As expected, Jiang Mingqin’s college entrance examination did not go well.
In the week leading up to the college entrance exam, every household held its breath, afraid to disturb the young examinees burning the midnight oil. Chicken soup and nutritional supplements were generously provided, and even if someone made a mistake, they temporarily confiscated the bamboo switch without making a fuss.1basically no a** whooping
Zheng Jiangning was locked in his room, with the desk lamp casting a pale light on his face and his eyes tired and bruised. He muttered to himself, “I love studying. Studying makes me happy. I won’t allow myself to stop studying. If you don’t let me study, it’s better to let me die. Only studying is the safest and most profitable investment in the world…”
Zheng’s father couldn’t bear to watch anymore. After checking that his son didn’t have a fever, he said, “Son, how about playing with your phone for a while? I absolutely won’t disturb you this time.”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jiangning firmly refused, staring with bleary eyes and shouting, “Dad, if you keep blocking me from studying like this, I’ll get angry!”
“Okay, okay, Dad won’t disturb you.” Zheng’s father nodded and left, bowing. During the college entrance exam, examinees were like little emperors who needed to be pampered.
A similar scene didn’t happen in the Yin household. Yin Minglu ate and drank as usual, commuted between his company and school, and acted as if nothing special was happening. He even joked with his fans, suggesting that after the college entrance exam, he could start a business to check exam results for those candidates with weak hearts who might faint at any moment. He humorously said that he would charge five yuan for checking the scores, and ten yuan for delivering the results in a sweet broadcasting voice. He added that after delivering the results, he would listen to you cry for thirty minutes for thirty yuan.
Look at how cleverly he played his cards. The whole internet was calling him a genius.
Besides his fans, many passersby also liked Yin Minglu because his Weibo was always filled with sunshine, devoid of any negativity. Coming to his page would provide a moment of relaxation.
Chu Run was no exception. He carefully looked at the young man in front of him, smiling as he gazed at his face. The encounter from fourteen years ago still appeared vividly in his mind. The child who once emptied his family’s refrigerator had grown up, and the chubby baby cheeks on his white and tender face had disappeared.
However, he had grown in Chu Run’s heart, as if he had developed according to Chu Run’s preferences. If there were any changes, even a slight one, it wouldn’t be the face that had captured his heart.2means that Minglu’s face is not the only thing that attracts Chu Run anymore
Chu Run took off his coat and draped it over the young man’s shoulders. The young man, eating noodles, suddenly felt moved. “Teacher Chu, you’re so kind!” Not only did he wish him success in the college entrance examination, but he also worried about him getting cold in the air-conditioned room. He truly lived up to being a high-quality idol, displaying such care, which was especially touching in these small gestures.
In fact, these gestures were quite biased. If his good friend Zheng Jiangning made noodles for him, the young man would probably take it for granted and even find it annoying. But when Chu Run went into the kitchen for him, the young man was extremely moved and would express his admiration, saying, “Male God, please don’t tire yourself out.”
The bright and sparkling eyes were very cute. Chu Run smiled slightly and, like an elder, gently hooked his neck, slightly raising the corner of his mouth. He whispered, “You’re really beautiful.” My adorable little fan. His voice was sexy and husky, just 0.01 centimeters away from kissing that delicate face.
The young man gazed at Chu Run with fascination, his slightly reddened lips and his enticing smiling eyes, and he unconsciously said, “You’re very beautiful too.”
Oh no, he actually wanted to kiss him.
Both of them were immersed in an indescribable filter, and the more they looked at each other, the more they thought, “How can there be such a good-looking and perfect person in this world?”
As time passed, Chu Run paused, glanced at his phone, and cleared his throat. “It’s getting late; I’ll take you back.” In recent years, he had always maintained a distance from his fan, afraid of getting too close. He didn’t want the young man to be shocked when he realized Chu Run’s true feelings. “I idolize you, and you actually want to sleep with me!”
Now it seems that the young man doesn’t mind him, which is considered a significant improvement. Mature men are the most patient; when they encounter someone they like, they won’t hesitate to invest their time and energy, gently weaving a web of emotions. They wait for the other person to gradually fall into it, and only when the other person comes to their senses do they realize they’ve already been ensnared.
When the young man returned home, he found that all the lights were on, causing his cheerful footsteps to slow down.
He calmly opened the door, stepped on the carpet, changed his shoes, and then he saw the tall figure of Yin Yunqiu standing in the living room. His face was very cold, and his eyes held a hint of interrogation, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. This made Yin Minglu suddenly feel a bit guilty.
