Chapter 454: Chapter 454

Pu Sangzhi had circled the key points for Huo Feng a month in advance, and since May, she had been reminding him daily to prepare for the unified exam.

That month, she saw that Huo Feng was indeed seriously studying and preparing for the exam.

She had thought that a month would be enough for him, but unexpectedly, he still ended up cramming at the last minute.

Pu Sangzhi asked him how much longer he needed to study and how much content he hadn’t memorized yet.

Huo Feng himself couldn’t say...

He only told Pu Sangzhi that he had almost forgotten everything he had memorized before and had to review it all again.

That content was too much...

It couldn’t be finished in one night.

So, Pu Sangzhi suggested that he sleep first.

After all, a good mental state was very important when facing an exam.

If one were to fall asleep in the exam room or be mentally fuzzy, it would be hard to achieve good results.

Pu Sangzhi persuaded Huo Feng to sleep from the 10:30 lights-out time until midnight.

Huo Feng, possibly busy studying, would occasionally reply to her, sometimes only reluctantly after she had sent several messages.

Thus, it went on until around midnight when Huo Feng sent her: [Okay, I’m not studying anymore, I can’t even keep my eyes open. Let’s sleep!]

Only then did Pu Sangzhi yawn deeply and replied with tearful eyes: [Hmm, sleep now. If you’re really worried, you can wake up half an hour earlier tomorrow. Memory is better in the morning, and it will be more effective than studying now.]

Huo Feng replied: [Understood, understood. Let’s sleep quickly, I’m dead tired, let’s sleep holding each other. Good night! (kiss emoji)]

Seeing that he was ready to sleep, Pu Sangzhi finally smiled satisfactorily and replied: [Good night!]

After saying good night, Huo Feng continued to bury his head in his books, preparing for the sea of textbooks!

Meanwhile, the conned Pu Sangzhi reassuredly put her phone on silent, placed it beside her pillow, pulled up the covers, and got ready to sleep. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥

In the dormitory, the other three were still studying, looking like they were preparing to pull an all-nighter.

Pu Sangzhi also appropriately advised them, "Better sleep early. If you really study all night, I think you might as well not even sit for the exam tomorrow."

The other three did not listen to Pu Sangzhi and kept their heads down in their books, cramming at the last minute.

All were Class 1 students, none of whom were just aiming to ’pass’; everyone was aiming for an A.

So, at such a critical moment, no one dared to relax and rest.

Only the fearless Pu Sangzhi didn’t care about anything and went to sleep.

She was never afraid of exams because she had great confidence in herself and in her knowledge of the exam content.

Pu Sangzhi was just that kind of person.

The next morning, all the students at Longxiang High School got up early.

Because they had to go to No. 3 School for the exam, the school had arranged for school buses to transport the first-year students to No. 3 School in groups.

This exam session targeted only the first-year students, so the second- and third-year students still had regular classes.

The journey from Longxiang to No. 3 School was not far, taking only ten minutes by car, and even less with good morning traffic.

Therefore, the school had arranged only 4 school buses, sending 4 classes of students to No. 3 School at a time, taking three trips to transport all 12 classes.

Of course, this resulted in some classes having to get up early while others could come a bit later.

Class 1, which Pu Sangzhi belonged to, was in the third batch heading to No. 3 School. Their class teacher, Huo Mingshan, believed that their students didn’t need to get up early to study and that coming late would be fine.

In reality, most of the students in Class 1 also got up early to study.

Facing such an important exam, the students of Class 1 actually felt more pressure than those in other parallel classes because their goal was to achieve an A, the best result.

At 7:30 AM, all the first-year students at Longxiang High School arrived at No. 3 School.

The exam was to start at 8:00 AM, so Pu Sangzhi and others, being the last batch to arrive at No. 3 School, immediately began looking for their exam classrooms upon entering the school.

At the first notice board they saw, there was a list showing their exam ticket numbers and seating arrangements.

Pu Sangzhi, Zhu Dandan, and Wen Miao now searched for their classroom locations corresponding to their exam ticket numbers at the notice board.

The classrooms would open 15 minutes before the exam started, so at this time, all students were still wandering around the campus, waiting for the classrooms to open.

