His face was rosy and he looked like he had a good rest.
He looked listless, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been up all night.
The gap was too obvious. The other invigilators passing by looked at the two in surprise. Finally, they set their sights on Ning Guochao and said earnestly, "Young man, don't rely on your good health to not rest well. Sooner or later, you will regret it."
"That's right. Look at Master Wen Tian. She has had a good rest. She looks radiant and even more beautiful!"
Wen Qi smiled widely, thanked politely, and praised back.
Ning Guochao was speechless. Didn't he want to sleep well? He couldn't sleep!
Ah! I am so annoyed! Ning Guochao was in a bad mood all morning. He kept mumbling in a daze, "Why hasn't Xiaoling replied to my message yet..."
Wen Qi rolled his eyes several times in succession, not trusting him to set up the formation, so he could only do the hard work himself.
Thinking of the message Fan Xiaoling sent her yesterday, Wen Qi sighed and said, "Just bear with it, it will be over soon!" At lunch time, Wen Qi and Ning Guochao found a flat place with rocks to sit on and prepared to eat lunch.
Ning Guochao took out a lunch box from his backpack. It contained two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus a bowl of rice, which he had packed from the cafeteria. The dishes were already cold, but luckily the temperature was not low, so he could still eat the cold rice.
While eating, he suddenly smelled the aroma of meat. Ning Guochao paused and put some into his mouth. The meat, which he thought was okay, suddenly became tough.
When he looked up, Ning Guochao saw Wenqi opening the thermal lunch boxes one by one. There were beef brisket stewed with potatoes, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup. Each one was steaming and not only smelled delicious, but also looked delicious.
Ning Guochao looked down at his lunch box and lost his appetite all of a sudden. He put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Master Wen Tian, did you cook this meal yourself? Your cooking skills are amazing."
Wen Qi's eyes curved with laughter. "I can't cook, so Feng Ce cooked for me. He got up very early in the morning and made it for me! I don't wake up naturally in the morning, I'm woken up by the smell!"
Ning Guochao was very surprised, "Mr. Feng can actually cook, and he cooks so well!" He thought that the young masters of wealthy families were all ignorant and had absolutely no life skills.
Wen Qi said proudly: "Our President Feng is an all-rounder! He knows everything!"
What a coincidence, Feng Ce was sitting behind the surveillance camera watching her. Even more coincidental was that there was a camera opposite Wen Qi, facing her face, capturing her little expressions and lip movements clearly.
Feng Ce's bad mood, which had caused Wen Qi to work all the time because Ning Guochao was lazy, was cured in an instant.
He was also eating the same meal. His face was expressionless and his eyes were cold, but now a smile was overflowing from his eyes. The entire monitoring room changed from a cold winter to a warm spring.
Ning Guochao, who was under surveillance, began to reflect on himself after hearing this. He could catch ghosts, do housework, drive, and... I can't remember. He couldn't cook and his mouth was stupid. Oh, when will Xiaoling reply to him? Ning Guochao was very worried.
After resting for a while after dinner, the two continued to walk to the next point.
Ning Guochao seemed to be stimulated and started rushing to work.
Wen Qi was very surprised, "Why are you suddenly so excited?"
Ning Guochao said seriously: "I can't let Xiaoling think that I am a useless man."
Wen Qi twitched his lips speechlessly and just watched him work, waiting for him to finish before checking.
I am so busy in the morning and so idle in the afternoon. It's so confusing.
When eating at night, Ning Guochao's state was completely different from that at noon. He ate more when he smelled the aroma of rice coming from Wen Qi's place! This afternoon was really tiring! Before twelve o'clock, the last point was also arranged.
Wen Qi smiled in relief, "I can have a day off tomorrow! The exam starts the day after tomorrow, so I can go home in about four or five days!"
Ning Guochao uttered "hmm" weakly.
Wen Qi looked back at him and frowned, "You look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"
Ning Guochao shook his head, "I'm just too sleepy."
Wen Qi hesitated to speak, turned back and walked down the mountain, muttering, "I'm sleepy at the wrong time."
Just walked down the mountain.
Wen Qi laughed before he even looked up and saw anyone, "How did you get in? Aren't candidates prohibited from entering?"
Ning Guochao, who was a little behind, was confused and thought he was hallucinating, until he took a few steps forward and the figure he had been thinking about suddenly came into his sight.
