Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Asking for Candy

Yun Sisi instinctively covered her nose and took two steps back.

A wave of unease surged through her.

What the heck? Why didn’t Yun Shifei argue with her?

She felt Yun Shifei was becoming more and more peculiar, increasingly beyond her expectations.

Does she genuinely dislike Mu Chengzhu, or is she just pretending?

Yun Sisi was deeply troubled, unable to figure it out.

...

Day by day passed, and soon, it was time for the midterm exams.

During this period, Yun Shifei had been diligently studying and doing practice problems.

She had already leveled up from Bronze to Silver.

But... facing the complex science subjects, while she had made some progress compared to before, there were still many questions she couldn’t solve.

After finishing the exam papers, Yun Shifei felt deeply upset.

She knew her foundation was too weak, and studying had to be approached gradually, but she couldn’t help feeling impatient.

She longed to achieve a good result so much.

After school, as Song Yang walked past her, he couldn’t resist making a snide remark: "Some people scored only 23 points on the last exam. After studying so hard these days, I wonder if they can manage 33 points this time?"

Song Yang’s irritating tone made Yun Shifei angry, yet she couldn’t muster a rebuttal.

She...

might really not score 33 points...

Who knows?

She thought of Yun Sisi.

Yun Sisi seemed genuinely smart. After finishing her homework each day, she would watch TV.

Unlike her, who sat at her desk every day writing, memorizing, yet her brain felt like a muddled mess, understanding nothing.

Maybe people really can’t be compared to each other.
