"We understand!" (×2)
The two excitedly scribbled some notes in their notebooks, then returned to their seats with smug expressions, sharing "Su's High-Score Tips" with the students around them.
People who lack boundaries are really annoying.
However, Su Qing was already used to it. It wasn't the first time he had gotten such a score. It was just that the students on the mainland weren't as vibrant as those on the island.
"Xiao Qing, have some candy!"
Yui was thrilled to see Xiaoqing finally return to her seat. If the two of them continued to argue, Yui would probably have to step in to save the day!
"Buying sugar again? Aren't you afraid of developing diabetes?"
Although Su Qing said that, he still took it. He was just joking.
If diabetes is caused by eating too many candies, you should first think about your own problems, rather than blaming it on a bag of pomegranate candies that cost one dollar and contain 8-9 pieces.
Wait, what is pomegranate candy?
Su Qing was taken aback. Wasn't this the pomegranate candy from the mainland? He used to buy it and eat it often when he was in school.
Tear open the packaging, and mmm, it still tastes just like it did back then~
Even I know that diabetes doesn't just happen from eating a few extra candies!
Yui's little nose suddenly perked up, and she said smugly, as if to say, "You can't fool me, I'm very smart."
"How's the new stock at the school store? I heard a lot of students from mainland China love it!"
"So you bought it especially for me?"
Su Qing smiled.
"That's right, that's right! It's because you got first place, I figured you definitely needed to replenish your sugar levels!"
Yui's nose was turned up high again.
"What's the truth?"
"Uh...actually, I wanted to try it myself too."
Yui tactfully tapped her head with her right hand, closed one eye, and playfully stuck out her pink tongue.
"Eat up, eat up, who can outeat you, you little glutton?"
"A little bit~"
Yui tore open the packaging herself, put it in her mouth for a few seconds, and then asked casually.
"Um, how about it?"
"What?"
"So, do you like eating duck...?"
"I really like it. I haven't had it in a long time and I've been craving it."
Haven't eaten in a long time? Didn't you just transfer from mainland China?
Yui's mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her focus.
After all, the simpler the structure, the faster it can be repaired.
"Really? That's good."
Yui muttered something under her breath.
"You seem happier than before. Do you really like this flavor?"
Although Su Qing has excellent observation skills, she is not omnipotent.
For example, right now he couldn't quite figure out why the little pinky in front of him was shaking its head so happily.
"I...I like it..."
Perhaps because of the candy in her mouth, Yui stammered and spoke unclearly, but Su Qing could still make out the general idea.
He shook his head and smiled. Why did Yui stop talking after eating a piece of candy?
"Eat as much as you like, but actually there are sweeter and tastier options than pomegranate candy..."
"This is very sweet and delicious!"
Yui, unusually, interrupted Su Qing. In the past, Yui would always listen attentively, wanting to hear every single word he said.
"Oh, really..."
Su Qing awkwardly touched his face. He had just meant to say that he would treat her to better candy when he had the chance.
But... since she likes it so much, should we just let it go?
That saved me some money, that's great.
It's like how he learned about "colic" that winter.
Lately, whenever he sees Yui's smile, he can't help but think of the word "sweet".
How amazing, what is this feeling?
Su Qing felt she had to reiterate.
People who lack a sense of boundaries are indeed annoying.
However, Yui is an exception!
"Your smile is very sweet."
In a daze, Su Qing subconsciously blurted out her inner thoughts.
"Eh?!"
Yui was clearly startled by Su Qing's sudden praise. In her panic, she could only turn her gaze to the floor.
After a long while, she dared to quietly raise her eyes, her brows and eyes filled with shyness and joy.
"One more, just one more!"
"Oh, good."
Su Qing did not refuse, and followed almost the same steps as before: take the candy, tear open the packaging, put it in her mouth, and hold it in her mouth.
There is no difference whatsoever.
The only difference might be that this candy isn't as sweet as the previous one.
Su Qing suddenly realized that if you eat something very sweet in a short period of time, then eating something that you normally find sweet will no longer taste sweet.
However, Su Qing felt that this statement was not accurate.
Because the candy he just ate was from the same package that Yui had taken out of it, so the sweetness level should be about the same, but now he doesn't find it sweet.
Or perhaps the manufacturer cut corners!
