It was exam day. Gu Shangyan and Lu Xuan went together as their exam timing was the same because of their same stream. An Xiulan and Han Zixin went together because they were in the same stream too.

“Pray, I pass the exam, ” Han Zixin sighed.

An Xiulan nodded her head and joined her hands to chant a prayer for both of them. Although they had prepared for the exam, they felt as if they had already forgotten all the topics.

“All the best, ” Shen Yue said as she saw two of them outside the class while the exam would start in ten minutes. Instead of going inside, two of them were strolling outside holding their notes and cramming until their last breath. She didn’t wait for them and immediately went inside the class.

“I think we should go inside now, “An Xiulan said as she looked at the time on her wristwatch. Han Zixin nodded and walked ahead.

As Han Zixin took a step he collided with a female figure. He took a step back, raising his hand in the air.

“Can’t you see where you are going?” Mu Wanwan glared at Han Zixin. “If I missed my exam because of you, I won’t spare you.”

“This girl, the exam still has five minutes before starting, ” An Xiulan said as she pushed Han Zixin behind her back and raised her brow at the girl. It was as if a mother was hiding her child from an evil person. “And if you are really concerned about exams, you should have come sooner or paid attention to your surroundings.”

Mu Wanwan was about to retort when she saw her mother coming her way. Yang Zi stood near her and handed her the water bottle as she said, “Wanwan, you forget your water bottle. Good luck with the exam. I will pick you up later.”







Mu Wanwan’s face broke into a sweet smile. “Thank you, mom.”

As he heard the word mom, Han Zixin’s gaze on the girl hardened. It was as if he couldn’t breathe anymore. He tugged at his tie to loosen it as he was feeling suffocated.

When Yang Zi turned to leave, her eyes fell on a familiar boy. She didn’t know why but she felt happy as well as nervous seeing this boy. She couldn’t understand why she was having this weird feeling about meeting him again.

“Han Zixin, right?” Yang Zi said. “Your school won the music competition. How are you?”

Han Zixin glanced at her for a mere second and then left with An Xiulan without uttering a word.

Yang Zi was left in bewilderment. What was wrong with this boy? Every time, she tried to approach him, he always left. It wasn’t the first time she met him in school and it wasn’t the first time she was ignored. However, it was the first time she took the initiative to talk to him and he left her unattended.

Perhaps, he didn’t like her music as his friend had once said. Yes, she still recalled the girl’s words about how her friend didn’t like her music.

Never mind, she decided to leave for work. Since her work would end early, she could pick Mu Wanwan too.

Inside the examination centre, the invigilator was making rounds in the class while students were calmly writing their papers. As the invigilator turned, Han Zixin lightly pricked her with the pencil tip and she winced. She turned around and he mouthed her to show him a certain question.

An Xiulan scooted to the side and her answer sheet was now completely visible to him. They couldn’t cheat much as it was impossible. But since she had a great talent for cramming all the possible MCQ type of questions that an examiner could put in a question, he decided to not do them himself as he could easily copy from her.







Before the teacher could look at his line, he quickly marked the MCQs on his question paper and he easily scored thirty marks. A grin spread on his lips as he realised that with these MCQs and the few very short questions that he attempted, he had gained the minimum marks. However, since he couldn’t be very cocky, he decided to attempt two short answer questions too.

“Now, class halftime is over, ” The teacher announced and the students gasped. Some complained about how they were only stuck at long answer-type questions and some cried that the time was not enough but not Han Zixin.

He stood up like a proud and mighty king holding his question paper between his index and middle finger and marched to the table of the invigilator.

“Sir, I’m done, ” Han Zixin said and the entire class raised their heads to look at him with their mouths hanging open.

“You finished so quickly?” The invigilator asked as he adjusted his glasses and checked the name, roll number etc on the answer sheet.

“Yes, sir. The paper was so easy, ” Han Zixin replied with a shrug.

“Since the halftime is over, you can submit your paper and all the best for the next exam, ” The invigilator said as he took the answer sheet. He looked at the rest of the class and added, “You boy in glasses. Look at your own sheet. Your classmate even submitted his paper and you are still cheating? What will become of you?”

Yan Shan grumbled under his breath. He wondered since when he turned so dumb in studies that even Big Boss Han was submitting sheets before him? He had to up his game but when he looked at Shen Yue calmly writing her paper, he scratched his head.

Shen Yue of Class K was a humanities topper in the entire school and even she couldn’t solve question papers like Han Zixin did in just half of the time.

0???.?0? Han Zixin came out of the building whistling with his hands in his pocket with no care in the world. What? Someone expected him to be sad after meeting that woman? Oh come on, he had to take responsibility for his own happiness sometimes and she wasn’t worth his sadness.
