Qin Zhenzhen s.h.i.+vered as gooseb.u.mps covered her arms, and she interrupted Su Bin, saying, You talk way too much!

In other words, he had gone overboard with his acting.

Okay, I understand, Su Bin replied, realizing he should tone it down.

They continued to cooperate at the Chen Family, with Qin Zhenzhen picking vegetables while Su Bin helped. When she started was.h.i.+ng vegetables, he insisted, Darling, take a break. Let me handle this.

During the cooking, Su Bin even took over Chen Shanshans task of starting the fire and bombarded Qin Zhenzhen with all sorts of questions.

At dinner, they went as far as serving Qin Zhenzhen food. She blushed at his overly enthusiastic cooperation, but couldnt find it in herself to be angry with him.

Chen Shanshan playfully teased Qin Zhenzhen, saying, Master, do you think your husband is acting strangely? Is he trying to sleep with you after the examination?

Fl.u.s.tered, Qin Zhenzhen responded, What on earth are you talking about? We made a pact to wait until he reaches the top of the list before even considering sharing a room!

Hes behaving this way because of examination syndrome! Many candidates experience this anxiety disorder before the results are released. They say and do odd things to cope with the stress, Chen Shanshan explained.

If they dont find ways to distract themselves, the anxiety will only escalate. On the day the rankings are revealed, emotions will run high. Those who dont make it might become furious, and those who do might be ecstatic to the point of craziness!

What? Examination syndrome is that scary? Chen Shanshan exclaimed in fear after hearing Qin Zhenzhens explanation.

Dont worry, spend more time with Young Master Su and talk to him, Chen

Shanshan advised.

Qin Zhenzhen agreed, saying, Okay, Ill do that.

Little did they know that Su Bin overheard their conversation. He couldnt help but inwardly chuckle, acknowledging that Qin Zhenzhen had some peculiar theories that strangely sounded plausible.

Qin Silong was also perplexed and approached Qin Zhenzhen privately, asking,

Zhenzhen, what did you say to Su Bin? How did he end up like this?

Qin Zhenzhen explained, I just suggested that we pretend to be a couple in

front of others.

She clarified that Su Bins behavior wasnt entirely excessive, but rather, compared to his usual reserved demeanor, it did seem unusual.

She then recounted her explanation to Chen Shanshan.

However, Qin Silong wasnt easily fooled by this explanation.

I observed him closely after the examination, and he seemed quite calm. I dont think hes suffering from examination syndrome. It appears more likely that he has developed feelings for you and wants to rely on you, Qin Silong suggested.

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head adamantly. No, that cant be. Su Bin has this odd habit of being allergic to women. He doesnt even show interest in beautiful women, let alone someone like me, a chubby girl.

Qin Silong questioned her further, But what about all the times Ive seen him getting close to you? He never acted allergic around you.

Qin Zhenzhen found it hard to counter that point, but she persisted, Were just pretending for the sake of our plan. Perhaps hes grateful for our help, so hes putting on this act to cooperate.

Mumbling, Qin Silong commented, His level of cooperation is a bit overwhelming. It gives me gooseb.u.mps.

Trying to comfort her Fourth Brother, Qin Zhenzhen said, Youll get used to it. I cant reveal the truth to him right now. Lets not push too hard. If he feels embarra.s.sed, he might not play along.

Deep down, Qin Silong couldnt help but wonder if Qin Zhenzhen secretly enjoyed Su Bins behavior. After all, she used to have strong feelings for him and wanted to marry him at all costs. He recognized that he couldnt stand in the way of her heart if she still had feelings for Su Bin..
