Chapter 45
Qi Ying looked down at the award certificate she had drawn.
I never expected that this last little wish would be to make her not angry.
This person is really...
How unreasonable.
It was obviously him who avoided me first.
But there was nothing she could do. After all, she was a person who kept her promises. If she wasn't angry, then she wasn't angry anymore. Actually, after eating the box of strawberry pudding tonight, she wasn't that angry anymore.
So she took the certificate, pursed her lips and nodded at him.
The bunny ears on his head also swayed, so cute. Ji Rang couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch it.
Qi Ying took his hand away with a serious face. Although she was no longer angry, it did not mean that this matter could be let go. She took out her phone and typed to ask him: Why are you hiding from me?
Ji Rang stared at the glowing screen of his mobile phone, not knowing how to answer.
Why?
Because you're sinfully sweet.
But I don’t have good self-control.
Because once I get close to you, I want to hold you in my arms and kiss you hard.
But I really want to protect you. No one can touch you, not even myself.
After a long while, Ji Rang nonchalantly pinched her face and said, "Because I'm shy, I can't face you after kissing you, okay?"
Qi Ying's eyes widened with surprise. After she came to her senses, she lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly and typed: I promised you that I wouldn't tell anyone.
She added: Then I'll just pretend it never happened.
Ji Rang yelled at her: "No! You have to remember this!"
Qi Ying thought this person was so childish.
The bus slowly approached, and he reached out to take her schoolbag, in a good mood: "Let's go, brother will take you home."
Ever since he pretended to be Yue Li's brother in front of her mother last time, he seemed to be addicted to it and always called her brother every time he teased her.
Qi Ying found it a little funny and followed him into the car obediently.
Ji Rang was still haunted by the last time he got carsick. Fortunately, there were still many empty seats in the car at this time. The two of them went to the back seat and sat down. He opened the window so that fresh cold air could flow in and the smell would be less unpleasant.
The car drove through the long streets on a winter night. At every stop, people got on and off, some were office workers, some were couples, and some were elderly people. The various aspects of the world suddenly gave him a glimmer of hope for the distant future.
I couldn't help but wonder, many, many years later, would he still accompany her on the bus, pick her up from get off work, and take her home?
It shouldn't be possible. If he couldn't even afford a car, how could he have the nerve to pick her up from work???
Fuck the bus, he's getting carsick again.
He held his breath all the way to the platform near Qi Ying's home, and rushed down as soon as the train stopped. Fortunately, there was a beverage vending machine next to him, and he bought a bottle of water and drank it, which helped him to calm down a little. Qi Ying looked at him with a worried look on her face, and recalled the last time he suddenly got off the train halfway, and then she realized that he might be carsick.
She looked around and saw that the fruit shop on the street was about to close, so she quickly ran over and bought an orange.
Ji Rang was still leaning against the bus stop sign to relax when he suddenly smelled a faint orange scent. He tilted his head and saw Qi Ying peeling an orange. The fine orange-scented oil mist burst into the air, staining her fingers yellow.
Ji Rang waited to eat oranges.
After she peeled the orange, she handed the peel to him to smell, and then ate the orange herself.
Ji Rang: “…………”
She sent him a message while eating an orange: You can’t eat cold food if your stomach feels uncomfortable. You have to take a bus back soon. Orange peels can relieve the feeling of motion sickness. Just smell it more often.
Is this why you eat oranges and I smell the orange peels? ? ?
Ji Rang was almost mad.
He walked her all the way to the community gate, and the orange peel in his hand was crushed beyond recognition.
But it seems to be really useful.
When they stopped, Qi Ying took her schoolbag and put it on her back, waved to him, and mouthed: "Go home early."
He hummed, and when she turned around, he thought of something and pulled her bag strap again. Qi Ying turned around and saw that his expression was a little unnatural. He hesitated for a long time before whispering, "If I do well in this final exam, will you give me another certificate?"
The way he asked her for the certificate was like a child asking for candy.
Qi Ying felt so soft in her heart, she pursed her lips and nodded.
After a few light snowfalls and accompanied by freezing cold weather, the final exams finally arrived.
The head teachers of each class inevitably gave a lecture: "You must examine the questions carefully! You lost a lot of points because you didn't examine the questions carefully! Skip the questions you don't know how to do, don't waste time, and do all the questions you know how to do first. You must check after you finish! This is what I have reiterated again and again! Don't be timid, show some spirit! You all want to have a good New Year and not get beaten when you go home, right? Then do well in the exam!"
