Chapter Thirty-Four Congratulations, Su Lin

  "Congratulations, Su Lin. You got such a good grade."

  At the corner of the corridor, Qin Yanran called out Su Lin and stretched out her hand, smiling in a very formal tone to congratulate Su Lin.

  "Thank... thank you, Yanran."

  Su Lin was a bit bewildered, but still quickly stretched out his own hand and gently grasped Qin Yanran's small, smooth hand.

  "Qin Yanran, what is this? Could it be that you've called me out here alone just to congratulate me?"

  As for Qin Yanran's lukewarm attitude now, Su Lin's heart is actually anxious. To be honest, although this time he cheated to get good grades with the help of a perfect cheat sheet, Su Lin still feels a little inferior in front of Qin Yanran. The school flower Qin Yanran, who has been high above him for three years, may soon become his girlfriend. This is a bit too unbelievable, too unrealistic.

  "What's up? Su Lin, you seem like you want to tell me something."

  Qin Yanran narrowed her eyes to look at Su Lin, and a hint of curiosity and doubt flashed in her eyes. The boy in front of her was originally unremarkable, but suddenly appeared like an enigma right before her eyes.

  "Whatever, I've made up my mind. A real man says what he thinks in his heart, no need to hide or cover up. Right, at that time we also agreed on it, now I've done it, even if Qin Yanran doesn't want to fulfill the promise she made back then, I must personally ask for an answer."

  Su Lin's heart struggled for a moment, but in the end he steeled himself and asked directly: "Yan Ran, I remember when we made that bet two days ago, you said that if I ranked among the top fifty in our grade, you'd let me be your boyfriend. Does... does that still count?"

  Bang bang bang......

  Su Lin's little heart jumped wildly, and after saying this, Su Lin felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He didn't use the ability to pause time, but Su Lin felt that at the moment he finished speaking, time stood still, and even the air solidified.

  Tense, uneasy, hopeful...

  It's really frustrating to have a mix of emotions inside, wanting to know the answer but also being afraid of knowing the answer.

  Qin Yanran, this goddess who has been admired by countless male students at Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, can Su Lin finally capture her heart?

  "Sulin, at that time I just said consider it, didn't say you must be my boyfriend."

  It seemed like she had expected Su Lin to ask that question, and Qin Yanran skillfully brought out the answer she had prepared.

  "What? Think about it? What does this mean?"

  It's not a definite answer, and it doesn't seem like a direct refusal either. What does Qin Yanran mean by saying this? Su Lin felt a bit confused inside - if Qin Yanran really liked him, wouldn't she just agree to it? And if she didn't like him and didn't want him to bother her again, why not just refuse directly?

  What's going on with this "thinking and thinking"? They say women are unpredictable, but Su Lin experienced it firsthand today.

  "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Su Lin, I, Qin Yanran, am not someone who breaks promises, you know that."

  After saying this, Qin Yanran turned down Su Lin, who still had a puzzled expression, and went back to the classroom.

  Yes, she is Qin Yanran, the best girl in school. She's proud and has the capital to be, how can she easily yield to herself? Looking at Qin Yanran's back, Su Lin felt a little disappointed again, it seems that he was still a toad thinking of eating swan meat after all?

  There's a bit of despair, but Su Lin is not resigned to it. Qin Yanran didn't reject me, which means there's still a chance. Alright, since you want to think about it, I'll work even harder. I don't believe that even the most arrogant woman won't have a day when she's moved and tamed by a man.

  "Yes, Su Lin, you can't give up. You have to prove yourself capable."

  Silently encouraging herself, Su Lin has gradually walked out of the inferior psychology of being a "bottom student". With the ability to pause time, believing in herself, she will slowly become more excellent and stronger.

  "Since my memory and thinking will become extraordinary during the time when time stands still, I'll utilize this ability to truly put those book knowledge into my brain. The final battle of the college entrance examination, I must prove with my own strength that I, Su Lin, am not inferior to anyone."

  Su Lin's excellent performance in middle school proves that he is not stupid, but rather has wasted so much time on his studies and only half-heartedly learns new things. The key issue is that there are too many knowledge points to remember. If he could quickly memorize all these knowledge points and problem-solving methods without missing a single word, would it still be possible for him not to get high scores?

  Back in class, during the afternoon lesson, Su Lin quietly experimented for over ten seconds and found that indeed within those suspended ten seconds, he quickly flipped through a vocabulary book with over 1,000 words, covering more than ten pages of content. As long as he glanced at it, once time resumed, it was already completely recorded in his mind, impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

  "It feels so great learning like this, any knowledge points and words can be understood with just a glance after pausing for a while."

