Su Zhe drove Tang Mo to her exam center, No.9 Middle School, which was also his. He encouraged her to do her best and stated he would wait for her at Qinghua. While Su Zhe finished the exceptionally difficult math exam an hour early, many other students struggled. Tang Mo, inspired by Su Zhe's confidence, felt a renewed determination to achieve her goal of attending Qinghua.

After the math exam, Su Zhe watched as Tang Ju walked down the stairs, lost in thought. Tang Yi shook her head, "I won’t say!"

Her long hair, which was usually draped over her shoulders, was pulled back, revealing her smooth, fair forehead. She looked much better overall, as if she had returned to the time at school when everyone admired her.

Even though she only wore a faded floral dress, her tall stature still exerted an invisible pressure.

Apart from Su Zhe, many people glanced at her and then instinctively looked away.

But in the next second, they couldn’t help but look again. Indeed, she was captivating, so pure and beautiful, just like the image of a first love in everyone’s imagination.

She had the height, the figure, and most importantly, an outstanding appearance.

Tang Yuan looked up, watching Su Zhe walk towards the school gate with his hands in his pockets. After hearing Tang Yi’s words, he didn’t even look back. "Calculus, right... Calculus is easy..."

"But there are also two methods to solve equations for straight lines and conic sections, though they can be a bit more troublesome!"

This guy even knows calculus?

Tang Zhui ran a few steps after Su Zhe, slightly biting his lip. She was using the equations for straight lines and conic sections and hadn’t even had time to check her answers when the math bell rang.

Even a few top students who were sobbing loudly stopped crying and looked towards Su Zhe.

Tang Sui followed beside Su Zhe, looking just like a newly established couple.

Student from other schools...

believed Tang Ju and Su Zhe were indeed a couple.

The school flower, who was always so cold in their minds, was now actually interacting with an unknown student. The way they talked was completely familiar.

Was this still the Tang Mo they knew?

After all, none of the students in Class One had ever heard of anyone having a good relationship with Tang Mo because of her naturally introverted personality in addition to her academic prowess and natural appearance, many girls naturally distanced themselves from her.

For the boys, there was even less to say. Given Tang’s status in Class One, to put it bluntly, she was quite isolated.

Fortunately, her grades had always been outstanding, immersing herself in study to the point of being captivated. This allowed her standing in the high school to remain quite transcendent.

Teachers all liked her, and she didn’t have any flaws herself, diligently managing the class well, and every task from the teachers was always over-fulfilled.

With such efficiency, many believe that if Tang were in a conference in the future, she would be well-received by the board.

Who wouldn’t like such a serious, reliable, and efficient young person?

Seems like it was Su Zhe...

Finally, a top student recognized Su Zhe.

"Eh? It does seem like him."

"Could it be that they..."

Several students from No.3 Middle School had a spark of gossip in their eyes, but in the next second, Su Zhe and Tang Yi disappeared from their sight.

They stayed behind to wait for the school bus, whereas Su Zhe and Tang Mo approached the school gate.

"Don’t worry, I already called the hospital. Your grandpa’s condition is stable for now!"

"However, whether he wakes up depends on his constitution."

Su Zhe drove, observing the scenes of students and parents holding their heads in anguish, not just one or two, many were crying loudly. Clearly, the difficulty of the math exam exceeded their expectations.

Tang Yuan’s eyes widened in excitement, "Really, really?"

"Yeah, the doctor told me your grandpa forced himself to discharge last time when he wasn’t fully recovered, so he fell into a coma again."

"Luckily, you took him to the hospital in time, and it was from a previous bleeding site, so it was temporarily controlled."

Tang Yuan let out a long sigh of relief, her face looking much better. However, the next second, she seemed to remember something.

"Thank you, Su Zhe, really, I..."

"It’s all for classmates..."

Su Zhe quickly interrupted her, turning to look at Tang Yi, who had a complicated expression, jokingly adding, "Any chance of Qinghua?"

"What major did you apply for?"

"Sina Blog."

"Computer Technology."

Tang Yuan wasn’t someone easily embarrassed; she was filled with gratitude towards Su Zhe, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to thank him. The student beside her could truly be considered the most Special person she had ever met.

She understood that many boys admired her, but Su Zhe didn’t seem to be one of them.

"Computer Technology."

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, "That’s a good choice. Did you choose it yourself?"

"I read on the news that the country is strongly supporting the internet now. I think computer science will be promising in the future!"

Hearing Tang Yuan’s analysis, Su Zhe nodded, "You’re right. The internet will indeed dominate the world in the next decade."

Tang Ju suddenly thought of Su Zhe, who also applied for Qinghua.

They were the only two students from Su City No.3 Middle School who applied for Qinghua, and now sitting together, Tang Yi felt something very intriguing.

"Me? Telecommunications Engineering!"

"Mobile Internet."

Tang Lin frowned at this term; she had never heard it before.

"You will know in the future!"

"Okay, we’ve arrived at the hospital. Also, don’t worry about the hospitalization fee. Once you’re at Qinghua..."

"Your grandpa must fully recover before being discharged."

Through conversations with the hospital staff, Su Shi found out her grandpa’s relapse was because of the hospitalization fee issues earlier, which led to an early discharge and another brain hemorrhage.

Tang’s grandpa, as Su Zhe mentioned, was indeed in a coma.

For patients with brain hemorrhages, besides waking up on their own, there was no other solution, especially in 1999 when medical conditions were limited.

Depending on the patient’s symptoms, if lucky, one could wake up within a week. If the condition was poor, there was even a risk to life. Luckily, Tang’s grandpa didn’t have much bleeding, ensuring his life was safe.

As for when he would wake up, that was entirely up to him.

Su Shi went out to pay the one-month hospitalization fee, and when he returned to the ward, he saw Tang Mo sitting at the desk writing.

"How much was it in total?"

She turned her head to ask Su Zhe, her pretty face revealing no emotion.

"I paid a total of 50,000 RMB."

Su Shi could guess Tang...

He wouldn’t act like a wealthy benefactor and tell her the money didn’t need to be repaid. Since their relationship wasn’t at that level, saying so would not only insult Tang Sui but also give her the wrong impression.

Thus, writing an IOU was the best solution.

"I’ll remember today’s help for the rest of my life. If there’s a chance, I’d like to repay you someday."

"Here’s the IOU. Once I’m at Qinghua, I’ll work-study to repay you as soon as possible!"

Tang Ju handed the neatly written IOU to Su Zhe.

The amount was 60,000 RMB, signed by Tang Yi with neat handwriting, looking almost like it was print-typed.

"Alright, call me if you need anything!"

"If we really meet at Qinghua, I could introduce you to a job opportunity."

Su Zhe smiled, and Tang didn’t refuse, she nodded firmly, "Okay! I’m leaving now, do you have my number?"

"Yes, I do!"

Tang Ou looked up at Su Zhe, who smiled and waved goodbye as he left the ward.

A nurse who came in to change Tang Mo’s grandpa’s medicine caught sight of Su Zhe leaving and quickly asked Tang, "Hey, is he your boyfriend?"

Tang replied softly, just her ears slightly turning red.
