The four of them sat down together and ordered two more dishes.
Liu Xiaolan had almost finished eating when she remembered Wu Youyou's bet with He Qiangwei, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
Song Shaojie took a sip of his drink, his eyes gleaming as he stared at her.
"Little Lazy, why do you look so worried? Is something wrong?"
Liu Xiaolan looked at Wu Youyou with heartache.
"Next week, He Qiangwei and Youyou made a bet on who would get a higher total score in the third mock exam. But my level isn't good either, and I'm afraid I won't be able to tutor Youyou."
Song Shaojie's eyes lit up. He was also curious about this question: what was Wu Youyou thinking?
"Wu Youyou, do you have some secret weapon that made you dare to agree to the competition with He Qiangwei?!"
Wu Youyou looked at Song Shaojie's malicious and cunning smile, feeling both annoyed and amused. Her tone was slightly reprimanding.
Am I really that worthless in your eyes?
Song Shaojie, who was being scolded, rolled his eyes and shrugged.
"Besides getting the answers in advance, what other methods do you have?"
Shi Zhan looked up with interest, but for some reason, he didn't seem worried that Wu Youyou would lose, but he still wanted to hear her explanation.
Wu Youyou was about to say that she would definitely rely on her own strength, but when she suddenly saw Shi Zhan's probing gaze, her thoughts instantly changed. She coughed a few times.
"Of course I can't do something like cheating. It wouldn't be honorable to win that way. I'll definitely win based on my own ability!"
"Strength?" Shi Zhan frowned. "Don't you have any idea about your own strength?"
Wu Youyou raised an eyebrow, looked at Shi Zhan, and gave a simple, honest smile.
"If you can tutor me, I guarantee I'll win!"
Liu Xiaolan exclaimed inwardly, "This is a student recommended for admission to Peking University. If he could really tutor Youyou, then Youyou's grades would definitely improve by leaps and bounds!"
With that in mind, Liu Xiaolan waited expectantly for Shi Zhan's reply.
Shi Zhan stared intently at Wu Youyou, as if trying to see into his heart through her eyes.
Wu Youyou immediately felt guilty and lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at him.
Upon hearing this, Song Shaojie immediately thought it was a great idea, perhaps the best way to quickly improve Wu Youyou's studies. He excitedly looked at Shi Zhan.
"Zhanzhan, please agree to tutor Wu Youyou. This is a lifesaver, and I don't want the beauty to end up as a nun!"
Wu Youyou's long black hair was held in Liu Xiaolan's hand. Her expression was somewhat sorrowful as she murmured softly...
"I'm so envious of your beautiful hair. You're too hard on yourself, using it to make a bet."
Instantly, Liu Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she raised her voice.
"Don't worry, Youyou. If you really lose, just shave my head!"
Song Shaojie's eyes widened.
"Lazybones, you really go to great lengths for your friends!"
Wu Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Liu Xiaolan. She was truly blind; how could she have missed having such a wonderful roommate in her past life?
"Your hair is just as important. Whether you can win or not depends on whether the talented Shi Zhan is willing to help."
"Yes, of course I'm willing!"
Song Shaojie kept giving Shi Zhan meaningful glances.
A barely perceptible smile flashed in Shi Zhan's eyes as he said lightly,
"I'm very strict!"
Wu Youyou was stunned. She had thought Shi Zhan wouldn't agree, but he actually did.
The first to cheer was Liu Xiaolan.
"Great! Shi Zhan agreed to tutor you, Youyou!"
Wu Youyou naturally understood, and she added one more sentence.
"Shi Zhan is now a recommended student to Peking University. The three of us have poor grades and need tutoring. Let's study together and try to get into Peking University."
Liu Xiaolan: "..."
Song Shaojie: "......"
What a joke! Liu Xiaolan knew that getting into a decent second-tier university would be the best he could hope for. Peking University was something he had never even considered. And Song Shaojie had never even thought about it. If he could get into Peking University, his father wouldn't have arranged for him to go abroad.
Seeing that they both looked somewhat dejected, Wu Youyou wanted to comfort them.
"You should still have dreams, what if they come true?"
Shi Zhan smiled. He wanted to see just how many more surprises Wu Youyou could bring him!
......
In Kyoto, at a prestigious high school, a girl sits on the steps of the playground. The setting sun shines on her, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Her expression is somewhat sad, and it's unclear what she's thinking.
A boy stood not far behind her, tall and handsome, staring at her with a look of infatuation.
He walked slowly over and sat down beside her, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
"Ziyao, what are you thinking about?"
Wei Ziyao recognized Shi Yuan's voice. She looked up at the sky.
"It's been over a year. I wonder if Shi Zhan is doing well over there."
When Shi Yuan heard the name Shi Zhan from Wei Ziyao, his brows furrowed, and his tone became slightly unfriendly.
"What's so good about Shi Zhan? He's cold-hearted and callous. What do I lack compared to him? He's an unloved person in the Shi family, and my father wouldn't hand over the family's legacy to him. I really don't know what you like about him?"
Wei Ziyao suddenly stood up, her eyes devoid of any sadness, instead filled with coldness. She said in a deep voice,
"Shi Yuan, I won't allow you to talk about Shi Zhan like that. Your Shi family is great, but our Wei family is no less so. With the Wei family backing him up in the future, I won't let you look down on him!"
Shi Yuan felt a surge of anger in his chest that nearly suffocated him; he was furious.
"Ziyao, Shi Zhan doesn't like you at all. If you continue like this, you'll hurt yourself!"
“How could that be? I’ve been following in his footsteps all along. He was admitted to Peking University through the guaranteed admission program, and I also studied hard and became the top student in my grade, so I was also admitted to Peking University through the guaranteed admission program. I’ve done a lot for him, and I don’t believe he can’t see it.”
"It's not worth it for you to treat that heartless person like this!"
"Stop talking, I'm going to see him this weekend, I want to ask him in person!"
Shi Yuan's eyes widened.
"But didn't you agree that you wouldn't see him before the college entrance exam?"
Wei Ziyao was taken aback, but she really wanted to see Shi Zhan, and she still wouldn't give up.
"At that time, I'll just watch him from afar!"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, Shi Zhan is someone who doesn't understand love at all, your efforts will be in vain!"
Wei Ziyao couldn't stand Shi Yuan saying such things in front of her, but the more he said it, the more she liked Shi Zhan. She gave a bitter smile.
"No, you don't understand him at all. He has a heart and love, but he just doesn't love your Shi family."
"His child is that of a mistress; he doesn't deserve her at all!"
"Shut up~"
