Zhen Tian was so excited that she clung to Ji Yuzhi like a koala.
Hearing the shouts, everyone in the corridor stopped and stayed to watch the commotion.
"Isn't this the senior who comes to pick up Zhen Tian every day?"
"Yeah, didn't you hear what she said? She said he was the top scorer. Could he be this year's top science scorer?"
"How could it be such a coincidence? We must have misheard."
"Exactly, I don't believe it either. How can a top student look like this? Shouldn't they all be bespectacled?"
"Why not? Good-looking people can be top students too."
There were many onlookers, but no one dared to approach.
This situation was broken when Yang Feiguang and Shao Junli came out.
As soon as Yang Feiguang came out of the classroom, he knelt down on one knee the moment he saw Ji Yuzhi: "Great God, Great Boss, please let me touch your hand. I don't need to be the top scorer, I just need to go to a second-tier university."
The loud crash startled not only Shao Junli, who came out with him, but also Zhen Tian.
She almost slipped off Ji Yuzhi's lap; if he hadn't caught her, she would have definitely fallen.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qingyan kicked Yang Feiguang from behind: "So many people are watching, you have no shame, but Senior Ji and Tian Tian still have some shame."
Yang Feiguang rubbed his buttocks, stood up from the ground with a wronged expression, and said, "Brother Ji, can I touch it?"
His bright eyes were full of pleading.
"no."
"My heart aches so much, waiting for you to soothe it..." He suddenly burst into song.
"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts, I'll take care of you." Ye Qingyan chased after him and kicked his butt.
"I was wrong, no, I was wrong, Sister Ye, Sister Ye."
"Sister Ye? You're disgusting..."
Yang Feiguang got another beating.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, my ancestors!"
Ye Qingyan clapped her hands up and down, then curled her lips in disgust.
"Congratulations, senior." Shao Junli felt a bit miserable. He had just congratulated Zhen Tian on their engagement, and now he had to congratulate his rival on becoming the top scorer in the national exam.
What's scary is that he's somewhat willing to do it.
"Thank you." Ji Yuzhi smiled, probably because he was in a good mood after learning about the results, and his aura was not as cold as it used to be.
"We were so excited when we saw the results today." Yuan Yuan touched her nose sheepishly. "Tian Tian couldn't concentrate on her lessons all afternoon. You should take her home quickly."
"Absolutely, she's laughing like crazy. She's always giggling in her seat, it even scares the teachers."
Her two best friends relentlessly exposed her, and Zhen Tian turned around and glared at them with a cute but fierce look: "Stop talking."
In the past, Ji Yuzhi would have already left with Zhen Tian.
Today, he listened patiently as the two girls took turns exposing Zhen Tian's flaws, his face showing interest.
"Go home quickly." Zhen Tian was stripped naked, and she sullenly leaned on Ji Yuzhi's shoulder, feeling too ashamed to face him.
"Yes, yes, let's go back quickly." Ye Qingyan pulled everyone and waved to the two of them.
"What a perfect man," Ye Qingyan sighed. "Compared to him, those young boys just don't stand up to it."
“That’s not right. Someone like Brother Ji is one in a million. No, maybe one in a billion. That’s unattainable…” Yang Feiguang shook his head with a wicked smile: “You should also look at us next door. We’re tall and strong, and we also have a sense of humor.”
He spread his arms, making a gesture of asking for a hug: "Want to consider coming into my arms? They're warm and strong~"
"You're strong? Let me see how strong you are." Ye Qingyan, adhering to the principle of "if you can use your hands, don't talk," kicked him directly.
Yuan Yuan gave Yang Feiguang a meaningful look, as if he saw through him but didn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Feeling discouraged?" Yuan Yuan's gaze fell on Shao Junli. Without waiting for his reply, she continued, "Didn't you hear what Brother Yang said? Senior Ji is one in a million. You don't need to compare yourself to him."
Shao Junli nodded, his gaze still fixed on the direction where Zhen Tian and Ji Yuzhi had disappeared: "I understand. There might be a bit of envy and jealousy in my heart."
"I think instead of all that, you'd be better off discussing the last math problem from today's math class with me. I didn't quite understand that one."
"The last problem is trigonometry. Let's substitute the formulas first..."
Zhen Tian had already climbed off Ji Yuzhi. She shook his hand and skipped away as she walked out. She had completely forgotten her earlier embarrassment.
Ji Yuzhi walked behind her, her hand being pulled forward by him.
You could tell how happy he was from behind.
"So happy?" He smiled the whole way.
"Yes, I'm happy!"
Zhen Tian turned around, her bright smile as warm as the sunshine hitting him.
"I think I had great taste when I was a child."
Ji Yuzhi's thoughts were drawn back to that summer, a summer he thought would be full of troubles, but now, when he looks back, it feels so fulfilling.
“Back then, I thought you were going to commit suicide,” Zhen Tian recalled with a smile. “I was so worried. I was afraid you would do something drastic, so I kept an eye on you for years.”
"Yeah, like a little fool." He laughed.
“Just…” Zhen Tian suddenly stopped.
"Um?"
"You've had such a happy day..."
"how?"
"Should we buy some candy to celebrate?" Zhen Tian asked with a grin, pointing to a candy store not far away.
Ji Yuzhi was amused by her sudden change of pace. He quickened his pace, caught up with her, and then led her through the door of the candy store.
Zhen Tian clung to the brown paper bag the whole way, unwilling to let go. He rarely had the time to buy her candy, especially since he had bought her everything in the store this time. She was even more excited than before.
"I want another one, the bubble tea flavor." She gritted her teeth, making a crunching sound as they clattered together.
Ji Yuzhi rummaged through a bag and found the kind she wanted, tore it open, and fed it to her.
Before they knew it, the two had returned to the mountain stream.
The name of the residential complex where the two lived was "Mountains and Streams". Since H City is located by the sea, most of the buildings here have names related to water, which also have a touch of poetic charm.
The moment Ji Yuzhi entered the password to open the Zhen family's gate, the crackling sound of celebratory cannons startled them both.
"Wow..."
"Wow..."
Lu Yinuo, Lu Yiran, Lu Xian, and Zhen Yan, the four older brothers and uncles, stood at the entrance holding handheld ceremonial cannons, which clicked loudly. The four parents from the Zhen and Ji families stood behind them, some holding plastic clappers, others holding small megaphones and grinning. The megaphones were probably leftovers from Zhen Tian's middle school entrance exam.
"Mom and Dad... Aunt Lu and Uncle Lu."
Ji Yuzhi was stunned for a moment before he recovered. Zhen Tian, on the other hand, excitedly snatched a ceremonial cannon from Lu Yinuo and set it off next to Ji Yuzhi, just as her uncle had taught her.
