Mu Xiaoxiao was feeling really lazy and leaned her whole weight on Yin Shaojie. In a coquettish voice, she said, “I don’t want to walk anymore. Carry me.”
Of course, Yin Shaojie couldn’t refuse her.
He squatted down in front of her.
Mu Xiaoxiao grinned at him as she leaned on his back and let him carry her.
…
In the afternoon.
It was test time again.
In the classroom, Mu Xiaoxiao whined.
It was math in the afternoon, and there was another test after that.
Mu Xiaoxiao was only able to do English, and the rest… was up to the heavens!
After going through four consecutive periods of tests, Mu Xiaoxiao plopped on the table lethargically. She looked even more miserable than she had in the morning, and it was as if all the life had been sucked out of her.
Yu Zhe turned around to look at her. His gaze held a little heartache towards her plight as he asked hurriedly, “Is math difficult for you too?”
Mu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and sniffled pitifully. “It’s difficult, of course it’s difficult… Even though I learned math in America, why is the math in China so hard? I don’t even understand what it’s talking about!”
Yu Zhe smiled. “I know that our math syllabus is way more challenging than overseas.”
But also, what had she been doing doing class time usually?
Actually, this wasn’t really Mu Xiaoxiao’s fault.
She had come here with the mindset that she would be returning to America to study, so she ignored the syllabus here and didn’t bother to listen carefully in class.
Mu Xiaoxiao really regretted her actions now!
She thought that she was smart and that she was at least not stupid. If she listened in class, she could probably understand some of the questions.
Now that the exam was done, she didn’t know if she had gotten even a single question correct.
When she thought about her potential results…
Mu Xiaoxiao’s exquisite face clouded over with gloom.
“Boohoo… what do I do? Yu Zhe, will I score zero for this exam? I don’t want to, boohoo…”
It would look so bad if she got a zero!
Yu Zhe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “This… I don’t know though. I don’t think anyone has ever scored a zero.”
Would she be the first one then?
Yu Zhe thought that such a fate seemed pretty miserable.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought about her social standing.
She was Yin Shaojie’s fiancée, and he was the subject of school-wide attention. If she really scored a zero, wouldn’t she be the laughingstock of the entire school?
At this thought, Mu Xiaoxiao felt like there was no point to living anymore and plopped on the table.
“Papa, China is too scary, I want to go back to America…”
Just then, the students in the class suddenly quietened down.
Mu Xiaoxiao lifted her head in curiosity and saw the English teacher walk up to the podium with the test papers.
“I will be returning your papers now. Class President and Vice Class President, please help to distribute the papers. Compare your answers with your classmates and see where you went wrong. Explanations will be provided tomorrow.”
The English teacher handed the papers to the Class President and the Vice Class President as he said this.
Mu Xiaoxiao crossed her fingers and cupped her chin with her hands as she watched them give out the papers.
Her paper was handed to her.
Yu Zhe snatched it away. He looked astonished as he exclaimed, “Xiaoxiao, you got the highest score!”
Mu Xiaoxiao said in a muffled voice, “You haven’t even seen anyone else’s score; how do you know that I’ve scored the highest?”
She was very confident in English, and she knew that she wouldn’t score too badly.
Yu Zhe grinned. He slapped the paper down and showed her her marks. “You got a hundred marks. Can anyone else score higher than this?
