That evening, Ruan Bei treated his classmates and friends to dinner outside, including his college classmates and close friends from high school.
Dong Yangyang also graduated this year. Her college entrance examination scores were better than in her previous life, but she didn't deviate from the general direction. In her previous life, she studied nursing, and in this life, she directly applied to medical school.
Ruan Bei was quite happy to hear the news. Having been reborn, seeing the people around him getting better and better was something to be happy about.
Speaking of the college entrance examination, Qin Shen and Lu Sibai also graduated from high school this year.
But just like Ruan Bei in his previous life, whose entire senior year of high school was filled with misery and unrest, this year of theirs was also incredibly colorful and fulfilling. They made it onto the trending topics and crawled into trash cans, but they never actually studied.
If they were geniuses like Wang Bufan, that would be one thing, but the two of them are at most just average people, especially Lu Sibai, who seems to have used all his energy to become cunning.
It's no wonder Ruan Bei is so resentful. If he hadn't experienced those accidents in his previous life and had taken the college entrance exam peacefully, he might not have achieved the same results as in this life, but getting into a top university wouldn't have been a problem.
Lu Sibai barely made it into the first-tier university entrance exam. He received an elite education from a young age, and in terms of educational resources, he was far superior to Ruan Bei.
This time, he probably didn't even spend a month at school during his entire senior year of high school, and he hasn't looked at his books in who knows how long.
Especially before the college entrance examination, he swallowed sleeping pills and stayed at Qin Shen's bedside in the hospital for a month. He was so focused on winning back his ex-boyfriend who had cheated on him that he almost forgot about the college entrance examination.
When the school notified him and Qin Shen to return to school to pick up their exam admission tickets, Lu Sibai and Qin Shen were both stunned.
Because he wanted Qin Shen to frequently curry favor with Old Master Qin, Qin Zhengping never considered sending him abroad to study. It would be too far away, and it would be inconvenient for him to come back. If something happened, it would be terrible if he couldn't get back in time.
As for private jets, he could grit his teeth and buy one, but the real difficulty has never been a lack of money, but rather the difficulty in applying for flight routes within China.
His face wasn't enough.
Since Qin Shen doesn't go abroad, and neither does Lu Sibai, they both registered for the college entrance examination when the school started registration last December.
The registration was completed, and now it was time for the exam. Qin Shen was still limping at that time, but his hands were fine and it didn't affect his writing.
Lu Sibai was perfectly capable of doing everything, and some time had passed since the incident of swallowing the pills, but when he thought back, he realized that he had forgotten most of his textbook knowledge...
It's like a freshman who played around all year looking back on his high school knowledge and realizing he might not even be as good as he was, since he didn't participate in any of the senior year review sessions.
Lu Sibai chickened out. He didn't want to take the exam. Ruan Bei was the top scorer last year. Even if he couldn't compare to him, he couldn't do too badly.
But not going is not an option. High school seniors don't take the college entrance exam or go abroad. Are they just going to go straight into the "university of life"?
The thought that he could only have a high school diploma made Lu Sibai feel suffocated.
So, despite their reluctance, he and Qin Shen still went to take the college entrance examination.
As for her grades, Bai Miaomiao never missed a joke about Lu Sibai, and she would share it with her friends after finding out about it.
Qin Shen's senior year of high school was also tough, but his grades were decent before, so he at least studied hard in his senior year and his family hired a tutor. He barely managed to get into a top-tier university.
Lu Sibai was completely doomed, failing to even reach the undergraduate admission line. He kept his grades well hidden, but Bai Miaomiao was too curious, so Bai Sen helped him check them out. Bai Miaomiao almost laughed herself silly.
Because of this, Qin Zhengping was even more dissatisfied. At this moment, he was actually glad that Lu Sibai was a boy and couldn't have children, otherwise, how stupid would his grandson be if he inherited his genes?
Although he never said it, he always felt that his mother was holding him back. He and Qin Zheng were half-siblings, and since Qin Zheng was so smart, it must be a problem with his mother's genes.
Even after Lu Sibai and Qin Shen got engaged, Lu Sibai remained quietly hidden in the Lu family home, just as he had been after the recording incident, as silent as a chicken.
He thought things couldn't get any worse, but reality proved him wrong.
He just got engaged and has already fallen out with his fiancé. Lu Minghai is annoyed by him and keeps pressuring him to coax Qin Shen back as soon as possible.
He wanted to, too, but he couldn't even see Qin Shen. For Qin Shen, losing his status as the heir of the Qin family was more unacceptable than anything else.
Lu Sibai was once again locked outside the Qin family's gate, half genuinely suffering and half feigning reconciliation, while Ruan Bei happily finished dinner with her classmates, received a bunch of blessings, and then went home slightly tipsy.
He didn't drink much, just one and a half bottles of beer. However, Ruan Bei's alcohol tolerance was average, so this amount made him a little drunk, but not completely confused.
As for why he drank, one reason was that his friends forced him to drink, and the other was that he wanted to use alcohol to embolden himself...
Seems a bit timid...
As Ruan Bei went upstairs, he silently criticized himself.
He told his parents that he might stay out late tonight and would sleep at Kunkun's house instead of going home.
It did get very late; by the time I got home, it was almost 11:30.
Ruan Bei looked at the wall clock in the living room and regretted canceling the flower order. She suddenly felt that sending flowers was inappropriate, since Kun Kun liked flowers too much, so she canceled it.
He should have bought a gift; he almost went to buy wedding rings. Then he realized that he was confessing his feelings, not proposing, so giving a ring would be inappropriate. He was so embarrassed that he almost walked out of the jewelry store with his hands and feet touching.
