Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Struck Gold!

Facing the surprised gazes of everyone, Lin Yi didn't care at all, but stood up with a smile and walked to the front row.

In his hand, there was obviously the small paper bag containing the special cold capsules.

This originally had nothing to do with Lin Yi, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

He had taken one of the two cold capsules he prepared in the morning, leaving one, just right to use Xiao Zihan for an experiment to see if this pill would work on others!

If this pill can cure a cold, then he could make a fortune with it in the future!

"The Strict Teacher" also glanced at Lin Yi somewhat puzzledly, wondering if this guy knew something.

After all, she knew that the boys secretly called Xiao Zihan ugly. Usually, the boys wished they could avoid her when they saw her.

So, under the surprised gazes of the teacher and classmates, Lin Yi naturally walked to Xiao Zihan's desk and handed the paper bag to her:

"Here, this medicine is quite effective, I took one this morning."

Lin Yi wasn't lying; this medicine was indeed effective, and he did take one in the morning.

Xiao Zihan, who was covering her mouth and lowering her head, suddenly saw a fair palm appear in front of her, and for a moment, she was stunned.

Then she shyly looked up at the tall, handsome boy in front of her, her cheeks instantly reddening.

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head repeatedly, softly saying thank you but no, then quickly lowered her head again as if something had dawned on her.

With that shake of her head, the long hair that was covering her face slipped to both sides, suddenly revealing her entire face.

Although she quickly lowered her head again, Lin Yi, who glanced over unintentionally, was dumbfounded!

Because of the recent cough, the shabby outdated glasses were taken off by Xiao Zihan and placed on the desk, revealing an unobstructed view of her face for Lin Yi.

Her skin was porcelain white, her face as delicate as a lotus flower, with a hint of shyness in her bewildered eyes, it's beyond what could be described as breathtaking beauty.

"Wha-what the hell! Am I seeing things? This heck of a 'ugly girl'? Are all the guys in the class blind, or is it my aesthetic that has a problem?"

The "Old Class Teacher" on the side didn't see Lin Yi's expression due to the angle, so he directly said:

"Since Lin Yi has the medicine, Xiao Xiao, you should take it. Alright, Lin Yi, hurry back and prepare for the exam."

The teacher's words brought Lin Yi back to his senses. After placing the paper bag with the capsule on Xiao Zihan's desk, he took a deep look at her lowered head before turning back to his seat.

"Boss, you are awesome, you're really indiscriminate!"

As soon as he returned to his seat, his buddy Li Huiqun gave him a thumbs up and couldn't help but exclaim.

But Lin Yi wasn't in the mood to deal with this guy. Right now, his mind was filled with the breathtaking face of Xiao Zihan.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Zihan and the current school flower were on completely different levels.

Lin Yi was certain that if Xiao Zihan replaced her loose school uniform with a dress, and removed those outdated glasses, she would be much more beautiful than those first-tier female celebrities!

As Lin Yi returned to his seat and gazed absently at Xiao Zihan's somewhat insecure figure, Xiao Zihan in the front row put her glasses back on and then carefully took out the capsule.

After hesitating for a while, as if she made up her mind, she took her paint-chipped water bottle and swallowed the medicine.

Seeing this, the "Strict Teacher" couldn't help but sigh inwardly, hoping this poor but strong-willed girl would have a good future, but hoped she wouldn't end up with someone like Lin Yi.

As the pill went down, Xiao Zihan suddenly felt her mind become clear.

The tickling sensation in her throat vanished instantly, but having always cured colds with hot water, she just thought this cold medicine was a kind of precious good medicine.

"Never thought I was fooled by this girl's disguise, who knew the Golden Phoenix was right beside me all the time!"

Everyone loves beauty, and Lin Yi, at this age, was just entering the age of blossoming feelings, naturally having a strong desire to possess beautiful things, perhaps even love at first sight isn't an exaggeration.

Right now, Lin Yi had no mind for the exam. Though ten minutes had passed since the exam began, this guy hadn't even written his name.

His heart suddenly filled with a protective urge, thinking about how to claim this hidden Snow Lotus for himself before others discovered her!

But moments later, he felt frustrated. If he had discovered this earlier, it would have been fine. The road is long, and there's no rush.

But with only a week left until the college entrance exams, with Xiao Zihan's scores, she could easily sail into any domestic university!

Looking at his own blank test paper…

"No, I have to go to college! I must score something impressive! By then, I'll apply to the same university as Xiao Zihan!"

Looking at Xiao Zihan's silhouette, Lin Yi was filled with a protective urge, while also setting a goal for himself.

Clenching his teeth, he looked at the test paper before him, thinking, "To get a perfect score, it starts with this test paper in front of me!"

However, the next moment, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh! Though I know every letter on this English test paper, when put together, I can't make sense of it..."

Suddenly, his eyes brightened, followed by a surge of joy in his heart:

"Hell yes, how did I forget about the system! Now I have the system, as if scoring high marks could be a problem?"

Thinking this, Lin Yi was filled with fighting spirit, also starting to plan how to use the system to score well!

But try as he might, he couldn't come up with a clue.

Should he decompose and recycle the test paper during the exam? But, setting aside if it would work, decomposition and re-construction can only be done once a day, while exams involve more than one subject a day.

So, entangled for nearly two hours, the test paper in front remained blank except for Lin Yi's name added during a walk-around from the "Strict Teacher."

Even his previous methods of drawing lots for multiple-choice questions and copying comprehension sections for writing tasks were absent.

Ding-a-ling~

With the sound of the bell, the exam was over. Watching as the blank test paper was taken away, Lin Yi showed no expression, still sitting there worriedly, not even bothering when Li Huiqun invited him to the bathroom, merely waving him off impatiently.

Currently, he might say he has this awesome system, yet is clueless on how to improve his scores!

And while he was deep in frustration, suddenly he felt a presence appear in front of him, which made him frown immediately:

"Damn it, Li Huiqun, can't you go to the bathroom by yourself? Useless, clinging to me... ugh... oh, it's Xiao Zihan, hehe, what's up, anything you need?"
