Chapter 1 This "1" Is Very Direct

But even more arrogant.

When the reporter saw Chen Yuan do this, they were stunned.

At the same time, they worried for him.

If he made such a bold statement at this time, it would be so embarrassing if it wasn't "1" in the end.

When will the habit of feeling embarrassed for others be corrected?

However, if there is no "1", it would be really embarrassing!

Why not list a range to narrow it down?

After all, if the qualifiers are sufficient, everyone can be number one.

Like, 'My Superpower Refreshes Weekly' romantic light novel number one or something!

But Chen Yuan looked really determined, and the 1 in his hand was frozen for a while.

"Is the camera on?" Chen Yuan asked.

"... Um, it's on." The reporter paused before answering quickly.

"That's okay then, my interview is over."

Chen Yuan was relieved after confirming that he had started global recording when he was showing off.

Then, he returned to Lao Mo and He Hongtao's side.

"I was worried that the media would trick you, but I didn't expect you to climb into the pit yourself." Lao Mo was really convinced. Chen Yuan's childish personality was just too arrogant.

Are all young people like this now?

There's no need for that.

"I've never seen you so confident. It seems I can look forward to it." He Hongtao looked at Chen Yuan with approval, genuinely happy for him.

"I was confident before, but it wasn't necessary," Chen Yuan said.

"Your mentality is really good. I can't compare to you." He Hongtao said.

"Teacher, then I'll go first," Chen Yuan said.

"Okay, remember to invite me to your graduation banquet."

As He Hongtao spoke, he extended his hand.

"Of course, I definitely will. I'll toast you." Chen Yuan also extended his hand and formally shook hands with He Hongtao, who had always recognized him and given him so much care and special treatment.

"And you, please be sure to bring your wife and Xiaodou Dou along." Chen Yuan then extended his hand to Lao Mo next to him, taking the initiative to shake hands.

"Of course, I'll come if you invite me."

It could be said that Lao Mo's life was saved by Chen Yuan. Naturally, he had a different feeling towards such a child than ordinary students.

"Okay, then goodbye, teachers. I'm going to find Xinyu."

And so, Chen Yuan bid farewell to his mentors and prepared to find Xinyu.

"Get in the car."

At this moment, a heroic Tong Tong, riding her motorcycle, wearing black slim-fit jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, stopped in front of Chen Yuan.

"You're off work?" Chen Yuan asked, concerned.

"Yeah, finally off work." Li Tong said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to give me a ride." Chen Yuan wasn't overly polite. He sat directly on the motorcycle, put on his helmet, and wrapped his arms around Li Tong's waist from behind.

The motorcycle slowly started.

"How did you do on the exam this time?" Li Tong asked.

"Thanks to you for taking me to the exam, I did exceptionally well," Chen Yuan said.

"Hehe, I knew it. My students who I take to the exam will always do well." Li Tong was very happy with the emotional value provided by Chen Yuan, because according to the meaning of his words, her actions had had an effect.

"What are your plans after the college entrance examination is over?" Because she was riding a motorcycle, Li Tong said loudly.

"Well, in the beginning, I'll definitely be playing, having dinner parties, drinking, and stuff like that. Later, I'll probably travel," Chen Yuan said.

"That's great. Have fun."

"Yeah, I'll treat you to a meal when you're free."

"Okay, as long as you ask, even if I'm arresting a criminal, I'll spare a hand to return your call."

"Don't!"

"Just kidding, haha." Li Tong smiled, then said uncertainly, "I don't know what you boys like, so I chose something myself. It'll arrive in a few days."

"Ah? What did you buy me, Sister..." Chen Yuan became a little nervous.

"Why? Shouldn't I give you a graduation gift?"

"Your gifts are always a bit too expensive. I'm embarrassed."

"You don't need to be embarrassed. Spending money on you makes me happy. Who told you that you have me in your heart?" Li Tong was in a very good mood when she said this.

Oh, what a karmic relationship.

Although at the beginning, he was indeed a substitute for Li Tong's Xiao Jie, Chen Yuan later realized that she really liked him.

Gradually, he also developed some affection for this woman who always called herself "older sister."

In that case, he should accept it.

"Then what did you buy, exactly?"

Eh, why did I say an inverted sentence?

"I asked my male colleagues what boys like, and then I chose a highly praised answer. It seems to be called a four thousand and seventy or something."

"That's called a 4070... Eh, are you spoiling me too much?" Chen Yuan was really a little flattered.

Moreover, wouldn't it be a bit too much to pair a 4070 with my old, broken desktop?

