As Le Yao watched the test papers disappear rapidly, she silently gave herself a thumbs up. She really was a clever girl.

Moreover, Qian Meiqi and several others who didn't know how to answer many questions on the test paper could still listen and learn after Hong Xia explained them.

"I suddenly realized that doing problems can be incredibly enjoyable." Qian Meiqi finally stretched and flexed her wrists. "I never thought that I, Qian Meiqi, would be so serious about doing problems... If I continue like this, I think I can still challenge for the top student position. So, don't disturb me, I'm going to do problems all night tonight."

"Hmm." Le Yao didn't even look up. "Good luck, but I'm done for. I need to go out and recharge. Qiao, wanna go get some skewers?"

"Let's go." Influenced by the four people in the make-up exam group, and urged by Hongxia, Qiaoqiao, who was also memorizing concepts, put down her book and got up.

"I can't go on anymore," Song Qiaoqiao waved her hand. "I've done a whole year's worth of practice papers this afternoon..."

"Me too, my hand is about to break, and my brain isn't working anymore," Wang Xia shook her head.

“In that case…” Qian Meiqi hurriedly threw down her pen and stood up as well. “Let’s go, let’s go. We need to eat to have the energy to do practice problems. Even aspiring top students need to eat.”

As soon as she got downstairs, someone called out to Le Yao: "Han Binglan."

Le Yao looked up and saw Mu Xuezhen.

"Where are you going?" Mu Xuezhen looked at Le Yao and seemed very affectionate, even reaching out to take Le Yao's arm, as if they were very close. In reality, they had only met when Nangong Jue gave a lecture last time, and had basically had no contact since.

"Let's go out to find something to eat." Le Yao took two steps back; she wasn't really used to being so affectionate with the other person.

"I haven't eaten either, can I join you guys?" Mu Xuezhen wasn't embarrassed at all, but her eyes lit up instead. "I know a shop near the back gate that's cheap and delicious."

Le Yao glanced at the others, and since no one seemed to care, the group of seven went to the back door together.

The shop that Mu Xuezhen recommended was indeed quite good; the prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. Qian Meiqi insisted on paying the bill.

"There's another shop over there that has absolutely amazing grilled chicken necks, and another one that makes cold noodles... We can go and try them all..." Mu Xuezhen excitedly introduced everyone to the snack shops around the area.

Qian Meiqi nodded: "As long as Sister Lan and Sister Qiao do me the honor, I have no problem with it."

If she has no problem, then Song Qiaoqiao and Wang Xia have even less of a problem.

"Okay, let's go eat chicken necks tomorrow." Le Yao nodded. There used to be a barbecue restaurant downstairs from the travel agency where she worked, which also specialized in grilled chicken necks. Every time she saw off a group, she would buy a couple of skewers to treat herself. Now that she thought about it, she really missed it. Maybe she could go back and try making it herself tonight.

“Okay, I’ll message you tomorrow.” Mu Xuezhen nodded happily.

After that, Le Yao and Qiao Qiao parted ways with everyone and went home, while Qian Meiqi dragged Hong Xia back to continue doing practice problems.

"You should be more careful when you're dating that Mu Xuezhen," Qiao Qiao said casually. "I always feel like she's being a little too enthusiastic."

"Hehe." Le Yao laughed, "Given enough time, they'll eventually slip up."

"You noticed it too?"

"I'm not stupid."

"That's good, I was worried for nothing." Qiao Qiao nodded.
