During the days of review, Xia Chuyi had the powerful learning tool of "space," but she still pretended every day in front of her classmates.
She reduced her extracurricular activities, visiting the library and the practice rooms etc.
As a result, probably because she pretended too well, her buddies from dorm 201 were all especially excited and proactive in asking Professor Bao for leave on her behalfâsince in their eyes, she was still Professor Baoâs assistant.
Consequently, it seemed that Professor Bao also remembered that on weekends, Xia Chuyi and their study tasks were naturally heavier, so he simply stopped her from going to learn embroidery with Gu Shengliang.
Since Professor Bao had stopped the lessons, her master and his wife naturally wouldnât allow her to help out at "Delicious Residence."
When Qian Qian and the others found out, it naturally turned into a situation where even "Youwei" wouldnât allow her to return.
"Chuyi, Iâll come over every few days to show you the accounts from the shop," Qian Qianqian said to Xia Chuyi, thumping her chest. "As for other matters, donât you trust me and Xing Mang?"
Xia Chuyi: ...
She trusted them, but she really didnât need to go into seclusion for intensive study!
However, in everyoneâs eyes, she was just a "poor student" who had fallen behind during midterms and needed high scores to ensure she didnât fail.
Sigh, Xia Chuyi somewhat regretted having brought up the topic of exam review with Jiang Shuqin in the first place.
Regret is something money canât buy.
Forget it, Xia Chuyi simply took advantage of the time to start studying the second half of the yearâs content in advance.
And truth be told, maybe because the study atmosphere during the review was incredibly good and she hadnât adapted to the "time difference" when entering and leaving her space, maintaining an intense study regime, she found that her studying was incredibly efficient.
This was an unexpected gain.
After more than a month of review, Chuyi almost completed all the courses for her sophomore year through self-study.
She mused that at this rate, she could very likely finish all her college credits next year.
The only thing was, she had to keep "acting" like she was diligently studying.
Of course, playing a year-long role in exchange for graduating two years early was something Xia Chuyi felt was worthwhile.
In the blink of an eye, finals arrived.
Before the exam, Xia Chuyi met her recently acknowledged brotherâOu Jun.
"Brother Ou, what brings you here?" Xia Chuyi was surprised to see him.
After all, she hadnât seen him at all during this period.
Well, she had seen very few people in general during this time.
There was no helping it, everyone was afraid of disturbing her review, so aside from delivering soup and meals, they seldom came to bother her.
Therefore, she was genuinely surprised to see Ou Jun now.
Ou Jun was holding a bag in his hand, looked at her, and smiled, "Are you still calling me Brother Ou?"
Ou Junâs tone was deliberately slightly dissatisfied.
"Brother," Xia Chuyi smiled and smoothly went along, "So Brother, what brings you to see me? Is there something you need?"
Ou Jun said, "Chuyi, you have exams coming up, and logically, I shouldnât be bothering you."
"However, I promised to give you a gift before, and I havenât delivered it yet."
He handed over the bag he was holding, "I thought about it for a long time and didnât know what to get you."
"âJiao Jiaoâ and Lianâer usually want things that, for some reason, I always felt you wouldnât like."
"So, I just randomly bought some stationery to give to you."
"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was momentarily surprised, "You came all this way just to bring me stationery?"
