Li Molian said a lot from the podium, primarily about the content of tomorrowâs joint exam.
As for Ye Qiuâs appearance, she didnât seem to look at him once.
In her view, Ye Qiu, this poor student, was dispensable.
Because most teachers didnât like poor students, Li Molian was the same.
âSince itâs the same as the normal college entrance exam schedule, the Chinese test will be at nine tomorrow morning.
At that time, other schoolsâ teachers will also come to our school to invigilate.
If any cheating behavior is found, it will be reported to the whole school.
Now, start packing up your books and tidying up your desks.
Tomorrow, you will take the exam according to your student numbers.â
Due to the joint exam tomorrow, the students didnât need to stay in the classroom for the third period, and they didnât need to come to the school to study tonight.
After Li Molian finished speaking, she started to instruct the students to pack their books and store them in their desks, or place them at the front or back of the classroom.
After the students had packed all their books, Ye Qiu saw that Liu Lingxiu had already finished organizing and was asking him in sign language if they should go out together.
Ye Qiu responded with sign language, telling her he would walk her home.
As Ye Qiu was about to leave the classroom with Liu Lingxiu, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming looked at Ye Qiu and asked, âYe Qiu, where are you going?â
âIâm going to walk Liu Lingxiu home.â
Ye Qiu said.
What Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming didnât expect was that Ye Qiu was so quick to get close to the mute girl again.
Of course, the two of them knew that Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu had been friends in the class before.
Now, they thought Ye Qiu couldnât win over Su Luoluo, so he set his sights on Liu Lingxiu.
They thought Liu Lingxiu was also nice, but since she was a mute, they couldnât imagine living with a mute for the rest of their lives.
They didnât know what Ye Qiu was thinking, but they were just glad he was no longer chasing after Su Luoluo desperately.
As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, holding a study book called âFive Years of College Entrance Exams and Three Years of Mock Tests,â walked out of the classroom, Su Luoluo, who also picked up her own study book to review at home tonight, naturally saw them.
Seeing Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu leave together, without even glancing at her, she felt uncomfortable.
Just now, when Ye Qiu was reading a novel, Su Luoluo thought Ye Qiu was still the same as before and didnât care as much as she used to.
But seeing Ye Qiu leave with Liu Lingxiu, she felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
Ye Qiuâs No.
28 bicycle was under the teaching building, and he was going to ride it to take Liu Lingxiu home.
Although Liu Lingxiuâs uncle was a deputy director in the academic affairs office, she didnât live in the school dormitory but went home.
Because Liu Lingxiuâs parents were also locals from Jinling, living in the suburbs, she usually took the bus home, which took half an hour.
As Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked down the teaching building and reached his old bicycle, Ye Qiu saw that there was something wrong with it.
The bicycle looked intact, but both tires were punctured intentionally, and the valves were tampered with.
Ye Qiu looked around carefully and saw a few unruly boys in the distance laughing in their direction.
Although Ye Qiu suspected that those boys had sabotaged the bicycle, he had no evidence to prove it and didnât confront them for now.
When Liu Lingxiu used sign language to ask about the bicycle problem, Ye Qiu responded in sign language, âWe can only push it out to a bike repair shop to change the tires.â
Ye Qiuâs father had already replaced the tires on this bike many times, but Ye Qiu didnât want them to be ruined for no reason.
So, if he found out who did it, he would definitely give them a good beating.
As Ye Qiu pushed the bicycle toward the school gate, Liu Lingxiu walked beside him.
Because of this odd pairing, many students looked at them curiously.
Ye Qiu was well-known in Jiangbei No.
3 Middle School as a loser always chasing after the school beauty, Su Luoluo, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Meanwhile, Liu Lingxiu was very pretty and academically excellent, with an uncle as the deputy director of the academic affairs office.
But as a mute, she was also well-known in Jiangbei No.
3 Middle School.
So, seeing the two together with Ye Qiu pushing the bike, it naturally surprised many.
Su Luoluo came down from the classroom and saw Ye Qiu pushing the bike and walking side by side with Liu Lingxiu.
She felt an inexplicable emotion but didnât think much of it.
Seeing the young lady come down, Su Familyâs bodyguards followed her.
As they exited the school gate, the Su Familyâs butler drove a Mercedes over to pick her up.
Su Luoluo got into the Mercedes, and the Su Family butler drove the car past Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu.
At that moment, it really seemed like they were from two different worlds.
Ye Qiu knew Su Luoluo was inside the car, but he didnât look, as if he hadnât seen her.
Instead, he shielded Liu Lingxiu, making sure she wasnât hit by other vehicles.
Ye Qiu pushed the bicycle to a nearby repair shop outside the school gate.
The old man repairing bikes took one look at Ye Qiuâs old bicycle and was surprised after inspecting it.
This kind of bike was at least ten years old.
But now, the front and rear tires were punctured, which was a pity.
âSir, how much does it cost to replace both tires?â
Ye Qiu asked.
âOrdinary inner and outer tires cost forty-five yuan each, totaling ninety yuan for both.
The better ones cost seventy yuan each, totaling a hundred and forty yuan for both.â
Ye Qiu didnât expect even ordinary bike tires to be so expensive.
As he was about to take money out of his pocket, he found it empty and felt embarrassed.
He had no income, and he had refused the two hundred yuan Chen Fang previously gave him, leaving him with no money in his pocket.
The bike repairman seemed not to notice.
Ye Qiu was about to say he would bring the money tomorrow when the perceptive Liu Lingxiu took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Ye Qiu.
âLingshow, Iâll repay you tomorrow,â Ye Qiu said simply.
Because he would need to repay the bike repairman tomorrow anyway.
The old man began changing the tires, removing the inner and outer tubes.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu waited by the side.
The old man was very skilled and efficient.
In no time, he replaced the tires and pumped them up.
Ye Qiu helped pump air into the inner tubes and then handed the money to the old man.
The old man returned the change and said, âYour girlfriend is really nice!â
The bike repairman didnât know Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu, assuming they were a couple.
Ye Qiu didnât explain, and Liu Lingxiu, though blushing, didnât say anything.
She couldnât speak and feared that if the old man knew she was a mute, it might embarrass Ye Qiu.
