Chapter 159 We Meet Again
On the day the college entrance examination results were released, neither Jiang Ci nor Shen Xi found their scores.
By then, they had already returned to the capital. Not only were they not surprised by this outcome, but even the Jiang family did not find anything amiss.
Although Jiang Hui had the glorious title of "accompanying student" in the past few years, he rarely visited Yunxiaxiang. It was more accurate to say that his bodyguards accompanied him rather than Jiang Hui.
But none of this affected his belief that his children would achieve high scores.
Ms. Hua Lan, on the other hand, remained calm and continued eating snacks and drinking afternoon tea with Shen Xi, turning her head to continue discussing with her which brand of cosmetics was the best, whose jewelry was the most exquisite, or whose money was the easiest to make, and so on...
Ms. Hua Lan never shied away from discussing her family's business operations and power dynamics in front of Shen Xi.
She would even openly point out the role and function her family played in a situation when recounting something.
Jiang Hui never stopped him, and would even chime in from the sidelines when the opportunity arose.
Over time, even the servants of the Jiang family came to know that the Jiang family was paving the way for Miss Shen.
That day, while Shen Xi was taking the opportunity not to check her grades, Ms. Hua Lan asked her privately which school she wanted to attend.
Shen Xi answered without hesitation, "T University Academy of Fine Arts."
Hua Lan thought for only a few seconds, then said seriously,
"T University's Academy of Fine Arts generally only admits art students, and your academic scores are definitely more than enough..."
Shen Xi blinked at this moment, "Because a professor sent me an invitation, sincerely inviting me to T University, I want to further my painting skills."
They sat in the tea room, where the sweet aroma of flower tea filled the air.
Hua Lan smiled gently, her slender hands curving slightly as she picked up the cup. "Then I'll offer this tea in place of wine to congratulate Xi Xi on her success in the exam."
Shen Xi thanked her in the same way she did.
Later, Hua Lan called Jiang Ci into the tea room and subtly inquired about which school he wanted to attend.
Jiang Ci remained silent for three seconds before replying, "Q-da."
This surprised Hua Lan. She thought that, given her son's habit of sticking to Shen Xi for so many years, he would blindly choose Tsinghua University.
But T University didn't give him any choice; it was mostly filled with art students, so there was no use for him there.
He chose Q University, a top-tier national university. Although they were located far apart, he never considered giving up.
He bought a house not far from Tsinghua University, and he lives there.
I met Yan Ruo not long before the start of the semester.
Initially, they agreed to meet at a cat cafe. The kittens in the cat cafe were all very small, but they all looked like they had been filtered through a cute pet filter, and they were all beautiful cats.
Yan Ruo had changed a lot by this time; he had transformed into a stylish person who was no longer a high school student.
Similarly, Shen Xi felt that he had grown taller.
"Sister, Jiang Ci is here."
When Yan Ruo smiled, he revealed a set of bright white teeth, which were faintly visible when his gaze met Shen Xi's.
Jiang Ci gently waved his nose. The cat fur in this cat cafe was so fine that it was almost invisible. He twitched his nose.
There is cat hair.
"When did you guys get back to Beijing? You guys are so annoying, you never called me, and you were so slow to reply to my messages... But, thankfully you did come back."
We... meet again.
This was the first time we met after the college entrance exam results were released, and we both felt a little unfamiliar with each other.
A tall, 1.8-meter-tall boy with a bright, sunny smile, his white teeth and red lips gleaming, still held an innocent and pure smile in his eyes as he waved and looked over.
Shen Xi suddenly realized that this was probably the true meaning of rebirth.
Yan Ruo has shed his labels of immaturity, restraint, and timidity, revealing a completely new and vibrant life force.
A few Maine Coon cats wandered up to Shen Xi's feet in the cat café. Shen Xi bent down, petted them, and then let go.
"Give me a hug if you like."
Jiang Ci spoke in a calm tone.
Shen Xi looked up and smiled, her gaze lightly skimming the surface of Jiang Ci's slightly red nose. She then looked away, shook her head, and remained silent.
Are you still together?
Yan Ruo spoke casually with his legs wide open, and although he was asking a question, his tone was clearly one of affirmation.
"When have we ever broken up?"
Jiang Ci spoke calmly, believing that a person should develop in all aspects, unlike the short-sighted person opposite him who was all height and no brains.
Yan Ru muttered, "Who can beat you to it?"
"what?"
