Chapter 18
For the next few days, Pei Qing did not receive any call from Qiao Ye.
But her busy life left her no time to take care of these things.
The circuit courts she dealt with resolved civil disputes at the level of "even a fair judge could not settle family disputes."
Although it was somewhat different from the criminal law she had studied, it was enough for her to learn a lot.
Because at the legal level, the two are similar.
Pei Qing was following the elder sister who brought her back to University A when she was stopped by a little girl.
The little girl, holding her doll, hid behind her door and looked at her timidly.
A hint of hesitation appeared on her dirty face, as if she had something to say to her.
She walked over to her and handed the file in her hand to the colleague who came with her.
Then he looked at the little girl and asked, "Do you have anything you want to say to me?"
The little girl opened her mouth, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and asked cautiously, "Sister, is this yours?"
Pei Qing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the paper in the girl's hand.
It is not accurate to call it paper, because this thing is more like a flyer.
She was very familiar with this flyer, as it was the flyer of University A at that time.
To be precise, this was not an official leaflet, but a leaflet spontaneously organized by students at the time.
The above lists the highest known scores for admission to each department of University A.
The other colleges only wrote three people, but the College of Mathematics was the most special. There were only five girls in the college, and they just wrote all the girls' names.
Among them was Qiao Ye.
This photo should have been taken secretly. It shows Qiao Ye standing under the banyan tree, yawning, and looking extremely lazy.
She took the flyer from the girl and said, "Yes. This is mine. Thank you, little one."
After saying that, she prepared to get up and leave.
But before he took a few steps, the little girl grabbed the corner of his clothes.
She lowered her head and saw the girl looking at her very seriously, "Then... Sister, can you tell me where this is?"
"Here?" Pei Qing pointed to the A-level scene on the flyer.
"Yes."
"This is University A. It's a university. If you want to come here, you have to study hard. Then, when you turn 18 and take the college entrance examination, you should try to get in here."
The girl looked at the flyer in her hand, as if she had made up her mind. "Then...sister, can you give me this piece of paper?"
Pei Qing looked at the flyer in her hand. In fact, she had already been admitted to University A and no longer needed this thing.
but……
After hesitating for a moment, she gave the flyer to the little girl and patted her head gently, "Study hard."
"Thank you, sister." The girl immediately became radiant as if she saw the sunshine.
In fact, the child looks very dirty. Her little face is gray, as if she hasn't washed it for ten days or half a month.
The last time Pei Qing came here was when he took her to take a bath.
But there were a lot of people there, so she could do it without restraint.
Now that everyone is leaving, she is still a little scared to stay here alone.
So Pei Qing just paused for a moment, then stuffed a candy into her hand, turned around and left.
The girl seemed to be aware of her concerns and obediently did not call her.
Back in the car, a colleague who came with me couldn't help but joked: "I didn't expect that you are so popular with children, Pei."
Pei Qing smiled and did not deny it.
She actually doesn't like children, and even hates them a little.
In her opinion, all the children in the world are the same as her cousin, just as bad and disgusting.
Pei Qing sat in his seat, the car had already started, and he looked at the scenery outside as it passed by.
Her thoughts couldn't help but go back to the little girl just now.
Jiangcheng is located on the coast and its economy is developing rapidly. Logically, such a situation should not happen.
She could tell at a glance that the girl looked very similar to her.
From the looming figure of the boy behind her, it can be seen that her situation is exactly the same as she once was.
But she didn't choose to help her, she chose to leave.
She won't risk herself to help others.
The flyer of University A in her hand was picked up at the school gate at the beginning of the school year.
The school had not officially started at that time, but she still got to know many people in the school through a flyer.
Of course, they might not necessarily know her.
Pei Qing lowered her eyes, her long and narrow eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.
It's nothing, she told herself, no one will know.
No one will know what she did, no one will know.
"Eh? Pei-san."
A male voice suddenly came from beside her, making Pei Qing shudder. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at him, "Ah? What's going on?"
"No, no. What's your relationship with Sister Ling? Why would Sister Ling let you, a freshman, come here? In the past, Sister Ling didn't accept anyone except seniors."
Sister Ling is the presiding judge of this circuit court.
The boys' eyes were full of gossip. Pei Qing opened his mouth, immediately revealed a standard smile, and said half-seriously, "I don't know. Maybe Sister Ling thinks we have a connection."
