Ye Ci went into the bathroom.
Ning Li raised her eyes and glanced over Ye Ci's suitcase.
Along the way, Ye Ci always kept a close eye on her things, and never opened the suitcase in front of her.
Moreover, after taking out the needed things, Ye Ci would lock the box again.
Ning Li looked away.
After about half an hour, the sound of water stopped, and Ye Ci came out.
She seemed to be used to Ning Li's indifferent attitude, after tidying up briefly, she lay down on the table and continued to read.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Ning Li changed into her clothes and was going to have breakfast on the second floor of the hotel.
Ye Ci was arranging her schoolbag, when she turned her head and saw Ning Li's outfit, she was stunned.
"Sister Ning Li, why aren't you wearing that red down jacket?"
Ning Li was wearing the off-white down jacket she put on when she came yesterday.
Ning Li glanced at her.
Ye Ci quickly explained:
"I think red is a good color. Look, the sweater I'm wearing inside is also red today."
Ning Li raised her eyebrows:
"I think it's pretty much the same."
Ye Ci hesitated to speak.
tuk tuk.
There was a knock on the door, and it was Zhou Fei's voice.
"Ning Li, Ye Ci, are you up yet? Hurry up and go downstairs. We'll go to the examination room after dinner."
Ning Li responded.
"coming."
Ye Ci could only swallow the rest of the words, and hastily put on her bag to keep up.
Restaurant on the second floor.
Hotel breakfast is buffet.
Zhou Fei and Pei Song had already come over first. Seeing Ning Li coming, Zhou Fei waved towards them.
Ning Li walked over, put down her backpack, and went to pick up the meal.
Pei Song happened to be queuing at the front, saw her from the side, and nodded slightly to say hello.
His eyes swept over Ning Li's dinner plate, and suddenly said:
"The hot spring eggs boiled in this hotel are famous, you can try them."
Ning Li was a little surprised, but then remembered that Pei Song is also considered a half-capital native, so it's not surprising that he would know this.
She nodded.
"good."
"Ning Li? Pei Song?"
A somewhat familiar voice came.
Ning Li turned her head and saw a person standing in the drinking area not far away.
Cao Jingxuan.
She was holding a cup of banana milkshake in her hand, smiling and walking towards this side.
At this time, Ye Ci happened to come over and greeted him first.
"Jingxuan, morning."
From the looks of it, it was not unexpected to meet Cao Jingxuan here.
Ning Li's eyes moved slightly:
"You live here too?"
"yes."
Cao Jingxuan smiled generously,
"Because several people from our school participated in the competition, their homes are far from the No. 1 Middle School. For the convenience of management, the school arranged for us to live here. I only found out last night that you also live here, but it was too late, so I will let you live here." Didn't bother."
Ning Li understood.
"so."
"Hey, don't you have something to drink?" Cao Jingxuan said, and handed over the banana milkshake in her hand, "I haven't had this cup yet, do you want to try it? They said it was delicious."
Ning Li declined:
"No, thanks."
Cao Jingxuan insisted on handing it over:
"It's okay, if you don't like it after drinking it, just don't drink it."
Ning Li narrowed her eyes slightly:
"It's really not necessary—"
Bang—crash!
Cao Jingxuan's hand suddenly slipped for no reason, and the small glass full of banana milkshake fell on Ning Li's dinner plate.
Ning Li made a wrong step and turned her elbow in a slight arc.
The dinner plate, together with the cup, fell to the ground with a clatter.
Pei Song grabbed Ning Li's arm and pulled her away.
"careful!"
But it was still a step late, Ning Li's clothes were stained.
Also affected was Ye Ci who was standing on the other side.
The whole restaurant fell silent, and many people looked over here.
Cao Jingxuan immediately apologized nervously and apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! Ning Li, Ye Ci, are you all right?"
Pei Song glanced at Ning Li, saw that she was only dirty clothes, and quickly let go of her hand, only looking at Cao Jingxuan, her brows and eyes became more and more indifferent.
Ning Li looked at the marks on her clothes and frowned slightly.
Ye Ci's situation was a bit more embarrassing than hers, but she still said immediately:
"It's okay, Sister Ning Li and I both brought a change of clothes, we just need to go back and change."
Zhou Fei also came over:
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Ning Li shook her head.
"Teacher Zhou, I'll go up and change clothes."
Zhou Fei felt relieved after hearing her say that.
"That's good."
Soon a restaurant waiter came to clean up.
Ning Li and Ye Ci returned to the room.
Cao Jingxuan stood where she was, as if she was still very guilty.
Zhou Fei looked at her:
"One middle school?"
Only then did Cao Jingxuan realize that he seemed familiar.
"Senior Zhou Fei?"
Zhou Fei and Lu Huaiyu were in the same class. They were handsome and handsome, and their school history was also legendary. Their fame was almost second only to Lu Huaiyu.
That's why Cao Jingxuan could recognize it.
Zhou Fei put one hand in her pocket:
"Sister, if you like banana milkshake, just drink it by yourself. If others say no, then you don't want it, understand?"
Ning Li and Ye Ci returned to the room.
Ning Li's suitcase was originally laid out beside the bed, so she took off the one on her body and put on the red one directly.
Not only was Ye Ci's clothes dirty, her hair was even stained.
She went to the bathroom to tidy up briefly, then came out to open the lockbox, and changed into an orange and white parka down jacket with contrasting colors.
"She was too careless."
While changing her clothes, she muttered softly, as if she was also quite dissatisfied with this.
Ning Li said lightly:
"She didn't mean to."
Ye Ci glanced sideways at her.
"Sister Ning Li, are you not angry?"
"There's nothing to be angry about. Time is running out, let's go."
Ning Li put her phone in her pocket and walked outside.
Ye Ci locked the suitcase, messed up the code, and then went out.
When Ning Li and the two returned to the restaurant, Cao Jingxuan had already finished eating and left.
The two took their meals again.
After a quick breakfast, Zhou Fei took them to No. 1 Middle School.
As an examination room, Beijing No. 1 Middle School deliberately had a holiday today.
At the school gate, Zhou Fei handed out the certificates to them one by one.
"Go in, don't be nervous, just play normally!"
Ning Li took the admission ticket, her fingers tightened slightly.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou."
Her phone vibrated, it was a text message from Lu Huaiyu.
[Take a good exam and you will be rewarded.]
The corner of her lips pursed into a small pear dimple.
[good.]
Then, she turned off her mobile phone and walked forward.
There are a total of 52 candidates, all in the same large examination room.
The invigilation of the final exam was very strict. Four teachers invigilated the exam at the same time, and cameras were set up at the front and back of the classroom.
Everyone will be tested at the entrance of the examination room, and all stationery will be distributed uniformly, and personal possession is not allowed.
Seats are assigned randomly.
Ning Li's position is in the last row of the third column.
Coincidentally, Pei Song was on her left, while Ye Ci was in front of her right.
Ning Li sat down in her seat.
It was very quiet in the classroom.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and even people who knew each other stopped chatting with each other.
When the bell rang, everyone was refreshed.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
very good.
here we go.
