Chapter 2: Conquering Your Husband on the Second Day!
Two days later, the joint entrance examination results were finally officially released.
The difficulty of this exam was significantly higher than previous mock exams, and the students' scores were predictably affected.
In the teachers' words, it was a complete mess.
However, we can't blame the students. With the college entrance exam approaching, they actually set such a difficult test paper, which undermines the students' confidence. The teacher in charge of setting the test must have lost their mind. The pressure of senior year is already immense, and the mental state of the test takers could collapse at any time. As expected, when the results came out, many people complained that they didn't want to take the college entrance exam anymore and would just go to a factory to tighten screws instead.
The teachers could only reassure everyone that the questions were difficult this time, but the actual college entrance exam would definitely not be this difficult.
Most people didn't do well on the exam, but there were also some who did quite well, such as Bai Jiangxin, who still managed to get first place this time.
Chen Jinghua was particularly proud, and that day in his class, in front of the whole class, he praised Bai Jiangxin again.
With such a significant difference in intelligence, others have no reason to be jealous. They can only admire and marvel at how talented he is, wondering if he grew up eating eight walnuts. At the same time, they feel proud to be in the same class as Bai Jiangxin, which is a source of great pride.
The one with the most prestige is Xiang Di.
No wonder he was the one she fell in love with at first sight during the freshman orientation ceremony and has liked for three whole years.
She has such good taste.
At this point, Chen Jinghua changed the subject and said, "In this joint exam, besides Bai Jiangxin, I also want to give special consideration to one other student."
"—Xiang Di."
Xiang Di didn't react at all; he only heard his teacher call his name.
"ah?"
Being called out by the homeroom teacher in front of everyone, and immediately receiving the gaze of the entire class, the girl's face instantly flushed, her body stiffened, and she was visibly at a loss.
Why was her name suddenly called out?
Did she do something wrong?
Fortunately, it wasn't a bad thing; Chen Jinghua directly praised her for her significant progress in this joint exam.
After praising her, Chen Jinghua continued, "So, some of the students in our class complain that they don't want to study anymore after just one bad test. With such poor stress tolerance, how are they going to get into university? Look at Xiang Di, her mindset is much more stable than yours. The college entrance exam is half about your actual knowledge and how well you've studied over the past three years, and half about your mindset, you know? You're in your final year of high school now, there's not much time left. After class, ask others for advice and how they usually relieve the pressure of studying."
Being praised in front of everyone by the homeroom teacher was a pleasant surprise, but it also made Xiang Di quite embarrassed. She blushed slightly, and her deskmate Liang Qianqian quietly gave her a thumbs-up: "Awesome!"
"But Xiang Di, you still need to work harder on your chemistry," Chen Jinghua continued. "I looked at your test paper, and you didn't get several basic questions right. You need to be more careful next time."
There was nothing that could be done; chemistry was simply not Xiang Di's strong suit. Xiang Di nodded obediently, indicating that she would definitely try harder next time.
Seeing how humble and obedient she was, Chen Jinghua was satisfied and gently asked her to sit down.
After finishing his instructions, Chen Jinghua began to go over the test paper. Xiang Di was still immersed in a feeling of tension and excitement and hadn't recovered yet.
The teacher just praised her in front of the whole class.
Bai Jiangxin... must have heard it too, right?
Now he should know her name, and he'll definitely remember her.
Perhaps he will even think to himself that she is also an excellent student, and then look at her with a newfound respect.
The chemical formulas on the chemistry exam paper that she hated memorizing the most suddenly seemed adorable.
Thinking about all this made Xiang Di feel so happy; today was another happy day.
-
As soon as Chen Jinghua left after class, several girls ran over to Xiang Di, asking her how she usually relieves stress.
Surprisingly, someone actually came to ask for advice. Looking at the expectant eyes of the girls, Xiang Di hesitated for a moment.
Not wanting to disappoint them, Xiang Di could only suggest some normal ways to relieve stress, such as going for a walk and enjoying the breeze when you're tired of studying, giving your eyes and mind a break.
Xiang Di said, "When I'm feeling anxious, a cup of sweet milk tea is quite helpful."
