"Damn it." Su Jinning sat back down, bored, and listlessly slumped onto the table.
As Shen Moyu moved closer to the table, the scratching sound of her writing became clearer, which had a somewhat hypnotic effect on Su Jinning, who was ill.
He turned to look at Shen Moyu's profile. In the quiet light, the gold-rimmed glasses reflected the light. He gently leaned closer, pressed his face against the pen, and whispered, "Why don't you sleep with me and make sure I cover myself with the blanket?"
"……"
Without a word, Shen Moyu picked up a pen and stabbed it at Su Jinning. "Ouch! Ouch!" Su Jinning recoiled as if her bones were being pulled out, looking at him with resentment: "What are you doing?!"
Shen Moyu pushed up his glasses: "To harvest a kidney."
Su Jinning covered her kidney tightly: "What?"
Shen Moyu twirled the pen, smiling lightly: "I'll give you a kidney and sleep with you."
"……"
Su Jinning lowered her head and drew a zipper over her mouth.
Shen Moyu turned back to his book and said, "The exam is next week. I'll come to your house during the holiday to do the practice papers I bought for you last time."
"Ah?" Su Jinning let out a wail.
"What?!" Shen Moyu turned around and glared at him, looking like a strict teacher: "The high school entrance exam is very important."
Su Jinning pouted in dissatisfaction. He was already sick and had a headache, and hearing Shen Moyu's words made his head feel like it was about to explode.
To give the students ample time to prepare for the high school entrance exam, the school unprecedentedly granted them a few days off to study. He had hoped to make the most of these last two days of the season to boost his scores, but unexpectedly, Shen Moyu's instruction ruined everything.
Seeing him pouting and remaining silent, Shen Moyu gave a knowing snort: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'll be watching you these next two days; no games allowed."
"Holy crap!" Su Jinning coughed twice in his excitement, his face contorted with grievance. "Seriously, you academic genius? We've finally had so many days off, can't you at least let me catch my breath?"
Is the first step to good grades having no holidays?
This is unreasonable.
Shen Moyu turned to look at him with a "I'm right" expression: "Those extra days off from school are for studying, not for you to play."
Perhaps Shen Moyu's words made too much sense, because Su Jinning immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to say a word.

During the lunch break, half of the students in the class had left when Shen Moyu finally tidied up the messy textbooks on her desk and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
He nudged Su Jinning, who was still dozing beside him, and said, "Let's go eat. If we're any later, we might not be able to get any."
Su Jinning didn't move, seemingly fast asleep. It wasn't until Shen Moyu nudged him a third time that he slowly lifted his head from the table.
He turned around and looked at him sleepily, his face still bearing the marks of books.
Looking around, it dawned on me: "Huh? It's lunch break?"
Shen Moyu hummed in agreement, looked at his messy hair from sleeping, and went over to smooth it out: "If it weren't for the fact that the last class was a self-study period, I would have dragged you out of bed long ago."
Su Jinning chuckled, his nasal tone making him sound particularly憨憨 (simple and honest).
Upon entering the cafeteria, there weren't many people queuing anymore. After getting their food, the two began looking for a seat.
They arrived too late and the restaurant was almost full. There were so many people eating that it was noisy and chaotic, and the noise gave Su Jinning a headache.
"Brother Ning! This!"
As the two people were holding plates and wondering where to go, Chen Hang's voice came from the innermost part of the room.
Su Jinning breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied; this timely help was quite good.
"Why are you two down here so late?" Chen Hang asked, putting a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
Shen Moyu picked all the cilantro off his plate: "I didn't finish the test paper."
"Oh." Chen Hang couldn't help but sigh. Shen Moyu was the perfect example of someone who studied so hard that he forgot to eat and sleep.
Chen Yuanyuan was looking at the list of branch schools when she turned around and asked, "Hey, by the way, which school are you and the top student taking the high school entrance exam at?"
Song Wenmiao wiped his mouth and asked in confusion, "Isn't the list supposed to be released tomorrow?"
Chen Yuanyuan patted her chest, her small face beaming with pride: "Tch, I have plenty of connections. I saw the list yesterday."
"Tch." Chen Hang slammed his hand over the food on his plate and said sarcastically, "A handsome senior from high school, a guy I've known for fifteen years, a childhood friend, we're really close."
He emphasized the word "man" very heavily, and his whole body reeked of jealousy.
Chen Yuanyuan exclaimed, "Hey! I already said we're just friends, what are you thinking?"
Chen Hang stuffed a big mouthful of food into his mouth: "Oh."
Shen Moyu couldn't help but laugh as well. Looking at Chen Hang's sullen expression, she joked, "I never thought Chen Hang would be so stingy with words."
Song Wenmiao pursed his lips: "Yeah, I was wondering who smelled so jealous."
Chen Hang instantly lost face and nudged Song Wenmiao hard with his elbow. Even he himself couldn't help but sigh that he, who always relied on his thick skin to tease others, could be turned the tables on him today.
"Tch." Chen Yuanyuan made a face: "So petty!"
The table was filled with laughter and chatter, but Su Jinning beside her was unusually listless. Shen Moyu turned to look at him and saw that he had barely touched the rice on his plate, as if it were frozen in place, with a mouthful of food in his mouth that he hesitated to swallow.
Shen Moyu seemed to notice something was wrong and patted him on the back: "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
