Carp, college entrance exam scores released

"Miao Xiaoyu, thanks to you this time!"

Walking out of the hotel, He Li suddenly spoke.

Miao Xiaoyu put her small hands behind her back, tilted her head, and muttered...

"Thanks to me for what? I didn't do anything!"

He Li smiled, shook his head, and didn't explain further.

Initially, after misunderstanding Li Wu, he realized that Li Wu's reaction was likely because he had recognized Miao Xiaoyu. This included the subsequent events, where Li Wu agreed to sell the medicine at fifteen times the price also because of Miao Xiaoyu.

With her by his side, things were this easy.

Although Miao Xiaoyu knew Li Wu's little intentions, she wasn't quite sure what He Li was thinking.

"Did he guess my identity?"

"Probably not, right? At most, he knows my family is rich."

"After all, from the time we met until now, the only information I've revealed is that I'm an invisible wealthy heiress!"

Miao Xiaoyu was a bit suspicious.

Little did she know, He Li only fully understood her identity after they fell in love in their previous life.

Beside them, Wu Gang listened to their conversation without understanding the underlying context, just saying excitedly: "Fifteen times the buyback price, tsk tsk, items worth over sixty thousand sold for over nine hundred thousand this time!"

"Brother Li, you're the capable one!"

"This money-making speed is faster than robbing!"

"By the way, how are we going to spend this money?"

"Do more business?" His eyes lit up.

He Li nodded; of course, the business had to continue.

If he didn't build up his career, how could he marry Miao Xiaoyu?

Her family wasn't someone just anyone could climb up to.

He Li thought about this and said: "I want to start a Studio."

"Then use this money to make games. Later, follow my instructions and go get parts for three computers to assemble..."

He arranged things methodically. Having witnessed He Li's heaven-defying money-making ability, Wu Gang had no doubts. After listening to the instructions, he drove off on his tricycle to shop.

He Li and Miao Xiaoyu went to the rented place. It still needed cleaning!

"By the way, what game are you planning to make?"

After cleaning, Miao Xiaoyu thoughtfully brought a cup of water and asked.

"Tower defense, let's call it plants vs. zombies!"

"plants vs. zombies?" Miao Xiaoyu felt it was novel.

He Li nodded. In his previous life, this game dominated the top charts for mobile and PC for years without fading. It became a massive hit across the country and even globally in a very short time, raking in crazy money for the production company.

The game itself was simple to build, and with He Li's ability plus paying for some outsourced design...

He was confident in releasing the official version before college started!

"Anyway, the concept and design ideas are all ready-made."

"Can I not copy my past life memories? Just kidding!"

He Li smiled to himself and chatted with Miao Xiaoyu about the various content of the game and the design ideas for the plants and monsters. Miao Xiaoyu listened with bright eyes, clearly interested.

When Wu Gang brought the computer parts over, the three of them set up the computers and, under He Li's arrangement, started working.

Don't let Wu Gang's rough appearance fool you...

This guy had a certain foundation in programming.

In his previous life, he had also applied for the computer science major.

Although with his current ability, it would be difficult for him to do anything critical, he had no problems with simple tasks. With him helping, He Li could reduce his burden significantly.

"Hey, Li Zi, haven't asked you yet, you said you wanted to start a game Studio, so what will our Studio be called in the future?"

While frantically typing on the keyboard, Wu Gang suddenly asked.

Beside him, He Li stared at the characters jumping on the screen and casually uttered a few words: "Carp Studio!"

"Carp?" Wu Gang's fingers paused.

To He Li's right, Miao Xiaoyu looked shy.

Neither she nor Wu Gang were stupid. Carp? Wasn't this just a combination of the last characters of He Li's and Miao Xiaoyu's names? Wu Gang, who clearly heard the implication, immediately showed a knowing grin.

Miao Xiaoyu's small ears turned red, and her eyes were full of joy.

"Is He Li implying something to me?"

"Hee hee, he really understood my feelings."

"Carp Studio... Carp... Hehehe!"

She let her mind wander, not even noticing that the plant she was drawing on the computer was crooked.

It wasn't until He Li stopped his fingers to relax and caught a glimpse of Miao Xiaoyu's absent-minded look that he leaned over to remind her: "What are you thinking about? You drew it crooked!" The somewhat helpless voice woke up the distracted Miao Xiaoyu.

She suddenly came to her senses, but her heart tightened.

Because He Li had leaned over, and they were very close.

She could clearly feel the warm breath He Li exhaled.

That breath made her heart race like a startled deer, nervous and exciting.

"I... I'll fix it!" She resisted the shyness, feigning composure to restrain her emotions as she began to redraw. He Li looked at her pink face so close by and her glowing white neck...

Smelling the fragrance emanating from her, he also felt a bit distracted and quickly pulled his neck back.

For a moment, the two flustered people had no topic of conversation.

But the two of them would peek at each other from time to time.

Every time their eyes met, Miao Xiaoyu would quickly lower her head and then giggle like a silly person.

However, He Li wasn't much better...

Looking at the way the two were flirting with their eyes.

Feeling the sickeningly sweet atmosphere of love in the small room...

Wu Gang felt terrible!

He felt that staying here for even one more second was redundant!

He wanted to get away, but didn't want to break the atmosphere between He Li and the girl.

He could only turn his pain into strength, frantically typing on the keyboard, immersing himself in work to find relief!

However, this was just the beginning.

For the next several days, He Li and Miao Xiaoyu would either bring food for each other or buy things the other liked to drink. Even though there was always a portion for him each time, he would rather not have it, just wishing the two would quiet down.

This single dog really couldn't take it anymore!

Fortunately, after being tortured for more than ten days...

Such days finally ushered in a brief respite.

Because the day for the college entrance exam results to be released had arrived!

The class group chat, which had been silent for days, became lively again...

"Hahaha, 546 points, fortunately, it's not bad!"

"Tch, what are you proud of? I have one point more than you!"

"I heard School Beauty Liu scored 598!"

"Two points shy of six hundred, tsk, as expected of School Beauty Liu."

"Hehehe, our class monitor seems to have scored 619!!!"

"Over six hundred? Geez, that's a score I can only look up to!"

"As expected of the class monitor, his strength is no joke!"

...

Looking at everyone in the group discussing and praising himself, Li Lingjie, who was staring at his phone screen, grinned and replied with a hint of smugness: "It's nothing, I just studied a little hard and scored like this."

"Actually, this score isn't considered high!"

These words were full of humblebragging.

The classmates were a bit speechless.

But soon, a bombshell was thrown into the group.

It also shattered Li Lingjie's smugness just now...

【Wu Gang: 619 is indeed not high.】

【Wu Gang: After all, our class still has someone with 719!】

After the two messages were sent, the whole group went quiet.

The next second...

"Holy crap!!! 719 points???"

"Woodcutter, are you sure you aren't seeing things?"

"Damn, this score must be the Top Scholar of the entire province, right?"

"I've never seen such a high score in my life!"

"Damn, aren't you guys curious about who scored it?"

"Does this even need thinking? Who else could it be besides He Li?"

"It's truly outrageous. I heard He Li was still thinking about confessing on the day of the college entrance exam, which caused him to underperform!"

"And he still scored over seven hundred even after underperforming? Is there any justice?"

...

The news exploded by Wu Gang caused the group messages to turn into 99+ in minutes and also caused Li Lingjie to be forgotten. At this moment, he was staring fixedly at his phone screen, his expression looking as ugly as could be.

He said his score of 619 wasn't high, just as a figure of speech.

Did you really have to bring out someone even higher to slap his face?

And it was a full hundred points higher?
