Ye Qiu was not affected by Zhang Wei.
He read a novel during the evening self-study, and when it ended at 10:30 PM, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked downstairs from the teaching building.
If it were the Ye Qiu before the car accident, Su Luoluo would walk in front, with Ye Qiu silently following behind, always escorting Su Luoluo to the outside of the school gate, waiting for the Su Familyâs housekeeper to drive over and pick her up.
However, since the car accident, Su Luoluoâs parents had assigned her four bodyguards to protect her.
Now, when Su Luoluo went out, those four bodyguards followed behind her.
Su Luoluo saw Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu coming down from the teaching building.
Ye Qiu was pushing his old-style bicycle, chatting and laughing with Liu Lingxiu as they headed to the school gate.
When they reached the school gate, Liu Lingxiu climbed onto the rear carrier of the bicycle and then directly hugged Ye Qiuâs waist.
Ye Qiu rang the bell and then headed towards Liu Lingxiuâs home.
Watching this scene, Su Luoluo stared at them in a daze, not knowing why she felt a sense of loss that she only now understood the value of.
Perhaps, the old Ye Qiu had once been worthless in her eyes, but ever since Ye Qiu started hanging out with the talkative Liu Lingxiu or even with the daughter of the deputy mayor, Su Luoluo realized Ye Qiu wasnât worthless.
She just hadnât seen Ye Qiuâs value.
Now that Liu Lingxiu tightly hugged Ye Qiuâs waist, it made her feel very secure.
Previously, when she took the last bus home late at night by herself, she would always be worried about her safety.
But now, it was completely different.
âYe Qiu, the joint exam results will be out tomorrow.
Can you really beat me?â
âOf course.
Otherwise, I wouldnât have bet with you.â
âI donât believe you.â
Although Liu Lingxiu felt the change in Ye Qiu, she still couldnât believe his grades had improved that much.
According to her evaluation of this joint exam, her total score would be at least 620 points.
If Ye Qiu wanted to beat her, she thought he would need at least 630 points.
Of course, in Liu Lingxiuâs eyes, if Ye Qiu could score 400 points, it would already be a significant improvement and could be considered as winning against her.
âYouâll know by tomorrow.â
Ye Qiu said.
After dropping Liu Lingxiu at her house, her parents were waiting for her.
Seeing Liu Lingxiu getting off Ye Qiuâs bicycle, they were finally at ease.
Ye Qiu greeted Liu Lingxiuâs parents and then rode his bike back to the congee and noodle shop.
Watching Ye Qiuâs figure, Liu Lingxiuâs parents both felt that Ye Qiu was a really nice young man, but his grades were too poor.
They were always worried that if Ye Qiu got too close to Liu Lingxiu, he might affect her studies and college entrance exam.
Ye Qiu returned to the congee and noodle shop around midnight.
This time, he came back relatively late.
When he parked his bicycle at the entrance, he saw Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Ye Xue busy working, and he felt they were working too hard.
Originally, he wanted to change his familyâs situation as soon as possible so that the three of them wouldnât have to work so hard, but Ye Weidong didnât really believe in Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu knew he couldnât rush things.
âYe Qiu, itâs so late.
Are you hungry?
Sister will make you a bowl of noodles.â
âSis, Iâm not hungry.â
Having such a beautiful, sweet, and caring sister made Ye Qiu really happy.
At least, he had one more person who cared about him compared to being in Heaven.
When Ye Qiu wanted to help, Chen Fang and Ye Xue didnât need his help.
They told him to go rest early and go back to school to study early the next day.
Although they didnât have high hopes for Ye Qiuâs college entrance exam, they still hoped he could get a good grade.
So, Ye Qiu didnât stay any longer.
He went back to the dormitory of the old textile factory, took a bath, returned to his room, and continued his cultivation of the Primordial Five Emperors Technique.
The next morning, Ye Qiu woke up early.
Around seven, he washed up, went to the congee and noodle shop to eat the breakfast Ye Xue prepared for him, and then prepared to go to Liu Lingxiuâs house.
âMom, Sis, the joint exam results will be out this morning.â
âLet us know your scores when you come back.â
In the past, after each exam, parents had to sign both the test papers and the report cards.
It was the schoolâs way of getting parents to supervise their children and also to motivate some students and parents.
Every time Ye Qiu brought back his test papers for Ye Weidong to sign, Weidong would get angry because Ye Qiuâs scores were so poor.
But Weidong couldnât bring himself to beat him with a stick.
So later, Weidong stopped signing Ye Qiuâs papers and let Chen Fang sign them instead.
And for parent-teacher meetings, Weidong always made Chen Fang attend because he felt it was embarrassing in front of other parents.
Ye Qiu rode his bike to Liu Lingxiuâs house, where she was already waiting for him.
âYe Qiu, next time, donât ride your bike here.
Itâs too tiring for you.
Iâll just take the bus.â
Liu Lingxiu said caringly.
Her words naturally showed that she cared about Ye Qiu very much.
She felt sorry for him having to come and go.
Of course, she also hoped that Ye Qiu would continue to pick her up every day, both to and from school.
âItâs okay.â
For the current Ye Qiu, this distance was nothing, and it even helped him strengthen his once weak body.
With Liu Lingxiu on the bike, Ye Qiu rode towards Jiangbei No.
3 Middle School.
The joint exam results indeed came out last night.
Of course, compared to before, the way joint exams were scored had changed a lot.
It used to be manually graded, which was troublesome.
But now, with answer sheets, multiple-choice questions were scanned and graded by computer.
The remaining fill-in-the-blank questions, short answers, and essays still needed manual grading, but the overall process was quicker, especially with teachers working overtime.
This joint exam included nearly fifteen thousand senior high school students from forty-five provincial and municipal key high schools, almost half the students in Jinling.
These were Jinlingâs best high school seniors, so how they performed in the joint exam would generally indicate how they would do on the college entrance exam.
Last night, the Chinese, math, and comprehensive exam results were out, leaving only the English results to be released this morning since English was the last subject.
But even with just the Chinese, math, and comprehensive scores, the rankings had already surprised the teachers and administrative leaders of all the key high schools in Jinling.
