Chapter 61

  One day during class break, Yu Cai was seriously organizing her class notes when the head teacher called her out with a happy face, "Yu Cai, prepare well, someone will interview you later, and the school will hold an award ceremony for you this afternoon, and also present you with a certificate and bonus."

  Yu Cai's face was covered with a layer of mist, "Teacher, what are you talking about?"

  Teacher Wang patted her shoulder warmly, "Yu Cai is really humble. We've been envying other schools for having young writing geniuses all day long, but it turns out the real genius was right beside us."

  Yu Cai's scalp felt numb and tingling, "Teacher, I don't understand what you're saying".

  Teacher Wang was unhappy, "This child, still doesn't admit it? This is something to be proud of, what's there to deny? Quickly prepare how to make a speech".

  Yu Cai was almost in tears, "Teacher Wang, you've really got it wrong".

  Yu Cai, Zuo Cai, can't be wrong, don't deny it, the reporter will arrive soon.

  Yu Cai could only try her best to pull her hair over her face, which had become smaller after a serious illness, fortunately she was ill, or it would be really hard to cover up her big face!

  Yu Cai's identity was exposed, and as a direct result, the school breathed a sigh of relief, all the teachers breathed a sigh of relief, especially the two class advisors and the language teacher. And Yu Cai, sorry, you have to endure being gawked at like a monkey by everyone.

  Ji Shu Fan had just managed to get through to Lao Mei's phone, but was immediately overwhelmed by Lao Mei's enthusiastic congratulations. Ji Shu Fan started to feel dizzy and thanked Lao Mei before dialing He Qi's number.

  After a simple inquiry, he handed the phone to Yu Cai. As soon as Yu Cai heard that it was Qi Shu Fan, she suddenly looked like she had seen the Party Central Committee, and with tears in her eyes, said, "Dear uncle, I don't want to live anymore!"

  Qishu Fan suddenly laughed and said, "This girl, what is she talking about!"

  Yu Cai continued with tears in her eyes, "Dear uncle, I was wrong. It's better to be dead than alive. Our class teacher won't even let me take a leave of absence. Now I'm more miserable than the monkeys in the zoo!"

  "After school is over, I'll come back with Shi Zhi, and I'll help you think of a solution."

  Yucai hummed and hung up the phone, stiffened her face and returned to the classroom, pretending not to notice the countless strange gazes in front of and behind her.

  In the evening, when Yu Cai arrived at Qi's house, Qi Shu Fan was wearing loose pajamas and lazily leaning on the sofa watching news. When he saw Yu Cai, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Yu, the great talented woman is now famous all over the world".

  Yu Cai's apple face immediately turned into a bitter melon face, "Qi Shu Fan, you're also mocking me!"

  "Go wash up, it's time for dinner."

  At the dinner table, Yu Caiyi indignantly accused the school of ignoring her personal wishes and feelings in order to gain fame. Qi Shu Fan listened with a smile, and Yu Cai's angry red apple face greatly delighted him.

  Yu Zai's classmate suddenly realized that he had become the laughing stock of others, and was thoroughly enraged. "Qi Shu Fan, I am being very serious when talking to you!"

  Qī shū fán hěn wú gū, "wǒ yě shì hěn rèn dé de zài tīng ā".

  Translation:

  Qishu Fan is very innocent, "I am also listening very seriously".

  "Pray for him!"

  As soon as he saw Yu Cai, he immediately put on a serious face. "Xiao Cai, I agree with your point of view. Your school publicly disclosed your identity without your consent, causing severe and adverse effects on your studies and life. You can go to court to sue the school for compensation."

  Yu Cai stared blankly and said, "Isn't this enough?"

  "Qishu Fan continued solemnly, 'This is your legitimate right, you should strive for it through normal legal channels.'"

  "Uh, this isn't good, after all it's my alma mater, and the teachers were also very nice to me—"

  Qibook Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and thus Yu Cai classmate once again belatedly discovered that she had become someone else's laughing stock.

  "Pray, Fan!" shouted U Zhai's classmate from Hedong.

  Qishu bent down and helped her pick up the fallen dishes with chopsticks, "You always say you want to turn sorrow into appetite, come on, eat more."

  Yu Cai deeply knew that she was no match for Lao Hu Li, so she could only lower her head in anger and eat, to show her silent protest.

  "Xiao Cai, I've been transferred to the provincial capital."

  Transferred to the provincial government? What does that mean? Yu Cai reacted after a while, smiling ambiguously, "Congratulations on your promotion again!"

  Qishu Fang shook his head and smiled, "Xiao Cai, have you ever thought about how to solve this problem?"

  Yu Cai frowned, rubbing her forehead. "The best solution is to transfer schools, but I'm already in my third year of high school. Suddenly transferring to a new environment will definitely affect my studies, and almost everyone in the county's schools knows about it now. Transferring to another place would have an even greater impact, not to mention that Ah Yi and Yu Xian are both here."

  "Do you think that if you continue to stay here, is it possible for others not to look at you with a strange gaze anymore, or do you simply not care about those gazes, and even enjoy them?"

  Yu Cai let out a sorrowful sigh, "Basically, everything you said is impossible. You don't know how excessive those people are. Not only me, but even Ah Shi has been talked about thousands of times. In the past, when people saw me, they would say, 'This is Ji Shi's cousin.' Now, when people point at Ah Shi, they say, 'Look, that's Yu Cai's cousin.' It's said that the characters in my book are based on him. Previously, Shi Chengyu was also dug up and said to be my secret admirer, who came to visit me with ulterior motives. He Qi, Yang Junze, and Mo Fei were all rumored to be my boyfriends, and except for He Qi, none of the others who got along with me would talk to me anymore, afraid of being accused of being too close to me. Waaah, I don't want to live anymore!"

