That night, Jian Chi didnât sleep well, because he had already rested in Shen Shutingâs office, and he was worried that Shen Shuting would suddenly come in and take revenge. He slept intermittently until the morning, then Jian Chi sat in the classroom, unable to hold back a few yawns.
âDid you sleep last night?â
Zhang Yang saw Jian Chiâs sleepy appearance as if he had discovered a new world, and teased: âEven if you have to take a mock test in two weeks, you donât need to review to this level, know to balance work and rest, Teacher Jian.â
Jian Chi felt a pain in his back when he heard the words âknow to balance work and restâ, recalling that Ji Huaisi made a high-sounding proposal while doing things that were completely inconsistent with it, and he did not deny Zhang Yangâs misunderstanding, âSo you have already reviewed it?â
Zhang Yangâs smile froze and collapsed.
In two weeks, there will be a mock test. After practicing the HSST tests, the teacher will estimate the ranking of each student based on this score. However, they heard that it was not very accurate. Often the final score will be much higher than the mock test, so they didnât have to worry too much.
That being said, most people have entered an intense review for this mock exam, which was also the penultimate exam of their high school career. At this time, even the group of people who were always hanging around, not sure whether they were here to learn, also started to study. The infectious atmosphere made the teachers who were angry in the past feel gratified.
Jian Chi was no exception.
On the way to the study room, he met Shao Hang unsurprisingly. During this period of time, he would âsquatâ there almost every day, and Jian Chi occasionally managed to avoid it, and occasionally had to bring this oil bottle. Today, Zhang Yang went to experience balancing work and rest through âescapeâ. Wen Chuan also happened to have a class and couldnât leave, so Jian Chi had no cover. After being discovered by Shao Hang, he could only reluctantly choose the latter.
Not seeing the other two annoying people, Shao Hang was in a good mood. He clasped Jian Chiâs hand with his five fingers. This movement had become more and more proficient. âWhy didnât you reply to the message I sent you yesterday?â
Jian Chi took out his mobile phone with the other hand, and sure enough, an unread message was sent around 5 oâclock in the afternoon yesterday. Shao Hang asked him to go to BCâs canteen for dinner, and attached a photo. Jian Chi recognized that the bag on the table was a gift he was going to give to Shao Hang on his birthday, but due to a later accident, the gift could not be sent out. The bag also disappeared.
âSomeone found this bag while cleaning the villa,â Shao Hang lifted the paper bag in his hand and shook it, âI havenât opened it yet, I wanted to open it in front of you yesterday, but you didnât come after I waited for two hours. â
It sounded like faint resentment, and Jian Chi suddenly felt guilty. At five oâclock, he should be sleeping in Shen Shutingâs office, or taking a shower, completely ignoring the time. After returning, he didnât have the heart to check his phone. If Shao Hang didnât mention it now, it would have taken him longer to find this text message.
âI took a nap yesterday and didnât see any messages.â
âYou slept until the night?â
Jian Chi coughed lightly, âHave you not opened the gift yet?â
His changing of topic was not very skilled, but Shao Hang said âtskâ then reluctantly replied, âNo.â
On this point, he was inexplicably obedient.
After closing the door of the independent study room, Shao Hang put the paper bag on the table, and when he raised his eyes, he suppressed his eager anticipation, as if he didnât care what was in the bag at all.
Jian Chi didnât expose Shao Hangâs disguise. In fact, the moment he saw the photo, he had the idea of taking the gift back. It was obviously because of his bad luck that he had to give Shao Hang a gift in return. However, Jian Chi soon realized that this was just a childish and angry idea. The gift in the bag was originally prepared for Shao Hang, and taking it back would not change everything that had happened, nor would it make any sense.
Might as well help make it an unforgettable birthday for Shao Hang.
This sentence allowed Shao Hang to get the final permission. He tore the seal of the bag and took out a thick notebook and a wooden box. He first picked up the notebook, raised his eyebrows and smiled, âWould it be a love letter you wrote to me?â
Jian Chi wanted to paste the book on Shao Hangâs face, âYou open it and look at it before you talk.â
Shao Hang turned the first page, then the smile on his lips stopped, his eyes fixed on the paper, and after a long time, an unbelievable voice came out of his teeth: ââŚthe first section of advanced mathematics?â
âI remember that out of all your subjects, math was the worst.â Jian Chi sat down and knocked on the cover of the notebook, âthere are notes of advanced mathematics for the whole year of senior three. I have given corresponding questions for each unit, and you canât find the answer on the internet. It is enough for you to do slowly. Turn to the last page.â
âIs it a love letter?â
Jian Chi destroyed Shao Hangâs fantasy: âItâs a free economics reading list, your economic performance is also terrible.â
Shao Hang wanted to throw this book far away, but he was reluctant and couldnât bear it. He could only control the strength in his hands. It didnât look like he was disappointed but not happy. After grinding his back molars, âThis is my gift?â
The voice fell and the lonely wooden box on the table broke into his field of vision. At this time, Shao Hang no longer had his initial expectations, instead, it was replaced by vigilance. Jian Chi pursed his lips and held back his smile, âYou can open it.â
As the lid of the wooden box was opened, Shao Hangâs eyes paused slightly, and Jian Chi took out the things and compared Shao Hangâs wrist. At that time, he bought it based on feeling, not knowing whether the size was big enough or not, but fortunately his feeling was accurate, it was just right.
This was a bracelet made up of twelve small-leaf rosewood beads, each bead was full and round, with a beautiful luster. Shao Hang put it on the wrist of his left hand, and his hand with well-defined knuckles contrasted with the dark bead, which had a wonderful harmony and temperament.
âWhy did you buy this?â
âItâs very suitable for you,â Jian Chi said. âWhen you want to lose your temper, just look at this string of Buddha beads. Donât be impulsive, either with your mouth or with your hands, although you have this strengthâŚbut sometimes, restraint and patience are also good choices.â
Shao Hang didnât speak for a long time, staring at the Buddha beads on his wrist, it was dark and unclear, and suddenly he pulled out a smile, âAm I really that hateful?â
âYou are sometimes annoying now.â Jian Chi replied.
âIt seems that you are really not afraid of me.â
Shao Hang squeezed Jian Chiâs chin with the hand wearing the Buddha bead, looking pitiful. He smiled playfully in retrospect, âWhen you first saw me, you hid. You refuted anything I said. You could only hold it in when you got angry. Every time I teased you like this, your reaction was very interesting.â
Jian Chi didnât think it made any sense, âDo you want me to be afraid of you?â
âI donât,â Shao Hang lowered his head and kissed Jian Chi, whispering, âI like this gift very much, I will wear it every day in the future, but that notebookâŚâ
âIf you donât like it, you can not look at it.â Jian Chi originally didnât have the idea of having Shao Hang change his ways overnight. He had already made a copy, so he could send a copy to Zhang Yang and Wen Chuan, and have them use it appropriately.
Shao Hang curled the corner of his lips, âIn addition to this, I want to apply for an additional gift, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to have it approved.â
This way of speaking made Jian Chi feel a little odd, âWhat gift? â
âIn the future, you will give me a reward for every improvement I make.â
Shao Hangâs voice contained a deep smile.
âFor example, a kiss, a handwritten love letter.â
It sounded as if Shao Hang was still haunted by the fact that the notebook was for his subjects rather than a love letter.
Jian Chi was going to tell him not to dream about it, but Shao Hang interrupted him: âI mean seriously, which university do you want to go to?â
âBoros University.â Jian Chi replied subconsciously. This was his goal that had not changed from beginning to end.
âFrom now on, it is also my goal,â said Shao Hang.
