Chapter 7

Wu Yinghua was so angry that she couldn’t even eat dinner. She immediately put her chopsticks down and called her old classmate. After a few moments, she came back aggressively, “I have an appointment with her tomorrow! This contract has a hesitation period and can be refunded. Tomorrow, I’ll have the 3,000 yuan refunded and buy you a computer!”

Yu Yue, who had been wanting a laptop, yelled at his enemies, “Retreat! You must retreat!”

Why didn’t his mom buy six or seven thousand worth of insurance? If that money was returned, his computer would be epic.

Yu Yue was so full of joy and it was all due to his sister. When he went downstairs to throw the trash out, he brought back an ice cream for Qi Ying. When he got to her room, he saw Qi Ying writing her ancient novel again.

Yu Yue thought to himself, maybe in a few years, his sister would become a big novelist.

At that time, he would throw thunder for his sister.

*I think this means he’d do anything for her lol

…

After finishing her diary, Qi Ying closed her notebook and remembering how she had dictation for English the following day, took out her English book to continue reviewing. After looking at half the section, her phone received a WeChat from Yue Li: Ying Ying! I just saw Ji Rang!

Before Qi Ying had time to reply, another message popped up: He was arguing with a particularly beautiful woman! His expression was so fierce! Did I witness a breakup scene? But that woman must have been twenty-five or twenty-six, so old.

Qi Ying deleted the message she had begun to type and retyped: Twenty-five or six is not that old.

Yue Lie: Does Ji Rang like this time of older sister? No wonder Xue Manqing couldn’t do anything.

Qi Ying didn’t want to continue the topic and asked her: Have you memorized your words at home? Why are you still out so late?

Yue Li made a strained expression: I was at cram school. I just finished class and now I’m on my way back home.

Qi Ying was impressed by the hardworking spirit of her tablemate.

She returned: Add oil!

*Jia you! Add oil = HWAITING = Come on!!!

…

When she arrived at class the next morning, Yue Li was already seated.

She had always been late because every morning, Yue Li would detour to the market and buy a bowl of famous beef noodle. In Yue Li’s own words, “Lao Chen Beef Noodles” is her motivate to get up early and her source of strength to study all day.

As a result, she arrived earlier that Qi Ying, carrying a pork floss bread.

Seeing Qi Ying come in, she looked instantly excited, but thought of the first English lesson and help onto the enthusiasm to gossip until after class. In the meantime, she would devote herself to studying words.

Morning self-study was over. After a ten-minute break, the English teacher walked into the classroom at the sound of the bell. Standing on the podium, he said “Collect the textbooks and dictate the words.”

Qi Ying couldn’t hear but seeing everyone’s uniform movements, she obediently put the book in her desk, took out the dictation book and started writing words by herself.

Yue Li’s posture next to her looked very serious.

Qi Ying thought to herself that the class teacher was really nice to her and arranged such a hard-working school tyrant to be at the same table as her. Have to word harder to catch up with everyone!

Five minutes later when dictation was over, the English teacher signaled to exchange the book with their table-mates and check the answers.

Qi Ying took a look at Yue Li’s words.

What happened? Twenty words were said, but only five were written?

Not one less or more.

Facing the doubtful eyes of Qi Ying, Yue Li: … T.T Such a result, who wants it?!

I work hard! I work hard! I go to cram school, but I’m still scum, what can I do? I’m desperate too!

Fifteen words were wrong and Yue Li was fined to copy each word twenty times before school was over. Accustomed to it, she was not affected at all. After class, she and Qi Ying gossiped about meeting Ji Rang the night before.

She typed on the phone between her legs to Qi Ying: Ji Rang got out of the car and his action of slamming the door was so fierce! the short haired older sister parked her car on the side of the road to catch up with him. I couldn’t hear what they were saying from across the road, but I heard Ji Rang yell “Get off Lao Tzu’s shit, who wants to go?!” Then he took a taxi and left.

Qi Ying returned a series of ellipses.

Yue Li: Do you think they’re related?

Qi Ying: I don’t know.

Yue Li gave her a strange look: Ying Ying, aren’t you curious? You are the one who has a story with the boss!

