After rebirth, they all moved into my house.

"Let me help." Xu Ruolin went back to the bathroom in the bedroom to wash his hands, and then sat next to Gu Jiuyi.

She glanced at Ye Yuhan, not knowing whether this woman sat next to Lu Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, Ruolin, just help us peel the remaining two." Gu Jiuyi brought the crabs to Xu Ruolin and gave her the tools.

"We pick out the crab meat when eating hairy crabs. What are we eating tonight?" Xu Ruolin asked with a smile.

"Crab roe buns and egg-filled pancakes. I bought a bag of flour." Lu Yuan answered while carefully picking up the crab meat.

I haven’t finished eating the lamb and goose liver I brought with me, so I’ll take this opportunity to finish them all.

"Oh." Xu Ruolin nodded.

After peeling the crabs and throwing the empty shells into the trash can, Lu Yuan took the meat back to the kitchen, and Gu Jiuyi also went in to help fry the foie gras.

Ye Yuhan and Xu Ruolin knew they couldn't help, so they tactfully didn't go in to disturb the two.

It's just that I'm very unwilling.

However, Ye Yuhan was not discouraged. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and at the moment, only Xu Ruolin was under pressure.

She glanced at Xu Ruolin and teased, "Aren't you going in?"

Xu Ruolin rolled his eyes at her and sighed, "I can't cook."

"Really?" Ye Yuhan smiled softly, "I heard that girls who can cook are more popular with boys. Is that true?"

Xu Ruolin was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists, staring at Ye Yuhan with all his embarrassment, and said insincerely, "You mean I like him?"

Ye Yuhan shook her head. "I was just wondering, if Lu Yuan confessed his feelings to you, would you agree?"

Xu Ruolin was stunned for a moment, then clenched her fists. She didn't know why Ye Yuhan asked this, whether he simply wanted to piss her off, or if he had some other ulterior motive.

So she was silent for a long time before answering this question.

"Probably... not."

This is a lie, a lie that has to be told.

She wanted to maintain the same look as she had three years ago, but the problem was that Ye Yuhan now probably understood her three years ago better than Lu Yuan did.

Even though she almost exposed herself from time to time recently because of Gu Jiuyi's appearance, she knew that she must not be exposed on such a critical issue.

Although it doesn't matter if he exposes it to Ye Yuhan, if Ye Yuhan is surprised by his transformation and his attitude towards him changes significantly, Lu Yuan will inevitably notice it.

After all, we live under the same roof.

So her answer was no.

Ye Yuhan nodded after hearing Xu Ruolin's answer. Xu Ruolin's answer was just as she expected, so she continued to fan the flames. "I think Lu Yuan is a good guy. Anyway, it's time for you to realize what kind of person you are. You're clearly socially anxious, no, you clearly don't like to communicate with others. It's rare to have such a handsome classmate and neighbor who you're so close to, and whose grades are on par with yours. Why don't you try to get closer to him?"

After hearing Ye Yuhan's words, Xu Ruolin's face suddenly darkened.

It was because after sitting at the same table with Lu Yuan for two and a half years that she no longer stopped communicating with others like she used to.

So it is really tiring to maintain the same appearance as before, and Xu Ruolin also realized that his previous self really missed a lot of beautiful things. The feeling of being alone in school and being in a group of people is different.

In this life, I can still make blackboard newspapers with Lu Yuan. Those days after school were really happy.

Xu Ruolin was really happy to be back.

But now is not the time to sigh, she still has to deal with Ye Yuhan.

"Since you speak so highly of him, why don't you try to please him?" Xu Ruolin glanced at Ye Yuhan.

"Why should I please them? It should be them who please me." Ye Yuhan laughed disdainfully.

"..."

Xu Ruolin opened his mouth, somewhat dumbfounded.

Indeed, Ye Yuhan is different from herself, she really doesn't need to please other boys.

But this doesn't mean that all boys will listen to her.

"Then if you meet a boy you like, you have the guts to not try to please him. If you try to please him or force him to do something he doesn't want to do, I'll be there to laugh at you as soon as I find out." Xu Ruolin sneered.

"Then will you come to stop me?" Ye Yuhan raised his eyebrows and asked with narrowed eyes.

Xu Ruolin looked at her with a somewhat provocative look, "No, I can't. I can only watch the show."

