She didn't seem to expect Li Qinyuan to come so quickly, or maybe she didn't expect him to stand behind her, Gu Wuyou's eyes widened, and his face was full of astonishment.
In this trance, he forgot that he was still on tiptoe.
When she reacted, she just had a bright smile on her face, and she couldn't help falling back.
Behind her is the wooden board with the list attached, which is not reliable. If she falls in this way, she will definitely fall to the ground even if she leads the list. Gu Wuyou doesn't know if she is afraid of pain or embarrassment, her face is white, His eyes closed involuntarily.
The imagined pain did not come, and she didn't even feel how her body was tilted.
He only felt a large, broad palm pass through the cloak, drape straight on her slender waist, and pull her over with an unstoppable force.
This sudden change is only a momentary thing, Gu Wuyou is like a fool, unable to react, when the soles of her feet are firmly attached to the ground, her long and thick eyelashes lightly After a few fans, Gu Wuyou slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was Li Qinyuan, who was closer than before.
He also wore a cloak today, embroidered with bamboo leaves in dark blue, a little more poised and extravagant than usual.
At this time, the thick cloak on his body seemed to cover her because it was too close, and because he was carrying his back, it just happened to cover both of them, looking at it from the perspective of others, You can only notice that they are relatively close.
"How about it?"
Li Qinyuan retracted his hand when he saw her standing firm, and took two steps back, but his long eyebrows were still frowning, and his voice was filled with undisguised concern, "Are your feet alright?"
"No, it's fine."
Gu Wuyou blushed. Thinking of her stupid appearance just now, her face turned even redder, but thinking of his rank, she didn't care whether she blushed or not. She raised her head, her eyes were sparkling and twinkling. Like a dazzling star, "Did you see it, you are in sixth!"
Li Qinyuan had already seen his ranking.
He had also estimated earlier, and it was better than he thought. He glanced at the position in front of him. Jingyubai was the first, Zhao Chengyou was the second, and the other three were all from Changrongzhai. An excellent student...
He couldn't say whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with his grades, he just cared about her thoughts.
Now this grade is neither high nor low, Li Qinyuan's hand behind him can't help but gently clenched, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think I'm worse than others?"
He was a lot worse than her previous fiancé.
"How come?" Gu Wuyou said very decisively.
Knowing who he was talking about, she added, "Don't compare yourself with others, compare yourself with yourself, as long as you improve than before, that's enough!"
The little girl looked like she was afraid that he would think too much and wanted to explain in a hurry, and successfully made Li Qinyuan's heart that was still a little worried and fluctuating completely down, and he couldn't help but want to raise his hand and touch her head.
After all, I knew the timing was not right and held back.
Gu Yu stood beside her, didn't see their previous movements, only saw the two of them talking face to face, because the voice was so soft, she couldn't hear it clearly, she saw the people behind her getting closer and closer, afraid that there would be too many of them. Thinking about it, she walked over and shouted angrily, "Gu Wuyou, come over when you're finished."
Li Qinyuan also smiled and said to her, "Let's go."
Thinking of something, he called someone again and said, "Fu Xian said, go back to Baobin Building to have dinner after reading the results. He treats guests. If you are all right, go together."
Gu Wuyou looked back at Gu Yu and asked her what she meant.
"Look at what I'm doing?" Gu Yu's tone was still not very good, and she looked a little awkward. "I'll stop you, so you really won't go?" After speaking, she turned her head and lowered her voice, with a somewhat indifferent attitude. , "Let's go, it's nothing to do anyway. Besides, this meal is what he owes us, so if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing."
Gu Wuyou laughed when she heard this, and turned to look at Li Qinyuan, her voice was soft and sweet, and she looked very well-behaved, "Then we will wait for you by the side." When they nodded, she took Gu Yu by the hand. hand went to the side.
As soon as they got there, Fu Xian and the others came over.
In fact, the people behind him walked so slowly just now, and they all relied on Fu Xian's ingenuity. Knowing that Qilang was going to talk to Xiao Chili, he deliberately walked slowly for a few beats, and talked about the topic with the people around him. Now that they are separated, laugh He walked over, hooked Li Qinyuan's neck, looked at the list, and asked, "Qilang, where are you?"
