"What's wrong?" Luo Zhihan smiled and naturally zipped up Xie Li's backpack.

Those hands were long and fair, with distinct knuckles, and an aloof yet restrained air about them—so perfect that you could touch them.

Xie Li pulled her attention back slightly, "Exactly, aren't you too blindly trusting of me? I'm not even sure I can get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School."

Luo Zhihan looked at her in surprise, and then the boy suddenly turned his head away, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Xie Li: "???"

She only realized he was laughing when the boy's clear, deep laughter resonated from his chest.

Even when he's laughing heartily, his movements are elegant, as if etiquette is ingrained in his very bones; every gesture is exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

Xie Li was puzzled until Luo Zhihan finally finished laughing, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and her gaze returned to its elegant and aloof state.

"Xie Li," he called out, looking at her with a slight smile, "Are you completely unaware of your own abilities?"

Xie Li felt encouraged and even accepted the mask offered by the other party, happily going to the exam.

I only came to my senses a little after entering the designated exam room.

She glanced at the girl in front of her, who stood tall and straight, with big, moist, yet strong eyes, and was packing up her phone and other belongings, unsure whether to say hello.

A few seconds later, she decided it was better not to greet her, because the girl came to urge her to hand over her phone, looking very businesslike, and clearly had no intention of greeting her.

Xie Li was seated behind Jiang Baili. Jiang Baili glanced at Xie Li and said, "I thought you weren't going to take the exam."

But it's better that they came, so that Xie Li can truly understand the difference between them.

But soon, Jiang Baili couldn't feel happy anymore.

Linjiang No. 1 High School truly lived up to its reputation as one of the top five high schools in the country; the difficulty of its entrance exam exceeded her expectations. Even though Jiang Baili had been full of confidence before, she couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw the exam paper. She didn't have time to care about Xie Li at all and focused on answering the questions.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she finished answering most of the questions and only had the last three major questions left. She glanced at the time and saw that she had half an hour left.

Then she noticed that Xie Li was flipping the test paper over and over, and the sound of the paper rubbing against the air was very disturbing to her sensitive nerves.

Everyone else secretly glanced in Xie Li's direction, and Jiang Baili couldn't help but feel her forehead veins throbbing with annoyance.

If you don't know how to do it, then don't do it. Can you just sit still and not move?

Just as she was about to raise her hand, Xie Li suddenly stood up abruptly, "Teacher, I want to hand in my paper."

The fair-skinned female teaching assistant hurried over and said, "Are you finished? If you are, it would be best to check it a few times."

So Xie Li obediently sat back down.

Just as Jiang Baili finished the last big question and let out a long sigh, the bell rang to signal the end of the exam.

After collecting the papers, Jiang Baili packed her things and was about to leave when she saw the female teaching assistant walk towards Xie Li.

"Xie Li." The other person smiled broadly. "It's great to see you again so soon. I didn't have much to say to you because of my exam, you won't mind, will you?"

Jiang Baili paused, her brows furrowing involuntarily. Did these two know each other?

Xie Li looked at Ming Xiaoxiao with some surprise, "No."

Ming Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. "Why did you decide to take the entrance exam for Linjiang No. 1 High School? The entrance exam for Linjiang No. 1 High School is very difficult. Your foundation isn't very strong, I'm afraid..."

Seemingly realizing her slip of the tongue, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

Xie Li didn't mind. "It's okay, I think it's alright, it's not too difficult."

It's simpler than I imagined.