Ye Yuhan turned her head slightly to look at Xu Ruolin.

"Okay."

14. Go to Gu Jiuyi's house

After finishing dinner, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Normally, this was already the time for evening classes, but the four people present had applied for exemption, so no one was surprised that others were not going to school.

In the next two days, Lu Yuan tutored Gu Jiuyi frantically.

After all, the monthly exam for the first year of high school consists of nine subjects, which are completed in three days.

However, Lu Yuan still had not seen Xu Ruolin and Ye Yuhan reviewing, which made him feel a little surprised.

So on Tuesday night, he couldn't help but ask.

"The first monthly exam is coming up soon. How are you all studying?"

Although the first monthly exam was based on what I had learned, I only had a little time to review after finishing my homework the night before the exam.

But the two people around him, one was the top student in their freshman year and the other was the top student in their sophomore year. Lu Yuan didn't believe that their self-study progress would lag behind the teaching progress.

Ye Yuhan swiped her finger across the screen and laughed casually, "Why would you need to review for an exam like this?"

"Wow." Lu Yuan was surprised to see Ye Yuhan's relaxed attitude.

"It's just a little bit of stuff. If you study hard normally, what's the problem?" Ye Yuhan said disdainfully, "Cramming at the last minute is not a good habit. Of course, I don't mean to say that Gu Jiuyi's behavior is wrong. After all, she just transferred in and her situation is special, so I can understand it. Once you catch up, you must study hard and don't cram at the last minute."

Xu Ruolin flipped through the pages of his book, making a rustling sound. "That's true. Exams are meant to help you see your true abilities, not to see how many points you managed to get by chance. Just because you happened to score well on an unfamiliar subject doesn't mean you'll be able to score well next time. It's best to take as many exams as you can."

Why did Lu Yuan feel that the two of them were playing tricks on him? He felt really offended.

But after all, they are both TOP1 in each grade of Yunhai No. 1 Middle School, so it doesn't seem surprising to say that.

Even though Lu Yuan didn't seem to be reviewing much, he was actually so nervous that he almost vomited. For a senior high school student, is it possible that he would fail the exams of his freshman year?

The answer is of course 'yes'!

As we all know, for most science students, they may be interested in geography, history and politics, but this does not mean that they will be able to do well in the exams.

Learning more does not necessarily mean learning well or doing well in exams. This applies to Chinese.

Language learning requires accumulation over time, just as water dripping through a stone takes time. However, the degree of accumulation and the time required to wear through the stone vary from person to person.

However, Lu Yuan did not notice that this was actually a competition between Xu Ruolin and Ye Yuhan. On the surface, they were holding each other back, but in fact, they were secretly competing with each other.

Geniuses also need to learn, and Fang Zhongyong's story serves as a warning to the world.

Therefore, even Xu Ruolin and Ye Yuhan have maintained efficient learning while in school and consolidated the knowledge points they have already learned.

Lu Yuan silently wrote a line on the draft paper: Come on, strive to be like them.

This sentence was meant for Gu Jiuyi as well as for himself.

Gu Jiuyi nodded, obviously she also believed the lies of Xu Ruolin and Ye Yuhan.

Last night sprint exam.

The exam is conducted in separate classes, and the classes are mixed up. There will only be two to three students from the original class in each exam room.

It just so happened that Lu Yuan and Gu Jiuyi were assigned to the same examination room.

After each exam, some students will stay in the exam room to review, while some students will return to their original class to check answers with their classmates.

Lu Yuan was very confident in his ability, so he didn't go back.

After finishing the exam, Gu Jiuyi went directly to the chair in front of Lu Yuan, found a book to cushion her posture and sat down.

“Exams are so tiring…”

Gu Jiuyi's hairstyle today is a low ponytail.

The ponytail falls down behind her, thick and smooth, revealing her fair neck, as if making one feel at first glance that this girl is petite but sweet.

"It's okay. As long as we can get through Friday, we'll be considered successful. Besides, the National Day holiday is coming soon, and we happen to be in the same examination room." Lu Yuan smiled and opened his notebook, looking at the notes for the next subject.

"Hehe, this way we can save the time of meeting up. We can pack up our things by Friday at noon, and then we can leave right after handing in the papers."

