He talked the talk, claiming he lacked the confidence to compete and that the school’s mock test was easier than the actual competition questions. He wanted the math teacher to assess them first, then "prescribe the right remedy." It had been years since the math teacher encountered such a dedicated and studious student, so naturally, he immediately agreed.

So, during the two free periods, he went and found some test papers, put together a comprehensive set and had them start working on it. Then he’d see what they were lacking and tutor them separately.

Qi Weixin stood at the door, feeling a chill all over, unable to take a step inside for a long time.

Her mind went blank.

"Weixin?" The math teacher approached, noticed her pale complexion, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Teacher, I...I feel a bit not..." She wanted to say she felt unwell, but then Xiu Xi looked over, his gaze tinged with mockery, as if he knew something.

The words she intended to say got stuck in her throat, and she felt dizzy as the math teacher pulled her aside to sit down.

"You don’t have your pen and paper, that’s okay, I have some here. Just start writing. Going back for them is a waste of time," the math teacher said, thinking her embarrassment was due to not having her supplies.

Qi Weixin didn’t even know how she managed to sit down. Looking at the questions in front of her, everything went dark.

She couldn’t even begin to think about solving them, let alone comprehending the problems.

She was so anxious that tears started flowing from her eyes without her realizing it.

"Weixin, are you feeling unwell?" The math teacher had just been nodding in satisfaction while reviewing Xiu Xi’s work and turned to Qi Weixin, only to find her crying.

"If you’re unwell, you can do it next time," Xiu Xi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. Yet his seemingly considerate words only made Qi Weixin feel more on the brink of collapse.

The math teacher also nodded, "Weixin, are you feeling unwell? Then don’t do it, you can do it tomorrow. Go rest for now. Should I call your parents to pick you up?"

Regardless of when, she had to do this set of test papers!

Qi Weixin was nearly frantic, looking at the math teacher as he made a final struggle: "Can I take the papers with me...?"

"No, I need to do them too." Xiu Xi.

"Right, Xiu Xi also has to do the same set of questions. Weixin, just come over tomorrow at noon," the math teacher said, oblivious to the underlying tensions, following Xiu Xi’s words.

Qi Weixin truly despaired then, not even knowing how she got out of the office.

Ruan Lei was peeking inside from the outside and hastily stepped back when he saw her crying as she came out.

With her mind overwhelmed by the thought of being found out, Qi Weixin didn’t notice him and turned to run home.

Ruan Lei had been following them from a distance and found Qi Weixin’s reaction particularly strange, aware that she seemed especially fearful of exams. His eyes flickered as he continued to follow her.

The home of Qi Weixin was an old-fashioned Tube Building, assigned as staff housing by the school. She ran all the way home, too panicked to notice Ruan Lei following her.

She rushed into her house and, upon seeing her mother Huang Li tidying up, burst into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom, I’m going to be found out."

"What nonsense are you talking, child? Found out for what?" Huang Li held a pile of clothes, startled by Qi Weixin suddenly throwing herself into her arms.
