Back in the room, Qi Surong saw Gu Jinyun sneaking in again at some point and sitting by the window looking at her.
"Why are you here?" Qi Surong walked over with a smile.
"Crystal lotus seed soup." Gu Jinyun pushed the porcelain cup on the coffee table.
"Thank you." Qi Surong opened the lid, picked up the spoon, took a spoonful, and was about to put it in his mouth. Seeing Gu Jinyun staring at her intently, she handed the spoon to his mouth, "Here, open your mouth."
Gu Jinyun opened his mouth to eat and continued to look at her.
"How does it taste?" Qi Surong also took a taste, not caring that the two of them shared the same spoon.
"Of course it's good." His eyes fell on her lips unconsciously, slightly in a trance.
"Yeah." Qi Surong looked satisfied as she ate the sweet lotus seed soup.
"You went to Yingshu Pavilion today." Gu Jinyun said suddenly.
"Yes, I want to copy a few books and come back to read them." Qi Surong replied casually.
"I met Feng Zhan."
Qi Surong glanced at him: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Don't like him getting too close to you."
"Huh?" Qi Surong asked curiously, "Why?"
"The way he looks at you is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"like me."
Qi Surong was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Gu Jinyun, and saw that his eyes were focused and affectionate. She looked away with a blush on her face and said: "Nonsense, how do you look like you? Since Feng Zhan returned to Beijing, I have only seen him as 'Zhuo Fan'. How could he look at a young man with such eyes?" "
"Maybe he has a habit of cutting off his sleeves." Gu Jinyun speculated darkly.
Qi Surong pointed at him and smiled: "Have you ever been so harmful to others? Has he offended you before?"
"No." Gu Jinyun denied with a cold face.
Qi Surong continued to drink her lotus seed soup, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Are you jealous just now?"
"Yes." He admitted firmly.
"Hehe." Qi Surong pursed her lips and smiled, then took another spoonful of soup and handed it to his mouth, coaxing, "Come on, sweeten it and it won't be sour anymore."
Gu Jinyun opened his mouth to eat and said, "It's still sour."
"Then take another bite."
"Still sour."
"Come again."
"Still sour."
Seeing the bottom of the cup of lotus seed soup, Gu Jinyun was still feeling sour.
Qi Surong suddenly leaned over the coffee table, raised her head and kissed him on the lips, and asked softly: "Are you still sore?"
Gu Jinyun's eyes were shining, he held the back of her head and kissed her back affectionately.
"There are only three months." Gu Jinyun said in a low voice, "In three months, you will be my wife."
Qi Surong looked at him quietly.
"I don't like the look in your eyes now." Gu Jinyun reached out and gently touched the corners of her eyes, "There are too many things hidden."
"Jinyun, I'm scared." Qi Surong said in a depressed voice.
"What are you afraid of?"
“I’m afraid that I’ll make a mistake, and I’m afraid that I won’t be able to help the people around me avoid disaster in the end.”
"Rong'er, no one in the world is immune to mistakes." Gu Jinyun held her in his arms and said warmly, "You are not alone, you have me. Even if you make mistakes, I will be with you."
"What if the cost of making a mistake is the destruction of the family?"
Gu Jinyun was silent for a while and said: "There used to be a big river in my hometown, which blocked the villagers' way into the city. Villagers often had to take a long detour to get into the city, and during the rainy season, this river would flood half of the fertile fields. .So someone proposed to build a bridge over the river and build embankments along the river."
"What happened next? Did you repair it?"
"No." Gu Jinyun continued, "The river is very wide and fast. Building bridges and embankments requires a lot of money. The villagers are very poor and cannot afford the money. But this river is always a hidden danger to the village and cannot be ignored. In the end , someone figured out a way.”
"any solution?"
"He asked the villagers to dig tributaries on both sides of the river, not one or two, but dozens of them, bypassing the village, bypassing the fields, and bypassing the mountains, criss-crossing like a web. Then, they built tributaries near the river. It took nearly a year to build stone bridges one after another and pile them up section by section. Finally, a zigzag stone bridge was built over the river. This move not only solved the frequent floods in recent years, but also connected the river. On both sides, a shortcut to the town has been built for the villagers.”
"Awesome." Qi Surong praised.
"The river surges like an unshakable behemoth, but when it is divided into several tributaries, it is no longer an uncrossable gap."
Qi Surong had a clear mind and vaguely understood what he meant.
"Rong'er," Gu Jinyun raised her chin and said seriously, "if mistakes are unavoidable, then try to turn one big mistake into several small mistakes, and then use your own power to make these small mistakes one by one. Intangible. If you can't do it alone, then join forces with everyone. Your family, your friends, and me will support you unconditionally."
Qi Surong hugged his waist tightly, feeling warm and moved in her heart.
"This is the first time... I hear you say so many words." She choked.
"If you don't say it, you will become sick with worry."
