Chapter 315, Holidays are coming

12 month 13 day.

Up to now, the two-day exam has finally ended, and Zhuo feels completely liberated.

To be honest, compared to normal classes, the time spent facing the desk during the exam was shorter, so it was actually easier. However, due to the moderate tension this time, Zhuo still felt a little stressed.

As for why there was a sense of tension - it was naturally because of the conditions given by Zero before.

——"Yes, Sa Chiko told me to keep an eye on you. If you make it into the top 100 in the midterm exam, I'll agree to whatever you say."

A lot of things happened during the period leading up to the exam, and to sum it up, Zhuo finally got together with Ling. He temporarily put aside the heat of this matter, but he didn't forget it. Even without asking, I know that Ling will definitely remember this matter, or in other words, she is the one who values ​​promises the most.

Previously, Zhuo was just studying normally relying on the foundation he had gained from his previous life, and it could even be said that he was slacking off, and he barely maintained a mid-level level.

I originally planned to spend more time on studying this time, but I didn't succeed.

Even so, Zhuo concentrated on preparing for the exam before the exam. If Zhuo wanted to become a reliable man, he couldn't live like before. The effect of cramming might not be obvious, but it was not a reason to give up.

Although it was not much, he had already tried his best, and the exam was a good chance to test Zhuo's efforts, so he was still a little nervous.

After finishing all the exams and walking out of the examination room, Zhuo thought that his performance should be satisfactory.

Although it may not achieve the expected result.

After the first day of the exam, Zhuo checked the answers for the parts he had taken with Ling. There were many questions that were not matched, so he did not get full marks, but the score was still acceptable. He would check the answers for today's questions after he got home. Zhuo believed that he had done better than the last exam.

That’s right, as long as it’s better than before, I’ll be content. Zhuo doesn’t think he can become rich overnight.

Speaking of which, I was able to know the results in advance thanks to Zero, who said, "As long as I set my mind to it, I can get full marks." It is really convenient to have such a great person at home.

"Zhuo~How did you do on the exam~~?"

When Zhuo was leaning back in his chair, relaxing and taking a rest in an untidy manner, Ren, looking a little listless, staggered over.

He looked unhappy, probably because studying was not Ren's strong point. Of course, Ren worked hard, but his grades were never top-notch.

"All of them reached more than 80 points?"

"So amazing! You really put in a lot of effort this time. Do you want to take care of me?"

"Do you care that you scored above 90 in everything, or that you performed poorly on a certain question, resulting in you being only slightly better than me?"

"That's a good guess."

"I don't sympathize with capitalists who cry poor."

"How heartless... Don't worry, I just didn't perform well this time."

"You can even bring up something like your performance... Anyway, it's fine. I must not do badly in the exam next year—"

"No, we just finished one exam, and we don't even want to talk about the next one... How frustrating... I just want to enjoy the feeling of liberation right now. Kanda, don't you think so?"

"That's right, the past and the distant future are not what we should consider now."

Kanda Tomokazu, who was hunched behind Zhuo, nodded in agreement when he heard what Ren said. In addition, Kanda, who was smarter and more serious than Ren, was not in high spirits now because a thin layer of snow fell today, and he hated this kind of weather the most.

The sparse snow particles mixed with rain would split as soon as they fell to the ground, dyeing the earth black while condensing a thin layer of snow and frost, which would make you slip if you were not careful.

"...Ah, why is there such a half-bottle of snow on the last day?" "I can't help it, it's winter after all."

"Would you like to come to my house and find some answers?"

"Please spare us! I just want to go home now."

Looking at the exhausted Ren and Kanda clinging to each other to comfort each other, Zhuo muttered, "I see you guys are still quite energetic," and then looked at the classmates gathered in the classroom.

The school was filled with a lazy atmosphere, and there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the exams were over, and we should have been having fun when we encountered this kind of weather, so many of the planned activities had to be cancelled. Especially the members of the sports club who were doing activities outside, they all looked depressed, creating a gloomy atmosphere.

After all, even Kanda, the main player of the sports club, couldn't stand this kind of weather. He sat in his seat and slumped on the table with powerlessness.

After the exam, more and more students gathered around Ling. They probably wanted to see Ling's answers, which were always accurate without any surprises in every exam, so they gathered together to compare answers.

By the way, just as Ling said, she left the draft test paper on her desk, letting those people check it themselves, then she stood up and moved to the right - sitting on Zhuo's chair.

……

As a result, the snow (rain?) still didn't stop until school was over that day, and the sky was still gray on the way home.

Because of this, the road, which should be busier on normal days, seemed unusually quiet, and many students quickened their pace and set off on their journey home.

Zhuo pulled Ling under his big umbrella, and walked in step with Ling, holding the same umbrella together.

He carried Ling's bag as usual, and was careful not to get wet. Looking to the side, perhaps because there was no one else around, Ling seemed a little depressed, and he kept staring at the puddle on the side of the road.

"…Suddenly the weather changed and yesterday's clothes couldn't be dried."

Ling seemed to be aware of Zhuo's gaze. Since her bag was snatched away by Zhuo, she had nothing to do with her hands, so she fiddled with the ends of her hair that were suddenly messed up, and muttered softly.

She seemed to have noticed her hair, or rather, she noticed that Zhuo had noticed the ends of her hair and was looking there with a frown.

"My hair has become like this too. It takes a lot more effort to keep it the same as usual."

"Well... I personally think you're pretty cute the way you are, but I guess that's a helpless move."

For Zhuo, there are too many scenes where he sees Zero as delicate as a doll, but there are fewer scenes where he is a little messy like today. It is a blessing to be able to see Zero in various forms.

But for girls, especially in front of the person they like, a messed up hairstyle can mean a matter of life and death, especially since they need to face themselves every moment.

Although Zero's hairstyle now looks a little more messy and cute than usual, she may not like it.

Ling repeated "cute" in a low voice, and then her eyes quickly moved away. As if she wanted to hide her embarrassment, she slapped Zhuo's arm with the hand that had been holding his arm.

Zhuo looked at Ling and saw that she was avoiding her as if on purpose, but perhaps because of the gloomy weather, her face was paler than usual.

Looking at her fair face, Zhuo sighed softly.

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid I can't go on a jog today. This weather is not suitable no matter how you think about it. I finally managed to hold on, but now my laziness is coming back again."

Anyway, it is not good to run for a long time in the snow. What's more, you need to warm up before running. If you catch a cold, it will not be worth it.

So during this period of time I had to find some indoor exercise to replace running.
