Chapter 95: Snow Falling
Wen Yu was caught off guard by the sudden snow shower, but looking at Fu Chengque, she had it worse, a large lump of snow hitting her head, almost turning her into half a snowman.
Feeling the chill seeping through, he quickly brushed off the snow on himself and shook his clothes.
Fu Chengque also shook her head, a few lumps of snow sliding down her neck like snow-white pearls.
Holding herself and shivering, she said, “So cold… freezing!”
“Not comfortable playing these little tricks, huh!” Wen Yu remarked.
“What little tricks! This is the fun of winter!”
“This is your fun.”
“Hehe, General Wen, take a picture for me.”
Wen Yu took the phone, and the two of them moved to another tree nearby with a streetlight, taking several pictures.
The streetlight was bright, allowing him to see the white breath she exhaled and the blue sweater she had put on tonight.
Zooming in the lens, he saw the girl’s face slightly flushed, which appeared even more delicate and transparent against the white snow.
Her eyes were sparkling.
Perhaps it was shyness in front of the camera or maybe because Wen Yu had never taken a photo of her before?
He didn’t know, but he just wanted to take it slowly and enjoy the moment quietly.
By the fifth picture, Fu Chengque finally said, “That’s enough.”
Obviously, Wen Yu felt it wasn’t enough—
The moment he handed back the phone, he kicked the tree and swiftly moved out of the snowfall area.
Turning around, he saw Fu Chengque being drenched again, standing there dumbfounded, unable to help bursting into laughter.
Fu Chengque pouted, “Bold thief, you ambushed me!”
“Tit for tat!”
“…”
The girl’s cheeks flushed slightly with anger, and she scooped up several snowballs.
Seeing trouble brewing, Wen Yu ran straight home.
“Don’t run!”
“I’m off!”
Wen Yu ran as fast as he could.

That night, Fu Chengque had a long dream.
In the dream, she had already become the ruler of the world, surrounded by Xiao Gua, Fang Ling, Lu Min, and others. She sat on a golden throne, watching Wen Yu demonstrate how her army conquered territories and won more followers using a sand table.
Unified Earth!
People from all directions came to pay tribute!
The crowd shouted in unison, “Long live Empress Chengque!”
The feeling made her tremble all over with excitement.
The sound was also thunderous, causing waves of waves, making her head dizzy…
The next day, Fu Chengque struggled to get out of bed.
The weather was too cold, and it felt like she couldn’t get up once she fell asleep.
When she went out, Wen Yu had been waiting for quite a while.
“Today is the exam. If you don’t come out soon, I’ll knock on the door.”
“Sorry… the bed is so comfortable, and I’m so sleepy.”
“Are you okay? Cheer up. Once the exam is over, it’s done.”
Wen Yu looked carefully, and apart from looking a bit “radiant” compared to usual, there wasn’t much difference on her face.
Suddenly, Fu Chengque put her hands on her hips and smirked, “I’m fine!”
Wen Yu nodded and handed her a box of fragrant dumplings. “Do you want some pan-fried dumplings?”
“Have one.”
“You don’t have much of an appetite today? You’re eating so little?”
“Then I’ll steal all yours!”
“Take as much as you want. If you take a bite and drop it, I’ll pick it up and stuff it in your mouth.”
“Haha, then I’ll spit it on your face!”
“Such audacity! You graduated yesterday, and today you show no respect to your teacher!” Wen Yu exaggeratedly exclaimed, heading downstairs, saying, “Feeling hurt, feeling hurt…”
The girl followed along, “Oh no, that’s not what I meant, Professor Wen…”
The two bickered all the way to school.
The students outside the school gate were all somewhat nervous. The two checked their equipment at the gate before heading to their classroom.
The senior classes were mixed up, each going to different classrooms for the exams.
The class distribution had nothing to do with grades, but Wen Yu unexpectedly went to the legendary Class 1 of the senior year, while Fu Chengque went to Class 3. Xiao Gua, Lu Min, and Fang Ling were also distributed to different classes.
During the last moments before handing in their phones, Fu Chengque frantically typed on her phone:
【Queen’s First Harem】(5)
【Fu Chengque】: This is the biggest crisis encountered by the [Star Group of World Conquest Strategies]!
【Fu Chengque】: Everyone must remain calm and composed, we can definitely do it!
【Fu Chengque】: Once we finish this, the next target—
【Fu Chengque】: My loyal military adviser!
【Wen Yu】: It’s the boundless sea of stars!
【Fu Chengque】: Hahaha, exactly! Next is the boundless sea of stars, let us gallop freely! [Proud cat]
【Lu Min】: Hang in there! Remember to double-check.
【Fang Ling】: I’m starting to panic already…
【Xiao Gua】: I’m confident, I’ll definitely make it!
【Fu Chengque】: Let’s go, everyone!
【Fu Chengque】: [Cat GO GO]
【Wen Yu】: [Cat GO GO]
【Xiao Gua, Fang Ling, Lu Min】: [Cat GO GO]
As they handed in their phones, everyone officially welcomed the challenge—the morning exam was Chinese.
Fu Chengque glanced over the test paper and immediately felt delighted.
The questions were quite challenging, but many of them were similar to the ones on the practice papers Wen Yu had arranged for them before, mainly focused on the first half, which meant they were easy points for her.
She glanced at the essay question and felt confident in her heart.
After writing her name and class, she took a deep breath and began answering the questions.
As time passed slowly, the classroom transitioned from initial murmurs of complaint to a quiet and serious atmosphere, with only the sound of scratching pens.
After finishing another question, Fu Chengque wiped away some imaginary sweat. Somehow, she felt the room was a bit warm, and she also felt a bit parched, tired, and her head began to feel heavy.
Was it getting hot?
Was she wearing too much clothing?
But it had snowed heavily yesterday, and the snow was still melting today.
Glancing at her classmates, she noticed that they were warming up their hands or thighs after just a few questions. It couldn’t be due to the heat.
Without thinking much, she turned the exam paper over and started on the reading comprehension.
But as she read, she felt her eyes starting to blur, and her head began to buzz as if many people were arguing inside it, making it hard to focus.
She vaguely sensed that the air she was exhaling was also gradually heating up.
A sudden panic surged within Fu Chengque. Could she be falling ill?
She touched her forehead but felt it burning hot, unable to find a logical explanation.
Could it be that she overexerted herself while playing in the snow with Wen Yu last night?
It seemed highly probable!
What should she do?
Muttering to herself anxiously, she looked around, but everyone was focused on their exams, paying no attention to her.
In this unfamiliar classroom, Fu Chengque felt somewhat helpless.
After pondering for a while, she decided to continue the exam.
She needed to finish quickly and hold on until noon. By then, Wen Yu and the others would take her to see a doctor and get some medicine. As for the afternoon exam…
Maybe there was still time, maybe.
Fu Chengque steadied her increasingly restless and uneasy heart, forced herself to concentrate, and continued with the exam.
She didn’t want all the efforts she and Wen Yu had put in recently to go to waste—
Absolutely not!
