"I heard from the doctor at the veterinary clinic that the scenery in Dongjiao Mountain is beautiful, and many people used to come here to bury their pets. It was tacitly allowed."
The two of them worked together to dig a small hole, and Ziyi carried the dog in. She watched the soil bury the dog's body bit by bit until it formed a small mound. She wanted to cry again.
Qin Yuhuan stacked two stones on the mound to mark it, "This way you won't get lost."
However, there was no place to wash hands on the East Suburb Mountain. Qin Yuhuan resisted the urge to look at his hands and led Ziyi along as he walked quickly.
"Qin Yuhuan, you walk so fast."
"I want to find a place to wash my hands, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Qin Yuhuan couldn't bear to see the puppy suffer, so she endured her own obsession with cleanliness and dug the hole with her bare hands. But after the job was done, her obsession with cleanliness wouldn't allow her to stay covered in mud for even a second longer.
After hearing this, Ziyi took Qin Yuhuan's hand and walked very fast. When they washed their hands in the public restroom, Qin Yuhuan finally held onto the sink and said, "You are really fast. My legs are shaking."
Until now, she still couldn't recall how she got down the mountain. It seemed that Ziyi was dragging her down all the way.
"Then why didn't you remind me?"
"Because I find it easier to be dragged by you than to walk on my own."
Ziyi: ...
"Speaking of which, how do you know my name?"
Ziyi was quite surprised that he could match people and names so accurately. Licheng is not a very small city, and the small hill is quite a distance away from the school. It is strange that he could meet classmates in the pet clinic.
"The top scorer in the monthly exam is in the parallel class." Qin Yuhuan noticed that there was still some blood on Ziyi's face. She waved at her and said, "Hold down a little."
Ziyi bent down obediently. Qin Yuhuan dipped some water and wiped the blood off her face bit by bit. "It's still a little dirty here."
After that, she returned to the original topic, "The first place in the monthly exam is in the parallel class. Our class teacher scolded us badly. Your face is something everyone in our class will remember. The class teacher said that the first place in the next monthly exam must be in the experimental class, and I am his top pick."
The students in the experimental class were originally the elite class of the school, but they lost the title of first place, which had not happened for many years. The class teacher was so angry that he added two more papers to the homework assignment.
Ziyi couldn't help laughing. "Your class teacher is so serious, but why do you want me to bend down? Can't you just raise your hand to reach it?"
The height difference between her and Qin Yuhuan was not that big, the top of Qin Yuhuan's head was almost at the tip of her nose.
"If you bend down, it will be less tiring for me," Qin Yuhuan said, blushing. "Our class teacher thinks the teacher assigned too little homework, so we were placed in the experimental class after the placement test, and we've become less disciplined."
"Not really. Actually, they tested me during the class placement test..." Ziyi didn't know what was on her mind. "I lowered my score and left many questions unanswered. I purposely dropped to the parallel class."
Otherwise, she should be in Class 1 right now.
"Why?" Qin Yuhuan was puzzled. "The teachers in the experimental class seem to have the most teaching experience."
"My childhood friend couldn't get into the experimental class. I wanted to be in the same class with her, but she was ranked last in the entrance exam to No. 1 Middle School." Ziyi knew how capable Shen Zhiming was. After finishing the test, she calculated the approximate score and thought it was about right, so she stopped.
As long as her results in the class placement test are not too outstanding, her full score in the high school entrance examination can be weakened. In this way... the evaluation teacher will think that her high school entrance examination results are "exceptional" and will not force her to stay.
Since her scores fell into the same class as Shen Zhiming, Ziyu stepped in to put her in the same class so it would be easier.
"She's lazy. If I hadn't been there to watch over her, she might have ended up in the last exam room in high school. With me around, at least she can keep up with me and her score won't be too bad. If she doesn't know anything, I can help her with the rest."
Qin Yuhuan stared at Ziyi's face for a long time. There was always a sense of freedom and unrestrainedness on that face. She couldn't help but reach out to touch Ziyi's thick eyelashes. Ziyi was ticklish and blinked.
"Is it clean?"
"I've cleaned it, but my eyes are still swollen."
"It's okay, I'll just apply some compress when I get home, I'll get better quickly."
Ziyi was about to raise her hand to rub her eyes when Qin Yuhuan grabbed her wrist. She said with a hint of disapproval, "Don't rub them. They'll get redder."
On the way back, Ziyi stretched out her hand to Qin Yuhuan. Qin Yuhuan looked down at the slender, bony hand and didn't dare to look up and meet Ziyi's eyes for a long time.
Ziyi only heard the overly delicate-looking experimental class student in front of her whispering, "What do you want to do?"
"You've walked quite a distance carrying the puppy to help me. Let me carry it and take you home." Ziyi said, and was about to lift the schoolbag from Qin Yuhuan's shoulders. "It looks like it must weigh more than ten pounds. It's quite heavy to carry."
However, the puppy's illness has not yet recovered, and it is estimated that it can only walk a few steps if asked to do so.
Qin Yuhuan didn't move for a long time, letting Ziyi take her bag.
"What do you think I want to do?" Ziyi asked curiously.
Qin Yuhuan: ...
"nothing."
Ziyi uttered an "oh" but saw Qin Yuhuan's ears were red as if blood was about to drip out. "It's my fault for not helping you carry it earlier. Look at your ears, they're red from the heat."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
"Let's go." She walked very fast, and in a moment she had left Ziyi far behind.
Ziyi, carrying the puppy on her back, quickly followed her. "Come to think of it, I think I remembered your name. You came in second, right?"
Although many schools don't publish rankings nowadays, the top ten will still be slightly publicized. "No wonder you said you were a top candidate. I remember your grades. You got close to full marks in politics, history, and geography. That's impressive. If you were in the liberal arts class, you would probably become a genius in the liberal arts class."
Qin Yuhuan heard this and glanced at Ziyi, "Why is there only a liberal arts class?"
"Because you only got 50 points in math, and getting 50 points in math for a science class seems a bit difficult," Ziyi said truthfully. "Our teacher used your politics, history, and geography paper as a model. It's exactly the same as the standard answer, and even has fewer words. I like it."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
Ziyi discovered that Qin Yuhuan didn't seem to like talking much. He was quiet, well-behaved, and quite cute.
After sending him home, she returned the schoolbag to Qin Yuhuan and asked, "Are you taking the dog for injections tomorrow?"
"Yes, it takes seven days, and today is the fourth day." In front of the red brick house, Qin Yuhuan held the dog in his arms and thought for a long time before saying, "Ziyi, I will pass your test."
