After sitting outside for a while and thinking quietly, Xu Qing finally understood why Xu Jin had been so calm since the end of the exam, unlike Xu Shi 'an and Monkey who were jumping up and down.
She only had one goal from the beginning to the end. She wanted to pass the passing mark. In the end, she only needed to look at the number of people who reported and their rankings. If she was unlucky, she would have to start all over again. She was confident that the next time would be better.
For someone whose goal was the sea of stars, a small setback in the middle was not worth mentioning. The college entrance exam could not stop her.
Xu Shi 'an was trying his best and adding some luck. She was improving every day. There was indeed a difference between people.
The door to Xu Shi 'an's room was tightly shut. Xu Qing pondered for a while, then sneaked over and put his ear to the door to see what the kid and Xiaoxiao were doing inside.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xu Jin came out to eat a popsicle and saw Xu Qing sneakily sticking to the door.
"Shh …"
Xu Qing got up and turned away. He said unhappily, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have made the soundproofing so good. He can't hear anything."
Xu Jin had a strange expression. "What do you want to hear?"
"These two have been together since they were young. Of course I'm worried. What if … you know?"
"…"
Xu Jin covered her forehead. She took out a popsicle from the fridge and tore it open. She looked at Xu Qing's old father's expression and felt a little helpless.
"Why don't I ask Xiaoxiao first?" she said.
“？”
Xu Qing tilted his head. There was such a thing?
"You guys talk about everything?" he couldn't help but ask.
"She definitely won't tell the truth. But as long as you ask, you can get a general idea from her reaction."
Xu Jin sat cross-legged on the sofa and said casually. Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao were too simple.
If there was, Xiaoxiao would be shy and anxious. If there wasn't, she would be shy and angry. As for Xu Shi 'an, it was even simpler. He just needed to see if he scratched his butt. If he did, he would definitely be lying.
Jiang He was the same. When he was in the wrong, he would clench his fists to show his strength and try to forcefully end the conversation.
Only Xu Qing … Xu Jin glanced at his father. Xu Qing seemed to be able to talk nonsense at any time.
"Dad, what does my mom do?"
"Your mom runs a flower shop."
"I mean in the past, who didn't know that she ran a flower shop?" Xu Jin pursed his lips. Xu Qing was doing it on purpose. "Can't you just tell me the truth?"
"I told you, but you didn't believe me." Xu Qing laughed and said, "Your mother is a one-in-a-million martial arts master and a country bumpkin. She's fascinated by the modern city and doesn't want to go back."
"Then how did she fall for you?"
"Who knows … Maybe it's because I'm handsome. She shamelessly insisted on marrying me, and if I didn't marry her, she would beat me hard. I couldn't beat her, so I could only endure the humiliation and train hard, hoping that one day I could beat her."
"Go write your novel." Xu Jin didn't want to talk to him anymore.
The two of them casually chatted in the living room. Xu Jin went online and submitted his application form. Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao came out of the room. Xiaoxiao was still avoiding Xu Qing's gaze.
She couldn't help it. They were too familiar with each other. She had called him godfather since she was young, and now she suddenly confessed … Although she already knew it, she was still not used to it.
"Sister, is my girlfriend pretty?" Xu Shi 'an was beaming with joy.
"This is your sister," Xu Jin said without raising his head.
"My girlfriend!"
"Your sister."
"I …"
Xu Shi 'an was angry. He had never called Xiaoxiao his sister.
"Dad, send him to the orthopedics department," Xu Jin said to Xu Qing.
Xiaoxiao's face was already red, as if steam was going to come out of her in the next moment. The mental preparation she had made before was completely useless. This Xu Jin was too bad.
"Alright, alright. You know that your sister is single, but you're still walking around here. Be careful that she doesn't hit you."
"I have a free voucher."
Xu Shi 'an was extremely proud. This thing was useful and gave him confidence.
After graduating from high school, he got good grades with Xiaoxiao. It could be said that this was the best he had in the past ten years. If he didn't show off now, when would he?
His tail was up to the sky.
When they returned to school a few days later, the others were either disappointed or happy. Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao were also happy, but they restrained themselves. Only Xu Jin was normal, which made people feel that she had failed the exam.
