Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Are You Childhood Sweethearts Into Such Kinky Stuff?

In the end, Shen Yuan ate the egg pancake.

Why shouldn’t he?

Li Zhi didn’t care about an indirect kiss, so why should he?

Besides, he was the one who paid for this egg pancake!

What reason did he have not to eat it?

Just as Shen Yuan was munching on the egg pancake, an unexpected figure appeared before him.

Zhou Shaojie!

The moment he saw Zhou Shaojie, Shen Yuan instinctively glanced at his watch. "Holy crap? Is it time for class?"

"Already? Not everyone’s even here yet."

Even Li Zhi thought morning self-study had already started.

Just like Duan Zhengchun’s reputation in the martial arts world, Zhou Shaojie’s reputation in Class 15 was unshakably consistent.

When Zhou Shaojie showed up in Class 15 in the morning, it basically meant class was about to start.

But now? What time was it even!

It wasn’t even 6:10!

"Holy crap, Ah Jie, have you lost your mind?"

Shen Yuan stared in disbelief at Zhou Shaojie, who was walking toward his seat.

Zhou Shaojie burst out laughing. "Lao Yuan, I’m not the man I used to be! I’m a new me, ready to make a change! And if I’m going to change, I have to start with every little thing!"

Zhou Shaojie patted Shen Yuan’s shoulder, his gaze falling on the egg pancake in Shen Yuan’s hand. His expression suddenly changed.

Ah Jie smiled sweetly. "Godfather, I haven’t had breakfast yet."

"No."

Ah Jie’s expression instantly changed. He grabbed Shen Yuan’s sleeve, his face contorted menacingly. "Are you really just going to stand there and watch me starve to death? You..."

Shen Yuan raised a hand, interrupting Ah Jie’s "spellcasting."

"It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, I really can’t. This was a gift bestowed by Young Master Li to her most loyal bootlicker!"

Ah Jie’s mouth twitched. "You childhood sweethearts are into some kinky stuff now, huh?"

"Screw you. Go copy your vocabulary words!"

Shen Yuan moved aside to let Ah Jie get to his seat.

Ah Jie looked at his own seat, then suddenly bent over and gently caressed it.

"Do you have some kind of fetish?"

Ah Jie rolled his eyes at Shen Yuan. "I’m appeasing it, so it doesn’t ring the bell the moment my ass sits on it."

Shen Yuan pointed with a Great Wilderness Heaven-Imprisoning Finger. "And you still claim you didn’t wire the school bell to your chair?"

"I control it with my mind!"

Shen Yuan put the egg pancake on the desk, clapped his hands together with a SNAP, and said, "Godfather, teach me!"

"No way. Unless you’re my biological son, I’ll never pass on the technique."

"Then find a mom and give birth to me. I really want to learn this."

"Then let me have a bite of your egg pancake."

Shen Yuan immediately hid the egg pancake behind his back. "Never mind then."

Hearing this, Ah Jie shot him a look of disgust.

"Vocabulary, vocabulary! You’re just trying to disrupt my progress!"

Shen Yuan blinked, deciding not to argue with an idiot.

Just like Shen Yuan, when the other students arrived and saw someone in Ah Jie’s seat, they all instinctively checked the time.

Some even had dazed expressions on their faces.

’Did I fucking time travel?’

’Am I going deaf? Did the bell for morning self-study already ring?’

Yang Ze sat down and stared at Ah Jie in disbelief. "Jie, you’re here so early. Have you lost your mind?"

"Get lost, get lost! Don’t you dare disturb my studies! I’m trying to work my ass off and get ahead now!"

Hearing Zhou Shaojie say this, Yang Ze and the others didn’t say anything more.

After all, it was best not to disturb someone who was studying.

If Ah Jie did poorly on the exam, he’d just come after them and blame them.

They couldn’t take the blame for that.

Shen Yuan munched on his egg pancake while doing his math homework.

He actually managed to finish the egg pancake before morning self-study began.

’Is my appetite really this big now?’

Shen Yuan scratched his head in confusion.

...

The start of the first round of review quickly made everyone in the class feel the difference.

Although the material covered in class was all stuff they had learned before, the density of the information was something they had never encountered.

The review period, set to end in four months, had to cover all the material from the past two years. One could only imagine how fast the pace would be.

However, this was also the best time for students who were lacking in their foundational knowledge to improve.

Like Shen Yuan, for example.

Having basically taught himself math for the past two years, he was thoroughly enjoying the lessons.

Even though the concepts from the beginning of their first year weren’t that difficult, the teachers would always touch on areas where Shen Yuan was weak.

Besides math, there were also subjects like physics.

Compared to subjects that relied on memorization, Shen Yuan preferred the feel of the sciences.

And his physics, chemistry, and biology weren’t that bad either.

The reason Shen Yuan hadn’t chosen the humanities track back then, aside from his lack of interest, was because of his grades.

For someone bad at math to be forced into the science track, you could imagine just how terrible Shen Yuan was at geography, history, and politics.

Learning English was painful enough; Shen Yuan really didn’t want to use his Eldest Female Cousin’s head-pressing memorization method for his other courses.

It was too painful.

The sciences were better.

If you couldn’t solve a problem, you just couldn’t solve it.

In the humanities, if you didn’t know the answer, you still had to make something up, which was just too agonizing.

During school exercises, Shen Yuan often saw students from the humanities classes holding little notebooks, memorizing from them, just to squeeze in a bit more study time.

The mere thought was terrifying.

Besides the increase in material, there was another significant change after the review period started: the increase in homework.

According to Old Zhou, many students often found themselves running out of time during exams.

How to solve this?

Besides strengthening their grasp of the concepts, the answer was to grind through practice problems.

See a problem type, and the solution method should immediately come to mind.

This way, their problem-solving speed would naturally increase significantly.

The problem was, after three classes in the morning, they were given three test papers from three different subjects as homework.

Even though they didn’t have to finish all of them, it was still an absurd amount!

Before the end of the fourth period, Shen Yuan passed a note to Li Zhi right in front of his Eldest Female Cousin.

Yang Yishui’s eyes narrowed slightly, but her attention quickly returned to her textbook.

Li Zhi looked at the note on her desk. It read—

"Lunch together? Get ice cream after."

Shen Yuan had even drawn an ice cream cone on the note, but without the "V" at the bottom, Li Zhi probably would have mistaken it for a pile of crap.

Staring at that "ice cream," Li Zhi suddenly felt a little reluctant to go.

Li Zhi turned to look at Shen Yuan, and just as she was about to shake her head no, she saw him with his hands clasped together, wearing a pitiful expression.

’Oh, whatever. I’ll just consider it taking a bootlicker out with me.’

Young Master Li closed her eyes and nodded, looking extremely reluctant.

After class, Shen Yuan happily trotted after Li Zhi to the cafeteria.

"Can you stop bouncing around? You look like an idiot!"

"Oh."

Shen Yuan obediently started walking normally.

Seeing this, He Zhiyu couldn’t help but laugh.

This scene was so much like what she wrote in her book!

But before He Zhiyu could laugh for too long, Zhuo Peipei, who had followed along, tugged on the corner of her sleeve.

He Zhiyu looked at Zhuo Peipei in surprise and received a warning glance in return.

"Don’t let them spot you, or you’ll be in for it!"

He Zhiyu clearly got Zhuo Peipei’s message and immediately suppressed her smile.
