Ji Quanzhou was a top student in his youth, but he was also incredibly excited upon hearing that his son might achieve the same score. He dragged Zhen Lei along and drank four bottles of red wine and half a bottle of brandy.
No one doubted Ji Yuzhi's estimation, even though he had never gotten the answer right.
By the end, the two men, whose combined age was nearly one hundred, had completely lost consciousness.
If it weren't for the few men in the room who were still somewhat conscious, the women present would have been in serious trouble.
Zhen Tian delivered the package to Ji Yuzhi's bedroom.
After finishing his college entrance exam today, his older brother and uncles also got him some drinks. Since Zhen Tian had never seen Ji Yuzhi drink before, she didn't know his alcohol tolerance. So she had to learn from her mothers and take care of Ji Yuzhi the same way they took care of her fathers.
Watching Zhen Tian bustling around him, Ji Yuzhi didn't explain. He lay on the bed, using his arm to block out half of the light from his eyes.
Zhen Tian had just searched on Baidu, and it said that honey water could help with hangovers. She searched the Ji family's kitchen for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, she ran back to her own house and searched everywhere.
When she came in carrying the warm honey water she had prepared, she saw Ji Yuzhi looking unusually lazy.
She felt her heart pounding like a deer.
Ignoring this feeling, Zhen Tian approached with a water glass: "Zhizhi, drink this honey water and your head won't hurt tomorrow."
Her coaxing tone, like that of someone comforting a child, made Ji Yuzhi laugh.
"Will you feed me?" Ji Yuzhi teased her with a smile.
Zhen Tian, unaware of the situation, was still struggling to figure out how to feed him: "Do we have a straw at home? How can I feed you?"
Ji Yuzhi took back the words "feed with your mouth" that were on the tip of his tongue, afraid that the child would be so embarrassed that he would never talk to him again.
Zhen Tian was still thinking when she remembered that she had a crystal glass with a built-in straw.
"I have it, I'll go get it."
"Never mind." Ji Yuzhi grabbed Zhen Tian, who was about to run away, and said, "Give it to me."
He took the cup and downed it in one gulp.
"Drink slowly." Zhen Tian took a tissue and wiped the water droplets that had fallen on his chin.
"I'm fine, go back to sleep." Ji Yuzhi placed the cup on the bedside table.
"Really?"
Zhen Tian stared at him for a long time, trying to tell from his face whether he was putting on a brave face.
"Fake!"
"Huh?" Zhen Tian frowned.
"Come here." Ji Yuzhi sat up and beckoned to Zhen Tian.
When Zhen Tian got closer, he grabbed her hand and pulled her body so hard that the little girl's face appeared in front of him.
He slowly approached her and placed a kiss on Zhen Tian's forehead.
The warm heat felt like boiling water to Zhen Tian, scalding her face until it turned bright red.
Goodnight, little one.
After saying that, he let go of Zhen Tian's hand.
I witnessed Zhen Tian frantically stumbling and bumping her way out of her room.
He smiled softly in the darkness.
He'd probably had a few drinks; he'd become quite bold. He was still being a bit reckless; hopefully, he hadn't scared her.
Zhen Tian returned home, avoiding her mother's suspicious gaze.
She quickly fled to her room, leaned against the door, and covered her face with her hands.
The color peeking out from between the palms became increasingly red.
Thinking of the look in Ji Yuzhi's eyes as he watched her run away, he felt a deep affection and doting tenderness.
Her face turned even redder.
"Huff... huff..." She fanned her cheeks with her palms, muttering to herself, "It's okay, Zhen Tian, it was just a kiss on your forehead."
"You kiss his cheek when you're happy, don't you?"
"You grew up together, a kiss is nothing."
"He didn't think much of it when you kissed him before!"
"It definitely doesn't mean anything special, don't overthink it."
"Yes, that's right. Zhizhi was so happy after finishing his exams, and he even drank some alcohol."
"He's definitely not sober, he's a drunk. What can a drunk be thinking? Don't overthink it. Ahhhhh!"
"Zhizhi is such a bastard."
Zhen Tian said she got angry with herself at the end.
She forgot to blush and puffed out as she walked into the bathroom.
One last sentence remained outside.
"Drinking with family is such a bad habit, you bastard."
...
For Ji Yuzhi, the college entrance examination was over and he was finally free.
But not for Zhen Tian.
This day would mark the beginning of her second year of high school. Before that, she would continue her summer tutoring.
Ye Qingyan can be described as a loyal fan of this couple, or perhaps a die-hard fan would be a more accurate description.
She followed Zhen Tian up to the teaching building: "Why didn't Ji Yuzhi come to see you off today?"
Mentioning Ji Yuzhi's name reminded Zhen Tian of last night, and she pouted, "He didn't get out of bed this morning."
"Huh? Ji Yuzhi's face looks like that of a man with a biological clock who's obsessive-compulsive and can't be a second off when he wakes up. He actually sleeps in?" Ye Qingyan thought about Ji Yuzhi lying in bed, and found it kind of cute: "His personality doesn't match his face!"
Zhen Tian snorted.
In fact, Ji Yuzhi did get up later than usual. The alcohol probably had some effect; usually, he would come to the house to wait for her, but today Zhen Tian had already gotten ready, eaten breakfast, and left before he hurriedly opened the door to the Zhen family's house.
Looking at Ji Yuzhi's tired face after a hangover, Zhen Tian still felt sorry for him.
"Go back to sleep for a while. I'll go by myself today." Zhen Tian waved to him and walked away.
On her way to school, she felt a pang of regret; she should have taught him a lesson.
"Ugh... everyone else is already on holiday, but we still have to go to class." Ye Qingyan was someone who got a headache just thinking about studying.
"Ah... I'm so envious." Yang Feiguang, following along, also lay on the table and howled.
"How many points do you think Brother Ji will get?" Yang Feiguang suddenly jumped up from the table, raising his eyebrows mysteriously at everyone.
"First in the grade, what do you say?" Yuan Yuan glanced at him.
"Judging from his past performance, Ji Ge should have no problem getting over 700 points." Shao Junli had adjusted his mindset for a long time and was now able to face the matter between Ji Yuzhi and Zhen Tian.
"A score above 700 would make you the top scorer in the city, right?"
Everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
Finally, everyone looked at Zhen Tian.
Zhen Tian shrugged and calmly said, "Zhi Zhi said that he should score above 740 points if nothing unexpected happens."
Everyone fell silent.
The only response she received was the sound of Yang Feiguang slamming down on his chair.
"I'm afraid of messing with you, so I'm running away..." Ye Qingyan was no longer curious at all.
This was the first time Yuan Yuan had shown such emotion openly. She wanted to use every word to describe her feelings at that moment, but in the end, she could only utter two words: "Boss!"
Shao Junli silently corrected his final exam paper, which scored 610 points.
