Ji Yanchen casually draped his arm across the back of the sofa behind Shi Miao, turned his head to look at the girl who was still playing, his eyes filled with a deep and unyielding tenderness, "Not finished playing yet?"
"Right away." Shi Miao lowered her eyes, her dark eyelashes thick and long.
Ji Yanchen tucked her loose hair behind her ear and said in a low, soothing tone, "No rush."
Just then, the phone rang. Shi Miao had just finished making the call and pressed the answer button.
"Miaomiao, you're amazing! You got a perfect score!" Gu Wanqing's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shi Miao was somewhat surprised to hear this. "Mom, how did you know?"
"Your mom is a music professor at Tsinghua University. Everyone at Tsinghua knows you got a perfect score. By the way, have you received the interview invitation yet?"
"I haven't looked at it yet, I'll take a look later."
"Okay, I'll be there for the interview too. I'll hang up now; your grandpa doesn't know yet, but I'll share this good news with him now!"
Shi Miao's eyes softened slightly, and she said gently, "Okay."
......
After hanging up the phone, Shi Miao opened a text message she hadn't checked in a long time.
Sure enough, there was a text message from Tsinghua University about an interview that had been sent ten minutes earlier.
"Have you decided what major to choose?" Ji Yanchen played with Shi Miao's hand, his clear eyes softened by a gentle light.
Shi Miao raised her head slightly, her eyes dark and bright. She lifted the corners of her eyes and said lazily, "Computer."
Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow. "I thought you would choose a medical field."
Shi Miao lowered her eyelashes slightly and said in a very soft voice, "Tsinghua University does not have a Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I am not interested in clinical medicine."
Ji Sinian came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks and called out, "Uncle, Sister Miao, dinner's ready!"
Ji Yanchen squeezed Shi Miao's hand, his thin lips curving slightly, "Let's go, Miao Shen."
Shi Miao's eyelids twitched, and she raised her hand to push him, her voice trailing off with a hint of a hook: "Let's go."
......
After finishing her meal, Shi Miao carried her schoolbag back to her room, picked up her pajamas, and prepared to take a shower.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. She put down her pajamas, walked to the table, picked up the phone, and glanced at the caller ID. It was Zhong Li.
She raised an eyebrow slightly and leaned casually against the table. "Hey, what's up?"
"Boss, this Qin Chu is too stubborn. He's half-dead and still won't talk."
Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. After a few seconds of silence, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Don't let him die. Release him after he's mostly recovered, and have someone keep an eye on him secretly afterwards."
"Okay, got it."
She had just hung up the phone when a message popped up on her screen.
I clicked on it, and it was a message from Gu Yunbai: 【Miaomiao, congratulations.】
A pair of jade-like fingers tapped the screen, replying: 【Thank you.】
She then turned off her phone and casually tossed it on the table, bent down to pick up her pajamas from the bed, and went to the bathroom.

"What are you doing sitting there daydreaming? Having a crush on someone?" Ye Chuan took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and tossed it to him.
Ji Sinian snapped out of his daze, reached out and took the money, then touched his burning ears. "I just ate too much and needed to rest, and that's why you're having romantic thoughts."
Ye Chuan clearly didn't believe him. His eyes were full of curiosity as he urged, "You're still lying to me? Tell me what happened!"
Ji Sinian coughed lightly, his eyes flashing slightly, "Um, please don't tell my uncle what I'm about to say."
"If you put it that way, I'm even more curious! Is there anything your uncle can't know?"
Ji Sinian gripped the mineral water bottle in his hand. "Anyway, you promise me you won't tell anyone!"
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly." Ye Chuan unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and took a sip of water.
Ji Sinian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "I think I like men..."
"What did you say?" Ye Chuan choked on a mouthful of water, coughed violently, and his eyes darted around wildly.
Ji Sinian scratched his head, his ears turning bright red, and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing."
Ye Chuan finally calmed down and screwed the bottle cap back on. "Wait, why did it suddenly bend?"
Ji Sinian muttered, "Damn it, how should I know?"
Who have you taken a fancy to?
"My deskmate."
Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "So your deskmate knows you like him?"
Ji Sinian rested his chin on his hand and said, "He probably doesn't know that he likes Sister Miao."
Ye Chuan's lips twitched slightly, completely speechless. "Dude, I'll give you a 6."
He stood up, patted Ji Sinian on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Keep it up, young man."
Ji Sinian: "......"

The following day, H City No. 1 Middle School.
Ji Sinian walked in through the back door with his hands in his pockets.
Looking up and seeing Lu Hansheng already there, her eyes brightened.
He strode to his seat, pulled out a chair, sat down, and turned to Lu Hansheng: "How did the exam go? What was your score?"
Lu Hansheng slowly turned the pages of the book in his hand and said calmly, "630."
Ji Sinian couldn't hide his joy, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Wow, that's great! So which major are you planning to apply for? With your grades, you can definitely choose anything!"
Lu Hansheng paused, pursed her lips, and turned her head slightly to look at him. "I don't know, I haven't decided yet. Do you know what major Shi Miao is applying for?"
Ji Sinian's brow twitched, and he pouted, "Damn it, what are you doing! Still not giving up! I'm not telling you."
Lu Hansheng turned his head indifferently, "Oh, I'll ask her myself later."
Ji Sinian's face darkened, and he reluctantly said, "She chose computer science."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave a faint "hmm".
......
When Shi Miao came in through the back door with her bag slung over one shoulder, Ji Sinian was lying on the table, lost in thought.
"What's wrong? You seem so absent-minded this morning." Shi Miao pulled out a chair, sat down, crossed her legs, and glanced at him.
Ji Sinian buried his head in his arms and mumbled, "Sigh, don't talk to me, I'm withdrawn."
Shi Miao raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, rested her chin on her pale hand, and gazed at him with her bright eyes, lazily asking, "You're not heartbroken, are you?"
Ji Sinian sat up straight, leaned back in his chair, and said weakly, "I've never been in a relationship!"
Shi Miao's eyes were filled with deep surprise. "So the school bully is this innocent?"
Ji Sinian coughed lightly, "Oh my sister, stop teasing me. The term 'school bully' is too embarrassing, damn it."
Shi Miao shrugged, took out his phone from his pocket, and started playing with it.
Ji Sinian leaned closer, glanced at Lu Hansheng out of the corner of his eye, and whispered, "Um, Sister Miao, are you really going to apply for computer science?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Miao looked up at him and said calmly, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ji Sinian: "It's nothing, I was just asking."
He sighed and continued, "Sigh, it's tough. You're all going to Tsinghua University."
Shi Miao, scrolling through her phone without looking up, said, "Then why don't you just apply to Tsinghua University too?"
Ji Sinian shook his head. "Damn, are you kidding me? Although my current grades are good enough to get into a top-tier university, Tsinghua University is still a long way off."
Shi Miao put down her phone, raised her hand to tidy her hair, and glanced at him lazily, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Ji Sinian scratched his head. "Sister Miao, can I really do this?"
Shi Miao crossed her arms and said casually, "Even if things don't go well, with the Ji family's strength, it's more than enough to pull some strings."
Ji Sinian's lips twitched slightly. "You're overthinking it. Our family never does such things. We go wherever we're supposed to go."
Shi Miao reached out and patted his shoulder, her voice low and soothing: "There are still three months left. Ask me if you don't understand anything."
Ji Sinian pursed his lips, his gaze gradually hardening, and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try!"
