Before the evening study session was over, Jiang Shuyi started packing her backpack, acting as if class had already ended.

Song Jinxi glanced at her watch.

"There are still eight minutes left, Jiang Shuyi." she whispered.

"Is it not okay for me to pack up early?" Jiang Shuyi replied, glancing at Song Jinxi with a hint of displeasure.

Seeing her like this, Song Jinxi couldn't help but start packing her own bag as well. She was someone who couldn't sit still.

"Oh, by the way, didn't our class get the highest average score in the grade for this exam?" Song Jinxi casually mentioned.

"...Oh."

Jiang Shuyi listened absentmindedly, organizing her coat and putting it on.

"So, for our class trip this weekend, Teacher Li also agreed to change the schedule from two days and one night to three days and two nights."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Shuyi listened without much reaction, casually sighing before taking out her scarf and tying it around her neck.

Alright, now she just needed to wait for Wen Yao to finish class.

Once everything was ready, Jiang Shuyi nodded.

"Are you that eager to see Wen Yao?" Song Jinxi asked quietly from behind Jiang Shuyi.

Jiang Shuyi instinctively nodded.

— Of course.

Today, the results were all out, so didn't she have serious matters to discuss with Wen Yao? she thought.

". . ." Song Jinxi looked at her and said nothing, turning to organize her own bag.

---

The class bell rang.

Jiang Shuyi immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and walked over to Wen Yao's desk.

Her eagerness was obvious.

Wen Yao was tidying up her desk, only glancing at her before putting on her jacket and quietly wrapping her scarf around her neck.

Jiang Shuyi looked at the scarf hanging around Wen Yao's neck and felt a momentary urge to look away.

". . ."

After thirty seconds, she finally expelled the memory of that night when she drunkenly called out 'wife' from her mind.

Wen Yao slung her backpack over her shoulder and looked back at Jiang Shuyi.

"Why is your face so red, Jiang Shuyi?" she asked, reaching out to touch Jiang Shuyi's forehead.

Her slightly cold fingers brought a bit of coolness to Jiang Shuyi's dazed mind, along with the sharp scent of roses.

Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao's face and pretended to be indifferent, clearing her throat.

"Oh, it's just that I'm wearing a coat, so it's normal for my face to be red."

"Is that so?" Wen Yao withdrew her hand and walked toward the door, "That's good."

Jiang Shuyi quickly followed, saying, "Your hands are so cold, Wen Yao."

"it's fine." Wen Yao replied without looking back.

As they reached the school gate, cars passed by them.

"By the way, Wen Yao, our class exam results are out."

Jiang Shuyi casually put her hands in her pockets.

"Mm." Wen Yao walked ahead without much reaction.

"My results are out too, and I personally think I did pretty well..." Jiang Shuyi lifted her head.

". . ."

Wen Yao didn't respond and continued walking in silence.

Jiang Shuyi watched as Wen Yao lowered her head and nonchalantly replied with an "mm," then continued, "Although I haven't seen the rankings yet, I should be at least mid-to-high level."

". . ."

Jiang Shuyi lowered her gaze, watching Wen Yao's indifferent expression, her disappointment hard to conceal.

Maybe Wen Yao didn't even remember.

"Wen Yao... what I mean is, I've improved, and I did quite well."

Jiang Shuyi looked at Wen Yao with some dissatisfaction, her tone full of hope.

"Oh," Wen Yao glanced at her, then nodded as usual, appearing distant and uninterested, "Is that so?"

Jiang Shuyi stared at Wen Yao in disbelief.

— I've made it so obvious, can this ice queen really not pick up on it?

— I want to go to the amusement park!

"Don't you remember?" Jiang Shuyi pouted, exhaling a puff of white breath.

"Remember what?"

Jiang Shuyi cleared her throat, "I mean, you promised to reward me for doing well on the exam, right?"

If hints don't work, then be direct.

Although she had never shamelessly asked for a reward like this, Jiang Shuyi felt this reward was worth it.

