Qin Siyang opened the door, saw Wen Shu, and asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"
"Oh, I just wanted to talk to you for a minute."
"In the lobby?"
"No need. It's just a few words. Would it be all right to talk in your room?"
"Of course! Absolutely!"
Ever since Qin Siyang had realized that his room was too messy to receive Wen Shu, he had resolved to mend his ways and paid extra to have the Guesthouse's cleaning staff clean it five times a day! His room was spotless, tidy, and odor-free, and the staff throughout the Guesthouse had been privately gossiping about him...
No harm done.
In any case, opportunity favored the prepared.

After entering the room, Wen Shu stood quietly to one side and waited for Qin Siyang to close the door.
"Please, have a seat."
"Okay."
They sat opposite each other on the sofa, and Qin Siyang poured Wen Shu a glass of water.
"What a coincidence. I saw on the Forum that the Gaokao results were out, and I was just thinking of asking how you did."
Wen Shu picked up the glass and gave him a small, slightly bitter smile. "That's what I came to tell you."
Seeing her expression, Qin Siyang had a bad feeling, and his heart sank.
"What happened?"
Wen Shu's eyes held a hint of disappointment. "I... didn't do as well as I'd hoped. I might not get into Nine Dragons College."
What?!
Qin Siyang's smile froze for a second.
Then he realized that Wen Shu must feel worse than he did right now, and he couldn't
