Chapter 251 – Winter Holiday Arrives, Preparation Complete

Afternoon, Sixth High:

Chen Yu walked out of the fifth-floor examination room with his backpack and made his way down to Class 2-2’s classroom.

“I’m the first?”

After scanning the empty classroom, Chen Yu walked to his seat and packed his belongings into his backpack.

After today, Sixth High would be going on winter break.

When Chen Yu thought back to his experiences throughout the semester and how he had quickly gone from being a flunkie to someone capable of influencing the entire world, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of insecurity.

“How mysterious…”

Picking up his full backpack, Chen Yu sighed momentarily before turning around to leave. However, when he passed by Xing Biqi’s seat, he couldn’t help but stop his footsteps.

He noticed a gift hidden in the desk drawer.

Reaching out, Chen Yu grabbed the small purple box and found a card stuck on it.

Written on the card was the following:

I feel lucky to meet you at a young and brilliant age.

So long as I see you, the dark clouds in my world dissipate.

Although I usually treat you coldly, it is only because I do not know how to express myself.

Through this card, I wish to say that having you here really is wonderful.

I wish you a Happy New Year.

-Zhen Congming.

“Hoh?” His eyebrows lifting, Chen Yu reread the card before looking at Zhen Congming’s seat. “I never knew you had it in you.”

Without hesitation, Chen Yu pulled out a pen from his backpack and skillfully censored the words “Zhen Congming.” He then added two words behind the censor bar—Chen Yu.

“Happy New Year~”

While humming a tune, Chen Yu returned the gift box into the desk drawer and left.

…

Ring… Ring… Ring…

Twenty minutes later, in a certain classroom…

Upon hearing the bell, the female teacher sitting by the lectern stood up and clapped her hands. “Time’s up. Place your exam papers on the upper-left corner of your tables and line up to leave the exam venue.”

Hearing this, the students inside the exam venue hurriedly packed up their belongings and dashed out of the classroom.

The end of the final exam meant that the long-awaited two-month winter break was finally here.

There was no Sixth High student who wouldn’t rejoice at receiving vacation, even though there was almost no difference between going to school and being on vacation for most of them…

“Ugh…”

The only person to actually feel upset about this vacation was probably Xing Biqi.

After storing away her writing utensils and picking up her backpack, she looked at the gray sky outside the window and sighed.

Once the holidays started, she would have a difficult time meeting Chen Yu.

When she thought about how she couldn’t make exquisite desserts for her sweetheart for the next two months, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” After a while, the female teacher at the lectern approached Xing Biqi and patted her back. “Did you make some mistakes in your test?”

“No.” Xing Biqi shook her head. She then squeezed out a smile and said, “I’ll leave now.”

“Happy New Year in advance,” the teacher said, smiling.

“Happy New Year.”

After seeing Xing Biqi leaving, the female teacher gradually retracted her smile. She then raised her hand to cover her mouth before whispering, “I’ve installed the monitoring device on Target E. The effective period is one hour, and it will automatically fall off within half an hour.”

“Good. Please make sure everything is foolproof to avoid getting detected by Target A’s anti-reconnaissance equipment.”

“Understood.”

…

After leaving the fourth-floor exam venue, Xing Biqi ran back to Class 2-2 with a heart filled with expectation. However, when she returned to the classroom and saw Chen Yu’s empty seat, disappointment immediately filled her.

As she had expected, Chen Yu had long since turned in his exam paper and returned home.

Refusing to give up, she quickly walked to the balcony and approached Li Liang. She then asked, “Li Liang, has Chen Yu gone home already?”

“He’s long gone,” Li Liang, who was seated cross-legged on the balcony and wrapped in a military-style jacket, said.

“Oh.” Xing Biqi’s head drooped down.

“What? Brother Chen didn’t even greet you before leaving?”

“Mhm.”

“Tsk, tsk.” Li Liang smacked his lips and touched his bald head. “Sure enough, the one that’s loved has nothing to fear.”

“D-Don’t talk nonsense…” Xing Biqi’s face immediately flushed red with embarrassment. She then quickly changed the subject and asked, “Why are you still sitting here? Aren’t you going home?”

“I’m on duty. I can only leave once you guys are gone.

Achoo!

”

“A-Are you sure you don’t want to ask the teacher to get you a new seat?”

“Keke.” Wiping his runny nose, Li Liang sneered and said, “I won’t let anybody snatch this precious spot from me! It might look cold now
