Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qin Xiao got up early and accidentally ran into Miao Kaijie during morning exercise. He wanted to say hello and leave, but was pestered by him.

Miao Kaijie ran over to him familiarly, opened his mouth and started to babble non-stop. Qin Xiao responded politely at first, but in the end he simply shut his mouth and sped up in silence.

Despite this, Miao Kaijie was still able to keep up with his pace, talking intermittently and even though he was a little out of breath at the end, he could still be considered to be doing it with ease.

Qin Xiao was a little surprised and glanced at him. The boy's bright eyes were dazzling and his brilliant smile was eye-catching.

"...Have you finished your review?" Qin Xiao was silent for a long time and asked him.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, just watch me show off my skills!" Miao Kaijie laughed.

……

Qin Xiao held his forehead with one hand and looked at his subordinate's test paper with deep resentment.

Why……

Why can't he understand?

Qin Xiao frowned, cold sweat breaking out unconsciously. He grabbed a handful of hair, leaving a few strands of black hair between his fingers.

Qin Xiao pursed his lips and closed his eyes in despair.

Why... he had clearly reviewed it.

Qin Xiao couldn't help but look around. Mo Hanyu beside him was writing with his head down without stopping. According to his observation, Mo Hanyu had already finished writing three subjects.

And he is still struggling with the first door.

Qin Xiao raised his head and looked around a few more times.

Except for Lan Huaiqiu and Qiu Puyue who showed a little struggle, the others showed no expression. And Tian Miao…played with the pen for a while, thought of something, glanced at the test paper, wrote a few words casually, and continued to play with the table.

Qin Xiao felt somewhat desperate.

He clearly memorized all the knowledge points, but why was the result different on the test paper? He clearly understood each word, but when they were added together, he couldn't understand them.

What exactly does he want to take the exam for?

He filled out the test paper with gritted teeth and was the second to last person to leave the examination room - Lan Huaiqiu was the last - and when he went out he saw Mo Hanyu standing by the door waiting for him. When he saw him come out, he walked up to him.

"How is it? You've reviewed, so it should be okay, right?" Mo Hanyu had just asked when he noticed that Qin Xiao's expression wasn't right, and he looked guilty.

"...You don't understand, do you?" Mo Hanyu asked hesitantly.

Qin Xiao coughed twice and looked away.

"Oh, it's okay. It doesn't matter if you fail the test. It's just a small test anyway." Miao Kaijie suddenly appeared, patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, and laughed, "Do you want to go play?"

"No." Qin Xiao had no expression on his face.

Miao Kaijie could only shrug helplessly, turned around and pulled Chen Mo away.

"Hey, he and I have an appointment, go play somewhere else."

Xia Wuliao suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, pulled them apart, and said to Miao Kaijie.

Miao Kaijie raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"What?" Chen Mo was a little confused, "When—"

"I said that two days ago." Xia Wuliao frowned and looked at him. She naturally took his arm and pressed her plump chest against him. Chen Mo quickly withdrew his hand as if he was electrocuted.

"Why are you hiding?" Xia Wu was angry and tightened his grip a little more, "Are you so uncomfortable?"

"No, it's not..." Chen Mo pulled his hands back and explained stutteringly, "It's just... a little bit..."

Seeing that he was really resisting, Xia Wule's eyes flashed with disappointment. He loosened his hand without showing any emotion. He turned around and walked to the front, waving his hand: "Alright, alright..."

"It's over...it's all over..."

Lan Huaiqiu walked to the end, looking dazed and muttering constantly.

"Um...are you okay?" Although Qiu Puryue felt that there were many things she couldn't do, she was probably used to this feeling and didn't feel lost.

“Pu Yue…” Lan Huaiqiu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, clinging to Qiu Pu Yue’s arm, rubbing her with pitiful tears, “It’s over… I didn’t review at all, I’m sure I’ll do poorly on the test.”

"Ah...it's okay, right?" Qiu Puryue didn't quite understand why she was sad.

"I... I've never scored below 95 points." Lan Huaiqiu looked as if the sky had fallen. "From when I was 6 years old until the test before I left home. This time... I'm afraid I'll get below 90 points..."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Seeing her appearance, Qin Xiao thought that she had done poorly in the exam and was eavesdropping quietly on the side: ...

Qin Xiao looked at her several times in a row, his eyes were complicated, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lan Huaiqiu noticed something, raised his head, exchanged glances with Qin Xiao, and then lowered his head in disappointment: "This is terrible... I don't know how to answer any of the questions."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao licked his lips, feeling extremely complicated.

Mo Hanyu saw the reason at a glance and snickered at the side. Qin Xiao glanced at him sinisterly and coughed twice to cover it up.

As expected, when the results were announced, Qin Xiao looked at the large red crosses on the paper and felt frustrated for the first time.

The best student was Lan Huaiqiu. Qi Yuhe read the list according to the overall ranking. Lan Huaiqiu scored above 97 in four subjects and 94 in two subjects. He was not surprised when he heard his own score, but when he heard that his score was the best, he widened his eyes in surprise.

The second was Mo Hanyu. I don’t know if it was intentional, but he scored 95 points in every subject, which was just above the excellent line. He was not surprised at all when he heard his results and ranking.

The third is Yin Xihui, and after that, there are Xia Wule, Miao Kaijie, Chen Mo, Qiu Puyue, Qin Xiao, and Tian Miao.

Qin Xiao looked at the results slowly and couldn't help but sigh.

"Why are you sighing? I told you it's just a small test." Miao Kaijie came up to him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Qin Xiao gave him a half-tired look and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

"Not bad, I passed all the tests." Miao Kaijie chuckled.

Qin Xiao sighed again.

"Don't be like this, think about the bright side. Even though these won't work, your physical skills are top-notch." Miao Kaijie consoled with a smile.

"...It's nothing actually." Qin Xiao closed his eyes, "I'm not good at these things anyway, so there's nothing surprising about it, it's just..."

"I just can't understand why I've been reviewing for such a long time but still get this result?" Mo Hanyu came to the table, glanced at Miao Kaijie, pushed him aside calmly, ignored his incredulous look, and teased.

Qin Xiao glanced back and forth between the two of them, and finally lowered his head, sorted out the books and put them away: "What advice do you two have?"

"Give me some advice?" Mo Hanyu was shocked. "Why do you miss me so much?!"

"Oh, what you said, the second place is full of energy." Miao Kaijie did not hesitate at all and chose to add fuel to the fire, "You didn't help Qin Xiao before the exam, but secretly reviewed on your own and got such a high score, tut tut tut..."

Under Mo Hanyu's murderous gaze, Miao Kaijie laughed a few more times, slowly picked up his small bag, turned around and rushed out, fearing that he would be assassinated if he ran too slowly.

Mo Hanyu had the urge to kill for a moment, and wanted to chase after him and strangle him immediately, but considering Qin Xiao, he had to stay where he was, gritting his teeth and sulking in the direction where he fled.

Qin Xiao even vaguely heard the sound of grinding teeth.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Mo Hanyu turned back suddenly, his eyes shining.

Qin Xiao quickly restrained himself, coughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and was about to say something.

"Qin Xiao, don't worry." Mo Hanyu suddenly grabbed his shoulders, his eyes solemn and serious, "I will make sure you get full marks in at least one subject!"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao: "No, actually——"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Mo Hanyu nodded twice to himself.

Qin Xiao: ...
