Looking at the person lying on the sofa and crying, An Ci almost couldn't help laughing.
She walked forward and patted his back with her fair little hand, "Cousin, it's not that serious. It's just that you failed an exam. We can just take it again."
Eric burst into tears, his voice trembling. "What do you mean 'not even close'? This is the first time in my life that I've studied so hard, and yet I still have to stay here..."
The freedom that was at my fingertips flew away.
Shouldn't he cry?
An Ci pinched himself, trying hard to hold back his laughter, "Isn't it better to stay here?"
"Bullshit." Eric raised his head, his eyes swollen like walnuts. "Since I came here, I've been waking up earlier than the chickens and sleeping later than the dogs. What's my point? I haven't played games for more than two months."
An Ci burst out laughing, "Pfft."
She didn't really want to laugh, he was just too funny.
"You're still laughing." Eric glared at her, his teeth itching with anger. "I'm in such a miserable state, and you're still laughing."
An Ci covered his mouth and tried to stop laughing. "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, you've gained something from studying so hard during this period."
"What did you get?" Eric snorted. "A pair of black circles under your eyes?"
An Ci was amused by him again. She cleared her throat and said, "Maybe if you continue studying, you might become a top student."
"Who cares?" Eric raised his hand to wipe away his tears. He cried so hard that his voice became hoarse. "I am proud of being a poor student. I am happy to be a poor student."
He suddenly started shouting slogans, and the style of the painting became more and more funny.
An Ci laughed so hard that he couldn't stop talking. He followed his words and said, "You can go back to being a poor student if you want to. Just pass the exam first."
When Eric heard the word "exam", he wanted to cry again.
And he did just that, lying back on the sofa and continuing to sob silently.
An Ci curled her lips, didn't disturb him and continued to be emo, and left with Fugui.
"Where are you going?" Eric asked.
An Ci said without turning his head, "The library."
Although she passed the exam this time, her scores in every subject were just above the passing line. In order to avoid her grandfather talking to her, she had to behave well these days, concentrate on studying hard in the library, and improve every day.
At least she had to make her grandfather think that she was studying hard, otherwise her cell phone would be in danger again.
…
Time flies, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Autumn deepened, and after one night, the entrance of the library was covered with fallen leaves again.
Eric arrived at the manor exhausted. After coming out of An Zhenxiong's study, he went straight to the library. His footsteps made a rustling sound on the fallen leaves.
He pushed open the door and walked in as if he knew the place well.
He walked around the rows of rosewood bookshelves and came to the innermost part, when a fierce gaze suddenly shot over at him.
Eric froze. Eight years was neither long nor short. Fugui had grown up a lot, his eyes were more aggressive, and his huge and agile body made people feel intimidated.
Even though he knew that Fugui would not hurt him, Eric still felt inexplicably scared, as if he would be eaten as its prey in the next second.
Recognizing that it was an acquaintance, Fugui lazily withdrew his gaze and lay back on the ground.
Eric breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his gaze to the beanbag next to him.
Half of the thin white blanket slid to the ground, and the other half covered the curled-up body of the "boy", whose entire face was almost buried in his arms. From this angle, he could only see the "boy's" messy hair.
Eric walked forward and pulled up the thin blanket. "Don't sleep anymore. Wake up."
The boy frowned and said with his eyes closed, "Give me back the blanket."
The voice was still that soft tone, with a hoarseness from just waking up, and had no deterrent effect at all.
"No." Eric picked up the thin blanket with one hand and opened the curtains with the other.
"Hurry up and get up. I have something to tell you."
With a "swish", the curtains were drawn open, and large swathes of sunlight poured in through the window glass.
An Ci subconsciously blocked it with his hand.
After a moment, she supported herself on the sofa with one hand and slowly sat up. Her overly long hair covered her delicate eyebrows and eyes. "What's the matter?"
Eric leaned against the window, his eyes sparkling. "I've thought about the racing club. I agree to invest."
"That's it?" An Ci scratched his head. His originally messy hair could now be used to build a nest for chicks.
Eric was dissatisfied with her careless attitude. "What do you mean by that?"
She wasn't surprised at all that he agreed after just one night.
An Ci opened his eyes and glanced at him lazily, "What else?"
He will agree sooner or later anyway, it's just a matter of time.
Eric choked and said awkwardly, "...Aren't you worried that I won't agree?"
"What's there to worry about?" An Ci chuckled. "At worst, I can find someone else."
Eric snorted, "Looking for Shen Mo?"
An Ci exclaimed, "Why do you care about me?"
Eric was so angry that he felt upset. This guy had always looked like a troublemaker since he was a child, making people love and hate him.
He threw the thin blanket on her and said, "Tell me, how do we cooperate?"
Last night she suddenly called him and asked if he was interested in opening a racing club together. But she only asked this one question and then there was no follow-up. She didn't answer the phone or reply to the message, so he had to fly over overnight.
An Ci grabbed a thin blanket and wrapped herself in it. The weather was getting colder, so she only wore a black long-sleeved shirt, which made her look even thinner.
She turned to get the computer, and Eric came over. She opened a folder, which contained not only the plan for the racing club, but also the drafted contract.
