She was shocked by these words. She didn't try to stop Qi Weichen until the door closed. She sat on the bed for a while and couldn't help laughing. She fell on the bed and rolled around in her arms under the quilt. After a long time, she yawned and suddenly felt sleepy.
… It seemed that the alcohol from the night had finally taken effect. Chu Qing turned over and soon fell into a deep sleep.
When Qi Weichen returned to the room, Qi Muyang was almost awake. The father and son looked at each other in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Muyang sighed, "Is my mother angry?"
Qi Weichen recalled what happened in Chu Qing's room just now, and his eyes softened a little: "No."
"That's good." Qi Muyang fell back onto the bed.
Qi Weichen glanced at him and said, "Don't you need to explain this to your friends?"
"No need. They are not very smart and should not be able to guess the truth." Qi Muyang said vaguely, then fell asleep on the bed.
Qi Weichen didn't think any more after hearing this and lay down on the bed next to him. Soon the family of three fell asleep.
Since they went to bed early at night, the family of three woke up early too. They asked the hotel front desk and learned that the three people came back in the second half of the night, so they did not wake them up. The three of them went home after breakfast. It was not until noon that they received text messages from the fat man and others.
The first day of revelry after the college entrance examination seemed to be just a signal that we could have fun. Qi Muyang stayed at home for two days and approached his parents: "Little Fatty and the others are going to the beach to play, can we go with them?"
"You go and have fun. Your mother and I won't go." Qi Weichen said lightly.
Chu Qing yawned and looked at him in confusion. His eyes fell on her abdomen. Chu Qing was stunned for a moment and then she remembered that her period was coming soon.
… Then it’s really hard to go to the beach.
Qi Muyang was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't throw a tantrum: "Then I'll go by myself."
"How many days will you be gone?" Chu Qing asked carefully. Ever since Qi Weichen told her that they could leave at any time, she didn't want to be separated from Qi Muyang. She always wanted to stay together as long as possible.
Qi Muyang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it will take about a week."
"Will he be able to catch up with the results?" Chu Qing was a little worried. In this era, the college entrance examination results only take ten days to come out. Now it is the third day after the college entrance examination. She hopes that he can be with her and Qi Weichen on the day the results are released.
"I actually forgot about this," Qi Muyang slapped his forehead, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back a day earlier."
"Then, then you should be careful." Chu Qing had nothing to say. She gave a few instructions and went back to her room.
Not long after, Qi Weichen followed in, sat down next to her, and asked in a low voice: "If you don't want him to leave, I can let him stay."
"... I'd rather not. I hope to give him the greatest possible freedom," Chu Qing exhaled softly, and adjusted herself in just a moment. "So, what's next? It's just the two of us, right?"
Qi Weichen looked at her steadily for a moment, and when he was sure that her mood had improved, he smiled gently.
The next day after Qi Muyang said he was going out to play, he went out to play with his friends. The house suddenly became quiet, and Chu Qing felt very melancholy.
In order to coax her, Qi Weichen took her to the amusement park, took her out to eat, watch movies, and date. However, no matter what she did, she looked uninterested. In the end, he could only use his ultimate weapon: "Do you want to do the test paper?"
"… Why do we have to take the test?" Chu Qing looked horrified.
Qi Weichen looked at her calmly: "According to my scoring standards, your score for this year's college entrance examination paper is only 522, which is far from the passing score of A University in previous years."
Chu Qing: “…” Ah, she actually forgot that she hasn’t officially taken the college entrance examination yet, so she has to keep reviewing.
After a moment of silence, she said carefully: "How about I wait until Qi Muyang's results come out, and then I can study hard?"
"No, come here and do the questions." Qi Weichen said in a stern manner.
Chu Qing's mouth twitched, but she finally compromised after a while and started to do the test questions resignedly. Because she was entangled with the test papers, she didn't have time to think about anything else. When Qi Muyang came back from outside, he was still a little confused: "Why did you come back so soon?"
"Didn't we agree to come back before the results come out?" Qi Muyang obviously didn't apply sunscreen properly. He looked darker, making his exposed teeth look even whiter.
Chu Qing suddenly realized: "The results will be announced tonight, right?"
"Generally speaking it's 12 o'clock at night, but it may be later or earlier." Qi Muyang said.
Chu Qing nodded: "That's pretty much the same as when we were there."
The mother and son looked at each other and suddenly became nervous.
"...Mom, I think my heart is beating a little fast." Qi Muyang swallowed.
Chu Qing's mouth twitched: "Stop talking, I still want to have a good meal tonight."
After they finished talking, they sat on the sofa together, like two beautiful puppets, staring at the ground with their eyes wide open. When Qi Weichen came out and saw the mother and son, he paused for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We're nervous." Chu Qing whispered.
Qi Weichen was silent for a moment: "It's past three in the afternoon now, and there are still nearly nine hours before the results are released. Aren't you getting nervous too early?"
"What is it to you?" Chu Qing glanced at him and continued to be nervous.
