Chapter 46 Chapter 46 But I am really happy

A new semester brings a new atmosphere. We have officially entered the senior year. The countdown in the upper left corner of the blackboard, which changes every day, is weighing on the nerves of every senior student.

Shortly after the opening exams, art students faced their first large-scale mock exam, with most art schools across the province participating.

"I'm so nervous. I heard that the mock exam papers will be sent to a professional organization for evaluation." Hua Yu was slacking off in the morning self-study class with his breakfast as usual.

Wang Xue, who was sitting at the front table, asked, "What color subject did you draw this time? I saw a little bear, so I chose that little bear as the subject."

Zhang Yi said, "I don't know how to draw that bear. I used the red wine bottle as the main subject, and the bear became vague."

Hua Yu's eyes lit up: "Hey, me too, Pei Shuyu, how about you?"

Pei Shuyu stuffed the newly handed answer sheet into the desk hole, holding the book while memorizing the knowledge points. Hearing the voice, he said, "I used the little bear as the main object."

The reward she and Ji □□jian had received before was a bear. When she saw the object given in the question, she identified the main object without thinking.

She casually said, "Bottles of red wine and bears are fine, don't worry."

Hua Yu took a bite of the bun and said, "The exam results are out, right? How are you doing?"

Pei Shuyu cleared his throat, knocking his back against the edge of the table behind him. Facing the curious gazes of the three people, he said calmly, "That's it. I barely passed the first-tier score."

With Ji Yan tutoring her during the training camp, she performed well this time and achieved new highs.

All three of them were silent.

Hua Yu couldn't chew the bun any more: "When did you start learning?"

During the training camp, she only heard Qi Ying say that Ji Yan would practice exercises every day when she stayed in the studio with Pei Shuyu, but she had never heard that Pei Shuyu had practiced exercises or read books.

Did this person suddenly get it?

Pei Shuyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips: "Oh, Ji Yan gives me an extra half hour or an hour of lessons every night."

The three of them fell even more silent.

Pei Shuyu couldn't suppress her smile and said, "Alright, hurry up and memorize the lessons. The college entrance exam is in less than a year."

＊

Today is Monday. Art students are learning academic knowledge in school today. In order to allow students to be exposed to all subjects, six classes a day are equally distributed among six teachers.

As for things like physical education classes, they naturally won’t be scheduled before the provincial unified examination.

Halfway through the morning self-study session, Pei Shuyu ran to the corridor holding a book that contained a collection of liberal arts knowledge points. She stretched her neck to look down.

There was a row of students memorizing their lessons against the wall of the corridor on the second floor. Pei Shuyu looked around among the group but couldn't find any familiar figures.

She picked up the book again, took a step forward with her long legs, and went down the side stairs.

Ji Yan's class is on the same floor as theirs, and they can see it as soon as they go downstairs.

There were several students sitting on the stairs, and Pei Shuyu walked lightly.

As soon as I went down the stairs and turned the corner, a familiar figure appeared in my sight.

Ji Yan was wearing a blue and white school uniform, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail, a few strands of hair floating randomly in front of her forehead, and her cold eyes and brows seemed even more cold at this moment.

She is always very serious when reciting, and when she doesn't smile, her aloof temperament makes people afraid to get close to her.

Except Pei Shuyu.

Pei Shuyu jumped in front of Ji Yan carelessly: "Ji Yan."

Ji Yan noticed her the moment she appeared at the stairs. She didn't speak first, but wanted to see what she wanted to do. Unexpectedly, she ran straight to her.

There was no sign of mischief at all.

Ji Yan put down the book: "Why did you come down?"

Pei Shuyu: "Have you seen the results this time?"

Ji Yan: “I saw it.”

Pei Shuyu asked expectantly, "Is there anything you want to say?"

She had the words "Praise me quickly" clearly carved on her face.

But Ji Yan refused to fall for it and acted confused: "Hmm...will you keep trying next time?"

Pei Shuyu: "...That's not it! I actually passed the first-tier line this time, the first-tier line!"

She danced with her hands to show Ji Yan how good she was this time: "If I raise my score a little bit more, I can definitely get into University A."

She never worried about her art.

Ji Yan: "So?"

Pei Shuyu closed her eyes fiercely and stopped acting: "Shouldn't you praise me?"

Ji Yan suddenly understood and clapped her hands, with a look of indulgence in her eyes. She pulled Pei Shuyu towards the stairs, stuck in a blind spot where she couldn't see from above or below. She touched the lips of the person in front of her with her slender fingers, and then randomly touched her own lips.

Pei Shuyu blinked.

Ji Yan is becoming more and more bold now, and even dares to do such actions in such public occasions.

Is this asking her to kiss her now?

The veins on Pei Shuyu's hand holding the book were bulging, and messy wrinkles appeared on the pages.

Ever since he kissed Ji Yan that day, the two of them had more or less intimate contact every day during the following few days of vacation.

But it has never happened in this situation before.

Pei Shuyu blushed and whispered, "Ji Yan, this is school."

Ji Yan's expression remained unchanged: "What happened at school?"

Pei Shuyu said more bluntly: "You can't kiss..." She hesitated and said, "If you really want to kiss, let's change places."

