Final Exam Review, Then Enjoying the Drama

There were only two days left until the first tough battle of Jiangcheng University's finals week—Advanced Mathematics.

The air across the entire campus was filled with an anxious atmosphere of last-minute cramming.

Long lines formed at the library starting at six in the morning, the floors of the overnight study rooms were littered with Red Bull cans, and even the cafeteria ladies seemed to serve food a bit faster than usual, afraid of delaying these bright students from memorizing their last few vocabulary words.

However, for Su Bai, this kind of anxiety simply did not exist.

With 100 points in the Mind attribute, plus the Indulgence Compensation Mechanism granted by the system—which infused him with knowledge in relevant fields just for skipping class—Su Bai's current knowledge reserve was more than enough to take on a graduate school entrance exam.

However, an exam and the subject itself were two different things, after all.

Knowing the material was one thing, but understanding the test-maker's tricks was another.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Su Bai still sought out a senior from the anime club and got his hands on a few sets of past exam papers.

This kind of study material was usually available from senior students, and there were even better review materials out there, but Su Bai just didn't need them.

Thus, on a sunny morning, Su Bai brought these sets of papers to the entrepreneurship park.

...

Bangbang Tech, top-floor office.

It was quiet and private here, and the constant-temperature air conditioning blew a warm breeze, making it an absolutely perfect sanctuary for studying.

... Provided that one actually had the mind to study.

Chen Yusheng dressed very much like a top academic student today.

She wore a cream-colored turtleneck sweater with a high-quality camel coat over it. A pair of blue-light-blocking gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose, and her long hair was casually pinned back with a pencil.

He didn't know when she bought these non-prescription glasses, but they truly gave her a unique charm.

At this moment, she was sitting at the spacious desk, holding a fountain pen, her brows slightly furrowed as she rapidly calculated problems on a piece of scratch paper.

That focused expression and cold temperament maxed out her ascetic vibe.

Su Bai sat opposite her, also holding a pen, but his exam paper was already completely filled out after only twenty minutes.

He couldn't help it; his brain just worked too well.

The moment he glanced at a problem, the solution steps played automatically in his mind like bullet comments on a video, and his hand speed could barely keep up with his thoughts.

Boring.

Really boring.

Su Bai spun his pen, his gaze involuntarily drifting across the table.

As Chen Yusheng lowered her head to write, a few stray hairs hung by her cheeks, swaying slightly with her movements.

Those gold-rimmed glasses added a touch of intellectual beauty to her appearance.

Especially those legs hidden beneath the desk.

Today, she was wearing thick, warm black tights with a slight brown pattern. Their long, straight contours still set his heart racing.

Su Bai reached out his foot and gently rubbed her ankle.

Stop messing around.

Chen Yusheng didn't even lift her head. Her cold voice carried a hint of warning. Don't interrupt my train of thought. I'm going to finish this set of papers before I pay attention to you.

How hard is it? Let me see.

Su Bai gave a wicked smile. He simply stood up, walked around the desk, and squeezed right into her ergonomic chair.

Ah... what are you doing...

Although the chair was spacious, it couldn't fit two people sitting side by side.

Thus, that familiar and delightful posture appeared once again—Chen Yusheng was forced to sit on Su Bai's lap.

I'm helping you look at the problems.

Su Bai said with a straight face, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder. He took her pen with one hand, while his other hand naturally wrapped around her slender waist, wandering upward quite dishonestly.

Did you calculate an extra step here?

Su Bai held her hand and drew a circle on the paper. It should be...

His voice was deep and magnetic, and his hot breath brushed against Chen Yusheng's sensitive ear as he spoke.

Chen Yusheng's body instantly stiffened.

Her originally clear thought process turned into complete mush the moment Su Bai's large hand covered that soft expanse.

In truth, she rarely made calculation errors. It was purely because being alone with Su Bai in this office—where they frequently discussed academics—made her easily distracted. Her mind was constantly filled with thoughts of that nature, drastically reducing her actual capabilities.

You... let go...

Chen Yusheng bit her lip and tried to push him away, but her push was so soft it felt more like she was playing hard to get.

Let go of what? I'm tutoring you.

Su Bai spoke righteously, his fingertips gently flicking open the buttons of her camel coat. Look, if we expand this part here, doesn't it all become clear?

Mmph...

Chen Yusheng let out a soft moan, and the fountain pen in her hand dropped onto the desk with a clatter.

