Chapter 284 Like
The exam has begun.
Bai Lu was still a little restless, her mind filled with images of Xiao Cheng being watched by the big boss's men as he returned home.
There are also suspicions that the big boss may have realized that Xiao Cheng had stirred up trouble among the four major forces before.
They wondered if the big boss would hold Xiao Cheng accountable.
If the big boss insists on keeping Xiao Cheng here, what will Xiao Cheng do? Will he continue down that perilous, primitive, and hopeless path?
He should find another opportunity to escape, but the manor is the big boss's territory, and it's full of his people. He's outnumbered and alone. How can Xiao Cheng escape?
With worries etched in my mind, anxiety is inevitable. My pen touches the exam paper, but I can't seem to write a solution.
Bai Lu knew that her heart was unsettled and that the answer she wrote would not be correct, so she could only put down her pen.
Take a deep breath.
She needs to readjust her mindset, let go of distracting thoughts, and if she can't let go of distracting thoughts, she should replace them with other thoughts.
Use positive thoughts to break free from worrying thoughts that disrupt your normal thinking and calm your mind.
That was the last time they met. Xiao Cheng had told her that she would see his promise after the exam.
Xiao Cheng is a big shot, not a child. Big shots keep their word and have never broken their promises, nor will they ever.
She should trust the big shot; once she finishes the exam and goes outside, she'll see him waiting for her safely at the door.
Inhale and exhale, firmly plant your thoughts in your mind, concentrate, and sweep away all distractions.
I picked up the pen again and began to write furiously.
In the sweltering heat of June, waves of heat rushed in through the windows. Even though there were ceiling fans on the ceiling, the breezes were still hot, and all the candidates were drenched in sweat.
Yet no one stopped writing and fanning the flames.
Everyone is racing against time to answer questions. The college entrance examination is the only chance to change one's destiny; once missed, it's gone forever.
Whether the future holds a bright future or a lifetime of regrets, it will all be revealed in the final stroke of the pen.
The future is revealed in every stroke of the pen.
Start a new chapter in your life.
When the exam ended, all students handed in their papers and left the classroom in an orderly fashion.
Bai Lu headed straight for the school gate, but was stopped by an arrogant figure as she passed the section of road along the playground.
"What bad luck! To be in the same exam room as a slacker like you, what bad luck!"
Zhou Jiayi sneered with disdain and disgust: "With grades as bad as yours, how dare you even take the exam? You'd be better off going back to the countryside to farm, you country bumpkin."
Bai Lu committed the most rude act in both her past and present lives. Before the enemy could even make a move, she pushed the person into the roadside green belt and walked away without looking back.
She didn't have time to pay attention to Zhou Jiayi.
I don't want to listen to Zhou Jiayi's nonsense either.
This is the fastest and most effective method.
Zhou Jiayi fell into the green belt, her head covered with green branches sticking out of it, and green leaves that had been poured into her mouth without her consent. Her arrogant and disdainful face was now filled with disbelief and shock, and she was furious with embarrassment.
"Bai Lu, you just wait!"
The White Dew solar term has arrived at the school exit.
The area outside the gate was packed with people, including students leaving after their exams and their parents.
There was another figure, dressed in a dark blue shirt and black trousers, tall and imposing, standing upright in the most conspicuous position in the crowd. Despite his handsome appearance and imposing presence, no one dared to get within three meters of him. People would detour around him from afar because he was as cold as ice and exuded the murderous aura of someone who had just returned from the battlefield.
It was as if getting close would mean being strangled and leaving no trace, so everyone valued their lives and no one dared to approach.
Only Bai Lu, swift as a feather, rushed into his arms through the sea of people, her face beaming with smiles.
He really came.
She actually saw him when she came out after the exam.
Xiao Cheng was embraced tightly by Bai Lu. He was delighted but slightly taken aback. His hands, which were hanging by his sides, subconsciously rose up to hug her back.
Since she recovered from her illness, the feeling of being sometimes close and sometimes distant towards him seems to have disappeared, and she occasionally has the illusion of being close to him.
Although she didn't remember what happened that night, he had promised her he would make and sell an electric chestnut roasting machine, and the next day he brought the equipment back from the store to make it, which made her very happy.
While he was working on the electric stir-fry machine, she would read in her room. Sometimes when she came out to get a drink of water, she would stand by the corridor and watch him. When he noticed her, she no longer calmly and casually told him how handsome he was, as she used to.
Instead, it's as if, after being caught peeking, one immediately looks away, a fleeting blush appearing on their face, before casually saying that what he did was very well done.
Then I poured him a glass of water as well.
In the past, when Wang Cuihua came to see him, he would watch her perform as if it were a play. Now that Wang Cuihua is coming, he won't even let her in the door.
And now, take the initiative to hug him.
If he hadn't heard her explain how possessiveness and affection manifested that night, he wouldn't have realized that her feelings for him might have changed recently.
His unusual reaction was the same as when she first entered his heart.
He had experienced it, but only had a superficial understanding of it.
I wonder if their relationship has progressed to the next level.
I don't know if I need to say or do anything to confirm the progress of this relationship.
Or should we just let things take their natural course?
Xiao Cheng's face showed an unprecedented look of bewilderment, confusion, incomprehension, and a thousand thoughts.
The only thing I didn't feel was irritability.
Xiao Wei, who suffered from heatstroke yesterday at noon and is better today, is still a little weak. He is lying on the table, staring intently at the telephone on the high table opposite him, looking anxious and nervous.
He even stopped turning on his favorite TV and stopped watching the heroes performing unparalleled martial arts.
This was supposed to be his entertainment plan after summer vacation started, but now, all he can think about is his sister-in-law.
"Why hasn't my brother called back yet? Hasn't he found my sister-in-law yet...? Who kidnapped her? Why is there still no news of her? Is she alright...?"
The fan made Xiao Wei drowsy, but he kept his eyes wide open. He rubbed his eyes whenever he felt sleepy, rubbing them mercilessly to drive away the drowsiness. He was waiting for his older brother and sister-in-law's call.
"Big brother and sister-in-law..."
"Squeak—"
The sound of a door opening was a million times more effective than Xiao Wei rubbing his eyes, instantly waking him up from his drowsy state.
His eyes widened like saucers, then he instantly turned to stare at the doorway, and the next second he burst into a super-bright light bulb-like glare.
"Big brother and sister-in-law!"
The little guy immediately got up and rushed out.
As a result of his knee injury, he fell flat on his face.
Bai Lu quickly helped the little figure up and checked his knee, which was red and bleeding under his trousers. It was red and swollen, with broken skin, a new injury and an old one, clearly a second injury.
"When did you fall? Why wasn't it treated? Sand has seeped into the wound..."
Xiao Cheng, carrying groceries, entered the house and closed the door nonchalantly, his expression calm and composed, showing no remorse whatsoever for not helping the injured.
Xiao Wei was more sensible. He knew that his older brother was going to save his sister-in-law, and that it was his duty. He had only fallen, not broken his leg and couldn't get up.
However, it feels really good to have someone care about you after you get injured; it warms my heart.
"I tripped and fell while taking a walk to digest after lunch. It wasn't serious..."