Fu Xian's grades were average, and he hovered in the 30s almost every time.
Sure enough, he was at thirty-seven this time.
After thinking about Qilang's previous grades, Fu Xian hesitated for a while and decided to start looking after him, but he couldn't find Qilang's name after searching for a long time. After reading the list, he exclaimed: "Seven, Qilang is sixth!"
"What?" Fu Xian was stunned, and he hurriedly leaned over to take a look.
The ink has long dried up, and Li Qinyuan's name is written on the sixth place.
It really is.
He took a closer look at the grades in each subject, such as arithmetic and calligraphy. Shichiro got an A, and even strategy theory got an A. As for other poems, essays, laws, etc., he got a B. Wait, in fact, it is a bit reluctant to rank sixth in this grade, and the partiality is too serious. In a place like Luming Academy, where there are many talents, this grade is not very popular.
However, his grades in the subject of strategy and discussion were very good, and his grades were higher than the five people in front of him. On the whole, he took the sixth place.
The more Fu Xian looked, the wider his mouth opened.
The rest of the people behind him also had similar expressions. Who didn't know that Li Qinyuan's grades had always been bad. He used to be in the bottom of the rankings, but this time he took the sixth place directly
Jing Yubai was not so shocked. He seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. After reading it, he turned his head and said to Li Qinyuan, "Qilang, congratulations."
Li Qinyuan also laughed, "It's all thanks to you for helping me make up the lessons these days."
After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder again, and congratulated him: "It's still number one, not bad."
Jing Yubai smiled, he was not much different from Zhao Chengyou, and... In this exam, he always felt that Zhao Chengyou's mind was not on the exam, but rather as if he was caught by something.
This is actually a little surprising.
During the month that he changed schools at Kongshan Academy, he had a close relationship with Zhao Chengyou, and he knew a little about him. He was a person who would never be disturbed by the outside world and disrupt his pace, and this time... He tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Chengyou behind him, but found that he was not looking at the list, but looked over at Gu Wuyou who was standing outside.
Qing Jun's long eyebrows were slightly raised, and Jing Yubai retracted his gaze and said nothing.
He was either congratulating him or complimenting Qilang, but after Fu Xian was happy, he suddenly remembered something, "It's over, Qilang used to be at the bottom, now the four of us, I'm the worst, my aunt will definitely beat me to death. The..." he cried, "Qilang, why did you do so well in this exam!"
Woohoo.
He suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by Shichiro when he was a child.
- "Look at Qilang, reading is better than you, horse riding is better than you, and even archery is better than you." Fu Xian couldn't help shivering, this kind of day will not come again.
Li Qinyuan glanced at him with a smile. They had already read their grades. He gently kicked Fu Xian, who was still crying, and said lazily, "Let's go, let's go eat." After speaking, he turned to Gu Gu. Worry-free direction.
after they leave.
Yin Xu finally squeezed in. He stood on tiptoe to see the results on the list. There were crowds in front of him. He didn't pay attention to his results, but went directly to the top rankings. He saw Zhao Chengyou, who was always number one. Actually came second.
He seemed to be stunned, shocked and inconceivable, and even his tone became dull, "Chengyou, why are you second this time?"
In his impression, Zhao Chengyou has never been second.
But Zhao Chengyou didn't answer him, his eyes followed Gu Wuyou's figure, he saw her standing outside with her bright and splendid face up, and her clear eyes were not blinking in Li Qinyuan's direction. When Li Qinyuan passed by, the two of them didn't know what to say, and the expression on her face suddenly became brighter.
"Chengyou?" Yin Xu didn't hear his answer, and called him again.
This time, Zhao Chengyou recovered his senses. He raised his eyelashes and glanced at the results on the list. When he saw that he was ranked second, he felt a little dazzling, but he still said in the old tone. : "It's okay, I'll take the test next time."
That being said, his heart was actually very irritable.
Ever since he was a child, he has always been the best at anything, and he has never been second. This time... he knew exactly what the problem was.
he,
It was messed up.
Just because he saw Gu Wuyou gave Li Qinyuan a pair of knee pads that day, he couldn't sit still.
