Chapter 45
Just one month after the start of school, an exam was held for the second year of high school to see whether the students had reviewed well during the winter vacation.
Because of the exams, the whole class complained during the first month of school.
Wang Huanxiao was reciting ancient poems while complaining, "Deskmate, why do we have another exam? I haven't studied hard this winter break, so I'm sure I'll do very badly."
After Wang Huanxiao finished speaking, he wailed a few times.
"I don't read much either." Lin Zhen didn't know how to answer. Seeing Wang Huanxiao's look of despair, she opened her mouth but didn't dare to tell the truth.
She had reviewed almost all the knowledge she had learned during the winter break and had done a lot of exercises. Adding to the exercises Fu Guannan had given her, she was still looking forward to the exam. She wanted to know if she had truly learned all the knowledge she had memorized and written down.
But if she told the truth, and if she didn't do well in the exam, Lin Zhen felt ashamed to face the others.
"Hey! Better study hard this month."
Seeing that Wang Huanxiao was once again immersed in reciting ancient poems, Lin Zhen didn't say anything and continued to recite.

Lin Zhen and Shi Jinjun left home a few minutes later than usual, and when they arrived at school, evening self-study was about to begin.
The two were on the bus when it suddenly started to rain heavily. The worst part was that neither of them had an umbrella.
Arriving at the school gate, they saw the rain getting heavier and heavier, so they rushed to the teaching building. But they still got soaked.
"My shoes are all wet." Lin Zhen wiped the rain off her face and looked at the places where she was wet.
Shi Jinjun looked at Lin Zhen's shoes, then at his own. His own shoes were also wet, and not much better.
"It's our bad luck."
The two arrived at the classroom and the bell rang.
Lin Zhen moved her chair carefully to avoid making any noise.
"Oh my God, are you wet?" Wang Huanxiao asked in a low voice when he saw Lin Zhen sitting down all wet.
"Shi Jinjun and I didn't bring an umbrella, so we both got soaked."
Wang Huanxiao glanced at Shi Jinjun and saw that her hair was also a little wet.
"Aren't you uncomfortable like this?"
Of course it was uncomfortable, but Lin Zhen still shook her head and said, "Not too uncomfortable."
Wang Huanxiao looked at Lin Zhen with concern. There was a large water stain on the outside of her school uniform, and her hair was also wet. She watched her take off her outer uniform, revealing a thicker black long-sleeved sweatshirt underneath.
"All right."
But it was still quite cold today, and it was raining, so it was cold and damp. Lin Zhen took off her clothes, and suddenly she felt a little overwhelmed.
During the break, Lin Zhen accidentally saw Shi Jinjun's school uniform, which was a boy's uniform. Without a doubt, it must be Xia Yeheng's.
Seeing that the people around her were not surprised, Lin Zhen thought to herself, it's true that nothing a public couple does seems to be a big deal.
However, she looked towards Fu Guannan and didn't see anyone there.
When she first came in, she didn't dare look over there, fearing that Fu Guannan would see her in such a mess. Now that he was gone, she felt a little empty inside.
Did you ask for leave?
At this moment, Lin Zhen thought of many reasons why Fu Guannan didn't come: was he sick? Or was there something going on at home?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. Lin Zhen shook her head, trying to calm down.
Never mind, I’ll ask him later.
Lin Zhen's mind was wandering aimlessly until the bell rang, and then she came back to her senses and plunged into the sea of questions.
During the second evening study session, Lin Zhen stayed in the office asking questions, so she had no idea when Fu Guannan arrived.
The get out of class was finally over, but Shi Jinjun was called over by Xia Yeheng, so Lin Zhen sat in her seat and waited.
The classroom door was open and the wind was howling. Lin Zhen felt a little cold and her body was shaking.
Lin Zhen held a pen and wrote down English words.
Suddenly, a black umbrella appeared on Lin Zhen's desk.
"for you."
Lin Zhen looked up and was overjoyed to see that it was Fu Guannan.