  In class, Su Lin almost burst out laughing. With such a memory method, what can't be learned?

  "But there are too many books to review, I can't flip through every page of each one. Must focus on key points, knowledge points and exam points. Best if there's a representative set of practice questions, error correction exercises and teacher's lecture notes."

  Given the limited time available, Su Lin must spend all her time on the most critical areas, a good steel should be used on the blade.

  "Right, I can go ask Qin Yanran for her notes."

  Su Lin recalled that during the second round of review last semester, most of her classmates went to borrow Qin Yanran's notes. Indeed, Qin Yanran's notebook had clearly collected and recorded the key points, exam points, and some important question types and easily confused knowledge points for each subject.

  This is also the reason why Qin Yanran can always occupy the first place in grade with a big score, she spent a lot of time on each subject, and every knowledge point is very thorough.

  "If I can memorize all the question types in my notebook, the college entrance examination will be absolutely no problem. Even if I don't pause time to copy others' papers, the knowledge stored in my brain won't allow me to do poorly. Hehe!"

  She had made up her mind, and after school in the afternoon, Su Lin walked to Qin Yanran's desk and said to Qin Yanran, who was packing her bag: "Yanran, I want to borrow your notes for each subject, is that okay? I think there are still some knowledge points that I'm not solid on, and since I didn't take notes before, I'd like to borrow yours to take a look."

  Qin Yanran didn't mind Su Lin calling her "Yanran", so Su Lin continued to call her that in a familiar and affectionate manner.

  Now Su Lin has put on a diligent and studious appearance, blinking with a pair of inquiring eyes at Qin Yanran.

  "Which subject do you want?"

  Qin Yanran raised her head, looking at Su Lin with some confusion. The college entrance exam was just a few days away, and it seemed a bit late to borrow notes now. Moreover, Su Lin's grades were not bad this time, and she must have grasped those knowledge points firmly in order to achieve such results. It was impossible to do without detailed notes. So, Qin Yanran found it strange that Su Lin still wanted to come and borrow her notebook.

  "Chinese, English, math, biology, chemistry, physics, give them all to me! I just need it for one night."

  "One night? All subjects, can you... finish reading them? Or are you going to take them away for photocopying?"

  Qin Yanran took out several notebooks from her own school bag, "I only brought math, biology, and chemistry for now. The others are at home, I'll bring them to you tomorrow!"

  Handing over the three exquisite notebooks to Su Lin's hands, Qin Yanran still had an indifferent expression, but in her heart, she was secretly delighted. Being able to make Ice Beauty Qin Yanran patiently talk to herself for so long already explained that she had a place in Qin Yanran's heart. At least, compared to those boys who were several years younger and wanted to pursue Qin Yanran, the hope was much greater.

  "Thank you, Yanran, I will definitely read it carefully."

  With these few notebooks in hand, Su Lin's great college entrance examination review plan is about to begin. In less than a week before the college entrance examination, what kind of counterattack will he make?

  Su Lin's heart was filled with joy, but Qin Yanran had already left the classroom. At this time, a boy rushed to the door of Class 3 (2) and asked Su Lin: "Excuse me, where is Su Lin?"

  "What... what is it? You're looking for me?"

  Su Lin didn't know this boy, but he looked somewhat familiar, like a student cadre from the school's Student Union Learning Department or something.

  "Great, Su Lin student you haven't gone back yet. It's like this, the grade director and teaching director are looking for you with something, and your class teacher is also waiting for you at the teaching office."

  The boy was panting with anger, obviously having received the order and rushed over on horseback, afraid that Su Lin would go home as soon as school was over.

  "Is it the class teacher and also the head of teaching looking for me? Is Teacher Lin here too?"

  Su Lin had a bad premonition in his heart, especially since it involved Vice Principal Li Jianxing, it definitely wouldn't be anything good. Su Lin could have not gone, but since the other party had already sent someone to find him, even if he didn't see them today, tomorrow at school would still be unavoidable.

  "Let's go, I'd like to see what tricks Li Jianxing has up his sleeve. Yesterday, he deceived Teacher Lin into going to the Jiaxing Grand Hotel, and I haven't even settled that account with him yet. But now he's come looking for me first."

  I recalled that yesterday, Teacher Lin almost got ruined by that beast Liu Yuanfeng. Su Lin was furious, if it wasn't for accidentally overhearing his plot, and if not for possessing the ability to pause time, Teacher Lin would have definitely fallen into his clutches.

  This anger cannot be tolerated, this hatred must be avenged. Yes, Su Lin will help Teacher Lin vent her anger properly and not let Li Jianxing do as he pleases and act as a mouthpiece for the tiger anymore.
