Chapter 51: A Thrilling Group Photo. Yu Han has only one choice. ...
The next day, it rained continuously from early morning, and there were many late students in the morning reading classroom.
Normally, schools don’t enforce morning reading in this kind of weather.
However, the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, patrolled outside the classroom three times early in the morning and found that a seat at the innermost part was always empty. It didn't look like they were late, but it looked like they really weren't coming.
As morning reading was coming to an end, the head teacher frowned and was about to make a phone call when a call from abroad came in on his mobile phone.
——Calling from Singapore.
Over the years, only two of his students' parents were in Singapore, a brother and sister.
Thunder and lightning roared in the corridor. The head teacher walked towards the office holding the phone while answering the call and asked tentatively, "Hello."
"Hello, is this Teacher Zhan? I'm Qin Yi's father, Dong Shuqing."
"Oh, oh, Qin Yi's father." "Yes."
The middle-aged man's clear and mellow voice was like a magic needle in a thunderstorm, calming the head teacher's uneasy heart all morning.
"It's like this," Dong Shuqing said on the phone. "Qin Yi has something going on lately and can't come to school. I'm here to ask for leave for him."
"Oh, I heard him say last night that his sister had an accident and needed his care." I didn't expect that there would really be a call asking for leave. I thought that guy was lying.
He asked with concern: "His sister was seriously injured, right?"
"Oh, that's right. She was in a car accident and broke a bone..." Dong Shuqing replied awkwardly, "It's my niece who lives in Singapore. The child went to Lan City to see a doctor these past two days and stayed there. The adults at home are busy, so I wanted Qin Yi to take care of her."
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay as long as I have your phone number," the head teacher said with a proud smile, "I was afraid he might lie to me last night, so I had to make sure he talked to his parents. If they tell me, it must be true."
"..." Dong Shuqing was embarrassed, "This kid is always troublesome and has caused you trouble."
"No, no, don't say that. It's easier to worry about Qin Yi without him. He can leave at any time because he doesn't have any academic requirements. That's earned by his ability. Just call to ask for leave. It's no problem. I have nothing to worry about now that I know the situation."
"That's great. I won't bother you if you're busy."
"Yeah, okay. I also hope that sister Qin Yi will recover soon."
“…”
Dong Shuqing hung up the phone and called his son, saying bluntly, "Look, you lied to your class teacher, and he still said this to you. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Why am I in pain?" Qin Yi was still sleeping. "My daughter Hanhan's broken hand hasn't healed yet, Dad. You know I'm going to Singapore to visit her in August."
"..." He took a deep breath, "Give me back my Han... You really are such a well-behaved kid. I never had to worry about you since you were little."
Qin Yi: "I promise that apart from today, there is nothing else for you to worry about. I really can't help you today, Dad. She was hospitalized for more than ten days before she was out of danger. Everything I said was true. I didn't lie to my head teacher."
“…”
Dong Shuqing said, "No lie, haha. Do I have a niece? You are simply making it up."
Qin Yi: "She is Singaporean, the same nationality as you. It wouldn't be a big deal if you could do me a favor and recognize her as your niece."
“…”
Dong Shuqing hung up the phone and didn't talk to him anymore.
Qin Yi glanced out the window and it looked like it would be a bad day to go out and play today.
…
As soon as Yu Han woke up in the morning, she asked Qin Yi if he had gone to school. Since the weather was bad, he should go to school instead of wasting time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Yi woke up from a nap and replied to her message: "I didn't go to school. Are you awake, Hanhan? Do you want to have breakfast?"
"Not yet." His appetite had decreased in this weather, and since he wasn't going out, he wouldn't be wasting his energy. "Forget it, I'll have lunch later."
"Let's eat together. Let's go out and play in the afternoon."
"Isn't that too much trouble? It takes me at least half an hour to get to Lanbei from the city. You can eat first. You can eat at home."
"I'm not at home. I'm in the city."
"Huh? You're out so early?"
"I didn't go home last night. I stayed in the city. We have a house in the city."
