"You haven't been brainwashed by your mom, have you?"

These words made Mu Jingyan pause at the tip of her pen.

She looked up at Shen Ye, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I haven't been brainwashed."

"Then why do you only know how to study all day?" Shen Ye said. "Look at your current schedule. If you keep going like this, you'll collapse from exhaustion sooner or later."

"No," Mu Jingyan shook her head. "I can manage."

"You can't possibly hold on to that." Shen Ye rolled his eyes. "Do you think you're made of iron? Even iron gets rusty."

Mu Jingyan didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and continued doing her homework.

Shen Ye looked at her stubborn expression and felt somewhat helpless.

"Fine, fine, you can keep studying." Shen Ye sighed. "I'm not going to bother with you anymore."

Mu Jingyan did not respond, but continued to bury herself in her work.

Shen Ye leaned back in his chair, flipping through his textbook with a bored expression.

The noise in the classroom gradually subsided, and morning self-study officially began.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the classroom door.

Class teacher Miao Yongmei walked in.

She was wearing a dark business suit today, with a serious expression on her face.

All eyes in the class turned to him.

Miao Yongmei walked to the front of the classroom, glanced around, and then began to speak:

"Students, please be quiet."

Her voice was very serious.

There's only a little over a month left until the high school entrance exam.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the students in the classroom stopped moving.

Everyone stared at Miao Yongmei, waiting for her to continue.

"A little over a month is neither a long nor a short time," Miao Yongmei continued. "For students with good grades, this is an opportunity to consolidate their advantages; for students with average grades, this is their last chance to turn things around."

Her gaze lingered on a few students for a moment.

"I hope everyone can make the most of this time, study hard, and strive to get into their ideal high school."

"Especially the students in our class, you are the top students in the grade and the hope of the school. I hope you will live up to the expectations of the school and your parents and achieve excellent results in the high school entrance examination."

Miao Yongmei's voice was very solemn.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Now, everyone, continue studying."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the classroom.

The classroom was quiet for a few seconds, then returned to its previous noise.

I thought it was something serious, but it turns out to be just these same old topics again.

Since the beginning of the third year of junior high school, the students have heard this so many times that they're sick of it.

Shen Ye leaned back in his chair, his mind replaying what Miao Yongmei had just said.

There's only a little over a month left until the high school entrance exam.

time flies.

He's already fifteen years old.

He turned to look at Mu Jingyan beside him. The girl was still engrossed in her homework and seemed unaffected by Miao Yongmei's words.

Shen Ye thought for a moment and then asked:

"Hey, deskmate."

Mu Jingyan looked up at him, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Which high school are you planning to go to?" Shen Ye asked.

Mu Jingyan was stunned for a moment.

She thought for a moment, then instead of answering, asked:

"And you? Which high school do you want to go to?"

"Me?" Shen Ye thought for a moment, "Most likely Huaihai No.1 High School."

Huaihai No.1 High School is the best high school in the city, and the number of students admitted to key universities every year is the highest in the city.

With Shen Ye's grades, going there is a sure thing.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jingyan nodded.

"That's good," she said.

"And what about you?" Shen Ye pressed, "Which high school do you want to go to?"

Mu Jingyan remained silent.

She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the textbook on the table, her expression somewhat complicated.

Shen Ye observed her reaction and had some guesses in his mind.

"You don't...haven't thought it through yet, do you?"

"Or does your mother already have a plan?"

Mu Jingyan shook her head.

"I also want to go to Huaihai No.1 High School."

"Oh?" Shen Ye was a little surprised, but also a little happy. "That's perfect, we can be classmates again."

Mu Jingyan raised her head and glanced at him.

"Who wants to be your classmate?" she said casually.

"Tch, you don't want to?" Shen Ye laughed. "Then why did you go to Huaihai No. 1 High School?"

Mu Jingyan snorted, lowered her head, and continued working on her problems.

Shen Ye looked at her slightly pouting lips and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey deskmate, are you shy?"

"No," Mu Jingyan denied, but her voice was clearly flustered.

"Really not?" Shen Ye leaned closer. "Then why are your ears red?"

"Shut up!" Mu Jingyan glared at him, her face turning bright red.

Shen Ye looked at her puffed-up face and laughed again.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

He looked away and picked up his textbook, flipping through a few pages.

But not long after, he couldn't help but speak up again.

"Hey, deskmate, do you know how to do this problem?"

Mu Jingyan looked up at the question he was pointing to.

Which one?

"This one," Shen Ye pointed to a math problem in the textbook, "I can't seem to get the answer right no matter how I calculate it."

Mu Jingyan took the textbook and carefully looked at the questions.

The solution to this problem is...

She began to explain to Shen Ye, her voice calm and earnest.

Shen Ye listened, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.

Mu Jingyan looked quite beautiful as she earnestly explained things.

She had long eyelashes, bright eyes, and slightly pursed lips, exuding an air of seriousness and focus.

As Shen Ye watched, he suddenly spoke:

"Hey deskmate, you're pretty good-looking."

Mu Jingyan froze, and her explanation came to an abrupt halt.

She looked up, somewhat surprised, at Shen Ye.

"What did you say?"

"I'm saying you're good-looking." Shen Ye said matter-of-factly, "Is there a problem?"

Mu Jingyan's face turned red instantly.

"You, you..."

"What did I do?" Shen Ye asked innocently. "I was just praising you."

Mu Jingyan gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.

"Shen Ye, can't you be serious for once?"

"I'm being very serious," Shen Ye said. "I just think you're pretty, what's wrong with that?"

Mu Jingyan stopped looking at him.

"Hey deskmate, your ears are red again."

"Shut up!" Mu Jingyan glared at him, her voice slightly annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

The two were quiet for a while, and then began to discuss the questions under the guise of being study partners.

Shen Ye held up the textbook and pointed to the questions on it, asking Mu Jingyan.

Mu Jingyan explained earnestly, her voice calm and focused.

But Shen Ye couldn't help but interject with a few teasing remarks, making Mu Jingyan blush time and time again.

The answer to this question is...

"Wait, wait, wait! Something's happened!"

"What's going on?"

Were you spying on me just now?

"I don't!"

"You were, you were definitely spying on me."

"Shut up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, you can continue."

Mu Jingyan gritted her teeth and continued explaining.

But not long after, Shen Ye spoke again.

"Hey, your eyes light up when you're explaining something!"

"Shut up!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up." Shen Ye grinned.

He found Mu Jingyan's annoyed expression extremely amusing.

"You look kind of cute when you're angry, deskmate."

"Shen Ye!" Mu Jingyan finally couldn't hold back anymore, her voice sharp, "Be serious!"

"I'm being very serious," Shen Ye said innocently. "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"..."

Really speechless.

Mu Jingyan thought to herself.

Even though he's fifteen years old, his personality is still like a child's.
