A simple breakfast was placed on the table. Xia Ruoming and Xiao Qinghan buried their heads and ate by themselves, neither looking at each other.
Xiao Qinghan would rub her fingers together from time to time, as if she was still feeling the remaining warmth.
This action made Xia Ruoming even more upset.
"Um...Sister Qinghan...what happened last night..." Xia Ruoming finally spoke first, but didn't know how to continue.
"Ruoming, do you like me?" When Xiao Qinghan saw Chu Suhe and Xia Ruoming coming in arm in arm, she knew that this was a question that would not have a good ending, but she wanted to know Xia Ruoming's feelings no matter what.
"Sister Qinghan... I don't know..." Xia Ruoming answered frankly without using any roundabout way.
She really didn't know. Obviously, the only person she loved in this life was Chu Suhe. However, because she changed Xiao Qinghan's life without authorization, Xiao Qinghan and her life also had different intersections.
Whether it was the date when he took her first kiss or the real pleasure they had.
Xiao Qinghan always tugs at Xia Ruoming's heartstrings again and again.
"You like Su He, right?" Xiao Qinghan smiled brightly, looking very charming and not seeming to be hurt at all.
Looking at the silent Xia Ruoming, Xiao Qinghan already had the answer in his heart.
"Ruoming, can you help me get my bag?" Xiao Qinghan said softly, pointing to the shoulder bag on the sofa.
"good."
After responding softly, Xia Ruoming stood up and took Xiao Qinghan's bag. The physical discomfort almost made her stumble.
Xiao Qinghan searched for a long time, then took out a transparent frosted box, with several dried flowers lying quietly inside. In the past, they seemed full of love and vitality. Now they are silent and dry, but they still seem to have a trace of warmth and fragrance from the past. They are still telling Xiao Qinghan's feelings and are still waiting. They still want to bloom again and be loved again.
"Ruoming, this is the flower you gave me. I wanted it to stay with me forever as a souvenir, but now, I'll give it to you as a gift." Xiao Qinghan smiled gently and pushed the box in front of Xia Ruoming. "Ruoming, what is the flower language of baby's breath?"
"Pure and flawless love?" Xia Ruoming's scalp tingled as soon as she answered. She finally understood why Xiao Qinghan had changed so much after that day. She originally wanted to use the flower language of "I want to help you with my humble power."
"Bingo! But that's not what I want to say." Xiao Qinghan paused, as if thinking about what to say next, and then slowly said: "What I want to say is another meaning of baby's breath, and that's what I want to say to you, Ruomeng."
Xia Ruoming felt as if the world was targeting her in some way. She had just used the sweet pea flower to politely reject Xu Fengwu, but this time, Xiao Qinghan wanted to tell her something with purple baby's breath.
After leaving Xiao Qinghan's house, Xia Ruoming opened her mobile phone and searched the flower language of purple baby's breath.
Looking at the flower language that ranked second besides the one that symbolized purity and innocence, Xia Ruoming almost dropped her phone to the ground.
The flower language of purple baby's breath: [pure and flawless love], [willing to play a supporting role].
…
…
Xia Ruoming had just returned home and was lying on the sofa to calm down for a while when Xia Jingsong came over with his cell phone, and Liu Ruoxue also sat beside her.
"Just as you thought, daughter, the Peking University Admissions Office called and asked if you are interested in Peking University." Xia Jingsong sat down and said to Xia Ruoming. Xia Ruoming had anticipated this and had taught them how to answer in advance.
After the call came, Yang Xundao, a teacher at school, also called. Since Xiao Qinghan had resigned, Yang Xundao was now the acting class teacher, so the notification of such matters naturally fell on Yang Xundao.
Although they did not think that the so-called phone call was a scam, the arrogant words their daughter said to the reporter that day showed that she was very confident, so they naturally did not doubt her.
Xia Ruoming picked up the phone, looked at the previous phone number, and called back directly.
"Hello, I'm Xia Ruoming. My parents answered the call before. What can I do for you?" Although Xia Ruoming said this humbly, her heart was as clear as a mirror, and she could guess what the other party would say next.
"It's like this. I'm Director Zhang from Peking University's Admissions Office. Our teachers have some knowledge of your test paper, Xia Ruoming. After our unanimous discussion, we believe that you have a promising future. Our school has additional special admissions quotas, and one of them will be allocated to you. What do you think?"
"All the teachers in our admissions office sincerely invite you to join Peking University."
"As long as you apply for admission to Peking University now, we will immediately admit you through internal recruitment. If we have to wait until the scores are announced, we will not be able to do so. I hope Xia Ruoming will consider it carefully."
Obviously, the words were slightly threatening, and they had already known from their daughter that they would say that, but when Liu Ruoxue and Xia Jingsong heard them, they still laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
Sure enough, it was exactly as she had thought. Back then, she had been admitted to Sichuan University, but was almost fooled by the neighboring Rongcheng University. Could she be fooled this time?
"The Tsinghua University next door said the same thing. You two can discuss your words and then decide what to say." Xia Ruoming said ruthlessly to the other end of the phone, "Besides, I like to speak based on my ability. With my grades, will I not be able to get into Peking University when the scores come out?"
Some of the arrogant words made Director Zhang unable to refute.
There were no students who were blocked from the college entrance examination that year. Xia Ruoming's transcript with a score of 742, the top scorer in liberal arts, was already on the desks of various prestigious schools, and there must have been an endless stream of calls from them.
"Damn it, you still want to fool me? Come back with some sincerity." Xia Ruoming cursed after hanging up the phone. Although she didn't really plan to go to Peking University or Tsinghua University, she just wanted to negotiate terms. But Peking University is too shitty. It doesn't mention any benefits and relies purely on fooling people. If you want to fill your stomach with pie in the sky, at least you have to draw a pie in the sky, right?
She almost laughed herself out of anger. If I didn't do well in the exam, would you call me to fool me? There is such a good thing in this world. She wrote the three words "Xia Ruoming" backwards, as if she was a three-year-old child.
"Damn it, how does she know her grades?" Director Zhang on the other end of the phone heard the beep, put down the phone and cursed inwardly.
Wait, what did she say that Tsinghua University next door also said the same thing?
Damn, could it be that Qinghua, this stupid teammate, has let on and directly told Xia Ruoming the whole thing?
No, since the stupid teammate just refused to play chess and smashed the chessboard, they don’t have to follow any rules.
