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

They were driven back.

Yu Zhe didn't let them go over mainly because he wanted to give Xiao Ruoke an undisturbed "harvest moment".

Of course, he himself didn't go there either.

Her gaze drifted toward Qin Ruoke, who looked like a frightened little hamster, her hand covering her phone screen, her cherry-blossom eyes beneath her pink hair flashing with uncertain, panicked light, as if facing a formidable enemy!

Hey... I really miss her like this.

Time flies. Thinking back to the last time I saw her with this expression, it was... cough, it was a year ago.

Back then, she was just as apprehensive, feeling insecure about everything in the world and distrustful of everything she could see.

Her struggle against an unfortunate life and her resistance to a predetermined fate—her brilliance—was already etched in the rainy night when Yu Zhe saved her, and also in the eternity of Yu Zhe's memory.

If you ask whether Yuzhe feels nervous about her current grades?

That's for sure. It's an irresistible joy to see the girl you cherish smile.

But if you ask whether Yu Zhe has any doubts about whether Xiao Ruoke can achieve good results,

?

Sorry, no, that's not the case.

How could a girl who had long declared war on fate and never yielded possibly fail when she was finally about to reap the rewards?

That's absolutely impossible.

Under Yu Zhe's warm gaze.

Qin Ruoke had completely removed her hand from her phone.

A slight smile appeared...

Ah... that smile is just too charming for Yu Zhe.

He witnessed the entire process of Xiao Ruoke revealing this smile.

This is a smile that is entrusted to the soul and time.

Yu Zhe could no longer contain his excitement; the arc of his silver hair seemed to streak across the air like a silver streak of light.

Let bygones be bygones; now is Ruoke's moment of glory!

"How many points?"

"Not high..."

"How much is it, not much?" Yu Zhe knew she was getting all high and mighty, so he simply plopped down next to her. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

This time, Qin Ruoke unusually did not shrink back to dodge.

At this moment, she was willing to share with the one and only "white moonlight" in her life.

This time, she held the phone steadily in her hand, showing her confidence now that she knew the results!

She flipped her phone over to cover the report card on the front and handed it to Yu Zhe.

"So now you're showing me your grades on your own initiative?"

"Hmm...see for yourself."

okay.

Xiao Ruoke, I'm going to take a look at all your... all your subject scores now.

Turning Qin Ruoke's phone, which she had wiped until it gleamed with a towel, to the front, the still-lit grade query page was reflected directly in Yu Zhe's eyes.

Then...

Zixiao and the others saw the same surprise on Yu Zhe's face as when Qin Ruoke saw the results... and then slowly turning into joy.

"Brother? How many points! Did you surpass Sister Xiaomeng's score?!"

"I remember something," Yun'er said, her memory sharp. "Didn't Sister Xiaomeng and Sister Ruoke say they wanted to compare their grades before they went on the trip? So who would win and who would lose?"

Yu Zhe stared at the score and pondered it carefully, saying, "This isn't about who won or lost... Goodness, Ruo Ke, I don't know how to praise you anymore, how about... a kiss?"

"You...you...stop messing around!!"

Hehe, I was just kidding.

Even Yu Zhe wouldn't dare kiss Xiao Ruo Ke in front of Zi Xiao, Yu Che, and Yun Er; if he did, things would get out of control.

Filled with pride, Yu Zhe opened his phone and smiled broadly in the direction of Zi Xiao and the others.

"726, number one in the city! Alright, we're honored to have the city's number one guest at our celebration banquet tomorrow!"

"Hey Yuzhe... don't say that, it's kind of embarrassing..."

"What's there to be embarrassed about! First place is first place. Even if you've gotten first place before, have you ever scored this high?"

"No...no, I don't think so."

"That is, to realize your dream."

"..."

Yes, my dream came true.

Qin Ruoke took the phone back, pressed it to her chest, and her beautiful cheeks were flushed with happiness.

A year ago, she imagined the day she would become the top scorer in the national college entrance examination.

Six months ago, she doubted whether she could live up to her expectations.

Even though she has changed a lot, she has not changed her heart, which is worthy of her own life, even though she is now being watched by Yu Zhe!

This is what makes it so precious.

Meanwhile, the others were simply stunned by the outrageous results.

After a long delay, they all rushed over to look at Qin Ruoke's phone!

"Senior Ruoke! Congratulations! Congratulations so much!"

"Is this what a genius is like? He scored more than a hundred points higher than me! A hundred... uh, that's even more outrageous."

Zi Xiaoyun chatted with Qin Ruoke, while Yu Che slowly walked to Yu Zhe's side. (Monthly fee group 694936135)

Silently holding Yu Zhe's little finger in his hand, Yu Che, the little guy, also had many feelings.

"Brother, do you regret not taking the college entrance exam? There are no results available now."

"What's there to regret? I still have to get up early to take the college entrance exam. I'm so lazy, it's not suitable for me~"

"Liar~" Yu Che's palm even rubbed Yu Zhe's fingers. "You can fool others, but can you fool me? If you were to take the college entrance exam, you definitely wouldn't go easy on me. If you didn't go easy on me, the top spot in the city would be a foregone conclusion. You want to fulfill Qin Ruoke's wish at the end of high school, right?"

"Shh... Don't tell her this! Otherwise, she'll definitely make me do the college entrance exam paper too!"

"He confessed without being asked."

Yu Che tilted her head and smiled happily.

Yes, yes, that's right, my brother is just that gentle.

The girls he loves are all naturally happy little angels.

Just keep the joy to yourself!

"I don't need to check my brother's grades; in my heart, they'll always be perfect!"

"You talk too much..."

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

Joy is a process and doesn't last long.

Yu Zhe immediately reported their college entrance examination results to the other girls. They said that they would definitely come to celebrate with them whenever the celebration banquet was held!

The main purpose is to celebrate Xiao Ruoke and Xiao Meng, who are basically guaranteed to go to university based on their grades.

Yun'er has decided that she will go to Su's Group to help with management after this summer vacation.

then.

Under this premise

The next key issue has already emerged.

After they had all finished their enthusiastic discussion about grades, Yu Zhe asked Qin Ruoke for her return alone.

I called her over when I arrived.

"Xiao Ruoke, wait a minute."

"Huh? Yu Zhe... Zi Xiao and the others have already praised me to the point of madness, please don't praise me anymore... I think it's really not easy to get this result, but but! I absolutely can't get cocky! There's still a long road ahead!"

No lecturing today - relax.

It seems that Xiao Ruoke is really happy.

She is usually quiet, but when she becomes talkative, it means that her mood is also high.

But what Yu Zhe is about to mention... might be something that will cool her down.

Yu Zhe temporarily suppressed his smile and, adopting a normal demeanor when discussing a problem, slowly asked.

"What I meant was... now that the results are out, the next step is to choose universities, right? This time... you can't say 'we'll talk about it after the results are out' again."

"..."

16. You tried your best.

Qin Ruoke's smile was like the spring breeze of April meeting the cold current of December.

It froze instantly.

Her reaction was exactly what Yu Zhe had anticipated.

But... this time I can't let her say "we'll talk about it next time" again.

This time, it's a decision that must be made.

"The results are out, so it's fine if you have a few more days to consider... but you need to understand, if you're still in this ambiguous state before the application deadline, then..."

In that case, Xiao Ruoke might very well have let herself down.
