Chapter 19

"Um... If there's something to say, let's talk here. I'm reviewing my Chinese class..." Ning Yi flipped through the book in his hand and, realizing it was a geography book, quickly corrected himself, "Geography class."

Ning Yi found that the senior year curriculum here was no problem for Chinese, math, and English. What he was least confident about was history and geography...

Because the geographical locations and names here were quite different from those on Earth, he couldn't find a single familiar place name.

So even though he had almost aced geography in his previous life, here he was under tremendous pressure!

As for history, it was actually okay, except for modern history, which was completely different. Since the appearance of martial artists, the entire modern history had been almost entirely overturned. Fortunately, modern history didn't make up a large part of the exams, so it was a bit better.

However, overall, it was quite difficult to be a top student in the liberal arts class.

Li Jiawei didn't expect Ning Yi to refuse to give her face, but fortunately, she didn't get angry. After staring at Ning Yi for a while, she said, "Alright, I'll ask you a question."

Ning Yi nodded, "Go ahead."

Headache! He flipped through the geography book and found it was a nightmare. He wouldn't get a zero, but passing would be very difficult.

"Why do you always fail the English exams even though you're so good at English?" Li Jiawei asked with a hint of suspicion in her beautiful eyes.

"Well..." Ning Yi's mind raced. He had forgotten that the previous Ning Yi was a complete mess. Suddenly becoming so capable now, indeed, there was no reasonable explanation.

"What? Don't tell me you've also mutated?" Li Jiawei pouted, looking puzzled.

"What do you mean by 'mutated'?" Ning Yi frowned.

"Nothing, I heard that American scientists, based on some discoveries about energy crystals, have developed a gene mutation that can stimulate the human brain, enhancing memory or combat power. They plan to use it in the Marine Corps, but even so, it wouldn't achieve your level, right?"

"Um... Let's talk outside." Ning Yi broke into a sweat; the topic Li Jiawei was discussing was quite serious and shouldn't be discussed with an audience.

Li Jiawei smiled smugly upon hearing this.

Thus, under the envious and jealous gazes of others, Ning Yi reluctantly followed her out.

In his memory, senior year girls should all be wearing thick glasses, hunched over desks piled high with books, studying diligently.

However, Li Jiawei was different from the other girls in the class. She seemed more mature, both in her figure and speech. At least, Ning Yi didn't feel she was like a typical senior year girl.

Li Jiawei didn't have myopia. Although she was also wearing a sailor-style school uniform, Ning Yi noticed that her uniform was specially modified, with a cinched waist and different fabric, making it look much better than a regular uniform, with no wrinkles at all.

Moreover, Li Jiawei might have developed earlier than other girls. Although she was only seventeen, her figure was well-proportioned, especially her 34C bust, which, paired with her straight black bangs, gave a visual impact.

Standing next to Ning Yi, he realized she was quite tall, about 1.71 meters even in flat shoes.

In short, she was different from the slightly immature girls, a girl who could spark any imagination, so the generation gap she gave him wasn't so strong.

Standing next to her, breathing in the faint fragrance from her, was quite pleasant.

"What are you looking at?" When they reached a cluster of flowers by the rooftop of the teaching building, Li Jiawei saw Ning Yi looking at her with a half-smiling, half-serious expression, and her face turned angry.

"I'm admiring a beautiful thing," Ning Yi replied with a smile.

"Alright, stop beating around the bush. How was it last night?"

Ning Yi's eyes darted, and he shook his head, "Look, I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?"

Li Jiawei thought, right, if something had happened, would he be so calm?

But, this guy's tone now, why did it give her a sense of calm and experience? It was really strange, even making her feel like she was being led around... Was this still the Ning Yi she knew?

She cleared her throat and said, "About the question I asked you earlier, can you answer me now?"

"I can answer, but you have to promise not to tell anyone," Ning Yi replied with a hesitant look.

"Of course, do you think I'm the type to gossip?" Li Jiawei rolled her eyes at Ning Yi.

"Maybe not." Ning Yi chuckled, "If the class president doesn't gossip, why ask me such a question?"

"You scoundrel, you..." Li Jiawei's face turned red, and she clenched her fists, ready to hit him, but then thought, I'm a lady, I shouldn't fight with a scoundrel, "Do you not trust me?"

"Not at all, in this world, you are the only person I can trust," Ning Yi looked at her and said with a bitter smile, "right now."

Hearing his serious tone, Li Jiawei's face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, I can't..."

Li Jiawei originally wanted to say, "I can't bear it," but then thought it might be hurtful.

Because what Ning Yi said seemed true. He was an orphan, not well-liked by others at school, and they had only spoken a few times in the past two days.

So she changed her tone, "Since you trust me, why not tell me the truth?"

"Let's pinky swear, then I'll believe you won't tell anyone." Ning Yi raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and made a hook, smiling.

Li Jiawei was taken aback, her face turning red. It felt like she was being teased by this guy.

Before she could respond, Ning Yi laughed, "Class president, don't think too much, I have no other intentions. It's just a ritual to build mutual trust."

Li Jiawei was speechless. If she refused, it would seem like she was guilty.

So without a word, she extended her white, slender index finger and quickly hooked it with Ning Yi's.

"Can you tell me now?"

Her finger was warm and cool, very comfortable... Li Jiawei's face turned red, and she glared at Ning Yi, feeling like she had been taken advantage of.

"Class president, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself. You know, I used to be quite slow and didn't understand much, but... a few days ago, I was beaten up in an alley. My head was hit several times, and suddenly, I became enlightened. It was like some sealed memories suddenly recovered, and I understood everything."

"Suddenly enlightened?" Li Jiawei's eyebrows furrowed, "Could your memory have been sealed?"

"Memory sealed?" Now it was Ning Yi's turn to be interested, "What's that?"
