Chapter 251: Winter Holiday Arrives, Preparation Complete
Chapter 251 – Winter Holiday Arrives, Preparation Complete
Afternoon, Sixth High:
Chen Yu walked out of the fifth-floor examination room with his backpack and made his way down to Cla.s.s 2-2’s cla.s.sroom.
“I’m the first?”
After scanning the empty cla.s.sroom, Chen Yu walked to his seat and packed his belongings into his backpack.
After today, Sixth High would be going on winter break.
When Chen Yu thought back to his experiences throughout the semester and how he had quickly gone from being a flunkie to someone capable of influencing the entire world, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of insecurity.
“How mysterious…”
Picking up his full backpack, Chen Yu sighed momentarily before turning around to leave. However, when he pa.s.sed by Xing Biqi’s seat, he couldn’t help but stop his footsteps.
He noticed a gift hidden in the desk drawer.
Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the small purple box and found a card stuck on it.
Written on the card was the following:
I feel lucky to meet you at a young and brilliant age.
So long as I see you, the dark clouds in my world dissipate.
Although I usually treat you coldly, it is only because I do not know how to express myself.
Through this card, I wish to say that having you here really is wonderful.
I wish you a Happy New Year.
-Zhen Congming.
“Hoh?” His eyebrows lifting, Chen Yu reread the card before looking at Zhen Congming’s seat. “I never knew you had it in you.”
Without hesitation, Chen Yu pulled out a pen from his backpack and skillfully censored the words “Zhen Congming.” He then added two words behind the censor bar—Chen Yu.
“Happy New Year~”
While humming a tune, Chen Yu returned the gift box into the desk drawer and left.
…
Ring… Ring… Ring…
Twenty minutes later, in a certain cla.s.sroom…
Upon hearing the bell, the female teacher sitting by the lectern stood up and clapped her hands. “Time’s up. Place your exam papers on the upper-left corner of your tables and line up to leave the exam venue.”
Hearing this, the students inside the exam venue hurriedly packed up their belongings and dashed out of the cla.s.sroom.
The end of the final exam meant that the long-awaited two-month winter break was finally here.
There was no Sixth High student who wouldn’t rejoice at receiving vacation, even though there was almost no difference between going to school and being on vacation for most of them…
“Ugh…”
The only person to actually feel upset about this vacation was probably Xing Biqi.
After storing away her writing utensils and picking up her backpack, she looked at the gray sky outside the window and sighed.
Once the holidays started, she would have a difficult time meeting Chen Yu.
When she thought about how she couldn’t make exquisite desserts for her sweetheart for the next two months, she couldn’t help but feel sad.
“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” After a while, the female teacher at the lectern approached Xing Biqi and patted her back. “Did you make some mistakes in your test?”
“No.” Xing Biqi shook her head. She then squeezed out a smile and said, “I’ll leave now.”
“Happy New Year in advance,” the teacher said, smiling.
“Happy New Year.”
After seeing Xing Biqi leaving, the female teacher gradually retracted her smile. She then raised her hand to cover her mouth before whispering, “I’ve installed the monitoring device on Target E. The effective period is one hour, and it will automatically fall off within half an hour.”
“Good. Please make sure everything is foolproof to avoid getting detected by Target A’s anti-reconnaissance equipment.”
“Understood.”
…
After leaving the fourth-floor exam venue, Xing Biqi ran back to Cla.s.s 2-2 with a heart filled with expectation. However, when she returned to the cla.s.sroom and saw Chen Yu’s empty seat, disappointment immediately filled her.
As she had expected, Chen Yu had long since turned in his exam paper and returned home.
Refusing to give up, she quickly walked to the balcony and approached Li Liang. She then asked, “Li Liang, has Chen Yu gone home already?”
“He’s long gone,” Li Liang, who was seated cross-legged on the balcony and wrapped in a military-style jacket, said.
“Oh.” Xing Biqi’s head drooped down.
“What? Brother Chen didn’t even greet you before leaving?”
“Mhm.”
“Tsk, tsk.” Li Liang smacked his lips and touched his bald head. “Sure enough, the one that’s loved has nothing to fear.”
“D-Don’t talk nonsense…” Xing Biqi’s face immediately flushed red with embarra.s.sment. She then quickly changed the subject and asked, “Why are you still sitting here? Aren’t you going home?”
“I’m on duty. I can only leave once you guys are gone. Achoo!”
“A-Are you sure you don’t want to ask the teacher to get you a new seat?”
“Keke.” Wiping his runny nose, Li Liang sneered and said, “I won’t let anybody s.n.a.t.c.h this precious spot from me! It might look cold now, but you guys will be envious of me in the summer!”
“…”
“Hurry up and go home. I’m trying to sweep the floor. A-choo!”
Returning to her seat, Xing Biqi sighed once more. She then started silently sorting out the textbooks inside her desk.
“Huh?”
When she took out the large stack of textbooks from her drawer, she noticed that there was actually a purple gift box sitting atop the stack. “This is…”
Hurriedly, she took apart the pink ribbon tied around the box and removed the lid. Meanwhile, inside the gift box was a box of beautifully packed chocolates, and outside the box was a white card.
When the girl picked up the card with her trembling right hand and read it, her eyes instantly reddened.
[I feel lucky to meet you at a young and brilliant age.]
[So long as I see you, the dark clouds…]
[…I wish to say that having you here really is wonderful.]
[I wish you a Happy New Year.]
[Chen Yu.]
Finally, Xing Biqi could no longer hold back her tears, and glistening teardrops fell on the card.
“Yeah!”
In the distance, Zhen Congming, who was secretly observing this scene, clenched his fists in excitement. He then hurriedly picked up his backpack and left. “Poaching successful! Hahaha…”
While laughing, he took out a book t.i.tled The Book of Love and flipped to page 233. “Next, after the girl has received your gift, wait ten minutes for her emotions to fluctuate. Afterward, send her a message and give her an outlet to vent her emotions.
“Ten minutes…”
After walking out of the school gate, Zhen Congming took out the roses he prepared and imagined spending a wonderful winter vacation dating a beautiful girl. After eight minutes had gone by, he couldn’t hold back any longer and sent Xing Biqi a message on WeChat.
[Zhen Congming: Do you like the gift?]
[You are not his (her) friend. Please send a friend request first. You can only chat after the other party has verified your request.]
“???”
…
After returning home and greeting his family, Chen Yu walked straight into his bedroom. They tossed his heavy backpack onto the bed.
“Mr. Chen, you’re back,” Little Peach exclaimed in surprise.
“Mhm. Pa.s.s me my gla.s.ses.”
“Okay.”
After receiving the Quantum Reading Gla.s.ses from Little Peach, Chen Yu checked the battery before putting it on. He then picked up a book on popular science he got from the Academy’s library and rapidly flipped through the pages.
He was a reviewer of advanced technology. With each pa.s.sing livestream, he started taking more and more notice of the importance of having basic scientific knowledge. And as his popularity and audience grew, it was imperative that he increased his knowledge.
Not to mention, he had founded an academy focusing on natural sciences. If he had nothing in his brain, he would easily embarra.s.s himself when acting cool in front of the professors and students.
Of course, he wasn’t a researcher, and neither did he need to take an exam. So, he only needed to have a general impression of the various complex topics. Because of this, his learning speed was rapid. In just a dozen minutes, he had already finished a book and proceeded to the second, third, fourth books, and so on.
In regards to the eighth official livestream happening the day after tomorrow…
Chen Yu had already completed all the necessary preparations.
