Meng Xinran's hands froze completely.
"How is that possible? How do you have a ticket for zone A?" Meng Xinran kept looking at the ticket, "Then where's my ticket?"
He murmured something, as if he couldn't believe it.
The force in his hand almost tore the ticket into pieces.
Lin Qi finally reacted at this moment. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, took the ticket from Meng Xinran, and handed it to Qin Ran.
He was a little afraid to look into Qin Ran's eyes, "Ran Ran, uncle... uncle is ashamed."
At first, he didn't understand the situation clearly. He thought Qin Ran was the one who started the trouble first, so he ignored her.
He even blamed her for wasting Meng Xinran's time.
Later, out of guilt, he wanted to make the matter smaller, thinking that it was a charity for Qin Ran and his apology to her.
He even thought that Qin Ran would feel lucky because he did not pursue the matter.
...
...
However, he never expected that Qin Ran was an innocent person from beginning to end!
She was framed by Meng Xinran, who also smashed the table and threw books at her.
Qin Ran knew in her heart that she didn't take Meng Xinran's ticket at all, so Meng Xinran's behavior and words were extremely ridiculous.
If Lin Qi had been unhappy with Qin Ran for throwing Meng Xinran's desk and books down from the fifth floor before, now he felt that Qin Ran's action was perfectly normal.
Even if Qin Ran was a little more ruthless, Lin Qi would not think it was excessive.
Lin Qi felt more ashamed. He bowed to Qin Ran to express his apology.
Qin Ran just turned around, put away the ticket, and said calmly, "It's okay."
Lin Qi listened, but his heart sank.
Things were indeed heading towards the worst.
Qiao Sheng stood next to Gao Yang and didn't say much from beginning to end. He only frowned and looked at Meng Xinran when Qin Ran took out the ticket, and then looked at Qin Ran in shock.
"Xinran, apologize to Ranran." Lin Qi paused and spoke to Meng Xinran.
Meng Xinran pursed her lips, with a cold face and said nothing, "But my ticket was stolen."
Lin Qi pinched his brows, seeming to be very tired.
He opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was a knock on the door.
A middle-aged woman came in.
Qin Ran stood closest to the door.
She was leaning against the table, her legs lazily draped over her, her head slightly tilted, her sidelong brows showing a hint of impatience.
When the middle-aged woman came in, the first person she saw was her. She seemed to be surprised to see her here, and she frowned subconsciously.
"Mrs. Zhang? Why are you here?" Lin Qi turned his eyes and saw Mrs. Zhang, and spoke in surprise.
Mrs. Zhang remembered something important and immediately took something out of her bag and handed it to Lin Qi. "It's like this, Mr. Lin, when I was changing the fragrance in my cousin's room at night, I saw the ticket in the corner. Later, they said that the ticket was very important to the lady, so I immediately sent it over."
After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Mrs. Zhang paused, "Did I... say something wrong?"
Did the servant lie to her?
When Mrs. Zhang found the tickets in Meng Xinran's room at night, she was about to put them on the dressing table.
A servant nearby said that Meng Xinran was looking for this in a hurry and told Mrs. Zhang the address.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took a taxi and rushed over.
“No, you didn’t say anything wrong.” Lin Qi didn’t even dare to look at Qin Ran.
After all this fuss, it’s all just a farce.
He took a deep breath, and after so many years of self-cultivation, he found his voice again, "Teacher Gao, I'm really sorry to bother you tonight."
Meng Xinran took the four tickets handed over by Mrs. Zhang.
Four consecutive numbers, not one less.
By now, it is clear who is the most innocent and who is implicated by whom.
Thinking back to what Meng Xinran had said before, asking Lin Qi to take good care of Qin Ran, how sarcastic it was at the time, how embarrassing it was now.
Meng Xinran's face also turned red. Being stared at by Qiao Sheng and Gao Yang, she didn't dare to raise her head and just left.
Lin Qi apologized to Qin Ran again and ran out of the door.
Ning Qing clenched her bag tightly between her fingers and wanted to say something to Qin Ran, but Qin Ran didn't look at her.
**
“Fuck, Sister Ran, where did you get the ticket?!” On Qin Ran’s way back, Qiao Sheng finally reacted. He scratched his hair, turned sideways, and looked at Qin Ran beside him.
Qin Ran was holding a cell phone in her hand, texting with someone unknown, her eyes lowered, silent and cold.
Qiao Sheng was chattering in her ear. She couldn't help but reach out to pick her ears and glanced at him. "Someone else gave it to me."
