Chapter 236 The Unspeakable Secret

This diagnostic test only covers two subjects: Chinese and Ideological and Political Education.

The Chinese exam includes fill-in-the-blank questions, classical poetry recitation, reading comprehension, and composition.

These were not difficult for Jiang Zhizhi; in fact, they were quite simple. She had been memorizing political ideology very well lately.

But it was too difficult for Sun Xiaoyue. She couldn't even do the most basic fill-in-the-blank questions, she couldn't recognize all the pinyin, and she couldn't write the characters.

Sun Xiaoyue blushed as she looked at the test paper. After filling in a few questions over and over again, she suddenly fainted in her seat and fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone was startled. The proctor comforted the students while quickly performing first aid on Sun Xiaoyue. As medical school teachers, saving her was not a problem.

Under the pressure, Sun Xiaoyue had to open her eyes, but kept saying she felt dizzy.

The proctor could only help Sun Xiaoyue to the office to rest.

Jiang Zhizhi and Sun Xiaoyue were not in the same exam room. She only heard about it after the exam. Sun Xiaoyue had fainted during the exam and her face was swollen. It seemed to be quite serious.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng, who was in the same examination room as Jiang Zhizhi, quickly ran to the office to see Sun Xiaoyue.

Ge Qinghua was puzzled: "She seemed perfectly fine, so how did she suddenly faint?"

Jiang Zhizhi figured that Sun Xiaoyue was trying to avoid the exam and was just putting on a show of suffering.

However, he's quite ruthless towards himself.

…In the office, Sun Xiaoyue thought that her fall would allow her to escape the exam. She just needed to get through the training course and then ask Song Wanying to use her connections to get her into university.

As a result, after careful consideration, the teachers decided to create a new test paper for Sun Xiaoyue to take alone once she recovered.

Sun Xiaoyue was dumbfounded. She could fake fainting once, but she couldn't fake fainting twice!

His face was deathly pale, and there wasn't a trace of blood on his lips.

After returning to his seat in the classroom from the office, Cheng Feng continued to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but laugh, so she opened the book and buried herself in it, laughing.

After school, Zhou Xiye came to pick her up. On the way back, Jiang Zhizhi told him about Sun Xiaoyue and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She couldn't stop laughing and leaned against Zhou Xiye's back: "My God, you have no idea how ugly Sun Xiaoyue's face looked back then."

A question suddenly came to mind: "Zhou Xiye, if I hadn't made a scene back then, and Sun Xiaoyue had married you, would you have treated her this well?"

Without even thinking, Zhou Xiye quickly replied, "Definitely not. Not just anyone can like someone."

Jiang Zhizhi was fairly satisfied with his answer: "Then what would you do if you were forced to marry Sun Xiaoyue?"

Zhou Xiye thought back to his initial aversion to marriage: "I will persuade her to get a divorce."

Jiang Zhizhi blinked, recalling Zhou Xiye's tragic death in her dream, and Sun Xiaoyue's indifference when talking about Zhou Xiye's impending death in her previous life. It was clear that the two had no feelings for each other.

Suddenly, she hugged Zhou Xiye's waist tenderly and said, "Zhou Xiye, promise me you'll live to be a hundred."

Zhou Xiye didn't know why Jiang Zhizhi suddenly seemed a little sad, but he answered seriously, "Okay."

Then he changed the subject: "There's been progress in Xiao Liu's case. Xiao Liu was arrested today, and his uncle has also been detained. We'll have results soon."

Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

Zhou Xiye wasn't surprised: "It's not complicated. Once you're being watched, you're basically just waiting to close the net. Wang Xiaoliu had been doing this for a long time and always thought no one had noticed, so he was careless. This time, he was caught red-handed."

Jiang Zhizhi clicked her tongue in surprise, her face pressed against Zhou Xiye's back, and asked with a hint of gossip, "What will Zhou Xiaochuan's reaction be? He won't think it's a misunderstanding, will he?"

When Zhou Xiaochuan was mentioned, Zhou Xiye said helplessly, "He really didn't believe it. When the police asked him some questions, he kept saying it was a misunderstanding, that Xiao Liu wasn't that kind of person, and that Xiao Liu must have been deceived."

Jiang Zhizhi grinned and said, "What kind of bewitching potion did Wang Xiaoliu give him?"

Zhou Xiye was still more worried about Jiang Zhizhi: "If Zhou Xiaochuan comes back after I go to school tomorrow, and he dares to be rude to you, just beat him up without holding back."

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "If I beat him up, my parents will feel bad, right?"

“I will tell my parents that if they protect Zhou Xiaochuan and give you a hard time, you should go stay at Li Yuanchao’s house for now, and I will deal with it when I get back.”

Zhou Xiye had already considered these issues. It was most suitable for Jiang Zhizhi to stay at Shang Shiying's house. After all, Shang Shiying was her aunt and would definitely protect her.

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "If I go to Li Yuanchao's house to stay, my mom will definitely be worried. She thinks it would be very embarrassing."

No matter what kind of chaos occurs at home, it's fine as long as you don't leave the house.

Zhou Xiye thought for a moment and then instructed Jiang Zhizhi: "Also, be more clever at school. Don't be too impulsive if someone asks for your help, and don't drink water from outside. If you really encounter something you can't handle, go find Zhao Haiyang."

Jiang Zhizhi felt a little heartbroken: "Zhou Xiye, you study in Beijing and can only come home once every two weeks. You keep nagging like this. If you go to the Northwest, how can you bear to leave me alone in Beijing?"

Zhou Xiye tightened his grip on the handlebars. He hadn't felt it before, but now he truly understood the feeling of being deeply worried.

He always felt that as soon as he left, Jiang Zhizhi would encounter all sorts of problems that she wouldn't be able to handle, so he was very worried and anxious.

Jiang Zhizhi patted his back: "Don't worry, I can handle it. I can also get Mom to help me deal with Zhou Xiaochuan. If he's obedient, he might even be able to spend the New Year at home. If he's disobedient, believe it or not, Dad can send him to Xinjiang Province before the New Year."

Zhou Xiye actually believed this.

When Zhou Chengzhi is stubborn, no one can persuade him.

Because Zhou Xiye is going to school tomorrow, Fang Hua made dumplings, stewed a fish, and made a cold dish for dinner.

It's rare for Zhou Chengzhi to eat at home in the evening, but he insisted on having a couple of drinks with Zhou Xiye: "Come to think of it, my son and I have never sat down to drink together before."

Zhou Xiye wasn't very interested in alcohol: "You should drink less too. Just rest at home and don't always overindulge in alcohol."

Zhou Chengzhi glared at him: "Do I need you to teach me? Hurry up and drink it."

Zhou Xiye had no choice but to drink with Zhou Chengzhi.

Jiang Zhizhi rarely saw this harmonious scene between father and son, since Zhou Chengzhi usually loved to lecture whenever he opened his mouth, and no one wanted to listen.

Whether Zhou Chengzhi was happy or the alcohol level was too high, after a few drinks, his eyes were bloodshot and his speech was slurred: "Everything I've done is for your own good, isn't it?"

"You've been playing jerk with me! You've ignored me for so many years."

"Damn it, you're my only son..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Hua slapped his hand with a chopstick: "What nonsense are you spouting? You've only had a couple of drinks and you're already talking nonsense. If you can't drink, go back to your room and go to sleep!"