"Ah, really?"
Yu Han recalled that he had said before that he lived with his grandparents and didn't have much money, and that he relied on his competition prize money to travel.
However, he used to go to Singapore for Chinese New Year because his family worked there...
And now, I still have a house in the city... In an international metropolis like Lanzhou, houses in the city are very expensive.
And she suddenly realized that he was the one who paid for all the food, drinks and entertainment during the days she returned to China... Someone scanned the code to pay the bill without hesitation.
Maybe it was because he always sent her gifts before, which made her subconsciously think that he was rich, so these days she actually tacitly accepted that he covered all her expenses.
So...his family is actually very rich, right?
Yu Han couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, which neighborhood is your house in? I'll come find you."
When Qin Yi saw her say "Excuse me", he knew that something was wrong.
Holding back his laughter, he replied, "Yes, in the same neighborhood as you."
"What??????"
“…”
"Qin Yi, you're going to die!!"
“…”
Nanwan No. 1 is one of the best residential communities in Lan City. It mainly consists of large flats with an area of more than 500 square meters. The housing prices can be described in one word: expensive.
While speaking, Qin Yi was actually almost downstairs to her building.
He bravely went to his death and sent a message: "I'm downstairs at your building, Hanhan. Come down."
“…”
Yu Han hadn't even gotten out of bed yet, and seeing this line of words was a shock. She came to her senses and jumped up, rushing to wash up, making the call while busy.
When the call was connected, she said, "Wuwu, I was just lying in bed, wait a few minutes."
"No rush. Take your time. I'll order takeout."
"Ohhh, okay."
She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then went out to change her clothes. After that, she stuffed all the exercise books, computer and other things piled up at the bedside into her small schoolbag, then rushed out and ran downstairs.
I never thought I would see him less than half an hour after waking up.
In the few seconds of going downstairs in the elevator, Yu Han saw a smile on her rosy face in the mirror.
Although the weather is bad, the mood is very good.
She walked quickly out of the elevator.
In the blink of an eye, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the corner of my eye.
She tilted her head to look.
On the white sofa in the entrance hall, a young man in black was lying leisurely on the back of the chair with his legs crossed, typing on his mobile phone.
The empty hall was filled only by the cold sound of falling rain. In the elegant and quiet environment, the young man did not make a single sound.
Yu Han felt that when he sat there, he was like a magazine, motionless, with his head slightly tilted, very lazy. His posture, temperament and appearance made him a natural-born superstar. Not to mention anything else, at least he was a real superstar in the entertainment industry.
The white of the sofa forms a particularly sharp contrast with his black clothes, which is particularly eye-catching.
When I think about the fact that this guy has graduated and people in the exhibition will basically not see him starting today, I feel sorry for the people in his school.
He came to be her own big shot, it was really a sin.
While reflecting on herself, Yu Han raised the corners of her mouth.
She approached.
Hearing the footsteps, the boy turned his head and glanced over.
It was clearly a rainy day, but the moment he looked over the city, the sky was clear.
Although they were more than ten meters apart, Yu Han could not help but keep the corners of her mouth raised. The moment they looked at each other, she had completely forgotten what she had said a second ago about wanting to beat him to death.
As for classmate Qin, she had already stood up swiftly while she was indulging in male beauty, picked up an umbrella and strode towards her.
As he took a few steps towards her, Yu Han's eyes scanned his entire body for a few seconds.
When he walked up to her and took her small schoolbag, her sanity returned and she felt as clear-headed as if she had been drenched by rain.
She suddenly pointed at him and said, "Didn't you say your family is poor? Did you pick up these luxury brand shoes on the street?"
Qin Yi: "..." A slight arc appeared at the corner of his eyes.
Yu Han was furious at his expression and pointed at his clothes with her index finger, "Your coat is so expensive! I rarely buy this brand! I thought I was so extravagant, but you robbed me."
Qin Yi: “…” He laughed.
Yu Han finally couldn't help but hit him.
