Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

Melancholy Sweetie: [No.]

Melancholy Sweetie: [Image of utter despair]

Please strengthen Xi Shi's (a character in the story): 【Then copy it for me when you're done.】

Melancholy Sweetie: [I couldn't even pass math, and you dare to copy my answers?]

Please strengthen Xi Shi's (a character in the novel): 【I dare! I got nine points on my math final exam last time.】

Melancholy Sweetie: [...]

Lin Wu had nothing to say.

A nine-point scorer is indeed not afraid.

Melancholy Sweetie: [How did you get those nine points?]

Please strengthen Xi Shi's abilities: [Unlucky, I only guessed one correct answer on the multiple-choice questions.]

Melancholy Sweetie: [...]

Melancholy Sweetie: [I'll send it to you when I'm done writing it.]

Please strengthen Xi Shi's abilities: [Yay, hehe, thank you Lin Wu.]

Please give Xi Shi a boost: [You're the first person willing to let me copy their homework.]

Lin Wu coughed, sent Shen Minglu an emoji, and continued working on her problems.

Diligence, patience, focus, hard work...

Unable to endure the discomfort any longer, Lin Wu leaned back, and the expensive chair adjusted its angle automatically as she moved.

Lin Wu lay down comfortably, opened her phone, scrolled through the list, and paused for a moment over the original penguin avatar.

Forget it.

She exited again and opened the forum. She was shocked when she opened it.

99+ private messages.

No, what heinous thing did she post? Why is it all so lively?

Lin Wu opened her private messages, and her eyes were assaulted by a screen full of messages from despicable women and disgusting women.

"..."

Lin Wu scrolled through her notes; the comment she left last time that belittled Xie Yanhuai had angered Xie Yanhuai's female fans.

Wow.

Lin Wu scrolled through the comments without expression, switched to battle mode, and replied with two words to each one.

—A rebound.

Half an hour passed before she finished replying.

Lin Wu hesitated for a long time, but finally chose the original penguin avatar.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Are you there?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [Let me look at the physics and math exam papers.]

X didn't reply.

Lin Wu waited patiently for a while, then shamelessly approached the class's academic representative.

The class monitor is a boy who loves to wear plaid shirts and glasses; he's exceptionally well-behaved and honest.

Lazy Salty Fish: [Sorry, Lin Wu, I went to a sharing session with foreign scholars with my parents today, and I haven't done my homework yet.]

Melancholy Sweetie: [Okay.]

Lin Wu clicked his tongue; this was truly adding insult to injury.

-

"Why haven't you replied to my messages yet?"

Xia Ruoruo frowned, looking at the screen full of green. She had been messaging Xie Yanhuai since school ended, but he hadn't replied.

She threw her phone away, feeling wronged.

He picked up the empty water glass on the table, opened the door to pour some water, and bumped into Xu Jingwang who was returning from outside.

Their eyes met, and Xu Jingwang quickly looked away.

Although they had been siblings for nearly ten years, they were not close to each other.

To be precise, Xia Ruoruo was always very friendly and especially wanted to get along well with Xu Jingwang, but Xu Jingwang was always cold towards her.

"……elder brother."

Xia Ruoruo called out to him.

Xu Jingwang stopped in his tracks and asked expressionlessly, "What is it?"

The living room was a bit crowded. He was very tall, and his naturally hanging hands had beautiful knuckles, like newly sprouted bamboo. When he turned slightly and looked at her without much expression, Xia Ruoruo felt a sense of dread.

It didn't exist before.

Although they weren't close and their relationship was rather distant, at least they didn't give Xia Ruoruo the same sense of oppression she felt now.

Just like someone in a high position.

……

How could that be?

Xia Ruoruo forced a smile. "I'm just curious why Lin Wu brought you a small cake this morning."

Xu Jing asked in a nonchalant voice, "What's it to you?"

"Brother, I was just asking." She pouted, her big, dark eyes filled with grievance. Anyone else standing in front of her would have their heart softened by those pitiful, expressive eyes.

Xu Jingwang knew this person's true colors all too well.

He showed no pity whatsoever. "You say it's nothing, but you clearly care a lot."

She never expected Xu Jingwang to be so blunt. Suddenly having her secret exposed, Xia Ruoruo's face flushed uncontrollably.

As the two stood still, Xu Pan pushed open the door and came in, carrying a bag of discounted fruits and vegetables from the supermarket. She paused for a moment upon seeing the scene, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ruoruo sobbed, as if she had been bullied and had met her parents, and threw herself into Xu Pan's arms.

"Mom, my brother was really fierce just now."

Xu Pan quickly raised her other hand and patted Xia Ruoruo's shoulder. "It's okay, Ruoruo. Xiao Wang is a bit cold-hearted. He's always been like this, you know that, right?"

Xu Jingwang looked at the two people snuggling together, as if they were a mother and daughter. He tugged at the corner of his lips and said, "I'm going inside to do my homework."

Xu Pan quickly replied, "Okay, okay."

Xu Jingwang pushed open the door and sat down at his desk. He unzipped his backpack, took out a math test paper that he had only half-finished, and his phone was already dead.

He found the charger and plugged in his phone.

I only picked up my phone after finishing a whole set of math problems, and just then I saw a message from Melancholy Sweetie.

"..."

Seventeen-year-old Lin Wu must really hate him.

As a result, I asked him to copy my homework yesterday.

I brought him a small cake in the morning, and then I made a point of explaining things to him in the afternoon.

Xu Jingwang tapped his phone case habitually, and two seconds later, he took a picture of the math test paper and sent it to Melancholy Sweetie.

At that moment, Lin Wu was flipping through the formulas and theorems in her textbook with a pale face.

She hadn't studied math for four years, and she had forgotten all the problems she used to know.

Her phone vibrated twice, and she instinctively opened it to see a message from X.

Lin Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately clicked on it. There were two photos, which captured the entire math test paper exactly as it was.

Melancholy Sweetheart: [I'm so touched, thank you.]

Lin Wu used to look at Xie Yanhuai's homework, but Xie Yanhuai always had to put on airs and pretend for a long time before showing it to her.

In comparison, Xu Jingwang is simply a super, super good person.

X: [You're welcome.]

X: [I haven't finished the physics assignment yet, I'll send it to you when I'm done.]

Melancholy Sweetheart: [Ah, thank you.]

At that moment, Lin Wu's conscience was silently condemned.

Lin Wu, Lin Wu, you used to bully him.

How could you bear to let such a top student let you copy their homework without saying a word?

Lin Wu quickly finished copying and gave the answer key to Shen Mingluo.

The other party was very touched.

After copying the math homework, while waiting for the physics homework, Lin Wu buried herself in her English homework and finished it.

She rested her chin on her hand and scrolled through short videos. A local recommendation showed her a video of her changing clothes.

The blogger is quite pretty; in the last picture, she's wearing a red Warring States period robe and carrying a sword.

The more Lin Wu looked at the blogger, the more familiar he became.