Being distracted by a woman he didn't like at all in the past was really inappropriate, but he couldn't control his heart, especially when he saw Gu Wuyou and Li Qinyuan standing together, his heart was filled with emotion. It's like frying in a frying pan.
But... he couldn't do anything.
Looking at his expression, Yin Xu didn't bother to talk about his grades, and said with concern: "Chengyou, I don't think you've been looking very well recently, are you not feeling well? Why don't I ask a doctor to give it to you? have a look?"
"fine."
Zhao Chengyou shook his head, "It's just that I haven't rested well for a while."
When Xu Fu came over, their scores were almost the same.
Li Qinyuan and others were about to leave, but when they saw him coming, they stopped and shouted in unison, "Mr. Xu."
"Get up."
Xu Fu said with a smile, glanced at them again, and asked, "Have you read all the grades?"
The crowd replied, "It's all finished."
Xu Fu nodded and said, "Everyone did well in the exam this time, especially some students. The progress this time is very great and deserves praise."
Although he didn't name him by name, everyone present knew who he was talking about. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in Li Qinyuan's direction, but Li Qinyuan seemed to be ignorant, or he didn't care if he noticed it. But when Gu Wuyou looked up at him, he lowered his eyes and smiled at the person.
No one else noticed the interaction between the two, only Zhao Chengyou, who had been watching them, saw it.
The hand under his sleeve was tightly clenched, and even his knuckles clucked because of the force, but the sound on the field was so loud that it was covered.
Xu Fu was still talking, "It's going to be a holiday after today, and you've worked hard for half a year. You can rest at home during this time..." When he caught sight of Pan Shu coming over, he coughed again and added, "But your studies should not be wasted. ,Do you understand?"
Everyone responded in unison, "Got it!"
Mr. Pan, who wanted to teach others a lesson: "..."
Seeing this, Xu Fu smiled and said again: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go back, be careful on the road, and those who want to go out to eat and party should also pay attention to safety."
They were afraid that they would be punished by Pan Shu if they stayed, so they responded quickly, bowed their hands to the two of them, and walked outside. After walking far, they could hear Pan Shu and Xu Fu complaining, "Just say that for a while. Can they listen? If I tell you, it's better to set up homework directly, so that they don't go home like birds released from cages when they are on vacation."
"Okay, finally take a vacation, let them relax."
Xu Fu smiled and persuaded, "After this year, they will have to go their separate ways next year, whether they will be admitted to the court, or do other things. Where will there be such a relaxed life in the future?"
When Pan Shu heard this, he fell silent.
After a while, he looked at the figures of the group of teenagers and girls leaving, excited, joyful, youthful... He looked at it, and suddenly sighed, "That's it."
There are not many such carefree days.
Baobin Lou is the largest restaurant in Beijing.
The food is delicious. Naturally, the price is also expensive. Usually, high-ranking officials and nobles treat guests to dinner. Table is booked.
It was still early, and when they arrived, there was no one upstairs or downstairs.
The servant is a clever one. I have seen many dignitaries and nobles. How can I not know who they are? At this moment, I greeted them and said respectfully to Fu Xian, "Mr. Fu, you have already reserved the box, so I will lead you up?"
"Um."
Fu Xian looked serious outside, nodded arrogantly, and let someone lead them up.
The private box is called "Meixiang". It is the one with the best location and the largest space in the Baobin Building. Even the layout is very elegant. Young lady, do you want to have some snacks or dinner first?"
Fu Xian didn't know what to do, so he looked up at Gu Yu.
Gu Yu raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Wuyou who was talking to Li Qinyuan, and said, "Let's eat, Gu Wuyou and I will go home earlier."
Fu Xian: "Then let's serve."
The servant responded and went down to give orders, but the appetizers, preserves, and seasonal fruits were delivered first.
Gu Wuyou really likes to eat sunflower seeds, but she finds it difficult to peel them, so after eating a few, she doesn't want to eat them. on.
Fu Xian smashed the sunflower seeds and asked casually, "What are you going to do during the holidays?"
"What can I do? Accompany my mother to visit relatives, hey, the cousins of my grandfather's house are too annoying. Every time I go, I just listen to them bickering and arguing. Let me judge." Qi Xu took a piece of cake and complained while eating, then turned to look at Jing Yubai, "Da Bai, you are still the same as before, returning to your grandfather's house in the second year of junior high school, and then waiting for the holiday. come back?"
