Chapter 95
"Go study."
Ye Zhenzhen furrowed her pretty brows and gave him an exasperated eye roll.
Then, noticing the gazes from his classmates turning their way, the usually aloof girl suddenly felt a bit shy.
A faint blush crept up her beautiful face. She pursed her lips, glared at Gu Ran one more time, and turned away, dragging along Pei Susu, who had been enjoying the show.
After she left, Gu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately turned his spearhead toward the chubby boy next to him.
"So what exactly did you want me to teach you? How to get scolded?"
As he spoke, he imitated the girl from just now, giving a cold, aloof eye roll.
Ye Jinliang: "???"
Oh, okay. You didn't say a word just now, but the moment she leaves, you strike hard. You think I'm an easy target, huh?!
"Drop dead!"
The chubby boy rubbed his fists together and launched a fierce attack on his target.
"Hey, where do you think you're going, punk! Take this!"
Gu Ran fought back, and the two of them went at it back and forth. The study committeeman glanced at them, shook his head speechlessly, and didn't dare to intervene.
Anyone who had these two bosses in their class would have a nonstop headache.
After all... Gu Ran was a guy that even the school bullies had to keep their heads down around, terrified that he might pick a fight with them.
Because it wasn't like he hadn't done it before...
Ye Jinliang looked very fat, and in reality... he was indeed very fat.
After wrestling for a while, Gu Ran realized that this guy seemed to have gained even more weight recently. He couldn't budge him at all, so he had to be the first to call a timeout.
"Stop, hurry up and get to the point. I still have to study later."
Gu Ran panted heavily with one hand on his hip, waving the other hand dismissively.
How was messing around with this guy more tiring than running?
"Sigh!"
At the mention of studying, the previously animated chubby boy instantly deflated.
"It's too hard, it's just too hard!"
He complained bitterly, dawdling for ages without getting to the point. It made Gu Ran's teeth itch with annoyance, and he kicked him right in the calf.
"Spit it out!"
"It's... a long story..."
"Then make it short!"
Gu Ran gritted his back teeth, clenched his fists, and enunciated every single word.
Sensing an inexplicable aura of pressure, Ye Jinliang shrank his neck and hurriedly got to the point.
After listening to his rambling, Gu Ran finally understood why this guy had such a bitter look on his face.
Because he had gotten a tutor and had been studying very seriously lately, he had made some progress in his last two exams.
Especially in the second mock exam, Ye Jinliang's total score had crossed the 400 mark, achieving an excellent score of 405.
But even so, his progress paled in comparison to Gu Ran's.
Whenever he felt smug about his own improvement, Gu Ran would shoot up like a rocket, causing his pressure to skyrocket.
At this rate, maybe by the time of the college entrance examination, he could get into a second-tier university, but Gu Ran would definitely get into a top-tier one, and the gap between them would only grow wider.
His thoughts were very simple. He didn't want to fall behind Gu Ran's pace, fearing that their relationship would drift further and further apart in the future...
Hearing his explanation, Gu Ran was very understanding, but his twitching mouth simply wouldn't stop.
Could he not sound like a lovelorn teenage girl when saying things like this? It made Gu Ran feel like he was some kind of scumbag...
Patting his shoulder comfortingly, Gu Ran said softly, "It's fine. I'll put together some secret mock papers for you when I get back today. Just keep doing the papers I make for you, and your college entrance exam scores will definitely take off."
By disguising actual college entrance exam questions and mixing them into every paper, as long as this guy did them seriously, he would definitely make an astonishing breakthrough.
As for the mock exams... he was truly powerless to help.
Because he genuinely had zero recollection of these mock exams.
During the mock exams in his past life, he hadn't even looked at the questions. He had just randomly filled in the bubble sheet and handed it in to get it over with. How could he possibly remember what the questions were?
After coaxing Ye Jinliang back to his seat, he sat down, pinched the bridge of his nose, and began his studying for the day.
With only a month left until the college entrance examination, classes had basically shifted to filling in gaps in their knowledge.
The teachers lectured very little. Most of the time was spent in self-study, with the teachers at most going over the key and difficult questions on the test papers.
The rest of the time was mostly left for the students to find their own problem areas and proactively ask targeted questions.
Because everyone's level of mastery was different, the teachers had also started teaching students in accordance with their individual aptitudes.
...
The day passed in a flash, and evening arrived.
The school dismissal bell rang. Gu Ran packed his bag right on the dot, and before the bell even finished ringing, he was already out of the classroom.
The aloof older-sister figure was already standing at the door of her own class, quietly waiting for his arrival.
After a long period of conditioning, the good girl Ye Zhenzhen had completely gotten used to skipping class.
Perhaps if she were asked to go back and attend the evening self-study now, she would actually find it a bit unaccustomed.
Worried that her useless younger brother would be poisoned by her green-tea best friend, she grabbed her packed bag and walked out of the classroom the moment the dismissal bell rang.
The teachers in her class turned a blind eye to her behavior. After all, this girl's grades were genuinely excellent.
Meeting up with Gu Ran, the two of them walked home together.
After changing clothes, she dragged Gu Ran, who had immediately sat down at his computer desk upon returning home, to start their evening self-study at home.
"Was your studying attitude serious today?"
In front of the desk.
Having kicked off her slippers, her small feet, wrapped in pure white cotton socks, stepped onto the boy's insteps. Ye Zhenzhen frowned and asked.
"Of course, very serious."
"Heh..."
Hearing this, the girl sneered, not quite believing him.
For someone who couldn't wait to dive into his computer the moment he got home, she wouldn't believe his studying attitude was serious even if it killed her.
But since this guy answered like that, the aloof girl had nothing more to say and could only lower her head to continue studying.
It was just that her small feet, resting on the boy's insteps, completely forgot to retract...
After ten o'clock, the two parted ways, getting ready to wash up and go to sleep.
Ye Zhenzhen changed into her pajamas, picked up her clothes that needed washing, and prepared to walk into the bathroom.
But turning her head and seeing Gu Ran's room, her footsteps paused, and she couldn't help but detour over there.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Who is it?"
Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Ran, who was sitting in front of the computer looking at the developer backend, asked.
"Your daddy!"
Gu Ran: "..."
He had said she needed to hang out less with Pei Susu. Just look, such a good girl had been taught to act like this.
Getting up speechlessly to open the door, he saw the girl standing at the doorway holding a basin. Inside were the clothes she had just changed out of today, and he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Oh, so she wore white today...
"What are you looking at!"
Noticing his gaze, Ye Zhenzhen didn't hide the basin. Instead, she kicked him in embarrassment and spat, "Pervert!"
Gu Ran touched his nose and didn't deny it, accepting the title with a clear conscience.
"Take your socks out."
Seeing his shameless appearance, the girl rolled her eyes and raised her foot to kick him twice more.
"Why?"
Gu Ran raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a strange implication.
He probed tentatively, "Are you going to... do something weird? There's really no need for that, I'm right here in person..."
"Do you want to die!"
Before he could even finish his sentence, a sharp kick landed heavily on his calf, followed immediately by a painful twist to his ear.
"Stop having such perverted thoughts all day! D-do you think I am like you?!"
With a slight blush on her cheeks, Ye Zhenzhen gave him a good, exasperated beating before finally saying, "Hurry up and take it out. I will go wash it for you."
As soon as the words left her mouth, under Gu Ran's dumbfounded gaze, the blush on the young girl's face deepened even further.
Biting her lip lightly, she whispered out of sheer embarrassment, "H-hurry up..."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
