Beneath the lamplight, Shen Yuan was hunched over, drowning in a sea of science problems. Li Zhi sat beside him, her head slightly bowed as a strand of hair slipped down her cheek. She, too, began to write and calculate with intense focus.
The only sounds were the faint scratching of pen on paper and the occasional whisper of wind from outside, weaving together a tranquil yet warm moment of youthful diligence.
Time slipped by quietly until Shen Yuan finally finished one of the test papers.
He set down his pen and rubbed his sore wrist. A wave of accomplishment washed over him; conquering the problems had invigorated him.
However, when he looked up, he noticed that Li Zhi, sitting beside him, had already breezed through three test papers!
Her speed…
While Shen Yuan's powers of concentration were formidable, Li Zhi was clearly a cut above when it came to speed.
With her fluid penmanship and lightning-fast comprehension, the problems simply melted away before her.
