This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 169 So what if my deskmate is amazing?!

What usually takes more than ten minutes to walk can be covered in just a few minutes by bicycle.

Wen Zhixia suddenly wished that her commute to and from school would be longer.

"Taoist priest, please ride slower."

"It's still slow, we'll be late."

"Nowhere is there!"

Chen Shi'an slowed down his cycling speed slightly and asked curiously:

When will the results of the previous monthly exams be released?

"The test papers should be handed out tonight, and the rankings should be finalized around tomorrow."

"Will Little Cicada be able to get first place again this time?"

"What do you think?"

Wen Zhixia didn't answer him, but instead pinched the soft flesh on his waist and asked him a question in return.

"I think you should still be able to get first place."

"So you think I'm that amazing~"

"Heh, because I haven't taken the humanities exam yet."

"Get out, get out."

Wen Zhixia tilted her head and asked him again, "Does our bet from last time still count?"

The question about whether to choose C or B?

"correct."

"I can give you a chance to change your mind."

"Tch! I was afraid you'd change your mind!"

"Ah."

Chen Shi'an laughed, "Then you just need to be prepared to carry my bags."

"Fine, I'll take it! ...No, I should say you'd better be prepared to promise me one thing!"

What do you want me to promise you?

"That's only useful in crucial moments, who would tell you that now..."

"..."

Wen Zhixia had already thought it through. Since she and Lin Mengqiu both chose C for that question and had also made a bet with the Taoist priest, if the Taoist priest lost, she would definitely see what the Ice Cube Spirit wanted him to do before deciding what she wanted him to do.

Otherwise, if the Ice Cube Spirit doesn't have any martial ethics, don't blame her for being impolite!
She'd spent a lot of time thinking about that question these past few days... Now that she thinks about it, it seems she really did choose the wrong answer...

Oh well! I'll just grab the bag! At least I didn't get any ice cubes anyway!
Before I knew it, I had ridden to the school gate.

Once you get here, there are more students.

As a semi-closed school, it is generally recommended that students live on campus. There are not many day students, and even fewer students ride bicycles to school on weekdays.

Many students cast curious and ambiguous glances at the two who rode their bikes to school together.

Wen Zhixia felt a little shy, but also somewhat enjoyed the way she was being looked at.

Just like her parents and Xiaoyan, if you tell her to her face that she has something going on with the Taoist priest, she won't admit it; but if you go along with her and say that there's nothing between her and the Taoist priest, she won't be happy. In short, she's very conflicted.

"arrive."

Chen Shi'an squeezed the brakes and brought the bicycle to a stop.

As Wen Zhixia was supporting his waist, preparing to get out of the back seat, her gaze suddenly sharpened—

She saw Lin Mengqiu walking towards her from not far away.

Wen Zhixia reacted quickly. The moment she saw Lin Mengqiu, she stopped getting out of the car and instead tightened her grip on Chen Shi'an's waist. She pressed her legs against the pedals and pressed her petite body closer to Chen Shi'an's back.

When she looked up at her again, Wen Zhixia slightly raised her chin, her jawline forming a smug curve.

“××××××!”

Shameless!!

Lin Mengqiu's small hands, tucked into the pocket of her school uniform jacket, were clenched so tightly that the veins on them were about to bulge.

She had just seen Wen Zhixia's post on WeChat Moments while walking over, but she never expected to stumble upon a live broadcast.

She originally intended to pretend she didn't see it.

But those dead eyes just wouldn't stay under control.

Not only did he insist on looking at the two of them, but his gaze was also fixed on the hands that Fanren Chan was deliberately showing off, which were resting on Chen Shi'an's waist.

If gazes could materialize, Wen Zhixia's little hands would have been riddled with holes from her stare long ago...

Lin Mengqiu took a deep breath, her small fists clenched tightly in her pocket, but her face remained calm and unmoved.

Wen Zhixia was clearly trying to show off and annoy her, and she was determined not to comply with this annoying cicada's wishes.

With strong willpower, Lin Mengqiu managed to shift her gaze from the hands around Chen Shi'an's waist to his face, completely ignoring Wen Zhixia sitting behind him out of the corner of her eye.

Wen Zhixia raised an eyebrow; how could she not see that this ice-cold spirit was putting on a brave face?

Let's see how long you can hold out.

Wen Zhixia swung her legs, hugged Chen Shi'an's waist, and refused to get off the back seat of the car.

"Class monitor? What a coincidence."

Upon seeing Lin Mengqiu, Chen Shi'an naturally greeted her.

"Ah."

As they were talking, Lin Mengqiu had already walked up to the two of them.

The two girls had been engaged in a battle of wits on social media these past few days, each aware of the other's hidden thoughts. Yet, now that they were face to face, they tacitly avoided mentioning those secrets, as if they hadn't seen each other's posts and had already blocked each other.

Chen Shi'an had no idea about the two girls' social media posts. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two girls seemed a bit strange, he couldn't figure out what was wrong for the time being.

Seeing that Lin Mengqiu was still pretending to be nonchalant, Wen Zhixia, who was currently in a favorable position, became even more composed. She remained calm and composed, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved up. She tightened her grip on Chen Shi'an's waist, causing a few shallow wrinkles to appear on his school uniform.

“××××××!”

