Join the ServerFinally, upon learning from Bai Mengze that he had truly been carried in a bridal embrace the entire way, Ji Wenyan immediately pulled the blanket higher, shrouding his face.
Carried in a bridal embrace by a girl, and while unconscious…
‘How utterly humiliating!’
‘Why did he have to faint back on the rooftop?’
‘Even if it meant dying from the pain, he shouldn’t have passed out!’
“Haha, your little boyfriend is shy. I’ll get out of your way now~ Student, you should also try to convince your boyfriend to lighten up a bit. After all, his body hasn’t fully recovered yet!”
“Mm, I understand.”
After the school nurse left with a chuckle, Bai Mengze and Ji Wenyan did not immediately resume their conversation.
Bai Mengze’s earlier feeling of grievance had largely dissipated, thanks to the interruption.
However, the thought of Ji Wenyan collapsing from staying up late playing games still sparked anger within her, as she felt he was far too careless with his own body!
Even with his youth, he shouldn’t be overdrawing on his health!
Meanwhile, Ji Wenyan, who was deemed to be ‘overdrawing on his health,’ was consumed by shame, unwilling to expose his face to anyone.
When a hero saves a beauty, it becomes a beautiful legend.
But when a beauty saves a hero, the hero turns into a blundering fool!
“Ji Wenyan, you can’t stay up late anymore!”
Ultimately, Bai Mengze was the first to break the silence.
Hearing this, Ji Wenyan pulled the blanket down slightly, revealing his eyes to look at Bai Mengze.
Bai Mengze’s expression was stern; she was clearly very concerned about Ji Wenyan’s habit of staying up late.
“Mm, I won’t stay up late again!”
Ji Wenyan immediately made his promise.
Although being carried by Bai Mengze had been incredibly embarrassing, Ji Wenyan also knew that Bai Mengze was genuinely worried about him. Once his emotions settled, he didn’t linger in his mortified state.
He decided to view this as a task arranged by fate, allowing him to experience the ‘refreshing’ sting of having a thick skin early on.
Life would be far more interesting if one experienced things others hadn’t.
Even if these were mere self-consolations, Ji Wenyan’s mindset gradually found peace amidst such thoughts.
“Good, that’s settled! If I catch you staying up late again, I’ll spank your butt!”
“…”
For some inexplicable reason, despite Bai Mengze’s fierce tone, Ji Wenyan’s mind automatically conjured a different scene… *cough cough*, it was rather stimulating!
As the imagined scene quickly veered into inappropriate territory, Ji Wenyan immediately cut it off. He then nodded repeatedly at Bai Mengze, signaling his absolute resolve not to stay up late again!
His determined demeanor reassured Bai Mengze.
She did not want anyone else close to her to leave.
Absolutely not!
“Bai Mengze, do you still remember what I said before?”
“You want to participate in the National Mathematics Competition?”
“Yes, I really want to participate! I’ll do the test papers too, but I’m a little worried if I’ll pass…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll tutor you!”
As the feeling of shame receded, Ji Wenyan also remembered his previous plan. Seeing Bai Mengze still by his side, he immediately spoke up.
This was an excellent opportunity to boost Bai Mengze’s attributes!
While possessing a perfect-level mathematics skill made participating in any National Mathematics Competition seem trivial, he couldn’t forget the main quest to enhance Bai Mengze’s attributes.
Among the five attributes, aside from Charm, which had already been elevated to ‘Beginner’ level, the remaining four were still issues.
Of these, Intelligence was the second attribute Ji Wenyan had decided to improve.
As for why…
After acquiring the perfect-level mathematics skill, if he didn’t fully leverage its utility, Ji Wenyan felt he would be letting down all the suffering he endured by fainting and being carried! Besides using his math skills for the competition, he could also activate the skill to tutor Bai Mengze, thereby increasing her Intelligence attribute!
He never expected that he, a former academic slacker, would have a day where he taught an academic ace!
It was truly exhilarating!