"Who is so kind to give you this?" Qiao Sheng walked around to her other side, "Why didn't anyone give it to me?"
“Lu Zhaoying,” Qin Ran answered casually. Seeing that Qiao Sheng didn’t understand, she explained, “The school doctor in the school clinic.”
Qiao Sheng, who had been warned countless times by Xu Yaoguang, was now completely discouraged.
He was silent for a moment, "I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you."
Qin Ran said "yes" without even raising her head.
Arriving at the school clinic, Qin Ran waved at him and went in directly.
It was almost dark. Qiao Sheng went to the monitoring room right after class and hadn't eaten yet.
There was no food in the cafeteria at the moment, so he didn't go out. He just bought a bucket of instant noodles and went to Xu Yaoguang's dormitory to eat them.
"Master Xu, didn't you say that those people in the school infirmary are not easy to deal with?" Qiao Sheng poured the hot water, stabbed the fork in it, sat down on the chair, and looked at Xu Yaoguang sideways.
Xu Yaoguang lived in a single dormitory, which was rare in the dormitory building. The place was spacious and he even put a table and chairs there.
Qiao Sheng put his legs on the table.
"It's true that they are not easy to deal with. Don't hang around there if you have nothing to do." Xu Yaoguang didn't look up. His slender fingers were flipping through a physics book, his eyes were cold. "You won't even know how you died when the time comes."
Qiao Sheng put his hands on the table and said weakly, "But I see that Sister Ran gets along well with them, and some people even gave her tickets."
After what happened today, Qiao Sheng knew that his chances of getting the ticket from Meng Xinran were basically gone.
Hearing this, Xu Yaoguang's eyebrows moved, as if he couldn't understand it.
Before he could come up with anything, his phone lit up again.
He didn't even bother with the physics book, he just picked up his phone and took a look.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiao Sheng stirred the noodles with a fork and took another bite.
Seeing Xu Yaoguang like this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Master Xu, is this news about Qin Yu again?"
"Well, she sent me two tickets for us to go see her first performance at the end of the month." Xu Yaoguang put down his phone, tilted his head, and spoke in a cold voice.
Qiao Sheng swallowed it, without raising his head, and said, "I'm not going."
Xu Yaoguang glanced at him and said calmly, "This time she's performing a new song. I've listened to some of the videos she sent over. She's made great progress. It would be a shame not to go."
"I'd better go back and beg my dad to let He Wen and I pretend to be insiders and sneak into the exhibition match tomorrow." Thinking of this, Qiao Sheng felt a little hopeless.
**
Qin Ran also arrived at the school clinic.
Cheng Mu started to set the table only after he saw her coming back.
Lu Zhaoying secretly looked at Qin Ran's expression. Although she still looked like someone who was not easy to mess with, it was obvious that she was in a better mood than before she left.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Juan glanced at her, slowly put down what he was holding, and took a step forward, seemingly not too surprised.
At the dinner table, Qin Ran ate slowly and leisurely, wondering who had secretly found Mrs. Zhang.
Soon, Lu Zhaoying sent a message in the discussion group -
[Lu Zhaoying]: Come on, brothers. I have already got a few work badges from my dad. See you at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon! 【picture】
Then another location address was sent.
Qin Ran stroked her chin and looked at the news thoughtfully.
After dinner, Qin Ran continued to practice calligraphy on the table. She wrote slowly with her left hand, and her eyes were full of annoyance.
Cheng Mu brought her a cup of tea and carefully glanced at the words she had written.
A little surprised, progress?
"Do you know whose calligraphy that is?" Lu Zhaoying touched his chin and looked at Cheng Mu mysteriously.
Cheng Mu shook his head, expressionless: "Who?"
"Master Jiang."
Cheng Mu looked confused, as if wondering who Master Jiang was.
“He’s the master that our old man invited five times last year before he got a landscape painting.” Lu Zhaoying threw away his brush and leaned back.
After hearing this, Cheng Mu suddenly remembered, "You mean Master Zhang who has a weird temper, sells things that are extremely expensive, and rarely sells his works to others?"
"That's him." Lu Zhaoying snapped his fingers.
Cheng Mu then looked in the direction of Qin Ran in surprise.
"Your master Juan asked Master Jiang to write several calligraphy works for Qin Xiaoran to practice." Lu Zhaoying narrowed his eyes and finally lowered his voice, "Cheng Mu, let me ask you, if it was your old man, how confident would he be in asking Master Jiang to write calligraphy works?"