Calculus, Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem—at this moment, they were all thrown completely out the window.

Although the office curtains weren't drawn tightly, they were on the top floor, so there was no need to worry about anyone peeking.

This sense of immorality from doing bad things in broad daylight under the guise of studying made even the usually aloof Campus Belle Chen lose her grip.

Consequently, the ensuing plot took a complete detour.

By the time the two finally separated, panting heavily, the clock on the wall already pointed to one in the afternoon.

Aside from some mysterious new wrinkles, the progress on the exam papers on the desk was virtually zero.

Big white goose!

Chen Yusheng straightened her disheveled clothes. Looking at herself in the mirror—her face flushed like peach blossoms, her eyes misty like spring water, and an obvious strawberry mark on her neck—she finally exploded.

It's all your fault! We got absolutely nothing done all morning.

She punched Su Bai in exasperation. In her bashful and annoyed state, there wasn't a trace of her usual aloofness.

How can you say we got nothing done?

Su Bai licked his lips, still wanting more, and leaned back on the sofa. I feel like we made significant progress. It seems that ever since Xingya joined us, you've been putting a lot more effort into certain aspects.

Shut up!

Chen Yusheng glared at him with a flushed face, taking a deep breath to try and calm her agitated heart.

No, we can't keep degenerating like this.

She took off the non-prescription glasses she used for decoration.

She had originally wanted to use psychological suggestion to force herself to at least study attentively for a few days before finals.

Unexpectedly, it just became a little kink in Su Bai's eyes.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Yusheng's eyes turned resolute. In a closed space like this office with only the two of us, you simply can't control yourself, and you end up dragging me... dragging me into your nonsense too.

So, what brilliant idea does our top student have? Su Bai asked with a smile.

We're going to the library!

Chen Yusheng said decisively. I've already snagged two seats. It's a public place with lots of people watching, so I don't believe you'd dare to mess around! Plus, in that kind of atmosphere, it'll be hard for me not to study.

Alright, alright, whatever you say.

Su Bai shrugged, showing he didn't really care either way.

His papers were already done anyway, so wherever they went, he was just accompanying the princess while she studied.

After all, Chen Yusheng did not have the Indulgence Compensation System. She usually spent her time busy with lab work, so she still had to do some last-minute reviewing for her proper freshman subjects. She had an idol's burden to maintain; although failing was impossible, her grades could not be poor either.

...

Jiangcheng University Library.

Even though it was just past mealtime, the place was still packed. The air was filled only with the rustling of turning pages and occasional coughs, creating quite an oppressive atmosphere for poor students.

The seat Chen Yusheng had managed to snag was by the window on the third floor. It offered a nice view and wasn't too crowded.

As soon as she sat down, Chen Yusheng seemed like a different person, rapidly entering the mode of an academic god.

Putting on her headphones and opening her book, the aura she exuded in that instant directly intimidated a few guys nearby who had originally wanted to sneak peeks at the beauty.

As for Su Bai...

He was holding a bizarre book he had just found in the social sciences section, flipping through it casually.

It was a bit boring.

Since he couldn't disturb his girlfriend's studying, he could only read randomly.

Su Bai's gaze began to wander around the library.

"I'm going to get some water."

After studying for about an hour, Chen Yusheng took off her headphones, whispered to Su Bai, and then got up and left with her thermos.

She hadn't even been gone for two minutes.

"Um... hello there."

A somewhat timid voice sounded next to him.

Su Bai looked up to see a rather pretty girl in a pink sweater standing by the table, clutching her phone and looking at him with slightly flushed cheeks.

"Can I help you?" Su Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Well... I saw that you solved this problem so quickly, could we... add each other on WeChat? I'd like to ask you for advice on questions I don't understand in the future, senior..."

Which eye exactly saw me solving a problem, I beg to ask?

The girl's excuse was terrible, but her eyes were very honest, constantly glancing at Su Bai's face.

There was no helping it. Su Bai's appearance score was currently a staggering 140 points; just sitting there made him a humanoid, self-propelled hormone emitter.

When Chen Yusheng was around, she could act as a shield. Now that she was gone, those girls who had been itching to make a move could no longer hold back.

Even in a place like a library, which was filled to the brim with intense competitive studying vibes, people were still hitting on him.

"Add on WeChat, huh..."

