Wen Mo's parents never interfered in his affairs. This was one of the Wen family rules: you have to bear the consequences of your own actions. Of course, Wen Yiquan was usually the one to clean up his messes.
For example, if Wen Mo really wants to take the entrance exam for a local university, then he should just take it and not regret it. After all, he can get into any top university if he wants to. His current considerations are just adding another option.
I talked a lot with Xia Lian last night, but most of the time Wen Mo used the excuse of chatting to hug me.
It's very unethical, but it feels good.
"Your complexion has become much more dull lately."
Qin Zhou sat down early in the morning, swaying his curly hair and shaking his head, his signature lewd smile still lingering on his face.
Wen Mo snapped out of his reverie and suddenly felt a little envious of him.
This kid doesn't have to think about anything. He's carefree and happy all day long. No matter how bad his grades are, he doesn't have to worry about anything. He just spends his days with Xiao Nan, wandering around and playing.
However, it would indeed be very enjoyable to have such a person as a friend.
Seeing Qin Zhou approach, Xiang Xiaonan on the other side also rushed to their side as if she had smelled meat, just like a dog that had smelled meat.
"Chatting? Count me in! Count me in!"
"We weren't chatting, this guy just came to bother me for no reason." Wen Mo rested her chin on her hand, her eyes noticeably more listless than usual, as if filled with a lot of worries. "Ugh, I'm so annoyed..."
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly like this?"
Qin Zhou was startled by Wen Mo's complaining "war cry" and subconsciously took a step back, but quickly came back and occasionally tugged at his hair with his fingers.
"Are you crazy? Why are you pulling my hair?" Wen Mo winced in pain and punched Qin Zhou in the chest.
I was already annoyed, and then this barbershop came along.
After thinking for a while, Wen Mo held his head in distress, his eyes darting back and forth between Qin Zhou and Xiang Xiaonan.
"Do you two have any plans for the future?"
"Ideas?" Qin Zhou was stunned, seemingly not quite understanding what he was talking about.
“Idiot, I’m just asking you what your plans are for the future, and which university you’re going to apply to.” Wen Mo rolled his eyes.
Xiang Xiaonan blinked, her brows furrowing slightly as if she were pondering the question, before finally shaking her head. "I haven't thought about it."
“Me too,” Qin Zhou echoed.
"You two are unbeatable." Wen Mo's eyelids twitched slightly. "You're about to graduate, don't you have any ideas at all? Don't you even have any thoughts on which school you want to apply to?"
It seems like the students at this school have no sense of urgency at all. Since they entered the school, they've all been having a blast, only taking things seriously during regular exams.
Wait a minute, could it be that these two can't even get into university?
"How are your grades going?" Wen Mo asked, looking up. He realized then that he hadn't checked their grades in a long time; he always looked at them like they were begging for divine help during exams.
Upon hearing this question, Qin Zhou and Xiang Xiaonan both subconsciously turned their heads away, revealing a half-shy smile, and scratched their heads embarrassedly.
"Screw you, be serious, I'm not kidding."
Wenmo was speechless. Are you trying to play an awkward game with me? The poses of these two look exactly like that internet celebrity who was banned a few days ago.
The catchy background music and movements still echoed in his head like a sped-up version of the Lanting Preface: "Who exactly did that horizontal line of vermilion encircle~"
"Our grades... let's not talk about them!"
Qin Zhou patted his chest arrogantly, his posture resembling that of a character from the Water Margin, displaying a certain boldness reminiscent of the heroes of Liangshan. A few more bowls of wine and they could become sworn brothers. Unfortunately, they were not currently sworn brothers, but rather discussing their studies.
"Don't mention the Bull Demon King, hurry up and tell us, maybe there's still hope." Wen Mo resisted the urge to punch him into the wall and turned to look at Xiao Nan on the other side, "Xiao Nan, how are your grades?"
Xiang Xiaonan put her hands behind her back and smiled sheepishly.
"Very well-rounded, with no particular weakness."
"Your grades are very average?" Wen Mo raised an eyebrow.
Isn't this great? Even if you're just average, you can still get into university and you won't be weak in any subject.
Xiang Xiaonan nodded, then looked away shyly, "The averages are all very poor."
"..."
What a load of rubbish! So, being good at everything means being equally bad at everything, right?
Wen Mo was so angry he laughed. In the end, he couldn't say a few words of comfort. He wasn't Sun Quan; where would he find the time to persuade these two to study?
But there's no point in trying to persuade him. Forced tutoring is something I could consider. I can't just watch my best friend turn into an idiot. At least I should wait until he gets to college before he becomes stupid!
"From now on, you two shouldn't skip evening self-study after school. Stay in the classroom and study properly. I'll assign you tasks every day, and how much you learn depends entirely on yourselves."
Wen Mo crossed his arms and spoke earnestly.
Since entering this school, he has never seen those two studying again, and he suspects that they've almost thrown their schoolbags away.
It turns out that too much freedom also has its downsides. When it comes to grades, it's not as strict as in regular schools. If someone else were in charge, no one would be allowed to leave until the moon was high in the sky.
"Can't we skip evening self-study...?" Qin Zhou asked cautiously.
"If you skip class again, you're really hopeless. There are only six months left. You might as well study hard. How much time do you have left to play? After graduation, you can play as much as you want, even to the point of death." Wen Mo nodded heavily and pulled out several snow-white test papers from his drawer. These were all test papers that he had bought with his own money outside of class.
"The questions above may be a bit difficult for you, but that's okay. You don't have to do the last few questions, but you must at least finish all the ones before that."
After saying that, he handed the papers to the two of them equally. Looking at the bitter expression on his "good friend's" face, Wen Mo smiled knowingly.
"No way, I was trying to smooth things over for you yesterday, and this is how you treat me? Our friendship has faded, brother..." Qin Zhou looked miserable, staring at the blank exam paper, feeling like he wanted to die.
As for smoothing things over, it refers to what happened at the arcade yesterday.
Wenmo shook his head and beckoned to him.
"What?" Qin Zhou asked, but still leaned closer to listen.
"Thank you for smoothing things over, but there's one thing I need to add," Wen Mo said slowly. He glanced around at the people, and seeing that they weren't looking this way, he leaned close to Qin Zhou's ear and whispered, "She and I really are a couple."
After saying that, Wen Mo got up, stretched, winked at the still bewildered Qin Zhou, and walked lightly towards the door.
It's time to go find Lianbao.
Qin Zhou, whose mind was still in a daze, took a while to recover. He looked at Xiang Xiaonan one last time, then glanced at the vanished Wen Mo, and after a long silence, uttered only three words:
"Holy crap, what a coincidence!"