It's reasonable, but not entirely legal.
……
Speaking of which, did Yui use cherry blossom scented shampoo again today? The air is filled with the fragrance of cherry blossoms.
It smells nice and tastes sweet, and Su Qing quite likes it.
After giving out the candy, Yui had quietly tucked her head away, but her pink bun was still very noticeable, no matter how she tried to hide it, just like the secret feelings of a young girl in love.
However, Su Qing always felt that Yui was a bit silly and hard to read, with everything written on her face, giving off a rather dim-witted vibe.
But actually, our Yui is very smart!
At the very least, Su Qing doesn't even know she's been scammed.
Actually, I wanted to know what flavor of candy Xiaoqing likes. Hopefully, she hasn't found out yet?
[Ahhh, stop! Stop! You can't keep thinking about this! What if we get caught?!]
Then, the girl suddenly realized that although the two of them were not eating the same piece of candy, they were eating the same kind of candy and came from the same bag of candy.
Also, the same time, the same place.
And, the same sweetness, the same mood.
Hmm, why does it feel like... the air is sweet?
Forget it, never mind.
And, that's really nice.
……
Chapter 84 A "great Confucian scholar" will debate the classics for me.
During class, Ms. Hiratsuka began her usual post-exam consolation, and her attitude became much gentler.
Actually, this isn't bad. At least if she were to film a video and post it online, she might get the title of "Most Beautiful and Gentle Teacher," but I don't expect that much.
I just hope she can keep it up and not let her blood pressure spike during the later test review sessions.
Su Qing was bored down there. He hated it when people talked nonsense. He believed that those who meant something didn't need to speak, and those who didn't need to speak. This was his consistent philosophy.
How boring! Let's learn some math instead.
Xiaojing, you've been talking nonsense for five minutes now. First of all, you've wasted five minutes of your own time. There are about fifty people in the class, right?
Okay, let's say 49. Adding Xiaojing herself, that makes 50 people. Using the special mathematical formula from mainland China, we can get that Xiaojing, you wasted a total of 250 minutes!
Zhou Luxun once said that wasting other people's lives is tantamount to murder for money...
Zhang San, the lawyer whom Su Qing greatly admired, said, "You have violated the laws of justice in the galaxy..."
So, Xiaojing, turn yourself in. The outside world is full of bastards!
That's how boys are; when their minds wander, they have an infinitely vast imagination, ranging from interstellar exploration and human crises to deciding what to have for lunch later—anything is possible.
However, there is clearly a downside to doing this.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing."
Su Qing was poked twice by Yui sitting next to her, forcing her to exit meditation mode.
Who, who is calling me?
"Hehe, it seems that Su is studying too hard. No wonder he got first place in the three schools this time. But I don't recommend that everyone follow his example. You should take care of your health."
Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a smile, showing no anger at all because Su Qing had been daydreaming and hadn't heard her call him.
However, the bulging veins under her sleeves betrayed her current mood.
What you're saying makes it sound like if we just work harder and stay up a few more nights, we can get so many perfect scores. That's giving us way too much credit!
The students under the podium were secretly complaining, but they all tacitly kept their thoughts to themselves.
That's ridiculous. With such a bad test score, how could you possibly be in the mood or have the right to joke with your teacher?
First among the three schools? I haven't even opened the transcript twice yet.
Upon opening the envelope, besides a bunch of perfect scores that would be very satisfying for someone with OCD, the two [1] marks were the most eye-catching on the report card.
The first "1" represents the ranking of the second-year students at Zongwu High School, while the second represents the ranking of all three schools.
However, Su Qing was not upset at all; for her, it was just a matter of course.
"Alright, Su, can you stand up now and share your learning experience with your classmates?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a forced smile; she would never have spoken in such a tone if it weren't in a classroom and in front of so many people.
"Uh...experience?"
How can you share this? Learning methods are something you always have to discover for yourself; only those methods and experiences are truly suitable for you. Anyone who blindly promotes their own methods and experiences is probably just trying to make money off you.
However, it seems I can't not say anything, and since we're classmates, I might as well share some useful information with them.
So, under the expectant and curious gazes of everyone, Su Qing slowly uttered the four-word mantra.
"Cooking, just practice more."
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
"Gone?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that her iron fist was about to leave her arm and strike Su Qing's forehead.