Su Bai did not outright refuse, but instead smiled and activated the system's scanning function.

Name: Li Tiemei

Affection Level: 60 (Lust at first sight)

Special Tags: Reserve Player, Spare Tire Pond Owner, Extreme Face Judger

Number of Relationships: 7

Remarks: Currently stringing along three suitors, respectively dubbed Good Morning Bro, Good Night Bro, and Bill-Paying Bro. After seeing the host just now, she is currently pondering how to elegantly dump her current boyfriend.

Whoa!

Su Bai exclaimed in his heart.

This library really was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; grabbing someone at random yielded a fish pond owner.

This was really fun. The system's intelligence function was way more satisfying than browsing weird groups online for gossip.

"Sure, scan me." Su Bai smiled and presented his QR code.

Since he was here for the drama, he naturally needed a source of material.

Adding her on WeChat meant he could occasionally check her moments, or see how she manipulated those fish when he was bored later.

"T-thank you, senior!"

The girl was so excited her hands were shaking. After scanning the code, she left fully satisfied.

Before Su Bai could even put his phone down.

"Hey handsome, I saw you reading One Hundred Years of Solitude. I really like Gabriel Garcia Marquez too, can we get to know each other?"

Another upperclassman with big wavy hair walked over, staring intently with a somewhat aggressive gaze.

Sis, I'm clearly holding a physical copy of a web novel by Tang Family's God King... although I have no idea why you can find this stuff in the Jiangcheng University library.

Girls these days really didn't put any effort into hitting on guys. And with this level of effort, girls still constantly complained about guys not understanding romance. Su Bai figured they didn't really get it either.

Su Bai silently complained while activating the scan once more.

Scan Target: Wang XX

Affection Level: 60 (Still lust at first sight)

Special Tags: Nightclub Wildcat, Romance Hunter

Recent Experience: Clubbed at OUT24 Bar until dawn last night. Currently single and looking for a new long-term meal ticket and friends with benefits.

She was even a regular at the bar opened by Yangyang's friend...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Why did it feel like the girls in the library had exceptionally exciting lives?

"No problem, nice to meet you."

Su Bai showed his QR code again.

In just ten short minutes, Chen Yusheng had only gone to get water and use the restroom.

When she returned, she saw that Su Bai's WeChat list had exactly five new profile pictures!

And they were all girls!

"Big! White! Goose!"

Chen Yusheng originally wanted to slam her thermos heavily onto the table, but afraid of disturbing the people around them, she instead wrapped her arms around Su Bai's neck and shook him.

Those beautiful eyes of hers looked like they were about to shoot fire.

"I was only gone for ten minutes, ten minutes!"

She lowered her voice, speaking through gritted teeth. "And you added five? Are you here to review or to build a harem and select concubines?"

She was genuinely jealous.

Although she knew Su Bai was very popular and that this guy was a total playboy, this... this was just too exaggerated!

"Hey, hey, I'm not selecting concubines."

Su Bai said seriously with an innocent face, "I had no choice. They took the initiative to approach me. If I rejected them, wouldn't it hurt their self-esteem? Besides, I'm conducting sociological research."

"Sociological research?"

Su Bai opened the WeChat moments of those girls to show Chen Yusheng.

He also casually explained the intelligence he had scanned.

Although Chen Yusheng didn't know where Su Bai got his intel, seeing his amused expression, she realized her Big White Goose was still very clear-headed!

It seemed that no matter how popular he was, Su Bai would never degenerate into a promiscuous man. His taste always maintained a high threshold.

"Then put them in a group on WeChat, the Gossip Group."

"Actually, there are already dozens of people in this group..."

"Hahaha..."

Chen Yusheng laughed. Her and Su Bai's thought processes were truly in sync.

In fact, this rare mutual understanding made Chen Yusheng feel exceptionally sweet.

After all, there were far too many girls around Su Bai with outstanding looks and bright minds. These inner connections made Chen Yusheng feel very secure. Girls, after all, all hoped to be special in their lover's eyes.

Although Su Bai wouldn't pay attention to those girls online, he wouldn't delete them either.

Behind every profile picture was a living melon field of drama.

As everyone knows, the life of a divine tycoon is dull and boring, so this was a rare pastime.

After playing on his phone for a bit longer, Su Bai suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the reading area, and it was a figure that shouldn't really appear at Jiangcheng University.

It was actually Reporter Xu?
