FMLRWS Chapter 649

At that moment, her phone chimed. Looking at it, Luo Xi saw that it was a message from Leng Minxing asking how her exam went.

Luo Xi felt a little aggrieved. She stepped into a quieter area and called him to say she hadn’t performed well.

Leng Minxing didn’t seem to care about her grades as much as she imagined. The earlier words were just meant to scare her. He was surprised Luo Xi took it so seriously, so he comforted her, “It’s okay, it’s not important. Where are you? I’ll come pick you up.”

Luo Xi didn’t feel relieved by his words. After giving him her location, she sat on a bench by the roadside, lost in thought. She remembered when she first returned to school and assured Leng Minxing that she would do well, and how happy she was when she had scored third place in exam for the first time.

At that time, scoring third wasn’t even as good as the worst student in the Leng family in his eyes. What about this time?

She was sure she hadn’t done as well as before. When the results came out, the embarrassment was overwhelming.

She didn’t know how long she had been sitting there until a pair of shiny black shoes stopped in front of her, startling her back to reality. She looked up.

“Why didn’t you answer your phone?” Leng Minxing’s expression was slightly stern. He had tried calling her several times, worried that she might have done something drastic because she felt she hadn’t done well on the exam! He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He had searched around when he spotted her sitting there, lost in thought, completely unaware of his approach.

Luo Xi came back to her senses and quickly glanced at her phone and saw several missed calls. She immediately felt regretful. “I had it on silent before the exam, so I didn’t notice.”

Leng Minxing let out a breath of relief. Noticing her pale face, he said, “Let’s go eat first.”

People passing by couldn’t help but glance their way. Leng Minxing’s face was so captivating that it made everyone lose interest in discussing the exam.

Luo Xi nodded, still absorbed in her worries, and walked ahead with a low mood.

She hadn’t gone far when Leng Minxing pulled her back.

She looked up in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

“Where are you going?” Leng Minxing looked at her with a slight headache.

Only then did Luo Xi look up and glance around, not understanding his meaning.

“The gate is that way.”

Leng Minxing pointed behind her.

“Oh right, we’re going to eat.” Luo Xi suddenly snapped back to reality, smacking her forehead in frustration.

Leng Minxing helplessly ruffled her hair. “Did the exam make you forget everything?”

Hearing the word “exam” made Luo Xi feel deflated like a punctured balloon. Her shoulders slumped.

Leng Minxing held her shoulders and led her towards the school gate.

“Tell me, what’s wrong?” he asked.

“I didn’t do well on the exam.” Luo Xi looked up at him weakly.

“And?” Leng Minxing frowned.

Luo Xi shook her head.

“You’re unhappy just because you didn’t do well on the exam?”

“Can I be happy if I did poorly on the exam?” Luo Xi asked him speechlessly.

Leng Minxing choked.

In his academic life, the words ‘not performing well’ simply didn’t exist.

And for him, studying was optional. He had never cared about it and couldn’t understand Luo Xi’s current feelings.

“It’s okay if you didn’t do well on the exam.” He rubbed her hair. Why be so gloomy over something so small?
