Chapter 100: Study-God Xu × Yue Jiu CP Is Real
The exams were finally over, and most people were so excited that they ran out of the test hall.
Lin Yuejiu didn’t rush. She came out among the last, scanning the crowd for that familiar figure. Before she even reached the exam gate, she spotted him. Their eyes met from across the sea of people.
Her lips curved upward, and she ran straight toward him.
Many classmates also looked around, some spotting Lin Yuejiu. “Hey, isn’t that the goddess Lin?”
Everyone turned to look just in time to see Lin Yuejiu suddenly run up and leap into a boy’s arms. He caught her steadily, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her clear, joyful voice rang in his ear: “We meet again.”
“Yes, we meet again.” He smiled back at her.
They looked at each other and laughed softly. Then, Lin Yuejiu slowly lowered her head and pressed her lips against his.
The two kissed openly in front of everyone.
When Xu’s parents and Xu Yan arrived, this was exactly the scene they saw. Their eyes widened in shock and excitement.
Though the kiss was brief, it was enough to stun everyone around them. Whose kids were these? So bold?!
“Damn! You two—”
A voice came from the side. They turned their heads together, only to find their classmates staring in disbelief.
Lin Yuejiu raised a brow. “Can’t you tell? We’re dating.”
“!! You mean… you’re really together?! Study-God Xu × Yue Jiu CP is real?!”
Amid the bustling crowd, they were the brightest sight. A reporter even captured the moment: the boy holding the girl in his arms, their foreheads touching, both smiling brilliantly.
High school youth had ended, but their story was only beginning.

The moment they kissed, the entire scene erupted—except for Chen Qianxi, who stood frozen on the spot.
What the hell? The CP I shipped… is real?!
They kissed?!
And Yuejiu personally admitted they were a couple? Officially dating?!
Study-God Xu × Yue Jiu is really real?!
Her eyes widened like saucers. Damn, damn, damn! My CP is real!
She grabbed Du Zhuo’s shoulders and shook him like crazy. “Du Zhuo! My CP is real! It’s real! I knew they were together!”
Du Zhuo was so dizzy his head spun. “I saw it, I get it, they’re real—now please let go before I throw up.”
Chen Qianxi quickly released him, apologizing. “Sorry, I got too excited.” Then she beamed with unrestrained joy. “See? I told you Study-God Xu × Yue Jiu had to be real.”
Du Zhuo rubbed his sore shoulders. “Yeah, yeah, you’re right. Turning a fake CP into a real one… it really does feel different.”
“Isn’t it amazing?!”
“Mm.” He didn’t say more, but inside, he was just as excited.
Xu’s parents were just as thrilled: Finally! At last, the day has come! Yuejiu is finally our daughter-in-law!
Xu Yan: Well done, little bro! I’ve got a sister-in-law now, hahahaha!
After the exams, Lin Yuejiu went home with Study-God Xushen.
Xu’s parents and Xu Yan circled around Yuejiu, while Study-God Xushen himself was left ignored.
“Yuejiu, how was life abroad? Did anyone bully you?”
“Were you eating well overseas? Oh my, you’ve gotten so thin.”
“Did you win any new awards? Make any good friends?”
Lin Yuejiu answered each question with a smile.
“With so many achievements, Yuejiu, you’re amazing!”
She shook her head modestly. “No, no, I still have a lot to learn.”
After chatting some more, the Xu family tactfully left the two of them alone and went to their rooms.
Upstairs, as soon as they entered the room, Lin Yuejiu hugged Study-God Xushen’s waist. “You looked so pitiful just now.”
“Pitiful? How so?” He looked down at her, eyes full of gentle warmth.
“No one paid you any attention.”
“But I had you.” He tapped her nose lightly. “You’re their center. And if I have the center, how could I possibly feel pitiful?”
Lin Yuejiu smiled. “Did you miss me?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because you’re right in front of me. There’s no need to miss you. But I was thinking about something else.”
“What?”
“When you ran toward me earlier… why did you lower your head to kiss me?”
She froze. She hadn’t thought about why—just that, in that moment, she wanted to. She had followed her heart.
Blinking, she answered softly, “No reason.”
“No reason? You just wanted to kiss me?” His brows arched playfully.
Her instinct was to say yes, but rationality stopped her. She stayed silent.
He leaned closer. “Why so quiet?”
She leaned her head back slightly but still said nothing.
“Hmm?” He continued to close the distance, clearly wanting an answer.
Staring at his face drawing nearer, she swallowed nervously.
It had to be said—his face was dangerously seductive, overwhelmingly attractive.
