Chapter 283: Chapter 285: Because of Another Girl

"I’m saying!" Xiyan puffed out her cheeks. "These questions are so easy for you! The homework I can barely finish in two hours, you can complete in thirty minutes. So why won’t you help me? Time is money, isn’t it?"

Ou Jue stared wordlessly at the girl in front of him spouting nonsense.

He set the proposal aside. "This is the attitude you use when asking for help?"

Xiyan replied earnestly, "I’m not asking you, though. Other boyfriends always help their girlfriends with their homework."

"Xia Xiyan, your courage is clearly growing by the day."

"Fine, don’t help then. Stingy guy. Worst case, I’ll just stay up all the way until early morning to finish it myself!"

"...Give it here."

Huh?

Xiyan blinked in disbelief. Ou Jue was giving in?

She broke into a grin and hurriedly handed over the math test sheet like an eager puppy.

Ou Jue took the paper, his dark eyes scanning the single page Xiyan had spent the entire afternoon working on.

"So this is the masterpiece you managed after an afternoon of hard work?"

"What do you mean by ’masterpiece’? I worked on it seriously all afternoon!"

Ou Jue’s sharp tongue struck again. "You worked seriously all afternoon, yet of eight questions, five are wrong."

"Well, math isn’t my strong suit, okay?" If it were English or literature, she could whip up a perfect score test in no time.

Ou Jue shifted toward the inside of the couch. "Come here."

"Okay." Xiyan obediently sprawled next to him, her head leaning against his shoulder. From beneath her nose wafted the pleasant scent of his cologne.

Ou Jue placed the test sheet on top of the proposal, holding it with one hand while writing answers with the other, "Question one..."

For practically every question he wrote down, he broke the problem down into detailed, step-by-step solutions.

It felt like he had poured all the patience he had in his lifetime into this girl beside him.

As Ou Jue wrote, he walked Xiyan through the math and physics questions on the test sheet.

"Wow, you finished in just an hour! Ou Jue, don’t you even need to think when solving problems?"

"Do you think I’m you?"

Xiyan pulled the test sheet back and shifted away from Ou Jue’s embrace, sitting upright. "Thanks, big boss! You can go back to your work now."

"Come back!" Ou Jue flipped over and pinned her underneath him, his expression somewhat displeased. "Did I say you could leave?"

This ungrateful little brat—use him and toss him aside?

Xiyan blinked at him. "If not leave, then what?"

"Just stay right here by my side and don’t go anywhere."

Ou Jue domineeringly locked her in his arms and resumed reading the proposal.

Xiyan’s heart felt sweet and warm.

She didn’t know why, but this happiness felt so surreal, almost dreamlike.

"What’s this?"

"The latest event plan for the company’s game."

Xiyan looked clueless, totally unable to make sense of it.

Was this Demon King Ou Jue really only 19 years old?

He had already taken charge and was managing such a huge corporation...

Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, Xiyan blurted out, "By the way, Ou Jue, didn’t you retake senior year? Why was that?"

Given Ou Jue’s aptitude, it definitely wasn’t because his grades weren’t good enough...

So why did he redo a year?

Hearing her question, the hand flipping through the proposal paused slightly. His voice was calm, indifferent. "No particular reason."

No way—Ou Jue definitely wasn’t being honest with her!

A year ago, she hadn’t transferred to Saint Siya College yet and didn’t even know Ou Jue.

So what had happened to him during that year?

Xiyan’s imagination ran wild, forming a conclusion: "Could it be that you... stayed back a year because of some other girl?"
