I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 743 - 725: The Academic Overachievers’ Alliance

Chapter 743: Chapter 725: The Academic Overachievers’ Alliance
Ning Xixi had a devastated expression, "You’re not planning to help me... cheat, are you? Dabai, although I really want to win, I want to win fair and square. I won’t cheat! Even if I lose, I won’t cheat!"
"It’s as if you could copy the right answers even if you did cheat," Ji Yebai retorted.
Deeply struck, Ning Xixi: "..."
"Then how can I win against her?"
"You’ll find out soon."
...
Ning Xixi was highly skeptical of Ji Yebai’s confident attitude.
However, when she returned to the Ji Family’s home, she was noticeably startled.
Yan Yichen, Wen Sinian, Xiao Xichen, Cheng Youran, Jian Yixue... and several other top students from their grade were all in the living room.
The group of study masters radiated a dazzling academic brilliance.
Madam Ji was cheerfully serving everyone desserts, flower tea, and fruits.
"This is the first time we’ve had so many guests at home!" She embraced the tray contentedly, "Our Yebai has finally grown up!"
"You... Why are you all here?" Shouldn’t everyone be in class at this hour?
Yan Yichen explained with a smile, "We are the external help Ji Yebai called in to tutor you~ Everyone here is the top student in their respective subjects."
Ji Yebai was overall first place, but his scores were not the best in every individual liberal arts subject, especially in Chinese.
The reason was that the young master couldn’t be bothered to write essays; even if he did, it would always be expository or argumentative essays. Ning Xixi had never seen him write narrative or lyrical prose since they were kids!
Ji Yebai wrapped his arm around Ning Xixi and sat down on the sofa, "Focus and ask about anything you don’t understand."
"Umm... but won’t this affect everyone’s grades?"
She was worried it would impact their performance in the exams, and she would feel guilty if they didn’t do well because of focusing on her.
Xiao Xichen burst into laughter, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry! By tutoring each other, we can also improve our own scores!"
Everyone agreed on the arrangement, and the tutoring session officially began!
Under the guidance of each study master, the effect was several times better than when Ji Yebai tutored her!
...
On the day of the final exams.
In the exam hall, Ning Xixi breathed deeply and Ji Yebai’s calm voice from that morning resonated with her, "You have a solid understanding of the basics now. What matters is your mindset. Stay calm, and taking down Su Wanxia will be no problem!"
Su Wanxia became a bit panicked upon hearing about the tutoring session with the study masters and approached Ning Xixi before the exam bell rang, trying to psych her out, "Ning Xixi, I truly admire you! Your dad is in the hospital, and you still find time to romance and banter with Ji Yebai. Don’t you care about your dad’s feelings at all?"
She waited for a long time, but Ning Xixi didn’t even lift her head to glance at her.
This feeling of being ignored really annoyed Su Wanxia!
Slap!
She hit Ning Xixi’s desk, "I’m talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Ning Xixi looked up, tidied her hair behind her ear, and smiled radiantly, "Is there a need for us to speak?"
Proud, defiant, like a Queen looking down upon the world.
Su Wanxia was dumbfounded. How did Ning Xixi manage to exude such a presence?
"Su Wanxia, your tactics are pathetically despicable! Should I have just cried like a dog next to my dad’s sickbed and give up on myself? No, I want to make my life better, live stronger, and not have him worry about me! So don’t bring up my dad. It won’t shake me in the least; it’ll only make you look low!"
