CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: THE TWELVE ZODIAC DRAWING AND THE ADAM’S APPLE

"Olivia, you’re back from the film crew."

As soon as Olivia Song and Claire Green walked into the classroom, someone excitedly called out.

"Yes, there’s a quiz on Friday, so I wanted to come back early and review."

Olivia Song gave a gentle smile and nodded at the person.

With this, her classmates’ impression of her improved even more.

Despite already starting to film, she still came back for a quiz, showing her dedication to studies.

"Your grades are so good; you don’t even need to review."

"Exactly, you’re already so diligent normally, a small quiz is nothing."

Listening to her classmates’ compliments, Olivia proudly curved her lips into a faint smile.

A few seconds later, she pursed her lips, feigning modesty.

"It’s not as exaggerated as you say. As a student, I must respect every exam."

Clap, clap.

Applause echoed.

Lia Zeller entered with her textbooks, applauding, her face full of satisfaction with Olivia Song.

"As expected from a student I’ve taught, such high awareness."

Seeing Lia enter, everyone returned to their seats, sitting quietly.

Lia Zeller placed her hands on the podium, glancing around with a serious expression.

"Although Friday’s quiz is just a small test, it’s for the entire senior year. As students of Class One, you’re naturally smarter than others, unlike those in Class Six. I hope you won’t disappoint me in this test."

There was silence below, and after a while, a slow response of agreement.

Hearing this uneven response, Lia Zeller frowned, displeased as she looked at them.

"Didn’t you eat? Why so quiet."

"Got it."

This time, everyone’s voice was loud, which finally satisfied her.

...

Friday.

"It’s just a small quiz in our class, yet they’re still seating us by rank, that never happened before."

Sebastian Winn sat sideways, crossing his legs, biting on a pen, and said exasperatedly.

John Sinclair, playing a game, didn’t even lift his head and said indifferently, "Who cares, the school comes up with so many tricks. Besides, whether split by class or not, the two of us will still be in the back."

Their scores were just a bit better than Olivia’s, but compared to others, they were completely outclassed.

"You guys are with Olivia, and I’m stuck right at the front."

Isabella Xyler propped her chin, looking resentful.

John Sinclair finished his game, rubbing his sore neck and chuckled, "Blame it on your good grades."

"Get lost," Isabella rolled her eyes, then looked towards Claire Green, "Olivia, if you bomb this test, will Julian be mad?"

Julian Sia prepared so many materials and personally explained them for Olivia’s sake, if she didn’t do well...

Claire Green carelessly doodled on the paper with a relaxed tone.

"No, he won’t."

With his personality, at most, he’d just prepare another stack of materials.

"Alright then, the test is about to start, I’ll head over first."

Hearing the bell, Isabella quickly set up her desk and walked to the front with her stuff.

...

The proctor was the homeroom teacher of Class Five. He entered the classroom, saw the last few rows by the window, and grinned.

The students with the lowest ranks are all together; even if they wanted to cheat, they couldn’t.

Suppressing his laughter, he distributed the test papers and calmly went over the exam rules.

After receiving the paper, Claire Green glanced at it with her head lowered and raised an eyebrow.

Leisurely, she began to write.

First question, choose B.

Second question, choose D.

After finishing the multiple-choice questions, she began her drawing.

The proctor saw how focused she was and couldn’t help but walk over to see what she was up to this time.

Looking down, he burst out laughing; all twelve zodiac animals were there.

His laughter caught the attention of others.

What’s Olivia up to this time to make the proctor laugh?

Throughout the exam, the proctor frequently visited the back, sparking the curiosity of Class Six as if a cat was scratching at their hearts, itching with interest.

John Sinclair turned his head, "Olivia, what did you do."

Claire Green lifted her eyelids, her dark pupils fixed on him, a slight curve forming at her lips.

Nonchalantly she said, "I drew you three."

With those words.

John was momentarily stunned, then excitedly pinched Sebastian, grinning like an idiot.

Although her drawing skills aren’t great, the fact she drew us shows she cares a lot.

Sebastian also looked thrilled; Olivia is indeed warm-hearted beneath her cool exterior.

Isabella returned to the back and saw the two like this, pouting, "What’s with you two."

"Olivia drew us three on the test paper today."

Hearing this, Isabella’s eyes lit up.

Observing the trio’s expressions, a rogue smile flashed in Claire Green’s eyes.

...

In the afternoon, John and the others stared at Claire Green’s test paper, twitching at the corners of their mouths.

It was all animals; there was no sign of them at all.

"Olivia, you said you drew us, where are we?"

John flipped the paper back and forth, almost using a magnifying glass, but still found nothing, so he asked.

Claire Green raised her eyebrow, a lazy smile appearing in her eyes, nonchalant, "Animal version of you guys, surprised?"

It was indeed a surprise, from humans to the twelve zodiac signs, the species changed.

Isabella quickly caught on and laughed, "There’s an animal version of Olivia too."

The other two, upon hearing this, realized it was true.

Claire Green clicked her tongue, turned, and left with her bag.

...

"Brother, when did you get back."

Claire Green looked at the man sitting on the couch, raised her eyebrows, and smiled.

The man’s face was cool and handsome, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that hid his emotions, with a hint of a mischievous curve at the corner of his thin lips.

Wearing a white shirt with three buttons undone, slightly revealing his chest, his long legs crossed and placed on the coffee table.

A perfect mix of restraint and temptation, making you want to strip away his guise and see his wild side.

Julian Sia met her gaze and chuckled slightly, "Just arrived, did you have an exam today?"

"Yes." Claire Green tossed her bag aside, leaning back.

"Your teacher sent me your grades, don’t you have anything to say, Ajin."

Julian leaned in slightly, pulling her to his side, his hand idly rubbing the back of her hand.

Claire Green raised her eyebrow, "I’ll try harder next time."

Hearing this, Julian chuckled in a low voice, his Adam’s apple moving.

Seeing the man’s Adam’s apple, Claire Green, out of nowhere, reached towards it.

Just as she was about to touch it, a defined hand caught hers, and she heard the man teasingly say,

"Ajin, are you trying to take advantage of your brother again."

Hearing this, Claire Green smirked, "Well, will you let me?"

Their eyes met.

Suddenly.

Julian’s expression was lazy, placing Claire Green’s hand on his Adam’s apple, "Whatever makes you happy, Ajin."

She didn’t expect him to do that; Claire smirked, feeling the heat in her hand, her heart warmed.

Being touched on the Adam’s apple for the first time, Julian’s eyes darkened slightly, his voice husky, "Are you satisfied with what you’ve felt?"

"Not bad."

Claire Green retracted her hand, smiling contently.

Julian hid his emotions, lifting his hand with a bit more force, rubbing her face until it turned red, smiling enchantingly.

"But your brother finds Ajin’s face very pleasant to the touch."

"..."

Can’t we just behave like normal people?

Claire Green glanced at him indifferently, grabbing her bag, and headed upstairs.

Julian continued smiling, pinching his fingers as if the warmth lingered.
