They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 643: She’s Everything Wrong With My Life

The meeting ended late into the night, but the discussions had set things in motion. Major facts were clarified, strategies refined, and by the next day, it was already time for the examinations of the third and fourth majors.

“You remember everything I told you? The foundation is the basics,” Darius asked as they walked briskly toward the large exam hall.

“Yes, yes, I remember,” Nnenna replied, adjusting her satchel with a small smile.

“Good,” he said, his tone turning firm but encouraging. “The foundation of everything matters. It’ll always help you when things get complicated.”

He suddenly stopped mid step, forcing Nnenna to halt beside him. For a moment, his expression softened. “Look,” he said quietly, “I know that compared to who used to teach you, Somto, I might not be as good as he was. But I’ve taught you everything I know within the time we had. And even though it was short, you have everything you need for this exam. I don’t know how it’s going to go, but…” He smiled faintly, pride gleaming in his eyes. “I can feel it, you’ll excel.”

“Me too,” Nnenna nodded, her confidence firm yet gentle.

“Now come on,” Darius said, pulling her lightly by the arm as they resumed walking. “As much as I would love to use the excuse of ‘teaching you’ just to spend more time with you, we don’t want to be late.”

Nnenna chuckled, shaking her head as they quickened their pace.

Once inside the hall, the atmosphere buzzed with tension and anticipation. Students filled the seats, whispering last minute reminders to themselves, their notes clutched tightly. Nnenna’s eyes immediately caught a familiar figure among the crowd.

“Hey, George!” she waved, her voice cutting through the low hum of the room.

Hearing her, George looked up from his laptop, relief washing over his face. “There you are,” he said, closing the lid. “A few more minutes and you would’ve been late.”

“Last minute prep,” Nnenna shrugged with an easy smile.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” George said with a small nod, turning his laptop so Nnenna could see the screen. Lines of code filled it, he was still practicing one of his majors, programming, in preparation for the exam that would start soon.