With this, I'll have to build a new computer. That budget will instantly exceed ten thousand. Seriously, doing this kind of thing...

He could feel that Chen Yuan behind him was particularly happy. And since that was the reaction, then her choice wasn't wrong.

"Okay, we're here."

When they drove to Fourth High School, Li Tong stopped.

"That gift..."

"Accept it. It's a token of my affection."

After receiving the returned helmet from her, Li Tong gently tapped Chen Yuan's forehead and revealed a particularly bright smile.

Instantly, he was healed by Tong Tong's expression...

"Thank you. I'll take care of you in your old age."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Yuan bid farewell to Li Tong in this way. After watching her leave, he went to Fourth High School to meet with Xia Xinyu.

She should have been waiting for a while.

And so, he found the entrance.

Then, he saw Xia Xinyu standing with her aunt, the two of them chatting about something, particularly seriously.

"Xinyu, Aunt," Chen Yuan quickly went over.

"Chen Yuan." Seeing Chen Yuan, her aunt immediately revealed a surprised expression. "How did you do on the English exam in the end?"

"Um, it was pretty good," Chen Yuan said, nodding.

"You're really something." Her aunt felt that Chen Yuan in her impression had never been unconfident.

Every time they met, in any matter, there was a sense of composure.

And the final result was also effortless competence.

"What are you two doing?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Aunt's dragging me to check the math answers..." Xia Xinyu muttered.

"What's wrong? You don't want to check the answers?" Her aunt said with a smile.

"This is too fast..."

"Just check one math exam. I'll feel at ease after checking it," her aunt said. "It'll be quick, I can finish it in five minutes."

"I've already finished looking at it. According to these scoring rules..." Xia Xinyu calculated and said with particular joy, "I got 140."

"To be able to get 140 with this level of difficulty... Xinyu is really amazing." Xia Fang had done it herself, and she could only reach a little over 140.

And only a small number of students in her class could achieve this result.

"Come on, Chen Yuan, it's your turn." Her aunt directly handed the phone to Chen Yuan, letting him check the answers as well.

"I'll accept your kind offer."

"You sound strangely reluctant."

"I'm afraid I'll do badly and be embarrassed."

"You're being humble at this time." Her aunt smiled as she looked at him, anticipating his final answer.

And after about three minutes, Chen Yuan handed the phone to her aunt. "There shouldn't be any problems."

"You got one wrong, deducted a little for the process, but it's still full marks. That's what an answer should be. What's this 'shouldn't be any problems'?" Her aunt couldn't help but complain.

Shouldn't "shouldn't be any problems" correspond to "not bad"?

Um...

A-Fang is really strict.

Since she had asked so meticulously, Chen Yuan had no choice but to answer, "If there are no problems with this answer, if my memory is not messed up..."

"You're being so cautious at this time." Even Xia Xinyu found Chen Yuan's change of face abstract.

"Then it should be full marks." After fully stacking shields, Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Xia Fang finally felt relieved. Then, she said something that piqued his interest: "Shi Yi was caught by Principal Zhang as soon as he left the examination hall, and then they found a place to check the answers. I heard he also got full marks in math."

"Then this subject is a draw." This was also within Chen Yuan's expectations.

"What about your school's teachers? Didn't they ask you to check the answers?" Xia Fang asked curiously.

"No, they just told me to remember to invite them to the graduation banquet..."

The teachers and leaders of Fourth High School only needed to find the students to check the answers, while the teachers and leaders of Eleventh High School had many more things to consider.

"Okay, okay, in that case, I won't hold you back. Have fun with Xinyu." Her aunt said with a smile.

"Yeah."

Xinyu nodded, and then, holding Chen Yuan's hand, the two of them left the school and headed to the hotel.

In the hotel, the two of them were packing their things, preparing to check out.

And before leaving, Xinyu sat on the bed, looked at Chen Yuan in front of her, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Aunt will drive Xiao Yu over."

"That's great, I miss that dog so much." Chen Yuan hadn't seen Yu Zi properly for almost a year. This was almost as long as he had been raising it.

"A family of three, finally back in place." Xia Xinyu was full of anticipation for that kind of life.

"As for the graduation banquet, I was thinking, we should have ours together, at He Xiang, okay?" Chen Yuan asked for her opinion. "Of course, I'll definitely invite Uncle and the others."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xia Xinyu nodded with a smile.

