Zhi Shu's mom asks XQ what she wants for her midnight snack and ZS shocks everyone by saying that he wants one too as he will be in her room! Of course, this is followed by blank stares by the family wondering what he will be doing in her room (high school guys are wolves? lol) But ZS says he will be studying (really, XQ is blackmailing ZS into tutoring her with his childhood pictures).
When they are in the bedroom studying, there is a classic awkward moment between the two when ZS drops a book and both reach to pick it up. They start with studying math, but ZS does not even know the scope of the exam because he never needs to study. Meanwhile, XQ is internally freaking out because she is alone with ZS.
They start studying and ZS predicts exactly the same thing that XQ said in the last episode - that she does not even know what she understands. ZS gives her some problems to do and feels sleepy (he never stays up past 10 PM, what a loser) and bothered that he has to tutor her. After what seems like forever, XQ finishes, but ZS sees that all she has written is garbage.
She tries again and finally gets the first problem right, and violently flings around ZS's hand because she is so excited to get the problem right. Then suddenly, *CLICK*, they turn around, and there is ZS's mom, taking a picture of them. How she got into the room, no one knows. The mom then whips out two enormous platter of food for their midnight snack and takes more pictures. Because she is losing sleep at night studying, XQ makes up for sleep during class. However, AJ is convinced that it's because the new place she is staying at is making her work is bullying her and clean and babysit, thus she is exhausted. XQ and ZS continue studying at night. One night while studying, ZS falls asleep and XQ feels bad because she is making him stay up to study with her. She dozes off too, and accidentally her lips fall onto...! ZS!! Is it their first kiss? Not quite... but sort of. Since he is sleeping, XQ falls asleep too, next to him on the desk, and ZS's mom comes in to take yet another picture of them.
The morning of the exam, ZS's mom gives XQ a good luck charm and tells her not to open it until the exam is over. Even though she has been instructed not to talk to him during school, XQ manages to sneak in a thank you, and ZS wishes her good luck. During the exam, XQ knows what she is doing and seems to be doing well. Meanwhile, ZS falls alseep during the exam from sleep deprivation while staying up with XQ. While walking, XQ overhears people talking about this and worries about it. As a sort of thank you, XQ puts a gift of "chicken essence" (LOL) in ZS's room. ZS gives a slight smile when he sees this. When the scores come out, XQ runs hurriedly to see if ZS is still #1. Since he is an absolute genius, he still gets first despite sleeping during the exam. ZS is uninterested in the results, but when his friend urges him, he goes to the end of the list and sees that Yuan Xiang Qin is in 100th place!! When XQ finally sees this, she thanks him profusely (in public too!) and she hands over the film of the pictures.
XQ is treated like a genius and a celebrity when she returns to Class F. However, Ah Jin is still concerned about her well-being at her new home as she has not told him anything about it. He and his posse follow her home and see that we lives in the same house as Jiang Zhi Shu!! AJ is so shocked he beings rolling around in the street.
At school the next day, AJ approaches her, asking the truth. Since ZS has forbade her from telling this, she denies it. However, when looking through her locker, she drops the good luck charm ZS's mom gave her. Her friends open it to see pictures of her and ZS inside, sleeping, eating and studying together. Having no choice, XQ admits that she lives with ZS and his family. She makes the students promise not to tell anyone.The scene cuts to ZS running across the school to find XQ. Rumors are already swirling about them since the news has come out. He takes across the school to the computer lab, where to her embarrassment and his disgust, the desktop wallpaper of every single computer is a picture of the two of them sleeping next to each other (!!!). Liu Nong and Chun Mei, XQ's friends, are shown to have stolen the pictures from her bag and done the deed (heh...some friends). Feelings between XQ and ZS just seemed to be warming up, but now ZS is more angry at her than ever.
