Chapter 24

When Tao Luanxi returned home, Tao's father and mother were watching TV in the living room, and the silly girl was sleeping in the corner of the sofa.

Mother Tao was watching the soap opera with great interest while leaning on Father Tao who was about to fall asleep. When she heard the door open, she turned around and looked outside: "Xixi is back?"

"Yeah." Tao Luanxi responded, lowered his head feeling a little guilty, and quickly went upstairs.

After taking a shower, the messy smell on her body was washed away. Tao Luanxi came out of the bathroom while wiping her hair. She looked down and saw a piece of white paper sticking out of her trouser pocket. Tao Luanxi pulled it out and saw an Ace of Hearts.

Qiu Yi had the Jack of Hearts in his hand, which was his last four cards. The Ace of Hearts still couldn't be put together with the Jack of Hearts.

It was the hole card that Tao Luanxi had drawn in that round of the King's Game. He had accidentally put it into his pocket and brought it back. Tao Luanxi lowered his head and looked at it silently for a long time, then casually inserted the card into the scarf of the pig doll hanging on the curtain.

When I arrived at school on Monday, the basketball game trophies had already been sent to the trophy display cabinet in the Student Union Office. Shen Tan naturally knew about this matter. He took the initiative to bring up this matter at the class meeting and reluctantly praised several members of the basketball team in his class.

Several students immediately became unhappy, and started chattering about how hard and difficult their training was.

Shen Tan snorted and laughed: "It's not that I don't want to admit that you work hard, but since everyone will take the college entrance examination in two years, don't forget what your serious work is? Next month is the end of the semester, you guys should take care of yourselves. If anyone drags down our class by then, don't blame me. I will turn my back on you then."

The class suddenly fell silent after the call. No. 1 Middle School has always had monthly exams and weekly tests. Exams are nothing to students, but the final exams are always different. The scores have to be brought back to meet the parents, and the rankings will be displayed on red paper on the school bulletin board. If you don't do well in the exam, it is simply a naked public execution.

What Tao Luanxi hated most was the nature of No. 1 Middle School, where monthly exam results were displayed on the bulletin board at the bottom of each grade's teaching building, and midterm and final exam results were displayed on the bulletin board at the school gate, for fear that students would not know their own performance.

Tao Luanxi recalled the last time he had a midterm test. He had to go through the small gate for a month, and only dared to go through the main gate and past that damn bulletin board after the results were released a week later.

He really doesn't want to experience that feeling of being stripped and paraded through the streets again, so he will do his best to beat that Qiu Yi guy in the final exam!

Two weeks before the exam, the physical education class ended. Physical education results were scored separately from professional courses, but both had to be written into the transcript. After running a thousand meters, Tao Luanxi leaned on the protective net of the playground and panted for a long time. Tao Luanxi wiped the sweat from his face. Maybe he had been staying up too late recently, and getting up early every day to practice a thousand meters, so his body really couldn't take it.

After class in the afternoon, Tao Luanxi stood up and prepared to leave, but Qiu Yi stopped her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tao Luanxi was too tired to talk, so she said perfunctorily, "Something happened."

Qiu Yi looked at the other party's weak steps and narrowed his eyes in silence.

Tao Luanxi dragged his heavy feet to find the door to the Youth League branch's archive room. Fortunately, the key here has always been kept by Tao Luanxi, otherwise he would not be able to find a place to rest in peace for a while.

Tao Luanxi didn't care for a moment that no one had cleaned the place for a long time. He lay on the table, rested his forehead on his arm, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a short while.

I don't know how long it was, Tao Luanxi woke up with a light hum. He didn't sleep well. His arms were numb from being pressed, his neck was sore from being bent, and he knew there was a big red mark on his forehead without even looking. Occasionally, some classmates would sleep in the class and look like this when they woke up.

Tao Luanxi took a long breath, rubbed his face a few times, and muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, there is no one around."

A hesitant sigh came from the side, and Tao Luanxi immediately stiffened. He turned around abruptly and saw Qiu Yi staring at him with an ambiguous look.

"Why are you here?!"

"You didn't lock the door when you came in, so I followed you in."

Qiu Yi leaned against the wall next to Tao Luanxi, folded his arms and looked at him quietly.

Tao Luanxi had just woken up and was a little irritable. He propped his head up and said unhappily, "Can you let me be alone for a while?"

"You slept till now, did you hear me waking you up?" Qiu Yi pulled a stool and sat next to Tao Luanxi, and pushed the lunch box on the table in front of him: "Eat the food, I got it packed from Sister Xiangxiang."

Tao Luanxi was stunned: "You went to her place?"

"No, I called her to send it over. You're the only one who has that privilege. She never lets people pack up their stuff and take it away."

Tao Luanxi then realized that the lunch box he was taking away was a three-layer household lunch box with a robot cat printed on the blue plastic shell.

Seeing that Tao Luanxi didn't move for a long time, Qiu Yi reached out and opened the lunch box, and handed the white rice at the bottom to Tao Luanxi: "Eat it quickly, otherwise it will get cold soon."

