutao (Jia Zhu Tao) added me, and played with me, we played for a winter vacation, she also spoke to me, she was a girl with a very sweet voice, I just… I just sent her a relationship binding, I didn't expect she agreed! However, it was only that time, but after school started, she didn't play with me much anymore, and she didn't speak anymore, it's a pity I sent her a lot of cars…"

As Zhou Yu spoke, he found that Chen Yuan's expression gradually became guilty, his eyes began to dodge, and when he said 'sent cars', he even broke out in a cold sweat on the spot…

"What's wrong with you? Are you going to die?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

After he asked, Chen Yuan covered his mouth and vomited in disgust.

Damn it, using Yang Qiqi's (Yang Qi Qi) voice to play with me also counts as one time? Superpower, you're a 2b!
