remuneration?
Well, it's obvious without even thinking that it's something indecent.
Shang Yunmiao and Chen Bing had been in a semi-official relationship for a year or two, so how could she not guess what this so-called remuneration meant?
The shy girl glanced around at the people before agreeing to Chen Bing's request.
"Alright then... Just tell me first, and I'll pay you after we get home, okay?"
Chen Bing, who always tends to judge others by her own petty standards, thought to herself that if they really followed Shang Yunmiao's idea, then the reward would become a real reward later.
So he replied decisively, "No, sir, we only accept payment before delivery."
He thought that Shang Yunmiao would seriously argue that there was no such logic to it, but to his surprise, the child directly agreed to this way of doing business.
"Okay~ Let's hurry up and go." Shang Yunmiao tugged at Chen Bing's wrist and took his hand quite proactively.
Oh? You're so eager to know the answer...
Chen Bing touched her chin with her free hand, thinking carefully for a moment. It made sense; after all, Shang Yunmiao was such a diligent person, having worked so hard for the high school entrance exam, it was only natural that she wanted to know her results as soon as possible.
However, while we understand, we still can't let Chen Bing miss out on the benefits she deserves.
He'd made up his mind: this time, he was determined to take one more of Xiao Shang's remaining two wishes. Not only that, he wanted the wish, and he wanted Xiao Shang himself!
Come to think of it, I already gave Xiao Shang the love letter I wrote before, but I haven't held a lottery for it yet, nor have I held a lottery for the photo pose request I made. Also, Shang Yunmiao promised to write me a love letter, but she hasn't given it to me yet, even after all this time.
And also, when exactly will she make her last two wishes? If she does, I can participate in the lottery and redeem them. And then there's the matter of what happens after the results come out; if she does well, she'll have to reward herself with a small gift…
As soon as the exam was over, there were so many things she wanted to do that Chen Bing had to sort them out one by one.
In short, the priority should be to use the pretext of giving the answer to coax out Xiao Shang's second-to-last wish.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing tugged at Shang Yunmiao's wrist. When the other turned around in confusion, Chen Bing smiled and said to her, "If you're really eager to know the answer, you can use a wish indicator."
Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, the quick-witted Shang Yunmiao sensed something was wrong.
No, the promised reward was supposed to be... um... I don't think I've said what the reward was, but judging from Chen Bing's meaning, it's nothing more than that. And the price for Chen Bing fulfilling my wish is to give him a chance to win a prize afterward, the prize being, of course, a bitch's lip.
So, isn't his approach just a way to get something for nothing?
Shang Yunmiao exposed Chen Bing's insidious scheme, but the other party even explained that her wish was actually for the effectiveness of time.
Hearing this shameless argument, Shang Yunmiao was both ashamed and speechless.
Please, I'm not a fool, how could I possibly fall for your tricks every time?
While kissing a few more times wouldn't hurt, it's still important to resist a little. Otherwise, this line of defense will weaken, and what will happen later? What will I have left to reward Chen Bing with?
After being firmly rejected, Chen Bing's scheme failed, and he could only sigh in disappointment, thinking that there was indeed no such good deal in the world.
Oh well, I'm just a small-time cricket seller. I only gave you the wish system to play with to add some fun. If I really wanted to kiss you, could you possibly refuse?
With this rather foolish thought in mind, Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao walked down the stairs hand in hand.
After leaving the teaching building, the two saw many small puddles on the uneven ground. The blue sky after the rain was gently reflected in the puddles. Although it was already mid-July, the weather was still very cool.
It is now 11:09 a.m., and the annual junior high school entrance examination in Asatsu City has just ended.
Many students, relieved after finishing their exams, cheered and ran towards the school gate to greet their parents who had come to pick them up... but obviously no one did.
This doesn't mean they don't have parents, but rather that the school bus that picks them up is the school's own bus.
After all, the students who come to this test center are all from rural middle schools, and very few of them live in the county town.
