After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

There were two proctors; one was explaining the exam requirements from the podium, while the other had already begun distributing the exam papers.

What a coincidence! When Bai Yu was looking for her seat, she discovered that she and Su Rongxue were in the same exam room, and even sat in front of and behind each other.

Su Rongxue sat in front of him, and he sat behind her.

In that instant, Bai Yu felt that even if there were any questions she couldn't answer, she could still rely on Su Rongxue. It was as if the right time, place, and people had all come together for her.

Since her rebirth, Bai Yu had never felt that she was so lucky.

When the exam started, and I looked at the questions, wow, there's a saying that goes something like this: I didn't review anything that was going to be on the exam, but I reviewed a ton of things that weren't going to be on it.

Although Bai Yu is not quite at that level, the amount of material she reviewed is disproportionate to the amount she didn't.

The main problem was the limited review time; even with Su Rongxue's help, there were still many knowledge points that she hadn't reviewed.

After all, Bai Yu needs to review, and it should be said that she needs to study not just one or two subjects, but all the courses of the entire semester.

Who told her to be so overconfident and not study at all? She slept and played games in class, and she slept and played games during evening self-study. Now look what's happened! Looking at the questions, Bai Yu even feels like she might fail the course.

Looking up at Su Rongxue in front of her, Bai Yu hesitated for a long time before a wicked idea began to form in her mind: to have Su Rongxue pass on the answer to her.

Bai Yu gently tugged at Su Rongxue's hair and whispered.

"Su Rongxue, show me the answer later."

Upon hearing these words, Su Rongxue's petite body visibly trembled, indicating that she was somewhat nervous.

After all, Bai Yu was cheating. Su Rongxue had never cheated before, not to mention that she had always been a good student and cheating was completely unnecessary for her.

When you asked Su Rongxue if she was willing to help Bai Yu, such an excessive request, the girl didn't seem to refuse.

The word "宠" (pamper/favor) can be used instead.

After all, Su Rongxue had said that she wanted to raise Bai Yu, and raising her was not just about keeping her alive; it meant spoiling her.

Spoiling is originally a good word, but it can turn bad if used excessively.

For example, Su Rongxue is currently indulging Bai Yu's cheating, which is called condoning and becoming an accomplice.

The exam lasted an hour. Bai Yu completed all the questions she knew how to answer, and planned to use the last half hour to scramble for the ones she didn't know.

Of course, Bai Yu didn't really care whether Su Rongxue gave an answer or not, since such behavior was very dangerous.

Moreover, Su Rongxue is a timid girl. She can only peek at the test paper by shifting her body. She can only see as much as she can. Seeing anything is a skill in itself.

Unfortunately, Bai Yu underestimated Su Rongxue. This girl is indeed timid, but that doesn't mean she's really afraid to give Bai Yu an answer.

When the exam bell rang for the last half hour, Su Rongxue took advantage of the invigilator's inattention and secretly placed a small piece of paper on Bai Yu's desk with her clenched fist.

This girl is a lifesaver! Bai Yu was almost moved to tears.

If I don't give myself an answer, I'm destined to fail this subject.

Moved, Bai Yu opened the slip of paper and wrote down the answers one by one according to the question numbers.

Good heavens! Bai Yu discovered that Su Rongxue had already written out all the answers on the entire exam paper. As expected of Su Rongxue, she went to such lengths to help him cheat. What a good friend! He absolutely had to treat her to a big meal after the exam. Chapter 188: What's going on here? (Donation +1)

Bai Yu's behavior is highly inappropriate. Su Rongxue is clearly a very well-behaved girl, and he's letting her help him cheat; that's just too wicked.

After this exam, Bai Yu was full of confidence. After all, this exam was the most difficult, and thanks to Su Rongxue's answers, she was in good shape now.

As for the subsequent exams, Bai Yu had to thank Su Rongxue for her careful guidance. While she couldn't say she got high scores, she was sure she wouldn't fail.

However, the final exams were over in two or three days, and he hadn't figured out how to treat Su Rongxue to a nice meal when the counselor called them both to the office.

Not to mention Su Rongxue, this well-behaved girl, was completely bewildered; even Bai Yu was utterly confused.

The two entered the office together. Bai Yu stood in front of the counselor, while Su Rongxue hid behind Bai Yu, as if Bai Yu would protect her in everything. She really gave off a feeling of being a little bird clinging to someone.

Do you two know why I'm looking for you?

The counselor pushed up his newly changed gold-rimmed glasses, and his serious attitude told Bai Yu that it was definitely not a good thing.

"do not know."

Bai Yu shook her head to indicate that she didn't know, and Su Rongxue quickly followed suit.

The counselor's next words told Bai Yu what it was about.

"The results of the first exam are out, and you both did very well. However, you were sitting next to each other during the exam. It's fine to help each other out in normal times, but can you really help each other out during an exam?"

Once the counselor uttered those words, how could Bai Yu not know what was going on?

Even if one roughly knows what happened, a person's subconscious reaction is to ask questions and pretend, and Bai Yu was no exception.

What's wrong with sitting in front of and behind each other?

“Sitting together isn’t a problem, but your scores are very similar, and your mistakes are also similar. The examiners became suspicious, reviewed the surveillance footage, and found that you were cheating. What do you say to that?”

Alright, now that everything is out in the open, Bai Yu's reaction hasn't really changed, but Su Rongxue nervously reached out and grabbed Bai Yu's sleeve.

