Chapter 235: Chapter 237: Examination_1

Li Qiao finished her exam and saw her classmates playing and having a snowball fight on the playground, so she tightened her scarf and joined in.

Everyone’s faces were barely visible except for their eyes, and no one could recognize each other—everyone had a blast.

Boys and girls alike, some teamed up to sled down slopes, others rolled snowballs together.

Li Qiao grabbed the person in front of her to sled down the hill, and when the leader slipped back, everyone tumbled forward like dominoes, and she too took a nosedive.

They all laughed at her, and she joined in the laughter, playing several more times before having another snowball fight.

Xue Sufen walked with Xue Lingqing after class.

She said, "Li Qiao didn’t come today, shouldn’t you punish her?"

Xue Lingqing was annoyed, "Why are you always fixated on her? Don’t you know she’s taking a grade-skipping exam?"

Xue Sufen exclaimed, "The exams started today? She didn’t even tell me! Will she still take our class’s final exams? Did you set the exam papers for the grade-skipping test?"

"If you want to know, you ask her yourself."

Xue Sufen sighed to herself, "If she really skips a grade, do I have to address her as senior sister in the future? If only you were setting the papers, you could’ve made them extremely hard and fail her so she couldn’t skip a grade."

"If you don’t want her to skip, I’ll make sure she does!" Xue Lingqing turned his head and immediately recognized Li Qiao, who was playing with the students on the playground.

She wore a bright red cotton-padded coat, and who knows how she wrapped it, covering her head and face, leaving only her eyes visible.

Even so, he still recognized her.

Xue Sufen, annoyed as if she’d swallowed dynamite, kept sputtering at Li Qiao.

...

Li Qiao, having had enough fun, went back to the dorm to sleep, running into Ma Hongxiang on the way.

"How did your exam go today?"

"No problem!" Li Qiao answered confidently.

Ma Hongxiang: "We have a political education exam in the afternoon in the class, will you make it?"

"Of course, I’ll make it. We who are skipping grades only took the morning exam," Li Qiao said.

Talking, the two of them entered the dormitory. Li Qiao took off her clothes and went to bed while Ma Hongxiang was busy with the sprint of the last-minute review. She asked, "Aren’t you going to look at your books?"

Li Qiao: "It’s no use looking at them now—I won’t remember much." She closed her eyes to sleep and arrived at the classroom before two in the afternoon to take the test for her current level.

After it ended, she headed home. The school loudspeakers broadcasted the weather, predicting rain mixed with snow for the next two days.

She wasn’t scared of the snow. It was the rain that bothered her—icy conditions made walking difficult when temperatures were low.

At home, she prepared three days’ worth of dog food. On her way back, she was stopped by the duty officer at the delivery room, "Li Qiao, you have a letter."

Li Qiao entered the duty room and found a package from Han Ting. She thanked him and took the package back to the dorm.

Inside was a big bag of candy.

"Brandy-filled chocolates." Sufen thought bitterly, she hadn’t expected the rascal to be so romantic—to know to give a girl chocolates. Where did he buy them? These candies were rarely sold in supermarkets and almost instantly sold out when available, and she only got to eat them during the holidays.

Lv Qian stepped up to join the fun. The moment Li Qiao took out the bag of candy, an envelope caught her eye, addressed to Li Qiao.

The sender was Han Ting.

"Who is Han Ting? Isn’t your boyfriend surnamed Qin?" Lv Qian said with a suggestive expression.

Li Qiao with a serious face, "Did I say my boyfriend gave it to me? This is from an educated youth in our village."

"We also have educated youths in our village. Why don’t they send me chocolates?" Lv Qian implied there was something improper between the two.

Ma Hongxiang: "When Li Qiao was studying, she often tutored the educated youths in her village. Did you tutor anyone?"

"I would’ve loved to, but nobody asked me to tutor them," Lv Qian said, her smile carrying a hidden meaning.

