"Shen Xingmian, I can't go on, I really can't go on."
Nan Zhi was almost in tears. Studying was too hard and tiring. She really didn't know why Shen Xingmian was making her study. Today, he didn't even go to his part-time job. He went straight home and even specially wanted to give Nan Zhi a final review of the knowledge she didn't understand. It had been a full three hours. Apart from eating, Shen Xingmian seemed to be obsessed with working against her.
"Are you planning to take the exam like this tomorrow? These are some of the questions I predicted. You can't possibly do too badly."
Shen Xingmian rubbed her temples helplessly. "I won't say much about Chinese, but you have to finish reading these math problems, or you're not allowed to sleep."
Nan Zhi made a face, reached out and tugged at Shen Xingmian's sleeve, calling his name in a slightly coquettish tone:
"Shen Xingmian~, Shen Xingmian~"
The way Nan Zhi addressed him made Shen Xingmian's expression stiffen slightly. He turned his head away and awkwardly spoke:
"Hurry up and look at the questions. If you learn them, I'll take you home to rest."
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and glared angrily at Shen Xingmian. Although she didn't like studying, she felt a sense of novelty in being forced to study by Shen Xingmian.
"oh."
After she finished speaking, she started looking at the notebook next to her, which contained some problems written by Shen Xingmian, along with detailed solutions.
Nan Zhi was probably just cramming at the last minute. Seeing that she had stopped arguing and making a fuss, Shen Xingmian couldn't help but smile. It's so good that she's so obedient.
The next day, they took the Chinese and math exams. After the exams, Nanzhi excitedly told Shen Xingmian, "Shen Xingmian, several of the questions I looked at yesterday appeared on the exam! I'm sure I can get a perfect score this time."
Nan Zhi thought it was quite tragic; in the past half semester, she had never scored above 100 on any test out of 150.
Seeing the girl's eyes sparkle, Shen Xingmian felt inexplicably happy and nodded.
The two-day exam passed quickly, and Nanzhi was dragged to tutoring classes for two consecutive nights. She felt pretty good about herself after the exam.
The results came out the day after the exam.
It would be a lie to say Qin Yi wasn't nervous, but Shen Xingmian, on the other hand, acted like a detached sage, as if she didn't care at all.
The four of them agreed to go to the bulletin board together to check their scores.
When they arrived, the place was already packed with people. Shen Xingmian slowly pushed her wheelchair and stood outside the crowd. Qin Yi and Wu Ke were eager to know the results.
Nan Zhi looked up at Shen Xingmian, "Aren't you worried?"
Shen Xingmian shook her head. "I'm confident."
Nan Zhi: "..." Smart people are really too enviable.
When Qin Yi saw the rankings, he was completely devastated.
Shen Xingmian was ranked first, and there was a full twenty points difference between him and Shen Xingmian.
Wu Ke was ranked third. She glanced at Qin Yi and said:
"I never expected Shen Xingmian to be so secretive."
This result was indeed beyond her expectations.
Although Qin Yi was disappointed for a while, he was a man of his word and didn't hold a grudge.
After the two left, Nanzhi asked with a smile:
"How about it?"
Wu Ke glanced at Qin Yi, then at Shen Xingmian, and said to Nan Zhi:
"Shen Xingmian came in first place."
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi was not surprised, after all, Shen Xingmian's abilities were undeniable.
"You're not bad either, you're in the top fifty."
Wu Ke continued, which surprised Nan Zhi. Her Chinese was indeed good, and she could handle the design exam questions just as well, but math, physics, and chemistry were her real weaknesses.
Getting into the top 50 this time was beyond her expectations, but many of the questions Shen Xingmian gave her on the spot were correct.
"I lost, I'll change my position when I get back."
Qin Yi looked at Shen Xingmian without a trace of dissatisfaction. He was an upright person, and he had underestimated his opponent this time, but he wouldn't do it again next time.
Shen Xingmian smiled and said, "You flatter me."
Qin Yi: "..." This is a provocation. "I will definitely beat you next time."
After saying that, Qin Yi went straight back to the classroom. Wu Ke watched him leave and smiled:
"This is taking it too seriously."
Nanzhi nodded, "Having a competitor will help you improve quickly."
Shen Xingmian: "..." He didn't want to.
Qin Yi did indeed move the desk to the last row near the door, and during breaks he would often run over to talk to Nan Zhi and Wu Ke.
Shen Xingmian regretted it for a moment, thinking she should have made a request that he never come here again.
"Let's get together this weekend, I'll bring my cat."
After the exams, everyone relaxed again, and the kittens could finally leave their nest. She decided to give them to the two kittens this weekend.
Qin nodded. "Okay, so where should we choose a location?"
Wu Ke looked at Nan Zhi, who was the only one that was inconvenient to move. "If you don't mind, Xi Yue, we can go to your house later so you can choose one. The other one is for Qin Yi. I've never been to your house before."
Nan Zhi knew perfectly well that Wu Ke was truly a kind girl.
"sure."
And so the decision was made.
On the weekend, Nan Zhi waited at home, while Gu Ying was still browsing the browser for things to note about raising cats, and Shen Xingmian remained in her bedroom.
Around 10 a.m., Wu Ke and Qin Yi arrived together.
Qin Yi was carrying a large box containing kittens.
"Put it here quickly so I can see it."
Nanzhi's eyes lit up; she couldn't wait to see the kitten so she could pet it.
Qin Yi said helplessly, "You'll get yours too. They look almost identical, both pure white."
He placed the box on the coffee table, opened the lid, and inside, two kittens snuggled together for warmth, lying lazily.
Nanzhi and Guying excitedly climbed up to the box to look at it.
"Sister, the kitten is so cute!"
Nanzhi reached out and gently stroked the cat's fur. "Yes, you're so cute. I've been waiting for you to come."
Seeing that Nanzhi liked it, Wu Ke felt relieved. "You pick one, and Qin Yi can take the other one back later."
Cats are light sleepers, so such a loud noise naturally woke them up. One of them raised its head first, its black bean-like eyes staring at Nanzhi without any fear. Nanzhi felt it was pleasing to the eye, so she reached out and scooped it up. "This one will do."
The cat was held in Nanzhi's hand and meowed once. Nanzhi couldn't help but stroke its fur, and soon it sat quietly on her lap.
Gu Ying sat to the side and reached out to hold its paw, showing a clear affection for it.
Qin picked out the last one, saying, "This one is mine now, and I'm going to name it."
After thinking for a while, Qin Yi still didn't know what to name the cat. He asked, "Xi Yue, what name are you planning to give the cat?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Nan Zhi smiled. She hadn't really thought of a name beforehand, but now that she heard it, it was time to name the cat. After thinking for a while, she said:
"How about we name her Little Grape?"
Everyone: "......."
"Sister Xixi, you're being too casual. Grapes are just a type of fruit."
