Chapter 165: An Unexpected Score
“Beep beep beep… beep beep beep…”
As the morning alarm rang, the two who had stayed up late last night finally opened their eyes sleepily.
“Mo Ziyang… your alarm…”
With a tired face and even dark circles under her eyes, Lin Muxi turned over unhappily. She used her small hand to gently push her good bro, wanting him to quickly turn the alarm off.
After being worn out until late last night, she was now so sleepy.
Hearing the complaint from his little wife beside him, the just-awakened Mo Ziyang quickly turned off the alarm on his phone.
He gently stroked Lin Muxi’s head and coaxed this silly girl back to sleep again. Only then did Mo Ziyang slowly lift the blanket and quietly sit up from the bed.
“Huh… without realizing it, we actually slept until ten o’clock.”
Looking at the time on his phone, he couldn’t help but sigh at how crazy things got in the room with Lin Muxi last night.
If possible, once Lin Muxi wakes up, he should also take the chance to change the bedsheets and covers.
After washing up in the bathroom, just as he was about to head out to buy breakfast, a call that should have come minutes ago finally rang on Mo Ziyang’s phone.
“Hello, Mom, what’s up?”
“Mo’er, today is the day the college entrance exam results are released. Have you and Lin Muxi checked your scores yet?”
On the other side, Xu Lanyi’s voice carried obvious excitement, as if she was waiting for Mo Ziyang to tell her some good news.
As for his mom’s little thought, Mo Ziyang didn’t even need to guess.
Calling so early in the morning in such a hurry could only mean she wanted to know if he and Lin Muxi could get into the same university.
Unfortunately, that little girl was still fast asleep in bed, with no sign of waking up at all.
“Not yet, Mom. Lin Muxi hasn’t gotten up.”
“I… I see. Then once you check, remember to tell me and your dad your scores, okay? Your dad and I are busy right now, so I’ll hang up first.”
The moment she heard Lin Muxi was still sleeping, her tone of excitement instantly carried a trace of disappointment. Listening to it almost made Mo Ziyang laugh out loud.
Sometimes, his mom was just too easy to read.
Instead of rushing to the computer to check, after washing up, Mo Ziyang changed clothes and went downstairs to the noodle stall. He bought two bowls of beef noodles for breakfast before going back upstairs, ready to check the results.
The admission score for Beijing University’s science track usually hovered around 610 points in past years.
For both Lin Muxi and Mo Ziyang, as long as they scored above 620, Beijing University wouldn’t be a problem.
Entering the room slowly, he glanced at the still-sleeping Lin Muxi on the bed, then sat down in front of the computer.
The password wasn’t hard to guess. Just try birthdays, phone numbers, QQ accounts, and so on.
Sure enough, after a few tries, he found out her computer password was simply her phone number.
So Mo Ziyang directly pulled out Lin Muxi’s exam admission card, opened the education exam website, and started checking her scores.
Before long…
“Lin Muxi, Lin Muxi…”
“Mm…? What is it…”
Still deep in sleep, Lin Muxi heard a string of soft calls to her name. She slowly opened her eyes in confusion.
She really couldn’t understand. After he tortured her so much last night, today he still wouldn’t let her sleep properly, constantly calling her name.
In her half-asleep daze, she heard her good bro keep repeating something about 657.
“What 657? I don’t understand.”
Lin Muxi slowly sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes, and looked confused. From her blank face, it was clear she still hadn’t figured out what her good bro was talking about.
Until Mo Ziyang said clearly in front of her.
“You. College entrance exam. 657 points.”
“Huh… college entrance exam… huh?”
Lin Muxi.exe not responding.
Only after hearing Mo Ziyang repeat the words several times did the dazed Lin Muxi finally remember that today was the day for checking the exam results.
And now it was already eleven o’clock, which meant she had overslept by a whole hour.
“I… I got 657?”
Once she woke up properly, still not fully believing it, Lin Muxi asked her good bro again with a questioning tone.
This time, Mo Ziyang simply took a screenshot of her score and sent it to her phone. Only then did Lin Muxi finally see her real score and ranking clearly.
Wow, almost 40 points above the cutoff.
That meant getting into Beijing University was basically guaranteed.
“I… I made it, I passed the line!”
Excited, Lin Muxi jumped straight up from the bed, completely forgetting the tiredness from last night. She was cheering and bouncing with joy.
In her happiness, she quickly leaned close to her good bro, her eyes shining like she was staring at some tasty prey.
“What about you? What’s your score?”
“Me?”
Seeing Lin Muxi’s expectant look, Mo Ziyang didn’t even need to guess. He knew this girl was just waiting for him to say his score was lower than hers, so she could tease him.
But too bad, this time Lin Muxi’s little plan was about to fail.
“Not that high, only 661.”
“Ha, I knew it, you couldn’t possibly… wait, what?! How much did you say?”
Finally realizing what he had said, Lin Muxi’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her good bro.
Then, when she saw his phone, she quickly grabbed it from his hand. After looking at it, she realized he wasn’t lying at all.
Her little head turned stiffly, eyes full of shock.
“You… you didn’t cheat or something, did you?”
“Do you even know what you’re saying?”
This sudden line made Mo Ziyang burst out laughing.
Now the truth was undeniable. Faced with solid proof, Lin Muxi had no way to argue back. She could only sit on the bed, fiddling with her fingers, looking pitifully at her good bro.
“I… um, can we delay it until tomorrow night?”
Thinking about the bet she made with Mo Ziyang, and remembering how last night he looked like he wanted to “make up” for all the previous days at once, Lin Muxi was now more scared than ever.
After one night of that, her legs were already weak. If her good bro did it again, she probably wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed today.
But Mo Ziyang only showed a mysterious smile.
He slowly sat down beside Lin Muxi.
“Wifey, since when do debts get carried over to the next day?”
“Eh—?”
In an instant, panic flashed across Lin Muxi’s eyes, but in the next second, her good bro had already pushed her back onto the bed.
“Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time before lunch.”
“Wait, wait, I… I really don’t have the strength anymore…”