"I feel like you're in a great mood. Did you do exceptionally well on the exam?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"The exam is one aspect, but more than that..." Xia Xinyu raised her head, thought for a moment, and looked at Chen Yuan, saying, "We've finally ended a tense period of time, and the two of us can finally slow down. Slower, and even slower."

What she said resonated deeply with Chen Yuan.

That's right, from now on, they could sleep until they woke up naturally every day.

They wouldn't have to rush to eat, rush home, and before going to bed at night, they could go out and stroll around.

Sitting next to Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan held her hand and said as if confiding in her, "After the results come out, let's go back to Shao Township."

Hearing Chen Yuan thinking of her like this, Xia Xinyu nodded, somewhat touched. "Okay, we'll go back together."

Chen Yuan reached out and put his arm around Xia Xinyu's waist. And Xia Xinyu also leaned on his shoulder.

The two of them were like an old married couple, instantly entering the state.

"Then let's go check out," Xia Xinyu said.

"Wait, isn't the check-out time tomorrow at noon?"

"Even if it is, we've both finished the exam. Why are we still staying here?"

"We're resting at home anyway, so we can rest here too. Why don't we just spend the night here?" Chen Yuan suggested.

"Eee..." Xia Xinyu thought for a moment, then looked at Chen Yuan. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Chen Yuan particularly liked hearing Xia Xinyu say the words "I'll listen to you."

It was really a little refreshing.

If a girl wants to flatter a man, it's best to say this sentence more often.

Of course, Xia Xinyu wasn't doing it to flatter him. It was purely because she loved him too much, so it didn't count as a "technique."

"The weather's kind of hot, so I'm going to take a shower..." Chen Yuan said, touching the back of his neck.

Xia Xinyu's cheeks instantly flushed red.

She placed her hands on her thighs, obedient like a primary school student, and nodded. "Okay, okay."

"Okay, then I'll go wash."

Chen Yuan went to the bathroom just like that.

And he didn't know why it was designed like this...

This glass, it was transparent.

What? It seemed like everything could be seen.

Xia Xinyu, like watching television, tilted her head and watched the scene inside the glass.

Her cheeks were becoming more and more red...

Her heart was pounding non-stop.

And so, she took out her phone, alleviating her attention by scrolling.

As a result, she scrolled to Bai Zeming...

"I am Bai Mingze, I am this year's top science student."

Seeing this interview, Xia Xinyu was directly stunned.

There was someone even more arrogant than Chen Yuan!

However, the risk of him saying this didn't seem so great.

After all, in Ning City, he was the only standout.

Ning City was also a major city for education.

Even if he lost to Chen Yuan and Shi Yi, his status as the top student in Ning City wouldn't be affected.

Chen Yuan was different. Even if his grades were very strong, he had to consider Shi Yi's existence.

This was the result of internal competition within the same city...

She should keep scrolling.

After a while, Chen Yuan came out of the bathroom.

Xia Xinyu: "..."

Her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

"I, I don't have any clean clothes to change into," Chen Yuan explained.

"Oh... then I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay."

Chen Yuan sat on the bed, waiting for Xia Xinyu to wash.

At this time, he activated his clairvoyance, surveying the entire room.

Fortunately, the hotel owner's mother was protected - there were no cameras.

And he was watching the scene inside the glass...

This was better than the phone.

While waiting, Xia Xinyu slowly pushed open the door.

At this moment, her body was still a little damp.

Her long hair was also loose.

"I, I don't have any clean clothes to change into," Xia Xinyu explained, her face also red, one hand on her chest.

"Oh... That's right, since we didn't prepare any. You, you come up here."

"... Okay."

Xia Xinyu climbed onto the bed just like that.

Her legs were sitting on Chen Yuan's legs.

The two of them looked into each other's eyes.

Looking and looking, their lips were getting closer and closer...

And so, after a few more kisses, the two separated.

Then, their eyes were burning, but they looked at each other somewhat blankly...

"I... what should I do?" Xia Xinyu asked somewhat nervously.

"Ah?"

Chen Yuan didn't know either.

It wasn't that he didn't know.

He hadn't eaten pork, but hadn't he seen pigs run?

But how should he say these words?

After all, both of them were martial arts beginners with no experience.

And just like that, they fell into a stalemate.

"I..." Xia Xinyu's fingers touched her lips, and she opened her mouth shyly, "I, I love you so much."

"Of course, me too."

"I love you... so I'm willing to do many things for you."

Eee, what does this mean?

Chen Yuan didn't know why Xia Xinyu was saying this at this time.

Until, Xia Xinyu, her cheeks scarlet, slowly raised her hand and coiled up her waist-length hair...
