Chapter 88 But You Are Related

In the Internet cafe, Li Yang finally gave a bite to the sponsors in the group. He didn't say anything and no one inside dared to act.

He didn't let Xue Ning follow him, after all, he also wanted to have a good time.

After getting rid of the previous shackles and using my new identity seriously, I feel extremely comfortable.

After spending an hour to deal with those financial sponsors, he called Wu Tianqi to go to the basketball court to play basketball together.

While playing basketball, Wu Tianqi asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, you are about to enter the two holy places, and you can still come back to see me, a lower-level immortal sect disciple. I am so touched."

"In that case, come over this afternoon and serve me tea and water. I, the true disciple of the Holy Land, want to preach here."

"What do you preach?"

“Of course, it’s the way to learn.”

"Depend on!"

…

Li Yang had lunch in the cafeteria at noon and received several calls from his parents.

My parents had already gone back. According to Li Yang's previous request, they drove around their hometown town with a banner.

No. 1 Middle School held a commendation meeting for him and Jiang Banxia. First, the school leaders praised them, and then the two of them spoke for a while to encourage the students in the first and second grades.

When the meeting was over, Jiang Banxia walked with Li Yang.

Today, she didn't ask Li Yang which school he applied to, but asked: "Have you really been working hard in secret like you said at the meeting?"

"That's for others to hear. I can't just say that I'm naturally gifted and I don't study much, but I can sprint back in a month for the college entrance exam, right? Wouldn't that be misleading?"

Jiang Banxia was stunned. She had read a lot of reports about Li Yang in the past few days. They all talked about hard work and attitude, but never mentioned talent.

In fact, Li Yang is a man of extraordinary talent!

But Jiang Banxia still had many questions in her mind. Now that the college entrance examination was over and they had met for the first time, she continued to ask, "What made you determined to study? Before the fourth mock exam, I could feel that you didn't put any effort into studying. You spent most of your time sleeping and daydreaming in the classroom, and you skipped classes when the night self-study classes were not strictly checked."

"???, slander! You are absolutely slandering!"

"hh..."

Li Yang was puzzled: "Why are you paying so much attention to me? We have nothing to do with each other, right?"

Jiang Banxia laughed.

The two walked to the table tennis court. There were very few people there at this time. After all, the students who were forced to finish the meeting had already rushed to the cafeteria.

90% of the students have no interest in this crappy conference. There are only two reasons that drive them to sit here for two and a half hours.

First, the teacher calls the roll.

Second, it’s better than attending class.

The table tennis court was on the other side of the stadium. Li Yang found a table tennis table and sat on it. He said, "After the fourth mock test, I suddenly felt like doing some exercises. I came across a question about writing a classical Chinese article, but I found that my memory was very vague. I searched online and was attracted by the article. It was a classical Chinese article that junior high school students were required to recite in its entirety. I found that I couldn't remember what I was supposed to remember."

Jiang Banxia also sat aside and asked, "What next?"

"Then I was scared. How could I be so miserable? I was a gifted child in junior high school. I was admitted to the first middle school in my town with the highest grades."

"You suddenly came to your senses?"

"Not really. The reason why I woke up has nothing to do with what I just said."

Jiang Banxia: “???”

"I simply think that playing basketball with Wu Tianqi is too boring. Just think about it, playing with a horse-faced guy all day long, people may not say anything, but they will definitely despise me for being blind. But playing with you is different. When I walk with you, everyone will say that I am a rich man, even if I am so poor that I can't even take out a thousand dollars."

Jiang Banxia: "Why does walking with me make you look rich?"

"Because she's pretty. Most people have the greatest malice towards things they can't get. There are so many boys in the school who like you, why am I the only one who can play with you? After all, in their eyes, they think they are the most handsome guy in the world, and only the money in their pockets can tell how good they are. So they must think, isn't Li Yang just a few bucks? What's so great about that!"

“Puff…”

Jiang Banxia couldn't help but laughed in a very unpresentable way, and then asked: "Then do you know why I am willing to study with you?"

"Why?"

"Because most people have the greatest malice towards things they cannot get. You are so handsome, and there are so many girls in school who like you. In the eyes of girls, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. Only the results on the test papers can make them face the reality, so they will think, isn't Jiang Banxia just relying on her good academic performance? What's so great about that..."

"Hahaha……"

The two waited for a while, and only when more students came did they leave.

We may return to this campus in the future, but the chances of both of us returning at the same time are very small unless we make a deliberate agreement.

But that wouldn't feel like much.

Since you can make an appointment deliberately, why not just make an appointment at the hotel?

When he arrived at the school gate, Li Yang saw the familiar car.

"The person who is picking you up is here."

