Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 151 : Offering Blessings to a Wonderful Summer Vacation

Only ten minutes remained until papers had to be turned in, but Xifeng still hadn't found a way to solve the problem. She bit her lip resentfully, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The competition for Class 1 positions was extremely fierce—often just a difference of two or three points would determine whether you'd study in Class 1 or Class 2 the following year. Therefore, Xifeng didn't want to give up points on any problem, but this question's difficulty truly exceeded her ability level, leaving her no choice but to stare helplessly.

"Student, is something wrong?"

At that moment, the invigilating teacher's voice from beside her made Xifeng look up in confusion, only to discover that Ye Shengge, sitting in front of her, had raised his hand. As the teacher spoke, Ye Shengge instantly became the focus of the entire class's attention.

"Teacher, I forgot to bring my steel ruler and would like to borrow one from a classmate."

The invigilating teacher glanced at his desk surface—indeed, there was no ruler present—then said, "Mm, go ahead and borrow one."

Ye Shengge nodded, turned around, and gave Xifeng an apologetic smile, saying, "Could I borrow your steel ruler for a moment?"

"Go ahead and use it." Xifeng nodded lightly, thinking to herself that yesterday Ye Shengge had pretended to forget his pen to forcibly strike up a conversation with her, so what was he up to this time?

"Thank you." Ye Shengge smiled at her, picked up the ruler from her desk, then turned back around. The invigilating teacher also left.

Three minutes later, having finished with the steel ruler, Ye Shengge returned it. Xifeng casually picked it up to put it in her pencil case, but suddenly discovered a small piece of paper pressed beneath the ruler.

She curiously sneaked a look at it and was immediately stunned—it was actually the answer to the final physics problem!

Ye Shengge was actually helping her cheat!

Though her mind was full of questions, only five minutes remained in the exam, leaving no time for Xifeng to think further. She hurriedly followed the solution steps on the paper Ye Shengge had given her, rewrote them in her own words, and put them on her test paper.

There was no time to consider whether the answer was correct or not—at least it was better than leaving it blank.

"Time is up. Students please stand and wait for teachers to collect the exam papers."

Xifeng had written down the final symbol at the very last second. She let out a long breath, put down her pen, and felt lost.

After the exam papers were collected and they could leave the examination room, Xifeng patted Ye Shengge's shoulder and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... thank you."

After all, he had helped her, so Xifeng felt a word of thanks was necessary. But she couldn't help feeling strange inside... She, who never cheated, had actually cheated twice in a single exam, and both times the other party had actively tempted her to cheat...

"It's nothing." Ye Shengge smiled and shook his head—to him, this didn't even count as lifting a finger.

"How did you know I couldn't solve the final problem?" Xifeng asked with complicated feelings. If Bei Yaoyue knew her academic level and could guess, that would be one thing, but why did Ye Shengge know too?!

"I heard you muttering about the final problem for over ten minutes, so I knew you definitely couldn't solve it."

"......"

Xifeng's expression stiffened. So all her self-talk while working on problems had been overheard by Ye Shengge?

This was... too embarrassing. She could only hope Ye Shengge hadn't heard anything strange.

"Would it be convenient to add each other as friends?" Ye Shengge suggested.

"Sure." Naturally, Xifeng had no reason to refuse. She brought up her QR code and placed it in front of Ye Shengge.

After finishing packing up, Bei Yaoyue had already come to the front of her classroom and called her name softly. Xifeng looked up at Bei Yaoyue, then picked up her phone and said to Ye Shengge, "My sister is urging me to go home. I'll leave first."

"Mm, see you later."

After simply saying goodbye to Ye Shengge, Xifeng walked briskly to Bei Yaoyue's side, casually took her arm, and smiled, "We haven't seen each other all afternoon—did you miss me?"

Xifeng's overly intimate gesture drew frequent glances from surrounding classmates, resulting in an extremely high rate of turned heads.

"I missed you so much my hair was about to fall out." Bei Yaoyue smiled and reached out to pinch Xifeng's nose. "You seem to be in a good mood—did the exam go well?"

"The exam went... so-so, I guess."

"Could you solve all the problems?"

"......I could solve them all." Xifeng lied without batting an eye or missing a heartbeat.

"Oh?" Bei Yaoyue raised an eyebrow. "What was the answer to the final physics problem?"

"420J?"

"Not bad, you actually got it right."

Xifeng's eyebrows shot up as she pouted coquettishly, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

"Nothing, it's just that based on my understanding of you, I don't think this is a problem you could solve."

Isn't that still the same as looking down on me!

Xifeng couldn't help but complain inwardly, though Bei Yaoyue wasn't wrong—she indeed couldn't solve that problem, and the answer was provided by Ye Shengge.

As if seeing through Xifeng's thoughts, Bei Yaoyue suddenly asked, "You know Ye Shengge?"

"Just met him yesterday. We sat together during the exam. Why?"

Bei Yaoyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she pondered for a moment, then said in a grave voice, "Stay away from him."

Xifeng was startled and asked back, "Why?"

"Listen to me—stay as far away from him as possible."

"......Alright, I understand."

This wasn't the first time Bei Yaoyue had forcefully imposed requirements on her, so Xifeng was somewhat used to it by now. But she couldn't help being curious about why Bei Yaoyue was doing this.

"Summer vacation is finally coming." Just thinking about the approaching two-month summer break made Xifeng beam with joy. Unlike most miserable high schools in the Chong Nation, Tianshui No. 1 High School's summer vacation was a full two months—from July 1st to September 1st. How wonderful was that?

"What do you plan to do during summer vacation?"

Xifeng's expression stiffened as she lowered her head: "I don't know."

In the past, she would have definitely answered: Play games! Playing games for two months would be awesome!

But now games had lost their proper appeal to her, and thinking carefully about this two-month-long vacation, it did seem rather boring.

"If you don't have plans, let's go traveling next week."

"Traveling? Where to?"

"Haven't decided yet. Sister Luo will be leaving in half a month, and she wants to take us somewhere to have fun before she goes."

"Sounds great, sounds great."

Though as a shut-in, Xifeng didn't particularly like traveling, as long as Bei Yaoyue was there, she could go anywhere.

"She said to invite a few classmates, but......"

But I don't want to invite anyone—Bei Yaoyue had wanted to say this, but before she could finish the last four words, Xifeng had already spoken first: "Then let's invite Su Weiai?"

Xifeng was thinking that Su Weiai was Bei Yaoyue's best friend, so if they were going to invite classmates, Su Weiai would definitely be the first choice.

As for Bai Pu... she felt Bei Yaoyue seemed to have some inexplicable hostility toward him, so better forget about that.

"......"

"Oh right, He Pingge is coming to Crescent City to visit me in a couple days. She's my childhood friend, and you know her too. Why don't we invite her as well?"

Su Weiai was Bei Yaoyue's best friend, and He Pingge was Xifeng's best friend. If they were bringing friends, these two were naturally the most suitable choices.

".................."

"Huh? Is that not okay?" Not getting an answer from Bei Yaoyue, Xifeng looked up and cast a puzzled glance at her.

A wave of intense headache struck Bei Yaoyue's forehead. She helplessly rubbed her temples and said in a stiff tone, "As long as you're happy."

She didn't want to be disturbed by others; she preferred a world with just the two of them. But seeing Xifeng's high spirits, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Yay!" Xifeng let out a cheerful sound, hugged Bei Yaoyue's arm even tighter, and her willow-leaf eyebrows curved into two crescents.

The wonderful summer vacation was just beginning!
