Chapter 175: Ye Tianxin’s 18th Birthday (2)
Ye Tianxin laughed. Li Xiaohui had studied hard during this period, and her grades had improved slightly.
Of course, it was unlikely that she would make it to a top university.
Li Xiaohui was not as hardworking as Ye Tianxin.
However, if she managed to do well in the exams, she could still go to a decent university.
“It is a pity that you are not the main female lead in an idol drama.”
Li Xiaohui rolled her eyes. Then, she reached out to tickle Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin laughed and ran away.
Their laughter could be heard throughout the school.
Their laughter was filled with vitality.
Ye Tianxin and Li Xiaohui ran into the cla.s.sroom. Ye Tianxin sat down at the empty seat beside Li Xiaohui and took out a sheet of paper and a pen to answer questions.
She opened her pencil case.
Inside her pencil case was the fountain pen Li Qingcang had gifted her. She took it out and examined it. She ran her fingers over the words ‘To Student, Li Qingcang’ that were carved on the pen.
She suddenly felt strange. Her heart throbbed. She felt uneasy.
Hold on!
Ye Tianxin…
Stop thinking about him.
Study hard.
‘If I study hard, I will see him again at Capital University,’ Ye Tianxin encouraged herself.
‘If I don’t make it to Capital University, I won’t have the heart to see him. I’ll be…ashamed.’
‘Give it your all, Ye Tianxin!’
‘Give it your all, Ye Tianxin!’
‘Give it your all, Ye Tianxin!’
After a little push, Ye Tianxin took out practice papers and a pen and began working on some papers. The questions were easy for her. However, she did not dare to underestimate them. She was afraid… She was afraid that she might fall short at the most crucial moment.
When the afternoon cla.s.ses were over, Ye Tianxin went home for lunch.
When she walked out of the school, she saw Jing Zhichen leaning against his car, waving at her like some guy from a dreamy movie scene. She was happy to see him.
“Tianxin.”
Ye Tianxin walked over to Jing Zhichen. “Elder Brother Jing, what are you doing here?” she greeted.
“It’s your birthday today. I’m here to celebrate your birthday with you and to give you a present.”
Jing Zhichen went into his car and brought out a newspaper. He handed it over to Tianxin. “Look at this. Do you know what is it?”
Ye Tianxin spread the newspaper and saw that there was a missing person column right on the first page of the newspaper.
“Is there any news?” Ye Tianxin asked, hoping for a positive answer.
Jing Zhichen shook his head. “There are too few viable leads. Furthermore, Grandmother and Grandaunt are both very old… This…this requires a miracle.”
Ye Tianxin still felt a little disappointed.
However, she had been expecting this.
“Then I shall pray for the heavens to give me a miracle.”
Jing Zhichen brought Ye Tianxin to the courtyard. Green nets surrounded the courtyard. Some workers were cleaning up the burnt wood at the scene.
“Tianxin the architect and the construction crew are already here. I have also prepared some of the materials. We are just waiting for you to start.”
Ye Tianxin and Jing Zhichen entered the little courtyard. Grandmother and her caregiver, as well as Guan Chenxi, were already there, waiting for Ye Tianxin.
“Grandmother, Elder Brother Jing is going to help us repair our home…”
Before this, Ye Tianxin had already discussed the design of the courtyard with the architect online. They had already settled on a design.
Ye Tianxin picked up the shovel and dug into the ground. The firecrackers were lit, and they burst noisily.
The reconstruction of the little courtyard had officially begun.
The construction team rented a place in town so Ye Tianxin wouldn’t have to worry about them. Guan Chenxi would keep an eye on the entire process. Ye Tianxin just had to study for the entrance examinations.
“Elder Brother Jing, you are so good to me. How am I going to repay you?”