This was a rigorous unified exam, drawing not only Longxiang’s students but also first-year students from No. 3 School and other high schools. It was a mixed exam similar to the middle school exam.

Therefore, no one knew who they were sitting next to, and no one knew whether the person beside them was a poor student or a top student.

Peeking... was out of the question.

The proctor was also very strict and didn’t give any student a chance to cheat.

So, for such a strict exam, one could only rely on oneself throughout.

Pu Sangzhi quickly found her designated exam room and, before she could officially enter, she also found the room where Huo Feng was.

Waking up early this morning, Huo Feng had not contacted her, and Pu Sangzhi was a bit worried that he might drop the ball.

Since they were both in the same building for the exam, Pu Sangzhi took the initiative to look for him.

To her surprise, when she found Huo Feng by a flower bed outside the academic building, he was burying his head in a book, memorizing furiously!

But that wasn’t the key point.

The key point was, there was a girl sitting next to Huo Feng, staring at him with an aggressive gaze.

As a woman, Pu Sangzhi’s instincts told her that it must be another girl who liked Huo Feng.

However, seeing Huo Feng so engrossed in his book, Pu Sangzhi felt neither flustered nor nervous.

Because she knew that Huo Feng’s gentleness towards girls was reserved only for her.

With three minutes left before the exam officially started, Pu Sangzhi silently approached Huo Feng, and when she reached him, she intentionally blocked the morning sunlight, casting her shadow over his book and his face.

Without even looking up, Huo Feng frowned and said in a displeased tone, "Who is it, get lost!"

The girl next to him seemed to become his protector, joining him in telling Pu Sangzhi, "Classmate, please move aside."

Pu Sangzhi smiled at the girl, then called out to Huo Feng, "The exam is about to start, how much more do you have to memorize?"

Upon hearing her voice, Huo Feng immediately looked up, his eyes shimmering with a golden glow as they locked onto her, "Sangzhi!"

Pu Sangzhi responded with a smile, "Yeah."

Huo Feng pouted and stretched out his hand towards her in distress, "Sangzhi, I’m really struggling..."

Pu Sangzhi laughed and swatted his hand away, teasing him, "Struggling about what? This is all because you didn’t put in effort before. You reap what you sow."

Huo Feng persisted and reached out his hand again, saying, "The exam is starting soon, hold back the harsh words, give me some encouragement."

Pu Sangzhi ignored his hand again, and flicked his forehead, "Good luck!"

Huo Feng frowned and protested, "Is that your way of wishing someone luck!"

At that moment, a stir occurred in the campus.

The security removed the caution tape around the academic building, signaling that the exam venue was officially open.

A group of restless students got up, carrying their backpacks, and orderly entered the academic building.

Seeing this, Huo Feng took a deep breath, hurriedly bent his head down and speed-read a few key points, grasping the last minute to cram!

Pu Sangzhi, seeing him still ’studying hard’ at such a critical moment, couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Stop looking, let’s go."

"You go first! I’ll look for another 5 minutes!"

Huo Feng waved her off, his demeanor surprisingly active, which Pu Sangzhi had never seen in his usual studies.

She stood there calmly waiting for him, since the students on the other side were all rushing in, creating a chaotic scene.

Only then did Pu Sangzhi realize that the girl who had been sitting next to Huo Feng hadn’t moved at all, showing a composed demeanor amidst the chaos.

It didn’t seem like composure in a crisis, but rather a detached attitude.

Pu Sangzhi then felt that this girl did not seem like a regular student, strictly speaking, it seemed like she knew Huo Feng quite well.

Because since a while ago, that girl had been staring at Pu Sangzhi, seeming to size her up, as if paying attention to a rival in love.

Pu Sangzhi’s puzzled gaze fell on the girl, and after a few seconds of making eye contact, the girl embarrassedly elbowed Huo Feng.

"What, don’t bother me."

Huo Feng replied unapologetically, continuing to bury his head in his book.

Thus, the girl could only introduce herself to Pu Sangzhi in even more embarrassment, "Little sister, hello... I’m the one you talked to over the phone... that Saturday night..."

Only then did Pu Sangzhi have a realization!

It dawned on her... that she was the girl who had confessed to Huo Feng while drunk at Huo Feng’s grandfather’s birthday party!

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi felt a bit awkward....