This isn't just something she made up; it's based on science. Sweets can stimulate the brain to secrete neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which can regulate mood.
Several girls agreed with this method, since everyone loves milk tea. While you can't eat snacks in class, you can still have a drink. One girl asked, "Do you have any recommendations for milk tea?"
Xiang Di said, "Let's have the Cheese Milk Foam Four Seasons Spring Tea."
"Hot or cold? How much sugar? Would you like some toppings?"
The study meeting suddenly turned into a bubble tea meeting. When Ye Minjia and Bai Jiangxin passed by, the girls were still having a heated discussion.
As they walked out of the classroom, Ye Minjia casually suggested to Bai Jiangxin, "Want to go buy a cup of milk tea?"
Bai Jiangxin raised an eyebrow.
Ye Minjia: "Are you coming or not? I'll treat you to a drink."
His sudden request for milk tea was clearly due to overhearing the girls' conversation.
Ye Minjia made a mistake in this joint exam, and her ranking dropped by more than 20 places in the entire grade, directly kicking her out of the top 50 in the grade.
When people suffer setbacks, they tend to pin their hopes on unreliable mystical methods.
Since his friend didn't do well on the exam, Bai Jiangxin didn't want to discourage him, so he said in a nonchalant tone, "Go ahead."
Although he didn't believe that a mere cup of milk tea could have such a miraculous effect.
The reason why that girl named Xiang Di made such great progress this time is most likely because she has better learning methods, but she just doesn't want to share them with others.
Bai Jiangxin glanced lightly into the classroom.
Several girls were still enthusiastically discussing milk tea when Xiang Di, sitting among them, suddenly seemed to receive some kind of summons and met Bai Jiangxin's gaze outside the classroom.
Her clear, round eyes widened instantly, concealing a hint of unspoken guilt.
Oh my god, the sudden eye contact almost made my heart stop. Xiang Di quickly looked away.
When she looked out of the classroom again, Bai Jiangxin was gone.
The eye contact they just made was indeed just a coincidence; he didn't take it to heart at all. Only she was so nervous that she even stopped breathing for a few seconds.
Fortunately, she was already used to this kind of difference.
That's just how unrequited love is—one moment in heaven, the next in hell.
Xiang Di's expression was subtle, and no one noticed her dejection; it was a secret she kept to herself.
For her, the most effective way to relieve stress is not drinking milk tea.
.
Instead... it's someone else.
However, she has a somewhat perverse personality, so she can't share it with others.
-
To verify whether drinking milk tea was effective, Liang Qianqian immediately decided to buy a cup of milk tea during her lunch break.
The milk tea shop was bustling at lunchtime; by the time we finished eating, it was packed with people.
The two girls finally managed to squeeze in, but there were many people queuing up to order, and they thought they were in for a long wait.
In the crowd, Xiang Di suddenly focused her gaze and saw a very familiar figure from behind.
Even though that figure was wearing the same school uniform as everyone else, she could recognize it at a glance.
This is her special ability.
It is Bai Jiangxin.
Her heart suddenly raced again. What a coincidence, this was the second such coincidence today.
He would never know that every coincidence with him was a moment of happiness in her tedious and arduous senior year of high school. Even if it was just a coincidence, it did not stop Xiang Di's mood from becoming overjoyed at that moment.
He was accompanied by class monitor Ye Minjia, which didn't surprise her.
These two were not only deskmates, but they were also always together after class, like conjoined twins.
Xiang Di was incredibly envious of Ye Minjia, and Liang Qianqian beside her exclaimed, "My goodness, so many people!"
Xiang Di pursed her lips, indicating that there was nothing she could do about it.
Liang Qianqian suddenly spoke up: "Hey, isn't that our class monitor, Ye Minjia, over there?"
The boy turned around, and it really was Ye Minjia.
Since they were classmates, Ye Minjia felt he should take care of them. He fully utilized his social skills and, after getting the nods of the students behind him, let the two of them come to the front to order.
"Thank you, classmate. I wish you a score of 750 on the college entrance exam."