Just like last year, Baishi No.1 Middle School also had a line of school buses coming, and you could see them right from where you were looking towards the school gate.
Upon seeing the familiar school bus, Shang Yunmiao's thoughts suddenly drifted back to a year ago, to the afternoon after the biology and geography exams, when the breeze carried away her thoughts.
Honestly, using noon as the end time for the middle and high school entrance exams is not a good idea, because if there isn't a beautiful sunset or a melancholic twilight, it feels like a disservice to all the hard work you've put in over the years.
But today was alright, because it was after the rain, because there was a cool breeze, and because it was so beautiful, it still evoked Shang Yunmiao's feelings.
Once you get to high school, the management will be much stricter...
Chen Bing had excellent grades. I might have been able to keep up with him in junior high, but it would be difficult for me to go to the same school as him in high school and before the college entrance exam...
High school will definitely be harder than middle school, I guess. Maybe I'll have to live on campus and there will be stricter teachers...
The academic pressure must be immense every day, and I might even regress...
If I can't be in the same class as Chen Bing because of my bad grades, then I won't have the chance to spend every day with him, listen to him explain problems, sleep next to him, drink water from his cup, secretly hold his hand during breaks, or wander around during PE class...
I've heard that the summer vacation after the middle school entrance exam is the most carefree time before the college entrance exam...
If I'm still hesitant and indecisive at this point, then there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for intimacy in the future...
In that instant, Shang Yunmiao thought about many things and finally made a decision.
"Chen Bing, a year has passed in the blink of an eye."
Chen Bingxin thought that Xiao Shang must have remembered what he had said to her a year ago.
"Well, but don't think it's all over. There's still the college entrance exam waiting for us in three years." Chen Bing said seriously, which was unusual for her. Normally, these words should have come from Shang Yunmiao's mouth.
For Chen Bing, what was even more unusual was Shang Yunmiao's attitude.
"At least we can still have fun during the rest of the holiday, right?" Xiao Shang seemed to be deliberately acting cute. She leaned slightly against Chen Bing's chest, her little hands behind her back, looking exhausted.
It's rare to see a girl in such a languid state, and Chen Bing realized that something good might be about to happen.
Sure enough, she suddenly blushed a little and then repeated the previous sentence.
"We...we can still have fun, right?"
Shang Yunmiao emphasized the word "play" when she said it.
Seeing the girl's shy demeanor, Chen Bing was immediately overjoyed. He knew exactly what she meant by "playing." However, to verify that this wasn't just his wishful thinking, Chen Bing needed to confirm it first.
"Play?" The boy's eyes were filled with hesitation and anticipation.
"Yes! Let's play." The girl's eyes were filled with shyness and anticipation.
Hey, hehe! So, I'm not the only one looking forward to relaxing after the high school entrance exam. You little rascal, you've been wanting a kiss for ages, haven't you? Seriously, then why were you acting all resistant just now?
Crickets chirping in the misty clouds! Quickly jump into my bowl!
Excited Chen Bing wanted to possess Shang Yunmiao right now and play with her, but this place was too crowded. She had to wait until they got home, or even back to their bedroom, before they could kiss.
After thinking it over, Chen Bing was also looking forward to going home. But before that, there was something else to do. Since going home to "play" was a done deal, the question of what answers to give in exchange for a reward was no longer important.
Thinking of this, Chen Bing happily said to Shang Yunmiao, "Since you're willing to 'play' with me properly, then I won't ask for the reward!"
Chen Bing waved his hand dramatically, displaying great magnanimity. Shang Yunmiao, upon hearing this, suddenly felt both nervous and excited.
"Hmm... let me think, you're asking about the fifth question in the listening section, right?"
"Mmm!" Shang Yunmiao nodded repeatedly.
"That question, the answer to that question is D."
Did you... answer correctly?
(The high school entrance exam is over! I feel this chapter isn't very well written, so I revised it several times before it was late. To apologize, I specially wrote an extra 600 words to share with everyone!)
