Chapter 123: The final exam is coming up!

Final exam!

The midterm exam—I seemed to have only taken one session, and after that I missed all the following ones; there were just too many things going on, and now the final exam is here again!

Chu Miaomiao was very nervous, because she wanted to get a good grade; with Qin Miao not around, her goal for herself was to come in first!

However, everyone else was also studying hard, especially Zhao Wanli—for some reason, he was pumped up like he'd been injected with chicken blood, putting all his energy into studying; I'm really afraid he'll surpass me!

"Like that, I'll come help you review!"

"Don't, you have more important things to do, my affairs……"

"Your affairs are my most important thing right now; nothing else matters!" Qin Miao said, opening his lunch box: "Come, let's eat first; after we finish, we'll review together!"

On Chu Miaomiao's face, she first froze, then broke into a flower-like smile: "Good."

This feeling of being loved by someone is truly wonderful!

Two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, two bowls of rice; Chu Miaomiao portioned out part of it for Qin Miao—for the two of us now, this gesture has become second nature, just like…… an old married couple who've been together for years.

"San Shui brother, after the exam we should start winter break; you…… are you still going back to the Capital?"

"Of course, I definitely have to spend New Year's at home; on the second day of the first lunar month, I still have to go to your house to pay a New Year visit."

The second day of the first lunar month is Son-in-Law's Day!

Hearing Qin Miao say that, Chu Miaomiao smiled even more brightly.

"But…… there might also be other things, possibly even going abroad; if we go abroad again, we'll continue going together, on a publicly funded trip, treating it as a honeymoon…… cough cough cough……"

Talking about a honeymoon like that is nonsense; we already had one last time, and doing it again would imply we married, divorced, and remarried—unlucky, unlucky.

Chu Miaomiao lifted her head, her eyes full of affection: "San Shui brother……"

"Hurry up and eat; after we finish, we can continue reviewing our lessons."

"Mm."

Outside, the cold wind howled; inside the room, the two of them sat together.

"Come, look at this problem; if it's a multiple-choice question, we can completely substitute a few special values—this way it's quick and good……"

Under the lamp light, listening to Qin Miao's analysis for her, Chu Miaomiao felt as if she had opened a new door; this explanation was even better than what the teacher said……

Time flew by quickly, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock……

When Qin Miao realized it, he glanced at the time: it was eleven-thirty!

"Oh no, the dormitory is locked!"

"Huh? Really, what can we do? My older sister's side……" Chu Miaomiao also became anxious.

"Then just stay here and make do for the night." Qin Miao said.

"This…… would that be not okay? Just…… one bed."

"What are you thinking? You sleep here, I'll go find a place to sleep in the lab."

Qin Miao was familiar with multiple labs across several departments; he could just find a random spot and sleep there for the night.

Saying that, Qin Miao went to look for his military coat.

Squeak, squeak, squeak……

Suddenly, a sound rang out; at the corner of the wall, a pointy-headed, pointy-brained creature poked its head out.

"A mouse!" Chu Miaomiao exclaimed; in the next instant, her body clung to Qin Miao.

This creature must be starving; despite the light still on in the room, it couldn't wait to come out looking for food, aiming straight at the two lunch boxes that hadn't been washed yet. Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Its speed was lightning fast!

Qin Miao could only hold Chu Miaomiao with one hand and grab a broom with the other, swinging it hard at the mouse's head; in the next moment, the mouse was flung away, landed, kicked its four legs, and lay completely still.

"Miaomiao, come down, it's fine. I'll plug the hole later."

"I…… I'm still scared……"

"Sigh, alright then, I won't leave, I won't leave."

"Okay……"

After saying that, Chu Miaomiao eagerly went to make the bed; there wasn't even a hint of being frightened in her action!

Qin Miao used the broom to push the mouse out, then found something to temporarily block the hole, washed his hands, and when he returned, the bed was already made.

"San Shui brother, will you sleep inside or outside?"

"Anywhere is fine."

"Oh, then…… please turn off the light."

Qin Miao pulled the light cord, climbed onto the bed, took off only his outer coat, slipped into the blankets, and three seconds later, snoring sounded.

Under the blankets, Chu Miaomiao widened both eyes, staring at the ceiling above; this scene was completely different from what she had imagined many times over……! Is this San Shui brother completely lacking in romance……?

Chu Miaomiao slowly turned her head to look at the sleeping Qin Miao, then…… she slowly made a hole in her own blanket and slowly reached over…… Finally, she successfully executed a strategic shift.

In this freezing weather, it's indeed only warm when you snuggle together.

Soon, Chu Miaomiao fell into a deep sleep, and in her dream she revealed a sweet smile.

Beside her, the snoring suddenly stopped; Qin Miao opened his eyes, glanced at the girl beside him, his heart torn between beast and not-quite-beast, he thought, 'Forget it—during this exam period I can't get distracted; after the exam……'

The next day, when Qin Miao woke up, Chu Miaomiao had already prepared breakfast and was continuing to study at her desk.

"Miaomiao, you're so diligent!"

"Mm, the final exam—who isn't nervous? I heard the library over there has opened a special reading room for people who study all night……"

"Oh, I was thinking of accompanying you to the library to study, or should we just keep studying here?"

After breakfast, we opened the textbooks and continued helping Chu Miaomiao review; but…… less than half an hour later, someone came running over.

"San Shui, San Shui! The French guy is here!"

"Miaomiao, wait for me; I'll take care of the French guy as fast as I can!"

"Settled, what does that mean?"

Seeing Qin Miao about to leave, Chu Miaomiao hurriedly stood up, helped him put on his military coat, and even before he went out, she tiptoed up to kiss his cheek.

Pop……

Qin Miao blushed.

Hafei, inside the meeting room.

Upon learning that this side hopes to increase the power of the Ahye 1C engine, Turbomeca Company attaches great importance, and Ms. Sonia personally led the team here……

With Auguste's introduction, the French beauty with blond hair, blue eyes, and long legs, Sonia-Mutong stood up.

Turbomeca Company's founder Joseph-Steloski is advanced in age; as early as 1973, the company hired Gerard-Petica to take charge, this is only temporary, old Joseph's daughter Sonia-Mutong quickly rose within the company, being groomed as successor.

They saw the potential of the East's vigorous development and also hoped to deepen cooperation with the East; they attached great importance to this engine's improvement, to the extent that the company's successor personally led the team over.

"Everyone, I hope this is a pleasant cooperation; now, please present your improved technology……"

"Have you brought all the original data?" a voice interrupted her words, making her frown; for an elegant lady, this is quite unreasonable!