Tao Luanxi had no appetite just now, but when he smelled the fragrance of the rice, he suddenly felt empty and uncomfortable in his stomach.

Perhaps it was because Qiu Yi's gaze was too strong, Tao Luanxi felt uneasy eating alone, so she asked, "Did you not eat either?"

Qiu Yi supported his head. Just after class, he saw Tao Luanxi hiding in the filing cabinet alone. He guessed that he was taking a break, so he called Mi Xiangxiang to ask him to help deliver food. When he went in, he saw that Tao Luanxi was still asleep and it was not easy to wake him up, so he just stood aside and waited quietly. He indeed hadn't eaten yet.

"Eat yours!"

Tao Luanxi pushed Mifan between the two of them: "Let's go together!"

Qiu Yi curled his lips and said, "It's just a pair of chopsticks. You feed me?"

Tao Luanxi picked up a large piece of rice and stuffed it into Qiu Yi's mouth, intending to block his mouth, but Qiu Yi followed suit and quickly opened his mouth to eat the rice, gently biting the chopsticks to prevent Tao Luanxi from leaving.

Tao Luanxi pulled back the chopsticks and placed them on the rice: "Eat it yourself!"

Qiu Yi took out a bottle of milk: "And this."

Tao Luanxi frowned and was about to say that he didn't like to drink it, but Qiu Yi interrupted him: "Drinking milk will make you taller."

“…”

Qiu Yi chewed his rice and asked: "Have you stayed up late to review again recently?"

Tao Luanxi froze: "How do you know?"

"That night on the subway, you pointed at my nose and told me that you must beat me in the next exam."

“…”

Drinking is a mistake. Drinking is a mistake. Drinking is a mistake. Tao Luanxi secretly swore that she would never touch this thing again!

"Can your body handle this?"

"I'm used to it," Tao Luanxi reluctantly put a straw into the milk. "It's always been like this before. How can I achieve perfection without trying my best?"

Tao Luanxi has always thought this way, that efforts should match results. Since he wants to be number one, he has to devote the corresponding time and experience. For a poor student like Qiu Yi, anyone who can always get number one is a heretic.

Thinking of this, Tao Luanxi glared at Qiu Yi silently again.

Heresy!

Qiu Yi pretended not to see it, and looked at Tao Luanxi with bright eyes, smiling: "I was outside when you had the physical today."

"oh."

"You know what? You look really good when you're serious. So good that I can't take my eyes off you."

For the physical education exam, the physical education class lined up in order and went to the playground to take the test. When the basketball class was taking the test, Qiu Yi's class happened to be outside the gymnasium.

Qiu Yi had not originally expected to meet Tao Luanxi here by chance, but when he casually glanced at the playground, he was attracted by Tao Luanxi's figure.

Tao Luanxi was pale, and the first among the dozen boys, which was particularly eye-catching. Her long legs bent rhythmically, switching positions back and forth, and the ups and downs of her running brought up her soft hair. Tao Luanxi slightly opened her thin lips to keep breathing, and her eyes looked straight ahead firmly.

Those deer-like eyes were so full of life. Qiu Yi recalled that when they first arrived at No. 1 Middle School, they had not spoken a few times. Whenever their eyes made contact, Tao Luanxi always smiled. Once their eyes misaligned, the other's eyes would pierce his back with anger. At that time, he vaguely knew that Tao Luanxi probably didn't like him.

Qiu Yi thought about it privately. The only thing that could be considered as a sin against Tao Luanxi was probably his grades. But even so, Qiu Yi didn't intend to let him go. If he blocked Tao Luanxi, he would look at him more. Qiu Yi felt that this deal was quite a good deal.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yi lowered his head and smiled. Tao Luanxi's face immediately sank: "What are you laughing at?"

Qiu Yi didn't respond, but turned around and asked, "How are you going to beat me?"

"I'll win you fair and square, and crush you with my achievements."

In fact, it doesn't have to be so complicated, Qiu Yi thought, you can do it with just a look.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded: "I'll wait for you to beat me."

To Tao Luanxi, these words were like a direct declaration of war. The burning ambition in his heart instantly overcame the slight discomfort in his body. When he finished his self-study and went home to prepare to stay up all night again, Tao Luanxi's cell phone rang.

[Qiu/poop: What are you going to do tonight? ]

Tao Luanxi originally had no intention of paying attention to him, but the other party seemed to see through his thoughts and sent several messages in a row.

[The 100 questions that the physics teacher printed last month are quite interesting and worth doing. ]

【No interest in English】

【Chemistry I don’t want to watch】

[Mathematics... I forgot to bring my test paper back. I have to hand it in tomorrow. How about lending it to me to copy? ]

Tao Luanxi listened to the ding-dong sound of her cell phone and replied irritably, "Are you annoyed?"

The other party finally quieted down. Tao Luanxi turned around to look at the test paper, and his phone was on, waiting for him to automatically lock the screen. Just before it was about to lock, a new message popped up.
