If the boy showed no reaction after the girl had already offered up a kiss through coincidental circumstances, the girl would no doubt feel resentment due to the feeling of being rejected from the boy displaying no emotions. It's impossible that the girl would remain calm. Therefore, during the time they were having lunch, Ye Bing kept glaring at Jiang Xiu with a hidden bitterness in her expression.
The examinees kept entering the restaurant one by one, discussing the exam topics. Some students liked to check their answers after the exam and compare them with the solution sheet to calculate an accurate total score they would obtain.
"Excuse me, can you lend me the solution sheet?"
If it was someone else, those boys might not have given it, but since it was a pretty girl like Ye Bing asking for it, they naturally acted elegantly.
"There's no need to ask so politely. You can take it."
"Thank you!" Ye Bing replied gracefully.
A few of them were unwilling to see the solution sheet as it might influence their mood and affect their later performance if they had messed up.
Ye Bing looked at it carefully, her face turning paler by the second. She was now sure that she had answered those questions incorrectly. I knew they were wrong and you said I got them correct, swindler. Ye Bing looked at Jiang Xiu resentfully, glaring at him with anger, "Swindler, didn't you say I got them right?"
The best way to deal with a girl feeling resentful was to act shamelessly so Jiang Xiu replied to her in such a manner, "There's two types of swindlers. One is someone who scams you out of your money and the other scams you into having sex. What did this Deity scam out of you?"
Originally, he hadn't scammed anything out of her, but all that had happened in the phone booth couldn't be said as if nothing happened.
"You still dare to ask? You scammed… that…" Saying words like 'scammed me into doing something immoral' wasn't something a conservative girl like Ye Bing was willing to say, not even over her dead body. However, Jiang Xiu quickly understood that girls always found a way to make their words sound right and had patented the skill of speaking unreasonable things.
"Anyways, you're a swindler. A thorough scammer."
"Even if this Deity is a scammer, it can be considered that this Deity has failed in scamming."
Ye Bing's eyes open wide. "How can it still be considered a failure?"
That was this Lady's first kiss. You've really scammed this Lady cruelly.
You've made me lose such an important thing!
Jiang Xiu looked at Ye Bing's expression which seemed to say she had lost a valuable thing and exposed a smile, "Since it's this way, Student Ye Bing, why did you invite a scammer for lunch?"
"That's because you deceived me."
Jiang Xiu's smile grew wider, "Ei. Getting deceived into paying the bill can be considered as scamming money. It seems like Student Ye Bing has indeed let this Deity scam money out of you as well as scam you into doing something immoral, you've lost two valuable things."
Ye Bing assumed a posture as if she was spitting, "Bah! You miser."
"Hehe!"
Jiang Xiu's laughter caused Ye Bing's cheeks to flush again. Her appearance was pretty. Her light summer clothes stuck to her body due to getting drenched in the rain and it emphasized the curves of her bosom even more spectacularly than the usual. Although they hadn't developed completely, Jiang Xiu that it was just the foundation and that they would definitely grow plumper.
Ye Bing became conscious of his gaze on her body and felt her cheeks burn, causing her to counter subconsciously. "You're the reason if I do badly in the exam."
Jiang Xiu glanced at her bashful face grimly, "How is it related to this Deity if you do bad?"
"How is it not related? You're such a horrible person. This Lady's mood went bad after looking at you and since my mood isn't good, my exam will naturally go bad. Tell me, who am I to blame if not you?"
Jiang Xiu sighed, "So boring. Plenty of fairies stopped eating and couldn't sleep at night after taking a look at this Deity. Finally undressing and throwing themselves into this Deity's arms."
"If you dislike this Deity, then why did you…"
Ye Bing's face blushed fully after seeing that he was acting even more excessive, even mentioning the matter that had happened before and felt quite resentful. An ominous glint flashed in her beautiful eyes as she kicked towards him from under the table.
"Stop saying nonsense."
Deity Xiu naturally noticed it and caught her leg between his legs. She tried to regain it but couldn't break free from his clutches.
"Let go of me."
Such an intimate contact reminded her of that dream-like time in the phone booth. The gaze of the youth opposite to her made her feel hot all over as if she was melting.
"Let go!"
