Li Guanqi didn’t mind Su Cheng’s evasive answer, only furrowing his brows slightly before continuing, "Is your study method your exclusive secret? It seems even if I dig deeper, I won’t find out."
"It’s not a secret, but this method just isn’t suitable for you."
Su Cheng answered honestly.
After all, the "sea of questions" tactic had significant flaws. If he had the money, he would’ve hired a tutor or enrolled in a cram school long ago.
"How about trading it for a sandwich every day?"
Li Guanqi suddenly suggested.
"No need."
Hearing this, Su Cheng was slightly taken aback before shaking his head. "I just solve problems from workbooks every day. It’s not really a study method."
"Workbooks?"
Hearing this, Li Guanqi looked surprised.
"Yes," Su Cheng nodded. "The workbooks contain many questions from past major exams, presenting the same problem in different forms and phrasing. I treat it like an actual exam."
Hearing this, Li Guanqi nodded thoughtfully.
"I see, I understand now."
"Mm."
"Then, would you be free to take me to buy some this weekend?"
Li Guanqi added, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity.
These wealthy kids would never come into contact with something like workbooks, which were more of a liability than an asset. After all, if they really wanted to study, one-on-one tutoring was far superior.
"Well..."
Su Cheng hesitated. After all, the image of a literary girl carrying around a "Five-Year Simulation, Three-Year Exam" workbook every day felt a bit out of place.
"Sandwiches."
Li Guanqi offered again.
"That’s really not necessary. I’ll take you this weekend."
Su Cheng nodded in agreement.
Originally, he hadn’t planned to activate Plan Four.
Last night, he had written many strategies for dealing with his heart condition, one of which was "Confessing to Li Guanqi."
Four: Li Guanqi
(The ten-day deadline has passed.)
(Saturday)
(Ask her out and confess, making her reject me.)
(Exploit the system: Maybe it’ll upgrade the rewards again. If another deus ex machina appears, the problem will be solved.)
(Even if the reward isn’t upgraded, an A-level reward would still give me what I need right now.)
Originally, he had planned to send Li Guanqi a note next week, but since he was already accompanying her to buy workbooks this weekend, he couldn’t miss this opportunity and had to act sooner.
Thinking this, Su Cheng immediately looked up and said, "How about Saturday?"
"Sure."
Li Guanqi nodded, then took out his phone from his bag. "Let’s exchange contact information. You can send me the specific time and place via email or social media."
"Alright."
Su Cheng nodded, also pulling out his phone, and the two added each other as friends.
Looking at the new addition of Li Guanqi in his friend list, Su Cheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder.
"Your dark circles are very heavy. You need to rest."
Li Guanqi put away his phone and reminded him, "Although studying is important, you shouldn’t overwork yourself. It’s very harmful to your body."
After saying this, he took out a small pillow from his bag, the same style as the one Su Cheng had used before.
"If you don’t mind, please use this to rest for a while."
Li Guanqi added.
"Thank you."
Su Cheng smiled and thanked him, then took the pillow, laid down on the grass, and closed his eyes to rest.
Since he had agreed to accompany Li Guanqi shopping this weekend, he couldn’t refuse his kindness and had no choice but to accept.
However, as soon as he lay down, he faintly noticed something unusual and abruptly opened his eyes.
The pillow carried a faint fragrance.
It was the unique scent of Li Guanqi’s hair.
Even the lingering smell of shampoo from last time was there.
The pillow he used last time was brand new and had no scent, but this time it carried the fragrance of Li Guanqi’s hair.
This meant that Li Guanqi had used this pillow!
Last time, Su Cheng thought Li Guanqi had bought the pillow as a gesture of gratitude for helping him at the pool, wanting him to rest well.
He assumed it would be washed or thrown away after use, but instead, Li Guanqi didn’t wash it and didn’t mind using it himself.
"Good afternoon."
Li Guanqi suddenly turned his head and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Su Cheng felt a bit awkward and quickly closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
After all, if he didn’t mind, why should he care so much?
Seeing this, Li Guanqi turned back to his book and continued reading.
The scent from the pillow gave Su Cheng a strangely comforting feeling, and he soon drifted off to sleep.
………………
Much later
Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes, still a bit drowsy.
"Awake?"
Hearing the voice, Su Cheng sat up and looked over to see Li Guanqi sitting beside him.
"Yes, I slept very well."
Li Guanqi nodded, then turned his gaze to Su Cheng. "Your complexion looks off, and you seem quite weak. You shouldn’t overexert yourself. Remember to rest well this weekend."
"Thank you for your concern."
"It’s nothing."
After that, both of them fell silent.
After a moment, Li Guanqi suddenly asked, "What’s your elective class this afternoon?"
"Elective class this afternoon?!"
Hearing this, Su Cheng finally remembered and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He had forgotten that Friday afternoon wasn’t gym class but an elective class in the lecture hall.
This elective class was no ordinary one—students from all grades would attend together in the same hall.
The hall was large, accommodating many people, but its most notable feature was the tiered floor, which could seat several classes at once.
Moreover, it was said that Ji Qingyi and Gu Ruoxue would also be attending this elective class.
"I’m taking Law."
Su Cheng replied.
"I’m taking Law too."
Li Guanqi nodded, then said, "Let’s go grab our notebooks. Class starts in ten minutes."
"Thank you for the pillow."
Su Cheng handed the pillow back to Li Guanqi, stood up, and added, "I’ll go to the restroom first."
With that, he headed toward the school building.
Li Guanqi stuffed the pillow back into his bag and followed Su Cheng.
After Su Cheng entered the restroom, Li Guanqi waited nearby. When Su Cheng came out, he followed him again, the two of them walking one after the other to the classroom.
Su Cheng thought Li Guanqi had already gone ahead, completely unaware that he was being followed. He walked straight into the classroom, took out his notebook and pen from his desk, and headed directly to the adjacent building.
What he didn’t notice was that two pairs of eyes in the classroom had been following him until his figure disappeared outside the door. Only then did the two hurriedly grab their notebooks and pens and follow Su Cheng.
They were Zhao Yan and Xuan Ying.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"

Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