Shen Xi sat down and straightened her clothes. Not having heard what Yan Ruo said, she asked back in confusion.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I recently participated in a racing event, and there was a live broadcast of the race. You should definitely search for it when you get back, and you must come and watch my race next time."
He spoke fluently and became more and more excited as he talked. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "I haven't asked yet, where do you live? It's so troublesome if I don't know your address when I want to visit you. If we can't contact you later, I can always come to your house to visit you."
Shen Xi thought that the child had indeed changed a lot. Now he could openly ask people for their addresses instead of cowering in a corner to heal his wounds.
The coffee cup and spoon are stirred, making a crisp clinking sound.
Jiang Ci released his hand, leaned back casually, glanced at Yan Ruo, and gave her a place name.
"You can't get into the Jiang family's old house. There are guards at the gate who can't just let anyone in. Call them when the time comes."
Yan Ruo stared in disbelief, his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
"You...you're all so rich?"
This is not just a symbol of wealth, but also of power.
Who in an ordinary household would have police officers stationed at their door?
Without any real information in his mind, Yan Ruo's thoughts wandered aimlessly. Could it be that there's a general in the family?!
Fortunately, the child has always been easygoing. After all, his family is not short of money and lives in high society, so he is not surprised by such things.
Which schools did you all get into? Are we close to each other?
Yan Ruo's eyes were seeing stars, and she secretly hoped that she could be in the same school as them.
Shen Xi blinked. "I applied to the Art Department at T University."
Jiang Ci, expressionless, uttered, "Q University."
"Yay!!! Yes, yes!!! I knew it! Heaven wouldn't abandon me! Sister, no, Shen Xi, come and congratulate me! Heaven rewards those who persevere, and what you keep in mind will surely come to pass."
Yan Ruo grinned from ear to ear, his teeth practically popping out of his mouth. He clapped his hands together and said smugly, "Do you know which university I got into?"
Jiang Ci's right eyelid twitched suddenly.
The next second, the puppy across from me barked, "Shen Xi and I are in the same school, the same school!! Although we're not in the same major, so what? I can still get the moon first because I'm close to her!"
Jiang Ci's face darkened. He lowered his voice and asked with a cold look in his eyes, "Say it again, what are you doing taking advantage of your proximity?"
Yan Ruo was really excited. As the saying goes, a dog's belly can't hold two ounces of oil. Before long, he started rambling and said the wrong thing.
Upon hearing that chilling tone, he immediately covered his mouth, shook his head vigorously, and put on a fawning expression.
"Isn't it more convenient for my sister to play here?"
Luckily they weren't in the same school, otherwise it would be difficult to ask my sister out for a meal. Jiang Ci would follow Shen Xi around all day long, like a ghost, never leaving her side.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruo couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had indeed filled out the application well!
He clicked his tongue in satisfaction.
Jiang Ci looked at the scrambled patterns on his coffee and felt even more irritated.
Why is Q University so far away from T University?
Why build a university so far away? They might as well just go deep into the mountains and forests.
"Alright, you two brothers. Whenever you meet, you fight like chickens, neither of you willing to admit defeat until you're both cross-eyed."
Shen Xi's brows furrowed with deep helplessness.
"Who fought with him?"
"Who fought with him?"
The two of them refuted Shen Xi's words in unison.
"The capital city isn't that big, but it's not that small either. Why is it so difficult to see even one person?"
Yan Ruo spoke with a hint of melancholy, and he seemed to sigh in a deep, old-fashioned manner, but his appearance was quite mismatched with it.
"Who do you want to see? You've been thinking about this day and night, has your heart fallen for some girl?"
Shen Xi rested her chin on her hand with interest, gesturing for him to continue.
Who doesn't love gossip?
Jiang Ci looked at him indifferently, but seemed to have lowered his guard somewhat.
"Nobody, just a young girl from the racing team. I heard she's an amateur, and she comes here for a couple of laps now and then." Yan Ruo said with some regret, "I should have asked her for her contact information."
Shen Xi found the romance between these young people captivating; she deliberately acted mysteriously.
"What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force."
Yan Ruo huffed and puffed, refusing to believe that he would definitely see her again.
Shen Xi shrugged and shook her head. "Fine, whatever you say."
After chatting for a while, they went back to their own homes. The main reason was that Yanruo's racing training time had come, and it was not easy to train during the holidays now. After school started, there would be fewer opportunities to train in short bursts.
Yan Ruo cherishes the opportunity to train very much.
