As soon as Qin Sheng stepped out of the North Campus Administration Building, she saw three girls craning their necks to look at her from across the campus road.
His expression paused slightly.
The moment she paused, the three of them noticed her and immediately ran towards her.
Yuan Hui and Zhen Zhu ran ahead and looked her up and down as soon as they got close. Seeing that she was alright, they were relieved, but still asked, "How is it? The school didn't say anything, right?"
Qin Sheng: "No."
That's good.
The two were completely relieved. Seeing that she was looking past them at the people behind them, they simply stepped aside, giving them space to talk.
Pei Ling slowly walked up to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng stared at her intently for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Why did you come here?"
Pei Ling glanced at her, took off her backpack, and pulled out a card from a small compartment, handing it to her: "Xia Tian asked me to give this to you."
Qin Sheng took it and glanced at it; it was an invitation.
A summer birthday party.
Pei Ling waited for her to put away the card before saying, "Tonight, Song Yanzhi and Sangsang asked me to tell you that if you don't show up, they will come to your house to wait for you."
Qin Sheng's brow twitched.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "I understand."
Pei Ling then found a WeChat group called "Is Sister Sheng coming to the gathering today?" and sent an emoji: [OK.jpg]
The group chat erupted in cheers instantly.
By the way.
Besides Qin Sheng, Pei Ling and Feng Yuan, my high school classmates, also got into Tianjin University. Oh, and there's also Song Yanzhi.
Of course, the first two got in on their own merit, while Song Yanzhi got in by "borrowing" their place.
After all, although Song Yanzhi's grades did improve a lot in his senior year of high school, he was still a bit short of getting into Tiandu University.
However, as the most prestigious scholarly family in Tiandu, the Song family has a great reputation and high status in academic and educational circles, so Tiandu University opens up one admission spot to the Song family every year.
Last year's spot was given to Song Yanzhi.
If it were a year or so ago, Song Yi and Song Yu would never have considered wasting this spot on Song Yanzhi. After all, the gap was too big, and even if he got into Tianjin University, it would only be a disgrace.
Unexpectedly, Song Yanzhi once again performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, falling just twelve points short of the minimum admission score for Tianjin University. Therefore, after discussing it, the Song family members felt that it was acceptable.
They then allocated the spots to their own children for internal use.
Besides them, there were also Chi Sangsang, Wu Xiaoyue, Lin Ziqi, and Xia Tian, who went to Tiandu Aerospace University and Tiandu Normal University, which are not far from Tiandu University.
We live very close by, and we usually get together two or three times a month to have a meal and play games. Our relationship has always been quite good.
However, Qin Sheng rarely participates. She only goes once or twice out of ten times, and it's always because Chi Sangsang and Song Yanzhi block her way and drag her there.
It's not that they're hard to hire, it's just that they're really busy and appear out of nowhere.
It's normal to not be able to find someone; sometimes they don't even answer the phone or reply to messages.
Everyone's gotten used to it.
Thinking that it was only the first two days of the new semester, Qin Sheng probably hadn't started her experiments and other things yet, so she should have some free time. That's why she took advantage of Xia Tian's birthday to organize a birthday party and invited her to attend.
Pei Ling finished her task, said goodbye to Qin Sheng, and prepared to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, she grabbed his backpack strap.
Pei Ling turned to look at her: "Hmm?"
Qin Sheng glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. He nodded to her with his chin and said, "Let's have lunch together."
Pei Ling: "...I skipped class to come here."
She was on her way to class when she overheard people discussing how Qin Sheng had been ambushed and taken to the North District Administration Building. Feeling a bit worried, she skipped class to check on him.
Do some tasks while you're at it.
Then they ran into Zhenzhu and the other person who were waiting outside. After learning what had happened from them, they decided to wait there together.
There's still an hour before get out of class ends, and she needs to rush back to class.
But Qin Sheng wouldn't let go, and calmly said, "Since it's already up, let's keep it up."
Pei Ling: "..."
Is this something a top student should say?
Pei Ling never indulged her and refused, "No, I have to go to class."
Um……
This was probably the only person in the world besides her mother whom she couldn't argue with. Qin Sheng pressed her temples and said, "Fine, I'll go to class with you."
Without giving Pei Ling a chance to object, he said goodbye to Zhen Zhu and the other woman, then dragged Pei Ling away.
Zhenzhu and Yuanhui exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Zhenzhu: "This is the first time I've seen her compromise."
Yuan Hui wholeheartedly agreed: "He's a ruthless person."
They exchanged a wistful glance before finally parting ways.
After they were out of their sight, the "ruthless" Pei Ling subconsciously gripped her backpack strap, her lips taut, and asked Qin Sheng, "What's wrong?"
Qin Sheng glanced at her: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you what's wrong?"
He glanced at her expression, his brow furrowing again: "Why do you look so pale?"
Pei Ling's fingers tightened, but her face remained calm: "I'm preparing for the physics lab assessment, and I haven't been sleeping much lately."
That's incredible.
The little one in the family has grown up and has secrets of his own, and he's even started keeping them from her.
Qin Sheng glanced at her, neither believing nor disbelieving, and continued walking forward with her until they reached the back door of the classroom for Class 1 of Nuclear Science and Technology, where Pei Ling finally stopped.
Turning to Qin Sheng, he asked, "Are you really going in?"
Qin Sheng: "Otherwise, I'll wait for you at the classroom door."
Pei Ling: "..."
Let's forget about it then. Given her popularity and buzz at school, their class won't need to continue for a while.
Qin Sheng had already gone inside.
Without trying to hide myself, I walked straight in and found a spot with two adjacent empty seats to sit down.
Pei Ling again: "..."
Why do I keep feeling like she's deliberately getting revenge on her?
Is this just to accompany her to class? It's purely to draw her attention and arouse her hatred.
It's... not human.
Sure enough, all the students in the class turned to look at her, and even the professor who was concentrating on teaching stopped what he was doing and stared at her and Qin Sheng.
He frowned one last time: "The two students who just came in, come on, stand up."
Pei Ling: "..."
He had no choice but to obediently take off his schoolbag and stand up.
Qin Sheng immediately stood up as instructed.
The professor was an elderly man, probably in his late sixties or early seventies, who had been rehired after retirement. His eyesight wasn't very good, and he couldn't remember the names of the two students for a moment when he looked at them through the top of his reading glasses.
Let's just stop calling it that.
He picked up the pointer and tapped it on the podium: "You two, come up here and write the answer to the question I just asked on the blackboard."