"You didn't come, did you? I thought you wouldn't come tonight."
"There are some things at home, so I asked the teacher for leave."
Lin Zhen didn't ask what was going on. She put down her pen, picked up the umbrella he had given her, and asked, "Why did you give it to me? What about you?"
Fu Guannan put his hand on the backrest of Lin Zhen's stool and touched the wet school uniform. He said worriedly, "It's all wet. Isn't it uncomfortable?" Then he reached out and touched Lin Zhen's hand. It was icy cold, even summer popsicles were not as cold as her hands.
Suddenly, a warm feeling came from her hand. This sudden action startled Lin Zhen and made her eyes widen.
Fortunately, all the classmates around her left, otherwise their affair would have been exposed.
Although they are not in a "proper" boyfriend-girlfriend relationship right now, but since they are already in the act, anyone can guess that their relationship is not ordinary.
Seeing that Lin Zhen was shy, Fu Guannan let go.
"Remember to drink the cold medicine when you go back. If you catch a cold, you will be very uncomfortable." Fu Guannan looked at Lin Zhen's fair face and instructed seriously.
"Why don't you go home and take a shower and change your clothes? You are still here memorizing words. No matter how much you study, you must put your health first." Fu Guannan said unhappily as he looked at the English words on the paper in front of Lin Zhen.
"It's almost time. I'll be waiting for Jinjun here."
After Lin Zhen finished speaking, she stared at Fu Guannan to see how he would react when he heard Shi Jinjun's name.
After hearing this, Fu Guannan showed no extra expression.
Seeing Lin Zhen staring at him, her eyes full of him, Fu Guannan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Lin Zhen, leave."
Shi Jinjun watched the two of them exchange glances for a long time at the door, and seeing that it was getting late, he called out.
When Lin Zhen heard the voice, she looked over and saw Shi Jinjun standing at the door. She immediately packed her schoolbag and said "goodbye" to Fu Guannan.
Fu Guannan shoved the umbrella in front of Lin Zhen and said, "Go home quickly."
"Are you sure you have an umbrella?"
If I give her the umbrella, how will he go back?
"Yes, Shang Pingmo and I are going home together." Fu Guannan pushed Lin Zhen's schoolbag, signaling her to go home quickly.
Lin Zhen saw Shang Pingmo still in the classroom. Seeing her looking at her, he smiled and waved at her.
"Fu Guannan, good night." Lin Zhen said in a low voice and left.
Fu Guannan watched Lin Zhen run to Shi Jinjun like a rabbit and chuckled, "Good night."
—
The rain was still falling. Lin Zhen and Shi Jinjun arrived downstairs and took out their umbrellas at the same time. "I have an umbrella."
Looking at the two umbrellas of the same color and style, the two were stunned for a moment, then smiled at each other.
"I didn't notice you had something in your hand just now. I didn't expect Fu Guannan to give you the umbrella."
Two people were walking in the rainy night, holding identical black umbrellas.
"Xia Yeheng asked you to go out just now. Did he mean to give you an umbrella?" Lin Zhen held the umbrella handle and carefully avoided the puddle.
"Um."
During the long rainy day, the two umbrellas were like two guards in black raincoats, dutifully escorting their owner's sweetheart.
—
At this moment, a convenience store.
"What? You don't bring an umbrella either?" Fu Guannan saw Xia Yeheng coming out with a new umbrella in his hand.
Fu Guannan's home was not on his way to Shang Pingmo's, so he just gave the umbrella to Lin Zhen as an excuse.
"I gave it to Xiaojun. You didn't bring it?"
Xia Yeheng's impression of Guan Nan was neither good nor bad, but after all, he was someone who wanted to steal his girl, so his tone was not very good.
But Fu Guannan couldn't hear it, because Xia Yeheng always spoke in this tone.
"I... didn't bring it."
Fu Guannan angrily clenched the umbrella in his hand. Now he is still a person without a status.
