Chapter 85: She Suddenly Appeared

The 99th Confession Was Rejected, the Aloof Campus Belle Strongly Flirted With Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Jiang Muye froze, then suddenly raised his head, and there he saw the slender, pretty Leng Ruoli. She wore a young-green JK outfit that showed off her slim waist and long legs, and she carried a brown bag as she walked toward him, bashful.

The moment he saw her, it felt like sunlight was washing over him.

Even the air carried a faint, elegant fragrance.

"You have to do your best on the CET-4 today," Leng Ruoli said, her lashes fluttering slightly as she gazed at Jiang Muye shyly.

"Yeah, I'll do my best."

"Here, this is for you." Leng Ruoli opened her bag and took out a thermos, handing it to Jiang Muye.

"What's this?" Jiang Muye asked curiously.

A faint smile appeared on Leng Ruoli's pure face. "Goji berry tea. It brightens the eyes and refreshes you. Drink it and you'll feel much more energized~"

"Okay, thanks, I'll finish it all." Holding the thermos in his hand, it felt warm, and even Jiang Muye's heart warmed along with it.

"Wait, there's more." Leng Ruoli rummaged in her bag a bit, then quickly pulled out a large pencil case stuffed with a whole lot of 2B pencils—twenty or thirty of them in total—along with several brand-new erasers.

"These are all for you to use. You'll need them during the exam. I didn't know whether you had any, but I figured preparing extra could only be a good thing. Whatever's left over, just share with your roommates." Leng Ruoli's voice was utterly sincere.

Jiang Muye was astonished.

Every one of these pencils had been sharpened to a fine point, and there was even a pencil sharpener tucked inside the case.

It could be said that she was extremely thorough.

Only then did Jiang Muye remember that he'd remembered to bring everything—except his 2B pencils.

"Thanks, did you sharpen these yourself?" Jiang Muye suddenly noticed a faint trace of pencil lead on Leng Ruoli's fingers, standing out starkly against her fair skin.

"I had nothing to do in the morning, so I sharpened a few out of boredom. I hope you get to use them," Leng Ruoli said softly.

"I'll definitely use them. I just happened to forget mine—you really solved a big problem for me." Jiang Muye gave a simple, honest laugh.

"Did you bring your ID card and exam admission ticket?"

"Brought them." He'd paid attention to that, at least.

"That's good." Leng Ruoli smiled. "Then do your best on the exam! I believe you'll definitely pass. I have faith in you!"

"Okay!" Jiang Muye was in a wonderful mood.

"Then I won't hold you up any longer. I'll head off first." Leng Ruoli gave Jiang Muye a charming smile, and with his nod, she trotted away—but every step carried a young girl's unique joy.

Jiang Muye couldn't snap out of it for quite a while.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now you've even got token of love. Can being together be far off?" Little White Dove's tsk-tsk voice rang out.

It immediately pulled Jiang Muye's thoughts back.

Jiang Muye laughed and spat, "Token of love my ass. Here, she gave us pencils, so take some."

"Did she give us pencils? How come we didn't know?" Little White Dove played dumb. "Wasn't it you she gave them to? We were automatically invisible over here. In her eyes, there was only you."

"So what? Usually when your girlfriends are around, you don't exactly hold back on making me invisible either." Jiang Muye snorted. "Do you want the pencils or not? If not, I'll just use them myself."

"Use them, of course we'll use them. We'll need them for the multiple-choice questions later." Little White Dove chuckled and started pulling out pencils.

The other two took pencils as well.

Jiang Muye kept about five or six pencils for himself. They were clearly very light, yet holding them in his hand, they felt heavy.

Soon, it was time to enter the exam hall.

Just as Jiang Muye sat down in his assigned seat, he suddenly noticed a beautiful figure sitting right next to him.

Jiang Muye froze, unable to believe it.

The person beside him was actually Xia Xiran!

She looked utterly calm and composed, her lovely black hair draped over her shoulders. When she met Jiang Muye's stunned gaze, a faint curve appeared on her red lips. "What a coincidence. We got seated together."

"Aren't you taking the CET-6? Why are you in the CET-4 exam hall?" Jiang Muye lowered his voice and asked, puzzled.

Xia Xiran said calmly, "I signed up for both the CET-4 and CET-6. The CET-6 is in the afternoon, and the school allows students who've already passed the CET-4 to retake it, so here I am."

To better help Jiang Muye with his English materials, Xia Xiran had decided to retake the CET-4. On one hand, she still harbored a sliver of hope that she might get to see more of Jiang Muye; on the other, she wanted to score a perfect CET-4.

Even Heaven was helping her—she'd actually ended up in the same exam hall as Jiang Muye, sitting right next to him.

Jiang Muye was thoroughly depressed.

Fate really was playing tricks on him. Out of everyone, how did the two of them end up seated together?

But with Xia Xiran here, he couldn't exactly chase her away. Besides, she hadn't done anything wrong.

Jiang Muye no longer cared whether Xia Xiran sat beside him or not. He just needed to focus on his exam and not let his thoughts wander.

"I'll help you during the exam," Xia Xiran said, looking at Jiang Muye, her voice soft as it brushed across his heart. "As long as I can help you, I'm willing to take any risk."

Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly.

The hand holding his black pen paused, and then he said coldly to Xia Xiran beside him, "No need. I can pass the CET-4. You should have a little faith in me. My English might not be great, but that doesn't mean my character isn't."

Jiang Muye would rather fail than copy someone else's answers.

No matter whether that person was Xia Xiran or not, he was unwilling. Besides, he could rely on his own ability, so why would he need Xia Xiran's help? And if cheating were discovered, the consequences would be unthinkable.

【Congratulations, Host. Rejecting Xia Xiran earned you 200 Grit Points, and the Top Student skill has been fully maxed and upgraded! Wishing the Host a smooth exam and extraordinary performance!】

After hearing the System's voice, Jiang Muye grew even more satisfied.

He felt even more certain that he'd done the right thing.

"I'm sorry." Xia Xiran's choked voice came over.

"It's fine. Just focus on your exam. Good luck on the CET-6 this afternoon." Jiang Muye said it lightly.

Xia Xiran lowered her eyes. They were slightly wet, and she bit down softly on her lip.

He would rather fail the CET-4 than accept her help.

Even if she sacrificed herself, he didn't want it.

Xia Xiran increasingly felt that the distance between her and Jiang Muye had grown vast. Just what would it take to bring him back to her side? Whatever the cost, she was willing to pay it.

At this moment, Jiang Muye tried hard to ignore Xia Xiran's dejected expression, focusing all his attention on the exam paper that had just been handed out.

He knew how to do every question.

They were even too easy!

Looking at the listening questions, Jiang Muye felt he could roughly tell what the answers were without even needing the listening broadcast.

Once the broadcast started, Jiang Muye became even more certain of the answers.

The corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and with great confidence, he wrote his answers on the answer sheet with his black pen.

Beside him, Xia Xiran had been paying close attention to Jiang Muye the whole time. He was utterly focused on the paper, writing down answers with almost no need for thought.

He's probably just writing nonsense.

Xia Xiran bit her lower lip and quickly looked at her own paper. After filling in part of the answer sheet, she began to shift it in Jiang Muye's direction.

All her answers were written especially large.

With just a faint glance, Jiang Muye would be able to see them.