The homeroom teacher was very happy. Not only did Xu Shi 'an perform exceptionally well, but Xu Jin was also as stable as ever. These two children were very comforting.
"That guy who got full marks in English was really just a matter of luck. He was also biased towards other subjects. His total score was not as high as yours." When he saw that Xu Jin was not obviously happy, he thought that Xu Jin was disappointed that she did not get the top scorer in a single subject, so he could not help but comfort her.
"I know." Xu Jin smiled and nodded. In fact, she really did not care.
"Well, actually … sigh."
Old Wu saw her expression and did not say anything more. His gaze turned to Xu Shi 'an and Xiaoxiao.
"Teacher Wu, this is my girlfriend." Xu Shi 'an chuckled. He was extremely despicable.
"Teacher Wu." Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment. She had always used siblings to fool Old Wu.
Now that they had graduated and returned to school as boyfriend and girlfriend, there was an inexplicable feeling. They had accompanied each other here for three years and had a battle of wits with the homeroom teacher.
"I knew it a long time ago. What kind of siblings hold hands every day after school?" Old Wu snorted. Did they really think that he was stupid?
"This younger sister is closer to me than my biological sister."
"Isn't that because she always hits me?" Xu Shi 'an glanced at Xu Jin.
"She deserves to be hit!"
Although it was a joke, it could not wash away the faint sadness of graduation season.
Old Wu remembered that when he took over their first class, Xu Jin and Xu Shi 'an were called out. For some reason, he felt that they were siblings, and they should be siblings.
Later on, he found out that they were siblings, but it was the same.
After graduating from high school, they would go their separate ways. It might be the last time they would talk face to face. The future was long, and it was unknown when they would meet again.
This was especially true for Ah Qing. He waited at the school gate and used his phone to contact Xu Shi 'an. He wanted to have another meal with his good friend.
The siblings and Xiaoxiao came out of the school. Ah Qing was in a daze for a moment. Since elementary school, the three of them had been inseparable.
He had always been the one who drifted away. The only connection between them was Xu Shi 'an. It was like that in the past, and it would be even more so in the future.
"How did your exams go?"
"Didn't I say earlier? 545!" Xu Shi 'an gave him a light punch. "What about you?"
"Not bad." Ah Qing smiled. His gaze drifted over them.
"Which school did you get into?" Xu Jin asked.
Ah Qing was stunned. He grinned and said, "Not bad. I want to go to Nanyi Arts, but I don't know if I can make it."
He paused. In the end, he did not ask, "What about you?" He did not need to ask to know that the difference between the two of them was huge.
Xu Shi 'an and Ah Qing left together. Xu Jin and Xiaoxiao did not join them. They walked to the flower shop.
"I think he might have a crush on you," Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
"Why can't he have a crush on you?" Xu Jin asked.
"I …"
Xiaoxiao was stunned. She said angrily, "How is that possible!"
"If he has a crush on you, then so be it. You can't beat him up. Our family has always been reasonable."
Xu Jin flexed his wrists.
"What's with Shi 'an's free ticket?" Xiaoxiao threw the matter with Ah Qing to the back of her mind. She was doubtful about this "reasonable."
"It's also part of being reasonable. If it wasn't reasonable, why would there be such a thing?"
“？？”
Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she also felt that something was wrong.
"By the way, which step are you and Shi 'an at now?" Xu Jin asked casually.
"What do you mean?"
Xiaoxiao was still wondering where the problem was. This "reasonable" was a little different from what she saw in the dictionary.
"Did that guy bully you?"
"How dare he bully me …" Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something was wrong. She tilted her head and saw Xu Jin's gaze. She could not help but feel embarrassed. "What do you mean bully!"
"So you were bullied by him? I have to think of a way to beat him up. "
"No way! Xiao Jin, you're too much! "Xiaoxiao was angry and did not want to talk to Xu Jin.
There was nothing between the two of them …
Oh, at most, he would touch Qing Zhu a little. It was just that he was pitiful because he was usually bullied by Xu Jin.
In fact, he was also itching for a beating. He liked the feeling of death accompanying him like the wind.
