Upon hearing this, Qi Jincheng remained silent for a few seconds before resolutely telling her, "As long as Xi'er has an idea, I will find a way."
"Huh?" Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant.
Qi Jincheng said mysteriously, "You'll find out later."
His words piqued Qiao Xi's curiosity even more, but she didn't press him further. He said it would be later, so she would wait.
Late at night, Qi Jincheng was holding the sleeping person in his arms and was about to fall asleep when his phone suddenly vibrated. He usually turned off the sound before going to sleep, but he forgot to do so today.
He carefully removed his hand from behind Qiao Xi's neck, slowly turned around, picked up his phone to turn off the sound, worried about waking Qiao Xi. But as he picked up his phone, his attention was drawn to the WeChat name 'Little White Dragon in the Waves', which was the message from this person.
No wonder he thought Qiao Xi's game account name looked familiar; it turns out he had a similar name on his phone.
The chat window opened and the first message was: "Cousin, I'm coming to Beijing to stay with you tomorrow."
Upon seeing the term "cousin," Qi Jincheng finally remembered who he was.
Du Xinyu is the eldest son of the Du family in Jiangcheng, and also the only son of his mother's younger sister.
However, they rarely contacted each other, and due to their age difference and personality differences, Qi Jincheng didn't even change his nickname.
He suddenly sent me a message late at night, asking if I wanted to come and stay with him.
Qi Jincheng replied coldly, "What is it?"
Soon, the other party sent a long message: "My mom is forcing me to go on blind dates! Is there no justice in this world? I'm a fresh graduate... a flower yet to bloom for our nation, how could she be so cruel to me?!"
Qi Jincheng frowned uncomfortably, offering no interesting reply: "Is there anything else?"
【Aren't you going to do anything about this???】 Du Xinyu added three question marks after the question to express his surprise!
Qi Jincheng wanted to just turn off his phone and go to sleep, but he still graciously replied, "What does this have to do with me?"
Upon seeing his reply, Du Xinyu's face contorted with rage, and he desperately wanted to have a serious talk with him. However, remembering that he needed his help, he could only suppress his anger and feign pitifulness. "Cousin, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
Qi Jincheng, having shown him utmost kindness and righteousness, finally replied with four words: "May you have good fortune."
Du Xinyu's heart sank instantly, completely! That was his last hope, and now that hope was shattered. Did he really have to go on a blind date?
No, he's too young, he can't handle it, he has to run!
...
During lunch break, the class teacher walked into the classroom with yesterday's exam rankings.
I thought he would just put it on the podium for the students to look up themselves, since that's how it's always been done.
But this time, he gathered his classmates and took a short break during lunch to personally announce the rankings of the results to them.
Qiu Yishi, with a rare serious expression, announced to the students: "Students, the results of yesterday's exam are out."
Apart from Qiao Xi, no one present seemed to have any expectations for the rankings this time, especially some of the people who had consistently held the number one spot. They probably thought they would undoubtedly take the number one position again this time.
Unfortunately, he's going to be proven wrong this time.
The homeroom teacher seemed to pause intentionally, his gaze unconsciously fixed on Qiao Xi, and then he said loudly, "Congratulations to Qiao Xi of our class."
As soon as he said that, a burst of laughter erupted from below. "Hahaha, it's the same old story, last place again."
"Class teacher, is Qiao Xi going to be number one in the grade again this time?" A boy in the front row asked with ill intent, and a few even exaggeratedly slapped the table to mock Qiao Xi.
Qiu Yishi ignored them and continued speaking from where he left off, "Achieve first place in the grade."
Before he could finish speaking, another round of mocking laughter rang out, "Just as I thought."
"Sigh." Someone deliberately sighed heavily and said, "There's no doubt that the first and last place are both in our class."
They seemed to think Qiu Yishi was being sarcastic, trying to save face for Qiao Xi, when in fact she was in last place.
"Quiet!" Qiu Yishi loudly stopped their discussion, saying with a serious expression, "I'm talking about the first place in the grade, not the last place."
After he finished speaking, all the noise in the classroom disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The students' faces were filled with shock and disbelief. After exchanging bewildered glances, they thought it was a joke. "Teacher, you're kidding, right?"
Qiu Yishi remained serious. "I'm not joking. Qiao Xi performed exceptionally well this time, ranking first in the grade with a perfect score."
Upon hearing this, the entire class fell into a deathly silence once again.
The most incredulous person was Lu Mingxuan. His face was extremely grim. He didn't think the class teacher would joke about something like this, but he simply couldn't accept that Qiao Xi had gotten first place in the exam!
He knew her academic character better than anyone, and he knew even better why she came to the finance department. Getting her to study seriously was simply impossible, unless she…
A self-righteous idea popped into his head, because that was the only reason that could convince him.
After a brief silence, the doubts resurfaced: "Are you kidding me? If she's first in the grade, then I'm first in the entire department."
"Exactly, how could she possibly be first in the grade!"
One by one, the classmates denied this fact, saying, "If she could get first place in the grade, I'd cut off my head and let her kick it around like a ball."
"Hahaha!" Laughter erupted again in the classroom.
At that moment, a girl suddenly asked sarcastically, "If she's first in the grade, then what about Lu?"
In the girls' minds, apart from Lu Mingxuan, probably no one else is qualified to be number one in the grade.
Qiu Yishi also praised Lu Mingxuan, saying, "Lu performed well this time, ranking second in the grade by ten points."
"What?!"
These words shocked the students, and their doubts grew louder and louder. "How is this possible? Our school heartthrob's grades are actually ten points lower than Qiao Xi's!"
The entire classroom was filled with discussions and sighs, but Qiao Xi, the person involved, remained completely unmoved.
There was another person sitting there 'unmoved', but what he was thinking was unknown. Judging from his micro-expressions, he must have been feeling bad. Qiao Xi only glanced at him.
After a long discussion, someone regained their composure and asked Qiu Yishi for confirmation, "Class teacher, are you sure you're not joking with us?"
“How can you joke about something like this?” Qiu Yishi’s answer was absolutely certain.
