SWNOVELXO Chapter 28.1
The days that followed returned to a semblance of calm; at least that’s how Xu Lin felt.
Every day consisted of jogging for exercise, followed by dedicated study. When he felt the need for enhanced memory, he would activate a short-term memory enhancement card.
In these few days, he spent a total of 1000 points on the card, but the gains were significant. Many things that were prone to being forgotten became more firmly rooted in his memory.
Additionally, among the remaining three items for the week, he decided to buy the 2000-point “Surfing Technique.” Mainly enticed by the apparent bargain, he soon discovered it was not a skill related to swimming but rather an intimate skill. He was dumbfounded!
Sharing a somewhat embarrassing detail, in his previous life at 24 years old, before his transmigration, he was still a single guy and remained pure-hearted. He hadn’t transformed into a man.
He suddenly felt that using such a thing might truly require waiting for the right moment. He was not the kind of man to be casual about it!
Moreover, Chu Qingchan still hadn’t returned. However, through WeChat, he learned that she and Teacher Guan had gone to Qizhou and would be heading to Yanjing in a couple of days before returning.
However, amidst all these developments, Xu Lin was about to face a real battle: the monthly exam.
The outcome of this exam—whether he enters the top 50 in the entire school—determines whether he can continue to be exempt from homework.
He couldn’t let down the expectations of his class teacher, considering the dissatisfaction of many teachers. He had shouldered it all by himself.After the recent intense studying sessions, his intelligence had surprisingly increased from 6 to 6.2. Though it was still slightly below Teacher Su and Ji Yun’s 7, it at least represented his growth potential.
Due to the upcoming exam, the afternoon before, everyone cleaned up the mess of books in their drawers, and the study committee members posted exam numbers.
The exam started early today. They only needed to bring the necessary materials. Since it was a monthly exam, there wasn’t any extra formality. The admission ticket had only the name and exam number.
Finding the classroom and seat according to the exam number was all that was needed. The entire second grade went to the teaching building for the third grade, while the third grade, along with the first grade, went to the new teaching building.
Upon arriving at school, it felt noticeably quieter than usual. In the classroom, many students were reviewing textbooks and notes. Clearly, most students still respected the significance of the exam.
Feeling confident in his preparation, Xu Lin didn’t bring a backpack. He carried only a transparent bag for the exam, containing a few pens, pencils, and erasers.
“Xu Lin, coming light, you must be pretty confident?”
“I just think bringing a backpack means putting it in the corridor during the exam. The corridor is dirty, and sometimes bags get stepped on. Then you have to wash the bag when you get back.”
“Yeah, makes sense…”
Xu Lin’s explanation made Li Bin suddenly feel that bringing such a heavy backpack was more for show and might not serve much purpose.
“Xu Lin, what do you need to review? I can lend you.”
“I’ve already reviewed everything. Right now, what I need is to adjust my mindset.”
Ji Yun nodded. Others might not know, but she knew that he had an agreement with the old class teacher. If he didn’t perform well, she couldn’t even bear to think about the scene that would unfold.
Recently, Xu Lin had indeed visibly put in effort. Initially, she thought that rejecting him might make him less focused on studying, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
After becoming friends with him, whom she didn’t know very well before, she gained a clearer understanding of a different Xu Lin.
She used to think of him as a shy, innocent, and honest boy. Later, she discovered he was a wise, mature, kind, and caring young man.