In an instant, the girl's cheeks turned visibly red, but the joy in her eyes also faded, and she subconsciously shrank her head.

"But in that case, should we send them a message and ask them to go back home first? It would be bad if they stayed at school waiting for us or stood at our door waiting like an idiot."

Because the club activities were terminated due to the monthly exam and weekly meeting, Lu Yuan went back to cook first these days, and then saw Xu Ruolin and Gu Jiuyi coming back together, and finally Ye Yuhan came back alone.

"Then I'll send them a message on Friday. No need to trouble you." Gu Jiuyi thought seriously for a while and replied.

"That's fine." Lu Yuan nodded.

Lu Yuan was turning the pages, but his attention was not focused on the notebook, but on the silver-haired girl in front of him.

There is a special charm about her, as if when you look at her, she is pure and flawless, and seems like a precious flower that has lived in a greenhouse garden since childhood. She can make others have a unique desire to protect her.

Looking at her cheeks that blushed easily, and those eyes that couldn't be more beautiful, her silver hair emitting a dazzling light under the sunlight, and her lake blue pupils that seemed to be facing forward but were actually looking at somewhere in the distance, Lu Yuan felt as if it was his own illusion.

Wherever she passed, the trees waved their branches and whispered, and spread their leaves to bless her, which was so endearing.

She even closed her eyes, almost planning to take a nap before the exam.

Lu Yuan smiled. He really wanted to touch Gu Jiuyi's silver hair, but thinking that this was a public place in the examination hall, he gave up.

Because they are day students, they all take their homework home on Thursday night and can leave directly after the exam on Friday without having to return to class.

After all, it is really too much to ask students to go back to class to maintain discipline and distribute homework after taking a mixed-class exam, so teachers will assign homework for the National Day Golden Week at the latest on Thursday night.

I finally made it to Friday and finished the last exam. I felt so relieved!

"The road is long, let's go, faster."

Gu Jiuyi directly grabbed Lu Yuan's wrist, as if wanting to take him away.

"I know, I know."

Lu Yuan smiled. She was too impatient.

I put on my schoolbag, which only contained a thermos, a pencil case and a mobile phone.

She didn't have much luggage. I guess she just hadn't been home for a long time and wanted me to accompany her.

A familiar Bentley was still parked on the street not far from the school gate. Wu Xinyi opened the door for Gu Jiuyi, and then Gu Jiuyi and Lu Yuan got in.

"Let's go." Gu Jiuyi.

"Yes." Wu Xinyi.

Lu Yuan originally thought he was going to Gu Jiuyi's house in Ninghua Community, but when he looked at the scenery receding outside the car window on the way, he noticed something was wrong.

"Um... this is the direction to your home, right?" Lu Yuan looked at Gu Jiuyi's face with some suspicion. Gu Jiuyi seemed not to notice Lu Yuan's inner uneasiness and just nodded, "Yes, this is the direction to my home."

She said so.

Lu Yuan thought this was not right. He was not a directionally challenged person. Although all roads lead to Rome, this general direction seemed wrong.

"Really?" Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy. He knew that Gu Jiuyi would not lie to him, but he always had a strange feeling.

Gu Jiuyi hummed and seemed to stop moving, but Lu Yuan clearly felt that the other party was approaching him cautiously. If this continued, the feeling might become very subtle.

"Jiuyi, are we too close?" Lu Yuan quickly changed the subject to prove his innocence.

However, Gu Jiuyi did not stop the movement of her thighs and continued to approach Lu Yuan, her beautiful eyes always staring at Lu Yuan's face.

Lu Yuan's face gradually turned red. What did Gu Jiuyi mean by this? Looking at him like this, could she be interested in him? Wow, she even stretched out her hand. Was she trying to hold his cheek and ask him to look at her carefully?

Could it be that she tricked him into getting into the car for this purpose? Jumping out of the car on the highway was impossible nowadays. In such a narrow space, he could only watch her approach him step by step.

Lu Yuan gurgled, swallowed, and closed his eyes, feeling both rejection and anticipation in his heart.

Then he felt Gu Jiuyi touching his hair.

"what?"

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and saw a small leaf in Gu Jiuyi's hand.

"There is a leaf in your hair." Gu Jiuyi said seriously while holding up the small leaf.

Lu Yuan exhaled. What? It scared him. "Thank you."
