My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"This place is more comfortable than the dorms provided by the school. I'll go back and ask Takanashi. I'll move here after the exams. I'm planning to stay in Takarazuka for a few days anyway."

I briefly mentioned the plan I had just made.

"President, why don't you talk to Auntie and ask her to move in too? Otherwise, it'll be quite troublesome for you," Shiraishi Sawa said after thinking for a moment. "If all else fails, how about Auntie moves in as well?"

Saying the second half of the sentence against his will, Shiraishi Sawa really didn't want to deal with the elders anymore, and everyone would easily feel uncomfortable when the elders came. Of course, if Nao came, Shiraishi Sawa would probably be the only one who would feel uncomfortable.

Seemingly sensing Shiraishi Sawa's thoughts, Soga Kirei nodded, "I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. If I'm going to stay, I'll try to live alone."

"I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position, Chairman."

"It's alright! My mother isn't very good at communicating with us kids, so she wouldn't choose to move in!"

--

The three of them chatted for a while longer, had dinner together, and then Shiraishi Sawa and Soga Kirei went their separate ways.

The competition starts tomorrow, so almost all the participants have arrived at the school. At least when Shiraishi Sawa returned to the apartment, the first floor was already full of people.

"Takanashi, your dinner..." Shiraishi Sawa's voice abruptly stopped as he returned with a dinner as promised.

Takanashi Yuuko was asleep, her head resting on the table, one hand still holding a page of a book, the page swaying from side to side with her breathing.

Shiraishi Sawa shook his head and sighed. He guessed that Takanashi Yuko had been staring at the book since morning, and it was a miracle that she hadn't become nearsighted after all these years.

He had only not been watching her for a day.

Without much thought, Shiraishi Sawa went over and gently carried Takanashi Yuko to the bed, without trying to wake her.

Based on Shiraishi Sawa's understanding of Takanashi Yuko, once she wakes up, she most likely won't want to go back to sleep.

Having gone through something like that last time, this is just a princess carry, so what's a little contact like this?

In terms of the princess carry experience, Yuko Takanashi's is slightly heavier than Chiyo Ichii's.

After lying down, Shiraishi Zexiu looked around. The clothes he was wearing were all quite thin and wouldn't affect the quality of his sleep. The only thing that might be uncomfortable was the small top he was wearing, which Shiraishi Zexiu didn't dare to take off, so he had to leave it as it was.

I covered her with the blanket and smoothed her slightly furrowed brow, wondering what was troubling Takanashi Yuuko this time.

High-end dormitories often don't have heating appliances like pots and microwaves. Seeing that Takanashi Yuuko wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Shiraishi Sawa went out and managed to eat half of his dinner, feeding the other half to the stray cats and dogs on campus.

After leaving campus, he bought a bowl of instant noodles and many instant noodle companions such as braised eggs and sausages, and returned to his dormitory.

Gently pushing open the door, the pitch-black dormitory room told Shiraishi Sawa that Takanashi Yuuko was still asleep.

The blanket I had tucked her in was now messy again, and she was curled up in a ball, hugging herself tightly, as if she felt extremely insecure.

He gently touched Takanashi Yuuko's forehead to make sure she wasn't sick, then covered her with the blanket again.

Why are his brows furrowed so tightly again? Shiraishi Zexiu once again stretched out his thumb and rubbed them to smooth them out.

"Sigh, I don't understand. For someone like you, there are some things that people would help you if you just spoke up. Why do you keep it all bottled up inside?"

With a sigh and a few soft murmurs, Shiraishi Zexiu got up and groped for a tissue in the darkness.

Who told the girl to cry in her sleep?

Chapter 136 The competition's questions awaken memories.

Endless insults, a group of people pointing fingers at you, even the friends who trust you the most, with each admission of betrayal, their eyes change from trust to estrangement, and finally to the anger of being betrayed, becoming a disgust even stronger than that of strangers.

But none of that is true, but I can't say...

The students and teachers were chasing each other, and Takanashi Yuuko could only run backwards, but it was always the same. She could never escape them and could only watch them get closer and closer, powerless to do anything about it.

Someone please save me! Someone please save me!

Takanashi Yuuko tripped and fell, lying on the ground in pain, looking at the object that had tripped her: a small jade Shakyamuni Buddha statue half-buried in the ground.

She remembered the vow the boy made.

Shiraishi Sawa Hide, please save me.

--

When Takanashi Yuuko opened her eyes, everything was pitch black, so black that she forgot where she was.

Suddenly, a pair of feet came down the ladder next to the bed, followed by a tall boy who slowly descended, moving as quietly as if afraid of waking him.

"It was at Takarazuka Music School. I was reading a book and fell asleep," she said, glancing at the blanket covering her. "So Shiraishi carried me to bed."

Surprisingly, Takanashi Yuko no longer felt so ashamed about being hugged.

When she moved to a new environment, she, who was not used to sleeping in a new bed, would easily recall the past in her dreams. Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the blanket, Takanashi Yuuko got up and fumbled for the light switch.

When Shiraishi Sawa returned from the restroom, he noticed and turned on the switch for her.

In an instant, the world went from pure darkness to bright light, and the huge change made Yuko Takanashi subconsciously raise her hand to block out the light.

"Sorry, I forgot." Shiraishi Sawa turned off the lights in the room, leaving only the light in the entryway to illuminate the interior, and would turn them all back on once Takanashi Yuuko was more used to it.