Lin Mengqiu was furious with her, wishing she could just grab the annoying cicada and pluck it off. The school gate, with its many people coming and going, wasn't the place to talk, so Lin Mengqiu initially planned to avoid her and let her have her turn first. However, as she passed by their car, she couldn't help but pause.

"You're not allowed to ride bikes in the school, why aren't you getting off and pushing your bike?" Lin Mengqiu said to Chen Shi'an.

"I was just about to get off the bus."

After Chen Shi'an finished speaking, he noticed that the small hands around his waist showed no sign of letting go, so he turned his head back.

"Little cicada, aren't you getting off the bus yet?"

"Okay~"

Wen Zhixia didn't hold back. She acted generously, let go of his waist, and tiptoed out of the car.

After getting off, she swayed slightly and adjusted the straps of her backpack.

Chen Shi'an also got off the bicycle. He stood on the left side of the bicycle, with his hands outstretched to hold the handlebars.

Wen Zhixia naturally stood on his side and stayed by his side.

Lin Mengqiu stood alone on the right, separated by the bicycle.

Position was irrelevant; seeing the annoying cicada finally get out of Chen Shi'an's car, Lin Mengqiu felt much better.

Chen Shi'an pushed his bicycle and walked into the school with the two girls.

The school has designated bicycle parking sheds, located near the walls on both sides of the school gate.

Chen Shi'an glanced around and chose the right parking shed, which was closer to the teaching building, so he turned the car right in the direction of Lin Mengqiu.

Wen Zhixia naturally followed him to park his bicycle.

To Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia's surprise, Lin Mengqiu, who always kept to herself, did not go straight back to the classroom. Instead, she turned right and came to the parking shed, seemingly waiting for Chen Shi'an to park his car.

"Hey, isn't the class monitor going back to the classroom first? Don't wait for me."

"...We'll sit together when we go back."

Lin Mengqiu used what didn't seem like a reason as a reason to wait for him.

But to Wen Zhixia, it sounded like blatant showing off.

She felt like she could hear the Ice Cube's inner voice as it said those words—Did you hear that? The person you go to school and eat with every day will eventually have to come back and sit next to me!
Wen Zhixia puffed out her cheeks, opened her schoolbag, took out the folding fan, opened it with a whoosh, and started fanning herself vigorously.

Lin Mengqiu's gaze narrowed slightly. She didn't want to look, but those dead eyes just couldn't help looking at her fan.

This is the gift that Annoying Cicada posted on her WeChat Moments, a gift from that stinky Taoist priest?
Why are you shaking it so fast! Slow down so I can see clearly!!

Noticing the occasional glances from the Ice Cube Spirit, Wen Zhixia felt quite smug.

Sure enough, the fan had a calming effect; after fanning herself a few times, she immediately felt less angry.

"Taoist priest, aren't you hot?"

"It's not hot."

"The fan you made has a strong breeze; it cools you down instantly with just one wave."

"That is."

Chen Shi'an turned to the two girls and said, "Wait here for me for a moment, I'll go put the car away."

"Remember to bring my milk tea."

Chen Shi'an pushed his bicycle to the parking shed to park it, while the two girls stood outside by themselves.

Wen Zhixia then belatedly noticed Lin Mengqiu's gaze and asked her frankly:
"Lin Mengqiu, are you hot? Would you like to borrow a fan to cool off? This fan has a very nice name, 'Tranquil Shake'~"

Who asked you what the name of this fan is!

If she had handed the fan over, Lin Mengqiu would have thought she genuinely wanted to lend it to her. But the way Fanren Chan held the fan tightly in her hand showed no sign of wanting to lend it to her.
Lin Mengqiu withdrew her gaze and refused to look at her fan again.

"You shake it yourself, I'm thin, I'm not afraid of the heat."

"...?"

Wen Zhixia almost jumped up in anger upon hearing this!

What do you mean? You're saying I'm fat! Where am I fat? Calling someone thin when they have no breasts, that's really something!
Wen Zhixia puffed out her chest and continued to fan herself to calm down: "Seeing your face so red, I thought you were hot."

Lin Mengqiu thought she had concealed her true feelings well, but when the other woman pointed it out, she felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.

"Then you must have misread it."

"Oh, I must have seen it wrong. I knew it. No one can get red temperature without doing anything."

"...Doesn't your face look red too?"

"Really? Because I'm hot. It's normal to blush when you're hot~"

“××××!”

Lin Mengqiu became even more popular.

This annoying cicada is quite the smooth talker, so Lin Mengqiu decided to ignore her and let her run wild.

On the other side, Chen Shi'an had already parked his bicycle in the parking shed. He walked over with a bag on his back and three cups of milk tea in his hand.

He opened the bag and said to the two girls:

"You can each choose a cup of milk tea made by Sister Wanyin."

Just as Lin Mengqiu was about to reach for a cup of milk tea, Wen Zhixia's voice rang out from the side.

She walked over, fanning herself, and first took out the cup of milk tea from her bag.

"Excuse me, this cup of Yunhua Yingxue is mine."

"..."

Lin Mengqiu withdrew her hand, and decided not to choose the remaining two cups of milk tea.

"Isn't the class monitor going to take it?"

"I'll get it when I get back to the classroom. Can you help me carry it back?"

"Okay, I'll get it for you when I get back."

One of the three cups of milk tea was taken out, leaving the other two cups side by side.

Wen Zhixia waved her fan vigorously.
