ALL NOVEL
Chapter 14
Finally, Chen Shu still opened calculus, then sent a message to Yan Xu: "[Cry], the witch said I'm going to fail the midterm math exam."
Yan Xu: You can still pass now if you make extreme efforts to study...
Chen Shu: Can the future be changed?
Yan Xu: You can ask the witch expert!
Chen Shu hurried to send a message to Chu Yang: Boss! Please tell me if your prophecy can be changed?
Fortune-telling Little Witch: Human effort can triumph over fate.
Chen Shu: [Effort] Got it! I'll start making extreme efforts now!
After Chen Shu read calculus for two minutes...her mind started wandering: I really want to play games, emmm, I feel like drinking milk tea, or should I play a round first.
Half an hour later! Damn! Bad luck today! I actually lost points! No, I must get them back!
Two hours later, feeling hungry, let's go eat first.
Right before falling asleep at night, suddenly woke up! Crap! Got too caught up playing, didn't study at all today! Tomorrow, I must study tomorrow...and the cycle repeats...
On Chu Yang's side, she looked at her schedule. Her midterms were also coming up, so Jin Yang and the others went to the library every day, only coming back at 10 pm every night.
"The seats in the library are being competed for madly!" Jin Yang and them said when they came back at night.
"I'm so jealous that you can study without going to the library. I just can't do it in the dorm. I either get distracted by gossip, my phone and computer, or snacks. Going to the library and studying together with the nerds is the only way I can motivate myself." Zhou Caicai said.
Qian Xin suddenly said: "Yang Yang, can you predict how we'll do on our midterms?"
Chu Yang nodded: "I can, but I don't recommend you guys testing it out. If it's good news, wouldn't you stop trying hard? If it's bad news, wouldn't it affect you negatively?"
The three thought about it and agreed she had a point: "Then forget it. Sometimes it's better not to know."
"Yeah yeah yeah. Let's just keep working hard."
Chu Yang didn't actually only study in the dorm. The main reason she didn't go to the library was that she remembered books often had library plot lines of the male and female leads studying together there while also developing their romance, and she had run into some people last time she went to the library. She didn't want to run into those people again. Too annoying.
Of course she wasn't scared of them, she just found it troublesome. You can study anywhere, so why the library? However, when she needed to find resources, she would still go to the library. A University had a pretty good library with lots of books and materials. Chu Yang had already borrowed quite a few.
In addition to the library and dorm, some less crowded and shadier spots on campus were also pretty nice spots to study. When she got bored of the dorm, Chu Yang would also go to one of those shady spots on campus to read.
On this day, she was sitting in a pavilion on campus reading a book. The gentle breeze felt quite comfortable. And there weren't many passersby, so it was nice and quiet. The trees around were tall and lush. Occasionally, she could even hear birds chirping.
Suddenly, a "caw caw..." A pitch black crow suddenly landed on the pavilion railing, cocking its head looking at Chu Yang.
Then it cawed twice again, as if saying hello.
Creatures like crows weren't uncommon to witches, and they actually had quite good relationships. Chu Yang looked at the little crow, extending her hand.
The crow's eyes turned as it then flew to Chu Yang's hand. Chu Yang reached out and stroked its head. The crow nuzzled against her hand quite affectionately.
Chu Yang searched around in her bag, only finding some fruit candy, nevermind, it couldn't eat that.
"Go on, I'll bring you some treats next time."
It seemed as if the crow understood her. It nuzzled against her once more, cawed twice, then flew away to a tree.
Only then did Chu Yang continue studying.
No one else saw this scene.
The weather was gradually turning cooler, and Chu Yang had already put on a coat. During this time, Chu Yang had also saved up 20,000 RMB, but it still wasn't enough. She felt like she needed to earn money faster. At this rate, who knows how long it would take to save enough to repair her crystal ball, which would cost at least 100,000 RMB.
She now had close to 200 followers, but not that many clients. Most just treated her like a weather forecaster, and she usually only predicted Kyoto's weather. Some of her followers weren't even from Kyoto.
Chu Yang immediately changed the content of her Weibo posts. She felt like she needed to regularly predict some slightly abnormal event that could attract attention from a small audience. After midterms, she would need to investigate further what would be good to predict.
Two weeks later, Shu Daonan sent Chu Yang a message: Boss! [Crying hard] You were right, I really didn't pass...
Fortune-telling Little Witch: Human effort can triumph over fate...
Implying that he didn't try hard enough.
Shu Daonan: ...I was wrong! I shouldn't have indulged in games and entertainment. I have failed you!
Fortune-telling Little Witch: The only person you failed is yourself...
Shu Daonan: ...Oh, you're right.
On Chu Yang's side, she and her roommates had no issues passing their midterms. Chu Yang even scored first place in their major!
"From now on you are my father! With the gods as my witness, let this junior pay her respects! Getting 99 points on such a difficult ancient Chinese literature exam, you're just too amazing!" Jin Yang bowed to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang: "Rise, my beloved consort."
Zhou Caicai and Qian Xin weren't literature majors, but getting first place in their major at A University was no easy feat. They looked at Chu Yang admiringly.
Jin Yang giggled happily: "From now on I'm Noble Consort Yang!"
Zhou Caicai: "Then I'm Consort Zhou!"
Qian Xin said in an exaggerated high-pitched voice: "I'm Consort Qian, pleased to meet you sisters." And bowed.
Everyone then burst out laughing.
On Chu Yang's side, she did well on her midterms. And her tutoring student also earned good grades, so Chu Yang received a 2,000 RMB bonus from the employer.
In the dorm, Lin Shushu whispered to Li Qinglu: "I just heard that Chu Yang from the literature department got first place in her major."
Li Qinglu paused for a beat, "Alright, let's not talk about her from now on."
Lin Shushu nodded in agreement, "Yeah, let's not mention her anymore. I just feel like she's changed. Were her grades ever that good before?"
Her previous grades were decent enough to get into A University, but compared to all the other elite students, she was pretty average. But somehow now she had become so exceptional?
Lin Shushu was naturally jealous.
Li Qinglu also didn't know how to feel. She felt like after leaving them, Chu Yang seemed to be doing even better.
There were many female students in the literature department. Now that word got out about Chu Yang placing first in their major, a lot of people recognized her. After all, ability was very important at A University. On the roads, some people would even greet her. Sometimes girls from the literature major in the neighboring dorm would come over to hang out too.
More social connections meant more potential clients in the future right?