"It's my fault, I'm sorry, Shiraishi-kun."

"You can't forget our promise just because you just woke up. It's already 8:30. Are you hungry?"

"No..." Takanashi Yuuko's stomach growled at just the right moment. Having just woken up, the embarrassed Yuuko covered her head with the blanket. "Could you please turn off the light, Shiraishi-kun...?"

“It’s not that bad,” Shiraishi Sawah chuckled softly, amused. “I bought you instant noodles, let me make them for you.”

After picking up the dinner he had prepared earlier from the table and mixing the seasoning packets, Shiraishi Sawa went to the outside corridor to get hot water.

When she returned, Takanashi Yuko had already gotten out of bed, her face still flushed with a faint blush. She sat there and, upon seeing Shiraishi Sawa return, went up to take her dinner.

"Thank you so much, Shiraishi-kun! I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Don't ask, the answer is that I'll repay you with my body."

Seeing that he had successfully shut down Takanashi Yuuko's words again, Shiraishi Sawah laughed heartily and climbed back into bed to play on his phone.

“It’s not realistic to ask you to go to bed now, but I estimate you’ll be waking up early again tomorrow, so I’ll change your bedtime to 10:30 tonight. You can wake up early but you can’t stay up late. If you have any objections, please try to overcome them.”

"I understand..." Takanashi Yuko's tone was softer than usual tonight.

Three minutes later, as Takanashi Yuuko took her first bite of instant noodles, the dormitory room was instantly filled with the aroma of instant noodles.

Even though it's only been two hours since I was stuffed, the smell still makes me want to eat.

"Oh, right, the exam room assignments have been released. We're in the same exam room, Kotone Building 101," Takanashi Yuko rummaged through the desk and finally found the piece of paper she wanted. "Shiraishi-kun, your seat number is 019, and mine is 028."

"Why didn't I receive any notification?"

"Someone came to inform us in the afternoon that the top 30% would be selected in the morning, and the entire ranking would be selected in the afternoon."

"I understand. We're in the same exam room, so this ranking is probably based on the previous results."

"I think so too. So it seems our preliminary results weren't particularly high either." Takanashi Yuko was a little discouraged after realizing this.

"It doesn't matter. I've seen how hard you've worked. You can definitely do it."

At 10:30, without any prompting from Shiraishi Sawa, Takanashi Yuko obediently went to bed.

--

As expected by Shiraishi Sawa, when I woke up, Takanashi Yuko was already dressed, washed up, and reading. It was only six o'clock.

As always, I went out for morning exercises and to buy breakfast. Even though there are more people at school now, it was still deserted at this time, except for a number of proctors who were running around.

After taking a shower, Shiraishizawa Hide used the last hour to activate [Super Memory] again and began memorizing the test points outside of the "Zheng Baike" that Takanashi Yuuko and Soga Kirei had compiled over the past few days.

Even after using up this hour, [Super Memory] still accumulated 12 hours.

--

"Let's go to the competition venue." As soon as it was 8:30, Shiraishi Zexiu's phone rang. The exam was at 9:00, so it was about time to leave.

"Holy crap, did I just see a really pretty girl come out of that room?"

"That's a men's dormitory, what are you thinking?"

"No, you mean the one next to that really tall and handsome guy!"

"Holy crap, a boyfriend and girlfriend competing together? Are they trying to kill everyone else?!"

"........"

The exam room was still a computer lab, but it looked more like a dance studio that had been temporarily converted, because the computers were... laptops.

After Shiraishi Sawa took his seat, he saw that the interface was basically the same as last time, but there were some differences. For example, the 100% display in the lower right corner was no longer there, and there were twelve proctors in this exam room.

This further confirms the idea that Shiraishi Zexiu's exam room is the top-ranked exam room based on scores; otherwise, he wouldn't have devoted so much attention to it.

Familiar with the candidate instructions, Shiraishi Zexiu skillfully scrolled to the bottom and clicked "confirm".

A few minutes later, the computer finally started displaying the questions.

With his super memory, Shiraishi Sawa Hide easily solved all the questions in the previous rounds, answering them almost instantly, based on his memory bank.

The difficulty of the questions did not increase at all in the first few rounds, and in this exam room No. 1, only one person left after the first 20 rounds!

The twenty-first round of questions appeared on the interface:

Which of the following famous palaces is located in the United Kingdom?

...

The first few questions were answered quickly, until the last obscure one about the meaning of flowers. There was no record of it in the encyclopedia, or perhaps it was somewhere on the page where Shiraishi Sawa Hideo hadn't looked...

Which of the following is the Chinese flower language of hydrangea?

A: Ruthless | B: Seeking pleasure on the edge of danger | C: Pure | D: Love with endurance

Thinking of the girl who swung her legs on the chair on Qixi Festival, Shiraishi Sawah took a deep breath.

The only correct answer to this question is D.

"The 21st round of questions has ended. The number of questions answered incorrectly so far is 0."

Chapter 137 A Girl's Menstrual Cycle Needs to Be Remembered

"The morning session has ended, and you have successfully entered the top 30%. The afternoon session will begin at 2 PM. Your position will remain the same, but the difficulty of the questions will start from the round that just ended. Please be prepared."

The 30% figure is probably a conclusion reached after many years of this kind of competition, because it's 11:30 now, which is just the right time to go have lunch.

However, in the first-tier classroom where Shiraishi Sawa was located, there were a total of 60 people, and only 13 people left after the morning session ended.
