A year had passed in the blink of an eye and Lin Feiran’s class of third-year students were now preparing for the high school exams.

Throughout the year, Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng both studied their hardest. During the second and third mock exams, they both passed the cutoff grade for S University, so they were clearly more than capable enough. But no one could be absolutely sure that they could demonstrate this prowess in the actual exam hall, and their goal was to get into the same university, so Lin Feiran decided to borrow the power of the Yin-Yang Eyes at this critical juncture!

A week before the exams, the exam admission tickets were passed out. Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng had been assigned the same exam location, but different exam rooms. So, on the first day of their study leave, they went to the exam venue and found a nearby ghost who seemed well-read and amiable to conversation.

Gu Kaifeng charmed the ghost until the ghost’s head spun in circles, and Lin Feiran promised to help the ghost fulfill wishes they could help with, on the condition that the ghost helped them match up their answers. The ghost agreed to help them with everything.

Lin Feiran said embarrassedly, “Just the multiple choice and the fill-in-the-blanks. For the long-answer questions, just the final answer is fine.”

The ghost, having found a rare opportunity to fulfill his wishes, threw away all semblance of propriety. “Do you need me to look at someone else’s? When the time comes, just tell me who’s a good student and I’ll go look.”

Gu Kaifeng folded his arms and said proudly, “We’re the good students.”

The ghost side-eyed them suspiciously. “......”

Even good students wanted to cheat?!

Lin Feiran waved a hand dismissively. “We don’t need other people’s answers. That’s too unfair. I just want to make sure our grades are about the same, because we want to get into the same university. It won’t do for our scores to be too different.”

Although this was not exactly the right thing to do, between their own conscience and the notion of going to the same university as their boyfriend, they both decisively picked their boyfriend.

Actually, Lin Feiran had come up with the idea of getting a ghost to check answers when he was still in second year and had discussed it with Gu Kaifeng, too. But after struggling with it for a while, they decided to study hard as if the idea had not occurred to them. Firstly, because the old school principal’s severe observation really was terrifying, and using the Yin-Yang Eyes to take shortcuts might have made him grow closer to becoming a fierce ghost every minute. Secondly, they could not cheat all their lives. If they cheated on the high school exams, would they have to cheat in the university exams, too? They would not get a proper education, and how would they continue to cheat once they entered society? In the end, they would only harm themselves. So they had to study, after all.

The ghost agreed to this errand, licked his lips, and said with anticipation, “I want to eat a bucket of fried chicken.”

“All right, I’ll buy it later.” Lin Feiran wrote it down. “Anything else?”

The ghost thought about it, then said, “Burn me a set of Detective Conan comics, too.”

Lin Feiran: “......”

This Mr. Ghost was very enlightened.

The ghost made another few small requests, all easy to carry out. Lin Feiran wrote them all down, then went shopping during the afternoon to fulfill the ghost’s checklist of wishes.

When the three days of vacation ended, the high school exams were upon them.

The first subject was literature. In the past, Lin Feiran was most worried about this subject. But in his third year of high school he had improved a lot, and the only headache remaining was his chicken-scratch handwriting. Before they entered their respective exam venues, Gu Kaifeng pulled Lin Feiran into a tight hug and gazed passionately at him. “RanRan.”
