I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 72 is too much, I dare not stop...

"Ah, it's alright, I only studied for a little while a few days before the exam."

Tang Zhi glanced at the list; she was ranked second in the class, having risen from fifth.

And his ranking in the grade also rose from 17th to 6th.

She didn't seem to react much to this, as if it were a perfectly normal outcome.

"You want to rise in the rankings, and you want to play games too. You're so greedy."

"You need to achieve some results, right? It's for the sake of playing the game better, and there's no conflict between the two."

Tang Zhi shrugged and smiled, which made Zhou Heng very angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, she had that kind of brain.

"Are you going online tonight?"

"Of course, I covered it up!"

Zhou Heng nodded. He had already achieved such good results; shouldn't he reward himself tonight? Otherwise, wouldn't the exam have been a waste?

"One person's score is quite interesting."

Zhou Heng asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

Then, Tang Zhi stretched out her hand and pointed to a person on the list.

Zhou Heng glanced at it and realized that Tang Zhi was referring to Tong Yining.

Tong Yining's ranking dropped from 34th to 77th in the grade, a dramatic decline in her grades.

Zhou Heng looked up at Tang Zhi and asked:

"Are you saying that her significant regression has something to do with me?"

Can you deny it?

"No, but I don't care. It's her business if she's affected."

Zhou Heng tossed the order aside and said casually,

At this moment, Tong Yining held her report card in her hand, her gaze shifting back and forth between her own and Zhou Heng's grades.

Her gaze was deep, her expression solemn, but her emotions were unreadable.

After a while, she put down the report card, looked up, and gazed in Yin Mengran's direction.

"Ugh, what am I... doing...?"

After school that evening, Zhou Heng couldn't wait to rush home.

If Yin Mengran hadn't kept up in time, she almost wouldn't have been able to keep up with Zhou Heng's pace.

After returning home, Zhou Heng immediately told his mother, Liu Wei, about his grades.

Yin Mengran sat there, smiling as she watched Zhou Heng call Liu Wei and explain the situation.

Although she couldn't hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, she could sense from Zhou Heng's words that he was very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Heng went to his room to play games.

Looking at her report card, Yin Mengran thought back to her past self; she used to do the same thing, rushing home to tell her parents as soon as she knew her grades.

Seeing their happy expressions and hearing them praise her was like a source of emotional support for her; she always looked forward to that moment.

Yin Mengran glanced at the chat interface on her phone, then at her report card.

She seemed lost in thought, her expression appearing conflicted.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally, she took a picture of her report card and sent it to a friend on her phone...

And this friend was none other than Liu Wei.

She didn't know why she did it, but she did it anyway, and a sense of expectation quietly rose within her, a hope for a response...

"Ding--"

A moment later, her phone rang. She quickly picked it up and eagerly looked at it:

"【My darling is so great! {kiss}{kiss}{kiss}】"

Immediately afterwards, a transfer was sent: "[This is a reward for the little one! Accept it quickly!]"

"!!"

Yin Mengran's eyes widened, her face filled with horror, a reaction of extreme shock.

Yin Mengran looked at her phone and saw that Liu Wei had transferred 666 yuan to her.

This reward is outrageous! I used to get first place in exams all the time, but I've never received such a large reward before.

She typed a message and replied: "Mom, thank you, but I can't accept this money."

"【Oh! Okay, okay! Take it now, or I'll get angry! {Laughs while covering mouth}】"

There was absolutely no sign of anger in her words; even Yin Mengran chuckled softly, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Yin Mengran's smile widened, with even the corners of her eyes and brows unable to suppress the joy.

His head swayed slightly from side to side, his happiness almost visibly evident.

After several refusals, Yin Mengran knew she really had to accept it. Liu Wei truly lived up to her reputation as Zhou Heng's mother; when she got persistent, no one could sway her...

After accepting the transfer, Yin Mengran didn't intend to keep it for herself, but instead transferred it directly to Zhou Heng.

She felt that this did not belong to her, and that she told the other party about her results not because she wanted to get the money.

"【This is... from my mom, please accept it...】"

A while later, Yin Mengran heard her phone ring. She opened it and found that Zhou Heng had returned the money she had transferred to him.

"Why are you giving this to me? Take it, don't be shy."

"But...there are too many, I dare not accept them..."

"[She deliberately gave you less because she was afraid you wouldn't dare accept it. Otherwise, with you getting first place, you'd be worth much more in her eyes than just this; she'd value it at least six more.]"

"Uh..."

Yin Mengran stared at the message on her phone, speechless with astonishment.

This is still short a single digit of reward? This is outrageous! I'm just a goddaughter, and they treat me like this!

She couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhou Heng had gotten first place; he would probably have received an even more extravagant reward.

Yin Mengran went to make dinner so that Zhou Heng could play in peace.

After Zhou Heng finished his exams and received his results, he was noticeably more relaxed and didn't spend all his time playing games.

After dinner, I rested for a while, then went to exercise.

After her last workout, Yin Mengran felt no pain, so she decided to join Zhou Heng's group.

Exercise with Zhou Heng to gradually adapt your body to the feeling of exercise, so that you won't strain your muscles again.

After exercising, both of them were drenched in sweat, so they took turns showering.

When they lay in bed at night, ready to sleep, they were already very tired.

Thinking about what happened last night, Yin Mengran began to ponder...

Of course, she still longed to fall asleep in Zhou Heng's arms, just like last night, a feeling that made her feel extremely comfortable and at ease.

But opportunities like last night seem rare. What should I do to make it happen again?

Besides pretending to be asleep and being extremely careful not to wake Zhou Heng,

She also needed to make sure Zhou Heng could turn over so he could hug her...

This is extremely difficult, so such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

"The lights are off."

"Ah."

Zhou Heng lay in bed and asked:

"It's almost the weekend, and we're going to Tang Zhi's house. You shouldn't be nervous anymore, right?"

She felt that Yin Mengran's status was different now than before. Now she, Tang Zhi, and Yin Mengran were all family, so going to Tang Zhi's house again shouldn't be so nerve-wracking.

"Hmm...it's alright...it's just that I don't know what kind of people Tang Zhi's family is..."

Yin Mengran answered softly, thinking that it would be great if everyone were like Liu Wei.

But if it weren't for that... she, as an outsider, would still be very worried.