The examination began in full swing.
This was the first time in Ji Rang's history that he did not take the exam in the last-minute examination room.
There were more than 300 students in the middle section. Their academic performance was not that good, but most of them were honest and hardworking students. As soon as Ji Rang entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
They didn't dare to look at him openly, but they couldn't help being curious. After all, the school bully had jumped from the last to the same level as them, and there were constant rumors about him cheating.
Even the teacher can't control him. This guy is really amazing.
Ji Rang slammed the Chinese textbook in his hand onto the table with a clang, scaring the people around him.
He half-lifted his eyelids, casual and cold: "Am I good-looking?"
The surrounding gazes were quickly withdrawn.
When the teacher walked into the classroom with the test papers, she was surprised that the class was so quiet. She opened the test papers in front of the students and passed them to the students row by row when the bell rang.
The exam lasted two days.
After the exam, they had to make up for a week of classes before they could have a holiday. During this week, they basically just reviewed the papers after the results came out. As soon as they returned to the classroom, Qu Dazhuang asked him, "Brother Rang, do you want to check the answers?"
Ji Rang glanced at him and said, "Am I crazy if I compare answers with you?"
Qu Dazhuang said unconvincedly: "Don't look down on me! I just heard the study committee members discussing it, and my answers to several questions are the same as his! The first math question is equal to 0!"
Ji Rang's eye twitched, "Really?"
Qu Dazhuang: "Really? How much did you calculate?"
Ji Rang: “…1.”
Qu Dazhuang looked at him pitifully: "Then you are wrong."
The boss shut himself up: "Get lost, and don't talk to me anymore!"
Ji Rang thought he might be suffering from post-exam anxiety, otherwise why was it so hard to wait for the results after each exam? Especially after knowing that the first math problem was equal to 0, this kind of anxiety was driving him crazy.
He was in a bad mood the whole day, and when he was slowly packing his textbooks after school, Qi Ying was already running over to him with her schoolbag.
Seeing that he seemed a little unhappy, I wrote to him and asked: What's wrong? Are you too tired from the exam?
Ji Rang shook his head, cheered himself up and smiled at her: "I'm a little tired, it's okay."
Qu Dazhuang said rudely, "Brother Rang was so tired. When he found out that the answer to the first math problem was 0 instead of 1, it was doomed to a tragic ending."
Ji Rang picked up the book and threw it at him.
Qi Ying tilted her head curiously and wrote: No, the answer to the first question is 1.
Ji Rang: “!!!”
Qu Dazhuang: “???”
If you don’t believe it, look up and see who can escape the punishment of heaven!
Three days passed in a flash, and the scoreboard was posted on Thursday morning.
Ji Rang did not disappoint himself, he met Wu Rui's requirements, entered the top 300, ranked 280th. Qi Ying entered the top 10 in the grade, ranked ninth.
On the scoreboard, the distance between the two names has become much closer.
As soon as the get out of class was over, he went to Class 2 to find Qi Ying.
She was still eating snacks with Yue Li, and she ran out with her mouth puffed up. His eyes were full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is my certificate?"
Qi Yingying seemed to have just remembered something and was stunned for a moment. She quickly swallowed the snack in her mouth, pointed to the classroom, and signaled that she should go back and get it.
Ji Rang was rarely so happy: "Go ahead."
She turned around and ran back to the classroom, and came out after a while.
In his hand was a folded piece of paper.
I ran up to him, feeling a little guilty for some reason. I didn't dare look him in the eye and handed the thing to him with my head down.
Ji Rang took it and opened it.
It was the same certificate, even the fading and creases were exactly the same as the previous one.
However, in the sentence "In view of the outstanding performance of Ji Rang in the autumn sports meet and his win of first place" on the paper, the words "autumn sports meet" and "won first place" were crossed out with a black pen.
It was changed to "In view of the fact that Ji Rang performed well in the final exam of the first semester of his senior year and achieved a good score of 280th place."
There's even a Chinese language correction mark on it!
Ji Rang simply wanted to beat up the little thing in front of him.
"You're making use of the waste?!"
Qi Ying: “…………”
Oh, I was busy with my final exams and didn’t have time to pay attention.
Who knew you would come to ask for the certificate so soon? The results came out less than an hour ago, and she didn't have time to prepare at all!
