Seeing that her mother wanted to know so much, Shi Niange said, “It’s because I like someone very much, but I don’t think he has any intention of getting a girlfriend. Besides, his character isn’t especially approachable. I just feel that sitting next to him in class is very motivating.”


  Mrs. Yang Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows. “Oh, a crush. You really have to experience everything you should have experienced in your youth. You didn’t miss a single one.”


  Shi Niange’s lips twitched. “You can’t say it’s a relationship……”


  Yang Zhenzhen took the opportunity to laugh at her. “All right, I’ll say it again. No matter if it’s in terms of feelings or interpersonal relationships, as long as you know what you’re doing, it’s fine. Mom and Dad won’t interfere with your freedom. Protect yourself well. Don’t cross the line that you shouldn’t cross. We won’t interfere with other matters.”


  Shi Niange picked up the new notebook and placed it in her bag. She then lifted her eyes to look at her. “Then, regarding whether I want to apply for the finance or medical department, don’t interfere, all right?”


  Her mother looked at her for a while and sighed. “Before we came back, your father and I had a deep discussion about this. You weren’t by our side since you were young. We can’t give you much. Our child has grown up healthy. We really shouldn’t force you. You decide.”


  Shi Niange nodded. Hearing these words, the only weight in her heart was lifted.

  The rest of the day was even longer than the first twenty days.

  She was so bored that she followed her parents to visit Shida Group’s company. The top floor of Shida Group was basically not accessible. She could enter it. It was filled with offices, but there were some recreational places on the rooftop such as bowling and swimming.

  She stayed inside for the whole day and looked at the time in boredom. She wished that the time would immediately jump to tomorrow morning.

  School would reopen tomorrow.

  Tomorrow.

  In the morning.

  She would be able to see Qin Siting!……

  The school term that she had been longing for finally started. Shi Niange woke up an hour earlier than usual. Although she still had to wear her school uniform, she specially got up to find Auntie Xiang to bring out the ironing machine. She ironed her clean school uniform neatly and put it on.

  Finally, it was time for her to leave. She went downstairs to pick up two pieces of bread and left. Her parents saw her anxious look and did not ask much. They just let her go.

  After getting into Uncle Qin’s car, she specially took a look at the time. When Uncle Qin saw her like this, he immediately smiled. As he started the engine, he said, “Young ladies nowadays, when they are in love, their eyes seem to have stars.”


  Where exactly was she in love?

  She just liked and admired him for no reason, okay? It was probably the kind of admiration a bad student would have for a genius.

  Was it that obvious?

  Regardless, it was clearly not important. What was important was that she could see Qin Siting today.

  Perhaps because she was looking forward to it too much, she had been worrying about whether Qin Siting would be on time or whether he would be busy or not. He was in his third year of high school and would not take leave unless there was something important, even many competitions were delayed. After all, revision for the college entrance examination was more important.

  She worried the whole way. When she reached the school entrance, she looked left and right when she got out of the car. She even glanced in the direction where she had met Qin Siting, but she did not see him.

  She then entered the school gates with all sorts of worries and entered the class.

  The moment she entered the class, she lowered her head to check on her school uniform. All of a sudden, she caught sight of a white figure and almost bumped into it. She jerked her head up. The moment she caught sight of the person in front of her, Shi Niange felt as though she had returned to the scene in the field when school reopen last semester.

  A clean and handsome young man dressed in a white shirt stood in front of her. As she walked with her head lowered, she almost bumped into him. He glanced at her indifferently.

  The moment she met Qin Siting’s gaze, Shi Niange’s expression turned from a little dazed to a happy one. Then, her heart that had been floating in the air seemed to instantly drop to the ground.

  He actually came earlier than her.

  When she saw his clothes, she turned to look at the others. “Why aren’t you wearing your school uniform?”


  Today was the first day of school. He should be wearing his school uniform.

  Qin Siting’s gaze was as calm as ever as it swept past her face. His voice was clear and cold, as though a clear spring had brushed past her ears. “I rushed the morning flight from Japan and arrived at school half an hour ago. I didn’t go back to retrieve my uniform.”


  “Ah.”


  He went to Japan?

  He wasn’t in the country these days?

  Then on her birthday, did he reply to her message in Japan?

  “Then what about your school uniform?” She paused for a moment and found a topic that allowed her to chat normally and calm down.

  “Someone will send it over. It’s almost here. I was just about to go get it.” Qin Siting glanced at the time and then at her. “You’re early.”


  Earlier on, Shi Niange had been worried that he would not come today. She was so worried that her palms were sweating, but on the surface, she appeared calm and composed. “That’s right. It’s the first day of school. Even if you’re a poor student, you have to show the attitude of a third-year student. Be more positive. Besides, early birds have meat to eat.”


  Qin Siting coldly raised his brows. “What meat?”


  What meat? Of course it’s your fat meat!

  Shi Niange smiled but did not speak. She smiled at him and went to her seat to sit down. When she saw Qin Siting’s bag by the side, the weight in her heart finally lifted.

  Previously, she was worried that during the new semester, the teacher might change everyone’s seats. She was also worried that Qin Siting would take this opportunity to sit elsewhere or request for her to change her seat.

  However, judging from his attitude and the backpack, he didn’t have such plans.

  When Zhao Xiaoqing and the others entered the classroom, it was almost seven o’clock. They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they had endless topics to talk about.

  Shi Niange did not participate in any of the topics. She sat in her seat and arranged the books neatly on the table. She then turned to look at Qin Siting’s bag and thought for a moment. She did not go through his bag too rashly. She only tidied up the books and papers on his desk. Looking at his handwriting, she felt that a good boy’s handwriting would definitely be good. This was the truth.

  When Qin Siting returned with his school uniform, he saw the neatly arranged books and papers on the table. He then glanced at the books arranged at the same angle.

  “Almighty Qin, Happy New Year!” Shi Niange turned to him and smiled radiantly.
