You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

Su Qinghe was startled by the sudden sound behind her. When she turned around, she saw Jiang Che, and the shock in her eyes instantly disappeared.

She shook her head, then put down her pen, reached out and grabbed Jiang Che's large hand that was resting on her shoulder, gently rubbing her cheek against his palm: "I wasn't sleepy at noon, so I didn't rest~"

Feeling the soft touch from his palm, Jiang Che felt a slight ripple in his heart.

He gently pinched the girl's cheeks a few times, then pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. "You usually make a fuss if you're not near me, so why are you quietly hiding in the guest room all by yourself today?"

"I'm afraid the sound of me writing will disturb your sleep."

Su Qinghe rested her chin on her hands and stared intently into Jiang Che's eyes, her gaze filled with tenderness. "These past few days you've been taking care of me at the hospital, going to school, and training every morning. You haven't had much rest, and I don't want to bother you."

The highest form of loving someone is to feel heartache for them.

Jiang Che had actually guessed that this was the reason before Su Qinghe answered the question, but when he heard the definite answer from Su Qinghe herself, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

He reached out and stroked the girl's fluffy head. "I can't sleep well with you staying here."

"Come on, put away your test papers, let me take you out for some fresh air. Don't stay locked up in your room all the time on your first day out of the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghe did not show the joy that Jiang Che had imagined. She gently shook her head, "I don't really want to go. There's not much time left until the mock exam, and every minute and every second is precious to me."

For her, nothing is more important than getting into the top ten in the whole school in the mock exam at this stage.

To study, she can work without rest or relaxation, preferring to sit here and study for more than ten hours straight.

Seeing the little girl's stubborn expression, Jiang Che helplessly sat back down and took the pen from her hand. "I'm telling you, Qinghe, your grades are already really good. You'll definitely be in the top ten in the whole school."

"This morning in the ward, while you were washing up, I looked at the test papers you did. There were basically no mistakes. As long as you study a little bit every day, your final science score will definitely not be lower than 250."

"You should know that a score of 250 in the combined science exam is already considered pretty good in our school. Moreover, this isn't even the first mock exam yet. With a little more review in this final period, you can definitely improve your score even further."

"Add to your already good scores in Chinese, Math, and English, I think you should have no problem getting into the top three, let alone the top ten. So there's absolutely no need for you to put so much pressure on yourself."

Jiang Che was trying to reason with her for a long time, but Su Qinghe didn't listen to a single word. Her soft and cute face still showed the word "stubborn".

"No, Che, these tests are too easy. They can't compare to the difficulty of the mock exam. Besides, there are still many knowledge points I don't understand. I still can't handle slightly more difficult questions."

Su Qinghe took the pen back from Jiang Che's hand and looked at him seriously. "Besides, think about it. Those original top students in science studied hard for three years to get to that position. How can I, a transfer student who has only been in contact with them for a little over a week, possibly surpass them?"

"So I have to work twice as hard in the limited time I have to try to narrow the gap between me and them as much as possible, otherwise I will never be able to get into the top ten."

What Su Qinghe said did make sense, and Jiang Che didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Anyway, he knew he wouldn't be able to get out of this door today.

Come to think of it, he knew Su Qinghe was stubborn all along. Once she made up her mind, not even eight oxen could pull her back. How dare he even think of persuading her?

Jiang Che suddenly felt like a clown.

This girl has a ruthless streak in her bones; she's ruthless to herself and ruthless to others.

Now she's channeling all that ruthlessness into her studies, which is actually quite good. It's much better than if she used that ruthlessness to figure out how to deal with others.

"Really not going out for a stroll?" Jiang Che had basically given up by this point, but he was making one last attempt.

Su Qinghe has already proven her determination with her actions. She opened a brand new chemistry exam paper and neatly wrote her name in the header.

"No, I'm not going~ Ah Che, be a good boy, okay? I promise you, after I finish these practice papers, I can go out with you tonight if you want to play."

As she spoke, she reached out her little hand and ruffled Jiang Che's hair, just like Jiang Che usually did when he touched her head. "Good boy."

"..." So this is what it feels like to have your head patted?

Jiang Che seemed to have discovered something new. He subconsciously tried to rub his hand against Su Qinghe's palm a few more times, but Su Qinghe simply touched it and then withdrew her hand, not giving him a chance to take advantage of her.

As the warmth above his head disappeared, Jiang Che felt a sudden emptiness in his heart.

But the girl was already engrossed in her studies, so he couldn't very well bother her and ask for a touch.

And this kind of thing... it looks like he's acting like a spoiled child when he does it like this, doesn't it?

This is so inconsistent with his tough guy image.

Jiang Che sat down next to Su Qinghe and watched her intently as she wrote her exam paper for a while.

He quickly noticed that Su Qinghe was hunched over the table while writing her test paper, and instantly realized that this wouldn't do; hunching over for too long would cause her to develop a hunchback, which would be bad for her spine.

So he gently patted Su Qinghe's shoulder, "Qinghe."

Su Qinghe's thoughts were interrupted. She turned her small face to look at Jiang Che with a blank expression, "What's wrong?"

"Pack up your papers and go back to your bedroom to write them. The table in the guest room is too low; your spine won't be able to take it if you lie down for too long."

Hearing that Jiang Che was taking the initiative to care about her, Su Qinghe's lips curled into a small smile, and she nodded obediently.

He then carried the exam papers and several reference books to his arms and followed Jiang Che to the master bedroom.

Jiang Che wasn't idle either. After Su Qinghe sat down at the table, he took out the test papers and wrong questions he had accumulated over the past few days from his schoolbag, spread them on the other side of the desk, and then sat down next to Su Qinghe.

Although he has been busy with training these past few days, Jiang Che has not neglected his academic studies either, and has been working overtime at school to catch up on his studies.

After all, to get into a special admission program at Peking University, you need to consider not only your athletic performance but also your academic performance.
