Chapter 59: Exam?
Brought back to the second-floor classroom by Leng Qing Qiu, she returned to her long-lost seat.
The trash can behind her still stank unbearably, causing Lu Zhiyin to frown involuntarily.
She looked out the window, Long Qinxin, who had just asked for her address, in her mind.
“Huuu…”
Shaking her head and taking a deep breath, Lu Zhiyin reached into the desk compartment.
She took out her house key from her backpack and clenched it, feeling much more at ease.
At least she wouldn’t have to live at Leng Qing Qiu’s place anymore, right?
Thinking this, she remembered the news she had just gotten from Leng Qing Qiu, and her previously settled heart was once again troubled.
“…”
If there were exams, she remembered there were only four subjects in the game.
Chinese, Mathematics, History, and Science.
Among these four subjects, Math was basically the same as in the real world, so Lu Zhiyin didn’t find it troublesome. Science was a combination of chemistry, physics, biology, etc. Although there was a foundation, it still gave her a headache.
As for Chinese and History… these two subjects were the most troublesome. Lu Zhiyin knew very little about the history of this world, and the texts and various poems in this world would likely be quite different from her original world.
In short, Lu Zhiyin had no confidence in the exams.
“If I fail, it probably won’t be a big deal…”
She could only comfort herself like this.
After all, the “her” in this world had no family, and if she failed the exam, no one would scold her. As for the school teachers, they never liked her much anyway, so it didn’t matter?
Despite thinking this, Lu Zhiyin couldn’t help but complain about Leng Qing Qiu in her heart.
Why didn’t you tell me about the exam in advance? If I had known earlier, I probably wouldn’t be so clueless right now if I had studied a bit of history and Chinese.
“…Why didn’t you tell me earlier that there would be an exam…”
Turning her head, she looked at Leng Qing Qiu, who was sitting upright and reading quietly. Lu Zhiyin poked her arm and complained in a low voice.
“…”
Sensing the subtle movement of the girl beside her, Leng Qing Qiu put down her book, and the girl’s pretty face, filled with a hint of resentment, entered her sight.
Her cheeks were slightly puffed out, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was a bit too cute.
“Cough cough.”
Coughing twice, she looked at the girl in front of her, and the thought of breaking her skin and watching her blood flow on her skin resurfaced.
This thought cannot be entertained anymore, she told herself. Her childhood friend had not recovered yet, and she could not bother her at least for this week.
“Why?”
Looking at Leng Qing Qiu in front of her, Lu Zhiyin asked again.
“Because I forgot, I just remembered this morning.”
Quickly adjusting her mindset, Leng Qing Qiu touched Lu Zhiyin’s shoulder.
A strange thought suddenly popped into her mind. She lifted Lu Zhiyin from the wheelchair and placed her on her lap.
It was only when she held Lu Zhiyin in her arms that she realized something was amiss. This was not her home, and she shouldn’t be doing something so out of line.
“You, what are you doing?”
Lu Zhiyin’s body was a bit stiff. She didn’t know what was wrong with Leng Qing Qiu again, why she suddenly hugged her.
Slowly turning her head, Lu Zhiyin looked around the classroom. It was still early, and besides her and Leng Qing Qiu, there was no one else in the classroom.
Relieved, she thought it was good that no one was around. She didn’t know how long she would spend in this school, so it was better not to be conspicuous.
Thinking this, Lu Zhiyin slowly relaxed.
After holding Lu Zhiyin for a while longer, Leng Qing Qiu put her back into the wheelchair.
“So, what’s wrong with you?”
Back in her proper place, Lu Zhiyin asked Leng Qing Qiu again.
“I don’t know.”
She really didn’t know what was wrong with her.
Facing each other in silence, the two of them fell into a long silence.
Meanwhile, outside the classroom, Long Qinxin squatted down, leaning against the corridor wall, extending her hand and looking at her palm.
“…Are they really friends?”
She saw Leng Qing Qiu holding Lu Zhiyin in her arms and Lu Zhiyin’s embarrassed and annoyed expression, but she didn’t see Lu Zhiyin resisting at all.
Was such an intimate act something friends would do? Long Qinxin didn’t know.
Since her parents had an accident, she had no friends. Well… most of her friends from a long time ago weren’t sincere either, so she had never gotten close to anyone.
She felt a tickle in her heart, unsure if it was envy or jealousy.
Long Qinxin could tell that the person named Leng Qing Qiu disliked her. What about Lu Zhiyin? Would her light also dislike her?
Long Qinxin didn’t know, and she didn’t dare to speculate.
She dejectedly returned to her classroom and sat in her seat.
However, the scene of Leng Qing Qiu holding Lu Zhiyin in her arms kept replaying in her mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
Distractedly, she took out her textbook, but Long Qinxin had no mood to read.
Looking around, there was no one else in the classroom except her, and she gradually felt a sense of loneliness and isolation.
In a daze, the light that illuminated her seemed to be moving farther and farther away from her.
Long Qinxin found it difficult to accept.
“Classmate Zhiyin…”
Clenching her fingers, she stood up again, left the classroom, and went into the corridor.
She decided to transfer to Lu Zhiyin’s class.
After finally meeting someone who didn’t discriminate against her, Long Qinxin truly, truly didn’t want to let go.
She didn’t want to return to the bottomless abyss of being ignored anymore.
“Huuu…”
Taking a deep breath, after not interacting with people for a long time, she felt a little uneasy about meeting the class teacher.
But soon, the longing for light in her heart suppressed her unease.
Walking alone in the corridor, Long Qinxin’s steps were slow but surprisingly firm.
Outside the corridor, the rain seemed to be getting heavier, and the wind howled, carrying the rain into the corridor and wetting the floor.
The corridor was very dim, and coupled with the sound of rain and wind, the long corridor seemed a bit eerie.
Long Qinxin eventually arrived at the office, and when she reached the office door, a large part of the fabric on her shoulder was already wet from the rain.
“Report.”
Pushing the door open, Long Qinxin’s eyes fell upon the brightly lit office and the teachers chatting casually at their desks.
Long Qinxin slowly walked up to her class teacher, an old woman who, like the other young teachers, didn’t think much of Long Qinxin.
“What is it?”
Noticing Long Qinxin’s arrival, the old woman’s smiling face quickly turned grim.
Long Qinxin had seen this expression many times before, so she had gradually gotten used to it.
“I want to transfer to Class Two.”
As she finished speaking, her class teacher’s face first showed surprise, then a smile appeared.
In contrast, the expression of another middle-aged teacher in the classroom stiffened.
“Okay, sign these forms, and after the exam today, you can go to Class Two tomorrow.”
Efficiently taking out several forms and a black pen, the class teacher handed them to Long Qinxin.