Qi Muyang huddled next to Chu Qing, obviously on his mother's side. Qi Weichen ignored them and went to the supermarket to buy some food, and then went somewhere else to buy some snacks for the mother and son. When he returned home, two hours had passed.
The mother and son were still sitting on the sofa, maintaining their original posture.
Qi Weichen went to cook in silence, fried two dishes and ordered a takeout, then came out to invite the two of them to eat.
"I have no appetite." Qi Muyang frowned.
Chu Qing also felt bitter and resentful: "Me too."
Seeing this, Qi Weichen simply stopped trying to persuade them. When the takeaway was delivered, he put it on the table and started eating. The mother and son smelled the aroma of the food and couldn't help asking, "What are we having for dinner today?"
"I fried cola chicken wings and garlic broccoli, and ordered crab claws and crayfish," Qi Weichen said calmly, "You two are not hungry, why are you asking these questions?"
Chu Qing swallowed her saliva and looked at Qi Muyang silently. As his mother's lackey, Qi Muyang immediately said, "Mom, although we are not hungry, we still have to eat something, otherwise how can we hold on until 12 o'clock."
"You're right, let's eat something then." Chu Qing said.
So the mother and son shamelessly came to the dining table and cleared everything on the table. When they were so full that they needed to collapse on the sofa, they were not so nervous anymore and watched TV lazily.
Qi Weichen quietly accompanied them, and the family of three watched TV while waiting for the results to come out. At about ten o'clock in the evening, Qi Muyang, who had just rushed back by car during the day, could no longer open his eyelids, and Chu Qing, who had recently developed a good work and rest schedule, was also yawning from sleepiness.
"Go to sleep. It will be the same tomorrow morning." Qi Weichen said slowly.
Qi Muyang shook his head: "No, I have to wait." Just as he finished speaking, he yawned again.
Chu Qing seconded: "I want to wait too."
Qi Weichen glanced at the two of them, silently turned down the volume of the TV, and when the two closed their eyes, he simply turned off the TV and covered each of them with a blanket.
After finishing all this, he sat and waited patiently until midnight. Then he turned on the computer that had been prepared on the side and slowly entered Qi Muyang's admission ticket number.
Although he said he was taking his time, his fingers were somewhat out of control and he made three or four mistakes in typing a simple row of numbers. By the time he logged in, two minutes had passed.
The moment the results popped up, Qi Weichen stared at the computer screen quietly, unable to say a word.
"Dad, are the results out..." Qi Muyang woke up at some point and asked vaguely while rubbing his eyes.
Qi Weichen looked at him: "It's out."
Qi Muyang looked at him for a moment, his eyes gradually cleared up, and the smile on his face slowly faded: "Is it not good?"
Qi Weichen pondered for a moment and said, "Not good."
Qi Muyang's heart shrank, and he clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, he reluctantly said, "I understand..."
"If you want to go to University A, you can only choose a language major," Qi Weichen looked at him and said slowly, "other majors don't have targeted bonus points, so they may be a bit far behind."
Qi Muyang was stunned for a moment, then strode towards him, taking the results in an instant.
Chinese 121, Mathematics 102, English 148, Comprehensive Science 234, total score 605.
In previous years, the language score line of University A was basically between 620 and 640. His score plus the extra points from the debate competition was 665, which could be said to be a sure thing. Qi Muyang was stunned for a long time before he asked Qi Weichen stiffly: "... Dad, this is not good enough for me?"
His best mock score was 582. Now he got more than 20 points more in the college entrance examination. Isn’t this an extraordinary performance
"Is it good?" Qi Weichen asked back, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. In his opinion, if he wanted to go to University A with this score, he could only rely on extra points, which would limit his choice of majors, which was really not good.
Qi Muyang was silent for a moment, thinking that he was asking for trouble by talking to him, and decided to find a normal person to share his joy with, so he decisively went back to the sofa and shook Chu Qing. Chu Qing suddenly woke up: "Are the results out?!"
"It's out! I can go to A University!" Qi Muyang said excitedly.
Chu Qing looked at him in confusion, obviously still asleep, and it took her a long time to open her eyes wide: "Can I go to University A?!"
"Um!"
The mother and son were silent for a moment, and then burst into cheers the next second. Qi Muyang was so happy that he used his mobile phone to call relatives and friends in the middle of the night to spread the good news everywhere. When his grandmother received his call in the middle of the night, she thought something had happened and was so scared that she almost fell off the bed. But when she heard that he had done so well in the exam, she was also very happy. If Qi Muyang hadn't stopped her in time, she would probably have come to see him in the middle of the night.
Chu Qing had no friends to notify, so she happily went to provoke Qi Weichen, her eyes full of smiles. Qi Weichen had no choice but to accept her annoyance and let her jump around.
The mother and son didn't fall asleep until three in the morning, and the next day was a new excitement. Chu Qing woke up early in the morning, and when she arrived in the living room, she found Qi Muyang was on a video call with Fatty, so she smiled and went over.
