Chapter 68

  Yucai, who was extremely lacking in exercise, took a short walk and soon felt sleepy. Her original plan to sleep at the same time as usual was disrupted, and she went to bed early. However, going to bed early had an unexpected consequence: she woke up in the middle of the night. After lying in bed for a while, she found that her spirit was getting more and more vigorous, so she got out of bed to go to the bathroom and see if she could find some sleepiness. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a black shadow standing at the entrance, and even Yucai, who was fearless, let out a loud scream in the quiet night. She randomly grabbed something and threw it over.

  The culprit who scared Yucai's classmate was also frightened, fortunately still agile enough to dodge her deadly vase. A crisp sound came, the vase made a glorious sacrifice, fresh flowers, shards, and water splashed all over the floor.

  At the same time, Qi Shu Fan, who hadn't fallen asleep, hastily opened the door and asked, "Xiao Cai, what's wrong?" As he spoke, he turned on the living room light, and Auntie also came out. The two of them looked at Yu Cai and Qi Shi in surprise, standing facing each other.

  Yu Cai blinked and finally saw clearly the handsome young man staring at her in a daze, "A Shi?"

  Ji Shi was still in a daze and nodded blankly.

  "Xiao Cai, what's wrong with you?"

  Yu Cai blinked again and looked around at the mess on the ground, as if waking up from a dream. "A Shi, did I hit you?"

  Qiji's expression returned to its usual paralyzed state, shaking his head in denial.

  Yu Zai let out a sigh of relief, and smiled awkwardly at Qi Shu Fan. "It's nothing, I opened the door to see Ah Shi standing in front of me, it scared me... Ah Shi, what are you doing standing in front of my door? Why haven't you turned on the light?"

  I couldn't sleep.

  Yu Cai is so annoying, can't sleep and wants to stand at her door to scare her?

  "I want to talk with you."

  Yu Cai's poor heart was startled again, and Qí Shì thought to talk to her, she hadn't misheard, had she?

  At the moment when Yu Cai and Qi Shi were speechless, Qi Shu suddenly moved. "Qi Shi, Xiao Cai, move over a bit, I'll sweep the glass, big sister, you go to sleep."

  Auntie snatched the broom from his hand, cleaned up the glass and then returned to her room. Yu Cai also went to the bathroom to wash her face, completely waking up, looking at Qi Shi with a refreshed expression, "Ah Shi, what do you want to say?"

  He woke up in the middle of the night, just like Yu Cai, and found it hard to fall asleep again. He decided to come out for some fresh air, but when he saw the bright red Chinese knot on Yu Cai's door, a strange desire suddenly rose in his heart. He came to her door but stopped, tomorrow was the college entrance examination, he shouldn't disturb her at midnight.

  Now Yucai woke up and asked him what he wanted to say, but he felt unable to speak. What did he want to say to her?

  Yu Cai saw him dazed and took over the hot milk handed by Qi Shu Fan, sitting down beside him, "A Shi, are you nervous?"

  "I'm afraid..."

  Yu Cai Qi looked at him strangely, then looked at Qi Shu Fan, "Afraid?"

  "Qī shì zhī dìng dìng kàn zhe zì jǐ de shǒu zhǐ, 'wǒ pà —— nǐ men liú wǒ yī gè'."

  Translation:

  "Ji Shi's eyes fixed on his fingers, 'I'm afraid——you guys leave me one'."

  Ji Shi's words were brief, so brief that it was hard to guess their specific meaning, but Yu Cai suddenly understood. He covered his long and white hand with his right hand, "Ah Shi, believe me, with your strength, you will definitely be able to take the university exam with us."

  Yu Cai's hand was warm with the temperature of milk, and he moved his fingertips slightly, but did not pull away. He looked down at Yu Cai's neatly trimmed fingernails, a pair of hands that were very familiar to him, even more so than Yu Cai's face. Every word, every principle, every problem had been conveyed to him through these hands. He didn't know if he could patiently go through the endless years of repetition without the accompaniment of these hands.

  "Ah, Xi," Yu Cai laughed softly and patted his hand, "I thought you really could abstain from worldly desires, but now you're actually afraid, how wonderful!"

  Qizhi's gaze followed Yucai's hand to the glass she was holding, while Qishu Fan stared intently at his son's reaction, not even daring to breathe.

  Yu Cai Ge Ge smiled, her hands unconsciously rubbing the glass cup in her hand. "A Shi, I've thought about it long ago. If you really can't get in and want to retake the exam, I'll apply to a university in the provincial city too, so I can still accompany you. If you're not willing to part with He Qi Xia Yun, we can also go negotiate with them, they probably won't refuse."

  Ji Shi's gaze finally met Yu Cai's eyes, and Yu Cai's already small eyes narrowed into a slit. "You want to go to Xiamen."

  "I also want to go to Tibet," Yu Cai pouted.

  The perfect ice sculpture face of Ji Shi finally showed a crack, Yu Cai chuckled and pushed his shoulder, "There's still an exam tomorrow, don't get so moved that you can't sleep!"

  Ji Shi stopped talking, Yu Cai Chao had a thoughtful look on her face as she raised an eyebrow, slowly sipping the milk, waiting until the cup was empty, then stood up and stretched lazily, "It's only two o'clock, A Shi, let's sleep for a while longer".

  Qī shì zhī zhàn le qǐlai, mò rán kàn zhe tā.

  Translation:

  He stood up and silently looked at her.

  Yu Cai made a melancholic expression and looked up at the sky, "A Shi, are you inviting me to sleep with you?"

  The great embarrassment of praying, subconsciously took two steps back.

  Yu Cai's innocent eyes blinked, "A Shi, are you... afraid?"

