A few days later.
At Shangde High.
When the results of the monthly examination were announced, Lu Yichenâs results astounded the entire school once again, showing the rest what being a true top student meant.
The school had initially been worried that he wouldnât be able to attend a mathematics competition afterward, but luckily, his hand was healing well and was almost fully recovered.
Today was the day that he would head to City B for the mathematics competition.
The girls who had a crush on Lu Yichen gathered at the school gates to send him off upon getting wind that he was going to the competition.
âAll the best, Senior Yichen! Remember to take care of yourself; if your hand hurts, donât force it.â
âAll the best, Senior Yichen! We believe youâll get first prize!â
Weâll be waiting in school to welcome your victory!â
The cheers of encouragement repeated continuously.
Mu Xiaoxiao was pulled forward by Han Qiqing. It took an effort to squeeze to the front from the middle of the crowd.
âLu Yichen!â Seeing that he was about to enter the car, Han Qiqing shouted frantically.
Lu Yichen already had a foot in the vehicle, but hearing her voice and seeing Mu Xiaoxiao as he turned around, he got off the car.
He walked towards her and smiled lightly. âWhy are you here?â
The girls around them started to shriek at the sight of his little smile.
âOh my god, Senior Yichen smiled! He smiled! Heâs so handsome!â
Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her nose and glanced askance at Han Qiqing. It wouldnât be appropriate to say that she had been dragged over by Han Qiqing.
She smiled at Lu Yichen as she said, âI heard that you were going off for a competition, and Iâm here to cheer you on.â
Actually, she felt that there wasnât any need to cheer for him, for it should be a piece of cake to win this mathematics competition with his academic ability.
She believed in him wholeheartedly.
Han Qiqing waited for Mu Xiaoxiao to finish her speech before offering the bag in her hands in front of Lu Yichen. She smiled as she said, âThis is something that I⦠and Mu Xiaoxiao made together! Eat this while youâre traveling; we made a lot, so you can share it with the other students and teachers.â
Lu Yichen looked towards Mu Xiaoxiao. âDid you really make this?â
Mu Xiaoxiao couldnât expose Qiqingâs lie and thus replied, âYeah!â
âThank you,â Lu Yichen replied before finally taking the bag willingly.
Even though Han Qiqing knew that he had accepted the bag because of Xiaoxiao, she was still gratified by him carrying the food that she had made and the thought that he would eat it later.
âWeâll not hold you up anymore then. All the best for your competition!â With those words, Han Qiqing pulled Mu Xiaoxiao back into the crowd.
Lu Yichen gave them a wave before entering the vehicle.
The girls around them shrieked again as though his wave was meant for them and waved back hastily.
âSenior Yichen! All the best! Weâll be waiting for your return!â
The vehicle left Shangde High.
Han Qiqing had been staring at the rear of the vehicle and collected her gaze reluctantly.
Mu Xiaoxiao reached out and waved a hand in front of her face. She smiled as she teased, âDo you mind not being so lovestruck?â
Han Qiqing finally turned to look at her. âI donât even say anything when you and Yin Shaojie whisper sweet nothings to each other and engage in public displays of affection!â
âSince when do we do that!â Mu Xiaoxiao said.
âStill denying it?â Han Qiqing hugged her arm and wagged her brows suggestively. In a whisper, she asked, âOh yeah, how did Yin Shaojie confess to you? Iâm dying of curiosity! With such a tyrannical personality, did he also sound bullying when he confessed?â
