324: Chapter 325: End of the College Entrance Examination 324: Chapter 325: End of the College Entrance Examination Jiang Changjian’s designated driver drove to the examination venue at Jiangbei First High School.
Ye Qiu got out of the car and saw that there were even more parents waiting at the school gate.
Ye Qiu didn’t squeeze inside; instead, he waited until the last high school exam, English, ended before calling Liu Lingxiu.
“Ye Qiu, I just ca out of the classroom.”
From Liu Lingxiu’s tone, Ye Qiu could tell she was very happy, indicating she did quite well on the English exam.
“I’m outside the school gate.”
Ye Qiu said.
When Liu Lingxiu hurried out and found Ye Qiu at the security guard’s kiosk, she imdiately ran over and hugged him.
Now that the high school exams were over, she could openly date Ye Qiu.
Moreover, she no longer needed to hide her feelings for Ye Qiu or worry about the eyes of others.
“Why is there blood on your clothes?”
It was only after noticing the bloodstains on Ye Qiu’s shirt and pants that Liu Lingxiu sounded curious and concerned.
“A girl jumped off a building earlier.”
Liu Lingxiu had heard about it after the exams but had not believed it was true.
“Did you save her?”
Ye Qiu nodded and said, “I saved her.
She has been sent to the hospital, and I will treat her one more ti tomorrow.
Then she will be fully healed.”
Liu Lingxiu knew that Ye Qiu would definitely step in to help.
But she hadn’t expected that Ye Qiu had saved a boy just yesterday and now a girl today.
When Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu reached the bus, Liu Lingxiu held onto Ye Qiu’s arm and they got on board together.
Su Luoluo and the other classmates were already on the bus.
So were happy; others were sad.
The happy ones felt they did well on the exams, while the sad ones knew they had done poorly.
Su Luoluo felt she had done decently, probably similar to her usual mock exams, and could likely get into Jinling University.
However, seeing Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu together, she felt an inexplicable discomfort.
She knew her good performance was thanks to Ye Qiu’s guidance and tily treatnt.
But now, after the exams, Su Luoluo was unsure whether she was closer or further from Ye Qiu’s heart.
Seeing Liu Lingxiu unhesitatingly hold Ye Qiu’s arm and openly show that Ye Qiu was her boyfriend in front of their classmates made Su Luoluo realize she might have already missed the chance with Ye Qiu that she hadn’t appreciated before.
“The exams are over, and we just have to wait until July for the results.
So, regardless of how you did, don’t overthink it.
Should we all go eat together now?”
Li Molian asked.
Earlier, she had learned that a girl at Jiangbei First High School attempted suicide due to poor exam performance.
She naturally did not wish for such a thing to happen in her class.
Now that the exams were over, it might be the last ti they all gathered together.
“Yes, let’s go.”
…
The classmates responded one after another.
“Let’s go to a hotel to eat.
I’ll cover the cost,” Li Molian said.
Li Molian’s salary wasn’t high, and having a big al in a hotel might cost her an entire month’s salary.
But she was very happy now because their class had a student like Ye Qiu.
Given Ye Qiu’s performance, their class would likely produce the top scorer in the Jiangnan Province exams, bringing honor that she had worked a decade to achieve.
The bus driver drove them to a well-known hotel in Jiangbei.
When they arrived, Li Molian went inside to book seats.
With four or five dozen classmates, it would take at least four or five tables to seat everyone, with ten at each table.
Ye Qiu followed Li Molian, and when she asked the receptionist about availability, Ye Qiu said, “Teacher, let’s just get a private room.”
“Private rooms are expensive,” Li Molian said.
“I’ll pay,” Ye Qiu insisted.
There was no way he would let their horoom teacher, Li Molian, pay for this.
The receptionist confird that a ‘Plum Blossom Hall’ private room was available, big enough for four or five dozen classmates.
Besides dining and drinking tea, it also had facilities for singing.
Previously, if Zhang Wei had been alive, he would have paid for such an occasion.
But with his passing, Ye Qiu had stepped into his shoes without hesitation.
However, Li Molian preferred students like Ye Qiu.
When Li Qiang, Zhou Tian, Wang Ming, and Wang Peng followed them inside, they were disheartened.
They knew they had not perford well and would likely only get into average colleges with high tuition and worthless diplomas, making it hard to find jobs.
They knew they would have to turn to Zhang Wei’s father, Zhang Dongliang, and work at his company.
If Zhang Wei were still around, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Now, seeing Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming with Ye Qiu, they envied those two, knowing they had invested wisely.
Although they had also chosen their ally well, they never expected Zhang Wei to die so quickly.
When two female attendants led Li Molian and her group into the Plum Blossom Hall, they found it over one hundred square ters, with dining tables, chairs, sofas, karaoke, and tables for playing Mahjong.
Ye Qiu, Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu, Li Shen, Zhu Zhiming, and five others sat at one dining table.
The female attendant brought nus and asked if they wanted a unified nu or different ones for each table.
Recalling feeling sick after eating at a restaurant a few days earlier, Su Luoluo was a bit afraid but thought that if she felt unwell, she could openly seek Ye Qiu’s help.
“Let’s each order separately,”
Ye Qiu said.
He asked Liu Lingxiu and Su Luoluo to order, one dish per person, with ten people each ordering one dish, plus two soups, which would be enough.
After Ye Qiu’s table ordered, the others did the sa.
Once the female attendant left with the orders, so classmates started singing.
“Qiu, where are you going tomorrow?”
Li Shen asked.
“I still need to treat that girl tomorrow,” Ye Qiu said.
Li Shen and the others already knew Ye Qiu had handed in his paper early to save the girl who jumped.
“Is the girl who jumped prettier than ?”
Su Luoluo asked.
“Prettier than you,”
Ye Qiu replied.
In truth, he found the girl he treated not as pretty or charismatic as Su Luoluo.
He said it on purpose.
“I don’t believe you, you’re just trying to make mad,”
Su Luoluo said, playfully hitting Ye Qiu’s shoulder.
To the other boys, it looked like they were flirting, making them even more envious of Ye Qiu.
