The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.
After a while, Shen Qi said nonchalantly, "Yes, it was him."
Lu Zhi scooted closer to him, his thigh brushing against Shen Qi's. He deliberately tilted his head, gazing up from below at Shen Qi's lowered eyelashes, his shallow pupils. He asked softly, "You don't want me to regain my memories, do you?"
Shen Qi lowered his gaze to look at him. The self-driving car entered the low-speed road. The afterglow of the sunset shone on the pine trees lining the road, their shadows flickered across Lu Zhi's eyes, which were as clear as black obsidian, glistening with the faint warmth of the sunset, rippling with a gentle, curious smile, and that tenderness, like clouds brushing the softest part of the heart.
"I will kill him." Shen Qi raised his hand to caress Lu Zhi's face, his fingertips rubbing the corners of his eyes. Beneath his calm voice was a suppressed, earth-shattering killing intent.
Lu Zhi knitted his brows in thought. "So when I was a god, my eyes were golden? Wow, then why were they stolen?"
Actually, Lu Zhi had always been curious about his identity, but Shen Qi didn't seem to want to talk about it, so he never asked.
Shen Qi's thoughts seemed to be lost in memory, and he didn't answer Lu Zhi's question for a moment. After a long pause, he replied irrelevantly, "Do you know Dimera, the God of Lies? A low-tier god with a perverted hobby of collecting souls."
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up as he waited for Shen Qi to continue, but Shen Qi then touched his wrist and tapped his light brain. "What did you learn in the academy? Don't you even look at the materials? Check it yourself."
Lu Zhi: ...
Lu Zhi: ???
"That's it?" Lu Zhi glared. "Aren't there any other secrets to tell me? Like why he stole my eyes, what his strength is, why he suddenly came to Huaguo, what his plot is..."
Shen Qi pinched Lu Zhi's mouth into a duckbill shape with his thumb and index finger, stopping his incessant questioning. "If I tell you everything, is there any fun in exploring?"
Lu Zhi blinked, then looked around. It seemed like that was true.
Shen Qi then dropped another bombshell. "Do you know there's a monthly exam next week?"
Lu Zhi's eyes widened abruptly. He slapped Shen Qi's hand away, freeing his mouth. "What! Monthly exam? What monthly exam? Does this school even have exams? What are they testing?"
Since entering this school, he had only attended Shen Qi's classes. He had been busy outside afterwards and hadn't returned to school for a long time. No one had told him there would be an exam!
Fearing that Shen Qi was tricking him, Lu Zhi quickly opened his light brain and asked Lan Yu Shan. The reply was that it was true, and it was next Monday. kuAiδugg
"Today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday, and the exam is the day after tomorrow? What happens if I fail?" Lu Zhi never expected to experience the fear of being dominated by exams after transmigrating.
Shen Qi affectionately stroked Lu Zhi's head. "Sweetie, you've been enrolled for so long, have you ever looked at the school's examination system and graduation requirements?"
Lu Zhi: ...It seems like it.
Lu Zhi quickly opened the school's graduation requirements. The full score for each monthly exam was 12 points. A B-grade rating in the monthly exam was 5 points, an A-grade was 8 points, and an S-grade was 12 points. Cumulative scores reaching 90 points, and completing one graduation mission, were required for actual graduation.
If you failed the monthly exam, you received 0 points. Wouldn't that mean you could never graduate?
Beep.
The self-driving car stopped at the school gate. Lu Zhi got out of the car expressionlessly. Shen Qi was amused by his dispirited gaze. "For the first exam, you don't want to fail and have to retake it, do you?"
Lu Zhi looked at him faintly. "Of course."
Shen Qi chuckled. As the evening breeze rustled through the treetops, he leaned in close, his eyes full of twinkling laughter. "I am the examiner for this test. Do you want to try bribing me? Hmm?"
Lu Zhi indignantly accused, "You're the examiner, how can you let me cheat by opening a back door? That's wrong!"
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow and nodded as he walked inside. "Yes, you're right. Then forget it."
Lu Zhi grabbed his hand from behind and asked seriously, "How do I bribe you?"
