Chapter 98
Chapter 98: Are You Cursing Me in Your Heart?!
After returning home, Fu Chengque took a shower first, but this time she didn’t lie in bed.
Unlike last New Year’s Day when she pretended to be sick and lied down!
Her parents hadn’t returned yet. She went back to her bedroom, sat on the chair, and stared blankly. She noticed Wen Yu gesturing at her from the window opposite, indicating for her to lie down.
Oh, so naggy.
She was perfectly fine, so why lie down!
While her mind resisted, her body slid under the covers when she heard the words “if you don’t want to lie down, then take the medicine.”
Oh, terrifying!
Sometimes Wen Yu can be quite intimidating, what’s that word… oh yeah, awe-inspiring.
Wow, she’s been sounding quite intellectual lately, effortlessly spouting out four-character idioms, wow—just said another one!
Fu Chengque felt delighted, feeling proud of herself.
This indicates that her recent adherence to principles has been good, her cultural achievements steadily advancing. It won’t be long before her intelligence occupies the heights of humanity. She certainly owes a lot to her childhood friend next door, he’s helped her a lot.
Decided, this time she’ll show off a bit and cook a good meal for him.
What does Wen Yu like to eat again…
【Faith Power +1】
Oh! Another one!
These occasional prompts in her mind are quite reassuring…

After Fu Chengque lay down, she didn’t move anymore, so Wen Yu stopped watching her.
Fortunately, the fever-reducing injection was timely, and Fu Chengque’s body was fine on its own, otherwise it would have been difficult to say.
He was a bit worried during the afternoon exam if she could hold on, so he took a look early, seeing Fu Chengque answering questions seriously before feeling relieved. He didn’t think this would affect his grades in any way. In math, if you can solve the problem, you’ll solve it, and the ones you get wrong are just hard to understand no matter how you look at them.
As for Fu Chengque’s illness, it was probably from playing in the snow yesterday. He just didn’t know if it was her own fall or the consequence of the kick from behind by Wen Yu…
Ashamed.
Regardless of their usual relationship or their childhood friendship, just that one kick made him feel at least half responsible today, taking care and worrying was only natural.
It’s good that she’s okay.
Although the wilted Fu Chengque looks pitiful and adorable, he now prefers to see her happy and lively, foolishly striving to “unify the world,” which puts him more at ease.
Phew—
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the gradually melting snow outside, inexplicably happy.

The next morning, the two left together.
“Oh! President Wen, good morning!!”
“Oh, President Fu’s recovery is pretty good, are you at full health now?”
“Absolutely!” Fu Chengque laughed heartily, showing off her slightly thin arms even in thick clothes. “Look at this strength! I can punch a tiger to death with one punch!”
“President Fu is so vigorous!”
“It’s nothing!”
“Brother Fu’s excellence reminds me of the time when I killed a rhinoceros with one palm…”
“Huh?” Fu Chengque raised an eyebrow. “Brother Wen is amazing. I once saw an elephant fighting a rhinoceros. The elephant used its size advantage to overpower the rhinoceros, but I got angry and pointed at the elephant, killing it with one finger. But I’ve never really tried with a rhinoceros.”
Wen Yu glanced at her and asked, “Did you take your medicine this morning?”
Fu Chengque immediately blushed, mumbling, “You’re being unfair…”
“Who’s being unfair? I’m just asking if you took your medicine.”
“…”
“Did you take it?”
“I did…”
“That’s good.”
The two strong individuals walked downstairs side by side. As the cold wind blew, they both shivered.
Wen Yu tightened his scarf, glanced at the gloomy sky, kicked the dirty snow at his feet, and said, “It’s so cold. It’s really cold this year.”
Fu Chengque glanced at the scarf, feeling a slight tug in her heart. She discreetly looked away and said, “Yeah, if I had superpowers, I would swap our weather with America’s!”
“America has winter too.”
“…” Fu Chengque awkwardly chuckled. “Hehehe…”
Wen Yu looked at her speechlessly, not saying anything.
But Fu Chengque felt a bit numb because she received some genuine information:
【Faith Power +1】
【Transformation…】
Fu Chengque: “…”
She exclaimed and pouted, “You cursed at me!”
“I didn’t say anything!”
“You called me dumb in your heart!”
“I didn’t!”
【Faith Power +1】
【Transformation…】
Fu Chengque: “…”
Feeling annoyed, she decided to be generous. The Empress had a broad mind and wouldn’t dwell on it!
If she dwelled on it, she’d be driven crazy!
The two walked slowly. Exam days were slightly later than usual classes, making it much more relaxed.
Today’s exam included comprehensive subjects and English. Wen Yu and Fu Chengque were both liberal arts students.
Wen Yu has always been self-aware: in liberal arts, there are not only top students but also struggling ones, just like him and Fu Chengque.
In Chinese and comprehensive subjects, there were always some points to gain, unlike math and physics, where no points meant zero, even if you wrote the word “solution.”
They also met Xiao Gua and the others, exchanging greetings before returning to their classrooms to wait for the exam to begin.
Fu Chengque’s body was almost fully recovered, which made her somewhat regretful. She wondered if she had activated her skills too early. If she had known, she would have endured a shot instead.
It felt like a waste…
Today, Wen Yu wasn’t too worried about her. The bonus appeared after a long interval, making him wonder if he was worried about her or silently calling her stupid…
With such a powerful skill, who knew what would happen if it were “memory enhancement” or “whole-body reaction”? Would she become a superhero?
But then, she would mess up this exam!
Oops, the exam was important!
***
The exams of the day went smoothly, without any unexpected incidents. After the English exam in the afternoon, some students couldn’t help but cheer.
Outside the classroom of Class Four, students gathered in groups, discussing the exam and their plans for the upcoming break.
Wen Yu and his friends also gathered together, chatting and laughing.
“Chengque Chengque, how did your exam go!” Xiao Gua held Fu Chengque’s hand, delighted to see her looking healthy. “I think I did great!”
Fu Chengque smiled brightly. “Really! That’s great. I also feel pretty good… Haha, I have a feeling that our ‘Star Group of World Conquest Strategies’ is about to conquer Class Four!”
Fang Ling cheered, “The ‘Star Group of World Conquest Strategies’ will conquer Class Four!”
Surrounded by curious glances, everyone whispered to each other.
Lu Min felt embarrassed and gestured for them to lower their voices. “Keep it down, guys…”
After Class Four was completely cleared out, everyone worked together to restore the classroom to its original layout, moving the desks back together.
Wen Yu and Fu Chengque were seated together again.
Teacher Chen hadn’t arrived yet, and everyone’s relaxed expressions filled the room with lively chatter.
Wen Yu greeted with a smile, “Hey, desk mate, long time no see.”
“It’s been ages, at least several seconds.”
“Hahaha!”
He sat back in his familiar seat, couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Fu Chengque — the feeling of “long time no see.”
With just one look, she blushed.
Fu Chengque couldn’t stand it anymore, glared at him, and changed the subject to divert attention.
She whispered, “Wen Yu, do you have any plans for the winter vacation?”
