Thinking that his brother was waiting for him outside the government school, Shen Ci stuffed the small porcelain bottle into Ye Qingyue's hand.
【I have to go now. Please return it to me next time.】
After walking a few steps with the book box on his back, Shen Ci stopped again and gestured.
【Remember to wipe it.】
The breeze blew across the edge of the boy's green clothes and stroked his black hair, creating a unique landscape in Ye Qingyue's eyes.
Ye Qingyue clenched the small porcelain bottle in his hand, his palms ironing it, as if the warmth unique to a young man remained.
On the cold face, a faint smile appeared at the corner of the lips, and the teardrop mole under the eyebrows looked even more dazzling.
"Miss, Master Chen Ci treats you very well." Lianzi said at the right time, counting on his fingers, "Send medicine and cakes to Miss..."
Ye Qingyue opened the small porcelain bottle with her jade fingers, dipped her little finger in some ointment, and applied it on the bloodstain. It felt cold to the touch.
She seemed to understand something vaguely in her heart.

Ye Qingyue returned to the Ye family and went to the desk as usual. Her mother would check her homework there every day.
"Well, that's right. The provincial examination is in August, and it's May now. There aren't many chances left. You need to make sufficient preparations to take the top spot in the provincial examination and become the champion." Mother Ye closed the book, her eyes full of expectation and undignified attitude.
Ye Qingyue must become the top scorer.
"yes."
After getting Ye Qingyue's promise, Ye's mother nodded in satisfaction and mentioned another matter: "You will be coming of age next month. After you come of age, you will be an adult and it's time for you to marry a husband and have children."
Ye Qingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she was at a loss for a moment. At this moment, she barely thought and spoke a little anxiously: "Mother, I am devoted to my career and don't want to marry for the time being."
Ye's mother had no expression on her face. She glanced at her lightly and said indifferently, "It's a good thing to be interested in a career in politics. Marrying a husband is a lifelong event and cannot be neglected. The academy examination will begin soon. The person presiding over the examination this time is Cao Xuezheng. It is said that Cao Xuezheng's son is fifteen years old, talented and handsome, and is a rare candidate for a husband.
He will come to Tangzhou Prefecture with Cao Xuezheng. Mother will then arrange for you to meet him. You should understand what to do. Mother believes in you. A good husband will also help your career."
Ye Qingyue sat dejectedly on the chair. She didn't know when Ye's mother left, she only knew that she sat there in a daze for a long time.
She suddenly looked up and saw the scratch on her fingertip. After applying the ointment, the blood had long since stopped. The ointment was cold, mixed with a cool fragrance that seemed to still linger in her nostrils.
Ye Qingyue looked out the window and saw the bright sunlight. He sat there until it got dark, and his heart began to fall into coldness.

In June, the college entrance examination came.
Zhang Xiulin, who has become a student, needs to take part in this college entrance examination.
The college entrance examination lasts three days, and during these three days, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating all take place in the cell.
With the experience of county and prefectural examinations, they were not panicked at this moment.
The day before the exam, Zhao Chuchu gave Zhang Xiulin a coat that was sewn by Zhang Xiuyuan and then "processed and added materials" by her.
"This coat is soaked in medicinal herbs. Wearing it can refresh your mind and make your thinking clearer."
Zhang Xiulin took the coat with some doubt.
That day, she entered the examination room wearing her coat.
June should be hot, but it has been raining these days. The wet ground is the least of the problems.
After the rain, the heat dissipates and it becomes cool and refreshing, which is perfect for sleeping.
Outside the window, raindrops fell to the ground like beads with broken strings, creating splashes of water. The sound of rain was crisp and rhythmic, and the rain blurred the light between the sky and the earth.
