Since that day, Hu Ying’s mood had been consistently low, and she seemed gloomy. While Mu Qi could guess what might be going on, she wasn’t aware of the specific details.
After school one day, as the three of them walked out of the school gate, they saw Qi Wei standing by a tree across the street. When Qi Wei noticed them, she was still looking down at her phone.
“I’ll go ahead.” Hu Ying glanced at her, then turned and walked away.
Hearing her voice, Qi Wei immediately lifted her head, pocketed her phone, ran over, and grabbed Hu Ying’s arm. “I have something to tell you.” After greeting Mu Qi, she took Hu Ying away.
“Hope everything is okay?” Su Yanxi asked with a worried frown.
Mu Qi rubbed her head and smiled, “It’s fine. Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
Mu Qi and the others didn’t know how Hu Ying and Qi Wei resolved things after school that day, but judging by Qi Wei waiting for Hu Ying after school every day and accompanying her home, it seemed like they had reconciled.
Sipping her milk tea, Su Yanxi, watching the two figures walking away, turned to Mu Qi and asked with a smile, “Are they together now?”
“Apparently,” Mu Qi said, taking a piece of popcorn and putting it in her mouth.
Su Yanxi happily continued to eat. “I think Hu Ying is very happy.”
“I hope Qi Wei, after understanding her feelings, treats Hu Ying better.”
The academic pressure in the third year of high school was heavy. Since entering their senior year, Mu Qi and her friends had a busy schedule filled with either exams or more exams. Before the college entrance exam, the stack of papers they had to study was so thick that it was hard to imagine how they managed to write it all in the first place.
Because of Su Yanxi’s extra lessons, their grades began to improve significantly. In a mock exam before the college entrance exam, several of them had already entered the top fifty of their grade. While these scores might not guarantee admission to top-tier universities, they were good enough for first and second-tier institutions.
“Do you have a 2B pencil? Did you bring your admission ticket? Did you bring a ruler?” On the way, Mu Qi was bombarded with questions from the girls. She couldn’t help but laugh and pinch Su Yanxi’s face, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything.”
Hu Ying laughed heartily beside her, “Little cutie, you’re going to become a mother.”
“Get lost,” Mu Qi playfully scolded, patting her on the back of the head.
Su Yanxi on the side covered her mouth, laughing.
When they reached the school gate, Qi Wei waved to Hu Ying from a distance and shouted, “Xiao Ying.”
“Hmm…” Mu Qi looked at Hu Ying teasingly in response to the address.
Blushing, Hu Ying rolled her eyes at her and then ran over.
Qi Wei didn’t know what he said to Hu Ying, but under her urging, he pushed her away.
“How did she come? Isn’t today the college entrance examination?” Mu Qi approached and asked.
Hu Ying shook her head, saying, “She’s not taking the college entrance exam. She’s getting ready to work.”
“Working at this time?” Su Yanxi couldn’t believe it, widening her eyes.
Hu Ying pursed her lips and said, “Her family has many younger siblings, and they can’t afford her to go to college.”
“Well…” Su Yanxi wanted to say more, but Mu Qi put her arm around her shoulder, patting Hu Ying’s shoulder with the other hand, saying, “Let’s not talk about it now. We’ll talk after the exam.”
“Okay,” Hu Ying nodded.
The college entrance examination is strict and important, so every student’s face wears a serious expression.
The college entrance examination took two days in total. When the last exam was over, not only did the students relax, but the parents also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Qi and Su Yanxi never expected that when they came out of the examination room, they saw their own mothers standing together, chatting and laughing.
Mu Qi’s mother, as a popular celebrity, naturally had tighter security. So, at this moment, nobody paid attention to her. After all, at this moment, everyone was concerned about their children’s college entrance exams.
And with that, another chapter comes to an end.
