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

"ah?!"

Hearing Yu Zhe's confused call, Qin Ruoke's face flushed red.

How embarrassing...

Although sitting was uncomfortable, Yu Zhe noticed how awkwardly he was trying to find a comfortable way to sit.

At first, Yu Zhe didn't know what was wrong with her, but seeing her like this, he became playful.

"Pfft... If you're not comfortable sitting here, just remove the cushion. I don't like this cushion either, I removed it a long time ago."

"You...! Cough... You should have told me sooner... I didn't know..."

Yu Zhe deliberately picked up a mat that had already been removed and showed it to Qin Ruoke.

Qin Ruoke was feeling wronged and throwing a little tantrum. It wasn't her fault for being ignorant... She had never seen such a scene before in her previous life.

"Hehe, I know, I know. I'll definitely let you know in advance if this happens again. It's okay, you have to experience things gradually. Let's not talk about this now. So, how did the exam go?"

"The test... went fairly well?"

Qin Ruoke quietly stood up with small movements and placed the cushion under her bottom on the table behind her.

Hmm, this time it's comfortable to sit down.

She regained her usual composure, smoothed her pink hair from her forehead, and sat up straight, looking at Yu Zhe.

"Especially in math, I had absolutely no idea how to solve the last big problem at the beginning. I thought I was doomed, and my mind was a complete mess. But...but...well, I managed to solve it in the end, so I guess I didn't make any major mistakes or have any regrets. I did my best."

She hesitated for a long time before saying anything... Actually, when her mind was at its most chaotic, she simply emptied her brain in the exam room, but Yu Zhe's smiling face naturally appeared in her mind. He smiled and said to her, "Little Ruo Ke, you can do it."

Then Qin Ruoke... actually solved the problem that she thought was hopeless, which was beyond her limits.

Thinking about this made her too embarrassed to look Yu Zhe in the eye.

Anyway... thank you, Yuzhe.

"What?! You actually solved the last little question?!"

"Ah...yes, what's wrong?"

The one who had just stood up in surprise, asking the question with an incredulous expression, was none other than Luo Xiaomeng.

The little girl opened her mouth wide, um...

Even if this cherry-like mouth were opened wide, it couldn't fit an egg.

She clutched her forehead and sighed frantically, "Oh no! It's all over! I was still hoping to get a chance to travel around the world with Yu Zhe and the others, but now I have no hope left!"

Yu Zhe chuckled, resting his chin on his hand. "You didn't finish it?"

"More than that!" Xiao Meng slumped in her chair, her short legs barely touching the ground, looking like a lazy bum. "More than just not being able to solve the last little question... I feel like I got the first part of the last big question wrong, otherwise how would I have come up with a solution? But I just couldn't get it right... Waaah, if only I had more time... But there are no ifs, I'm done for."

Yun'er felt sorry for her and first patted Xiao Meng's shoulder to comfort her.

Then he looked at Qin Ruoke.

She had just been thinking about the last big question, and now that's how it came up.

"Sister Qin, if I haven't miscalculated, isn't the answer to the last question three times the square root of three?"

"Let me think... Hmm, it should be that the plus or minus sign is actually a trap. The correct answer is only positive, and negative signs should be eliminated."

"Phew... thank goodness, I was careful, otherwise I would have lost two more points."

"Yes, Lingyun, you're very smart, you'll definitely notice that."

thump!

Salted fish, flounder!

Xiao Meng, having learned Xiao Lizhi's true skills, slammed her forehead directly onto the table with a loud thud.

"Xiao Meng?!"

Xiaomeng no longer had the strength to respond to Yuzhe's calls.

Listening to the two of them exchanging answers, she felt that the world of gods was so distant and so incompatible with us mortals.

Are you all gods?! Discussing the issue of deducting one or two points.

What I'm considering is whether I'll lose ten or twelve points!

Please, examiners, even if you get every single calculation wrong, at least give me some points for the process and for the word "solution"!

Zixiao isn't actually that devilish.

She smiled wryly across from her and said, "Senior Sister Xiaomeng... don't be so disappointed. There are still many subjects to go. Not doing well in math doesn't necessarily mean you won't do well in the others. Maybe you'll score higher in the other subjects than Senior Sister Qin Ruoke, and that will make up for it?"

