With only a few days left until the exam, she planned to study until the day before the exam, and use that day to get plenty of rest.

"Aha..."

Xiaolan unconsciously yawned, her eyes glistening with tears. She wiped them away and continued flipping through her notes.

"Is Shinichi not even coming back for the exam...?"

Xiaolan muttered to herself as she flipped through the pages, a hint of resentment unconsciously creeping into her voice.

After so long, the image of the person in her mind became clearer and clearer.

She often dreamed of the times she spent with Shinichi, and a blush would appear on her face when she thought of it.

"Ran Mouri, what are you thinking about? You should be studying right now!"

Ran mustered her spirits, picked up her pen, and began working on her practice problems. But before she could even finish a single question, she muttered to herself, "I wonder if Shinichi is doing well on his business outside..."

"I wonder if she has a girl she likes outside..."

As soon as she spoke, Xiaolan's face flushed red. She turned to look around and, seeing that no one was there, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, her phone notified her of a message.

Xiaolan picked up her phone, opened the text message, and a glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at the sender's name.

"Shinichi?"

I opened the text message, and there was only one line: "I heard you have exams. Don't stay up all night studying. I don't want to come back with an old lady by my side."

The text message was short, and Xiaolan read it all at a glance. When she saw the last two words, her fists clenched tightly, as if she was very angry: "Shinichi dares to call me an old lady?"

The next second, Xiaolan released her fist, and a bright smile, as radiant as the sun, bloomed on her gentle and delicate face. She suppressed her smile, deliberately keeping a serious expression, and waved her fist: "I'll settle the score with him when he gets back!"
