After class, Cheng Yi finished her homework, put down her pen, and walked to He Jing's desk: "Sister He Jing, Dad is very sad that you won't go back."
He Jing was on duty, sketching and drawing. Hearing this sweet voice, she didn't even look up and said, "If you care about him, then show him more concern."
Cheng Yi couldn't wait to lower her head and bring her face close, trying to see He Jing's face.
She won.
To win completely.
She must look terrible right now.
Cheng Yi curled her red lips and said with feigned regret, "It's such a pity that Sister He Jing won't go back. Yesterday, Dad took me to a restaurant for steak because I saved someone. He said he was too busy before and had never taken you out to eat, and he regrets it..."
He Jing finally raised her head, her eyes unusually calm: "Really? Congratulations."
Cheng Yi blinked and smiled sweetly: "It's a really nice restaurant with music playing on stage. If Sister He Jing were here, she would definitely love it."
He Jing suddenly asked, "Do you know what wine goes with steak?"
Cheng Yi was taken aback.
Before she could answer, He Jing said leisurely, "I eat filet mignon with Lafite, sirloin with Maya, and T-bone with Mouton Rothschild. Steak is something I'm tired of eating. Do you think I'd care?"
Cheng Yi blushed instantly, then said angrily, "Of course, something as cheap as steak is not important. What's important is Dad's intention."
He Jing replied nonchalantly, "That's true, Uncle Cheng is always very busy."
Cheng Yi felt she regained her confidence and became proud again: "Dad will take me out to eat another day. I'll call Sister He Jing so that Dad can make up for the fatherly love he hasn't been able to give her all these years."
He Jing almost laughed. Cheng Yue couldn't give her the fatherly love, but He Jing's father would give her that in the future. Besides...
She didn't think that Cheng Yue's inability to take her out for steak meant he didn't love her. As an adult, she knew very well that adults have many things to do, and Cheng Yue's love had already deeply permeated their daily lives.
For example, no matter how late Cheng Yue gets home from work, he will patiently and meticulously check her homework.
For example, the amount of money in her card never stopped changing every day...
"Sure."
He Jing answered without hesitation.
Cheng Yi choked back a sob, feeling unwilling to accept it. She had clearly gained the upper hand this time, but why couldn't she feel satisfied? It was as if she had lost...
He Jing was too lazy to waste any more time on her and continued to work on her problems; Cheng Yi stood there for a while, unwilling to leave, her gaze falling on her workbook, and suddenly she smiled again.
She pretended to be extremely distressed and said, "I've done up to page 258 of this workbook, and the last big question is really difficult."
He Jing had only reached page 254, a full four pages behind Cheng Yi, but she didn't show the slightest displeasure. She simply said, "Is that so?" and then turned to page 258 to read the questions.
Cheng Yi leaned forward slightly and lowered her head a little more: "So it was true that Sister He Jing was afraid my grades would surpass yours. I'm already eighteenth in the class."
Eighteenth place is in the middle of the class, but it's much better than her previous bottom-ranked grades, and everyone in the class is surprised by her change.
Unlike before when she relied on cheating to become the top student in physics, this time her improvement is obvious to all.
"oh--"
He Jing slowly wrote down the solution to the last big question on page 258.
Cheng Yi was finally satisfied, convinced that He Jing's composure was all an act, and left happily.
...
In the afternoon, a light drizzle fell from the sky, and the wind blowing in from the window was particularly cool. The classroom air conditioner was turned off and the electric fan was turned on.
Yin Gao suddenly received an invitation from Qingyuan College of A University, specifically requesting He Jing to study there. The news caused a stir throughout Yin Gao.
The so-called Qingyuan is an independent department of A University, full of potential chemistry talents. It is headed by Bei Jing, a world-renowned professor of chemistry, who cultivates the students who enter Qingyuan.
It can be said that getting into Tsinghua University is equivalent to being admitted to A University without taking the entrance exam, which is equivalent to having a place in the field of chemistry in the future.