After saying hello, the little fat boy asked Chu Qing: "Master Chu, I heard from the boss that you and Qi Shen didn't take the college entrance examination."
"Well, no, I have other arrangements." Chu Qing smiled, knowing that the results were out and she couldn't hide it anymore, so she explained generously.
The little fat boy immediately envied: "Going abroad too? That's great, but it's a pity that Qi Shen didn't take the college entrance examination. He had a chance to get the top score."
"Let's not talk about us first. How did you do in the exam?" Chu Qing asked with a smile.
The fat boy perked up: "I scored 489, the treacherous minister scored 473, and Chen Xiu was amazing this time, she scored 513. Anyway, they all scored better than we expected, and our family is very satisfied."
"That's good. It's time to apply for college in a few days. Have you thought about what to apply for?" Chu Qing asked again.
The little fat man sighed: "I haven't thought about it yet, so I plan to make an appointment with you to discuss it together."
"Sure, you set the time." Chu Qing smiled.
The little fat man chuckled: "Okay!"
The fat guy showed up as planned, and brought along the treacherous minister and Chen Xiu, and had their meal right next to Chu Qing's residential area. The meal turned out to be bad and expensive, so the group moved back to the barbecue stand next to the school halfway through the meal.
"That meal just now, with only a few dishes, cost over 400 yuan. Those who cheat are making money so fast," the fat boy took a bite of the mutton skewer viciously. "I didn't know what major to choose before, but now I finally know."
"What to choose? Law? Specializing in dealing with unscrupulous businessmen?" Chu Qing asked slowly.
The fat boy snorted, "Choose business! I want to make some dirty money too."
"... Your awareness is really admirable." Chu Qing looked at him speechlessly.
The treacherous minister immediately said, "Then I have figured out what to do."
"You also want to make dirty money?" Chu Qing raised her eyebrows.
The treacherous official chuckled, "I'm going to apply to the police academy and become a police officer to catch him."
"Do you have a grudge against me?!" the little fat man complained.
Qi Weichen ate quietly. Qi Muyang beside him glanced at the silent Chen Xiu thoughtfully: "Have you decided what to report?"
"I want to study accounting." Chen Xiu's eyes sparkled.
Qi Muyang nodded: "Very good."
"Now that you have chosen your major, have you decided where to study?" Chu Qing asked curiously.
Qi Muyang didn't even think about it: "Of course it's City A. I'm here, where can they go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Qi Muyang paused and looked up at them: "Are you going somewhere else?"
"The major I want to choose would preferably be studied in a school in City C." Chen Xiu whispered.
The fat guy was also a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure, but there are too few choices in City A. It's probably not here."
"... Me, me too. Although I'm not sure what major to choose, I probably won't be in City A." The treacherous minister lowered his head, not daring to look at Qi Muyang.
Qi Muyang was silent for a long time, and said expressionlessly: "Then I wish you a safe journey."
Others: “…” Can you be a little more sincere
The meal ended in a suddenly cold atmosphere. The family of three was silent all the way until they walked into the house without saying a word. Qi Muyang was about to go back to the house with a gloomy look on his face, and Qi Weichen suddenly said, "If they ask you to go to another city, will you go?"
Qi Muyang was somewhat uninterested: "I know what you want to say."
"You are unhappy now because you are used to them being around you. In essence, it is because you have always been the pampered one among your friends, so you took it for granted that they would stay with you in college," Qi Weichen paused after speaking, "In the final analysis, it is because you are spoiled by being pampered."
Qi Muyang pursed his lips: "I just couldn't control it."
"But you can't control yourself, and that makes your friends unhappy," Qi Weichen said calmly, "They must be very upset now. They haven't done anything wrong, but because they are used to pampering you, they feel guilty reflexively."
Qi Muyang was stunned and his eyes widened slightly.
Qi Weichen knew that he had figured it out, and his eyes softened: "As a father, I hope that you will be treated well by everyone, but I also hope that when you are treated well, you can treat others well."
Qi Muyang was still in a daze, and Chu Qing quickly pushed him: "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Go apologize to your friends."
This sentence woke Qi Muyang up from his dream, and he immediately turned around and ran out of the door to find his friends.
Chu Qing sighed: "It's great to be young."
"You are also very good." Qi Weichen added.
Chu Qing: “?” What a mess.
The author has something to say: Qi Weichen: I am used to answering questions, so I don’t use my brain anymore.
Qingqing: ...Oh
The countdown to the end is only in the next two days. The things after traveling back in time will be written as a side story. And the part where Qingqing chases Qi Shen, which everyone wants to see, should also be written in a small side story (about one chapter?). As for the other things, such as Mu Yangzi traveling back in time to 2019, I'm not sure if I will write about it.
In addition, everyone mentioned why we don’t look at the 2019 college entrance examination papers in 2042. As mentioned before, the college entrance examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. If Qingqing passes the exam in this way, someone will fail because of her. She disdains this. We are very decent!
