Chapter 288: Everyone’s Here
Ning Li ca out of the office, returned to the classroom, and went to Pei Song.
“Professor Zhu is asking for you.”
Pei Song had already expected this. He nodded and got up to leave.
The people in the class were not surprised.
Other than them, the top few students were also asked to see Professor Zhu one by one.
After Pei Song, it was Tan Ruiqun.
A girl turned around and asked.
“Jingxuan, you’ll be called later, right?”
Cao Jingxuan glanced towards the door.
“Not necessarily.”
Her best ranking had been sixth place in the first test. After that, she had gotten 8th and 9th place.
It was a rather awkward position.
It was not bad, but it was definitely not the top.
There were a limited number of places at Xijing University and Hua University, so she might not even qualify.
After she said this, she looked down and started doing more practice questions.
However, she was obviously not concentrating on it and would look up from ti to ti.
Two more boys were called in succession.
Cao Jingxuan gradually got a little anxious.
Although she was in a risky position, she did not know what she would do if she was not included.
She was even a student at Capital First High.
“Song ngtang,” The boy who ca back shouted.
Cao Jingxuan frowned slightly, but still held on to the last bit of hope.
After a while, Song ngtang also ca back.
However, she went straight to her seat without calling anyone.
Cao Jingxuan imdiately understood.
She had indeed not been included.
Cao Jingxuan was silent for a while. She then turned to look at Ye Ci.
“Ye Ci, the winter camp officially ends tomorrow. Are you going straight back to Yunzhou?”
Ye Ci shook her head.
She had lost a lot of weight during her ti here. The dark circles under her eyes were heavy and her face was much paler.
Her haggardness was extrely visible.
“My mother and brother ca to pick up…and Sister Ning Li,” Ye Ci said.
This was what they had discussed at the very beginning.
After Ye Ci had gotten the results of her last two exams, she actually did not want them to co. However, she could not think of any reason to persuade them otherwise.
Moreover, since she had cried on the phone the other day, Su Yuan had been very distressed and insisted on coming over in person.
Chinese New Year was almost here, so Ye Ming was very busy at the office and could not follow along.
However, Ye Cheng had made a fuss early on and wanted to co to the Capital, so Su Yuan had brought him with her.
“That’s nice,” Cao Jingxuan said, “The training is over, so you should relax and unwind. Why don’t I show you around Capital First High and the Capital?”
Ye Ci hesitated for a mont.
“Um… Why don’t you ask Sister Ning Li as well?”
“Okay.”
Cao Jingxuan went to Ning Li and talked to her about it.
“Since it’s rare for you guys to co to the capital, why don’t you stay for a day or two…”
“There’s no need.” Ning Li interrupted her. “Didn’t Ye Ci tell you that I’m not going back with them?”
“Huh?” Cao Jingxuan was a little surprised.
‘Aren’t they a family and aren’t they living together? The family ca to pick them up, but Ning Li isn’t going back with them…’
Seeing Ning Li’s cold attitude, Cao Jingxuan also had the sense not to continue. She smiled and said, “That’s fine, next ti then. Feel free to call whenever you co to the Capital! I can be your tour guide.”
Ning Li did not say anything.
Although Ning Li was not from the Capital, that did not an that she was not familiar with the place.
Cao Jingxuan felt a little awkward and did not say anything else. She turned around and walked away.
…
The next day, everyone left the school.
Sun Qingyi and several other teachers of Capital First High sent the students away.
Those who were going to the airport were grouped together, and those who were taking the high-speed rail were in another group.
Those like Cao Jingxuan, who lived in the Capital, had families to pick them up.
Dormitory 202.
Song ngtang had gone to the airport early in the morning.
Cao Jingxuan was moving her suitcase downstairs.
She did not have a lot of things, so she moved her things down quickly.
Ye Ci’s suitcase was also packed, and she was sitting at her spot. “Mom, are you guys in the car now? Okay, I’ll wait for you guys at school.”
After hanging up, she looked at Ning Li.
“Sister Ning Li, Mom and Lil Cheng will be here in another hour or so. Are you really not coming with us?”
Her eyes swept over Ning Li’s black suitcase.
Since they had arrived at the Capital, Ye Ci did not even know what Ning Li had packed in that suitcase.
Ning Li had never opened it in front of them.
Ning Li leaned back in her chair and gave a faint “mm”. She got up, packed so small items on the table into her backpack, and carried her suitcase downstairs.
There were several cars parked at the dormitory building.
Cao Jingxuan was standing by a white car.
Seeing Ning Li coming down with her luggage, she waved at Ning Li.
“Ning Li, where are you going? I can give you a ride!”
Ning Li pulled up her down jacket hood.
“No thanks.”
“You don’t have to be so polite. You have so much stuff and it’s so heavy, so it’ll be easier to take a car.”
Before Ning Li had ti to speak, a cold and aloof voice ca from the side. “Where are you heading? I’ll drop you off.”
It was Pei Song.
Ning Li looked over.
There was a car parked behind him.
That was probably his family from the Capital that had co to pick him up.
Pei Song looked down and extended his hand.
“Give your suitcase.”
Ning Li was about to refuse when she heard a loud honk.
Everyone looked over.
It was an extrely flashy red Maserati sports car.
Gu Siyang poked his head out from inside.
“Ning Li! I’ve co to pick you up!”
Ning Li fell into silence as she looked at the extrely expensive supercar with an ultra-low chassis and smooth curves but really only had two seats.
Beep!
Another white SUV drove in from behind.
Yu Pingchuan got out of the car, looked at Gu Siyang, and then at Ning Li.
“Lili? Your friend ca to pick you up?”
Ning Li was speechless.
Beep!
Another black Panara slowly drove up and stopped next to the two cars.
A handso, elegant, and tall figure got down from the passenger side.
Lu Huaiyu looked at the situation and raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes lingered on Pei Song’s outstretched hand for a mont before he chuckled and said, “Wow, everyone’s here!”
