Not long after, Han Shilan turned her head, her clear, pearl-like eyes fixed on Yang Feng, and finally spoke:
"Yang Feng... why didn't you come last Friday? Was it because I... I rejected you, so you didn't come?"
Her tone carried a hint of anger, but also a hint of concern.
Yang Feng feigned indifference, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, and said calmly, "No—"
(PS: Thank you so much to tian and Cai for their votes!)

Chapter 51 The Same Examination Room
After replying, Yang Feng stood up and walked to the podium. He glanced at the exam assignment sheet posted on the wall and was taken aback when he saw his seat.
The main issue wasn't that I was assigned a seat in Class 1 for the exam; the main issue was that Xia Yumo was also there, and she was sitting right next to me.
Han Shilan, who was behind, felt a little uncomfortable. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Yang Feng's back. She remembered his indifferent voice just now and bit her red lips tightly.
After looking at the seating chart, Yang Feng returned to the table to get his exam supplies. Without glancing at her, he turned and walked towards the exam room.
Han Shilan's bright, watery eyes were filled with disappointment. She stood up unsteadily, holding her exam tools.
"Shilan, let's go! We're in the same exam room, let's go!"
Her best friend Xia Yiyi walked over with a smile on her face, took Han Shilan's hand, and said.
………
Half an hour later, the first subject was naturally Chinese. This was a joint exam for the city, and the atmosphere in the exam room was very tense. The sound of the electric fan whirring could be clearly heard.
All the students were nervously answering the questions. Many of them had prepared all sorts of cheating tricks to try and get into the top 100 in the grade.
However, there were two proctors present this time, one in front of the other, taking turns moving around, making it impossible to cheat. They could only answer the questions silently.
Many sighs and complaints arose at this moment, making this city-wide exam naturally more difficult than ever before.
Yang Feng picked up the test paper on the table and slowly scanned it. He understood most of the questions, but he hadn't memorized some of the unfamiliar words in the first few questions.
Seeing Yang Feng holding the test paper without writing, Xia Yumo, who was standing to the side, had her beautiful eyes sparkling. She moved the test paper out a lot, wanting to see if Yang Feng would copy it.
Yang Feng put down the test paper, a smile appearing on his lips. With the knowledge in his mind, he should be able to get a score of over 100. He then picked up the pen on the table and began to fill it out rapidly.
Seeing that Yang Feng wasn't looking at her, but instead was still writing furiously, Xia Yumo felt both annoyed and disappointed. Did he really prefer to write something random rather than copy hers?
Girls tend to have a lot of thoughts and are prone to overthinking.
Yang Feng, who was standing to the side, noticed that Xia Yumo was acting strangely, as if she was feeling down. He paused for a moment, then shook his head. What did it have to do with him? He continued answering the questions on his test paper.
About fifty minutes later, after checking everything again, Yang Feng went to bed. Xia Yumo, who was sitting next to him, pouted angrily and thought to herself, "He's not going to sleep after only an hour. Does he really want to be the worst student?"
The exam ended when the bell rang, and all the answer sheets were taken away by the proctor. Yang Feng stretched, twisted his stiff neck, and walked out. At this moment, Xia Yumo, carrying the books for the next exam, came to Yang Feng's side and walked side by side with him.
"Yang Feng, I don't understand why you'd rather write whatever you want than copy mine? If you copied mine, you might even make it into the top 100!"
Xia Yumo's tone was a mix of confusion and annoyance as she tilted her head and looked at Yang Feng, asking a question.
"Why would I copy yours? What's yours is yours, and what's not mine isn't mine. Do you think I could copy yours during the college entrance exam?"
Yang Feng looked at the school gate ahead and replied in a nonchalant tone.
"You..." Xia Yumo seemed choked and unable to speak, then slowly said, "But this time, those who make it into the top 100 can participate in the school's field trip, and I want you to go too..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, like the buzzing of a mosquito, and a blush and shyness swept across her fair face.
"Hmm?" Yang Feng glanced at Xia Yumo out of the corner of his eye. He was a little surprised. He remembered that Xia Yumo should dislike him. She used to like super academic geniuses and hated academically unsavory students, like himself.
Why has her attitude changed so much now? There's even a hint of ambiguity in her tone. Could it be that she's fallen for me just because I saved her once? That sounds too fake.
It was just a simple act of heroism rescuing a damsel in distress...
Besides Yang Feng's heroic rescue, what also captivated her was his calm and confident demeanor that day, his superb medical skills, and the wonderful sense of security he provided.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go this time."
Yang Feng withdrew his gaze, looked ahead, his expression calm, and spoke with confidence.
Seeing his confident demeanor, Xia Yumo almost believed him. But then she thought about it and realized that he had stopped to sleep in less than an hour during the Chinese exam. How could he possibly do well?
Then, shaking his head helplessly, he walked out of the school gate side by side with Yang Feng.
As they were about to part ways, Xia Yumo couldn't help but call out to Yang Feng, "Yang Feng, why don't you come to my house for dinner today? I can help you review your studies, and we'll see how much you can improve!"
Yang Feng turned around, paused slightly, and looked at Xia Yumo with a slightly surprised look in his eyes, thinking to himself, "Could this little girl really have fallen for me?"
Xia Yumo noticed Yang Feng's strange gaze. Feeling flustered, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly said:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm only helping you with your studies because you saved me before. I don't help other people with their studies."
Since they were being so kind as to help me review, I figured I should at least improve a little bit. So I smiled slightly, nodded, and replied, "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that Yang Feng had agreed, Xia Yumo was overjoyed. She thought he would refuse her as coldly as before. She nodded seriously, hugged her books, and walked back with Yang Feng like a little girl.
Yang Feng had considered refusing, but he still wanted to complete the system task and get into the top 100. He just wanted to be more confident.
Meanwhile, Han Shilan, standing behind them, looked at Yang Feng and Xia Yumo walking side by side in the distance with a sad expression in her beautiful eyes, feeling very distressed.
Only after they were out of sight did Han Shilan, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, turn and walk towards the driver's car. The driver, looking at Yang Feng's retreating figure, felt as if he had seen him somewhere before, and couldn't help but say:
