Xiao Yi didn't care at all about the curious gazes from everyone; instead, he stood up with a grin and walked towards the front row.
In his hand was the small paper packet containing the special-effect cold capsule.
This originally had nothing to do with Xiao Yi, but suddenly, his eyes lit up.
The two cold capsules he took in the morning, he had eaten one and had one left, so it was just perfect to use Xiao Zihan for an experiment to see if the pill worked on others!
If this pill can cure a cold, then he could make a fortune in the future!
Even the teacher, known as the Extinction Nun, looked at Xiao Yi with some surprise, wondering if this guy had discovered something?
After all, the fact that the boys privately called Xiao Zihan ugly was something she knew, and usually, the boys wanted nothing more than to avoid Xiao Zihan when they saw her.
So, under the surprised gaze of the teacher and classmates, Xiao Yi naturally approached Xiao Zihan's desk and handed the paper packet to her:
"Here, this medicine works quite well. I just took one this morning."
Xiao Yi didn't lie; the medicine was indeed effective, and he really took one that morning.
Suddenly seeing a fair hand appear in front of her, Xiao Zihan, who was holding her mouth and lowering her head, was momentarily stunned.
Then, she shyly lifted her head slightly to glance at the tall and handsome boy in front of her, instantly blushing.
After hesitating a bit, she shook her head repeatedly, softly saying thank you, no need, and then quickly lowered her head again as if she thought of something.
However, with that shake of her head, the long hair that covered her face suddenly fell to the sides, completely revealing her face in an instant.
Although she quickly lowered her head again, it was enough for Xiao Yi, who unintentionally caught a glimpse, to be dumbfounded!
Because of the earlier cough, the outdated and shabby glasses were taken off by Xiao Zihan and placed on the desk, and because of that, her face was fully exposed in front of Xiao Yi.
Porcelain-white skin, a delicate and lovely face like a lotus flower, with a hint of shyness amidst the confusion, indescribable stunning beauty.
"I-I-I, damn! Am I seeing things? Is this the so-called ugly girl? Did all the guys in the class go blind, or is there something wrong with my sense of beauty!"
Due to the angle, the head teacher didn't see Xiao Yi's expression and directly said:
"Since Xiao Yi has medicine, you should take it first, Xiao Xiao. Alright, Xiao Yi, hurry back to prepare for the exam."
The teacher's words brought Xiao Yi back to reality, and after placing the paper packet containing the capsule lightly on Xiao Zihan's desk, he gave a deep look at her lowered head before turning back to his seat.
"Boss, you're amazing, not picky at all, are you!"
Just as he got back to his seat, his best friend Li Huiqun gave him a thumbs-up and couldn't help but sigh.
But Xiao Yi wasn't in the mood to pay attention to this guy because his mind was filled with Xiao Zihan's stunning face.
It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Zihan and the current school belle of the third middle school aren't even on the same level.
Xiao Yi was sure that if Xiao Zihan changed her baggy school uniform for a dress and took off those outdated glasses, she would be far more beautiful than those A-list actress stars!
While Xiao Yi was in a daze at his seat, staring at that slightly self-conscious figure, Xiao Zihan had put her glasses back on and carefully took out the capsule.
After hesitating for a while, she seemed to make up her mind, taking her old, paint-chipped water bottle and swallowing the pill.
Seeing this, the teacher known as the Extinction Nun couldn't help but sigh, thinking what a poor yet strong girl she is, hoping she can have a good future, but please don't find someone like Xiao Yi.
After swallowing the pill, Xiao Zihan suddenly felt her mind clear.
The itchiness in her throat vanished instantly, but having grown up only believing in drinking hot water for colds, she merely thought this cold medicine was a rare, expensive one.
"I really have been fooled by this girl's disguise before; who would've thought the Golden Phoenix was right beside me!"
The love of beauty is inherent to everyone, and at his current age, Xiao Yi was in the budding stage of love, so naturally, he had a strong sense of possessiveness for beautiful things; it could even be described as love at first sight.
At this time, Xiao Yi had no mind for exams. More than ten minutes into the exam, and this guy hadn't even written his name down.
A strong surge of protectiveness arose in his heart, thinking about how he could seize this hidden Snow Lotus before anyone else discovered it!
But after a brief moment, he felt frustrated. If he had discovered this sooner, it would've been fine. The road is long; no need to rush.
But with only a week left until the college entrance exams, and with Xiao Zihan's grades, she's sure to crush the admission line of any university in the country!
Looking at his blank test paper...
"No, I must go to college too! I need to score a great result! Then apply to the same university as Xiao Zihan!"
Looking at Xiao Zihan's back, Xiao Yi's heart was full of protectiveness, and he also set a goal for himself.
Gritting his teeth, he looked at the paper in front of him. "Achieving a perfect score starts with the test paper in front of me!"
However, the next moment, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Sigh! Every letter on this English test paper was recognizable, but unfortunately, string them together and he couldn't comprehend it…
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a surge of joy arose in his heart:
"Oh, right, how did I forget about the system! Now I'm a person with the system, how could it be difficult to score a great result?"
With this thought, Xiao Yi was filled with an unyielding spirit and started planning how to use the system to score high!
But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't come up with any ideas.
Really, could he decompose and recreate the test paper during the exam? But even if it worked, this decomposition and recreation could only be used once a day, and there weren't just one subject per day in the exams.
He struggled with these thoughts for nearly two hours, and regarding the test paper before him, other than writing his name during one of Extinction Nun's rounds, it remained a blank slate.
There wasn't even the usual drawing of lots for questions or copying the reading comprehension answers onto the writing section.
Ding-ling-ling~
As a bell rang, this exam ended, and watching his blank test paper being collected, Xiao Yi showed no expression, still sitting there frowning, even when Li Huiqun came over to invite him to the bathroom only to be waved off impatiently.
Now he could be said to have a great system at hand but was completely clueless about improving his scores!
And just as he was brooding over this, he suddenly sensed a figure appearing in front of him, causing him to frown:
"Damn it, Li Huiqun, can't you go pee on your own! You're useless, always dragging the old… uh… not you, Xiao Zihan, what's up, anything you need?"
