For the next period of time, Luo Xikui was even busier with her studies.

With only twenty days left until the high school entrance exam, every day is especially precious.

To make tutoring more efficient, Ni Sitian suggested to Xiang Zhilan that Xiao Kui move into her house first. After all, Xiao Kui had occasionally stayed at the Xu family's house before, so there was no issue of unfamiliarity.

Moreover, Xiang Zhilan has two younger sons who are about to enter junior high school, so her energy is too scattered and she can hardly take care of them all.

After hearing what Ni Sitian said, Xiang Zhilan asked her daughter's opinion and then packed her up and sent her to the Xu family.

These last twenty days have been a bittersweet experience for Luo Xikui. Living next door to Tuantuan means she gets to see him more often, but the amount of homework she has to do each day seems to increase without limit.

However, this intensive study resulted in significant improvement in his grades.

Three days before the exam, Tuantuan found her a set of mock exam papers. After taking all of them, plus the physical education exam, her total score reached 485, which met the admission line for the No. 1 High School last year.

Although she wasn't entirely confident, this simulation greatly boosted her confidence, giving her even more motivation to study and focus on catching up on the key questions.

On the afternoon of the day before the exam, Luo Xikui moved back to her own home and was still making the most of every minute to memorize as much as possible.

I was lying in bed with an English book in my arms when my phone rang several times.

She opened the message and saw messages of encouragement from Yuan Cheng, cheers from Xiao Chun, and messages from Tuan Tuan.

He simply said: Go to bed early tonight.

Luo Xikui pursed her lips and smiled faintly, then replied to him: You too, goodnight.

After receiving his goodnight reply, she put the book aside, covered herself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take the exam.

Because it was a city-wide unified exam, Luo Xikui, Xu Ziyu, and Xiang Hengxi were not taking the exam at the same school, but she was in the same school as Xin Chun.

The school is located in the old town, in a slightly remote location. She came to scout it out a few days ago.

She had long forgotten about Xin Chun's cold treatment of her earlier day, and was now acting like a best friend again. Perhaps because they were assigned to an unfamiliar school for the exam, she was even more clingy to Xin Chun.

Fifteen minutes before the exam, she and Xin Chun were chatting on the playground.

"I got 485 on the mock exam Tuan Tuan gave me a few days ago," Luo Xi Kui said to Xin Chun with a smile, brimming with confidence. "And I've always had good luck on big exams, so we'll definitely be able to go to the same high school."

Xin Chun looked up at her smile and smiled back, "That's great."

"It's a pity my brother has to take the martial arts exam, otherwise the four of us could be together again." Luo Xikui said this while looking at Xin Chun with a hint of probing, wanting to know if Xin Chun had any feelings for her brother.

However, after observing for a while and finding that Xin Chun's expression didn't change, she put her worries aside.

Unexpectedly, Xin Chun asked, "Xiao Kui, are you and Zi Yu together?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xikui's cheeks flushed crimson, looking like a young girl in the throes of first love. She lowered her head, kicked at a small pebble, and whispered, "I don't know if it counts or not. He didn't say it explicitly, but I..."

Xin Chun looked at Luo Xikui and, seeing her unusually shy demeanor, couldn't help but ask, "What?"

"I kissed him," Luo Xikui whispered shyly in Xin Chun's ear.

Xin Chun was taken aback; she hadn't expected them to be so intimate.