"How can I get sick from worry?" Qi Surong muttered dissatisfiedly.
"I told you before that you are too thoughtful. At such a young age, you don't know how to relax."
"Oh? Then you know?" Qi Surong looked up at him and asked with a smile, "How about you teach me?"
Gu Jinyun thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Shopping?"
"It's boring." Qi Surong shook his head.
"Outing?"
"I have visited all the places of interest near the capital."
"fishing?"
"dislike."
"..." Gu Jinyun remained silent. It turns out that he is not a person who knows how to relax either.
"Is there more?" Qi Surong said with a smile. Seeing him in trouble made me very happy.
"Also," Gu Jinyun looked at him deeply and said, "have a baby with Gu Jinyun."
"..." Qi Surong's expression changed slightly, she withdrew from his arms and turned her back.
"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyun frowned.
"It's okay." Qi Surong's face turned pale, and his heart ached.
"Did I say something wrong?" Gu Jinyun turned her around.
Qi Surong shook his head, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It's really okay, I'm just a little tired."
Gu Jinyun looked at her for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and you can have a good rest."
"Yeah." Qi Surong nodded obediently.
Gu Jinyun possessed her and kissed her on the forehead, then jumped out of the window.
After Qi Surong left, she walked straight into the room and sat feebly by the bed.
Baby? She clutched her belly, a look of pain on her face. There was once a life gestating in her belly, but she didn't keep it.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She lost too much in her last life, and she must never let tragedy happen again in this life. Qi Surong slowly raised his head, with determination in his tearful eyes.
A few days later, the college entrance examination officially began. The content of the examination is indeed as Qi Surong said, abandoning poetry and songs and focusing on classics, meanings and policy discussions.
While Ji Yun and others were horrified, they were also secretly thankful. They had previously had an in-depth discussion with their husband based on the current situation, and even selected a few topics for discussion.
Among Xu Chen's three students, Ji Yun is the best at strategy, Huang Zheng is second, and Sun Junxuan is the weakest. There happened to be one topic in this topic that Sun Junxuan had done in the past few days, and he also commented and supplemented it. What was originally a second-rate policy essay turned into an above-average one. He was overjoyed and responded directly with this policy statement.
After the examination, the candidates walked out of the Gongyuan in twos and threes, some with gloomy expressions, and some with cheerful faces.
The three of Ji Yun met and asked each other about their respective exams.
Sun Junxuan whispered: "If Zhuo Fan hadn't reminded me, I might have died this time."
Huang Zheng smiled and said: "There are three policy essays. How many did you answer?"
"Two articles." Sun Junxuan said distressedly, "I don't know how to hit the topic for the third article, so it will probably be rated as inferior."
"Don't worry, just let nature take its course." Huang Zheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Ji Yun looked around and asked, "Have you seen Zhuo Fan?"
Sun and Huang looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"I don't know which examination room he is in. I haven't seen him yet." Sun Junxuan waved his hand.
"You will know when you go back and ask."
"You ask me how I did in the exam?" Qi Surong replied with a smile in the bookstore, "I didn't take the exam at all."
"What?" The three of them were shocked at the same time. I thought that because of his divination ability, he would be able to pass the exam in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly he didn't take the exam at all.
"Why not take the exam?" Sun Junxuan asked, "Even if you are not a graduate, you can still take the exam as an exception as long as you ask a reputable adult to recommend you?"
"I have no intention of pursuing an official career." Qi Surong said calmly while copying the book, "Compared with being an official, I prefer to be a hermit who lives in the clouds and cranes."
"Hermit?" Sun Junxuan yelled strangely, "How old are you? Do you want to be a hermit?"
Which young man is not young, frivolous and ambitious? The person in front of me has a desire to avoid the world at a young age, which is really weird.
Huang Zheng was the first to smile and said: "Brother Zhuo is really different, his temperament is very free and easy. In thirty years' time, I also want to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and live leisurely. How about living next to you then?"
"You guys are really thinking far ahead." Sun Junxuan patted his forehead.
"It's a pity." Ji Yun said, "If Junior Zhuo takes the national examination, maybe the four of us will win the exam at the same time."
"That's right!" Sun Junxuan high-fived, "Then our Yingshu Pavilion will be in the limelight. All five of Sir's students are on the list. Hahaha, it's very satisfying to think about it."
"With you, that's enough." Qi Surong looked at the three of them with a deep look and a smile.
Ji Yun once felt like he was being seen through. He didn't really believe in Zhuo Fan's theory of numerology before, but after the test, he began to believe it. The young man in front of him had a special pair of eyes. Whenever "he" stared at others intently, he always seemed to be able to see something. He didn't like this feeling very much, but he didn't feel disgusted either.
Five days later, the exam results will be released.
Jiyun High School's top pick, Huang Zheng ranked seventh, and Sun Junxuan ranked thirteenth.