Cheng Mu's face was stiff. "A painting is fine, or a calligraphy copybook..."
Almost impossible.
The two of them thought of it almost at the same time.
Then they looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
So how did they invite Master Juan?
**
On the other side, the Lin family.
Lin Jinxuan has already gone to the school in Beijing.
Lin Qi did not go home at night, but went to the Lin family's old house.
In Mr. Lin's study, Lin Qi hesitated for a moment before speaking in shame: "Dad, I messed up something today."
A little tired.
"What's the matter?" Master Lin rarely saw Lin Qi like this. He put down the teacup and the expression on his wrinkled face paused.
"It's about Xinran." Lin Qi recounted the whole story of what happened today.
The language is concise, but straight to the point.
After saying that, Lin Qi lowered his head and said, “When you asked me to pay attention to Qin Ran, I actually chose Yu’er and didn’t dare to tell you. Now that something like this has happened, it’s impossible for our Lin family to befriend her.”
Finally, he sighed again: "I don't know how I will face her in the future."
After listening to this, Mr. Lin did not answer immediately.
After a long while, he frowned slightly and said, "What you did today was indeed inappropriate, but how did she get the ticket from the Yunguang Group?"
Lin Qi didn't know about this either.
“Forget it, things have come to this,” Old Master Lin was calmer than Lin Qi. “There are so many talented people in the world, who knows what will happen in the future? With her emotional intelligence, it’s uncertain whether she can seize opportunities in the future. You also said that Qin Ran is not good at studying, which means she is unstable and ambitious. She may fall hard in the future.”
After thinking for a while, Mr. Lin continued, “Wan’er told me yesterday that they said that the probability that Master Wei can accept Yu’er is 90%. Yu’er and Qin Ran are not compatible. This is good, so you don’t have to be in a dilemma anymore.”
As a businessman, profit is the most important thing in the end.
"I understand." Lin Qi raised his head. "I will go find her and apologize to her in person tomorrow."
Mr. Lin nodded nonchalantly, "How many people are going to attend Yu'er's performance at the end of the month?"
"Her mother and Jinxuan, I'm busy at the company, so I won't go."
"Okay." Mr. Lin nodded.
**
After Qin Ran finished practicing her calligraphy, she returned to Class 9 to continue her evening self-study.
Class 9 remained silent.
But no one is collecting the pile of books downstairs of the senior high school teaching building.
Qin Ran put the original book she brought back from the school clinic back on the desk. Lin Siran took a look at it in surprise and found that most of the book had returned to its original state.
Qin Ran put on her headphones expressionlessly and took out her copybook to start practicing calligraphy.
Qiao Sheng and his group also arrived late. When they arrived, they were chattering about how to sneak into the exhibition match tomorrow.
Gao Yang asked the squad leader and others to prepare a new table for Xing Meng Xinran and put it in the last row.
Right behind Qiao Sheng.
Meng Xinran is such a proud person, he will not stay in Class Nine any longer.
She was transferred directly to Class 1.
At this moment, she was standing by the back door with her arms folded across her chest, expressionless.
Three boys from Class 1 came up and helped her carry things.
The leading boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes had previously asked Qiao Sheng to take him into the exhibition match, but Qiao Sheng refused. After all, it would be very risky for him to take He Wen and others in.
Seeing Qiao Sheng and the others discussing fiercely about how to sneak into the exhibition match tomorrow, he spoke with some satisfaction: "Qiao Sheng, He Wen, I'm really sorry, classmate Meng Xinran just gave us three tickets."
Meng Xinran crossed his arms and looked at Qiao Sheng and the others indifferently, with a mocking smile on his face. He didn't look at Qin Ran, as if he looked down on her.
Qiao Sheng glanced at them and said nothing.
Class 9 is very quiet.
“Pah—”
Qin Ran took off her headphones and threw them on the table.
This action was abrupt and everyone looked at her.
Qin Ran pinched her wrist, then turned sideways and looked at Qiao Sheng. She said expressionlessly, “I forgot to give you something just now.”
As she spoke, she reached into her left pocket and felt nothing.
He frowned, and irritably reached into his right pocket again, finally finding it, and casually threw it onto Qiao Sheng's desk.
The distance of three meters is very accurate.
Everyone looked in the direction she threw it.
On Qiao Sheng's desk——
It was a stack of exhibition game tickets.
The boy who was speaking happily just now seemed to have his throat strangled by someone.
