"Meiji, this is my freedom!" High-light didn't just keep the volume of the speaker at a moderate level—he turned it all the way up. Mei-ji covered her ears, both angry and frustrated, saying, "High-light, I never thought you'd be so unprincipled!" "You're the one who's unprincipled!" High-light countered. Their argument quickly drew the full attention of all the classmates. Tom was secretly delighted and stepped forward, adopting a conciliatory posture in front of Mei-ji, saying, "Mei-ji, just don't bother arguing with this underachiever! How about we switch seats?" Before Mei-ji could respond, High-light interrupted: "Tom, who's the underachiever?" "You! Last time, it was you—" Tom was about to say the final four words, "who cheated by swapping test papers," but he paused when he saw High-light's sharp, knife-like gaze fixed on him. After all, even if he said it out loud, he himself had cheated first.
At that moment, Professor Owen spotted it by the lectern and tapped the lectern loudly, shouting, "Who's the underperformer? Let's wait until we see the results of this school-wide exam! We can't jump to conclusions yet!"
His words prompted the other students to respond in unison, "Oh yes! Oh yes!"
Meiji paid no attention to Gao Liang, simply focusing on reviewing her lessons. Yet, Gao Liang deliberately leaned in close to her and said, "You won't surpass me!"
Meiji pretended not to hear, but Gao Liang beamed with a sly smile, deliberately speaking loudly so that every student could hear, "Meiji says she won't surpass me!"
"Wow! Gao Liang is so confident!" some classmates exclaimed in admiration.
"I think he's just showing off—still dreaming of Meiji being his wife!" another student remarked with a mocking tone.
Meiji couldn't concentrate on her studies. With courage, she stepped forward and said, "Gao Liang, if you're the only male student to surpass me in this exam, then I'll consider it!"
"Oh? You're serious! Great!" Seeing the beautiful school uniform and the stunning view of her chest, Gao Liang was instantly enchanted and said, "So you're agreeing to marry me?" Mei Ji stood there, slightly shy. "Gao Liang, go for it! Outperform her and become her perfect husband!" A Korean male student clapped and cheered enthusiastically. "I'll definitely outdo you! Believe me!" Gao Liang looked full of confidence and determination. Mei Ji said nothing, merely telling Professor Owen at the podium that the classroom was too noisy and suggesting they review in the dormitory instead. Yet Gao Liang followed her. On the way to Mei Ji's female dormitory, Gao Liang suddenly pulled her to a corner, and while she struggled, he passionately kissed her. Mei Ji was stunned by the sudden kiss. Gao Liang was firm and assertive, saying, "Don't treat me so coldly— I'm a flame that will melt your ice. You're my wife! You promised that yourself that day!"
Why did you suddenly turn cold and refuse to acknowledge it now? Tell me, what's the reason?" As he reached for her again, determined to kiss her fiercely, Meiji firmly refused, shouting, "Gao Liang, do you really think you're outstanding? In my eyes, a man who truly stands out is one who achieves first place in three different areas—have you done that?" "I have Chinese martial arts! I can win!" Gao Liang said with conviction. Meiji shook her head. "Believe me!" Gao Liang looked at her with steady eyes and said, "Just watch my performance!" So Gao Liang demonstrated his martial arts skills before Meiji. The powerful, dynamic movements revealed the perfect strength of his muscles, which greatly captivated her. "That's impressive," she said, "but can you actually beat Yamada, Tom, and Chen Yudie?" "Believe me!" Gao Liang said seriously. "Meiji, do you know why?"
Recently, I've been so lonely. Daimeng hasn't come home for such a long time, and you've also been ignoring me—now I'm almost suffocating. If I don't practice Chinese kung fu, I don't know what I'll do! Please tell me—why have you suddenly become so cold toward me? You weren't like this before!" "It's just that we've been blessed with a connection that hasn't quite worked out. You have such a beautiful, intelligent Daimeng as your wife, and I simply don't measure up to you! Let go of my hand!" After saying this, Meiji forcibly tried to pull away. But Gao Liang firmly held onto her hand and said, "I want you to be my wife! I'm so lonely right now! I need you!" Then, Gao Liang reached out to touch Meiji's alluring chest. Meiji quickly stopped him, saying, "Unless you actually win this exam and become the only boy who scores higher than me!" "Deal! I'll definitely win!" Gao Liang is always full of confidence in front of Meiji.
The school-wide exam was more rigorous than the previous one held in the commercial class that high-light attended. Strict examination discipline was enforced, with students taking the test outdoors under overcast weather—avoiding both direct sunlight and rain. Examination tables were arranged across the entire sports field, spaced far apart, and numerous exam supervisors were on-site, effectively eliminating the possibility of cheating.
Between Miyuki and Gao-light, there were two students seated, making it unlikely for Miyuki to cheat from a typical perspective. To Miyuki’s left was Tom, and to her right was Yamada—two students who usually didn’t study diligently and relied on last-minute cramming.
As the exam bell rang, all students began writing answers on their pristine white sheets.
Gao-light stared at his paper, growing increasingly puzzled—how could the questions seem so unfamiliar? He glanced around, seeing Miyuki focused intently on her answers, Tom and Yamada also writing steadily. What should he do now?
How difficult it would be to beat Meiji if one had no knowledge at all! Gaoliang sighed in disappointment and glanced casually to his right. "Whoa! It's Chen Yudi!" Another diligent Korean female student, Gaoliang noticed she was just like Meiji, diligently working on her answer sheet. With so many classmates focused on solving problems, Gaoliang grew increasingly anxious. After half an hour, his answer sheet remained completely blank. At that moment, Chen Yudi unfolded her answer sheet slightly, turning it toward Gaoliang. Gaoliang, being quick-witted, seized the opportunity and swiftly filled in all the multiple-choice answers on the front of the sheet. He was amazed—he had completed all the multiple-choice questions on the front at once! It was truly unexpected; he never thought he could remember answers so vividly in the past!
Chen Yudi was carefully reviewing the exam paper, focusing on the written answers on the front side. Now, the highlighting was proving rather inconvenient—since the girl’s handwriting was delicate and dense, and there was also a certain distance between her and the paper, the highlights only served to make things more frustrating. Damn! Chen Yudi was about to deploy his Chinese martial arts skills.
Chen Yudi checked her pen and then looked at the exam papers on the desk—gone! She was startled. But Gao Liang gave her a mysterious smile and pointed to the floor. Just then, a breeze blew, and Chen Yudi saw the papers had been blown there. She reached out to pick them up, nodded gratefully to Gao Liang. Another gust passed, and the papers landed at Gao Liang’s feet, the reverse side now facing up. Gao Liang bent down, scanning the content rapidly with his eyes, and surprisingly, he remembered every word on the reverse side without missing a single detail. He then smiled, picked up the papers, and handed them to Chen Yudi—this gesture deeply moved her. Then came the rapid answering phase. Gao Liang didn’t rush to begin. He glanced ahead—good heavens! Yamada and Tom were absolutely frantic, staring intently at Mizu’s exam paper! Mizu was completely suffocated under the weight of these two handsome, persistent examiners. No way—this couldn’t go on! After all, the exam supervisors were strict, right? Let them taste what it’s like to have their exam qualifications revoked!
Just then, two exam supervisors passed by alongside Yamada and Tom. But they were clever—whenever the teachers arrived, they pretended to answer questions seriously; as soon as the teachers moved on, they relaxed and began copying freely. Mei seemed not to intend to stop them. High-light's Chinese martial arts skills weren't in vain—he tossed two glass beads into the air.
