Final Exams

Pang Qian, you can't use him!
Not too long after the school performance, it was time for final exams.

Pang Qian couldn't have been any more nervous. After all, they would be readjusting the classes after this exam. And at the midterm exams, she was ranked 7th from the bottom. No matter how you looked at it, she was part of the "poor students" group.

But Pang Qian had her pride. Gu Mingxi wasn't only ranked 2nd in the class, he was 2nd in their whole grade. As his deskmate, how could Pang Qian rank bottom of the class? So Pang Qian was much more attentive towards this exam than she'd ever been for any exam before.

What was strange was that Gu Mingxi was also very attentive about this exam as well. That made Pang Qian a bit confused.

Although Gu Mingxi always performed well, he didn't always rank 1st in elementary school. Sometimes he would be 2nd or 3rd, but he was never unhappy about it. So when he ended up ranked 2nd after their first midterm in junior high, Pang Qian already thought that was really good. It wasn't something to regret at all.

But this time, Gu Mingxi was very unsatisfied with his performance.

Before the final exams, he did a lot of practice questions. He memorized his English very frequently too. Pang Qian was dumbfounded. Seeing him studying all day long, reading and practicing, she couldn't stop herself from saying, "Gu Mingxi, don't always sit there. Let's go out and play a bit."

Gu Mingxi lifted his head to look at her, his gaze passing her to outside the window. They were sitting near the window on the third floor, and they could see the school field. There were a few boys from the high school playing basketball on the court, and some junior high students near the table tennis area.

Xie Yi was playing table tennis. He had on an eye-catching red down jacket, holding a paddle, bent over, waiting for the serve. When the ball came from the other side, he quickly started moving, accurately returning the ball.

Gu Mingxi averted his eyes. He pursed his lips and shook his head, "There are exams. After the exams are over, I can play as much as I want."

Pang Qian let out a long sigh. With a slightly taunting tone, "After exams are over, it's winter break. That's the most boring time, and there's nothing to play then."

Gu Mingxi looked at her, without refuting. He just lowered his head and picked his pen back up with his foot, starting a new set of math problems.

Pang Qian was waiting for him to start quarreling with her, just like back in elementary school. But she realized then that Gu Mingxi spoke less and less during school now. Sometimes she would poke him with her pen or tease him. But even when she kicked or hit him, he didn't bicker with her.

Pang Qian felt a bit embarrassed, like it was pointless. She sprawled out across her desk and looked at the other students in the classroom. They all seemed to gather around together. Aside from their deskmates, there would also be the students sitting in front and behind them. Wang Tingting and Zhang Wei were becoming better friends because they sat in front (and behind) each other. Although Xia Lang and Liu Hanlin often quarreled, when Liu Hanlin was sick and couldn't come to school, Xia Lan brought his homework to his house for him. Xie Yi's deskmate was named Sun Mingfang. Their relationship was just normal. On the other hand, he was on very good terms with the girl in front of him, Qiu Lina. After class ended, Qiu Lina would always turn around and laugh as she talked to Xie Yi. There was also Jian Zhe. After junior high started, he and Gu Mingxi didn't often hang out much anymore. He'd made new friends, and only helped out when Gu Mingxi needed to use the restroom.
