Chapter 65
Qi Ying came home and started to find a new home for Ji Xiaorang without even doing her homework.
She bought a cage that was three times bigger than the one yesterday, laid out a new nest, put the roller and toys in it, and then carefully held Ji Xiaorang and put it in.
The little hamster seemed to like his new home very much. He jumped up and down in the cage, stepped on the wheel and pushed the ball, and had a lot of fun. Qi Ying lay on the table and looked at it, and thought of the pony that the general had given him before.
At that time, the nanny even laughed at the general, saying that the nobles in the capital only kept rare and precious Persian cats as pets, and no one would give pets or horses as gifts.
But Qi Ying still loved the foal very much. She set up a stable in her own yard, fed it grass and brushed its fur every day, and talked to it as if it could understand.
Later, the pony grew a little bigger and bent its front hooves obediently for her to climb on its back. She didn't dare to run far away, so she rode the pony around in the general's mansion and had a lot of fun.
Who says generals don't know how to give gifts? It's much more interesting than a Persian cat.
I just don't know what happened to the foal after she died.
The next day at school, during morning self-study, everyone was discussing the evening party that the school would organize for the May 4th Youth Day next month. Yue Li stood up her book and excitedly told her, "I heard that there will be a ceremony for students to join the league during the day. In response to national policies, this evening party will definitely be very grand."
As expected, as soon as the get out of class was over, class monitor Chen Mengjie took out the name list and asked everyone one by one: "Do you have any special skills? Can you play any musical instruments?"
When asked about the study committee member Huang Botong, he said: "My specialty is study."
Hearing this, the classmates around him wanted to beat him up.
Apart from sports, Yue Li is an activist in everything she does: "Squad leader! Me, me, me! I can play the recorder!"
Chen Mengjie nodded and wrote her name on it: "What songs can you play? Can you play pop songs? We can gather students who can play musical instruments together and play a pop song."
Yue Li said, "I will say Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Happy New Year."
Then Chen Mengjie crossed out her name without hesitation and asked Qi Ying, "Yingying, do you have any special skills? Forget about the recorder."
Qi Ying said softly, "Is the guqin okay?"
Chen Mengjie was pleasantly surprised: "Wow, you can play the guzheng? Not bad, not bad, very special, I'll write it down for you!"
Qi Ying corrected her: "It's not a guzheng, it's a guqin, they are different."
After entering the general's mansion, she lived in the courtyard for a long time. The general was often away on military campaigns. Fearing that she would be bored, he specially invited a zither player from the capital to teach her to play the zither. She studied with the player for two years. Although she was not outstanding, she could still handle some ordinary songs.
Chen Mengjie waved her hand nonchalantly: "Well, it's almost the same conception anyway, just wait! You've been reserved by me!"
After saying that, he continued to look for other classmates.
Yue Li looked at her with envy: "Yingying, you can also play the guqin? Guqin is hard to learn, right? Why don't you learn piano?"
Various activities always arouse students' interest more than studying. The topic of discussion in the school all day is the May 4th Party and the performances of each class. I heard that there will be a ranking for this performance, and the top three will get extra points.
The arts committee member of Class 9 had long given up hope on the group of bad boys in the back row of the classroom, but Ji Rang was too handsome, so he still wanted to approach him and say a few words if he had the chance.
She took the registration form and asked, "Student Ji Rang, do you have any special skills?"
Ji·Deadpan·Rang: “Fight.”
The cultural and arts committee member ran away crying.
When they went to the dessert shop to do their homework after school, Qi Ying did not avoid the topic. While taking the test paper out, she asked him, "Will you participate in the May Fourth Party this time?"
Ji Rang said, "I won't join in the fun. I still have a lot of papers to finish."
He looked up at the well-behaved girl opposite him, tightened his fingers, and then looked down at the chemistry test paper for the second year of high school in front of him. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he pushed the paper towards her and said in a deep voice: "Yingying, explain the question to me."
Qi Ying looked at him in surprise.
For so long, Ji Rang never asked her any questions about her studies.
It was as if if he didn't ask, he wouldn't be a poor student with terrible grades in her eyes.
He tried hard to maintain his image in front of her, and she never exposed it.
But today, Ji Rang suddenly threw away his image as an idol. He looked at her generously and showed her his shortcomings that he had been hiding all along: "These questions are so difficult, I don't know how to answer them."
Qi Ying blinked, realizing that he was not joking.
Although it was a little unbelievable, I was still very happy. I took his paper, looked down at it, and said softly, "Well, let me take a look. Let's start with the first big question, okay?"
Ji Rang smiled: "Okay."
She curled her eyes, stood up, walked to sit beside him, and took the blue whale pen to mark the paper: "Let's first look at the structural formula of acetic acid in this question."
He smelled a faint sweet fragrance on her.
The little girl's ears were delicate, fair and pink, and when she lowered her head, the graceful curves of her jaw and neck aroused his nerves again and again with the double temptation of sight and smell.
She held the pen and wrote the answer in that column: "So, the atomic group formed by b and c is the carboxyl group. Do you understand?"
