After enduring a difficult week, it was finally time for class. Helian Chen had never looked forward to class so much before. Indeed, the power of love is truly great.

On Monday, as usual, He Lianchen woke up early. However, during the flag-raising ceremony, the leader announced that mid-term exams would be held at the end of this month.

"Midterm exams..."

Shen Qinghan suddenly stood beside him and whispered, "What? Do you have confidence?"

To be honest, no. Despite living two lives, he hadn't learned anything at all.

"How about this, let's make a bet. If your grades improve by ten places this time, I will fulfill one of your wishes, how does that sound?"

"What if we can't achieve it?"

"I believe in you!"

Huo Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm, alright, it's a deal!"

Shen Qinghan chuckled quietly in a place where He Lianchen couldn't see. Indeed, he was just a child.

In the following period of time, Helian Chen dedicated himself to studying diligently. His English and science were not considered poor, perhaps due to his innate talent. He could understand and grasp these scientific concepts with just a glance. However, his biggest concern was the liberal arts subjects.

In the office, "Teacher~ Do I really have to carry so many things? Can't it be less?"

"I have asked the teacher, and these have already been greatly condensed, highlighting the most crucial points."

"Pervert!"

Shen Qinghan turned around silently and glanced at the political teacher behind her. "Ahem, mind your manners. Keep studying a bit longer, and after school, I'll treat you to a meal."

Wang Teacher across the table raised his head and said, "Shen Teacher, you seem to have a good relationship with Helian classmate." Relatives, right?

The two of them looked at each other, "We... um, it's quite good. Heliang is a very well-behaved student."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qinghan felt as if all the teachers in the office were looking at him. Embarrassed, he awkwardly touched his head and said, "Hehehe..."

Good? Oh my god, everyone shook their heads at this new teacher. You'll know after a while! When Helian Chen heard Shen Qinghan say that he was good... he felt a bit embarrassed. Acting as if he hadn't heard, he lowered his head and began studying.

After school, Shen Qinghan took He Lianchen out to eat as planned. They went to a streetside stall, and it seemed that Shen Qinghan enjoyed eating this kind of food. He Lianchen silently remembered it in his heart. After finishing the meal, they ate to their heart's content, and He Lianchen also remembered it almost perfectly.

"Why are you eating so little? Don't you like it? Then next time I'll take you somewhere else, I know there are a lot of good food there."

He's actually a foodie. "No, it's quite delicious," Helian Chen replied, but he was more concerned about the words "next time."

Helian Chen looked at Shen Qinghan seriously. Shen Qinghan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Why did this person seem like two different people, both inside and outside of school? One moment, he's playful, and the next moment, he's mature. "Phew..."

What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing, just a little hot." Can I admit that I was a little bit flirted with?

After finishing their meal, the two of them went their separate ways. As He Lianchen watched Shen Qinghan's silhouette, he thought to himself that he would stay up late tonight to memorize all those useless subjects in the liberal arts, all for the sake of that bet.

On the way home, Helian Chen strolled leisurely and pondered about life. Although he was currently a sophomore in high school, he was not truly seventeen; he was already a man in his thirties... Ahem, it wouldn't be good to continue relying on the Hua family's money. In this lifetime, he not only had to obtain his own family's company but also start his own business. He couldn't give Helian Siyu any chance.

When he got home, Heli Chen went to find his father. Actually, Heli Chen was already quite familiar with the company, but he still had to put on a show.

"Familiar with the company?"

"Mhmm."

"Of course, it's fine! You're not that young anymore, I was even afraid that you wouldn't agree! Alright, alright, if you're willing, then I can rest assured."

"Yeah, I'll come over whenever I have time. I'm going to read now, goodnight."

"Ah, go to bed earlier."

Helian Shan smiled contentedly as he watched the figure of his son recede. Indeed, he is my son, a true Helian Shan! There will always be someone to carry on the family name, there is no need to worry anymore.

Over the next two weeks, Helian Chen studied tirelessly, determined to make up for all the knowledge he had missed. Whether he would succeed or not remained uncertain, but it was already sufficient for the mid-term exam.

At the end of the month, the mid-term exams arrived as scheduled. This was the first time He Lianchen felt nervous, as it was closely related to his happiness! Shen Qinghan was also nervous, but he was nervous for He Lianchen. The teachers in the office were all aware that He Lianchen had started studying diligently this month and vowed to make progress. If he didn't do well on the exam, it would be a slap in the face!

After three days, the midterm exams finally came to an end. Since it wasn't a particularly large-scale exam, the results were only announced within the class.

Shen Qinghan was even more nervous now. He had just received his test results and hadn't opened them yet. He tapped the table and said, "Classmates, how do you think you performed this time?"

Then there was a wave of sighs below, and the general content was probably, "I did really poorly on this exam." "I'm definitely doomed this time." "I've run out of pocket money for this month again."

Shen Qinghan was speechless. He had just come out of his student days himself, so he couldn't really say anything about those who didn't perform well in exams or even those who excelled.

Alright, stop pretending. We can be considered an excellent class, so it's embarrassing. Let's skip the formalities and announce the grades directly, following our usual practice, and see the overall ranking based on the total scores.

Clearing his throat, "First place, Yan Yan; second place, Li Feifei; third place, ...........; the above students are the top twenty this time, now, let's start from the last place."

There was another commotion among the classmates. "Quiet, last place goes to Yuting Yu, second to last is Liuchao Yu, third to last... eighth to last," Shen Qinghan glanced at Helian Chen, "Eighth place is Jiang Qi, ninth is Lin Xiaoxiao; tenth place..." Shen Qinghan smiled, "Li Wen."

At this moment, some classmates finally realized, "Hey? Why is Lord Banhun not here?" "Hey? Yeah, where is Heli'an Chen?"

Everyone, quiet down. The 11th place is... The 20th place goes to Helián Chen.

The classroom suddenly fell silent, and then Yan Yan stood up and shouted, "Achen! You made it into the top 25! Oh my goodness!"

Alright, everyone, listen to me. This time, the teacher must give a big praise to student Helian for his tremendous improvement. Everyone must learn from him! And Yan Yan, you did a great job too! Please take your seat quickly.

With those words spoken, another round of laughter erupted throughout the room.

After class, Helian Chen chased after Shen Qinghan and ran out, saying, "How was it? Aren't I amazing?"

Shen Qinghan was also generous in her praise, "Hmm, you're truly amazing. You're really intelligent. I took a look, and although your progress in humanities is only average, your progress in science is tremendous. This kind of talent is rare among others. You must grasp it well and continue to work hard in your studies in the future."

"Would you be happy if I did well on the exam?"

"Of course I'm happy."

"I will definitely do well on all future exams."

Shen Qinghan;... something is not right. "Hmm, well, if you can think like that, it's fine. By the way, I promised you that I would fulfill one of your wishes, so tell me. As long as it's not too much, I can accept it."

Helian Chen suddenly had a creepy smile on his face. "Hehehe, it's Friday today. I will take you home and tell you on the way."

".. Laughing so happily (slyly)... Can I take it back?"

"Hehe, of course I'm happy. Well then, I'll go back to class first."

Debt recognition...
