When exactly was the next time Gu Panyan had mentioned?
Ever since returning to school on Monday, Wang Ge had been puzzled by this question.
He had tried asking Gu Panyan, but she merely looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
What time? Bullshit!
Seeing the mocking smile at the corner of Gu Panyan's lips, he finally understood. That wicked woman was clearly just dangling a carrot in front of him!
How awful! Absolutely awful!
After spending so much time with Chen Yanxi, he had almost started to believe that everyone was an honest, kind, and hopelessly naive idiot like her.
He had originally planned to demand justice from Gu Panyan, but she had taken his hand of her own accord and held it for the entire class.
Hmm...
In view of her good performance, Wang Ge magnanimously decided to settle accounts with her a few days later.
And then.
The First Mock Exam arrived.
For large-scale exams like this, the exam rooms and seat numbers at Changchuan First High School had always been assigned according to ranking.
Simply put, the top thirty students in the school were placed in the first exam room, those ranked thirty-first to sixtieth in the second, and so on.
Chen Yanxi and Wang Ge had occupied the top two spots in their grade for years, so seats one and two in the first exam room had always belonged to them.
Exams were an incredibly boring process for Wang Ge. These lousy questions were all more or less the same; he had done them countless times and knew the answers at a glance.
That resulted in him solving the questions very quickly. Usually, after finishing, he still had about half an hour left.
Chen Yanxi was even faster than him. Every time he finished, he would see that she had already put down her pen at some unknown point and was quietly gazing out the window, waiting for the exam to end.
What a freak... Wang Ge complained inwardly.
The First Mock Exam lasted two days. During those two days, Wang Ge took the exams in the same room as Chen Yanxi during the day, then went to the library to study with her at night. They could practically be said to have been stuck together all day.
After their outing together over the weekend, Chen Yanxi's attitude toward Wang Ge had improved considerably, and she was no longer as aloof as before.
However, whenever Wang Ge confessed to her, she still rejected him as cleanly and decisively as ever.
Wang Ge did not care about that at all.
He was in no hurry. When pursuing a girl, one could not be impatient. Haste made waste.
The results of the First Mock Exam came out very quickly.
Wang Ge scored 718 points and remained in second place.
Chen Yanxi scored 732 points, far ahead of everyone else and ranking first in the entire school.
As for Gu Panyan, after Wang Ge's serious tutoring and her relentless efforts during this period, she had successfully scored an impressive 326 points in this First Mock Exam!
"Uh, actually, 326 points isn't bad. At least you improved a lot compared to the last exam, right..." Wang Ge tried to comfort Gu Panyan.
"It's fine. I was mentally prepared."
Gu Panyan did not seem sad or disappointed at all. She said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Come on, keep teaching me how to solve the problems."
"As long as you can keep your composure." Wang Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
And so, the two of them threw themselves into another round of hard studying.
The days passed one after another. Senior year was always so dull and tedious. As usual, Wang Ge taught Gu Panyan how to solve problems during the day and went to the library to find Chen Yanxi at night. With two beauties accompanying him, his senior year was unexpectedly quite fulfilling.
Time gradually reached April, and the weather grew much hotter.
The students at school had already changed into cool summer uniforms: short-sleeved shirts on top, with long pants below.
Whenever this time came around, Wang Ge would particularly envy the schools whose uniforms included little skirts.
If the uniforms had little skirts, perhaps Gu Panyan would fulfill her promise and let him touch her legs.
However...
Wang Ge glanced at the girl beside him, who did not wear her uniform at all and treated the school rules like dirt, then scratched his head.
Even if the uniforms really were little skirts, this girl might not wear one...
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Gu Panyan looked up and glanced at him. "Why do you keep looking at me?"
Wang Ge pondered. "I was thinking, since you don't wear the school uniform anyway, why don't you dress a little prettier?"
"Dress a little prettier? Like what?"
"For example, wear a little skirt!"
"Wear a skirt so it'll be easier for you to take advantage of me, right?" Gu Panyan looked at him with a half-smile.
Having his thoughts exposed, Wang Ge was not embarrassed in the slightest. He merely grinned. "It's just that I've never seen you wear a skirt before. I kind of want to."
"Go ahead and want to. Want as hard as you like. It's not illegal to fantasize." Gu Panyan spoke lazily.
"Then why don't you wear the school uniform? Your outfit looks pretty similar to the uniform anyway... You're even wearing long sleeves. Aren't you hot?" Wang Ge tugged at the long sleeve of Gu Panyan's shirt and asked curiously.
"I don't wear the school uniform because I used to wear it whenever I went out to fight. The uniforms were basically all ruined, so I can't wear them.
"As for why I wear long sleeves... do you want to know?"
A teasing curve suddenly appeared on Gu Panyan's delicate, oval face.
"I do." Wang Ge nodded.
"Here, look."
Gu Panyan reached out, pinched the cuff of the long sleeve on her right arm, and slowly pushed it upward until it reached her shoulder.
As she moved, a slender, fair arm was gradually revealed.
Along with it appeared an Evil Spirit etched into her skin, with a blue-green face and protruding fangs.
There was not just one Evil Spirit, but many. Each glared furiously with a hideous expression, resembling the rakshasas and yakshas from mythology. They occupied nearly her entire upper arm.
"What's that?"
"A fun little sticker."
After carefully observing Wang Ge's reaction and confirming that no disgust or revulsion had appeared, Gu Panyan lowered her sleeve and said lazily, "See? It wouldn't look good to expose this at school."
"You care about appearances?"
"I just don't want to get dragged to the Discipline Office for a lecture. What a hassle."
"I see." Wang Ge thought for a moment. "I want to get one stuck on me too."
"You're crazy. It's not something good." Gu Panyan rolled her eyes.
Wang Ge gestured along his own arm. "I want to stick a beautiful girl on myself, the kind with a big chest and long legs..."
Wouldn't sticking that thing on himself make people think he was a pervert?
Gu Panyan could not understand him.
Wang Ge seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked at Gu Panyan, his eyes lighting up. "What if I stuck you on myself?"
A beautiful girl with a big chest and long legs—wasn't the one right in front of him exactly that!?
"...Are you an idiot?"
Gu Panyan cursed him irritably, then turned back to her questions, too lazy to bother with him anymore.
"True, that would be pretty stupid." Wang Ge thought about it and also felt that he had been a little dumb. "You're right beside me, so there's no need to stick you on."
He leaned over with a grin. "Panyan, come on, hold my hand~"
"Get lost. I have to do my questions."
"Do them later. Memorize some vocabulary first. There's no rush..."
I've been blocked twice in a row, and my collections have plummeted. I'm sad.
