Although they didn’t keep in touch often, he always seemed to appear at key moments, like now.

Su Weiyi smiled slightly and replied: [Thank you]

Then she put her phone away and walked into the school gates.

All the candidates in the city were randomly assigned to various exam venues, and Su Weiyi was lucky enough to be at her own school. Looking at the familiar campus, the slight nervousness she felt had already calmed down.

"Xiao Yi."

At that moment, she heard someone calling her. She looked up and saw a classmate named Chen Ajia. Because of her freckles and chubbiness, she was pretty much discriminated against in the class. Su Weiyi had helped her twice. Although Su Weiyi didn’t think they were close, perhaps out of gratitude, Chen Ajia was always especially warm towards her.

"Xiao Yi, you’re taking the exam here too? What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

There was a reason Chen Ajia was as chubby as she was; she loved eating. But because she was mocked, she always hid in the corner to eat secretly. Su Weiyi had seen her many times.

Now, Chen Ajia was holding a Snickers bar in her hand: "Xiao Yi, have some for a boost of energy."

Su Weiyi smiled slightly: "Thank you, but no, I’ve already had breakfast."

"Oh, okay then."

Not only were Su Weiyi and Chen Ajia both taking the exam at their school, but they were also in the same exam room. The first subject of the college entrance exam was Chinese, which was Su Weiyi’s strength.

For a subject like Chinese where it’s hard for everyone to score very high, Su Weiyi had once scored an impressive 140.

She carefully reviewed the exam paper before starting to answer questions, knowing that all she needed was to perform normally.

Outside the campus, Sheng Yanxiao was sitting on the second floor of a western-style restaurant directly facing the gates of S University Affiliated Middle School. The young man stretched out his long legs, and in front of him was a takeout box with a piece of red bean mousse cake inside.

Beside it was a cup of black coffee, with Sheng Yanxiao holding a phone in one hand and tapping on the table with the other.

Soon, a panting boy rushed upstairs, his eyes scanning the second floor before landing on Sheng Yanxiao and stepping forward.

In June in S City, the early morning was already sweltering. The boy had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead as he sat down opposite Sheng Yanxiao: "I mean, brother, why did you call me out so early? I was gaming until 3 AM last night, this isn’t fair."

Sheng Yanxiao gave him a brief glance and pushed the cake in front of him: "Later, you go deliver it."

Si Nian looked at the person opposite him and then at the red bean mousse cake in front of him, slapping his hands on the table: "Come on, really? You called me out here this early just to deliver a cake?"

Young Master Sheng took a sip of coffee without even raising his eyelids: "What else?"

Si Nian pulled at his hair in frustration, damn it, could he pretend not to know this guy?

What’s bad friendship if not this? It’s a bloody lesson.

Sheng Yanxiao placed down his coffee cup, clearly still a teenager, yet exuding an indescribable air of authority with every gesture, as if he were not a struggling high school student but a business elite, a dark horse in the corporate world, a strong and cunning top boss. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Go deliver it, solo tonight, I’ll give you three pieces of equipment."

Si Nian’s eyes immediately lit up, and he embraced the cake box: "Deal, no backing out."

Sheng Yanxiao snorted: "Of course."

Si Nian was satisfied, paused briefly, then asked again: "But Brother Xiao, does it make any difference if I deliver it instead of you?"
