Preserved Egg chimed in. "We got sixty-something. Li Zexin managed to get seventy."
Li Zexin kicked Preserved Egg playfully. "Are you trying to make this worse?"

He was afraid Xiao Yi would think he didn't do well, or he was slacking off on his studies. He was only a substitute in Xiao Yi's gaming team, after all. What if he regretted letting him into his team?
"Xinxin has good grades. He is the best student from our dormitory," said Chubby Jiang.
