Zhu Yaya silently vowed in her heart, at worst, in the future, I'll take care of you!
After all, she was someone who possessed a system!
"Mhm. There have been some other matters lately. So I've been busier." A flicker of warmth passed through Yan Heng's eyes.
Zhu Yaya asked curiously, "What matters?"
Yan Heng just looked at Zhu Yaya with a complicated expression and didn't speak.
"Oh!" Zhu Yaya's expression dimmed a little.
Yan Heng sighed, worried that Yaya might overthink, and softened his voice: "Yaya, you are a sunny girl."
So, you should live in the sunlight. Those shadowy affairs, he would bear alone.
Zhu Yaya was utterly confused.
What did Yan Heng mean?
Could it be that she had a father named "Sunny"? Or was he just praising her for having a sunny personality?
She wanted to press further, but her gaze fell on Yan Heng's inscrutable face, and the question died on her lips.
She thought, Yan Heng hadn't pressed her about why she was following Xu Chun, so why should she press him?
"Well, tell me when you truly want to talk to me about it." Zhu Yaya echoed the words Yan Heng had said to her before, "You're not planning to keep it from me forever, are you?"
Yan Heng was taken aback. He seemed to think of something, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. "Okay."
Only then did Zhu Yaya notice their still-joined hands. She awkwardly pulled her hand free from Yan Heng's. "I, um, I'm going back to the classroom."
As she turned to leave, Zhu Yaya walked a few steps, then looked back at Yan Heng, who was still standing there. Seeing him watching her retreating figure, her face flushed, and she quickened her pace.
The results of the start-of-term exams should have been released quickly. The teachers at Scott High School were always fast at grading, but for some reason, the scores were delayed this time. Some impatient students had already gone to the teachers' office to ask. According to the teachers, it was because there was a problem with one question on the final physics paper.
Another day passed, and the exam results were finally out. Zhu Yaya was once again ranked first in the freshman year. The full score for physics was one hundred, but Zhu Yaya's physics score was one hundred and ten.
Zhu Yaya: !!!
What's going on?
They gave her extra points!
She immediately raised her hand and asked her homeroom teacher, Chang Wen, who was standing at the podium: "Ms. Chang, why is my physics score one hundred and ten? Isn't the full mark one hundred?"
Chang Wen glanced at Zhu Yaya. "Don't worry, we'll praise you in a moment."
It turned out Zhu Yaya wasn't mistaken. The final problem on the physics exam paper was flawed. She was the only one in the entire grade who had spotted it, outlined the issue, corrected the mistake, and even provided the answer to the revised question. The extra ten points were a reward from the teachers, as an encouragement.
Zhu Yaya: Not bad at all!
After class, Zhu Yaya, wanting to share this with Yan Heng, was once again intercepted by Duan Zong, who had come to pursue her.
Zhu Yaya was really fed up! Why did some people get more persistent the more they were rejected?
To maintain her elegant image in public, Zhu Yaya suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and politely repeated the same rejection she'd given yesterday and the day before.
But Duan Zong acted as if he didn't understand, his face still wearing that gentle smile.
Chen Zicheng, holding his own test paper, passed by Zhu Yaya and Duan Zong.
Zhu Yaya thought: Ugh, spotted by this old fossil again. He's going to call me shameless now.
He clutched his paper tightly; he had just come from the teachers' office. The teacher's words were still echoing in his mind—
"Chen Zicheng, look at your start-of-term exam results! You used to be second in the grade. How have you dropped to twentieth! Look at Zhu Yaya from Class One, firmly holding onto the top spot. You should learn from her..."
He shot a resentful glare at Zhu Yaya, who was being pestered by Duan Zong. "Harlot."
Zhu Yaya was speechless: Ugh, just as I thought!
