Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"Replying to your question, young master, my sister and I are writing down the ingredients you mentioned for dinner. We'll go shopping in advance. Besides what you just mentioned, is there anything else we need? Do we still have any white sugar at home?"

"Lu Ling... and Lu Yao, have you two become more and more 'thoughtful and meticulous' lately?"

"Hehe... No, young master, you flatter me. This is what we should do."

"Thank you for the compliment..."

I wasn't praising you!

It's true... Yu Zhe thinks these two sisters have gotten a bit cocky since coming to school. They sit close to him and always prepare extra-comprehensive things he might need, even if they're just casually mentioning them in conversation.

The refrigerator was full of all kinds of food yesterday, which is solid proof.

Okay, if this continues, it's probably not Yu Zhe who will be saying anything to them, but Zi Xiao who will get angry.

Zixiao was furious that her usual job of buying groceries had been taken away!

Thinking about all this, Yu Zhe patted the two of them on the shoulder with a helpless expression: "You two... good luck to yourselves."

"?"

They don't understand; they're satisfied as long as they buy the ingredients.

Just then, the school bell rang, and the homeroom teacher, Fang Lan, strode into the classroom with a smart and capable demeanor.

This gait was different from usual, as if something sudden had happened!

And what she said next confirmed this.

"Class, quiet down, class is starting. The next two periods were originally supposed to be self-study, but at the request of our math department head, I've decided to change them into a surprise math test! There will be no break in between, and the timing is just right. This time, you won't have time to prepare in advance; otherwise, it wouldn't be a surprise test."

"This is the last semester before the college entrance exam. We haven't had a proper test since the start of the semester, so let's count this as one! The scope, difficulty, and question types of the test are similar to those of previous college entrance exams. Everyone, do your best and give it your all. Let me check your condition. Come on, clear your desks. Just take out your paper and pens. I'll give you scratch paper."

If it were placed in another class,

People were already starting to complain.

Surprise exams are always something that makes your heart skip a beat.

But Class S in the senior year is different; they're happy during exams!

The more self-study sessions I have, the more anxious I feel, and I don't even know how well I'm learning. I suggest having more exams to test your abilities!

This might be the leisure that top students have.

The whole class quickly and efficiently finished cleaning their desks, waiting for the test papers to be distributed from the front row.

Yu Zhe hadn't expected a test to come out of nowhere, and his first reaction was to turn around and whisper some instructions.

"Yun'er, don't be nervous. Just relax like you did when you were doing practice problems the other day. And Lu Ling and Lu Yao too, students have to take exams, right?"

If we exclude Yun'er's entrance exam, it's been about ten years since any of the three of them have experienced taking exams.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuzhe, I have to try my best to do well on the exam. I walked into the classroom with you when I transferred here. This is the first exam with grades, and I can't let you down."

"Young Master, there's no need to worry." "Don't worry..."

They all seem to be in good shape.

On the contrary, it was Xiao Ruoke, who had the most exam experience...

Yu Zhe turned to look at her.

Qin Ruoke's expression was serious; she looked quite nervous.

Well... the college entrance exam is coming up soon, and she encountered so many questions she couldn't answer in the library just now, so she can't possibly relax too much.

Oh my, isn't that a coincidence? Yu Zhe seems to have come up with a good idea to help her calm down.

5. What's wrong with you?!

Just one sentence, and I guarantee it will help Qin Ruoke get back into form.

"Little Ruoke, Little Ruoke~"

Yu Zhe tapped the table twice, causing Qin Ruoke, filled with anxiety about the exam, to turn around stiffly and confusedly.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Yu Zhe saying something infuriating in a teasing tone.

"You don't seem to be in the right frame of mind. Don't panic, it's okay if you lack confidence. I'll give you the paper after I finish the questions, and you can just copy it."

"what?!"

Qin Ruoke's innate and powerful self-esteem, which had never diminished, was aching slightly.

She was about to refute him righteously when she suddenly realized what he meant.

Is Yu Zhe using a "trick"?

He probably said that on purpose to make her feel more relaxed...

He can even tell what's going on in my current state... He's just too gentle.

And you know what, it really worked. She had only been angry for a moment, but she felt much more sober afterward.

