Join the ServerWhen Ji Wenyan woke up, the excitement from yesterday had faded.
Last night, the moment he saw that intimacy could be exchanged for Star Source Points, he had been thrilled.
But then he thought of everything that had happened. Bai Mengze’s intimacy toward him was only 5 points. Accumulating 50 points would be incredibly difficult!
And if he actually used intimacy to exchange for Star Source Points, wouldn’t Bai Mengze’s affection for him plummet?
Maybe she wouldn’t even let him get close anymore!
At that possibility, Ji Wenyan immediately calmed down. He realized that exchanging intimacy for Star Source Points wasn’t very useful.
At least, not now.
So, after sleeping off his frustration, Ji Wenyan stopped dwelling on intimacy.
It was time to pack up and head to school for the math test!
Once he secured a spot in the national math competition, he could participate, win first place, and complete the lucrative side quest.
Finally, he could pay back the Star Source Points he owed the system.
With those thoughts, even breakfast tasted better. He pushed the pudding on his plate aside, letting Bai Mengze finish it.
He had just noticed how much she seemed to enjoy pudding—unlike him, who didn’t care for such sweet things.
His parents, Ji Wenlin and Gong Yingying, sitting across from him, secretly smirked. They thought their son was being very considerate!
Unlike other parents, they didn’t view young romance as a catastrophe.
Young people ought to have a sweet love story.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of youth.
“I’m done. Dad, Mom, we’re off!”
“Go ahead. Be careful on the way.”
Seeing Bai Mengze put down her chopsticks, Ji Wenyan also stopped eating. After speaking, he took Bai Mengze’s hand—she had just said her goodbyes—and they got into the car.
His parents’ eyes were way too weird just now. Better to finish eating and leave early!
If they said something inappropriate, it would be awkward…
“Ji Wenyan, why are we leaving so quickly?”
“I want to get to school early for today’s math test. If we’re late, it’ll be bad.”
“Oh, no need to rush. The math teacher said earlier… as long as we get there before the bell for first period rings, it’s fine.”
Bai Mengze had been puzzled by his haste, but as soon as she heard “math test,” she understood.
For Ji Wenyan, today’s math test was very important.
Whether he could participate in the national math competition depended on the results.
Still, although Bai Mengze had confidence in him, she was also worried he might be nervous. So she didn’t want to add pressure.
“Just get there on time, huh… I was spacing out earlier and didn’t hear that.”
He nodded to Bai Mengze. When they got near the school, they both put on disguises and sneaked toward the campus.
Ever since Bai Mengze had participated in the school beauty pageant, the buzz around her hadn’t died down. If anything, with all the video edits on various websites, she had become even more popular.
Even on Weibo and Bilibili, the homepages were filled with images of Bai Mengze winning the award.
Her sparkling eyes and slight smile stirred a ripple in people’s hearts.
Bai Mengze was already beautiful, and with professional retouching, the photos were simply stunning.
Not to mention, Ji Wenyan had secretly saved a few…
So when they saw the crowd of reporters with cameras at the school gate, both Ji Wenyan and Bai Mengze were speechless. They exchanged a glance and immediately decided to take a back alley into the school.
Even in disguise, they’d probably be recognized.
It was too obvious!
****
Usually, No.1 High School’s rules for boarding students were quite strict.
For example, students weren’t allowed to leave campus casually, in case of accidents for which the school would be held responsible.
So, boarding students who wanted to sneak out for a good meal could only dream… but as long as one didn’t slack off, there was always a way!
The high fence around the school playground—some genius had broken two iron bars. From a distance, it looked fine, but if you touched them, you’d find you could squeeze through the gap.
Right now, that broken section was right before them.
Observing ladies first, Ji Wenyan let Bai Mengze go through. When it was his turn, he was about to step over when his pants pocket got caught on a broken iron bar.
Panicking, he tried to pull the pocket free, but he used too much force, and the bar tore right through the pocket.
Now it was even harder to get loose.
And he couldn’t move anymore without tearing his pants off…
Damn, this was really bad luck!
Stuck on the fence, Ji Wenyan stared at his pants in despair, bitterly thinking about how unlucky he was today!
Was heaven punishing him for planning to show off at the math group later? Was this some kind of trial?
Did he really have to take off his pants in front of Bai Mengze now???
“Ji Wenyan, don’t move. Let me help.”
Seeing him stuck, Bai Mengze quickly stepped forward and lifted his leg, trying to work the iron bar out of the torn pocket.
But it wasn’t that easy.
She broke into a light sweat before finally freeing the bar from the pocket.
Ji Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief, glad he didn’t have to take off his pants in front of her… Wait, this position was a bit awkward!
Standing on the fence, looking down at Bai Mengze, he saw her staring at the torn pocket, seemingly thinking about how to fix it.
But from this angle, the scene looked rather improper…
“Whoa, Ji Wenyan, you’re really something! Doing this kind of thing openly on campus…”
Just as Ji Wenyan felt the position was bad and wanted to get off the fence, Shen Hua’s shocked voice suddenly rang out from the side.
