Having a pop quiz on the weekend was miserable enough, but the questions were also exceptionally difficult. A heavy atmosphere settled over the classroom after the test was over.
Professor Lin stood at the lectern, glancing over the digital tests. "Take a ten-minute break," the professor announced. "I'll hand them back once I'm done grading, and we'll resolve any issues on the spot."
Lin Xiyue, who was usually sighing and complaining, was now draped over Jiang Qingli's shoulder with a wide grin. "Honey, you're incredible! Everything you told me to review was on the test!"
She rubbed her cheek against Jiang Qingli's. "My dad already promised me, if I pass this time, he'll buy me that sports car I've wanted for so long!"
Jiang Qingli pinched her cheek. "Then you'll have to take me for a spin."
"Definitely!"
While they were chatting, Ai Li leaned over. "Qingli," she asked, "Bai Yiyi hasn't been around in a while. Professor Lin just asked me where she was. Do you know?"
