Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

Time slipped away quietly amidst the rustling of pens on exam papers; the days of senior year were intense yet fulfilling.

Chen Su buried himself in a sea of ​​questions, while Shen Que continued to struggle with those difficult classical Chinese texts.

Chen Su still makes time to visit Xiao Ju at Shen Que's house. They still study together every day, discuss problems, and share their ideas.

The students gradually got used to the scene, and their initial shock and gossip subsided.

After observing them for a while, they found that the two seemed to be just study partners, and apart from academic exchanges, there were no other intimate or inappropriate behaviors.

Before we knew it, the first monthly exam after the start of the school year arrived.

On the day the results were announced, a subtle tension and anticipation filled the classroom.

Chen Su's performance was as stable as ever. Although she made a small mistake in math calculation due to carelessness and lost a few points, which was worse than usual, her total score still ranked among the top three in the class and the top ten in the grade.

This was normal for her and didn't cause much of a stir.

What truly shocked the entire class was Shen Que's grades.

He not only took all the exams, but also ranked 17th in his class and among the top 50 in his grade!

What's particularly striking is his astonishingly high scores in math and English, almost perfect, with top marks in physics and chemistry as well. His only weakness was Chinese, where he only scored 82, but even that was enough to leave everyone speechless.

"Holy crap... Shen Que? 17th place?"

"Am I seeing things? His Chinese score is only 82?"

"His math, physics, and chemistry scores... were almost perfect..."

A murmur of barely suppressed discussion erupted in the classroom.

Someone muttered quietly, "Could it be... cheating?"

Someone immediately retorted, "Come on, he's not that kind of person. With his personality, he'd rather hand in a blank paper than cheat."

Some classmates who knew the situation sighed, "What's so strange about that? Shen Que originally got in with high scores, and his foundation in math, physics, and chemistry has always been excellent. It's just that he gave up on himself and stopped studying later for some reason."

Looking at Shen Que's name and the score on the report card, Chen Su felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her.

She turned her head and looked at the person in the back row who seemed completely unconcerned about their grades and was engrossed in their phone. Her eyes curved into crescents, and she playfully made a microphone gesture with her hand, leaning closer to whisper, "Let's interview Shen Que. How do you feel about achieving such a remarkable improvement in your first monthly exam?"

Shen Que raised his head, met her bright eyes, a slight smile curving his lips, and said in a calm tone, "So-so."

He, however, casually picked up Chen Su's math answer sheet from the table, glanced at it, pointed to a spot where points had been deducted, and frowned slightly: "You can lose points in a place like this?"

She touched her cheek sheepishly, feeling somewhat ashamed: "I know, I know, I'll definitely check carefully next time and won't make such a silly mistake again."

After school, Chen Su originally planned to go to the villa with Shen Que to see Xiao Ju, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and she was thinking about the little guy.

However, Grandma called and asked her to stop by the market to buy some ingredients for dinner.

She had no choice but to give up the idea and said to Shen Que with some regret, "I can't go today, Grandma asked me to buy groceries. Take a few more pictures of Little Orange when you get back and show them to me, tell it that its mother misses it very much."

Upon hearing this, Shen Que simply gave a faint "hmm" in agreement.

When Chen Su got home that evening, she reported her monthly exam results to her grandmother. Upon hearing the total score and ranking, her grandmother didn't show much joy. Instead, she frowned slightly, her tone filled with concern and a barely perceptible scrutiny, and asked, "Su Su, why did your math score drop?"

Chen Su's heart skipped a beat.

In the past, Grandma never asked about these specific details, only cared about the overall ranking, and always trusted her completely.

This time, however, the mathematical error was specifically pointed out.

She understood that this was not simply about caring about grades.

She answered truthfully, "I was careless on one question and made a calculation error. I won't do it again next time."

Grandma didn't say anything more, but just looked at her silently for a while. Chen Su could read the worry and scrutiny in her eyes.

Grandma was afraid that her contact with Shen Que would affect her studies, but she couldn't say it outright, so she could only hint at it indirectly in this way.

That evening, she received a photo of a small orange from Shen Que.

The little orange cat in the photo has indeed grown a lot, with a chubby face, and is having a great time playing with a ball of yarn.

The two chatted briefly through the screen. Before going to sleep, Chen Su sent him a message: "Good night, get some rest."

After a while, the phone screen lit up, and Shen Que replied with two words: 【Goodnight】

After this monthly exam, her grandmother became noticeably stricter in "supervising" her.

She started frequently asking Chen Su to buy things on her way home from school. Whenever Chen Su didn't get home by the designated time, the phone would ring on time, asking about her whereabouts.

One day after school, Chen Su and Shen Que walked out of the school gate side by side and saw their grandmother standing at the school gate waiting for them in the distance.

Grandma's gaze swept across the crowd and landed precisely on her and Shen Que.

Chen Su's heart tightened. Before she could say anything, she quickly ran over, took her grandmother's arm, and soothed her in a lighthearted tone, "Grandma, why did you come? Let's go home quickly."

Taking advantage of the moment she turned around, she quickly shook her head at Shen Que, who was standing still, and winked at him, signaling him not to come over and not to worry about her.

Shen Que took in everything, his face expressionless, simply watching them walk away.

Afterwards, Chen Su took the opportunity to explain to him, her tone deliberately relaxed: "I didn't do well on my math test last time, and Grandma was a little worried that I was slacking off, so she's keeping a close eye on my studies now."

She didn't mention a word about her grandmother's real worries.

Shen Que listened, glanced at her with his eyelids, and didn't say anything, making it impossible to tell whether he believed her or not.

Since then, Grandma has been appearing at the school gate more often.

This method was clearly very effective; Chen Su and Shen Que had very few opportunities to walk home from school together, let alone go to his house to see the cat.

The two continued to communicate in the classroom, but only about exercises and textbooks. The time they spent alone together after school, walking side by side and chatting occasionally, seemed to have been put on pause.

Finally, one day after school, Chen Su looked around at the school gate but didn't see her grandmother. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a small sense of joy welled up inside her.

She walked quickly to Shen Que's side and whispered, "Shen Que, Grandma didn't come today! Shall I go to your house to see Xiao Ju? Just for a little while, I'll go see her and then go back, otherwise the little one will really forget about me."

She hadn't seen Little Orange for several weeks and missed the fluffy little guy.

Shen Que stopped and looked down at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded and uttered two words: "Whatever you want."

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two as they walked side by side on the road leading to the villa. The golden afterglow bathed them, carrying the coolness of early autumn and a long-lost sense of relaxation.