Qi Ying was slow to type and it took her a long time to finish the sentence: It’s his own private business, we shouldn’t snoop.

Whether it was before or now, the general always had a lot of things she did not know about.

For example, how did the general refuse to accept the marriage of the princess without angering the Emperor? And how did he manager to have the excused for all the invites to banquets in Beijing?

She didn’t need to know too much. As long as the general needed her and let her stay with him, all she wanted was for him to be safe and healthy.

Yue Li looked at her gentle eyes and thought silent, maybe this was the reason why Ying Ying could write all the words correctly even if she couldn’t hear the words.

People are so attentive! Hearing gossip with both ears, they should just focus on politics and history!

Yue Li replied to her: You are right! I won’t gossip anymore in the future, I will also use this energy to study instead!

Qi Ying squeezed her fist and cheered.

Yue Li tucked her phone into her schoolbag and took out a math book for the next lesson and began to review it.

Halfway through the math class, Qi Ying who was taking notes seriously received a small note from Yue Li: Ying Ying, let me ask you, will you have lunch with Ji Rang today?

Qi Ying: …

She shook her head.

What the general didn’t like, she would not do again.

Yue Lie laughed out and revealed two little dimples: Then we will run a little faster after class, today we must get sweet and sour pork ribs!

Qi Ying nodded with a smile.

As a result, before leaving class, their homeroom teacher came and called Qi Ying away. At the office, Yu Yue was standing there at showed her the memo he had written.

It turned out Yu Cheng had called Liu Qinghua, their homeroom teacher.

Qi Ying had been treating deafness in the city hospital. The attending doctor contacted Yu Cheng in the morning and say that a very famous ENT doctor came to the hospital to participate in a conference that morning. After the meeting, he would return to Beijing.

If it was convenient, he hoped that Yu Cheng could ask Liu Qinghua for leave and have the doctor check Qi Ying, which could aid in her recovery.

Without further ado, Yu Cheng immediately called Liu Qinghua for leave and asked her to approve a note for Qi Ying.

However, he was uneasy that Qi Ying would go alone. He also called Yu Yue’s teacher and asked for leave. He asked Yu Yue to accompany Qi Ying to wait at the school gate.

Liu Qinghua handed the slip to Yu Yue and after asking a few questions, let him take Qi Ying away.

The class bell rang and the campus was empty. Yu Yue led Qi Ying straight to the school gate and showed the leave slip to the security guard to let them go.

The sun was bright so Yu Yue looked left and right before taking Qi Ying’s sleeve to bring her to the shady area by the wall. Then he called Yu Cheng, “How much longer will you take? The sun is too big, it’s hot.”

Yu Cheng said, “Seven or eight minutes, there’s some traffic.”

Qi Ying stood obediently, curiously watching a sparrow resting on the wall.

A palm slammed onto the wall from the bottom up. The sparrow flew away in fright and Qi Ying’s eyes widened. In the next second, a thin figure jumped down from the wall, placing one palm on the ground, and landing steadily.

When he looked up, his indifferent expression instantly cracked when he saw what was at hand.

The curiosity in Qi Ying’s eyes turned into joy.

She stepped forward and seemed to want to help him.

Ji Rang hurriedly backed up and extended his palm forward: “Don’t come over! Just stand there!”

Qi Ying couldn’t hear but could understand his gestured and stopped.

Yu Yue had just hung up the phone and turned to look at him with an incredible look.

Yu Yue had widened his eyes and after a long while, Yu Yue said, “You skipped class.”

Ji Rang: “…”

Yu Yue rarely saw the embarrassed expression of the school bully and knowing that Qi Ying could not hear, he deliberate ridiculed Ji Rang, “Sister, look, this is a bad student.”

Ji Rang: “…”

He slowly got up and seemed to come over to hit someone.

Yu Yue said loudly, “The security office is right there! I’ll call someone!”

Ji Rang smiled a smile that wasn’t sincere, “I’m so scared.”

Yu Yue: “…”

He was anxious.

It was okay to speak softly because his sister couldn’t hear anyway and it wouldn’t affect his image. Don’t lose a change to take action! If Ji Rang beat him in front of his sister, how could he be considered a man in the future?

Yu Yue immediately said, “Boss, the way you jumped over the wall was so handsome, can you teach me?”