But now he's empty-handed and reeks of alcohol, doesn't that seem a bit too frivolous?
Yeah, why did he drink? How stupid...
Ruan Bei's mind raced, but he couldn't find a single useful piece of information; he spent all his time criticizing himself.
"Take a shower first." Qin Gu went to find clean pajamas and pushed Ruan Bei towards the bathroom.
When they reached the bathroom door, Ruan Bei clung to the doorframe, refusing to let go: "I won't wear this." Who confesses their love while wearing pajamas?
"Hmm? Why?" Qin Gu picked up the pajamas and examined them. Was there something wrong with the clothes?
"I just don't want to wear this." Ruan Bei leaned against the door frame, her eyelashes drooping, her voice lacking confidence.
"How about changing your clothes?" Qin Gu patiently went to change his clothes again. Ruan Bei quickly followed, refusing the vest and shorts Qin Gu offered, and instead picked out a clean white long-sleeved shirt.
Black pants, long pants.
Qin Gu: "..."
Okay, he silently went and lowered the air conditioner temperature by two degrees.
As the bathroom door closed and the sound of running water began, Qin Gu propped his head up and suddenly laughed.
Xiao Bei, who was so serious about confessing her feelings, was really cute.
Did he confess first, or did he confess first?
Although I really want to fulfill Xiao Bei's wish, it's probably better for him to do the confession.
After taking a shower, Ruan Bei deliberately dried her hair in the bathroom before coming out, and changed into clean clothes.
With a bit of trepidation, Ruan Bei went out. He mentally prepared himself in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Gu handed him a small plate of cake: "Want some cake? I noticed you didn't eat much tonight."
Ruan Bei: "...Eating a little bit is fine too."
He took the small plate and asked casually, "Is this outfit alright? It was a gift from my godmother. She said that a boy my age should have a few formal outfits to wear in public. Could you take a look and see if it suits me?"
How could it be inappropriate? When he first came out, Qin Gu almost dropped the plate.
The slightly cinched waist design perfectly accentuates Ruan Beijin's slender and graceful waistline. The pants appear plain, but they fit exceptionally well without being too tight. The fabric must be of high quality, with excellent drape, making his legs look long and straight.
Qin Gu had never seen Ruan Bei in formal attire before, and he had almost lost control of his expression just now. Now, under orders to observe, his gaze was intense, scrutinizing every detail from head to toe. He even pretended to touch her slender waist, which startled Ruan Bei so much that she almost jumped up.
"You, you go take a shower!" Ruan Bei's back and waist were numb from his touch, and her legs were almost weak. She couldn't even speak properly, let alone confess her feelings, so she had to hurry up and make him leave.
Qin Gu was still not satisfied. Thinking that Ruan Bei hadn't confessed yet, he figured she wouldn't change her clothes, so he went to take a shower without worry.
But since Ruan Bei is dressed so formally, he can't just wear pajamas, can he?
Qin Gu rummaged through the wardrobe and made a note of it for his father. Other people's godmothers knew to give their children formal attire, but his father hadn't given any thanks at all.
No, he has to call his dad tomorrow and explain. Is it his own family who's embarrassed by his poor attire? No, he's embarrassing his dad!
There was no time to waste, so Qin Gu had no choice but to grab his usual casual shirt and jeans.
Ruan Bei belatedly realized how foolish his behavior was, but since he was the one who made the mistake first, he had no right to speak.
He took a bite of cake in silence, frantically thinking about how to start the conversation.
Confessing your feelings is really too difficult; thankfully, you only need to confess once in your life.
After taking a couple of bites, Ruan Bei couldn't resist taking out his phone, wanting to cram for the last minute.
However, when I opened the screen and saw the time, it was already 11:45!
Ruan Bei: "!!!"
He's going to confess his love on his birthday today!
The sound of running water filled the bathroom. Ruan Bei was so anxious that she jumped back and forth, but she didn't dare to urge him.
Fortunately, Qin Gu took a quick shower. When Ruan Bei heard the water stop, she glanced at the time: 11:55.
Two minutes later, Qin Gu came out, and Ruan Bei rushed up to him: "I have something to say to you!"
Qin Gu glanced at the small cake on the table, only a corner of which had been cut off: "Is the cake not good?"
Why eat cake? There's no time for cake right now.
Ruan Bei pulled him into the house: "We'll eat later, I have something to tell you."
Qin Gu glanced at the small cake again. Sure enough, this idea was unreliable. He shouldn't have listened to Bai Sen. What experience could a nearly thirty-year-old bachelor offer him?
"I……"
"I……"
The two spoke at the same time. Qin Gu rubbed his temples and chuckled helplessly, "You go first."
Ruan Bei: "..."
I'm stuck again!
He glanced at the time; he was already fifty-eight. He steeled himself and shouted, "I have a birthday wish!"
Qin Gu: "...Tell me, what do you want?"
Ruan Bei suddenly blushed: "I want a...boyfriend..."
His hands, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly with nervousness, and his voice trembled slightly, but his tone was firm: "I hope my boyfriend is tall and handsome, a little cold to others, but very kind and gentle to me."
He has to grow up with me. When we were little, he held my hand, and he will continue to hold my hand until we become two old men with white hair, and we can still be as close as we were when we were little.
He should ideally have the surname Qin, and a very cute nickname that I gave him. When I call his name, he'll turn around and smile at me…
Qin Gu squeezed his eyes shut, and when he spoke again, his voice was inexplicably hoarse: "What a coincidence, I meet all the conditions you mentioned. What do you think of me?"