"Can't you come with me to the amusement park?"

". . ." Wen Yao looked at Jiang Shuyi coldly, as if recalling something.

"No." Her tone was icy.

... No?

"...Why not? I've improved so much."

Jiang Shuyi slumped her shoulders, standing in the middle of the road like a drenched puppy.

Wen Yao glanced at the distant streetlight, her tone calm and unhurried.

"For this level of exam, you should at least score above ninety in every subject to say you did well."

What kind of unreasonable 'expectation' is that?

Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

"Wen Yao."

To achieve her goal, Jiang Shuyi averted her gaze and awkwardly admitted, "You know my level."

"You can't impose your ridiculous standards on me."

"Is that so?" Wen Yao replied, "But I used that standard to define your 'doing well' back then."

Jiang Shuyi looked at her, feeling wronged to the point of tears.

Isn't this bullying?

Jiang Shuyi completely drooped her head, looking mournfully at the unyielding Omega.

A black car passed by Jiang Shuyi.

Wen Yao pulled Jiang Shuyi closer to her, looking at her sternly as if telling her to walk properly.

". . ."

"Oh... thank you." Jiang Shuyi came back to her senses.

She glanced at Wen Yao's hand holding her arm and frowned.

Wen Yao's fingers were red from exposure to the air, and it was somewhat painful to see.

Jiang Shuyi looked around and stopped in front of a convenience store. She tugged at Wen Yao, "Wait for me here."

Jiang Shuyi hurried into the store and took a bottle of hot drink from the warmer.

However, before she could close the door, she noticed Wen Yao's gaze fixed on the oden at the store entrance.

Jiang Shuyi silently put the drink back in the warmer.

She walked up to the oden and said to the clerk, "I'll take one of everything here, two cups please."

". . ." Wen Yao turned to look at her.

Jiang Shuyi touched her nose, feeling a bit sheepish.

"I'm a bit hungry."

The clerk quickly handed two cups of oden to Jiang Shuyi.

Jiang Shuyi took one and handed it to Wen Yao.

"Have some too."

Wen Yao paused for a moment, looking down with a stiff expression, "I don't need it."

"If you don't eat it, it'll go to waste." Jiang Shuyi firmly placed the cup in Wen Yao's hand.

". . ." Wen Yao looked at the oden forced into her hand, saying nothing.

As Jiang Shuyi walked down the road, she exhaled into the air, casually picking up a piece of crab roe lobster ball from the cup.

Jiang Shuyi stared at it in silence for a moment.

Actually, she was allergic to seafood.

So, she had to think carefully before eating anything with seafood in it.

However, the original owner didn't have any allergies, so she could eat without worry.

After eating a few pieces of oden, Jiang Shuyi glanced at Wen Yao beside her and began to chatter again.

"Wen Yao, that amusement park is really fun..."

Wen Yao lowered her eyes, looking at the cup in her hand, her tone cold,

"If you really want to go, you can go with someone else."

Jiang Shuyi paused, "Huh?"

"You have many friends, don't you?" Wen Yao glanced at Jiang Shuyi, then quietly looked at the oden in her hand.

"I don't mind if I'm not there." Wen Yao intended to walk ahead.

"I'm not going with anyone else."

Looking at Wen Yao's back, Jiang Shuyi said firmly.

Wen Yao's fingertips paused in the air.

She turned around, her eyes curious as they met Jiang Shuyi's.

"Why?"

Jiang Shuyi raised her head, her eyes filled with determination as she stubbornly looked at Wen Yao, "Isn't it obvious? I just want to go with you!"

Looking into the eyes of the Alpha in front of her, Wen Yao felt the warmth of the oden in her hand spreading to her palm.

"...Is that so."

Wen Yao's calm voice broke the silence.

She looked at Jiang Shuyi, her expression gentle, "Then are you willing to go to the amusement park with me only after you score above ninety in every subject?"

Seeing the teasing smile on Wen Yao's face, Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but nod dazedly.

"...Oh, okay."
