Chapter 97
Chapter 97: Penguin on Ice
The exam time passed slowly, and the surrounding examinees, after dealing with the simple questions, began to tackle the difficult ones, furrowing their brows when they started solving them.
But Fu Chengque became more and more spirited.
Her face flushed, and she wrote with great speed. Her mind was filled with water!
It felt refreshing and comfortable.
The “Super Limit” was playing its magical role, rapidly repairing her body.
The conversion of “Faith Power” continued to increase, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Fu Chengque could sense Wen Yu’s pace of answering questions from the fluctuating rate of increase—when encountering difficult problems, it increased slowly, or even didn’t increase for a while; when encountering simple questions, it increased more.
However, it seems that with more increases, the effect of each addition on recovery becomes weaker. The initial “0.1” and the current “0.1” added to the body have significantly different effects.
She thought it could increase infinitely, and she could perform well and earn thousands of yuan a month.
Well, humans, after all, have limits.
She felt a little regretful in her heart. Without Empress, she would always be troubled by these things.
She glanced around and chuckled softly, covering her mouth.

After finishing the last question, Fu Chengque wiped away a sweat.
She didn’t know if this sweat was from urgency or illness, but in any case, it didn’t feel comfortable. She wanted to go back and take a shower early.
The questions were done, but it wasn’t far from the time to hand in the paper. Fu Chengque sighed. The initial time was spent on recovery, wasting a lot of time. If she had activated the skill earlier this morning, why procrastinate until now?
Her butt was still sore from the needle prick—so painful!
Glancing sideways, she saw a familiar figure standing outside the classroom.
Their eyes met, and she smiled faintly.
She calmed her mind, quickly checked over her paper again, and then heard the chief examiner announce, “Stop writing, hand in your papers.” Soon after, the teacher left with the papers.
Fu Chengque sat back in her chair, sighing deeply.
She rested for a moment, then saw Wen Yu enter through the front door and quickly approach her, looking concerned.
“How’s your body?”
“You finished so early with your paper!”
“I’m asking about your body.”
“It’s fine!”
“Really? So fast?” Wen Yu was half doubtful. He wanted to touch her forehead, but there were people around.
Fu Chengque snorted, “Who am I? I am Empress, a mere fever, if I want to recover, I’ll recover! I’m completely fine now! Wow hahaha—”
Fu Chengque felt inflated, feeling like she was full of energy. She immediately tried to stand up, but her feet still felt weak, her thighs were sore, and halfway through, she abruptly sat back in the chair.
This time, she sat directly on the spot where she had been pricked with the needle.
In that instant, Fu Chengque felt like her soul was leaving her body.
She let out a miserable cry, burying her head on the desk, her half buttock trembling with pain.
As she trembled, she also emitted a muffled groan: “Uh uh uh uh…”
Watching this scene, Wen Yu was stunned with his mouth open. However, there was no sympathy in his heart; instead, there emerged a long sigh of regret—
My Qingmei, if I had known I would be reborn, I wouldn’t have had any contact with you. I should have regarded you as the moonlight in my heart, a cold wound.
Seeing you like this now, it really confuses me. Why did I ever think of you as distant and cold snow on the high mountain?
After being reborn, I realized, where’s the snow? You’re clearly a penguin standing on the ice and snow. With one slip, you roll down from the mountain…
At this moment, it felt like a layer of gauze was lifted from his mind, clearing away the haze and revealing a slightly more genuine image of Fu Chengque.
Looking at Fu Chengque, who was struggling with pain, he felt both angry and amused.
He couldn’t help but touch the girl’s trembling shoulder. “Are you okay…”
Fu Chengque slowly raised her head, there was a glimmer in her eyes, she bit her lower lip and stubbornly said, “Uh uh… I’m… fine.”
“You should sit down and rest for a while, since you’re fine now.”
“Okay… okay.”
Just as they finished speaking, the figures of Xiao Gua and the others appeared outside the classroom, peeking in. When they saw the two inside, they rushed over.
As soon as Xiao Gua approached, she hugged Fu Chengque’s head with concern, “Chengque, Chengque, are you okay? You look so pitiful.” Her hands felt the convulsions of Fu Chengque’s body.
Feeling anxious, she immediately turned to everyone and said, “Quick, call an ambulance for Chengque, she’s shaking with illness!”
This startled Fang Ling and Lu Min, who hurried forward to check on Fu Chengque. Feeling her trembling, their faces turned pale.
“Oh no, she’s really trembling!”
“Should I call an ambulance?” Lu Min took out her phone to dial.
At this moment, Fu Chengque hurriedly wriggled out of Xiao Gua’s embrace, peeking out from her hiding spot and revealing a slightly warm smile, reassuringly saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I accidentally hit the spot where I got the shot just now, it’s a bit painful.”
After confirming again, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Gua patted her chest, “You scared me, as long as you’re okay, it’s okay…”
Fang Ling observed for a moment and exclaimed, “Oh my, no wonder Wen Yu didn’t react, he was just laughing!”
Lu Min stepped forward and touched Fu Chengque’s forehead, “No wonder you look so much better, you’ve really cooled down.”
Xiao Gua glared at Wen Yu, “Wen Yu has no conscience, just watching Chengque in pain without comforting her.”
“That’s true!”
Wen Yu pointed at Fu Chengque, “She insisted on standing up and saying she’s fine, but then she sat back down with a grunt. I think she needs to feel a little pain, uncomfortable. Otherwise, like this morning, obviously sick, but stubbornly silent, delaying things.”
Xiao Gua let go of Fu Chengque’s hand and looked at her seriously, “Wen Yu makes sense, Chengque, you worried us to death.”
Fang Ling added, “That’s right! If you had said earlier, you could have taken cold medicine in the morning and been fine…”
Lu Min nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Fu Chengque struggled sadly and exclaimed, “I’m the patient, and you’re all bullying me together…”
“You can’t move around, rest properly.”
“Do you even know you’re a patient?”
“Silly Chengque, listen!”
Fu Chengque: “…”
Wen Yu watched with a smile.
The three immediately turned their attention to him.
“You’re still laughing, Wen Yu, you’re also responsible! So dumb!”
“If Chengque has any problems, you’ll be the first to know!”
“That’s right, Wen Yu is the dumbest.”
Wen Yu: “…”
Fu Chengque: “Hahaha…”
At the end of January, during the final exams, the empress fought while sick. The ministers of the cabinet sighed at the empress’s fearlessness and reprimanded him. The military advisor failed to observe, and the ministers were angry, scolding him harshly. The empress was greatly pleased.
Fu Chengque’s hearty laughter also completely reassured everyone.
After packing up and leaving the school gate together, they bid farewell and went their separate ways home.
On the way back, Fu Chengque kept thinking about one thing, that is, what exactly should she do to express her gratitude and apologies to Wen Yu?
Should it be grand, or simple? Can she still give a gift? Or should she just express her thanks in an ordinary way?
However, whether it’s gratitude or apology, the deeper reason “because Wen Yu kept mentioning her name and helped her recover quickly” cannot be mentioned. The reason that can be provided is just “thanks for taking care of her these past two days.” In that case…
Is it okay to simply invite him to eat a meal she cooked?
Will he like it?