The boy obviously didn't believe this statement, but he just stopped there. Gossip is gossip, but if he really found out about something that was not to be told, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
At this time, Sister Ling, who was sitting in the front, turned her head and looked at Pei Qing, "Pei Qing, come here."
"Oh, okay."
Pei Qing stood up and walked to her side, "Sister, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down." The woman patted the seat next to her and motioned her to sit down.
Pei Qing hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to her. She felt a little uneasy, not knowing why the woman in front of her called her here at this time.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the woman seeming to be reading the material she had written.
I couldn't help but have some wild thoughts. Could it be that there was something wrong with the materials she wrote?
But this shouldn't be the case. Her materials have been checked many times.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Before she could come up with anything, she saw the woman close the materials in her hand, then looked into her eyes and said, "Qiao Ye recommended you here."
Just one sentence made her know what she wanted to say.
But she still hadn't figured out what she wanted to do.
"I originally didn't want to have a freshman. Firstly, I wouldn't know anything. Secondly, it would be too troublesome. I would have to teach them from scratch, which would be a waste of time for me."
Pei Qing pursed his lips and listened to her words.
"But Qiao is an exception. She's too smart, but also too rebellious. She's not easy to tame, so she asked me to recommend someone to come and learn from me. I asked you to come over with the intention of giving it a try."
"It turns out that you are indeed more diligent and hardworking than I thought. If you have other time later, you can come to me. If I have time, I will take you with me."
Pei Qing’s eyes widened at Sister Ling’s words.
She knew too well what this sentence meant, and she could accumulate her experience much earlier.
Then after graduation, she will have an unmatched advantage over others.
Pei Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Thank you, Sister Ling, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely seize it."
"Don't thank me. You kept this opportunity for yourself."
Although she said so, Pei Qing couldn't help but ask, "But, Sister Ling, can I ask you a presumptuous question?"
"you say."
The woman sat against the car and dozed off.
"You and classmate Qiao seem to have a good relationship?"
These words made the woman open her eyes and look at the roof of the car, as if she was lost in some distant memory.
She remained silent, causing Pei Qing's heart to beat rapidly. She regretted asking her so rashly. She should have waited until their relationship was a little better.
"If you're not comfortable saying it..."
"There's nothing inconvenient about this. It's just about the recklessness of youth." The woman waved her hand. "She saved a lost person, that's all."
Although the woman summed up everything with just one light sentence, Pei Qing sensed something unusual from it.
She wisely didn't ask any more questions, but said with understanding, "So that's how it is."
The woman looked at her and said meaningfully, "No one is smarter than her. If she hadn't had such a bad relationship with her father, the top spot in the mathematics department might not have belonged to the little girl from the Xue family."
She knew the little girl from the Xue family.
He was the only one who got full marks in that national mathematics competition.
"But that little girl is also a cold person. The fact that the two of them can play together shows that they are indeed very similar to a certain extent."
Pei Qing seemed to understand what she said and could only nod in agreement.
The car drove all the way to the gate of University A.
Pei Qing got out of the car and said, "I'll be leaving first, Sister Ling. Be careful on the road."
Sister Ling looked at her and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "If possible, you must stay away from Qiao Ye."
Pei Qing was a little confused by this sentence, "Why did Sister Ling say that?"
In her opinion, Qiao Ye has left a pretty good impression on her so far.
So she didn't quite understand why Sister Ling said that.
Although she and Sister Ling had only been in contact for a few days, Sister Ling had already become a friend in her heart.
The woman's dark eyes looked at her, as if to offer some solace. "Joe isn't as simple as you think. She's just like all the other rich kids, arrogant and mean. What you consider 'kindness' might just be a game to her."
“…” Hearing the woman’s words, she knew that she was serious and she really believed it.
But she wasn't going to ask, because it wasn't something she could ask right now, so she just nodded, "Okay. I understand. Thank you, Sister Ling, for letting me know."
"Yeah. Study hard and I hope to see you in this industry in the future."
"I will try my best."
Pei Qing went back through the side door of A University.
This time happened to be when everyone was returning from vacation, so many people were walking back in groups of two or three, pulling their suitcases.
Only Qiao Ye had nothing with him. He just carried a schoolbag and didn't carry any large or small bags. He looked a little different from them.
She was about to go to her dormitory, but was stopped by someone. It was a girl who was dressed very beautifully.
She walked up to Pei Qing, looked her up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, where did our college bully go to play?"
