Qiao Nian pursed her lips and was silent for a moment.
"I'm going to take the college entrance exam soon."
In fact, during those few seconds of her silence, the man's back was already tense and his mood was changing. It seemed as if his heart was lifted in mid-air, and whether it would fall into the clouds or hell depended entirely on her words.
Unexpectedly, the answer was neither particularly good nor bad.
"Is the college entrance examination important to you?" Qiao Nian ranked first in the joint entrance examination of Tsinghua University. He took the college entrance examination just to go through the formalities of bypassing the city's No. 1 Middle School.
"Hmm?" Qiao Nian had never seen him express his feelings this way before. He was more proactive and aggressive than the person being confessed to. She suppressed the irritation in her eyes, was silent for two seconds, and then looked at him again, wicked and arrogant: "It's still very important. I don't want to be second."
"The college entrance exam is coming up soon, so I will definitely have to spend time reviewing."
This answer is reasonable but also a bit perfunctory.
Mr. Ye was never the type to be fooled. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then after the college entrance examination, I can wait."
Qiao Nian paused and said, "I didn't say that." She only said that she had to prepare for the college entrance examination, but she didn't say that she would answer him immediately after the exam.
Ye Wangchuan raised the corners of his mouth, his face swirling with smiles. He raised his hand to brush away the loose hair that had fallen from her brow bone, and raised his hand again to shamelessly rub the girl's hair. He smiled and said, "There is still half a month left. Study hard. I'll wait for your answer after the college entrance examination."
Qiao Nian: “…”
Didn’t she say that? He doesn’t even need to listen to others? ? ?
Why should she even think about it? It would be better for him to decide on his own.
She was quite aroused and was about to speak when she suddenly smelled a faint scent of alcohol and heard a man's low and hoarse voice approaching her.
"Before that, I need to advance my boyfriend's power."
"Forehead… "
Before she could react, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her lips. Just for a moment, it was like an electric shock. Qiao Nian's mind went blank and she subconsciously clenched her hands without reacting.
The man had already turned his head away, lowered his arm, and no longer pushed her against the car, as if nothing had happened, and resumed his usual dignified and lazy expression. He opened the car door, put his hand on it, and looked leisurely: "Qin Si wants to buy you a drink of water, and found me. Do you want to go?" "..." Qiao Nian couldn't understand how he managed to act like a hooligan so naturally and smoothly, and yet he could talk to her calmly
It can be seen that he is also a beast in human clothing in his daily life, but his gentle appearance is so deceptive that no one can discover it.
*
In a restaurant not far from the Imperial Palace, Wei Ling was chatting with Steven and others in a private room.
Qiao Chen came out to get some fresh air under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
She turned on the faucet and rinsed the back of her hands. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the figure she saw at the gate of the Imperial Mansion today.
Although Wei Ling said that person couldn't be Qiao Nian, she always had an uneasy feeling lingering in her heart.
Qiao Chen bit her lip, staring at herself in the mirror who was becoming increasingly calm. She turned off the faucet, took out her cell phone from her handbag, and after searching for a long time, she found Xu Xu's phone number.
Ever since the joint entrance examination results came out a month ago and Qiao Nian's scores crushed hers, she has not had any contact with anyone from her former school.
She hesitated for only a moment before calling.
The call went through, but the other party didn't answer and hung up quickly.
Qiao Chen was not in a hurry. She looked at the time and saw that No. 1 Middle School should be in class. She waited patiently for a few minutes. Sure enough, Xu Xu called back soon after, with a cheerful tone.
"Hey, Chenchen, I was in class just now. I didn't dare to take the old witch's class, so I sneaked out. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Qiao Chen lowered her eyebrows gently and asked in a low voice: "Xu Xu, has Qiao Nian gone back to school?"
Good morning, my little cuties, on the first day of 2021.