Jing Yubai held a cup of tea, heard the words, and shook his head, "I won't go this year. I heard from my father that His Majesty intends to hold a hunt after the year, and he intends to take me over to recognize some officials."
He had already decided to take the career path.
The Jing family did not have the habit of contacting officials privately on weekdays, but the people who were supposed to see them were still able to see them, not for the sake of future scientific examinations or the convenience of being an official, but to bring him to understand some worldly customs first, so that he would not enter the court in the future. Don't even recognize it.
"Hunting?"
Fu Xian was a little excited when he heard this, "Your Majesty has not held a hunt for several years, and I don't know when it will be this time?" After that, he went to see Li Qinyuan, "Qilang, this time, are you going?"
"When I was hunting a few years ago, His Majesty asked you in public."
Li Qinyuan didn't care about this topic. Hearing the words, he just replied lightly: "Let's talk about it." The movement in his hand did not stop. After peeling the small handful of melon seeds in front of him, he pushed it to Gu Wuyou.
"Um?"
Gu Wuyou was sitting and listening to them, when she suddenly saw melon seeds piled up like a hill in front of her, she blinked a few times before turning to look at Li Qinyuan in confusion.
Li Qinyuan's ears were a little red when she saw it. He picked up the wet handkerchief on the table and wiped his hands before coughing lightly, "Don't you like it? Eat it, peel it off."
"You are enough."
Fu Xian folded his arms, as if shaking with goose bumps.
Although the rest of the people didn't speak, they all had smiles on their faces. Even Gu Yu, who had never liked Li Qinyuan very much, saw them like this, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Gu Wuyou didn't expect Li Qinyuan to notice such details, and he was laughed at again, his face was red, but the corners of his mouth were raised, and his voice was suppressed, and he said to the person very sweetly, "Thank you. "
Then, like a little squirrel, he lowered his head and ate.
When she was eating, Li Qinyuan held a cup of tea and looked at her with his head propped up, and when he heard Fu Xian ask him, "Qilang, how are you going to celebrate your birthday this year?"
Only then did he lift his eyes and replied lazily, "Just like before, go home and have a meal and leave."
He has always been like this. Even during the New Year, he rarely stays at home. Sometimes he doesn't even eat food. Wandering on the road, casually walk into a wine shop or tea house, and listen to a book all night.
For him, it didn't make any difference.
When Fu Xian heard this, he frowned, "Why don't you come to my house after dinner, anyway, my parents like you, and my brothers have been looking forward to you, and we can sleep together at night."
Qi Xu also said, "My family can too! My aunt mentioned you a few days ago!"
Although Jing Yubai didn't speak, he also looked at Li Qinyuan.
"do not."
Li Qinyuan smiled and said, "I don't want to go to your side on such a day." Seeing that Fu Xian and the others had to say more, he smiled, "Okay, don't worry about me, I will arrange it myself."
Gu Yu was a little curious and asked, "When is your birthday?"
Fu Xian sighed and answered Li Qinyuan, "New Year's Eve."
On another day, they would still be able to come out to celebrate Qilang's birthday, but it was New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, they just couldn't figure it out, and Qilang refused to go to their side... It was quite a headache.
Gu Yu: "..."
This day, it is indeed a bit difficult to handle.
Turning her head and looking at Gu Wuyou, she could not help raising her eyebrows when she saw that she was nothing to do. She always felt that Gu Wuyou already knew Li Qinyuan's birthday, and also arranged for the back-up, otherwise it would be impossible to be so quiet .
Since he couldn't celebrate his birthday, Fu Xian could only say, "Since you've been living at home these few days, I'll bring the gift to Li's house later."
Li Qinyuan nodded.
The servant had already come in to set up the table, Li Qinyuan turned his head to look at Gu Wuyou, and saw that she was still eating melon seeds with her head down, without saying a word, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But only a little bit.
After all, this day was indeed too special, and it was normal for her not to come out.
The author has something to say: Qilang: My daughter-in-law didn't know my birthday, and she didn't say she wanted to accompany me on my birthday, so sad.
Manman: I have to prepare a surprise for the general.
