Song Jianchu: “…”
It had been a long time since anyone called him by that name, and Song Jianchu’s eyes were a bit dazed.
He hadn’t reacted yet when the barrage exploded.
[“Ahhh!!! Teacher Mu, you’re seducing my son again!!!”]
[“Can you touch the head of a sugar daddy?”]
[“Hehehe, here we go again”]
[“Chuchu? OMG, my blood pressure dropped…”]
[“Chuchu ahhh, I never knew that my baby’s name could be so cute!”]
[“As expected of a demon, he’s caught me off guard…”]
Mu Ye took his hand away and looked at Song Jianchu’s dumbfounded expression before he couldn’t help but laugh and ask, “Are you angry?”
Song Jianchu blinked.
He regained his composure, his ears turning red, and he looked towards the distant playground, pretending to be natural as he said, “No.”
After visiting the campus rankings, Director Zhang raised his hand and greeted them, “Let me take you around the school. The campus is quite large, and if you don’t look around today, you’ll be too busy to do so later.”
Bai Xingyu replied, “Sure, thank you.”
Director Zhang smiled and said, “Let Jianchu show you around, he’s familiar with the school since there haven’t been many changes in the past two years.”
Song Jianchu just wanted to get away from this ranking list as soon as possible, so he led the way ahead quickly.
Mu Ye looked at his back, trying to hold back his laughter, and quickly caught up.
As they walked around the campus, Pei Shinian came up to Song Jianchu and couldn’t help but laugh, “Jianchu, were you really like you looked in the photos before?”
Song Jianchu had a blank expression, “What do you mean?”
“Like a good boy?” Pei Shinian exclaimed, “You used to look too obedient, but now you’re a completely different person.”
Song Jianchu said calmly, “Who am I now?”
Pei Shinian turned his head to observe him for a few seconds and said honestly, “Now you look like someone not to be messed with, like a big demon king.”
Song Jianchu: “.”
“I mean, you’re more suitable to be a leader now,” Pei Shinian said with a smile. “A leader shouldn’t get angry easily; that’s the only way to manage people.”
“I agree,” Mu Ye smiled awkwardly beside them. “Fortunately, the leader likes me and treats me well. I’ll do my best this time.”
Song Jianchu’s eyes paused for a moment, “…”
Pei Shinian: “?”
Why did his brother cut in again?
[“Year after year, you lost again”]
[“Silly Year, give up. If you had half the charm of the demon, you wouldn’t have had to wash over a thousand potatoes in the kitchen last time.”]
Pei Shinian was reflecting on where he had lost earlier.
Song Jianchu began to introduce the school,
“Up ahead is the first cafeteria, the food is bad and expensive. Further ahead is the staff cafeteria and the second cafeteria, which is even more expensive but at least the food is edible.”
“Swimming pool, facilities are relatively standard, and the ticket price is double the market rate.”
“Gymnasium, the best high school gymnasium in the city, with an indoor tennis court. It is the only place that I miss, open for free all day except for holidays.”
“Student dormitory, with double and quadruple rooms. The double rooms are of four-star hotel standard, and the conditions are much better than ordinary high school dormitories. The annual fee for a double room is very high, and students from ordinary families cannot afford it.”
[“That guy is so ruthless, not leaving any mercy when criticizing his alma mater.”]
[“No wonder it’s an elite high school, money is needed everywhere.”]
[“Simply put, this is a school that is hard to complete without a lot of money.”]
[“Help, the senior is so sharp! But he really spoke out the voice of us ordinary students (tears in eyes).”]
[“My parents can make tens of thousands a month, but I can’t even imagine living in a double room dormitory.”]
[“I’m tired of talking. Hongyu is a paradise for the wealthy second generation and playboys…”]
Director Zhang: “… Hahaha, everything that Jun said is correct. These are some of the problems that have existed in our school and need to be improved.”
Mu Ye looked at the back of the male student leading the way, with a deeper smile on his lips.
Finally, they arrived at the high school teaching building, and Song Jianchu stopped and said, “This is the high school teaching building, ABC three buildings, which are the main campus functional areas.”
After wandering around for more than half an hour, Bai Xingyu sighed, “Your school is really big.”
Pei Shinian was a bit tired, took off his hat and fanned himself, adding, “It’s almost like our university.”
Mu Ye said, “Luxurious.”
[“Hahaha, don’t act like you’ve never seen the world before, Mu Ye. Jealousy of the Music Industry’s No.1.”]
Since Song Jianchu introduced the campus, the principal has sent dozens of messages to Director Zhang, basically asking this outstanding graduate to go easy on them.