Do you understand what I said?
His mind was full of her.
He knew that he couldn't let her explain the questions to him, because it would be impossible for him to focus on studying!
Ji Rang forced himself to look at the test paper on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
She smiled happily, "Well, let's move on to the second question."
It is a reward, but also a torture.
Finally, after finishing the entire paper, she looked up and asked him, "Any questions?"
Ji Rang's Adam's apple moved.
This is a big problem.
He lowered his head and smiled, his voice a little low: "No, Yingying explained it very well, I understood it all."
Her eyes sparkled.
He then said, "Can you give me tutoring every week? Help me get into college."
She was a little surprised, not because she didn't notice the boy showing weakness in front of her. In fact, he had always been very domineering and strong in front of her. Suddenly showing this side of her made her feel that she was extremely needed by him.
But the boy looked so serious. She looked at him for a while and smiled sweetly: "Okay."
Then Wu Rui lost his job.
Ji Rang also explained to him: "You will be a senior in high school soon. Your own homework is also very important. Don't waste your time on me and delay your studies."
Wu Rui: "You don't need to explain, I understand everything. I am just a victim of your love."
Ji Rang: “???”
What idol drama has the top student in the grade watched recently?
Qi Ying used to do homework and read books at home on weekends, but now she has to tutor Ji Rang, so the two of them simply meet up in a cafe to do their homework together. After all, they are in the same class for the three primary subjects, and the teacher assigns the same homework.
Ji Rang was extremely grateful that he had laid a solid foundation and would not ask the kinds of questions that made him look stupid when Wu Rui tutored him before.
Mathematics, which used to give him a headache, has now become a subject that drags down his grades. Instead, geography, which belongs to the liberal arts category, has become a new demon that torments him.
Qi Ying was not biased in any subject. She had really good grades. She was patient and serious when explaining the questions to him, unlike Wu Rui who was serious like a teacher. Whenever he said he didn't understand, she would tilt her head and reflect on herself: "Is the solution I explained too complicated? Then let's change to a simpler one. Let me think about it."
Ji Rang was almost killed by her cuteness.
I was just staring at the little girl's cute profile when someone sat down on the sofa opposite me and said with a smile, "Hey, two little friends, are you doing your homework?"
Ji Rang was stunned, "Why are you here?"
Chen Fengzhi took a sip of his coffee and said, "I just met a friend. What a coincidence. You are doing your homework here? Are you working so hard?" He extended his hand to Qi Ying. "Hello, little sister. I am Ji Rang's brother-in-law, Chen Fengzhi."
Ji Rang: “???”
Do you have any shame?
Qi Ying shyly touched his fingertips and whispered, "Hello, my name is Qi Ying."
Ji Rang didn't look very happy with him: "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, just get out of here. Don't disturb us from doing our homework."
Chen Fengzhi saw through him at a glance: "Little sister is doing homework, do you need me to point out what you are thinking about?"
Ji Rang wanted to beat him up, so he glared at him sinisterly and warned him not to talk nonsense.
Chen Fengzhi raised his hands in surrender, and did not continue the topic, nor did he leave. He was a psychologist, and was naturally very talkative, and he knew how to guide people to chat. Ordinary people would only feel comfortable talking to him, and would not notice that he was actually guiding them with skill.
After chatting about this and that for half an hour, Qi Ying got up to go to the bathroom.
Ji Rang asked him impatiently, "What on earth are you doing here? Did Ji Qian ask you to come?"
He smiled: "What a coincidence."
He happened to see the boy with the strongest psychological defenses and the most thorns he had ever dealt with, smiling gently and patiently at the little girl beside him.
Chen Fengzhi turned around with his coffee cup in his hand and suddenly asked, "The person you mentioned who committed suicide, is she the one?"
Ji Rang froze and said nothing.
He leaned back and said in a deep voice, "During the time I was chatting with her just now, I observed her carefully. Whether it was her expression or tone, or even her subtle movements and expressions, it was impossible to tell that this little girl was someone who had suffered severe psychological trauma or even had suicidal behavior."
Ji Rang moved his lips and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
Chen Fengzhi sighed: "Two possibilities. One, she has indeed recovered."
Ji Rang recalled the day when Qi Ying cried until she broke down, and interrupted him irritably: "Impossible!"
"Then there is only one possibility left. Her condition is more serious than we thought, so serious that even I can't see it." Seeing Ji Rang's increasingly gloomy expression, he spread his hands and said, "I'm not trying to scare you. Such a serious and extreme situation will cause a lot of continuous psychological problems, such as memory confusion, split personality, and even amnesia."
No one spoke for a moment.
Not far away, Qi Ying was walking back after using the toilet.
Ji Rang's throat tightened and he whispered, "What should I do?"
Chen Fengzhi smiled: "You should know. Find the source of your problem, face it, and solve it." He stood up with a coffee cup in hand, and said meaningfully: "If you want to help her, you have to get over it first."
How can you make her empathize with you when even you cannot understand sacrifice?
To save others, you must first save yourself.