  Ji Shi glared at her fiercely, turned around and entered the house, with a hint of fleeing in defeat. Yu Cai was depressed and worried, "Ah Shi has also learned to glare at people, indeed corrupted by He Qi".

  Whenever someone tried to ruffle her hair, Yu Zai would take two steps back and glare at them with feigned vigilance. "Dear uncle, I can assure you that I am indeed afraid."

  "Go to sleep, we still have exams tomorrow."

  Many high school students took the exam in their own schools, and Yu Cai and Qi Shilei were no exception. Under the accompaniment of Qi Shu Fan, they arrived at the school 45 minutes in advance. Due to Yu Cai's current fame, she had to wear a duck tongue hat to completely cover her face. Soon after, the teaching building opened its doors. Yu Cai instructed Qi Shu Fan not to wait foolishly like some parents at the school gate, but to go back and rest for a while before coming back to pick them up when the time came, and then she and Qi Shilei went in.

  Qishu Fan couldn't help but smile as he looked at Yu Cai's small, delicate appearance. He found He Fu in the crowd and they sat down to chat in a nearby small shop.

  By the time the exam was over, I came to the school gate again. The gate had already been surrounded by a large group of parents. The students hadn't come out yet. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the school gate slowly opened and some students also came out from the teaching building.

  Yu Cai first found Qi Shu Fan and the two of them, saw He Fu's polite greeting, then coquettishly said it was too long, she felt suffocated, pulling Qi Shu Fan's arm and refusing to let go. Actually, Yu Cai was worried about Qi Shi Zhi's reaction after coming out, and with He Fu being inconveniently present, she decided to pretend to be weak and shut Qi Shi Zhi's mouth.

  It wasn't long before Yixi let out a sigh of relief, and said to Yucai, who was not feeling too well, "Sorry, I'll go first." Yucai walked a few steps, estimated that the others couldn't hear them anymore, and whispered to Yixi, "Axi, I think we're really lucky!"

  Ji Shi's expression was somewhat hesitant as he looked at her, Yu Cai stopped talking and followed Ji Shu Fan to get on the car quickly. After the car started, he spoke again, "A Shi, have you ever noticed that article about us?"

  He nodded and said, "There's also composition."

  Yu Cai's face was filled with distress, "I also feel that the composition is a bit familiar, but I just can't recall where I've seen it before".

  "You once made me write ten essays, and one of them was very similar to this. You even carefully revised it for me," and the revision was so thorough that it didn't resemble the original at all, leaving Ji Xi'er silently taking note in her heart as she closely watched Yu Cai's reaction.

  Yu Cai let out a cry of surprise, "No way! I asked you to write it, but you didn't even do it yourself. This time we've lost big!"

  Qishu Fan didn't mind and smiled, "Your writing is good, whether you've written it before or not, it's all the same."

  "That's also true, but it's a bit of a pity. I met him and let him slip away. If only I had written it down, at the very least, I could have saved some time and checked again."

  As she saw Yu Zhi's expression, the doubts in her heart slowly dissipated, and she closed her eyes to calm her mind.

  The math test was in the afternoon, and the questions were all from a long time ago. Yu Cai changed the numbers again, but fortunately, I didn't find anything wrong with them.

  The next day in the afternoon was the English exam. As soon as I got on the car, I calmly looked at Yu Cai and said, "Yu Cai, I've written this composition topic before."

  Yu Cai suppressed the discomfort in her heart, looking at him with a strange expression, "Unbelievable, Ah Shi, your luck is too good, I feel like I've never seen you before?"

  "You made me write it."

  "Really? I don't have any impression at all? Did I really let you write it?"

  Qī shì zhī diǎn tóu, yù cǎi yī shēng āi tàn, "nà wǒ zì jǐ zěn me jiù bù jì dé, zǎo zhī dào wǒ jiù gāi qù zuò shén me mó tí zhuān jiā zhuàn qián le".

  English Translation:

  Qishishi nodded, Yucai let out a sigh of sorrow, "Then why can't I remember myself? If only I had known, I would have become a guessing expert and made money."

  Qishu Fan burst out laughing, "Shi Zhi, you'd better thank Xiao Cai properly this time. Both essay questions were nailed by her."

  After the last exam, He Qi immediately invited Yu Zai and Yu Cai to go out and have fun together. However, Yu Cai was a bit unenthusiastic, saying that she was tired and wanted to go back and take a good nap instead.

  Considering Chi Shu was present, why didn't he bother them again and let Chi Shi go.

  Yu Cai's small room was vacated eight hundred years ago, and she also climbed onto the Buick of Qi Shu Fan with a broken pot.

  "Xiao Cai, how confident are you about passing the exam?"

  "As long as he performs normally, an ordinary second-tier university is still possible."

  "Really?"

  Yu Cai raised an eyebrow, praying that the heavens would bestow upon her a clever mind. This year she had studied diligently, and on top of that, she had revealed her own topics. Alright, it was actually very difficult to not get accepted.

  "Xiao Cai seems very confident?"

  "That's right, Ah Shi can be considered my number one big disciple, and I'm still counting on him to give me a plug!"

  Qishu Fang smiled and said, "Xiao Cai, thank you".

  Yu Cai waved her hand, "That's his own business, if you want to thank someone, thank him instead".

  "Having you by Xi's side makes me feel at ease."

  Yu Cai was taken aback, and Ji Shu Fan suddenly smiled strangely, "Xiao Cai, are you interested in becoming the daughter-in-law of the Ji family?"

  Yu Cai's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily shook her head, "Uncle, although you're handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary talent, I have to remind you that you're a bit too old for me".

  Just as he was about to speak again, Yu Guang swept his gaze over and saw that Yu Cai had closed her eyes, her face pale. Thinking she was tired, he gently stroked her hair and focused on driving without mentioning it.