Li Qiao: "You just want to say I’m sleeping with him, right? Last time, I wrote a complaint, ready to sue you for spreading rumors. Do you know why you didn’t receive a court summons? Because Mr. Che intercepted it, found me privately, and gave you a chance to mend your ways. I listened to the teacher, did you think I was bluffing you? Do you need to verify this with the teacher?"

Lv Qian’s face changed drastically, and she dared not say another word.

Li Qiao snorted coldly as she opened the letter, which said that the candy was bought by all five of them together, and asked her to please accept it.

They would return to the village together on the ninth day after the New Year to see her, and by the way, settle accounts, asking her to find a guesthouse for them in advance.

Ma Hongxiang expressed her envy, "The educated youths from your village are really nice to you." They sent candy from so distant, and it was chocolate at that.

Xue Sufen would always mention how expensive and hard to get this kind of candy was whenever she ate it.

It was as if she feared others wouldn’t know about her superior family background.

Li Qiao’s eyes curved with a smile as she said, "I’m good to them too." Affection is mutual; if you’re good to me, naturally I’ll be good to you.

One-sided giving can never last.

She put down the letter, opened the candy bag, and handed a handful to Ma Hongxiang.

Ma Hongxiang hastily waved her hands in refusal.

Li Qiao: "Take it, have a taste." She then offered some to Xue Sufen.

Xue Sufen coldly said, "I don’t want any, it’s not like I’ve never had it before."

"Thank you for the porridge you brought me yesterday." Li Qiao grabbed two handfuls of candies and placed them on her desk, "Help me give a handful to Professor Xue."

"If you want to give it, take it yourself." Xue Sufen’s mouth wasn’t sweetened by the candy; she hadn’t forgotten about yesterday’s incident.

Li Qiao had no choice but to take back the portion meant for Xue Lingqing, stuffing it in her pocket to give to Counselor Xiang later on, who had helped her a lot since the start of the school year.

She deliberately ignored Lv Qian and stuffed the remaining candies into her storage locker, locked it, and left the room.

Xue Sufen: "My uncle has a class, don’t you go disturbing him."

"I’m not looking for Professor Xue." Li Qiao left.

Xue Sufen: "..."

Lv Qian couldn’t save face, quickly picked up her thermos, and followed out of the door.

Li Qiao unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into her mouth. The chocolate coating melted away, sweetly revealing a rich liqueur center. As she threw away the wrapper, she caught a glimpse of Lv Qian glaring at her from behind. She swiftly returned a dagger glare.

Lv Qian flinched in surprise and looked down.

Li Qiao snickered to herself and ran off to find Counselor Xiang at the information science department. Upon meeting, she eagerly pulled out the candies from her pocket as if they were treasures.

"Wow! Liquor-filled chocolates, where did you get these?"

"A friend gave them to me."

"What friend is so generous?" Counselor Xiang’s tone lowered, "You didn’t change boyfriends, did you?"

"Tush, tush, tush!" Li Qiao said, "My boyfriend is so wonderful, how could I possibly change?" He’s the one chosen by the heavens, the man Li Jinhua tried every trick in the book to get!

Handsome and ambitious, she treasured him too much to even consider it.

She explained, "It’s from the educated youths in my home village, who sent them together. Earlier, when they were reviewing, I helped them carry papers and sorted out key points, which led to a deep friendship."

"With your sorting of key points, they all got accepted, didn’t they?"

Li Qiao: "Yes! They’ve also put in a lot of effort themselves."

Counselor Xiang smiled, then inquired about Li Qiao skipping a grade and mentioned that there was also a student in his class who had skipped, named Su Yu, and that student had moved up to the senior year.

Li Qiao was amazed, "That person was in the same examination room as me, so impressive. How come I never heard you mention them before?"

"He just applied for it."

Li Qiao admired him immensely. What a genius!

.....

After parting with Counselor Xiang, Li Qiao headed back to the dormitory. As she neared the dormitory building, she heard a weak mew. She parted the underbrush and found a shivering little kitten.

She looked around, then stepped forward, picked up the kitten, and carried it into the dormitory.