There is a section of the corridor pavilion in front of the playground without surveillance.

Ji Yan stared at her intently. After a few seconds, the girl tilted her head, looking even more bewildered than Pei Shuyu: "When did I ever say I wanted to kiss you?"

The lowered finger touched Pei Shuyu's lips again. This time, she applied a little more force, and a small depression appeared there, making the lips even more rosy and attractive.

Pei Shuyu couldn't speak, because if she did, the finger might slip into her mouth.

She just stood there, letting Ji Yan move around.

But she came to Ji Yan to ask for praise. Pei Shuyu frowned, and stared at the person in front of her with misty eyes without blinking.

Out of the corner of her eye she could see the shadow of a finger pressing against her lips.

Ji Yan: "It's so relaxing."

Pei Shuyu: "..."

Did you treat her lips as a toy?

"What are you doing?"

A sharp voice exploded in my ears.

It was Director Chen's voice.

Pei Shuyu panicked and took two steps back. Ji Yan's hand slipped from her lips.

The latter bent her lips silently, and Pei Shuyu read a sentence from her mouth shape: "Don't be nervous."

Ji Yan turned around.

Chen Ye frowned. After inspecting the second floor, she was about to go to the third floor to see if there were any students using prohibited items. As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw students from her class touching the faces of students from other classes.

But because her vision was blocked, she couldn't see clearly where she touched.

Chen Ye took two steps forward: "Ji Yan? Pei Shuyu? What are you doing here?"

Pei Shuyu stepped forward subconsciously: "Director Chen, I'm here to ask Ji Yan a question."

Director Chen: "Ask a question?"

She had seen the results of the art class's opening exam. Pei Shuyu was at the top of the list, extremely impressive. Her tone couldn't help but relax a bit: "Should I ask more about this? How did the simulation drawing go?"

Pei Shuyu said, "It's okay. The questions are not too biased."

Chen nodded. "I heard the principal of the art school mention that those of you who are good at painting should not fall behind in academic subjects, otherwise they will hold you back."

"Okay, you guys continue."

Director Chen strode up to the third floor and looked down through the gap at the stairs. Pei Shuyu handed the book she brought to Ji Yan, who lowered her head and said something.

It's normal for two girls to be intimate.

Chen also shook his head and inspected the other classes.

Little did he know that Pei Shuyu had just flipped open a page and pretended, "I was so scared! I thought the director had discovered something."

Ji Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "Go and recite the book."

Pei Shuyu: "Oh."

＊

A week later, the results of the mock exam came out, and Pei Shuyu scored a total of 359 points in the three subjects.

Among them, she won the first place in color and sketching.

The teacher in Studio No. 5 was grinning from ear to ear. After asking Pei Shuyu about her results in the opening exam, she laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.

The sketching teacher tucked his stick behind his back and said, "Okay, okay, keep it up and get one of the top three in the provincial exam."

"Good boy, your comprehensive score must be far ahead of ours. Fortunately, you took the school entrance examination and didn't take my place." Qi Ying said.

Pei Shuyu: "Why don't you try the school exam?"

Some universities will set up another school examination after students have passed the provincial unified examination. Only by obtaining the school's certificate of qualification can they be considered to have stepped into the school.

Whether the other foot can move forward depends on the academic performance.

Qi Ying: "Not necessarily, I might try."

Pei Shuyu said "hmm" and sent a message to Ji Yan.

Pei Shuyu: [The mock exam results are out, 359.]

Ji Yan: [Yes, I see. I did very well on the test. Excellent.]

Two seconds later, Ji Yan sent another hug emoticon.

"Wow, 359 points! I heard the total score for the three subjects was only 375. Is Pei Shuyu really that good?"

"And her grades on the opening exams were pretty good too. She's got two things going for her, attacking and defending. That's amazing."

"Don't those who study art always take shortcuts?"

"Hey, come on, you're welcome. My liberal arts scores were already on the first-tier line last year, even higher than yours, a pure liberal arts student."

“…”

The results of the art students' mock exam had already spread throughout the cultural studies class.

Especially the class that had a good relationship with Pei Shuyu in the past.

When another teacher brought up the art class's grades, Lin Yue couldn't help but nudge Ji Yan's elbow and whisper, "This is the nth teacher to bring up this today."

Ji Yan shook her head.

The teacher on the podium continued: "Look at others, they are good at both art and academic subjects. Some of you should be thankful that she went to study art and won't compete with you for the spot."

After class, the classmates who were in the same class with Pei Shuyu before they were divided into different classes gathered around Ji Yan to discuss.

Ji Yan occasionally said a word or two when they mentioned her.

Lin Yue supported her cheek and touched Ji Yan: "Laugh if you want to."

Ji Yan looked at her.

Lin Yue said nonchalantly, "Isn't it a kind of pride? I'm happier than if I had won first place myself."

Ji Yan: “Yeah.”

This person is becoming more and more obvious, he is really not afraid of being discovered by others.

Lin Yue tsk-tsked, "You're not even pretending."

Ji Yan took out the textbook for the next course: "But I am really happy."

Someone was calling her.

Ji Yan turned around.

It’s Cui Qi.

Cui Qi asked, "Can you send me Pei Shuyu's contact information?"
