Yu Wan glanced at his arm, which was fixed to his chest, and pulled away from his embrace with disgust. She took his hand and suddenly dragged him forward, saying, "The food street is just ahead. We'll have dinner there."
A gentle night breeze carried the aroma of food through the air.
The two sat down at the barbecue stall, and Yu Wan excitedly rattled off more than a dozen dishes. Finally, she pushed the menu to Tang Yue: "Order whatever you want."
She rested her chin on her hand, sitting in a relaxed and casual posture, clearly a regular customer.
Tang Yue glanced at the grease stains on the menu and pursed his lips. Not wanting to spoil the mood, he had no choice but to suppress his discomfort and casually ordered a few skewers.
After the proprietress finished writing the menu, she joked, "Xiao Wan, is this your boyfriend? He's really handsome."
Before Yu Wan could explain, Tang Yue smiled slightly at the proprietress and spoke first: "You misunderstand, I'm still pursuing Wanwan."
Yu Wan covered her mouth and coughed a few times.
Tang Yue patted her back.
Under the light, the hand was clearly defined by its knuckles, white and long, and exceptionally beautiful.
"Can you keep talking about pursuing something all the time?" Yu Wan gritted her teeth.
Tang Yue thought for a moment, nodded, and said seriously, "How about I tell you later that I'm trying to become your boyfriend?"
"..." Yu Wan was shocked by Tang Yue's shamelessness: "What's the difference between this and having aspirations?"
Tang Yue replied confidently, "The statements are different."
Yu Wan: "..."
Seeing the two being so affectionate, the proprietress gave a meaningful look, covered her lips, and laughed: "Young man, don't be discouraged, Auntie has high hopes for you. Xiao Wan has always been stubborn but soft-hearted, just like when her mother left..."
Tang Yue's eyes flickered.
Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly tried to divert the landlady's attention: "Aunt Dong has a guest."
They were successfully lured away.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wanwan, are you very familiar with this?" Tang Yue suddenly asked, though he already had a vague idea in his mind.
Yu Wan casually touched her delicate chin, her tone nonchalant: "I lived here when I was little." There was a 70-square-meter old house in the alley across the street, which held her most profound and unforgettable childhood memories.
Tsk. That woman left from this very street!
Her lips were pursed, and she felt a tightness in her chest.
My hand was suddenly grasped.
Yu Wan stiffened for a moment, then looked up and met his deep eyes. A sudden tremor ran through her. She abruptly pulled her hand back, muttering, "Pervert, how can you just touch a girl's hand like that?"

Over the course of a night, the bet between two young counselors from the Class of 2017 in the School of Economics and Management escalated on the school's online forum, growing increasingly larger and even being shared on Baidu Tieba, attracting widespread attention.
The matter also reached the principal's office. After calling the two young counselors over to understand the situation, Principal Shen remained silent for a moment, then gave each of them a packet of chrysanthemum tea and waved for them to leave.
Wu Pinglan and Zhang Wenkang looked at each other, puzzled.
"Hmph, I definitely won't lose." Wu Pinglan snorted coldly and stomped away in her high heels. She wanted everyone to know that without underachievers dragging everyone down, the teaching results would definitely double.
Zhang Wenkang clenched his fist in defiance.
Principal's Office.
Liu Xiong smiled and flattered, "You're so thoughtful. Young people are too hot-tempered; they need to cool down."
Principal Shen looked up at him and suddenly asked, "Do you also think that I kept Yu Wan because of Chairman Yu?"
“Of course not,” Liu Xiong said. “You must have your own reasons.” Even though he truly believed that in his heart.
“Professor Rong is much smarter than you all.” Principal Shen took a document out of his drawer and handed it to him: “Take a look, this is Yu’s entrance exam paper.”
Liu Xiong opened the file bag, took out the exam paper inside, and raised his eyebrows. This was the JS college entrance examination paper from back then.
Chinese 154, Math 160 + 38 (additional points), English 120, Physics 97, Elective Chemistry 100...
“This…” Liu Xiong suddenly felt a bit dry-mouthed. His gaze fixed on the candidates’ names on the exam paper, and he subconsciously retorted, “The exam papers and answers for all subjects in the September college entrance examination have been released. It’s perfectly normal for Yu Wan to know the answers.”
Principal Shen shook his head: "Take a closer look at the words on the exam paper."
Liu Xiong looked at it carefully and found that the test paper was printed with SS.
“Every year, multiple sets of college entrance examination papers are produced before the final papers are determined. This set is the most difficult in JS Province.” Principal Shen leaned back and crossed his arms in front of his chest: “Back then, it was not selected because the exam paper was too difficult, after comprehensive consideration.”
Liu Xiong's heart pounded: "So, Yu Wan isn't a bad student, but... a top student!" He was still a little dazed when he uttered the last two words.
Principal Shen instructed, "Keep this matter to yourself. No one, including Chairman Yu, is allowed to utter a word about it."
Liu Xiong was shocked: "Chairman Yu didn't know either?"
Principal Shen grunted and took a sip of his tea.
It tastes bitter at first, but sweet in the aftertaste.
This was a secret deal between him and Yu Wan.

"call!"
A cold wind howled, and Yu Wan pulled her coat tighter around herself.
The weather at the end of December can change in an instant. Yesterday it was sunny, but overnight a northerly wind suddenly picked up and the temperature dropped below zero.
"Yu Xiaowan, you're famous again." Meng Shen jogged over and casually put his arm around her shoulder: "I heard that Zhang Wenkang clashed head-on with the counselors of other classes because they said that you, representing the slackers, were dragging down the grade... I've said so much, why didn't you react at all?"
Yu Wan said "Oh".
"That's it?" Meng Shen pursed his lips. "Many people are betting on whether you will study hard and give up your position as the number one underachiever."
Yu Wan still didn't react at all, which was quite worrying.
As the elevator was about to reach the first floor, Meng Shen had a sudden idea. He patted his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Come with me to the McDonald's at the entrance to buy a hamburger."
Yu Wan glanced at him several times, then immediately saw through his thoughts: "You're not worried that my classmates will make things difficult for me because of this, are you?"
Meng Shen's face stiffened for a moment, then he clenched his fists fiercely: "They dare!"
"Don't worry, no one can force me." Yu Wan patted his shoulder, took out a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in his mouth: "Don't talk while eating."
"..." Meng Shen's eyes widened. He was furious. Who was it that made him get up so early?
The two entered the classroom one after the other, and the noisy classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone was looking at Yu Wan, hesitant to speak.
"What are you looking at?" Meng Shen roared gruffly.
Everyone was startled and went back to doing their own thing.
Yu Wan sat down in the last row by the window, crossed her legs, and leaned back, looking both roguish and dashing.
