Chapter 168

"I put in a lot of effort to pursue him, but I still lost in the end."

Qiao Ranxin gave a somewhat helpless smile.

I still vividly remember the time when I was competing with all the other girls for Wu Xingsheng.

Those were very interesting and fulfilling days.

Perhaps because Wu Xingsheng was right beside her, she had never been so happy.

Even when she bickers or plays pranks with the other sisters, it's all enjoyable.

"At that time, countless young ladies from wealthy families secretly admired Wu Xingsheng and offered him their affections."

"There were dozens of suitors, including myself, but we all lost to your mother in the end."

At this point, Qiao Ranxin suddenly walked barefoot in front of Wu Liang.

He squatted down and reached out to touch Wu Liang's cheeks.

With her beautiful eyes gazing intently, she carefully observed the handsome face that looked exactly like Wu Xingsheng's when he was young.

Her sisters were all very talented, but none of them could rival her.

However, Wu Xingsheng ultimately chose Mu Xinrou as his partner, who had no outstanding qualities.

She couldn't even understand why Wu Xingsheng would choose the other person.

Because at that time, there were far more women than Mu Xinrou.

Moreover, Qiao Ranxin is more outstanding than those women.

But Wu Xingsheng chose Mu Xinrou as pure and simple as clear water.

It wasn't until many years later, at the couple's wedding, that this happened.

She only understood when she saw the happy smiles on Mu Xinrou and Wu Xingsheng's faces.

It turns out that liking someone really doesn't need any reason.

Because Mu Xinrou is the only woman who can make Wu Xingsheng show that kind of genuine smile.

"You summoned me here just to say this?"

Wu Liang frowned as he looked at Qiao Ranxin, who was squatting in front of him.

Smelling the other person's fragrance, Wu Liang stopped looking at them.

This angle is far too dangerous; if you're not careful, you'll see what the other person's blue robe can't conceal...

"I just want to see just how much you've grown."

"As the principal, do I need any other reason to see my students?"

Qiao Ranxin stood up, turned her back to Wu Liang, and chuckled softly.

She roughly understood why Su Qian was so obsessed with Wu Liang.

If it were Wu Liang now, it would be perfectly normal for him to attract Su Qian.

After all, decades ago, she and her sisters were also attracted to Wu Xingsheng in the same way.

"Wu Liang, you and your father are very similar, yet completely different."

Qiao Ranxin put her hands behind her back.

With his back to Wu Liang, he revealed a smile full of teasing and sarcasm.

That bastard Wu Xingsheng will only ever have Mu Xinrou as his life partner.

But this brat in front of me is much more adept at matters of the heart than Wu Xingsheng...

Chapter 10: Wu Liang Wants a Perfect Score

The mock exams at the end of the month don't feel real to the students.

Everyone was quite confident in their own abilities, so this kind of exam was nothing special.

The classroom remained lively and bustling.

But Wu Liang is now in a very difficult situation.

Keep in mind that his usual grades are currently only 0.

This means that 30 points have been deducted from his total score.

Even if he gets a perfect score on the written test the day after tomorrow, he will only get a maximum score of 70.

This exam will determine whether he can successfully advance to the next grade.

If he fails, he will definitely fail to advance to the next grade next year.

He needs to repeat a year of study before he can advance to the third year.

Not being able to advance to the next grade means being separated from Nan Zhu He Xue.

That means he couldn't witness firsthand the Nan Zhu's daily activities and the interactions between the various female leads.

What if the male Nan Zhu causes any trouble during his interactions with the female leads?

In the end, the only one who will suffer is Wu Liang himself.

He certainly didn't want to be killed by the plot because of the Nan Zhu's mistake.

"I need to get promoted... I absolutely have to..."

Staring at the textbooks laid out on the table.

Wu Liang, sitting in his seat, twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand.

He must move up a grade with Nan Zhu; he absolutely cannot repeat a grade.

This isn't because he doesn't really trust the Nan Zhu, but because he, as a Jo-level character, doesn't trust the Nan Zhu.

The development of the Nan Zhu's relationships with the various female protagonists is crucial to his life.

He was unwilling to entrust his life to a mere boy who hadn't even grown up yet.

Therefore, in this monthly exam, he must achieve a perfect score or close to a perfect score in all subjects.

Only in this way can he retain his qualification for promotion.

"Boss, hey! What are you thinking about?"

"Wu Liang, you've been spinning your pen for over ten minutes now."

The Rat and the Nan Zhu sitting to the side looked at each other in bewilderment.

What's wrong with Wu Liang today? He seems a bit strange.

The other party has been looking like this for quite some time now.

He sat there motionless, like a stone, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm? No, I was just thinking about the monthly exam the day after tomorrow."

Wu Liang, regaining his senses, stopped what he was doing.

He turned his head to look at Nan Zhu and the Rat.

However, on the other hand...

I don't know if it was just his imagination.

He always felt that the relationship between the Rat and the Nan Zhu was getting better and better.

The Rat had clearly been looking down on the Nan Zhu.

How come they look like best buddies now?

"Ah! The monthly exam!!!"

The Rat suddenly slapped its forehead.

Suddenly, as if something had been heard, he shouted out.

"Hey bro! If you fail again, are you going to have to repeat the year?"

The Rat grabbed Wu Liang's hands and asked with a wronged expression.

The student who consistently ranked last and the student who ranked second to last had a difference of two to three hundred points in their scores.

Moreover, the eldest's grades have been this poor for a year in a row.

According to the academy's rules, the eldest student may not be able to advance to the next class.

"Repeat a grade? Will Wu Liang be held back a grade?"

Nan Zhu frowned upon hearing this.

He had never heard of repeating a grade here.

I finally became friends with Wu Liang, how could I just break up with him like that?

"If I fail this monthly exam, I'll have to go back to school next year when I move up a grade."

Wu Liang said calmly, resting his chin on his hand.

It was as if they were talking about a trivial matter.

He wasn't worried about repeating a grade at all.

They weren't worried about how difficult the exam questions were or whether they would affect his performance.

Even without that brain that has been elevated to the level of a supercomputer.

It's just some high school knowledge; with his own abilities, it's a piece of cake.

What worried him was something else entirely.

If he really does retain his qualification for promotion with perfect scores in all subjects.

How will the other students and teachers view him?

Would you suspect that he cheated during the exam?

Moreover, this would make him a focal point of attention within the academy.

Tsk, this will only create a lot of trouble.

"No, boss! I don't want to be separated from you!!"

The Rat pretended to hug Wu Liang and start howling.

But before he could get up, the Nan Zhu next to him pressed him back into his seat.

"Wu Liang, how about we give you some extra tutoring after school?"

"Although my grades aren't exactly outstanding, they should be able to help you in some way."

Nan Zhu said with concern, pressing down on the mischievous Rat beside him.

Although he was only in the top 20 of his grade.

But he still has considerable confidence in this monthly exam.

Even last-minute preparation can be effective; a two-day intensive training session should yield some results.

"Nan Zhu, your feelings for me..."

"Wu... Wu Liang... I can help you with something too..."

Just as Wu Liang was about to reject Nan Zhu.

A soft female voice suddenly sounded behind them.

He Xue, who had been holding the book and was standing beside the three of them without them noticing, lowered her head and spoke softly.

She had just heard the news that Wu Liang might have to repeat a grade.

She didn't want Wu Liang to fail the monthly exam; she hoped Wu Liang could move up a grade with her...

"He Xue?"

Nan Zhu looked at He Xue, who was standing obediently beside him, with some surprise.