Ji Rang: “???”

The tone was particularly sincere.

Ji Rang looked at him for a while. Then, he turned and left. Not far away was his black and red motorcycle.

Qi Ying suddenly caught up to him.

Yu Yue shouted, “Sister” in a hurry. Qi Ying had caught up to him and held his shirt with her fingertips.

Ji Rang took a step.

Qi Ying quickly let go and passed him a tissue.

It had rained last night and the ground hadn’t drive. His pants and palms were muddy.

Her white and delicate wrists stretched out in the air, and she shivered a little because he hadn’t made a motion for a while.

Ji Rang took a look and reached out to take the tissue. The texture of the paper towel was soft and the corners had small blue flowers and a slight fragrance.

Qi Ying bent her eyes and smiled at him obediently, waved her hand, and walked back to Yu Yue.

Ji Rang lowered his head and had no extra expressions on his face. He wiped the mud on the towel before walking up to his bike and sat on it with his long legs.

The harsh roar rang through the street.

When Yu Cheng drove over, he passed the speeding motorcycle.

He frowned, waited for Yu Yue and Qi Ying to get on the car, then turned around and said, “The student who just rode the motorcycle goes to your school? How can the teacher not care? It affects the other students’ study!”

Yu Yue took the opportunity to release the grievanced that were just suppressed by that big brother’s gas field: “Don’t even talk about it! It’s too much for me! Dad, you don’t know, this person is bad, smoking and fighting. I heard that last term, he put a senior student in the ICU! He’s a world-famous bully.”

Yu Cheng: “… You are not that much better.”

Yu Yue: “?????”

The car drove halfway when Yu Cheng received a call from the doctor at the city hospital, saying the doctor had ended the exchange meeting in advance and now went to a private hospital for consultation. The attending doctor helped them contact the other side and promised the make an appointment in an hour’s time.

Yu Cheng had to turn around and speed to the private hospital.

When he arrived, the doctor had just finished his private consultation and the rest of the time was left for Qi Ying.

Six months after the explosion, her ear injury had begun to recover due to treatment. At first, there was slight tinnitus but now it was disappearing which was an improvement.

The doctor examined her and made some medical adjustments based on the previous treatment records. When he left, the doctor told Yu Cheng that in four or five months, Qi Ying would recover her hearing.

Yu Cheng told Yu Yue: “I will take the two of you to eat at the Italian restaurant we just passed by!”

The private hospital was built in the suburbs, which was considered to be a wealthy area. The decorate style of the Italian restaurant showed that the price was not cheap at first glance. Yu Yue was silent in his heart.

I didn’t get this treatment when I got into Shanghai City No. 1 Middle School.

Before leaving, Qi Ying went to the bathroom.

The toilets in the private hospital were also very well-built, with no odor or dirt at all. When Qi Ying washed her hands, she suddenly smelled smoke in the air.

She rinsed the soap form her fingers and walked out. When she went out, Ji Rang stood in the corned and was smoking.

With four eyes facing each other, Ji Rang had the heart to die.

First, his truancy was caught, and now he was smoking and seen by her. Should he have not gone out today?

Ji Rang threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.

He walked towards Qi Ying.

The smell of smoke was also approaching.

But she didn’t feel bad.

Ji Rang stood in front of her, only three fingers away, and the soap and smoke on the teenager’s clothes shrouded her.

He asked her fiercely, “Did you follow Lao Tzu?”

Qi Ying raised her high slightly, blinked her eyelashes, and suddenly reached out to rub his left cheek.

There was ash from when he jumped over the wall.

Ji Rang stiffened and without thinking, pushed her hand away with a wave.

Slammed the back of her hand.

The fair skin immediately turned red.

Qi Ying did not expect this and even forget to put her hand down and looked at him.

Ji Rang: …

There was a flash of panic in his fierce expression.

She wouldn’t cry, right?

Qi Ying hadn’t responded yet when Ji Rang suddenly grabbed her hand and hit himself back.

It was a slap again.

He didn’t actually hurt her before, but now it really hurt.

Qi Ying’s eyes were red.

Ji Rang stared at her and said fiercely, “Didn’t you hit me back?”
