"The results of the last test have come out. Most students managed to maintain their performance from last semester, but a few who have fallen behind need to work harder. Now I will distribute the papers. When you hear your name, please come up..."
Xia Xihe sat there absentmindedly, not really paying attention to what the teacher was saying. Next to him, Yan Yulong was once again comfortably leaning against him, sound asleep.
" Xia Xihe." The teacher suddenly called out his name.
"Huh?" Xia Xihe raised his head in confusion and saw the teacher looking at him with displeasure.
"Your paper, come and get it." The teacher held up the test paper in his hand.
"Uh..." Xia Xihe wanted to stand up but was afraid of waking the person on him. He fidgeted in his seat for a long time but couldn't get up, his eyes filled with anxiety as he looked at the teacher. The teacher didn't dare offend Yan Yulong either, so seeing him like this, he had no choice but to bring the test paper to him.
"You've slipped a bit this time; you need to put in more effort next time," the teacher said before walking back to the podium.
Xia Xihe looked at the score on the paper, and his mind went blank—seventy-two points.
During lunch, Xia Xihe sat there in a daze, staring blankly at the Pine Nut Smoked Meat in front of him. Yan Yulong waved his fingers in front of his eyes, but he showed no reaction.
Yan Yulong brought a bite-sized Shrimp Ball to his mouth and teased him, "Wife, ah..."
Xia Xihe unconsciously ate it while continuing to space out. Seeing that he was completely lost in thought, Yan Yulong mischievously played with his hair, tying Xia Xihe's soft strands into two little horns.
Xia Xihe's cute face surprisingly matched well with the braids. Yan Yulong looked at his silly and adorable appearance and burst into laughter. At his laugh, Xia Xihe finally snapped back to reality.
"Huh?" Xia Xihe exclaimed as he touched his head in surprise.
"Don't take them down; they're really cute," Yan Yulong said as he leaned closer and gave him two quick pecks on the lips. The servants standing nearby instinctively turned their faces away.
Xia Xihe shyly pushed him away, fiddling with her hair.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought?" Yan Yulong asked, resting his chin on her shoulder.
Xia Xihe glanced at him with a hint of sorrow before lowering her head.
"Nothing..."
"Don't lie to me!" Yan Yulong threatened, biting her earlobe. "If you don't tell me, I'll put the smoked meat on your little butt and eat it!"
"......>_<|||" It's not like he wouldn't do it... Xia Xihe could only touch her ear and stammer, "I... my score on this test... was very poor..."
"Very poor score?"
"Yeah... in math, I only got seventy-two..."
"What does a poor score mean?" Yan Yulong scoffed.
"It means I'm falling behind a lot..." Xia Xihe said self-deprecatingly. Yan Yulong sighed helplessly and asked:
"What did you score last time?"
"Ninety-six..."
"Who told you to do so well last time?"
"= =||| That's not the reason..."
"What is the reason?"
"......" Xia Xihe remained silent and did not dare to lift his head. Yan Yulong could guess his thoughts just by looking at his expression. He leaned against him and asked, "Is it because of me?"
Xia Xihe hesitated, glanced at him, and nodded. Yan Yulong straightened up and continued eating. Seeing that he did not respond, Xia Xihe could only silently eat along.
After a long while, Yan Yulong casually asked, "When is your next test?"
"I'm not really sure... usually once every two weeks..." Xia Xihe replied uncertainly.
"Got it."
"0_0?"
After finishing the meal, Yan Yulong unexpectedly said, "I want to sleep alone tonight. You can go back to class."
"Oh..." Xia Xihe didn't quite understand why he would say that, but he was indeed eager to return to class and catch up on what he had missed.
"Then I'm leaving. Goodbye." Xia Xihe waved at Yan Yulong and happily ran off like a bird escaping from a cage. Yan Yulong watched his retreating figure and let out a noncommittal hum.
"Hmph..."
In the following week, Yan Yulong did not appear in Class 2-1 again. Both Xia Xihe and the teacher breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to have normal classes...
Some classmates were curious about the situation and spread rumors that Yan Yulong might have developed feelings for someone else, but no one dared to risk asking Xia Xihe. Only the trio of Yao Jialin, who were familiar with Xia Xihe, gossiped and tried to find out more—
"I don't know... maybe he's been busy lately," Xia Xihe replied, putting down the book, realizing it a moment too late.
"You two didn't have a fight before, did you?" Tang Yongjun asked, but Zhen Huiqi jumped in before Xia Xihe could respond.
"Isn't that a silly question? How could Xihe, such a little lamb, dare to argue with that wolf?"
"That's true."
A certain little lamb cast a confused glance, and Yao Jialin asked again, "Has he ever complained about anything you do?"
"Well..." It seemed he had complained about not being intimate with him, but even Xia Xihe knew better than to share that with them.
"Look at your reaction; that means he has, right?" Yao Jialin observed keenly.
"Um..."
"Be careful."
"Careful?"
"Men are fickle creatures; they excel at being strict with others while being lenient with themselves. Once you do something he doesn't like, he’ll have an excuse to kick you out..."
"Jialin, that's not right; Xihe is a man too," Zhen Huiqi corrected her.
"Uh... I forgot for a moment... Anyway, just be careful he doesn't change his mind."
"If he really does change, there's nothing I can do about it..." Xia Xihe muttered to himself, and the three girls immediately turned pale, each looking more anxious than the last.
" Xihe! Although it makes me very unwilling to see you being completely consumed by him, that kind of sadistic attacker is truly a perfect match for a little weak beast like you! Don't give up! "Yao Jialin took the lead.
"Child, there will always be ups and downs. The meddling third party is a catalyst for love, but you must believe that you are Brother Long's true soulmate. Let those bystanders be cannon fodder! Never admit defeat!" "Tang Yongjun followed closely behind.
"I won't say much more. My serialization has just begun. If you exit like this, how can you face the souls trapped at the bottom?! You absolutely must persist!" "Zhen Huiqi concluded.
"= =||| Can you not always say such profound things..."
"What's so profound? Our words have only one meaning." "Yao Jialin struck a big sister pose.
"What do you mean..."
The three women pointed at him in perfect unison: "You are Born to Suffer!"
"......0_0? Why does that sound so familiar..."
"Oh ho ho ho ho~~" The three women snickered.
What an ominous premonition... Xia Xihe shivered again.