His shoes seemed to be glued to his feet, and he thought to himself, “Did I buy these shoes too small?”
Seeing his son’s reaction, Yin Yunqiu became even more convinced of his suspicions. He said coldly, “Where did you go? I heard from your company’s assistant that you got off work early.”
The young man didn’t dare to speak and continued to struggle with his shoes. His face seemed to be admiring his own shoes, as if they were exceptionally good-looking. He even counted how many lace holes they had and wondered how much they cost. But in his mind, he was thinking about which assistant had informed his dad. Was it Xiao Wang or Xiao Li?
“Do you forget what time the curfew is in our house?”
The young man had just successfully taken off one shoe when he heard this, and he was suddenly confused: When did our house have a curfew?
“From now on, you must be home by 9:30 PM, and you are not allowed to associate with shady people.” This included both men and women. His young son was only a few months away from adulthood, and his heart was already starting to wander. How could he feel at ease?
Sensing the suppressed anger in his father’s voice, the young man obediently nodded and waited until it seemed like there was no further reaction before sneakily raising his dark, delicate eyes to steal a glance at him.
The innocent and obedient look in his eyes instantly softened Yin Yunqiu’s anger about his son’s puppy love. He looked at his son, who was still clumsy in taking off his shoes, and all his anger turned into deep helplessness. After all, he was just a child.
“Quickly change your shoes, I’ve made some noodles for you.”
It was a tradition here to prepare a bowl of “top scorer” noodles for the examinee. In reality, Yin Yunqiu wasn’t superstitious, but when he heard that his employees were all preparing it for their children, he had an idea and entered the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles himself.
Noodles again?
The young man had a mournful expression as he touched his round belly, even though he didn’t really enjoy eating.
“Did you eat somewhere else?” Yin Yunqiu noticed the subtle expressions on the young man’s face and coldly questioned him. Thinking about the assistant’s message, his narrow eyes squinted keenly, revealing a hint of danger.
“No, no,” the young man quickly shook his head, kicked off his shoes in a few swift motions, fearing that his extremely intelligent father might figure something out, and rushed over to the dining table.
Originally, he had nothing to feel guilty about, but for some reason, when Yin Yunqiu asked a few more questions, he became incredibly guilty.
That night, after eating two servings of ramen, the young man cried and rolled around in bed.
Soon, the college entrance examination was approaching, and just before the exam, an interesting incident occurred.
It was said that Yin Minglu lost his math textbook and couldn’t find it despite searching for a long time. Initially, everyone suspected it was the work of a competitor. However, the next day, the math textbook mysteriously reappeared, and the math teacher even called out the young man’s name, knocking on the lectern, and warning him not to get distracted by romance.
Yin Minglu was shocked and wondered why everyone thought he was in a romantic relationship.
Later, it was revealed that someone wanted to confess their feelings to him before the college entrance exam. However, they didn’t know his phone number, so they took his math book, thinking that a string of numbers on the front page was his phone number. As a result, the confession call was received by the middle-aged math teacher with a bald spot on his head.
Upon learning that they had dialed the wrong number, the girl on the other end burst into tears.
That night, the math teacher was still marveling at how youth had its charm. The appearance of a charming young man in the class had its impact on the girls, and it was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing for them.
Naturally, it was a good thing because the outstanding young man raised their standards and intelligence when it came to choosing a partner in the future. However, the downside was that during adolescence, who could avoid having admiration for the outstanding boys and girls around them?
The college entrance exam, which was attended by millions of students, soon arrived. The students of Class 3-5 entered the examination hall confidently, except for one person – Jiang Mingqin. She entered the exam room with a pale face and a hesitant step, already having given up in her heart.
The last time the city-wide mock exam results were released, the young man had consistently performed well and even took first place. In the radiant glow of his achievements, everyone else seemed like jesters. Since she knew she wouldn’t perform well in the exam, she thought it would be better to pretend to faint. This way, she could use her physical discomfort as an excuse for not performing well, thereby saving some face.
After she returned to the Yin family’s house, she planned to have the Yin family pay for her college education. After all, didn’t her mother go to college the same way? Her mother was even less qualified than she was, and she didn’t even have a high school diploma but still managed to go to college. Surely, she could do it too.
So, on the first day of the college entrance examination, during the math exam, before reporters and the media could prepare their questions and interviews, they were surprised to see an ambulance rushing into the examination center. A few minutes later, a beautiful girl with a pale face was lying on a stretcher, being assisted onto the ambulance, causing quite a commotion.
Reporters: “??? This year’s news is really interesting.”