At that moment, it seemed as if the flow of time slowed down, the whole world became quiet, everything around became extremely blurry, and only that figure was the clearest.
I don't know how long it was until Fan Xiaoling's gaze swept over him intentionally or unintentionally, and the world returned to normal again. Ning Guochao also subconsciously covered his face.
But he was obviously a beat slow to react. Fan Xiaoling still saw his terrible expression. She paused while talking to Wen Qi and frowned.
Wen Qi looked back and patted her shoulder, "Go ahead, we'll talk after you finish the exam."
Fan Xiaoling smiled at her and walked towards Ning Guochao.
Ning Guochao was still trying in vain to cover most of his face. He knew he was ugly without even looking in the mirror, so he only showed one eye and asked cautiously with joy, "How did you get in?"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Fan Xiaoling's eyes. She had clearly answered Wen Qi just now, "You are only here to visit a friend as a candidate. You cannot go up the mountain or enter the room. The activity area is only in the open-air public area and the maximum time is one hour."
Ning Guochao subconsciously put down his hand and took out his cell phone. "It's already past twelve o'clock, and this place is remote. How are you going to leave later? It's too dangerous..."
"Why do you look so bad?" Fan Xiaoling's eyes flashed with a trace of distress, "Didn't you get enough rest these past two days?"
Ning Guochao suddenly raised his hand to cover his face and turned slightly to the side, "Don't look at me first, I must be very ugly now, don't ruin the image of me in your heart."
Fan Xiaoling rolled her eyes and said, "Your image in my mind can't get any worse!" If it gets any worse, I really can't keep you!
Ning Guochao's eyes dimmed a little, "You are right." He slowly put down his hand and lowered his head, not daring to look at her, "I'm sorry, I have realized my mistake, I promise not to make a similar mistake again, can you forgive me?"
Fan Xiaoling pursed her lips and said nothing. She had thought very well before coming here. She must not forgive him easily. She must let him remember this lesson. Even if it was out of care, this misunderstanding was too outrageous! But after coming here, seeing Ning Guochao like this, she really softened her heart instantly. She felt that she was not doing well, but he seemed to have really known that he was wrong.
Of course, this horrible look was definitely not entirely because of her. The heavy workload must have played a part as well, but she really couldn't bear it.
Fan Xiaoling was angry with herself, and had nothing nice to say, "It's so ugly! And it stinks! Stay away from me!"
Ning Guochao lowered his head and took a step back silently. His aura became even lower. He just squatted in the corner without any makeup and could directly cosplay as a mushroom.
Even so, he still insisted, "I know I was wrong, can you forgive me?" Ning Guochao's voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of sobs, "I really like you, please don't leave me."
Fan Xiaoling was startled, and subconsciously leaned closer to look at his face, "Are you crying?"
Ning Guochao raised his hands to cover his eyes, and his voice was clearly filled with tears, but he was very stubborn, "No, a real man sheds blood but not tears, it's no big deal."
Fan Xiaoling stood up straight and said "Oh" in a flat tone, "It turns out it's not a big deal. Then I'd better leave first and go out to find someone who can treat me as a big deal."
"Don't!" Ning Guochao raised his head without even wiping his tears and looked directly at Fan Xiaoling, who seemed to be smiling. He felt embarrassed for a moment and quickly turned his back, taking a deep breath, trying to suppress his tears.
Fan Xiaoling suddenly felt relieved and her tone softened, "Okay, I forgive you, don't cry."
Ning Guochao turned around suddenly, with a look of disbelief and surprise on his face, "Really?"
Fan Xiaoling looked at the tears that had not yet dried from the corners of his eyes and nodded with mixed feelings, "But! If it happens again, it will be useless even if you cry to death!"
Ning Guochao subconsciously took a step forward to explain, but was afraid that Fan Xiaoling would dislike the smell on him, so he stepped back. Then he said, "I'm not crying because I want you to forgive me. I really thought you didn't want me anymore."
"I haven't cried since I was ten years old." Ning Guochao felt ashamed belatedly, his whole face turned red and the blush spread towards his neck.
Fan Xiaoling blinked, and a strange sense of accomplishment arose in her heart.
Wow, she made Ning Guochao cry.