Director Zhang still hasn’t returned.
As they walked to the front of the teaching building, Mu Ye smiled and said, “After the campus tour, all the teachers, please follow me to take a small test and see everyone’s knowledge level in middle school. We will then determine your job positions for the next five days.”
The members were led into a prepared examination room. The tables had already been labeled with exam numbers and admission tickets, giving some the feeling of being back in middle school.
Mu Ye’s seat was next to Song Jianchu.
He lazily took his seat and looked at the calm and composed examinee next to him, taking on his role and smiling. “Song classmate’s grades must be very good. I’m envious.”
Song Jianchu turned his head slightly, staring blankly for two seconds.
Sitting in the classroom and taking exams with his idol, Mu Ye felt a bit magical and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
But his idol was now his lover.
Meeting his gaze, Song Jianchu narrowed his eyes slightly and gave him a seemingly flirtatious bribe with his eyes, meaning: “Learn well, take care of me later.”
Song Jianchu naturally turned his face away, breaking the eye contact and replying, “I’ll rely on myself.”
Mu Ye: “.”
Bai Xingyu turned around in front and mocked mercilessly, “Old Mu, I remember your academic performance wasn’t that great before, was it?”
“Wanna hurt each other?” Mu Ye leaned his elbow on the back of the chair, casually raised his long legs, and said lightly, “Don’t worry, even with just my left brain, I’m better than you.”
“Hehe.” Bai Xingyu said, “Today, I’ll open your eyes and let you know what it means to be strong.”
“Sure, go for it.” Mu Ye said.
Pei Shinian was completely miserable, his head in his hands as he wore a painful mask, “Help me. I thought I wouldn’t have to take exams for the rest of my life. Finally escaped from the potato hell, is this now falling into exam hell?”
[“Idol of Learning Disabled Fans is Publicly Executed”]
[“Don’t be afraid, we all know your level. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed”]
[“Exam!! Director Zhang is giving them an exam!!!”]
Director Zhang distributed the papers, and the three-hour comprehensive subject test officially began.
Director Zhang twisted the thermos cup and sat in the invigilator’s seat in front. “Answer the multiple-choice questions and essay questions on the answer sheet. Raise your hand if you have any questions. You may begin writing.”
Pei Shinian took a glance at the paper. It had been four years since he graduated from high school, and he had long since forgotten all his middle school knowledge. The questions on the paper seemed like ancient scripts he had learned in a previous life.
Pei Shinian rubbed his face, giving up quickly and biting the pen to look around boredly.
Lu Shen and Bai Xingyu began seriously doing the questions when they received the paper. Lu Shen started with the science questions, solving them fluently, and Bai Xingyu began with the humanities questions.
Pei Shinian looked back again, only to see Mu Ye lazily supporting his face and casually writing an English composition.
Pei Shinian was about to turn around when the sound of pages being turned suddenly echoed in the classroom.
“?”
Everyone’s pens paused at the same time, and they turned to look at the candidate in the back row.
Song Jianchu had already finished the multiple-choice questions on the first side of the test paper and had begun working on the second side with a focused expression.
His pen flew over the scratch paper, quickly calculating, and he answered several more multiple-choice questions in the blink of an eye. His proficiency seemed like that of an exam-taking robot.
Pei Shinian was dumbfounded. “Holy crap, did you memorize the answers?”
“Our classmate Song is still as sharp as ever,” Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction, smiling. “Alright, everyone turn your heads and focus on your own questions. Don’t let him distract you.”
Everyone: “……”
[“Is this the speed of human problem-solving?”]
[“Holy crap… This kid really is a genius.”]
[“Amazing!! My son is excellent! I’m so proud!!”]
[“This is insane. Is the test too easy?”]
[“I remember that Lu Yingdi was also a genius back then, but he only finished half of the first side…”]
The exam went on for an hour and fifteen minutes.
Pei Shinian was already dozing off when he suddenly heard the light sound of someone putting down their pen behind him.
Pei Shinian opened his eyes in confusion and turned around slowly. “?”
The candidate in the back row picked up his test paper and walked through the aisle between the tables, handing it in to the front under the silent gaze of everyone.
[“???”]
[“What? Already finished?”]
[“Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I also turned in my paper early when the questions were too difficult to answer.”]
[“Regardless of his final score, I’m impressed by his problem-solving speed.”]
Director Zhang glanced at the test paper and nodded. “Your problem-solving speed is excellent. Sit here in the classroom for a while and wait for the other candidates.”
Song Jianchu returned to his seat and began sleeping with his head on the desk.
This candidate not only solved problems quickly but also fell asleep quickly, even faster than the learning-disabled students in the front row. Soon, his breathing became long and deep.