  Qishou patted her hair and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, why don't you come with me to the provincial city to study?"

  Yu Cai was stunned, staring blankly at Qi Shu Fan's serious face.

  "Xiao Cai, why don't you and Shi Zhi come with me to the provincial city? The teaching conditions are better there, and the teachers and classmates are of higher quality. Most importantly, no one will point at you or look at you with strange eyes."

  Yu Cai was stunned for a while, turned her head to look at the silent Qi Shi Zhi, and then shook her head fiercely, "No, I can't implicate Shi Zhi, transferring schools in the third year of high school has too great an impact".

  Qishu Fan couldn't help but smile, "Do you think changing environments will affect your release?"

  Yu Cai's head shook even faster, "Everyone here is familiar with him, especially He Qi, Ah Shi has only one friend".

  "What do you think?" asked Xi Shi as he looked at Qi Xuan.

  Yu Cai hastily interrupted him, "This is unfair to A Shi".

  Qishu Fan smiled wearily, "Xiao Cai, with you and Ashi here, I'm at ease. A university admission letter can't explain everything, besides, I trust both of you."

  Yu Cai fell silent for a moment, "It's still not suitable".

  "I can try to persuade He Qi, his dad is also in the provincial city."

  Yu Cai was just about to speak when Ji Shi's clear and melodious voice rang out, "No need for him, we'll go with you."

  "Axiang——"

  "Qi Xi interrupted her, 'I dislike those glances and words more than you.'"

  Yu Cai's nose turned sour and her voice was choked with sobs, "A Shi——"

  His face expressionless, "I'm a man, I don't need you always standing in front of me, accommodating me".

  "Axiang——"

  Qizhi got up, his right hand lightly touched Yucai's shoulder and quickly withdrew it. He entered the room and sighed, "Zhi has grown up."

  Yu Cai nodded, tears streaming down her face. Qi Shu patted his own shoulder and said, "Do you want me to lend you a shoulder to lean on?"

  Yu Cai Hu angrily wiped away her tears, "Don't let anyone who has read my book speak!"

  Qishu Fan lost his smile, "Alright, stop crying, big girl now, and don't be ashamed".

  Yu Cai rushed in, kicking open the door and bursting into the room.

  The next day, Qi Shu went out after breakfast and returned at noon to say that the formalities had been completed. Yu's father and mother were also notified, and they asked Yu Cai to pack up some things in the afternoon and leave after finishing packing.

  Yu Cai nodded and asked strangely, "I suddenly remembered that the school shouldn't want to let me go, and my grades are pretty good, so the school will be even less likely to let me go."

  "Of course they wouldn't want to, you still have to come back and take the college entrance exam, going to the provincial city is just for borrowing a study place, your academic record is still here. By the way, your school leaders apologized solemnly, saying that it affected your studies, the tuition fees for borrowing a study place will be reimbursed, and you don't have to worry about registering for the college entrance exam, just come back and take the test when the time comes."

  Yu Cai couldn't help but praise, "Alright, it's indeed a remarkable achievement! This is truly the work of a talented person!"

  "Take your things and say goodbye to He Qiyuan."

  Nod of relief.

  "Xiao Cai, I'll send you back in a bit and help you pack up your things."

  "Not needed"

  Qishu interrupted her, "You've packed up just in time to put it on the carriage, saving us the trouble of moving back and forth. It's also a good opportunity for me to see Yu Xiang, I haven't had a chance to see him for such a long time."

  Yu Cai could only nod.

  Yu Zhen's classmates had never made a big deal about his sister publishing two lousy books, until everyone around him started talking about the high school girl writer from XX High School. Only then did he suddenly realize that this was something to be proud of and respected, not just something that could earn some pocket money. Of course, after hearing about his sister's and Qi Shi Zhi's tragic story, Yu Zhen wisely didn't reveal that Yu Cai was his own sister, but the way he looked at Yu Cai inevitably had a few more threads of admiration.

  But now he suddenly heard that his own sister was going to the provincial city to study, and he felt reluctant to part with her. His family's genius sister, he hadn't admired her enough yet!

  Of course, Yu Xian's sadness didn't last long before being attracted by a high-end toy brought by Qi Shu Fan. Just as Yu Cai finally straightened up with a sweat, he found his younger brother playing with a remote control airplane in the courtyard, looking very excited. Suddenly angry, "Yu Xian, don't you have class this afternoon?"

  "I want it."

  "What are you doing instead of going to sleep?"

  "Hehe, isn't this what you wanted?"

  "I don't need you to send me."

  "Ah, come and help me move the books into the car."

  Yu Fang put down the remote control and went to move books. Yu Cai's eyebrows were furrowed so tightly they could have pinched a fly to death. Qi Shu Fan chuckled, "Yu Fang looks like a good kid too, don't worry."

  "He's too playful," Yu Cai said with a scowl, rubbing her temples, "If I find out who spread the word, I'll kill him!"

  Qishu patted her shoulder, "Alright, don't be disheartened. Once you arrive at the provincial city, you'll find yourself in a brand new world and will soon grow to like it."

  Yu Cai gave him a discontented glance, was he bullying her for being inexperienced?
