Xia Yanchun looked at him acting crazy, and simply didn't bother asking, squeezing herself into the crowd to look.
I must surpass Shen Nian, I must score higher than Shen Nian!
Having held the number one spot in the class for so long, I definitely can't let it change hands!
Xia Yanchun's heartbeat quickened slightly. The first name she saw was Shen Nian, and she felt a little dead inside.
But the tie for first place pulled her back. Although she wasn't surpassed by Shen Nian, she hadn't beaten him either.
The fact that Shen Nian was listed before her was merely a matter of sorting.
...I can only say it's a blessing in disguise.
After the second mock exam comes the big unified exam. She will definitely continue to ride on Shen Nian's head!
As soon as she sat back in her seat, she heard Shen Nian's annoying voice.
"Yare yare, just a defeated opponent."
"...What do you mean? You didn't surpass me, we just tied."
"I'm ranked above you."
"It's just a sorting issue, can you not be so childish?"
"Anyway, I'm ranked above you, haha."
"..."
Xia Yanchun grunted, feeling really unhappy.
How could she have tied with Shen Nian! How could they have the same score!
Even in terms of grades, she couldn't stay ahead of Shen Nian anymore, which gave her a deep sense of frustration.
The more outstanding Shen Nian became, the stronger her frustration grew. Originally, she could maintain her pride as a high school student through her grades, but now even her grades were being compared.
Xia Yanchun's mental state was almost shattered.
She had to fiercely rip off Shen Nian and eat a delicious big meal to mend her broken heart.
"Let's go out for lunch, you treat me to a good meal."
"Sure thing, I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to a large portion."
"Ew, are you disgusting? Get lost!"
"..." Shen Nian scratched his cheek. To be honest, he really didn't mean it that way.
Forget it, forget it.
"Shiyan, you've improved so much," Xia Yanchun, still fuming, turned to talk to Li Shiyan.
"Really? Let me go see!" Li Shiyan skipped over.
When she sat back down, joy had almost overwhelmed her emotions, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"This is the first time I've scored so high, even higher than my own estimate!!"
"You overperformed!"
"Yeah, hehe, if only the college entrance exam could be this score..."
Xia Yanchun pinched Li Shiyan's cotton-like little face, "Keep it up, keep it up."
"Yeah!"
"I'm going out to eat with Shen Nian at noon, you go eat with them later, I'll buy you milk tea when I come back."
"Okay~" Li Shiyan smiled sweetly.
Leaving the classroom together, Xia Yanchun walked ahead, striding with her hands behind her back, thinking about what to eat as she walked.
She had decided to fiercely rip off Shen Nian, skipping her afternoon nap!
Who told this guy to say he was ranked above her when they had the same score.
A younger brother being so arrogant over an accidental tie clearly needed a lesson. As the older sister, she had to teach him how to respect others.
"I want to go to the mall to eat a fancy meal, hear me?" She turned around and walked backward, muttering to Shen Nian.
"How do you know I'm first in the whole school?"
"Who asked you? Besides, I've taken the test I don't know how many times, and you've only taken it once, don't be too arrogant."
"You're talking too much, snow leopard shut up."
"Believe it or not, I'll give you a kick."
"No need, just give me a pair of socks."
"..."
Xia Yanchun was scared to tears by Shen Nian's creepy behavior. Sure enough, people who use Tieba are weird; people who use Xiaohongshu are the most normal.
Leaving the school gate, Shen Nian pushed his bike out and took Hagi Chun to the nearest mall.
Today was his first career victory, and he was in a great mood. Even if Hagi Chun wanted to eat ten Australian lobsters, he would fight to pay the bill.
It was Monday noon, so there weren't many people in the mall. Some shops even looked deserted. With such expensive rent, Shen Nian was worried they wouldn't break even.
"Let's eat here!" Xia Yanchun stopped in front of a buffet mini hot pot restaurant.
"Is this a fancy meal, let me ask you." Shen Nian curled his lips. "There's a Western-style place over there, it's better to go there and eat something expensive."
"What's wrong with a buffet hot pot?"
Shen Nian looked at Xia Yanchun's stomach and shook his head, "If more people like you come, the boss will upgrade to a BMW next year."
Doesn't she know how much her stomach can hold? She can't even guarantee to finish a bowl of rice in the cafeteria, yet she wants to eat at a buffet.
With an entrance fee of sixty or seventy yuan, can she even eat twenty yuan worth of food? Although it wasn't very expensive, the thought of losing so much made Shen Nian uncomfortable all over.
Besides, a buffet hot pot has absolutely nothing to do with a fancy meal...
Shen Nian wasn't a penniless high school student anymore. His savings could fully support him and Xia Yanchun spending freely. Having a fancy meal occasionally wasn't something they needed to be too frugal about.
Just as Shen Nian was about to take Xia Yanchun to eat something expensive, Xia Yanchun moodily poked his chest.
"I just want to eat at a buffet to eat happily. How many people can actually eat their money's worth? If you say that, wouldn't a lot of girls not be able to go to buffets? Be careful, or I'll post about you on Xiaohongshu."
"Is there such a good thing? Please take a picture of my abs and post it, thank you."
"...I'll shove my foot in your mouth." Xia Yanchun grunted, snatching his phone to look for group deals. "Group deals will be a bit cheaper. In the future, when you come to the mall to eat, always look for group deals first, got it?"
"Suddenly I feel like you're really good at managing a household."
"Otherwise, who would be like you, spending so much unnecessary money and wanting to take me to eat expensive things? I can get full at a buffet for sixty yuan. Going to eat expensive things would probably cost two or three hundred."
"I just think that since I have money now, we can occasionally indulge..."
"A buffet is fine."
Xia Yanchun wasn't a little girl who was afraid to spend money. On the contrary, she often went out with Li Shiyan to explore those restaurants.
If it were a weekend or a holiday, and Shen Nian invited her out for an expensive fancy meal, she would definitely happily tag along.
But they had to go back to school later. It was just lunch, so eating a very expensive fancy meal wouldn't be appropriate. A buffet mini hot pot was just right. This kind of thing has a bit of fancy and a bit of cheapness. As long as the photos are taken well, it's a fancy meal.
"Alright then, this is the first time I've surpassed you today, whatever you say goes, I'll listen to you." Shen Nian grinned.
Xia Yanchun originally wanted to scold Shen Nian fiercely, but hearing the last sentence, she raised her willow-like eyebrows. "You'll listen to me?"
"Yeah."
"Then call me big sister."
"Big sister."
"!!"
Xia Yanchun's almond eyes gradually widened, and little flowers bloomed one after another in her heart, growing into a brilliant sea of flowers.
She finally heard Shen Nian call her 'big sister'!
So happy!
"Let's go." Shen Nian had already gone to the front desk to verify the group deal voucher. "They actually have barbecue here too, that's pretty good."
"Hehe, I'll grill meat for you!"
"..."
Just one 'big sister' and Hagi Chun was coaxed into this state.
It seems she's been trained well.
Shen Nian promised not to be the first to call Xia Yanchun big sister.

New month, begging for updates and little gifts ♥

y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”

his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…

to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