"Waaah... Thank you, Zixiao." Xiaomeng looked up with teary eyes, her two blue pigtails hanging down pitifully. "But look at me, look at me, do I look like I could score higher than Qin Ruoke in other subjects?"

"Uh... about... roughly?"

"See!"

Xiao Meng was heartbroken. She had worked so hard for so long, and she really fantasized about using her grades to surpass Qin Ruoke, then coming from behind to travel the world with Yu Zhe, and then during the trip, she and he... blushed and her heart raced!

But now, it's all over!

She could already sense the impending failure even before the results were in!

Looking at her, Yu Zhe had found it amusing at first, but now he felt a little sorry for her.

Without realizing it, he had come to regard Xiaomeng and the others as very important people.

The fact that everyone can go on a trip is a surprise for them on the day the results are announced, so it can't be mentioned now.

But... that doesn't mean we can't comfort her now.

"Xiao Meng, come here."

"Ugh...Eh?"

"Don't just stand there, come here, I've got something good for you."

Everyone looked at Xiaomeng. Although Xiaomeng was confused, she obediently jumped off the chair and walked to Yuzhe's side.

After she stood there, she felt that even losers should have some presence.

She put her two little hands on her hips, looking both cute and fierce.

"Hmph! You're trying to trick me again! I... I might not be worse than them, and I haven't even finished the exam yet... Ugh!"

Come here!

Xiao Meng was stunned, and so were the others.

Yu Zhe actually put his arm around Xiao Meng's waist and pulled her directly into his arms.

That is, sitting on Yu Zhe's lap, being hugged from behind by him.

"How about that? This is a special treatment only for Yu Che. Today is a special favor for you since you didn't finish the last big question. Cheer up! No matter how well or poorly you did, at least you're free now, right?"

"Yes...yes?"

Xiao Meng rubbed her back against Yu Zhe's chest.

Hey, don't tell me.

She now had a strange illusion.

I didn't solve the last big problem...

that is really good!

4. One more thing

This...isn't this treatment a bit too good?!

Zixiao, who was standing nearby, wondered when the lemon platter, which was to be served as an appetizer, would be served.

She wants to eat a lemon one bite at a time!

If she were a little smaller... like Yu Che, could she also be held like this?

The others probably thought the same way, otherwise Xiaomeng wouldn't have suddenly felt this invisible pressure coming from all directions.

This isn't my fault! Yu Zhe carried me over on his own initiative!

Xiao Meng simply closed her eyes, relaxed all her strength, leaned against Yu Zhe's chest, and felt light as a feather.

There is no greater reward than this after an exam.

Yu Zhe was generous with his encouragement. He was very good with numbers. If we count from the time of the sports meet, and from the time when Xiao Meng started to like him, it has been exactly ten months now.

This little guy has been persistent, going to great lengths to pursue you for almost a year during the most stressful time of his studies, coming up with new ideas every day. How can this not be touching?

Everyone says perfection is the best, and I hope your exam results will also be perfect, so you'll have no regrets before university.

Unbeknownst to him, Yu Zhe was already affectionately playing with Xiao Meng's hair from behind. He hadn't noticed before, but her hair felt quite fluffy and soft.

Comfortable.

Xiao Meng never expected such increasingly better treatment. A blush gradually rose on both sides of her cheeks as she kept muttering the word "like" to herself. If things continued like this...

She's afraid she won't be able to control herself!

Even though she's short, she has big ambitions and really wants to turn around and push Yu Zhe down!

Seeing that the silly little girl's breathing was getting more and more rapid, Zixiao, who was sitting next to her, seized the opportunity to cough twice to quickly interrupt the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere.

"Ahem! Brother, that's enough. There are still so many people here... This is a bit inappropriate."

"Hmm? Sorry, sorry, that was abrupt. Alright, Xiaomeng, go back and sit down. Your surprise is over."

"That's all?!"

"What else do you want?"

"No...nothing's wrong, okay..."

Quite disappointed?

Yu Zhe slowly leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Don't be disappointed, next time, you can decide how long you sit!"

"!"
