After this inexplicable incident, Huo Jiangliu became even more convinced that he must stay away from Bei Ying. Whenever he needed to pass by Bei Ying's class, Huo Jiangliu would take a detour. But the school was so small that he would run into her all the time, and after a while, he had long forgotten about her.
Not only did Huo Jiangliu and Mu Wenxi treat Bei Ying like air, but even Qi Yang, after learning about this, would spit on Bei Ying whenever he saw her and pretend not to see her.
Bei Ying could no longer get close to Huo Jiangliu.
Meanwhile, the final exams for the first semester of the second year of high school are also approaching.
Qi Yang made a bet with his two classmates behind him: "Do you believe me or not, I will definitely be in the top 100 in the whole grade in this final exam?"
Huo Jiangliu didn't even raise his head, not even sparing him a glance.
Upon hearing his boastful words, Mu Wenxi recalled the last exam: "You were at the bottom of the class in the last midterm exam, right? Being at the bottom of Class 9 is almost like being in the bottom 200 of the grade."
Qi Yang: "Yes, yes, but that doesn't stop me from working hard this time. I've been working hard these past few months so that I can have a better New Year."
Mu Wenxi: "I think it's more realistic for you to move up 100 places."
Qi Yang: "Hmph, that's underestimating me too much. I need to improve by at least 300 places."
Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu exchanged a glance and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
As expected, when the results came out, Qi Yang improved, but only by about a hundred places. It was unrealistic to expect him to be among the top 100 in the grade all at once.
Qi Yang shouted from his seat, "My miserable fate! I'm going to get another beating this year, and my mom will definitely cut back on my New Year's money again."
He wailed for a long time but no one came to comfort him. When he turned around, he saw that Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu were doing their own things, and their report cards were casually placed on the table.
Qi Yang took a look and exclaimed in surprise. He knew that Huo Jiangliu had good grades, but he didn't expect Mu Wenxi to have such good grades as well: "You actually got second place in the whole grade and second place in the class. You're right below Huo Jiangliu."
Mu Wenxi glanced at him: "Don't worry, I won't let him ride on top of me next semester."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yang's mind was filled with lewd thoughts. He chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right, you'll be riding on him from now on."
Mu Wenxi didn't understand, but Huo Jiangliu did. He frowned and glanced at Qi Yang, his tone unfriendly: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Qi Yang realized he had said the wrong thing: "My mistake, my mistake, but was Wen Xi's academic performance always this good?"
Mu Wenxi: "No, it used to be around fifty for the whole grade."
Qi Yang hissed. Sure enough, the top students' thought processes were different from theirs. With a little effort, they could go straight to second place in the grade, while even if they tried their best, they would still be at the bottom.
While everything was peaceful and serene here, Bei Ying was in a rather miserable situation. She didn't do well on this exam, dropping by about a hundred places. Originally, her grades were only average in the grade, but now she was about to become a drag on the class. How could Bei Ying accept this? She blamed everything on Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu.
In the past, Bei's father loved to show off Bei Ying's grades during the Lunar New Year, but this year he was too embarrassed to even look at them, let alone praise them.
Father: "It's truly shameful."
Bei Ying: "Mom, look at Dad!"
Fritillaria: "I also feel ashamed."
Bei Ying returned to her room crying, cursing Mu Wenxi and Huo Jiangliu.
The two people who were being scolded were actually having a great time inside the Huo family's old mansion.
Before the winter break started, Mu Wenxi suddenly remembered Huo Jiangliu's leg and ran to his room: "Huo Jiangliu, let's go to the hospital."
Huo Jiangliu: "Why are you going to the hospital?"
Mu Wenxi: "Go get your leg checked."
Huo Jiangliu hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Mu Wenxi was surprised that he agreed so quickly, as he had been worried that Huo Jiangliu would disagree.
Mu Wenxi: "Then I'll go pack my things, and we'll go this afternoon."
Huo Jiangliu: "Okay."
Even if Mu Wenxi hadn't mentioned it, he still planned to go to the hospital for a checkup, because the thing in his brain told him that his bad luck was only 20% gone. He wanted to check not only his legs but also his brain.
If A knew, he would definitely criticize him for daring to question something produced by our system.
In the afternoon, Mu Wenxi accompanied Huo Jiangliu to the hospital. Because they had made an appointment in advance, they went directly to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor, holding the report, said to Huo Jiangliu, "I think you still have a chance to stand up."
Huo Jiangliu and Mu Wenxi asked in unison, "Really?"
Doctor: "It's undeniable that there have been some subtle changes in your legs, but they are for the better."
Huo Jiangliu: "What am I supposed to do?"
Doctor: "Let's try a medicated bath and massage first, then come back for a check-up in a while."
Huo Jiangliu: "Okay."
Now we don't need to have our brains checked.
Mu Wenxi jumped up and down: "Huo Jiangliu, you have a chance to stand up now."
Huo Jiangliu: "Yes, it's your good luck that's been shared with me."
Mu Wenxi: "That's great, you'll definitely get better and better."
When Mr. and Mrs. Huo heard the news, they were almost stunned. Mrs. Huo, in particular, soon nestled in Mr. Huo's arms with tears in her eyes, saying, "I told you things would get better and better."
Looking at Mu Wenxi, who was standing quietly to the side, Mr. Huo said, "Little Mu, why don't you spend the New Year at our house this year?"
Mu Wenxi looked at Huo Jiangliu and saw his expectant face: "Okay, thank you for taking me in, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to go this year."
Mother Huo raised her head, wiped away her tears, and revealed a loving smile: "Xiao Mu, what are you saying? You can stay at our house as long as you want."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Father Huo: "Tell Uncle Zhou to find a reliable doctor to give Jiang Liu a massage."
Huo Jiangliu subconsciously resisted. He looked at Mu Wenxi, who was standing to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
In the following days, Mu Wenxi would make an excuse to go out every afternoon to learn massage techniques from the doctor. Huo Jiangliu didn't know where she went and was somewhat anxious.
As soon as Mu Wenxi returned home that day, he heard the voices of Huo's mother and Huo Jiangliu.
Mother Huo: "Liu'er, how can you get better without massage?"
Huo Jiangliu: "Mom, get me someone else. She's been touching me inappropriately."
Mrs. Huo was a little angry: "Of course, someone has to touch your body to give you a massage. You've changed several masseuses in just a few days. Do the math yourself."
Huo Jiangliu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty. Actually, he didn't mean it; it was just that whenever those people got close to him and massaged his legs, he subconsciously felt disgusted and repulsed.
Mu Wenxi: "Auntie, let me do it. I've learned professional techniques from the doctor these past few days, I'm sure it will work."
Mother Huo: "Xiao Mu is back. So you've been going out to learn massage these past few days."