Other candidates: “……”
[“Hahaha, the combination of the exam-taking genius and the exam-taking sleeping genius is perfect.”]
[“My heart aches for Nian Nian, even the last remaining character of the exam-taking sleeping genius was taken away.”]
Pei Shinian’s last remaining character as the exam-taking sleeping genius was also taken away.
He sat up straight, his face wooden, staring straight at the clock above the blackboard to keep track of the time.
The exam time flew by quickly, and soon it was time to hand in the papers.
Director Zhang stood up and clapped his hands. “Alright, put down your pens. Jianchu, help collect the answer sheets.”
Song Jianchu stood up and collected the answer sheets from the back to the front, first taking away Pei Shinian’s answer sheet, which was almost blank except for the multiple-choice questions.
Pei Shinian asked quietly, “Are there many options for option C as the correct answer?”
Song Jianchu replied, “Not many.”
Pei Shinian remained silent.
[“Ha ha ha, what can you do about it, Shinian?”]
[“Will Shinian leave early for this issue?”]
[“Nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you’re willing to give up.”]
Lu Shen put down his pen, handed his answer sheet to Song Jianchu, and pressed his forehead.
It had been almost ten years since he left school, and he hadn’t taken an exam in a long time. Even the former academic god had a slight headache.
Bai Xingyu quickly finished the last part of his English essay, and with a painful hand, he put down his pen and handed in his answer sheet. “Damn, is taking exams always this tiring?”
Song Jianchu walked to the desk of the last student. There was always one student who would keep writing until the last moment before handing in their paper.
Mu Ye was still checking the results of the multiple-choice questions, with a slight frown.
“Time’s up,” Song Jianchu reminded him, putting his hand on the corner of the answer sheet and tugging it slightly.
Mu Ye pressed down on the answer sheet. “Ten more seconds.”
[“Teacher Mu, that’s not fair.”]
[“Hurry up and hand in your paper!!”]
[“I feel like I’m looking at myself.”]
The student who submitted a blank paper turned around and joked, “Brother, hand in your paper quickly. Don’t struggle anymore. We’re all art students, it’s not embarrassing to have a specialized field.”
Bai Xingyu sat sideways and sneered, “Hurry up and hand it in. Even if you calculate more, you still can’t beat me.”
It was the first time Song Jianchu had seen someone so serious. He couldn’t help but smile a little, curling his lips.
“It’s time,” Song Jianchu reminded them.
“Hand in your papers quickly, don’t write anymore,” Director Zhang urged.
Song Jianchu pulled the answer sheet again, and suddenly felt a warmth on his hand.
Mu Ye boldly held his hand on the test paper and swiftly corrected his answers with his other hand. “Right away.”
[“!!!!”]
[“Is this flirting? Are they flirting?!”]
[“Ah ah ah ah ah”]
[“Don’t collect the papers, you guys are letting me get caught!!”]
“Son, calm down, don’t move!” Bai Xingyu exclaimed.
“Old Mu, do you have no shame? Just grab the papers without caring about Jianchu!” Pei Shinian exclaimed.
Lu Shen sneered mockingly.
Song Jianchu felt the strength of Mu Ye’s fingers gripping his hand and kept his hand in the same position for a few seconds. Finally, his hand was released, and it was half-numb from being held too tightly.
Mu Ye let out a sigh of relief and handed in his answer sheet, smiling at the person collecting the papers. “Did I get it right?”
Pei Shinian couldn’t sit still and pointed to his brother. “Director, did you hear that? He’s checking his answers before the exam is over! Deduct his points!”
[“Music God is Shameless”]
[“Public Male Prostitution Bribery! Deduct Points!!”]
[“Hehe, I love watching this show”]
[“Too bad, the demon you picked the wrong occasion. How could the Demon King Academic God violate exam rules, haha”]
It was a variety show recording, not a serious exam. Director Zhang just laughed and drank hot water, ignoring the situation.
Song Jianchu calmly collected the answer sheet and accidentally made eye contact with someone who was looking at him expectantly.
When a man asks for help, he looks even more like a demon. His lips curled up slightly, smiling alluringly and ambiguously.
Song Jianchu calmly averted his gaze and turned around to hand in the answer sheet.
“Hahaha.” Bai Xingyu felt relieved and sneered, “It’s useless! Our leader is the most honest. Even if you try to bribe him with your body, it won’t work!”
“Is that so?” Mu Ye let out a sigh of disappointment and capped his pen.
As if the signal was delayed, the person who had taken a step forward whispered, “Right.”
Bai Xingyu: “…”
