The short lunch break is over, and it's time to face a new exam.

As soon as Shen Ye went upstairs and was about to enter the examination room, he was blocked at the corner of the corridor by Liu Gaoyuan, who had been lying in wait for a long time.

"Brother Ye, can I talk to you about something?"

Liu Gaoyuan rubbed his hands together like flies, his face beaming with smiles.

Shen Ye could tell at a glance that this guy wasn't holding back any nice words.

They usually call each other "Old Shen" and "Shen Ye", but now they've started calling each other "Brother Ye".

Her fawning expression gave him goosebumps.

"Speak, what is it?"

"It's like this, Brother Ye..." Liu Gaoyuan whispered in Shen Ye's ear to prevent others from hearing, "I was sitting right next to you during the exam, could you please be so kind as to let me peek for a bit?"

Shen Ye looked at him with disdain: "Why did you have to learn cheating of all things?"

"Please, Brother Ye!" Liu Gaoyuan clasped his hands together and bowed to Shen Ye.

"Just let me copy it! If I don't get good grades this time, they're confiscating my phone!"

"You wouldn't want me to be unable to share my study materials, would you?"

He winked at Shen Ye teasingly, his smile carrying a knowing meaning.

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because Shen Ye gets angry as soon as it's brought up.

What kind of stuff are you posting!

Do you know how much those videos hurt me?!

But even though I'm angry, I still have to lend a hand to my good brother.

"I'll put the paper over there after I finish writing. Whether you can copy it or not depends on your skills," Shen Ye sighed.

"Thanks! I'll send you the nice one when I get back."

"If you dare post that, I'll block you!"

......

The total score for the seven subjects in the first-year junior high school monthly exam in Huaihai City is 760.

Chinese, Mathematics, and English each account for 120 points, while Politics, History, Geography, and Biology each account for 100 points.

Shen Ye estimated that he could score around 740 or 750.

A perfect score is impossible.

No matter how perfectly you answer questions in subjects like Chinese and history, the examiners will always find a way to deduct one or two points from you.

Reading comprehension involves a bit of metaphysics.

Even if you give the article to the author himself, you won't get a perfect score.

Shen Ye had long since stopped insisting on such trivial details.

"It's safe! It's safe!"

After finishing the last exam in the afternoon and leaving the exam room, Liu Gaoyuan started yelling like a monkey.

This drew the attention of everyone in the corridor.

Immediately afterward, the door to the classroom next door opened, and a proctor leaned out: "Hey, you! Yes, you! No loud noises in public! Come here!"

Liu Gaoyuan's smile froze instantly.

He stood frozen in place as if he had been struck by a pressure point, while the students around him covered their mouths and laughed.

The teacher called out again, and he finally moved over reluctantly, head drooping as he listened to the reprimand.

"It seems the monkey's companions are also monkeys."

Shen Ye was initially enjoying watching his best friend suffer, but the familiar girl's voice pulled him back to reality.

He turned his head to look beside him—

The tall and slender Mu Jingyan had already walked up to him without him noticing.

The girl was carrying test papers and a pencil case. Although she was completely covered by her school uniform, her overly delicate face and height, which was far beyond that of her peers, still attracted attention.

Mu Jingyan's gaze swept between Shen Ye, who was leaning against the railing, and Liu Gaoyuan, who was being scolded.

After thinking for a moment, she spoke:

"Your name is Monkey Big, and his name is Monkey Two."

"I'm warning you, don't take this personally!" Shen Ye tilted his head and pointed at someone.

"Does stating facts count as a personal attack? Besides, the nicknames 'Big Monkey' and 'Second Monkey' are quite cute." Mu Jingyan covered her mouth and chuckled.

Shen Ye remained silent.

Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the word "cute"?

"You saying Lao Liu is like a monkey is one thing, but what's with saying I am? What do I have in common with a monkey?"

Mu Jingyan looked him over, then suddenly stood up straight.

As soon as this action was made, Shen Ye felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The girl lowered her head slightly to look down at Shen Ye, and blurted out without thinking: "ADHD, talkative, shameless..."

She paused, then shifted her gaze to the top of Shen Ye's head, and slowly added a third jab: "He's not even as tall as me."

"..."

Shen Ye opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

He could argue about the first few, but the last one...

He is truly not as good as Mu Jingyan.

He's grown a bit since starting junior high, and is now about 1.74 meters tall.

But Mu Jingyan has grown a bit too.

He was still two centimeters shorter than Mu Jingyan.

These two centimeters are like an insurmountable chasm.

Is Mu Jingyan on steroids or did she eat some kind of magic bean?

The little robot is only a little over 1.6 meters tall.

Shen Ye remained silent for a long time before finally managing to say, "Your victory was unfair. Let me develop for a few years."

"Heh, then please look forward to it." Mu Jingyan said in a very flippant tone.

It was obvious that they looked down on Shen Ye.

She even moved closer to Shen Ye in a serious manner, made two gestures above her head, and then provocatively made a gesture similar to OK, but with her index finger and thumb spaced two centimeters apart.

Can you tolerate someone using their ultimate skill right in front of you?

Shen Ye actually tolerated it.

Hmph, Mu Jingyan, your smugness won't last long.

Once the results come out in a couple of days, I'll show you how to rub your head in pain!

"Are you fantasizing about how to turn things around again?"

Mu Jingyan seemed to have X-ray vision, able to guess what Shen Ye was thinking just from his micro-expressions.

"By the way, I did very well this time, and I should be able to score around 730."

Mu Jingyan casually tilted her head, then sharply flicked her long, straight black hair backward.

This is a gesture she often makes when she is absolutely confident.

"So you should give up your fantasies and focus on your studies. Maybe you can surpass me next time."

Shen Ye lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to discern the boy's emotions.

Mu Jingyan thought he was upset, so she stopped talking and turned to go downstairs.

At this point, Liu Gaoyuan also managed to escape from his teacher.

He wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and patted Shen Ye on the shoulder.

"Oh my god, that teacher was so mean! I only shouted once, and she scolded me for ages! She went from public order to personal conduct, and then to the school's image. I was practically falling asleep listening to her..."

Liu Gaoyuan complained for a long time with a string of witty remarks, but Shen Ye suddenly ignored him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" He nudged Shen Ye's shoulder.

Seeing that the other party did not react, she waved again right under Shen Ye's nose.

"puff--"

Shen Ye finally made a move.

The boy's shoulders trembled, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

But in the end, I couldn't resist.

"Hahahaha—" Shen Ye burst into laughter.

Liu Gaoyuan was completely bewildered.

What happened?

Why did my son become mentally impaired when I wasn't around for a while?

"I actually managed to hold it in."

After a long while, Shen Ye stopped smiling and straightened up.

Then another sentence came out that left Liu Gaoyuan completely bewildered.

It seems he really is stupid.

Liu Gaoyuan looked at Shen Ye with pity.

"How's your copying going?" Shen Ye ignored his gaze and leaned against the railing again.

"It's safe."

"Aren't you going to thank your father?"

"Go! Go! Go."

Liu Gaoyuan's main tactic is to turn his back on someone after using them.
