For the next few days, Song Qi and Xia Ge spent all their time in the library. Yao Xi had never been to the library before, so when Song Qi came for several days in a row, the news that she was studying there quickly spread. The fact that she was with Xia Ge made her even more noticeable, causing the library to be packed with people.

They were all there out of curiosity to observe Song Qi.

"Heh, I definitely won't let her outperform me." Cong Yan stood at the window, looking at Song Qi in the hall, clenching her fists.

Cong Hang was speechless for a moment, and this time he wisely kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

Song Qi studied very quickly, and after borrowing study materials from others, he caught up with the schedule very fast.

As a vampire, Yao Xi naturally possessed a brilliant mind.

Xia Ge originally wanted to compete with Song Qi, but in the end she realized that this woman was a monster, so she silently returned to her own progress.

What's the point of arguing with Song Qi?

"What's there to be unhappy about?" Song Qi poked Xia Ge's face. "You're not stupid. The fact that you like me shows that you're a very wise person."

Xia Ge said expressionlessly, "Are you praising me, or are you just trying to make yourself look good?"

"Killing two birds with one stone." Song Qi ruffled Xia Ge's hair again.

Xia Ge gave a soft hum.

Exam week went by quickly, and we were on vacation right after the last exam. The results will be released a week later.

After the exam week, I went home for three days to rest before starting my two-week winter vacation.

Song Qi didn't have much luggage. After all, as a vampire, she couldn't feel the cold or heat and didn't have winter clothes, so one suitcase was enough.

Xia Ge has a lot of suitcases. Song Qi had a general idea of ​​her personality when they participated in a variety show together back then.

This time, thanks to someone's help, the girl brought nine suitcases, though there are others with even more extravagant luggage.

This time, the entire school mobilized together, with more than 1,900 participants. After spending a few days at sea, we will go to the island, which was provided by our family.

The cruise ship is large enough to guarantee one room per person.

I booked the room online beforehand.

Having learned a few tricks, Song Qi managed to secure the two best rooms on the cruise ship for himself and Xia Ge, which happened to be right across from each other.

It made it very convenient for her to visit other people's homes at night, although Xia Ge didn't allow her to do so.

On the cruise ship, everyone is free to move around as they please. Vampires have many more activities than humans because they are not afraid of the cold and are very brave; they can jump directly into the sea.

Song Qi, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, stood next to Xia Ge, who was bundled up tightly, and couldn't help but look at her, asking, "Are you cold?"

"It's super cold." Xia Ge held the hot milk tea, took a deep breath, and looked at Song Qi with envy and jealousy. "You're going too far."

"Come into my arms, let me hold you and keep you warm?"

Xia Ge rolled her eyes and touched Song Qi's hand: "Your hands really feel like ice cubes now."

Song Qi originally wanted to hold Xia Ge's hand a little longer, but the other party had already withdrawn her hand, which made her slightly disappointed. She had originally wanted to show off to Xia Ge that she could wear short sleeves.

Now I only regret that I'm not human, otherwise I could hug Xia Ge for warmth.

Song Qi looked at the sea. Her eyesight was excellent, and she could see some things beneath the surface.

"I saw a jellyfish."

Xia Ge stared at the dark blue sea: "But I can't see anything."

"If you want to see them, I can catch a few for you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Ge frowned and grabbed Song Qi's arm. "I won't allow it, it's too dangerous."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Xia Ge looked at the smile on Song Qi's lips, looked away, and couldn't help but smile as well.

"What are you laughing at?" Song Qi nudged Xia Ge's arm.

"You're laughing too, so what are you laughing at?"

"Of course it's because I'm happy." Song Qi leaned against Xia Ge. "It's so nice like this now."

"Well, it would be even better if the weather were warmer," Xia Ge said, quite a spoilsport.

On the first day, everyone was quite excited about the cruise ship, but after two days, the deck was basically only occupied by vampires, while the humans refused to leave the cabin because they were afraid of the cold.

Song Qi would occasionally take Xia Ge out for some fresh air, but Xia Ge would usually start clamoring to go back after less than five minutes.

"Winter break travel is truly inhumane." Xia Ge stood in front of the radiator, squinting her eyes.

“You’ll complain about the heat again in the summer.” Song Qi sat cross-legged on Xia Ge’s bed.

"It's okay, you guys don't like the sun either, so we can suffer together." Xia Ge smiled mischievously. "After we get back, I'll apply to have the trip scheduled for summer vacation."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't approve it."

Xia Ge suddenly realized that Song Qi was the student council president, and this matter also needed the student council president's approval.

"To be honest, I've suddenly had the idea of ​​usurping the throne."

"No, you don't want to." Song Qi pulled Xia Ge into his arms and hugged her waist. "Let's watch a movie, don't overthink it."

"You used to say I was bad at changing the subject, but you weren't much better yourself," Xia Ge muttered.

Song Qi patted Xia Ge's hand, said nothing, and directly clicked "Start".

Xia Ge watched the movie and quickly forgot about Song Qi.

It wasn't until the final grades were released that everyone was finally able to gather in the hall.

Yan arrived very early and sneered when she saw Song Qi and Xia Ge come in.

"Spending all your time with humans is utterly degenerate."

"You're meddling way too much. What's it to you if they want to stay with humans?" Cong Ming rested his chin on his hand. "Speaking of which, that human you had your eye on last time, didn't he also not like you?"

Yan's face darkened, and he clenched his fists, determined to teach Song Qi a lesson once they reached the island.

The list of winners has been displayed on the large screen at the front of the banquet hall.

Every time they take an exam, the top fifty students in each grade are displayed on a big screen for everyone to see, as a way to encourage and praise them.

Song Qi spotted his name immediately. He was the top student in the second grade, with perfect or near-perfect scores in all subjects, a full fifty-seven points higher than Zhou Yan, who was in second place.

Xia Ge ranked third, sixty-four points lower than Song Qi.

Xia Ge had a premonition of this all along. She glanced at Song Qi with a wistful look and resigned herself to her fate.

Because that score was so outstanding, people from other grades also took a second look and looked at Song Qi with some emotion.

Song Qi remained calm, his expression barely changing.

She was in tenth place after the smoke exploded, which was an exceptionally high ranking for her.

Based on Yao Xi's previous performance, it would have been good if he could have made it into the top 50. I don't know what happened this year, but he suddenly jumped to first place.

Moreover, given the school's strict examination system, cheating is absolutely impossible; this score must be genuine.

Was he really hiding his true abilities all along?

Why hide your talents?

This year is undoubtedly Song Qi's most prominent year.

After seeing the scores, everyone dispersed. Although they were still discussing it, on the way back, Song Qi felt that he was being stared at much more often.

We've been at sea for four days, and we'll be landing on the island tonight.

The tourist guide for this island had already been distributed, and Song Qi had read it through and memorized the routes and other details.

This is a semi-developed island, and a lot of the original vegetation has been left behind, but it has been cleared away before, so there shouldn't be any dangerous species.

Song Qi hadn't yet figured out what might happen on the island.
