Reason

The hotel rooms have similar layouts. The standard single room is slightly smaller than the standard double room. The bed is a large bed, soft and spacious, but the pillows and blankets are a mess.

Bai Hui hurriedly came in, closed the wardrobe door, and shut the bathroom door. She then casually tidied up the sheets and pillows for a while, feeling somewhat embarrassed. It was rather awkward for a girl to have her room so messy if someone saw it; it didn't fit her usual image.

"Did you stay here last night?" Liu Chang'an asked. Even if Bai Hui was capable of causing trouble, it was still too much to expect her to be in this state by noon. It would be more like a man and a woman doing it.

"I'm afraid I'll be late today." Bai Hui nodded, then added, "My mom's coming over to keep me company tonight."

Liu Chang'an sat leisurely in a chair by the window, charging his phone, and then closed his eyes to rest.

Bai Hui looked at Liu Chang'an, then glanced back at the door, scratching her hair. It was a classic case of "it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away." Liu Chang'an was not one to follow the rules at all. Most people wouldn't even come in; they would just politely say, "I won't disturb you any longer. You should get some rest!"

Will Liu Chang'an be polite? He won't be polite whether he accepts or refuses; it all depends on whether he wants to at the time!

"How did your exam go today?" Bai Hui couldn't just lie in bed and rest, so she made conversation.

"It's alright."

"So, how's your math preparation going?"

"It's alright."

Silence fell over the room.

Liu Chang'an opened his eyes and looked at Bai Hui.

Bai Hui unconsciously tugged at her coat, her fingers pulling the zipper up. Then she felt that this small action was too obvious to prevent accidents, so she pulled the zipper down again. But would this make Liu Chang'an misunderstand that she was seducing him? So Bai Hui just kept pulling the zipper up and down.

"Are zippers fun?"

"OK..."

"If I go out first and run into your mother, what will she think?" Liu Chang'an asked.

"Huh? My mom's not coming until tonight." Bai Hui was startled.

"An Nuan is a very considerate girl. She just wanted me to have a place to rest at noon, and then her mother came." Liu Chang'an wouldn't explain himself, but since it concerned An Nuan's reputation, even if gossip and rumors wouldn't cause An Nuan any real harm, this was something An Nuan shouldn't have to endure.

"I understand." Bai Hui's face flushed slightly. Liu Chang'an's tone was frank and natural, which reminded Bai Hui of all her previous guesses and inappropriate imaginings. She felt a little embarrassed. Besides, was it just intimacy between lovers or close friendship? What was she thinking? It had nothing to do with her.

Liu Chang'an nodded, not saying anything more, "You should get some rest... I won't disturb you any longer."

"Wait a minute..." Bai Hui called out to Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an stopped in his tracks.

"Why do you like An Nuan?" Bai Hui was still somewhat unconvinced. Liu Chang'an had liked An Nuan for three years, not Bai Hui. This topic was still occasionally brought up, as if she, Bai Hui, was a joke who had been deluding herself, which made Bai Hui feel resentful.

"It's beautiful."

"What?"

"Because she's pretty."

"That's it?" Bai Hui looked at Liu Chang'an incredulously. "That day at the KTV, you didn't describe it like this at all. You recited a whole bunch of poems like that."

"Hmm... long legs, slim waist, good figure, cute personality... quite a lot."

Bai Hui tilted her head. Aside from her legs not being as long as An Nuan's, wasn't she pretty, with a slim waist, a good figure, and a cute personality? Bai Hui could even dance! Oh, An Nuan also had athletic talents, but was a girl sweating profusely while playing sports really attractive to boys?

Most importantly, isn't well-developed breasts a common preference among boys? And what he said is a bit too superficial!

"An Nuan is very cute." Liu Chang'an thought for a moment, "There are many good-looking girls, but girls who are both good-looking and cute are rare. Most importantly... in the more than 10 billion years since the universe was born, only one An Nuan has appeared. Such a girl just happened to appear next to me, and then, coincidentally, she also likes me..."

"Everyone is one in over ten billion years since the universe was born!" Bai Hui thought Liu Chang'an's words sounded romantic on the surface but were actually nonsense.

"I like things that are special, is there a problem with that?"

Bai Hui was speechless.

Before the afternoon exam started, Liu Chang'an received a call from An Nuan, who had already arrived outside the exam hall. This natural and proactive attitude actually comforted Huang Shan.

An Nuan came by herself; Liu Chang'an did not see Liu Yuewang.

"Didn't your mom want to give it to you?"

"She didn't want to come over when she saw reporters and people live-streaming on their phones around."

Why?

"Because students at school would often secretly take photos of her and post them online, which annoyed her a lot."

Women are so contradictory. Liu Yuewang herself doesn't like to show her face in public, but she's very enthusiastic about managing her daughter's Weibo account.

"You're concerned about my mom again!" An Nuan slapped Liu Chang'an several times.

"You can do whatever you want after the exam," Huang Shan said gently as he came over to stop them.

Gao Dewei ran over to Liu Chang'an and said, "After the exam, let's compare our answers and then we can determine our scores."

Huang Shan didn't say anything. Generally speaking, students are not encouraged to check the answers before the exam is over. However, it is almost impossible for Gao Dewei and Liu Chang'an to have any major mistakes in their math scores. In addition, Liu Chang'an is only very unstable in Chinese and English. As for the math exam, even if he is given the opportunity to do his own thing, he can't do anything special.

"Then stay away from me when you're comparing answers," An Nuan said, tugging at her ear.

Liu Chang'an grabbed her hands and covered them with her ears, showing her the correct way to cover her ears.

Bai Hui stood at a distance, watching the intimate little gestures between Liu Chang'an and An Nuan, especially the feeling overflowing from An Nuan's lips and eyes.

Sweet? In short, the kind of feeling that makes onlookers feel incredibly sweet... Bai Hui was a little confused. Could being in love really make someone feel this tingly sweet?

What's it like to be with someone you like and someone who likes you...?

She was so happy when she didn't buy the cosmetics, dresses, and bags she liked, and Bai Hui felt that her faith was unshakable.

Love is just an embellishment; shopping apps are the greatest invention in human history.

After finishing the math exam, Liu Chang'an and Gao Dewei compared answers. Several grandparents and parents had gathered around Gao Dewei, watching him and Liu Chang'an calmly. Their eyes were full of encouragement and praise when they looked at Liu Chang'an. After all, they all knew that someone who could make Gao Dewei pay attention to the other's problem-solving approach and answer must have excellent grades and be a good child.

There is some controversy, but it's just a difference in problem-solving approaches; the answer is the same. The answer that Liu Chang'an and Gao Dewei came up with is basically the standard answer.

An Nuan was going to the teahouse to meet her mother and refused Liu Chang'an's offer to take her home, so Liu Chang'an had to go home by himself.
