Chapter 41

During his senior year of high school, Ping An got up at five in the morning and went to bed at eleven at night. He was so engrossed in his studies that he forgot everything else. His grades improved by leaps and bounds, and he even dreamed about exam knowledge points.

Finally, in the last exam of her senior year, Ping An's score directly entered the middle class of Tsinghua and Peking University. However, she did not move her desk into the class. Her friends were all around her for three years of high school, and she didn't want to leave them. Cheng Xiangheng didn't say anything against it.

Life in the third year of high school was extremely busy. Ping An didn't even have time to look up at the sky. In the blink of an eye, there were only ten days left before the college entrance examination.

Ping An was incredibly nervous. Cheng Xiangheng had chosen to take the exam on his own, rather than accepting the early admission offer. Ping An knew he wanted to be with her, but this only made Ping An even more nervous, fearing she would fail and disappoint Cheng Xiangheng.

Compared to Ping An's nervousness, Cheng Xiangheng seemed very calm.

As early as a month ago, he stopped all his work, ignored the extremely high tuition fees offered by students' parents, and concentrated on picking up and dropping off Ping An from school, cooking and washing clothes.

Ping An sometimes really envies Cheng Xiangheng, not only his abilities, but also his mentality.

That day, Ping An was memorizing words while eating as usual. Cheng Xiangheng sat opposite her with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After Ping An finished memorizing the words, he was a little surprised to see that Cheng Xiangheng seemed to be distracted. Then he thought that it was impossible for Cheng Xiangheng not to be affected by the college entrance examination. After all, it was a major event in life.

"Don't be nervous, don't be afraid. The college entrance exam is no different from regular practice. Just do your best."

Ping An stood up and hugged Cheng Xiangheng's head, saying in a mature voice: "Don't be afraid, you know, I'm here with you."

Cheng Xiangheng raised his head from her arms and smiled slightly.

Cheng Xiangheng usually used words to comfort her, but now he used them on himself. He thought she was cute and couldn't help but kiss her and told her to go study.

Ping'an went to study obediently. Cheng Xiangheng cleaned up the dishes, stood in the kitchen for a while, turned his head to look at Ping'an who was leaning over the desk. She was studying hard and cheering for their future.

There was a thick mist in Cheng Xiangheng's eyes that could not be melted. He looked at Ping An steadily, as if he wanted to carve her into his heart.

Time passed quickly. Ping'an was very unlucky these two days. He was almost hit by a flower pot or almost pushed down the stairs. Once after school, Ping'an was buying sausages at the school gate and was almost hit by an out-of-control car. It was very dangerous.

Cheng Xiangheng stood not far away with a pale face, and didn't even notice that the electric bike had fallen over. Ping An saw that his face looked not right, and was afraid that he might be upset, so he hurried over to hold Cheng Xiangheng.

Cheng Xiangheng looked at Ping An stiffly, his mouth opening and closing as if he hadn't found his voice for a long time: "Are you hurt?"

His voice was hoarse and dry.

Ping An was heartbroken: "I'm fine, how about you? How are you?"

After Cheng Xiangheng confirmed that Ping An was not injured, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face.

Ping An had never seen Cheng Xiangheng show such an expression. He had always been the most calm and determined person. Even difficulties as big as a mountain seemed to be solved by him with just a chuckle.

Now he looked like a teenager of his age, terrified and as if the sky had fallen.

Ping An subconsciously reached out to pull Cheng Xiangheng's hand and found that he was trembling all over.

Ping An took a taxi to take Cheng Xiangheng home. As soon as he helped him sit down, Cheng Xiangheng hugged Ping An and held her tightly in his arms, as if she were a treasure that had been lost and found again.

Ping An let him hold him, touching and kissing him from time to time, and Cheng Xiangheng slowly regained his senses.

Ping An gently held Cheng Xiangheng's face and said, "I'm fine. Don't be afraid. We still have to take the college entrance examination together."

Cheng Xiangheng just looked at Ping An. His heart and eyes were filled with her. The depths of his eyes were like an icy but hot cave, burning him to the point of excruciating pain.

"An An, if I do something wrong one day, will you forgive me?"

Ping An didn't expect him to ask this question. She frowned and thought for a moment: "As long as you don't leave me, I will forgive you."

Cheng Xiangheng chuckled and put his forehead against hers: "Then if I leave, you must not forget me."

Ping An pinched Cheng Xiangheng's face: "This joke is not funny at all."

Cheng Xiangheng: "This joke is indeed not funny. I don't want to leave Ping An. I will die without Ping An."
