Which boy hasn't envied Ji Yuzhi, the foreign student across the street?
Shao Yuheng was no exception, and at this moment he felt a mixture of envy and jealousy.
He couldn't say anything, only saying, "Let's go, I'll take you back to your dorm."
"I can go back by myself." Zhen Tian shook her head: "Senior, weren't you here to pick up a package?"
No. I don't have any packages.
"Huh? Didn't you just say..." Zhen Tian was stunned.
"I was just kidding, I just wanted an excuse to be with you." Shao Yuheng's confession at this moment was shocking.
"oh."
Zhen Tian touched her nose, feeling lost.
Let's go.
Shao Yuheng took the first step, and the two walked back in much more silence than when they came.
Realizing this wouldn't work, and considering he was a boy, Shao Yuheng took a deep breath and pointed to the file folder in Zhen Tian's hand: "What did you buy?"
Zhen Tian glanced down at him, then shook her head: "I don't know either."
She simply reached out and opened it; having something to do was less awkward than remaining silent.
The document bag contained only a thin sheet of paper, followed by a piece of cardboard.
Zhen Tian reached out and took them all out.
"What is this?" Shao Yuheng looked down and glanced at it.
Zhen Tian flipped the paper over: "Ah. A CATTI qualification certificate!"
She suddenly perked up, glanced at the list, and finally focused on the 96 points marked in red.
"Aaaaaaah... I only got 96 points!!!"
She excitedly grabbed Shao Yuheng's sleeve.
"Is this Ji Yuzhi's certificate?" Shao Yuheng asked slowly.
"Yeah. I only took the translation qualification exam. I don't know the specifics, but it's something really impressive..."
Zhen Tian looked on with admiration, and jumped up and down several times while holding the certificate.
"May I take a look?"
"Then be careful." Zhen Tian handed the paper to Shao Yuheng.
He glanced through it; Level 1 interpreting and translation...
He doesn't know much about the translation industry, but he does know about grading systems. Level 1 is generally considered top-tier, let alone a near-perfect score. A run for first place in the country seems like a sure thing.
The frustration in my chest seemed to have intensified.
"Can you give it back to me now?" Zhen Tian asked, blinking her watery eyes.
"Thanks."
Shao Yuheng handed it back. Zhen Tian stuffed the certificate back into its outer casing for better preservation.
“He is very strong. And very capable.” Shao Yuheng couldn’t deny it against his conscience: “But the more capable he is, the busier he is, the less time he has to spend with you and the less he can take care of you.”
"It's okay. He always took care of me before, so I'll take care of him from now on." Zhen Tian's smile stung Shao Yuheng's eyes. He felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.
"You must be a little girl who needs to be taken care of."
“I also think I should be like that.” Zhen Tian thought about the past: “But Zhizhi has always been rushing forward for me, and I can’t just stop and wait for him. If I can’t be by his side, I should at least be behind him.”
After saying that, Zhen Tian smiled again, a particularly sweet smile, like a little girl raised in a candy jar: "I've arrived, thank you for bringing me back, senior."
Holding the certificate, she couldn't wait to call Zhizhi.
"Sweetie." Shao Yuheng hurriedly called out to her.
"Um?"
"Let's remain friends."
Zhen Tian was surprised for a moment, then smiled at him: "Of course."
"Okay. Let's go back."
Shao Yuheng returned to his dorm room dejectedly. His roommate was playing video games: "Where's my package?"
He had just been playing a game when Shao Yuheng asked in the dorm group chat if anyone had a package to pick up. He promptly sent him the pickup code. Seriously, getting their student council president to pick up a package for them was an incredibly rare occurrence.
"Take it yourself."
Shao Yuheng slumped in his chair, closing his eyes to suppress the bitter feeling in his chest.
My roommate was confused: "Didn't you go get it? Otherwise, why are you asking us?"
"Just asking."
Shao Yuheng grabbed his clothes and went to the bathroom, leaving his roommate, whose expression was complicated, watching him from behind.
...
Zhen Tian ran into the dormitory with the package and locked the door.
Only she and Yang Tao were in the dorm. When Yang Tao saw her running in like a madwoman and locking the door, she immediately became nervous: "What's wrong? Is someone chasing you?"
No. Look at this.
Zhen Tian showed off her certificate to Yang Tao: "Zhizhi's translation certificate, 96 points!"
"You're running like someone's chasing you because of this?" Yang Tao pouted.
"Take a good look, this certificate is extremely valuable."
Zhen Tian was overjoyed and couldn't help but call Ji Yuzhi, who was far away in the United States.
As soon as the call connected, Zhen Tian started chattering away like a little hamster.
Ji Yuzhi was amused by her: "What's wrong?"
"Zhizhi, your CATTI certificate is back! You got 96 points! You're amazing!"
Zhen Tian's voice was cheerful, like a sparrow chirping incessantly on a tree trunk in the early morning.
"Okay, put it away when it arrives."
Ji Yuzhi, on the other hand, didn't feel anything. Having lived the life of the elite for so long, he was unmoved by praise or criticism.
Did you send it to me?
"No, you were the recipient." Normally, the person should go to collect the certificate with specific documentation, but he went to country M. So he had to ask them to mail it back.
Zhen Tian kept praising Ji Yuzhi, and he didn't need to say much; Zhen Tian had already told him almost everything they had talked about.
He listened quietly.
What's afternoon here is midnight there.
When Zhen Tian mentioned feeling thirsty, she glanced at the sunlight outside the window and that's when she remembered.
"Zhizhi, it should be past 2 a.m. where you are. Why aren't you asleep yet?" Zhen Tian's excited heart turned cold, and worry welled up inside her.
"I was asleep, but your phone call woke me up."
"Little sister-in-law," Zheng An said silently to Feng Li. Feng Li nodded and shushed the group of blond-haired, blue-eyed people around her.
People couldn't understand Chinese, but they could tell that Ji was different from usual.
Zhen Tian exclaimed, then guiltily twirled her hair, "I'm sorry, I was so happy I forgot the time. You should go to sleep."
"It's nothing." Ji Yuzhi hadn't heard Zhen Tian's voice in a long time. He was so busy here that he only had time to send her good morning and good night messages: "Have you been having a good time lately?"
"I'm so happy."
She rattled off a long story about recent events to Ji Yuzhi.
Zheng An could visibly feel that the old man leaning back in his chair was less tense. He suddenly wanted to be in a relationship. Were girlfriends really that useful?
"I miss you."
Ji Yuzhi waited a long time before finally hearing the words he most wanted to hear.
"Me too, wait for me to come back."
"Mmm. You should go to sleep."
Okay, good night.
"good evening."
Yang Tao felt a bittersweet feeling watching Zhen Tian say goodnight in the middle of the afternoon.
"If your wife knew you were staying up all night every day, wouldn't she kill us, the ones who covered it up?"