The boy held her hand. She had hit her right hand. "Be careful, don't hurt..." He choked halfway through his words. Realizing that she didn't feel any pain, he swallowed his words for the umpteenth time.
Yu Han puffed out her cheeks because of his concern.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He stroked her forearm gently. He couldn't feel it accurately through her clothes, but he was very worried.
"fine."
Qin Yi nodded, finally feeling relieved. He held her in his arms and walked out, opening his umbrella and heading towards his building.
"Have you asked for leave?" When Yu Han saw the weather, she remembered that she had originally wanted him to go to class.
"Please."
"Does your family agree?" She was quite surprised that he actually got the invitation.
Qin Yi casually omitted the details of last night and the incident that nearly got him beaten this morning, only stating the ending: "I agreed. I asked my dad to treat me. He called me before 8 this morning and said he had already told my homeroom teacher."
"That's good, very good." Her voice was filled with joy.
The drizzle of rain hit the umbrella, dripping into her ears, a very pleasant sound. The sky was cold, the clouds were gray, and the streets of the community were deserted, but Yu Han found this moment very romantic for no reason and snuggled into the arms of the person next to her.
Qin Yi thought she was cold, so he hugged her tighter.
Yu Han just smiled and said nothing.
It was warm once she entered the apartment building, but when she entered the elevator, Yu Han realized something. Was she... was she coming to his house?
The elevator stopped on the 26th floor.
As the door opened, a dark and imposing entrance hall came into view. It was no different from the door in her home, even the layout and direction were the same, but Yu Han stopped and did not go out.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yi held the dripping umbrella in one hand and her schoolbag in the other, looking at the motionless little princess curiously.
"You, is there anyone at home?"
"No, my grandparents live in North Lanang, and my parents are in Singapore."
"Where's your sister?"
"Sister, one settled in Taipei, and the other one, the one you met, is my cousin. She went to study in the United States."
Yu Han pursed her lips and muttered softly: "But why did I suddenly come to your house?"
Qin Yi laughed, then he understood why she suddenly had so many questions.
Yu Han was so shy that she took two steps back.
Seeing this, Qin Yi got out of the elevator first, took the umbrella to the door and hung it to drain, opened the door, put the schoolbag on the cabinet in the entrance hall, and then came back to hug the person out.
"It's not a good time to go out and play today. We can eat and study at home."
"Not really, okay."
"It should be possible."
“…”
Yu Han walked to the gate and peeked through the entrance. Seeing that it was indeed quiet inside and didn't look like anyone was living there, she became bolder.
Qin Yi took out a pair of slippers for her to wear, put her schoolbag in the living room, and asked her to sit for a while.
He picked up the phone and answered it.
In the blink of an eye, he walked to the door to receive the breakfast brought by the housekeeper, and then went back to lead the little princess to the restaurant for dinner.
The rain was getting heavier during the meal, covering the sky so much that I couldn't even see how low the clouds were. There was no way I could go out today.
After dinner, Yu Han was doing homework and studying in the tea room, while Qin Yi was playing games on the side with his mobile phone. After playing a game, he would take a half-hour break. What did he do during that half-hour? He took a pen and wrote the answers and analysis notes of the difficult questions for the little princess, reminding her where she made mistakes in the current questions while writing.
Yu Han has been worshipping him completely these past few days. She thinks that if he had studied mathematics instead of medicine, he would definitely be a top-notch genius in this field. He is really amazing.
She felt that she had made great progress in just three or two days.
"If I finish all the questions today and get them all correct, then won't I have made progress?" Yu Han said.
Qin Yi: "That's a lot of progress."
She suddenly felt happy and moved closer to him.
Qin Yi circled the pen in his hand, put it down, put his hand on her waist, and put his other hand under her knees, holding her in his arms and sitting her down.
Yu Han felt shy for a moment. She looked at her thin legs resting on his long legs, and then looked around at the unfamiliar environment. She always felt that his family members would come out in the next second.
She wanted to leave and sit down to do her homework, but there was a sudden thunder outside the window, and she could even see the lightning surging in the clouds.
