Time flew by.
Long Aotian now went to Hu Yuying's Home for meals every day. Over these days, it wasn't clear if it was just Long Aotian's imagination, but Hu Yuying seemed to have put on some weight. The flesh on her face had increased, and compared to her previous timid and submissive demeanor, Hu Yuying now exuded a certain unclear, indescribable allure.
This feeling was hard to describe.
It was like the innate charm in fantasy novels, though due to her age, it was still slightly immature. It was truly hard to imagine how beautiful this girl would become when she grew up and matured a bit more. Long Aotian could only think, no wonder she's the heroine.
Before they knew it, the week had come to an end.
This was also the day of the monthly mock exam.
At the end of every month, the senior third year's mock tests were naturally never missing.
Unlike previous small tests, this time, the mock test had a more gaokao-like atmosphere.
The entire senior third year was mixed up according to their exam numbers.
For example, Long Aotian's exam number placed him in the last row of Class 6 next door, while Hu Yuying's exam number placed her in the middle of Class 1.
"Why are you nervous?" Long Aotian glanced at Hu Yuying next to him and said, "Please relax, you're making me nervous too."
Hu Yuying looked at her exam number. Since transferring to this school, she had participated in several class mini-tests and had done well. But this was the first time she and Long Aotian were separated into two different classes, and she felt a mix of excitement and an unclear feeling... a feeling of not wanting to be too far away from Long Aotian.
"I'm not nervous, just a bit unaccustomed," Hu Yuying said softly.
"What's there to be unaccustomed to? It's still within the school," Long Aotian said.
"Look at you now. If you were to suddenly go to a strange city, a strange class, meet strange classmates when you get to university, wouldn't you hide in a crack in the ground?"
Hearing Long Aotian tease her, Hu Yuying lowered her eyes and softly asked, "Then, are you nervous, Long Brother?"
Long Aotian paused, somewhat awkwardly looking out the window, "I wasn't nervous before, but now that you mention it, I am a bit."
With Hu Yuying's help, Long Aotian had learned a lot, and now was the time to test the results of his recent studies. Saying he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
After all, this was his first time participating in such a large-scale monthly mock test.
Hearing this, Hu Yuying also froze for a moment, then looked up at Long Aotian. When their eyes met, both couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Saying that, the remaining tension in their hearts instantly dissipated.
"Relax, my little teacher will naturally be fine," Long Aotian said gently.
"Mmm, I also believe Long Brother will make great progress this time," Hu Yuying nodded heavily and said firmly.
Just as Long Brother said, as long as there is a goal in mind, the steps towards it will never stop, even if there are thorns and difficulties along the way. But as long as you keep walking, you'll always get closer to your goal!
"Yes, that's the look," seeing Hu Yuying's determined expression, Long Aotian clenched his fist and said firmly, "If you can get first place this time, Long Brother will take you out to eat something delicious this weekend."
Hu Yuying laughed, feeling a bit helpless, "Long Brother, don't always treat me like a three-year-old, I'm eighteen already."
Despite saying that, Hu Yuying was really happy inside.
Back when her parents were still with her, they would also say to her, "If Yuying makes progress in this exam, let's take Yuying to the amusement park, okay?"
Her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Long Aotian, lightly biting her lip, she whispered, "You can't always be coaxing me."
This time, I definitely won't coax you!
It couldn’t be helped, after messing with Hu Yuying twice before, it seems this little girl still hasn’t forgotten.
Are all girls like this?
Hearing Long Aotian’s assurance, Hu Yuying smiled like a flower, "Alright, I'll definitely do my best this time."
"Not just try your best, but you must. If I don't see your name in the top three, I'm going to give you a good scolding!"
Hu Yuying nodded repeatedly, "I understand, but what if I make a mistake this time?"
"What?" Long Aotian gently tapped Hu Yuying on the head, "You dare make a mistake?"
Hu Yuying held her head with both hands, though it didn't hurt, she felt a little happy inside.
She obediently started doing practice problems.
Hu Yuying also had her own confidence, which was in her studies.
Right now, the one thing she could be proud of was her academic performance.
So when it came to exams, Hu Yuying wouldn’t be careless, it was just something she casually mentioned. However, seeing Long Aotian care for her like this, it felt really nice.
"No need to get up early to cook tomorrow, we'll eat at school," Long Aotian stretched and said.
"It doesn't cost money, I can cook at home, it's very quick and not troublesome," Hu Yuying said.
Long Aotian, who was stretching, heard this and directly pinched the soft meat on Hu Yuying’s cheeks, "Are you arguing with me?"
"I cook really fast." Hu Yuying said softly, her cheeks pinched.
"What is wrong with you? You don't listen to the boss's words, do you believe I'll scold you?"
"Don't scold me, I will always listen to the boss's words."
"That's more like it."
...
The next day.
Long Aotian first took Hu Yuying to eat a sausage and two eggs, then happily sent her to Class 1.
"See you at evening self-study," Long Aotian said, about to leave.
"Long Brother," Hu Yuying called out from behind, Long Aotian turned back to look at Hu Yuying, eyebrows raised in confusion.
"That is... during the break after the exam, can I come find you?"
"I'm in Class 6, last row, the usual spot."
"Mmm." Having gotten Long Aotian's permission, Hu Yuying then entered the classroom with a peace of mind.
All the students in the classroom noticed this beautiful female classmate talking with the notorious Long Aotian.
They couldn't help but glance at her a couple more times, though just a couple glances.
Class 6.
"We're really lucky, hehe," Wang Rui looked at Li Qingxue, who was only separated by one aisle, excitedly said.
In their own class, they were desk mates, and after sitting according to their exam numbers, they were only separated by an aisle, which could be considered desk mates, right?
"Fighting," Li Qingxue made a fighting gesture.
At this moment, Wang Rui's face, which had been full of smiles, suddenly stiffened for a moment.
"What's wrong? Why that expression?" Li Qingxue saw Wang Rui's expression and couldn't help but look in the direction of her gaze.
They saw a tall, strong male student walking into the classroom from outside...
[Thank you, little brothers and sisters, for the electricity and gifts, really grateful, love you all!]
