I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 56 He can definitely do it! I believe in him!

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were walking on the road. Perhaps because of the unpleasant thing that had just happened, they were both silent and did not say a word.

After a moment, Zhou Heng spoke first, asking, "What you just said... was it all true?"

Yin Mengran was slightly taken aback, thinking about what she had just said. Although she didn't know which sentence Zhou Heng was referring to,

But what she said was indeed true, so she nodded and replied:

"Well, really."

Zhou Heng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke:

"I won't let you die with him. If he dares to offend you again, just tell me and I'll help you deal with it. Don't do anything foolish."

"what..."

Yin Mengran blinked, somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Zhou Heng to say such a thing. If she hadn't been overthinking it...

So...it must be because they're worried about themselves, right?

In other words, Zhou Heng still holds a certain place for her... otherwise, he wouldn't have cared, and he wouldn't have said such a thing...

Thinking of this, Yin Mengran couldn't help but want to smile.

She was just angry at the time, so what she said was a bit exaggerated. She herself didn't want to trade her life for Lu Yunshuo's life; that would be too much of a waste.

"Mmm Good!"

She readily agreed, her voice already brimming with obvious joy.

She hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain, receiving such an attitude from Zhou Heng, and the anger she felt towards Lu Yunshuo that morning instantly vanished.

The two went to school together. As soon as they entered the classroom, Zhou Heng sensed the atmosphere of an upcoming exam.

This time of day is usually quite lively; some people are chatting, some are playing around, and some are even copying homework.

But today was unusually quiet; most people were making the most of their remaining time to study, hoping to review as much as possible.

Those few who didn't care had no one to talk to and simply slept quietly.

In the past, Zhou Heng completely disregarded this atmosphere. When he came here, he would join the group sleeping or do whatever he was supposed to do, but he wouldn't study.

But today, he was also caught up in this atmosphere, felt the tension before the exam, and wanted to sit down and start reviewing as soon as possible.

Who can guarantee that this little bit of review time in the morning won't boost their score?

As soon as Zhou Heng sat down, Tang Zhi, who was sitting at the same table, asked in a low voice:

"Were you followed or had any conflicts when you came here this morning?"

Zhou Heng was somewhat surprised and looked at her, asking, "How did you know?"

"Lu Yunshuo, right? I guessed it right away. I felt the same way last night."

"last night?"

Zhou Heng was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized what was going on.

It seems that besides causing trouble for them, Lu Yunshuo also caused trouble for Tang Zhi last night.

But he didn't even need to ask; he already knew the outcome.

If someone could easily gain the upper hand in a contest with Tang Zhi, he'd like to meet that person and perhaps learn a few moves from them.

However, this person is definitely not Lu Yunshuo. If Lu Yunshuo were to cause trouble for Tang Zhi, he would be the one who suffers.

Zhou Heng doesn't have time for those things right now; studying is definitely the most important thing.

The monthly exams started soon. Although there are many of these exams in the senior year of high school, they can clearly show each student's recent learning progress, keeping them in this state until the college entrance examination. They must not slack off.

After entering the examination room, Zhou Heng relaxed a bit. He knew that only by remaining calm and not being nervous could he perform at his best.

For Zhou Heng, this was a battle of life and death.

For Yin Mengran, her grade ranking wasn't that important anymore...

This was something that should have made parents proud and earned them praise.

Now, there is no one left to be proud of, and no one will praise or reward me for my good grades.

So she quickly finished the test, skipping even the step of checking it, and started thinking about other things.

Although she comforted Zhou Heng before the exam, she was actually very worried about him.

I'm worried he's not in good shape, worried he'll encounter problems he can't solve, worried he'll break down under pressure...

"I need to make him some nutritious food tonight... to help him recover properly... I feel like he's been staying up too late lately."

"And he needs to get enough rest; we can't let it be like last night..."

"He can definitely do it... Yes! He can definitely do it! I believe in him!"

Yin Mengran nodded, her thoughts drifting far away, still thinking about Zhou Heng.

She may not have realized that, without her noticing, Zhou Heng had become more important to her than herself.

"Ahem! Young man, please look at your exam paper!"

Reminded by the proctor, Yin Mengran realized what had happened and lowered her head in embarrassment.

At the back of the same examination room, Tong Yining looked at Yin Mengran in front of her, lost in thought.

In the past, when they were taking the exam in the same room, they would definitely look at each other from time to time and exchange knowing smiles.

But now, she could no longer see Yin Mengran's gaze directed at her.

Just like Zhou Heng now, he will never look at her again.

The day's exams passed quickly, and after returning to the classroom, everyone packed their things and prepared to go home.

There's another exam the next day, and after that tomorrow, the results should be released in a few days.

After school, Liang Jiaxiang came to Lu Yunshuo's desk. Looking at the empty seat in front of him, he had a deep look in his eyes, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

At this moment, Kong Yue walked over, patted Liang Jiaxiang's arm, and asked:

"Where's Lu Yunshuo? He didn't come to the exam today?"

Liang Jiaxiang exhaled heavily and nodded in response, "Yeah, and I doubt he'll come tomorrow either."

"Huh? What happened? Did something happen to him?"

Kong Yue frowned slightly, somewhat incredulous.

Liang Jiaxiang did not answer Kong Yue's question, but the expression on his face seemed to say everything.

Kong Yue didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know what had happened to Lu Yunshuo, but it seemed to be quite serious.

Yin Mengran waited at the school gate for Zhou Heng to come out so they could go home together.

After a while, she saw Tang Zhi come out first.

Upon seeing Yin Mengran, Tang Zhi took the initiative to approach her and ask, "Are you waiting for Zhou Heng?"

"Hmm, how did you do on the exam? No... I shouldn't ask you that. It must have been very easy for you."

Yin Mengran chuckled. Although she was the top student in the class, she was only at the top in academics. In terms of intelligence, she felt that she was far inferior to Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi nodded and said, "Well, it's alright. I didn't see any difficult questions, but whether I can answer them correctly is another matter."

Just as the two were chatting, Zhou Heng also came out, but his expression was somewhat different from Tang Zhi's calm and collected demeanor.

He looked worried and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Will I be able to get that last question right? Even if I get it wrong, it'll be okay, right? I should get enough points..."