Study-God Xushen caught the look in her eyes, lips curving as he leaned forward and captured her lips again.
Her eyes widened slightly, but she didn’t pull away—accepting his kiss instead.
Seeing she didn’t resist, he deepened the kiss, gently savoring her lips, just like that night on the balcony. At length, he pulled back. “Can you accept this?”
Her fair cheeks flushed crimson, and though she couldn’t meet his gaze, she nodded. She was willing.
Receiving her approval, he grew bolder, his warm breath brushing her face as his low voice teased her.
Lin Yuejiu slowly closed her eyes, arms looping around his neck.

The next day, messages filled the class group chat. People were already suggesting going out to have fun.
Though it had only been a day apart, it felt like forever. After the grueling exams, it was time to enjoy themselves.
Everyone agreed and planned a get-together.
Someone tagged Study-God Xushen and Lin Yuejiu: [Are you two coming?]
[Hey, don’t be cruel. The lovebirds finally get to see each other—how could you drag them out? (smiley face)]
[I don’t care! You’re the only couple among us, so you have to come! If you don’t, I’ll come to your house myself!]
Both Lin Yuejiu and Study-God Xushen quickly replied that they would join.
After tidying up a bit, the two of them headed out, took a cab to the appointed place, and pushed open the door to the private room. Inside, almost everyone was already seated. When they saw the pair walk in, they immediately called out for them to sit, even saving two seats side by side. Chen Qianxi quickly sat next to Lin Yuejiu.
“Our class’s one and only couple has finally arrived! Come on, come on, if anyone has questions for them, now’s the time to ask!”
“I’ll go first! When did you two start dating?!”
“Second year, second semester.”
The whole room gasped.
“That early?!”
“So you’ve already been together for over a year? You’ve been hiding this from us the whole time?!”
“You two really kept the secret well! How did you manage to fool so many people?”
“I knew it all along! I said there was something going on between you two!”
“So that means our ShenYueJiu CP wasn’t wrong after all.”
“And we actually shipped them into becoming a real CP!”
Everyone raised their glasses of drinks. “No need to say more—cheers to you two!”
Study-God Xushen and Lin Yuejiu exchanged a glance and raised their cups to clink glasses with everyone.
“So that means you’ve even gone through a long-distance relationship?”
“You survived long-distance and still stayed together? Wow, I didn’t expect that. Your relationship must be really strong.”
Lin Yuejiu smiled. “There’s no helping it. Our bond runs deep.”
“Here’s to Study-God Xu and our goddess Lin staying together forever!”
“Yes, yes! Together forever! I hope I get to see you not only as a couple but also one day getting married!”
Study-God Xushen raised his glass to the speaker. “From your lips to heaven’s ears.”
“Haha, Study-God Xu, you’re too polite.”
The private room buzzed with chatter, and they played many games. Since Study-God Xushen and Lin Yuejiu were the stars of the night, the others even tweaked the truth-or-dare rules to target them specifically.
For example: Kiss for one minute.
The moment this dare came up, everyone’s eyes lit up. Unfortunately, Study-God Xushen chose to drink instead, refusing to let anyone see.
“Aww, come on, really?”
“Study-God Xu, that’s not fair.”
“So stingy, not letting us watch.”
Study-God Xushen smiled. “Exactly. I’m not letting you watch.”
Lin Yuejiu couldn’t hold back her laughter, pressing her lips together. “Teacher Xu, you really are stingy.”
He raised his brows, calmly admitting it.
Hmph. They hadn’t kissed that many times in total, and even he hadn’t seen enough of her like that—why should he let others watch?
Then came another dare: Hug and kiss for three seconds.
That one didn’t succeed either—Study-God Xushen once again chose to drink.
Another: Stare into each other’s eyes for thirty seconds.
This time, Study-God Xushen agreed readily. “This one’s fine. Let’s do it.”
“Whoa, I’m ready with my camera!”
“Me too, already holding up my phone!”
Lin Yuejiu chuckled, turning her head to meet Study-God Xushen’s gaze. Their eyes locked, both holding faint smiles.
A god-tier couple with such stunning looks, staring into each other’s eyes—what a rare sight. Everyone was transfixed, watching without blinking. When they took photos, they even thoughtfully muted their phones and turned off the flash.
After the gathering ended, Lin Yuejiu wanted to go home with Study-God Xushen. But Chen Qianxi suddenly grabbed her arm.
“Jiujiu, today… can you come home with me instead?”
Lin Yuejiu: “Huh???”
Study-God Xushen: “???”
Chen Qianxi tried her best to ignore the stares from the others. “It’s been so long since we last saw each other. I really missed you.”