Ye Bing inwardly regretted kicking towards him. This was the difference between men and women. According to biology, the reason boys wished to act intimate was not because of love but due to the beauty of the girl and the girls were helpless against this. This keen girl had already realized from Jiang Xiu's reaction in the phone booth that he didn't get excited towards her. Since he didn't love her but still provoked her in this way, though it couldn't be considered as acting shameless, it could still be considered as him taking advantage of her.
"Let me go, ok?"
Her voice turned softer as if she were pleading.
Jiang Xiu felt perfectly contented and released her, "Feel relieved, you'll do well. This Deity shall take responsibility for making sure that you pass the minimum scoring line to the join the Imperial University or the National University."
"You better pray to the Gods as well as Buddha that I pass for those universities then or else I'll teach you a good lesson." The girl bared her fangs again once she got free.
Since Jiang Xiu already had the experience of cheating from before, he had settled the following exam in minutes. As for Ye Bing, her condition really wasn't good. Her mental state wasn't well and she was also affected by the thought that she made mistakes in the Literature exam so her mood turned abnormal. However, with Jiang Xiu to correct her answers, she had transformed into the exam queen in minutes.
The three exam days ended pretty quickly.
After returning on the final day, Ye Bing had calculated her score under her mother's request. According to her estimate, it came to around 630 points, which was far from the minimum passing score for Imperial University. This made her feel quite dispirited and also made Mama Ye worried.
However, the result wasn't set yet. Sometimes, there's a huge difference in the results and it was a two-week long wait for it.
Today, the results of the college entrance exam came out. It was also the graduation party day for the 12th grade students.
The regions outside the school were quite lively on this day. No matter whether the results were good or bad, they were already out and it was all settled now. Their bitter life of studying had finally ended and each student could now soar to the skies.
On the way to the auditorium, Jiang Xiu had run into a few acquaintances. The person in the middle was none other than Cheng Lingsu. Her smile put even flowers into shame and she wore a gentle expression on her face. When she saw Jiang Xiu, an arrogant curve rose upon her lips.
"Jiang Xiu!"
"How much did you score?"
She was accompanied by Ouyang Qian, Li Dan as well as a few other girls from her class.
"Dunno!"
"The results were out yesterday so how come you don't know yours?" One of the pretty girls beside her stated.
"Yeah!"
"Tell us. We won't laugh."
She was clearing mocking at Jiang Xiu. Though she said she won't laugh, the taunt in her eyes was plainly visible.
Cheng Lingsu looked towards him curiously, waiting for him to answer.
"I really don't know!"
Jiang Xiu indeed hadn't checked his results as there was no need for him to do it. Though he didn't know how much he scored, there was no way he'd score low due to the way he wrote the exam, which was pretty much an open-book exam for him.
"This Deity didn't check it."
An annoying voice came through from behind at this moment, "Of course you didn't. If it was me, even I wouldn't check it as a person who has always been at the last position in the mock exams. It'd kill my heart."
Ye Wenchen, Lin Shu, and the other student council members walked over along with this voice.
"Young Master Ye!"
"Young Master Lin!"
Everyone felt curious after looking at Ye Wenchen. They wanted to know what this seeded topper's score was and whether he had grabbed the position of Jiangnan province's topper. Even Cheng Lingsu felt quite curious about it. Ouyang Qian called out to him, "Young Master Ye, how much did you score?"
Everyone felt tense at this moment. After all, Ye Wenchen was their classmate and it'd bring prestige if the topper was from their school.
One of Ye Wenchen's hand was within his pockets while he nudged his spectacles with the other, assuming a completely confident appearance as he spoke in a relaxed manner, "I also don't know!"
"I still haven't checked it!"
All of them made a commotion.
Lin Shu commented, "There are only two kinds of persons in this world who don't check their college entrance exam results. The first being the kind of person who knows for sure that they'll definitely get entry into the Imperial University. The only suspense for them is whether they grabbed the title of Jiangnan's topper. An example of that is Young Master Ye."
"The other kind is a person who knows that there's no use in checking it as they know they'll come up in the bottom rung. An example would be someone like Student Jiang Xiu…"
His gaze fell on Jiang Xiu.
"Jiang Xu, tell me. Am I right?"
Jiang Xiu smiled coolly, declining to comment.
"Young Master Ye, check it once. How much did you finally score?"
Cheng Lingsu also asked curiously, "Right, check it."
Ye Wenchen replied to them, "Since all of you want me to, I shall check it then." He took out his cell phone and entered his roll number in.
"How much…"
The confident smile on Ye Wenchen's face turned stiff.