Suddenly she shrank back into Qin Yi's arms.
Qin Yi hugged her tightly, his broad shoulders supporting her small body from head to toe. "Don't be afraid."
He held her tightly, took the test paper and asked her to explain it to him.
Yu Han made a mistake the moment she opened her mouth. She calmed herself down and tried to be more serious, but within a few words she made another mistake, a mistake so utterly wrong it was like saying two plus three equals four.
Qin Yi smiled.
Yu Han collapsed, mortified. "I'll be distracted. I'll sit by myself."
In his arms, my grades plummeted and it was impossible for me to get any questions right.
Qin Yi also knew that this posture was still too advanced for the two of them during this kind of learning, so he reluctantly put her down and sat down himself.
He used the remote control to draw the curved curtains of the tea room and turned on the lights, so that the noise outside would be quieter and he would not be scared by the lightning.
He continued to accompany her on one side.
At first they didn't think the rain would last all day, so they ate all three meals together.
In the evening, Qin Yi braved the rain and held an umbrella to send Yu Han home.
Fortunately, there was no surveillance at home, otherwise his stepfather would have known that he had been playing with someone at home all day, kissing and hugging her countless times, from the tea room to the living room, and then to the floor-to-ceiling window, where he hugged her from behind and watched the rain for a long time.
I never thought that this rain would last for three days.
Yu Han started to worry about whether she could go out to see the concert this weekend. She had been looking forward to it for so long, and if she could only do homework at home on the weekend, she would be depressed.
Fortunately, the rain stopped on Friday.
The Saturday morning was already sunny and bright, just like the bright and beautiful spring in March, except that the air turned to ice when you exhaled.
As we step into December, the weather seems to stop pretending and becomes cold all the time.
However, according to the weather forecast, the weather in Xicheng, where the concert was held, was also good. Yu Han was very happy. After having lunch with Qin Yi on Saturday, she took a taxi to Xicheng.
After arriving, we first took a tour around the city, had a special dinner in the evening, and then happily went to see the concert.
Yu Han doesn't have many fans, just one singer and one actor. Actors are easy to follow, as Jin Wei has a movie released every year. But singers are much harder, as Wei's tour only happens once every few years, and no one knows when the next one will be.
Today's concert was only held in three cities, and she asked several classmates to help her get tickets.
They sat in two seats near the inner field, which Yu Han thought had the best view.
Before the show started, she was bored and asked Qin Yi, "Do you know this singer?"
"I know." She was her sister's good friend, who was also from Lanshi, and there were photos of them at home.
Yu Han: "Then you should have heard her songs, right?"
"I've heard of it, but I'm not a fan."
"That's good, that's good. I heard that sitting here won't be boring."
"It's not boring even if you haven't heard it. I'm here to keep you company. I won't be bored when you're around."
Yu Han was so happy that before the concert started, she took out her phone to take a photo of the two of them.
"We haven't taken a photo together yet, let me change the wallpaper."
Qin Yi doesn’t like taking photos, but because he has two older sisters, he was forced to take a lot of photos since he was a child.
For some reason, while the little princess was adjusting the filter parameters with her mobile phone, he was already thinking about which angle would be best for the view.
There were too many people around, so I really had to find the right angle to take pictures.
When Yu Han raised her hand, she felt that the selfie was not complete. When she was wondering what to do, Qin Yi said, "Find someone to help."
"Ah, yes."
She turned her head, looked around, and began to look for help.
There were a lot of people taking photos nearby, and everyone took the opportunity to record everything before they started. Yu Han saw a girl looking at them and took the opportunity to ask her if she could help take a couple of photos.
"Oh, okay, okay." The girl had beautiful side ponytails, wore a red princess dress, and was holding a camera. It was obvious that she knew how to take pictures.
After handing over the phone, Yu Han happily leaned towards Qin Yi.
He naturally put his hand on her shoulder and held her in his arms.
Yu Han smiled shyly, snapped a picture, and turned to look at him, "I was thinking of posting it on social media, but I can't do it with this photo."
