Chapter 182: Chapter 138: An Intention, Two Pieces of News_2
Upon hearing this, Sui Yi stood up and offered a faint smile to the two of them.
"I was actually planning to go to Provincial City... With Aunt Xiuling’s visit, it’s perfect for grandma to have a temporary place to stay. As for where she will eventually live, wherever grandma likes is fine by me... I don’t mind,"
Uh, does that mean... she agreed?
Just as Auntie Wang was about to spend some effort persuading, Ye Xiuling was momentarily stunned.
She did interpret that Sui Yi had agreed, although not absolutely, everything still depended on whether the old lady was willing, and moreover, if she could treat the old lady well...
A temporary place to stay, these five words were quite apt.
--------
It was only after a detailed conversation that it became known, the small store that Ye Xiuling ran in Provincial City wasn’t large, but the monthly income was decent. She also had a son studying at high school in the city, also in his second year at Second High School, not far, so leaving him to stay with a classmate for a few days was somewhat reassuring, but she couldn’t leave for long.
Though she said a few days, it was actually just one or two days.
Within these one or two days, Sui Yi was making arrangements to go to Provincial City, of course not so soon, just beginning the preparations.
After all, going there, she had decided to stay for a long time, and everything needed to be considered, whether it be studies or living arrangements.
And during these two days, were Sui Yi’s most leisurely days, because there were two women in the house managing everything, the old lady was also well cared for, and naturally, Sui Yi didn’t need to worry too much.
However, Sui Yi hadn’t prepared much for the "migration," and the next day when she went to school, a joke-like piece of news suddenly fell on everyone’s head at Second High School.
And on Sui Yi’s head too.
During the first period, Sui Yi placed her books on the table, her eyes paused slightly on Yhan Qingwu’s seat.
The bell for class rang.
There was still no one beside her, Sui Yi frowned.
Little Fatty Zhou turned his head, his mouth full of a meat bun, glancing at the spot next to Sui Yi, "Hey, why hasn’t the Goddess Yhan come yet, could it be that she’s stuck in traffic?"
"Sui Yi, do you know?"
"I don’t know," Sui Yi shook her head lightly, her heart adding silently, was it an illness?
Or...
Sui Yi connected this to some previously inexplicable feelings, suddenly feeling melancholic, just gazing out the window, exhaling softly.
When Huang Liang came in, his expression was somewhat gloomy, but he still cleared his throat and said, "I have a piece of news to announce to everyone..."
"Is it about the joint school exam, teacher!" Lan Yun joked.
"Yes, the rankings for this joint school exam have been released... out of the top hundred, our school has only nine students who made it, the worst among all schools!"
Ugh, a blanket of bad luck descended.
Every student’s face crumpled.
"However, fortunately, three of our students did give us something to be proud of... Yhan Qingwu is the number one in this joint school examination!"
Number one!
Number one among eight schools!
An academic prodigy, truly!
No, it should be goddess!
Cheers erupted from everyone.
Huang Liang pressed down his palms, "Another is Xiao Nan, ranked ninth, and the last one, Sui Yi, you are tenth. Although it’s the tenth position, you’re the fastest improver. Several school teachers have seen your exam results and are very impressed by your Chinese, math, and English, as in these subjects, your total score is the highest! It’s just a shame that your science comprehensive pulled you down, so you’ll need to solidify your foundation in science comprehensive in the future..."
Pausing, Huang Liang showed a smile, "Of course, I believe you can improve to this level from such poor science comprehensive scores in just two months... the future is promising."
The future is promising, huh?
Sui Yi propped her head with one hand, her smile faint.
Her smile was not deep.
And finally...
Huang Liang then said just one more sentence.
"There’s another piece of news, I need to tell you all..."
"Yhan Qingwu... she has transferred schools,"
The atmosphere suddenly cooled.
Utterly cold.
It was like the glaciers of Siberia had descended onto the Sahara Desert.
The bizarre swap of heat and cold made many people stiffen up for a moment.
Then, they all turned to look at Sui Yi in unison.
As the class had already designated Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu as best friends, naturally everyone looked at her.
Unfortunately, Sui Yi was already gazing out the window.
Her profile was soft, her eyes like colored glass.
------
The atmosphere at Second High School reached an all-time low.
It was even more depressing than the principal pulling several school couples to the playground for a fierce lecture on how shameful early romance was.
And even sadder than the daily shrinking countdown to the college entrance examination.
The number of boys sitting under trees or on benches in a daze reached its peak on this day.
Those unaware thought it was the recent exam that hit them hard.
And those who knew, could only know.
Yhan Qingwu, what kind of person is this girl?
Many had passed by her window pretending not to care, just to catch a glimpse of her profile, hence walking to the restroom back and forth more than a dozen times in one day, as if suffering from prostatitis...
And many others watched her back anxiously, secretly writing her name on snowy white paper or in the palm of their hands...
This girl, alighted on Second High’s delicate branch like a stunning swan, arriving faintly as thin as paper in the air.
This arrival also seemed to suggest...
One day, she would leave.
That day, came.
That day, after the campus bell rang, when many students picked up their bags and left, Sui Yi still stood by the window, quietly standing.
Her slender silhouette was elongated by the twilight, diagonally cutting through half the classroom...
Like the cruelest edge of time.
Eventually separating some people who had encountered each other by chance. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to recommend, vote, and support the author. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
