Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!

Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Is the Exam a Roasted Persimmon?

While she was thinking, Tong Mo also moved away from beside Lu Zichen, fearing that she might be an unintended casualty.

“Ouch ouch ouch… my dear lady… Am I not wrong enough for you…” Lu Zichen gasped repeatedly, his hands awkwardly clutching his head as he hurried to beg for mercy.

“That’s more like it!” Mengmeng then retracted her pencil case and settled back into her seat, resuming her good baby image.

On the podium, Gu Zhihan’s lips couldn’t help but turn up slightly at the sight.

Actually, this guy… sometimes he’s quite pleasing to the eye.

After morning reading, the homeroom teacher who had just finished a meeting came in, clapped on the podium, and interrupted with an announcement, “I just got a notice from the school. We’re going to have an extra quiz this month, there’s not much time left, so from today on everyone must review carefully…”

“A test?” Luo Mengmeng asked Gu Zhihan with a blank face, even before the teacher finished speaking, “Honey, does ‘test’ mean we’re going to roast persimmons to eat?”

It was unexpected that the school could be so avant-garde to come up with roasting persimmons!

Wonder what they taste like!

“…”

Gu Zhihan couldn’t help but break into a sweat, his lips twitching fiercely.

How could this guy associate everything with food—even a test could make her think of—roasting persimmons! Unbelievable!

“What’s wrong?” Seeing his speechless expression, Mengmeng couldn’t help but feel suspicious, “Isn’t a test about roasting persimmons?”

“Of course not.” Gu Zhihan said, annoyed but still patiently explaining, “A test means examining what we’ve learned, like the entrance test we did before. It’s not about roasting persimmons.”

“Oh…” So that’s what it was.

Mengmeng understood, feeling a wave of disappointment—her roasted persimmons were gone…

After the monthly test, there would be midterms and soon the finals.

As finals approached, Mengmeng, who often scored zero, finally started to get anxious because her mom said if she scored two zeros again, not only would she not get any New Year’s money, but her mom would spank her bottom until it bloomed.

“It’s over, it’s over, finals are coming in a few days, and my mom says she’ll kill me if I don’t do well…” After saying this with a mournful face, Mengmeng immediately picked up a book, prepping the blade right before battle.Update by n0vgo. co

“Wuwu, me too, my dad said he’s going to hang me up on a tree and beat me, and he’ll even notify the whole neighborhood to come watch me!” When Lu Zichen heard Mengmeng’s lament, he could no longer hide his sadness.

“So, what should we do?” Biting her fingernail, Mengmeng exchanged a look of despair with Lu Zichen.

“What’s there to fear, just make a cheat sheet!” Tong Mo, sitting in front, turned around, flaunting her freshly made cheat sheet to them.

Eagerly, Mengmeng’s eyes widened to take a look, only to see thin strips of paper filled with densely packed Chinese pinyin and math formulas.

“That’s a great idea, I’m going to make one too!” Saying so, Mengmeng tore off a piece of paper from her notebook and began to work with a pen. @@novelbin@@

Gu Zhihan saw this and immediately frowned, pressing down on Mengmeng’s hand with a stern warning, “Luo Mengmeng, you are not allowed to cheat, do you know that cheating is shameful.”

“This…” Mengmeng hesitated, caught between her dear husband and her exam scores.

“If you don’t cheat, you can’t get good scores, and if you don’t get good scores, your bottom’s not safe. Mengmeng, you must not yield to your husband!” Tong Mo, as a shameless best friend, vigorously cheered Mengmeng on, eyes twinkling at her.

However…

Mengmeng was destined to disappoint her.

“I think, I’d better listen to my husband!” Mengmeng immediately put down the paper and pen she was ready to use to cheat.

Otherwise, her husband would get mad, and when he got mad he would ignore her. Compared to being spanked until her bottom bloomed by her mother, she was more afraid of him ignoring her.

“I really despise you, a wife under strict control!”

Tong Mo rolled her eyes at her and turned her head back to arrange her cheat sheet.

Luo Mengmeng was really embarrassing their sisterhood!

Soon, the finals arrived as expected.

It’s worth mentioning that because the elementary school wing of the school was lent to the sixth graders for use, there were no separate classrooms for the final exams, so each class took the exams in their own classroom.

During the Chinese exam, Mengmeng felt somewhat at ease, but when it came to math, she could barely write an answer, continuously scratching her head in distress.