"Yes. I'm going to register for the exam the day after tomorrow. Have you decided where to go?"

"Not yet, waiting for my parents' opinion."

What do Li Likun and Wang Cuiping have to say? Li Yang can go to whichever one he wants. Anyway, they are both called the two holy places, so it doesn't matter which one it is.

But he didn't want to interfere with Jiang Banxia's decision. Judging from the current situation, she probably had a goal, but her sensitive personality prevented her from making a real decision.

In fact, she is also capable of getting 700 points, but her personality is too sensitive.

Sensitivity can sometimes have side effects.

"Then remember to tell me when the time comes."

"good."

"See you in two days then."

Jiang Banxia waved her hand and walked towards the car.

When Jiang Banxia opened the car door and prepared to get in, Li Yang suddenly shouted, "Master Jiang, do you know the name of that classical Chinese article that I can't remember?"

"Um?"

"Preface to Ma Sheng of Dongyang."

After saying that, Li Yang turned around and left.

Dou Ying, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also heard it because Jiang Banxia opened the car door.

When Jiang Banxia closed the car door and was a little distracted, she said, "Xia Xia, Li Yang is asking you to make your own choice."

"Um."

In Jiang Banxia's opinion, the first half of this article was probably the reason why Li Yang suddenly came to his senses.

Li Yang uses articles that make him realize that he should cherish his talents and not be attracted by irrelevant things.

After returning home, Jiang Banxia went back to her bedroom first, while Dou Ying was busy cooking.

About half an hour later, Dou Ying had just finished cooking when Jiang Yaoting came back.

Today he was responsible for carrying a banner to Li Yang's hometown, where he was surrounded.

Dou Ying asked gently, "Did you meet Li Yang's parents today?"

"I met them. They were all very simple people. They tried to stuff red envelopes into my pockets before I left, but I didn't feel comfortable accepting them."

Dou Ying: "I find Li Yang more and more interesting. To be honest, if I had known Li Yang earlier, I really wouldn't be so defensive against him."

Jiang Yaoting was very surprised. Dou Ying was a very thoughtful person. After all, there couldn't be any good people in the financial field.

Judging from her tone, she seems to trust Li Yang very much?

Li Yang is not her son, so where does the trust come from?

Dou Ying saw Jiang Yaoting's confusion and said while serving the dishes: "I went to pick up Xia Xia today. Before leaving, Li Yang told Xia Xia an article that he should study hard."

"What article?"

"Encourage learning, from a junior high school textbook, guess what?"

Jiang Yaoting smiled and began to analyze: "Since you said it was an article and it was written in junior high school, it's not hard to guess. It's either an article to encourage learning or a preface to Ma Sheng of Dongyang. Considering Xia Xia's current situation, it's most likely the latter."

Dou Ying nodded. "Actually, Xia Xia already had this idea, but she is now quite dependent on Li Yang. She always wants to see where Li Yang is going so that she can make a choice."

Jiang Yaoting frowned. It wasn't that he was disgusted by this matter, but he really wanted to figure out how Li Yang did it.

All in all, he only communicated with his daughter for a month and a half, but he gained her trust more than she did as her father of 18 years.

Where the hell can I find justice in this?

On the night when the college entrance examination results were announced, he had a long-lost flash of inspiration and said a few shameless words. Until now, he didn't know whether they worked or not.

Now when he thinks back to what he said that night, he still feels so embarrassed that he can dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

"Xia Xia is still studying? She should relax after the college entrance exam. Why don't you take her out shopping? Or traveling is fine too."

Dou Ying said helplessly: "I mentioned it to her, but she doesn't seem to be interested now. I'll ask her again after the application is completed. As long as she agrees, I will take leave immediately."

"It just so happens that I will have some vacation soon. I'll take Dongdong with me and go to Beijing to have some fun, and let Xia Xia get familiar with the university in advance."

"Go and call Xia Xia to eat, there's still no sign of Ying."

Jiang Yaoting immediately came to the door of Jiang Banxia's bedroom and shouted, "Xia Xia, it's time to eat."

At this time, Jiang Banxia closed the book. It was a junior high school textbook. After so many years, it had become a little yellow.

After all, junior high school textbooks are just gathering dust if they are placed in a corner. If they are not exposed to the sun, they will get damp. If they are exposed to the sun, they will fade and become brittle if they are not moved for a long time.

Just like life, there is no point in preserving things that are not important to you.

She thought about her life and wondered if she should really give up...

Don’t think about it anymore... Anyway, she will have the courage to face it soon. She doesn’t believe that she has to make a choice.

She had just read the text again, and she was sure that Li Yang meant for her to pay the greatest attention to her studies.

"Everything else is irrelevant?"

“But you are related…”