Most people wouldn't admit to cheating in this situation, but Bai Yu knew that by investigating the surveillance footage, he could find him and Su Rongxue, and the evidence was definitely solid. Making excuses would only cause more trouble, so it was better to admit it outright.

"Okay, teacher, actually I cheated. You know how I usually behave, and I accept the school's punishment. But I have to say something for Su Rongxue. She is the victim. I deliberately copied her test paper!"

Bai Yu knew it was her fault, and in order not to implicate Su Rongxue, she had to take the initiative to admit her mistake and distance herself from Su Rongxue.

However, his behavior made Su Rongxue feel a little guilty. She was about to stand up and plead for Bai Yu when he gently stopped her with his hand.

"The school's original plan was either for both of you to have your grades canceled and retake the exams, with the school giving you a demerit, or for one of you to admit your mistake and only one of you to be punished. Bai Yu, I'm glad you're a responsible man. Your exam results will be canceled, and you'll have to retake the exams at the start of the next semester. As for the demerit, we'll see if it gets removed before graduation, depending on your performance."

After saying that, the counselor stopped wasting words with Bai Yu, waved his hand to signal him to leave first, and let Su Rongxue stay.

Seeing this, Bai Yu had no choice but to leave first, but she waited outside the office door after she went out.

At this very moment, Su Rongxue was being criticized by her counselor.

"Su Rongxue, are you really going to think the surveillance cameras didn't see you helping Bai Yu cheat? If it weren't for your excellent performance, both of you would be disqualified from the exam and given a demerit, understand?"

Listening to the counselor's criticism, Su Rongxue simply lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes, and remained silent.

Seeing that Su Rongxue remained silent, the counselor's criticism was far from over.

“All the teachers have reported to me about Bai Yu’s usual behavior. He doesn’t pay attention in class and only knows how to play. What university requires is self-discipline. If you help a student who doesn’t even have the most basic self-discipline, you’re only hurting yourself, do you know that?”

Regarding this statement, Su Rongxue had previously admitted that Bai Yu did not pay attention in class and only knew how to play.

However, Su Rongxue denied that the counselor was clearly biased.

"No, Bai Yu studied very hard for a month. I didn't harm myself or help him in any way. He's not that bad."

Is this considered talking back? Perhaps for Su Rongxue's personality, it's quite a sharp retort.

However, the counselor did have some prejudice against Bai Yu.

After all, Beicheng University is full of top students. It was really a headache for them to be assigned to Bai Yu's class because he was a playful and unmotivated student. It was impossible for him not to have some prejudice after receiving so many reports from teachers.

"Whether he's harming you or not, you're an adult and you know that in your heart. He's definitely not bad. Which student who can get into Beicheng University is a bad student? It's just that his current performance is disappointing to me. Go out, and make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again, understand?"

Hearing this, Su Rongxue originally wanted to say something for Bai Yu, but the counselor didn't seem to want to listen and turned to get water.

So Su Rongxue turned around and walked out of the office on her own.

As soon as she stepped out of the office, she saw Bai Yu standing in the corridor, waiting for her.

The little girl, who was already feeling down because of the counselor's prejudice against Bai Yu, became even more dejected.

"Bai Yu?"

Hearing Su Rongxue call her name, Bai Yu waved to her, signaling her to come over and leave together.

I was so sure I'd pass this exam, but I got caught cheating. It's really frustrating.

However, Bai Yu also knew that it was his fault that Su Rongxue was also criticized, so as compensation, he should treat this girl to a meal, right?

She quickly stepped forward and came to Bai Yu's side, weakly offering a strange thank you.

"Thank you."

Bai Yu was completely bewildered by this "thank you".

"What are you thanking me for?"

"N-nothing..."

Seeing Bai Yu's slightly furrowed brows, Su Rongxue was originally grateful to Bai Yu for taking the blame for her, but Bai Yu's furrowed brows startled her so much that she immediately changed her words to "it's nothing".

"No need to thank me, it's nothing. Let's go. I almost made you lose your exam results and get a demerit too. As compensation, I'll treat you to dinner."

Upon hearing this, Su Rongxue immediately felt guilty and quickly tugged at Bai Yu's clothes, saying...

"I'm sorry, are you...are you feeling very sad right now?"

Bai Yu: ? ? ?

Bai Yu was completely baffled by this question. What the heck? Why was she sad?

"Huh? What am I sad about?"

"If my exam results are canceled and I'm punished, will you hate me?"

???

Seeing Su Rongxue's eyes getting redder and redder as she spoke, was it herself who was sad or this girl who was sad?

And why is this question so inexplicable? It might be a little upsetting to have my exam results canceled, but what's with the "I hate her" part?

"Why would I hate you? Hey, don't cry, hey~"

Bai Yu really couldn't take it anymore. She had no idea why Su Rongxue was about to cry.

Chapter 189 This Damn Tenderness

Seeing Su Rongxue's eyes reddening and on the verge of tears, Bai Yu panicked and quickly reached out to wipe away the girl's tears, praising and coaxing her.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you'll look ugly if you cry. I'll buy you your favorite milk tea, okay? It's the matcha flavor, or I'll treat you to an ice cream cone. Eating an ice cream cone in winter has a special flavor, okay?"

Bai Yu was truly panicked. After all, this was a school teaching building corridor, and while there were undoubtedly many teachers and students coming and going, there were certainly quite a few.

Su Rongxue is a very likable girl. If she cries like this, everyone will think that they have done something to her!

So in a moment of panic, Bai Yu instinctively softened her tone when trying to comfort her.