The tension was replaced by the desire to prove to Yuzhe that she could do well on the exam.

So Qin Ruoke took a deep breath and gave a rare, slight smile. Then she spoke.

"Thanks..."

You're welcome~

Wow, it seems to be working?

Regardless of whether it works or not, that's all Yu Zhe can do to help her, because the test papers have already been handed out on the table.

...................

"Okay, everyone put down your pens and pass the test papers from the last row to the front. After you hand in your papers, you can leave school. I will send the electronic transcripts to the group tomorrow. Everyone can review and fill in any gaps in their knowledge. Time is running out, so everyone should work hard."

Fang Lan stood up from the podium and supervised the final collection of exam papers.

After handing the test paper to the student in front of him, Yu Zhe stood up briskly, stretched, and turned around.

"Let's go, let's go. Yun'er, come with me to the second year of high school. Then Zixiao will go back together. What are your plans for Lu Ling and Lu Yao? And what about Xiao Ruoke? Does she want to go back with us?"

Mo Lingyun went without saying, while Lu Ling and Lu Yao said they were going to buy ingredients and they could go back on their own later.

The only one who needs to agonize over this is Qin Ruoke.

She actually... had planned to go to the library after school to read some books and do some practice problems, since the environment there was quiet and she could learn quickly.

But after Yu Zhe said that, she immediately wavered.

Going home with Yuzhe... I really don't want to miss even one of these times.

So, in the end, all she could say was, "Okay, let's go back together then."

"okay."

Hey!

Qin Ruoke had no choice; she was driven by a force that urged her to seize every opportunity to be with Yu Zhe.

You can learn at home... so don't overthink it.

Yu Zhe led the group to the classroom door, and was startled as soon as they stepped outside!

"Whoa! Xiaomeng, what are you doing?!"

Good heavens! I had just stepped out of the classroom when I turned around and saw this little girl with a backpack standing in the corner. Suddenly, she turned around and looked up into Yu Zhe's eyes.

So easily startled!

It's like there's some major event to announce.

What? Are you also taking a crash test?

"Yu Zhe!" Xiao Meng clenched her little fist and gently punched Yu Zhe's chest. "I have something important to tell you tomorrow, so you have to come to school!"

"Coming to school is no problem...can't we tell you now?"

"Now?!"

For some reason, Luo Xiaomeng, who was clearly talking to herself, suddenly twitched her blue twin ponytails and blushed.

"How could I possibly do this now! Anyway... I'll definitely do it tomorrow! I... I have to go now! Goodnight!"

Good night?!

Pfft... This child is clearly so nervous that he can't even speak properly.

After saying that, she turned around and ran away in a flash, disappearing around the corner of the corridor in no time.

It's completely different from how she came in last place during the sports meet.

Watching her retreating figure as she ran away... Yu Zhe could more or less guess what she wanted to say tomorrow.

As for how to answer... let's think about it today, so we don't run into problems later.

The whole thing was caught off guard.

He pondered for a while until he heard Yun'er's somewhat dissatisfied voice behind him.

"Brother Yuzhe, stop looking..."

"Hmm? Okay, let's go home. Zixiao said she's already waiting outside. We can just go and meet her."

"it is good!"

As Mo Lingyun followed Yu Zhe away, she also looked back at the direction Luo Xiaomeng had fled in.

No wonder she's a troublesome presence for Sister Yuche; she initially thought Yuche was simple-minded and posed no threat.

But when this little girl gets shy... she's kind of cute, but she also has a really tenacious spirit that won't give up until she gets what she wants.

Well... Mo Lingyun doesn't need to worry too much about dealing with her; just leave it to Sister Yu Che. After all, she and Luo Xiaomeng are the only two little girls around~

Qin Ruoke, who hasn't fully left the classroom yet, is probably the most anxious.

Luo Xiaomeng... what does she want to say to Yu Zhe tomorrow?

She really cares, after all, her position is actually similar to Xiaomeng's, both of them only have one semester left.

So I'll pay more attention tomorrow... Qin Ruoke subconsciously felt that what Xiaomeng was going to say tomorrow was also very important to her.
