Today, it would be more accurate to say that she was choosing toys for both of them rather than for Jingchu. After buying the toys, half of them were played with by Jingchu alone, and the other half were played with by the two of them together.
After choosing the toys, Yu Sui, who was putting things in the car, came up and the group bumped into each other at the door. After packing up the toys and handing them to Yu Sui, Li Xi couldn't wait to take Aunt Lin and Jing Chu to the play area.
Then, under Aunt Lin's loving gaze, he played with one facility after another, with a smile on his face even brighter than that of little Jingchu.
When they finally left the mall, Li Xi was too tired to walk. On the short walk to the garage, Li Xi hung on Aunt Lin's arm the entire time, like a pendant.
On the way back, Li Xi secretly made up her mind to lie down and die as soon as she got back. No matter who came, she would not be able to make any more effort. However, plans could not keep up with changes.
Back at the Imperial Garden, Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu, along with Young Brother Yu Sui and a number of servants, helped to pack up the spoils. Meanwhile, Li Xi and Jing Chu each occupied a sofa, one lying disregarding her image, the other slumped against it, neither wanting to move.
Just as the two were enjoying a rare moment of quiet time, Li Xi's phone rang. Li Xi took out her phone and saw it was Assistant Jiang! What big deal? Why did he call?
Full of doubts, Li Xi answered the phone.
"Hello, Assistant Jiang."
"Good afternoon, Miss Li. Is now convenient?"
"That's convenient. What's going on? Why are you calling? Can't you just send a message?"
"That's right. I think this matter is quite important. Telling you about it over the phone will make it more memorable for you." There was an inexplicable smile in Assistant Jiang's voice, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.
Li Xi heard some ill intentions in the tone and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing serious. The school just called me and said the final exams are coming up soon. Miss Li is no longer in danger and can come and go freely. So please remember to attend the final exam on time."
“…” I have a hundred swear words but I don’t know whether I should use them or not.
"time?"
"Starting next week, there will be an exam every two days. I've sent you the exact schedule via WeChat, so please remember to check it."
“…”Oh my god!
"I see."
"By the way, today is Tuesday, and there are still three days left this week. Miss Li had better go to the school." Assistant Jiang couldn't hide the smile in his voice, and his mentality of watching the show was also obvious.
If you ask me, Assistant Jiang has any bad intentions towards Li Xi, that's for sure. We're just friends, and seeing you looking unhappy makes me happy.
"...I understand. I will go to school tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll call the teacher back later and cancel your leave."
"...I know." Li Xi gritted her teeth. She'd just said it casually. Whether or not she went, and when, depended on her mood. But if Assistant Jiang called the teacher to cancel her leave, she'd have to rush to her first class, waking up bright and early. The thought of it was terrifying.
Assistant Jiang, I will remember you.
Assistant Jiang seemed not to notice Li Xi's dissatisfaction, and still had a smile on his face as he told Li Xi the things the teacher had told him to do, such as where the class was at, which courses required papers for the final exam, and so that Li Xi could start preparing.
Li Xi's head spun. Staying home all this time, she hadn't thought about school at all. Her teachers hadn't called, and none of her classmates' calls came through (she'd set her phone to block calls from strangers, and she hadn't saved any of her classmates' numbers). She responded to messages in the class group or from her classmates based on her mood (most of the time, she didn't feel like reading or replying). She truly had no idea about her homework or thesis.
After hearing this news, I don't know whether I should be glad that the police caught the bad guy and gave her freedom before the final exam, or I should be sad that the police were not more efficient. If he had played for another week, Li Xi would have an excuse to skip the final exam this semester and make up for it next semester (this idea is incorrect and not advisable, good kids don't learn it).
At this point in time, not only can she not avoid the final exam, but she also has to use the little time left to cram. She doesn't know if she can pass the exam. It will be no fun if she fails.
Wow, why haven't I paid even a little bit of attention to studying in the past month? If I had thought about studying, I wouldn't have neglected my studies for so long, and I could have easily coped with the final exam. Now what should I do? ┭┮﹏┭┮
Li Xi hung up Assistant Jiang's phone call with tears in her eyes. Meeting Jing Chu's curious gaze, Li Xi made a bitter face and said, "Little Jing Chu, I have an exam next week. Starting tomorrow, no, probably starting today, I have to study hard for the final exam. Because I, your sister, have neglected my studies for more than a month, the study load will be very heavy. So before the final exam is over, I probably won't have time to play with you."
Little Jingchu had never suffered the beating of an exam, so he didn't understand Li Xi's troubles at all. However, seeing Li Xi's tearful expression, he frowned and nodded like a little adult, "Sister is busy, don't worry about me, Aunt Lin and the others can take good care of me."
"Xiao Jingchu, you are so sensible. After your final exams are over, I will definitely play with you, going out to play, playing at home, wherever you want to go and however you want to play." Li Xi said with great ambition, like a big sister.
