Volume 1: Rebirth and Rebuilding Chapter 4: The Mock Exam

  Just as I walked into the classroom, I heard a soft and tender female voice calling out my name, "Xiao Yi..."

  After walking to his own seat and putting down his backpack, Chu Yu Chao finally called out to the girl at the same table as him, Su Jing Yi, who was also the original owner of this body's first love, nodded slightly.

  Today, Su Jingyi wore a purple floral long dress with a white sweater, looking exceptionally pure and lovely. From the perspective of young people, she is absolutely the princess in the hearts of many peers.

  Look at Xiao Yi's very cold response to himself, and he couldn't help but pout his cute little mouth and say: "Except for the second call you made to me, you only said two sentences and then hung up. For five days, you seemed to have evaporated into thin air. I called your home phone and no one answered, and I even went to your house and knocked on the door but no one opened it. Are you not going to deal with me anymore?"

  Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "What's going on? I've been feeling unwell for the past few days, so I'm resting at home." To be honest, up until now, Chu Yu still found it hard to accept his current youthful identity. In a house full of teenagers, he always felt a little out of place.

  "The original owner of this body had always dreamed of getting into the best university in Shanghai and obtaining a full scholarship. If he could fulfill this wish ahead of time, then there would be no need to come to school anymore..." Chu Yu thought to himself, having already decided what he was going to do for today's mock exam.

  Su Jingyi saw that the young man did not show any signs of apology, and she couldn't help but say angrily: "If I had known you were so heartless, I wouldn't have shouted for help by the river that day, letting a heartless person like you..."

  "Let's not mention that again, I was wrong, it was my fault, don't be angry anymore, Xiaojing. Later, I'll give you a gift to make up for it, okay?" Chu Yuke didn't want the whole class to know about his jumping into the river, so he quickly interrupted Su Jingyi's words in a low voice.

  "This is what you said, if I don't like the gift you gave me, I won't let you off either." The thoughts of a young girl are always hard to grasp, Su Jingyi smiled lightly and used her soft little hand to secretly pull Chu Yu's hand tightly under the desk.

  "The original master of the flesh still had an unfulfilled wish, which was to marry this little girl as his wife... This is something he couldn't do himself, but making this little girl rich and noble for life, living a long life of one hundred years, that's not a problem." Chu Yu thought to herself, allowing the young girl to quietly blush and tightly grasp her hand, smiling silently. Although she was very clear that this wish was just the naive infatuation of that already deceased young man.

  At this moment, a middle-aged female teacher wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in from the door with thick test papers, and the students in the class couldn't help but start discussing.

  "Teacher Zhang has arrived! He won't be giving us a test on the first day of school, will he? Not even giving us time to prepare..." said a small-eyed boy in the front row with a look of surprise.

  "Oh no, I've been playing for seven whole days! If I fail this exam, I might get assigned to a lower class." said a student who has always been in the middle to lower ranks of the class.

  "It's just a mock exam, what's there to be nervous about? With my intelligence and talent, it's nothing. This is just a necessary step to get into Tsinghua or Peking University." A certain gifted student said disdainfully.

  When a middle-aged female teacher wearing thick black-rimmed glasses walked in from the door with a thick stack of test papers, the students in the class couldn't help but start discussing.

  Su Jingyi had already let go of his hand and leaned in close to Xiao Yi's ear, whispering: "When the exam starts, if you don't understand anything, just look at my paper."

  Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, understanding the girl's kind heart, and he was even more determined to let this innocent little girl have a happy life.

  "Classmates, this mock exam will determine your class placement in the future, so I hope everyone can bring out their best state to take this exam. That's all I have to say, please pass the test papers down." Teacher Zhang was clearly a man of action, without any unnecessary chatter, and soon a comprehensive math and science test paper was passed into each student's hands.

  Chu Yu swept her gaze over the blank test papers on the table, realizing that if she only relied on Xiao Yi's standards, she could probably only answer around seventy percent of the questions.

  Under a glance around the circle, I found that at this moment, except for myself, all students in the class were bowing their heads and writing, only hearing a piece of "rustling" sound of paper and pen contact.

  Ten minutes passed, and Chu Yu had no intention of picking up his pen to answer the questions. Twenty minutes passed, and Chu Yu was already lying on the table, resting enough. He calculated that the time was almost up anyway. After integrating Xiao Yi's knowledge, he already possessed everything a modern person should know. The test paper couldn't be handed in within half an hour.

  During this time, Su Jingyi had more than once moved her paper in the direction of Chu Yu, but seeing that the latter had no intention of moving his pen, she could only anxiously wait. After all, this was a very important mock exam, and there was also the class teacher present to supervise, so she couldn't possibly speak up to urge Xiao Yi to copy from her paper.

  "Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? Are you going to hand in a blank paper?" Zhang teacher, the proctor, finally noticed Xiao Yi's abnormal behavior and walked over to ask with a slightly reproachful tone. As for his own students, Zhang teacher was still very familiar with them, and Xiao Yi's grades had always been among the last few in the class, but not to the point of handing in a blank paper.

  "What's wrong? I was just a bit sleepy earlier, so I took a break and now I'm starting to answer the questions." He responded with a sentence, ignoring Zhang teacher's angry gaze, Chu Yu began writing.

  For him, a master of Lianbao who had been in the mortal world for six years and obtained three doctoral degrees and five master's degrees, this junior high school test paper was really too shallow, just like asking a college student to do a math worksheet full of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

  Under the close attention of Teacher Zhang, Chu Yu finished all the questions on the entire test paper within ten minutes. After half an hour had passed, he handed in his paper without hesitation and whispered to Su Jingyi before leaving the classroom: "I may not be coming tomorrow, so please help me ask for leave when the time comes. I will come for tomorrow's language test."

  "It seems like this child has given up..." Teacher Zhang shook her head with a sigh, but when her eyes landed on the test paper handed in by Xiao Yi, she was shocked.

  "This is... every question has been solved with more than two different methods, all the bonus difficult questions have been answered correctly... Hmm, the solutions to these two questions actually used calculation methods that can only be learned in high school..."

  The more he looked, the more shocked Teacher Zhang became, his mouth almost forming an "O" shape, and many students below took advantage of this opportunity.

  "When did this kid become so clever... Was he pretending to be a fool all along?! After finishing the test paper, this was the only reasonable explanation that came into Zhang's mind, and a hint of a pleased smile appeared on his face. 'This is a great thing! A student like this has emerged in my own class, it seems that my chances of being promoted to head of the department next year have increased by a bit.'"

  Out of the school gate, Chu Yu touched the remaining 10.6 yuan in his pocket and muttered to himself: "Cultivation also requires money, it's not good to be so poor... Let me think, what was the name of that financial group I set up in the mortal world when I first entered the world?"

  It should be called... Tianbao Financial Group... That's right, I don't know when it was until today that when I withdrew from the world and handed over the group's industry to those younger generations, whether they had made it prosperous or not. Even if it was just maintaining the status quo, by now it should have accumulated a staggering amount of wealth...
