"You decide what to do, but don't copy it exactly." She said helplessly.

"Okay." Seeing that her homework was settled, Gu Luoqi's mood instantly improved.

As her hand touched Cheng Cheng's homework again, the system alarm suddenly sounded: "Warning—Please do not have any thoughts of taking shortcuts—Alarm alarm—Please complete the homework yourself." The sound startled Gu Luoqi, her hand paused slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, the system is up to its old tricks again. She felt her hard times were about to begin again.

Sure enough, when she looked down at the test paper that Cheng Cheng had already completed, she found that it had become completely blank, without any trace of having been written.

Gu Luoqi: "..." Utterly speechless.

Her lips twitched. Good grief, that's a bit too harsh: "001, I have too much homework..."

Ah, she so desperately wanted the system to turn a blind eye to her that she was humbling herself here.

Unfortunately, the system seemed oblivious to her pain: "Host, you need to have confidence, you can do it." Its tone was full of confidence in Gu Luoqi, making her feel a little embarrassed.

"No, I can't." Gu Luoqi felt like she had a thorn stuck in her heart. She might be able to do other things if she tried hard, but this was a math problem!

Is it really possible for her to say it will work? This is a serious violation of science.

"No matter what, the host cannot take any shortcuts; you must complete your own tasks." The system showed absolutely no mercy.

"I can't finish it." Gu Luoqi said with a worried look.

"Even if you can't finish it, you have to do it yourself."

"I won't."

"Even if you don't know how, you have to do it yourself." The system was impartial.

Gu Luoqi's expression darkened further; it seemed she couldn't persuade the system.

Cheng Cheng noticed her unusual behavior and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly acting strangely?"

What's wrong with your mouth twitching and your eyes looking crooked?

Gu Luoqi's expression was somewhat forced: "It's nothing." She couldn't very well say, "You brought your homework for nothing because the system wouldn't let me copy it."

It's a pity that the thing I spent so much time getting is now useless.

She looked up at Cheng Cheng, her eyes filled with utter desolation: "Little Cheng, I think I should do my homework myself."

Even so, seeing her pitiful appearance, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Cheng Cheng looked like she'd seen a ghost: "No way, did I see a ghost today?" She looked at Gu Luoxi as if she were a lunatic.

"I'm serious," Gu Luoqi said with a more certain tone.

Some hardships, once endured, simply fade away. Therefore, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, and empties their resources…

She thought of a bunch of inspirational quotes and suddenly felt much better.

"Are you sick in the head? Why didn't you say so earlier? I brought it for nothing." Cheng Cheng's deep pupils shimmered with a faint light as she looked at Gu Luoxi with accusatory eyes.

That bastard did it on purpose, didn't he? She carried so much stuff up such a high floor, and this guy just dismissed her with a simple "I don't need it."

Okay, let's not say anything more, let's break off our friendship. Their meager friendship can't last any longer.

Gu Luoqi, unfazed by Cheng Cheng's look of utter disbelief, said, "I suddenly realized that we're already in our final year of high school, and time is already running out. It's a bit unreasonable for me to cheat on my studies." She rambled on with a bunch of nonsense, which even she herself didn't quite believe.

Cheng Cheng reached out and touched Gu Luoxi's forehead: "Are you out of your mind? You've been copying for so many years, why would you care about this one or two times?"

And now that school starts only three or four days ago, she suddenly has a whim to do it herself?

Gu Luoqi was practically in tears, but she couldn't show it: "Why don't you give me some pointers?"

Did she really think she didn't want to plagiarize? The problem is, the circumstances didn't allow it.

"System, if I can't just copy directly, then I can at least ask for outside help, right?" Gu Luoqi silently asked the system in her mind.

She was afraid that if she didn't ask clearly, it would become selectively deaf again.

The system made no further demands on Gu Luoqi: "Okay." It knew that with her current abilities, it would be almost impossible for her to complete the assignment independently.

Therefore, letting her relax a little can help boost her confidence.

"That's good." Gu Luoqi breathed a sigh of relief.

If that doesn't work, just kill her; it's too painful.

“But…” Cheng Cheng tried to persuade her.

Gu Luoqi avoided her like the plague: "Alright, stop talking. Don't hinder my growth."

"Fine, fine, good luck." Cheng Cheng was speechless.

"Then I'm going to study." Gu Luoqi picked up Cheng Cheng's schoolbag and walked towards the room. Seeing Cheng Cheng still standing there in a daze, she said, "Come on, what are you standing there for?"

"What am I supposed to do?" Cheng Cheng asked, completely bewildered.

"I don't know how," Gu Luoqi said matter-of-factly.

Just kidding, she probably doesn't even know the formula for many of the questions. How can she do it without someone helping her?

"Isn't my answer right there with you? Can't you look it up yourself?" Cheng Cheng sat motionless on the sofa, taking the initiative and deciding to watch TV.

"Please, I can't live without you." Gu Luoqi looked pitiful, almost on the verge of tears.

"Okay, I'm really fed up with you." Cheng Cheng had a bit of a headache.

This guy is such a pain. Is it too late for her to break off the friendship now?

She was completely shocked when she followed Gu Luoxi into the room.

Looking at the neat and tidy room, she felt as if her worldview had been refreshed once again.

Mom, she suddenly realized that this guy had really turned over a new leaf.

Seeing this person being so 'polite', Gu Luoqi said, "Sit down, why are you standing?" It was as if it were the first time she had come.

Cheng Cheng rushed ahead, looking at the bed sheet that wasn't even a wrinkle: "Young comrade, you've been quite motivated lately, keep it up."

Although she didn't know when this guy's enthusiasm would subside, she knew that her friend was much better than before.

"Absolutely." Gu Luoqi felt great looking at the neat and tidy appearance.

Once someone has worked hard to break free from a certain state, they may never want to go back to that state.