Qin Yi knew that many of her classmates followed her on Instagram, so she couldn't post everything.
Yu Han had already said to the girl taking the photo, "Could you please take another photo for me?"
"Okay, I don't mind taking as many pictures as you want. You're so beautiful."
Yu Han smiled sweetly and immediately sat down properly.
Qin Yi was well behaved at this moment, and just put his hand lightly on the back of the chair behind her, with just the right amount of intimacy without being overly ambiguous.
The other party gave an OK sign, and Yu Han immediately answered the phone: "Thank you, classmate, thank you so much."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." She handed the phone back to her, her eyes wandering over Qin Yi.
Qin Yi noticed it and glanced at the other person.
Yu Han opened the photo album and wanted to ask him to look at it together. When she looked up, she found that he and the other person were looking at each other without blinking. Moreover, under her gaze, they stared at each other for about three seconds.
Yu Han was bewildered, with a strange feeling already spreading in her heart. She pursed her lips and coughed lightly.
Qin Yi turned around and his eyes met hers.
Yu Han tried to calmly ask him, "What's wrong?"
Before he could say anything, the girl who took the photo of her smiled and said, "I'm Zhuang Min."
Qin Yi suddenly turned around to look at the other person.
Yu Han looked at him blankly, extremely confused: Who is Zhuang Min?
The girl exchanged glances with Yu Han, and knowing she didn't understand, she blurted out naturally, "I'm from Lanzhong, in the same class as him."
Yu Han: “…” She opened her mouth in surprise.
The girl's eyes were filled with ambiguity and she looked between the two of them: "I'm the class monitor, our seats are nearby."
Yu Han: “…” I feel like dying. My heart has stopped beating. How could this happen?
At this moment, the entire stadium's clamor had been automatically blocked out, unable to intrude at all. After Zhuang finished explaining, his gaze finally settled squarely on Qin Yi. He jokingly said, "I heard from the teacher that you took a long vacation because of family matters. I also heard from Chen Ze that your sister seemed to be ill, so it was inconvenient for you to go to class. And so..."
She laughed and glanced at Yu Han with a playful look, the meaning was self-evident: this is your sick sister.
Qin Yi didn't recognize her at first. It might be because she was not wearing her school uniform or her daily hairstyle when she was outside, and she was also wearing makeup.
If you recognize it...
Of course, even if I recognized him, I couldn’t change seats, so I definitely wouldn’t ask him for help.
I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Yu Han recalled the day she met him at the entrance of Starbucks with two classmates, a boy and a girl, one of whom he said was the class monitor.
Ahhh, she was almost scared to death. She looked at Qin Yi and then at the other person, and immediately pretended to say, "This, this is my brother."
The girl laughed and said, "I don't believe it. I've seen you two for quite a while. When you came in from outside, you were holding hands, hugging or embracing each other, very intimate."
Yu Han: “…”
She was filled with remorse, and after failing to deceive him, she began to beg him: "Wow, classmate, you won't go and tell your teacher about this, will you? You must not."
The girl had been smiling the entire time, but upon hearing this, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, how could that be?" She pointed at Qin Yi and said, "We have no grudges against each other, and I don't want to offend anyone."
As she said that, she waved and went back to sit in a nearby seat.
Yu Han took a deep breath.
Qin Yi hugged her and looked at the photos as if nothing had happened.
Yu Han was terrified and sat up straight, "No, no, we can't be that close."
Qin Yi smiled and comforted her: "She already knows and won't tell anyone. It's okay."
"Really? I'm so worried. If your homeroom teacher knew that everything you said recently was a lie, I think he would definitely scold you, and then you wouldn't even be able to take a leave next year."
Qin Yi wasn't worried at all. He took her in his arms and continued to comfort her: "No, I just didn't recognize you. I just felt that you looked familiar. Our class monitor is a good person. She has asked me many questions before. If she has any conscience, she should think she is blind."
“…”
Yu Han almost died of laughter, raising her eyelids to look at him: "Really?"
