When the Great Wave Falls, You Will Be Nothing More Than Woodcutters on the Shore
Her voice wasn't very loud.
But with Su Tu's current hearing, there was no way he could miss it.
Even someone as calm as Su Tu couldn't help having a few imaginary black lines appear on his forehead.
Are girls nowadays really this fierce?
Back in my previous life...
Su Tu paused.
Fine. It wasn't much better back then either.
Xiaowen, keep your voice down!
The baby-faced girl hurriedly covered her best friend's mouth in embarrassment.
Then she looked toward Su Tu in the distance.
Her gaze became slightly dazed.
You're right. I should be a little braver.
She had been attracted to Su Tu ever since the first day of their first year of high school.
At first, to put it bluntly, she had simply been attracted by his appearance.
But later, after secretly learning more about him, she became increasingly certain that she genuinely liked him.
Even so, she had never had the courage to confess.
She had personally seen girls even more outstanding than herself confess to Su Tu, only to be gently rejected.
So she had originally planned to bury these feelings in her heart.
However, for certain reasons, she wouldn't be able to return to school before the Gaokao.
And that incredibly capable teacher had told her that before leaving school, she shouldn't leave behind any regrets.
That was why she was standing here now.
She gritted her teeth.
Gathering all her courage, she ran toward Su Tu.
Many students nearby noticed what was happening.
They were already used to scenes like this.
It seemed there would soon be one more heartbroken girl.
Damn! That's Wang Nuannuan!
The class beauty from Class Seven!
What class beauty? School beauty, maybe. But Su Tu is the real untouchable flower on the mountain. Remember that child actress? She confessed to him on television, and Su Tu didn't even react.
Wang Nuannuan isn't an ordinary girl either. Don't forget what surname the current Director of Beihai Public Security Office has!
So what? If Su Tu rejects her, are they going to arrest him?
The surrounding students whispered among themselves.
Wang Nuannuan's face turned bright red.
Still, she forced herself to keep moving.
She came to a stop in front of Su Tu and held out the letter in her hands.
Her voice trembled.
Su... Su Tu.
Because of some circumstances, I'm about to leave school.
If I don't say these things now, I might never have another chance in my life.
She lowered her head slightly.
I know you probably don't even remember me, but... please read this.
Su Tu looked at Wang Nuannuan.
The corner of his lips rose into a warm smile.
He accepted the letter and carefully placed it inside his schoolbag.
Then he looked at her seriously.
All right, Wang Nuannuan.
She froze.
Su Tu continued,
I remember you.
We've attended thirteen open classes together.
I remember you're very good at history.
He smiled.
Since you're leaving school soon, I wish you a bright future.
Wang Nuannuan stood completely frozen.
Her mind seemed to explode.
Only one sentence remained inside her head.
I remember you.
He said he remembers me.
After accepting the letter, Su Tu walked into the school.
The students around him all stared as if they had just witnessed the biggest piece of gossip of the year.
Su Tu didn't care.
After Spiritual Wisdom reached Intermediate, his memory had become almost photographic.
Even many things from the past that he had once forgotten could now be recalled clearly.
So remembering Wang Nuannuan wasn't difficult.
He didn't have any special feelings for her.
He simply didn't want a girl who had gathered the courage to confess to become a topic of ridicule because she was publicly rejected.
The moment Su Tu entered the classroom, Chen Xi rushed toward him like a madman and threw an arm around his shoulders.
Why is your romantic luck so damn good?!
He looked furious.
I heard another girl confessed to you! So what if you're handsome? Is being handsome really that amazing?!
Su Tu calmly reached into his desk.
He pulled out three or four breakfasts that someone had left for him and handed some to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi immediately changed his attitude.
Well... now that I think about it, being handsome really is amazing.
Su Tu rolled his eyes.
Chen Xi could practically be considered a childhood friend.
They had been classmates since elementary school.
Su Tu had long since become used to his unreliable personality.
He casually asked,
How's that online girlfriend of yours?
Chen Xi flicked the hair over his forehead and proudly raised his chin.
Naturally, she fell in love with this Emperor's fascinating soul!
Then he sighed.
But we've been talking less recently.
Mock exams, mock exams, and more mock exams every single day. It's annoying as hell.
Hearing this, Su Tu slightly opened his mouth.
He had originally wanted to tell Chen Xi that martial arts might be added to the Gaokao.
But after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea.
After all, it was still only his own speculation.
There was no solid confirmation yet.
Unlike Su Tu, Chen Xi didn't have a system.
He didn't have enough time and energy to divide his attention between too many things.
If Su Tu's words distracted him and affected his grades, then Su Tu would truly have screwed over his own brother.
Chen Xi narrowed one eye at him.
What's wrong?
Feels like you're hiding something from this Emperor.
He raised his chin arrogantly.
Tell me, and this Emperor may spare your life.
Su Tu answered without hesitation.
Looks like I can't hide the fact that I'm your father anymore.
This was simply how old friends behaved.
Before Chen Xi could retaliate, the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom carrying a thick stack of test papers.
And just like that...
Their happy time came to an end.
During the second half of the final year of high school, life mainly consisted of answering questions.
More questions.
And then even more questions.
Repeating the same boring process over and over until enough quantity finally created a qualitative change.
But for Su Tu...
This boring process was strangely enjoyable.
You completed Mathematics Mock Exam Paper B.
Spiritual Wisdom Proficiency +1
You completed...
Every time he completed another paper, he could literally watch his proficiency increase.
His Spiritual Wisdom was growing.
There was no reward more satisfying than being able to clearly see yourself improving.
Outside the school...