Liang Qianqian pulled Xiang Di forward, and Xiang Di smiled secretly, thinking to herself that she was a lucky girl today.
Two girls suddenly squeezed up to him, and Bai Jiangxin subconsciously lowered his head.
Ye Minjia explained, "Let the girls in our class order first."
Bai Jiangxin nodded and turned slightly to the side, gesturing for the two girls to stand in front.
Liang Qianqian was very polite to Bai Jiangxin: "Thank you."
She wasn't particularly close to Bai Jiangxin, mainly because Bai Jiangxin was just too aloof.
Luckily, Ye Minjia was there, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have dared to ask Bai Jiangxin to help her cut in line.
Looking into the handsome yet aloof eyes of her crush, Xiang Di tried to calm herself and silently stood in front of him.
Inside the noisy milk tea shop, four people stood together, very close to each other. Suddenly, someone in the queue behind them pushed forward, and Xiang Di suddenly felt as if she had bumped into a warm wall behind her.
The milk tea shop was filled with a sweet aroma, but the clear, cool, and calm scent was stronger than any other scent.
Her heart was pounding, and Xiang Di opened her eyes wide, too afraid to move or speak.
Bai Jiangxin's indifferent voice sounded behind her.
"Excuse me."
Because of the shoving, he accidentally bumped into Xiang Di, and the boy standing behind him also accidentally bumped into him.
The moment he was touched, Bai Jiangxin clearly heard the boy cursing in his mind.
[Which idiot pushed their way forward? Has they never had bubble tea before?]
Then he heard another voice, not a complaint mixed with impolite language, but a very sweet and gentle voice.
He bumped into me! He bumped into me!!!
We had physical contact!!!
What a wonderful day today!! I'm so happy, sob sob sob!! Thank God, thank Buddha, I'll spend my whole life worshipping you—
Why did they suddenly start singing?
His mind was disturbed by this unfamiliar voice, but the girl standing in front of him didn't even turn her head, only replying, "It's nothing."
Is it her?
Bai Jiangxin looked suspicious, took a step back, and distanced himself from the girl in front of him.
The thought vanished instantly, replaced by the chattering of other people in the milk tea shop.
By this time it was their turn, and Ye Minjia let the two girls order first.
Liang Qianqian naturally ordered the cheese milk foam drink recommended by Xiang Di, but Xiang Di said, "You guys order first, I haven't decided what to drink yet."
"Alright."
Ye Minjia also ordered cheese foam, and it was full sugar. Liang Qianqian kindly reminded her, "Class monitor, full sugar is very sweet."
"It's okay, I just want something sweet now and then to relax," Ye Minjia asked Bai Jiangxin. "What do you want to drink?"
Bai Jiangxin didn't order the cheese foam drink; he didn't like the taste of cheese, finding it too sweet and greasy. He glanced at the menu and ordered a peach four-season spring drink.
Ye Minjia paid for Bai Jiangxin's milk tea so that Bai Jiangxin would come with him to buy milk tea. As a gentleman with a good family background, Ye Minjia originally wanted to treat both girls to milk tea as well, but the two girls insisted on not accepting.
There were just too many people, so Ye Minjia paid and immediately gave up her seat to the people behind her in line.
As Ye Minjia walked out, she said, "Excuse me, excuse me."
As they turned around, even though they tried their best to avoid each other, the space was only so big, and they still accidentally brushed against other people.
Bai Jiangxin closed his eyes helplessly, but he couldn't stop all sorts of thoughts from creeping into his mind.
This is why he dislikes getting close to crowds; once there is physical contact, it's inevitable to hear what others are thinking.
The shop was already noisy, and with this double torment, Bai Jiangxin could only try his best to suppress his inner irritation and leave as soon as possible.
Amidst a jumble of thoughts, he heard that same thought again when he accidentally bumped into someone once more.
This time, he didn't sing, nor did he support anyone.
Her tone was excited, joyful, and tinged with a hint of shyness.
Turns out he likes peach flavors, okay, I get his taste preferences! Another fruitful day~
【Then I want to drink the same one as my husband!】
Bai Jiangxin frowned again.
Husband? Him?
