After Song Qinian finished seeing Song Guanliang, the day of crossing the single-plank bridge with a thousand troops arrived. To accompany Song Jiashu to the exam, Song Qinian took two days off.
"ID, admission ticket, water, watch, tissues, all brought? Nothing left behind?"
Song Qinian repeatedly checked Song Jiashu's bag, with every cell in her body filled with "nervousness."
Seeing that Song Qinian was even more nervous than he was, Song Jiashu patted her back to comfort her, "Don't worry, everything is here."
"Well, you must relax, don't think about anything, just treat it as a normal exam... No... you can't be too casual, in short, you must be serious, serious..."
"I know!"
Song Jiashu hugged Song Qinian, "My sister is a top student, I want to borrow some of her brilliance, I will definitely get a good score."
After Song Qinian hugged Song Jiashu back, she let go, "Alright, go in."
"Yeah, Sister, it's too hot outside, you go wait for me at the dessert shop over there!"
Song Qinian nodded. After Song Jiashu entered the campus, she didn't go to the dessert shop but stayed outside to guard.
Many parents were waiting outside the gate. Some held umbrellas, some wore sun hats, but only Song Qinian was exposed to the sun.
She was beautiful and demure, and many people came up to chat her up and try to be solicitous, offering her water and umbrellas.
When Shen Chi’an passed by the school, he saw Song Qinian surrounded by a group of people asking for her WeChat, and his expression turned very unpleasant.
A plain-looking, inarticulate mute, yet surprisingly popular.
"Beep beep beep..."
Song Qinian's phone rang. She opened it and saw a WeChat message from Shen Chi’an, "Roll to your ten o'clock direction, two hundred meters away."
Song Qinian looked up and saw Shen Chi’an's car.
Why would he be here?
Song Qinian politely declined the others and ran towards the car.
Gao Kunlun had already opened the back door for her. After Song Qinian got in, he hid under a large tree to watch the old men play chess.
Fifth Master had specifically detoured so far to find Young Madam, and it wouldn't be possible to leave in less than an hour.
In June in Jinghua City, the sun blazed like fire. Song Qinian stood at the school gate for twenty minutes, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, her small face turning red.
The car had air conditioning. As soon as she got in, Song Qinian comfortably squinted her eyes.
"Hiss..."
Her face suddenly felt cold. Song Qinian turned her head and saw Shen Chi’an toss a bottle of iced Hong Cha onto her.
"Gao Kunlun said you like to drink this, and he insisted on buying it for you. Heh... When did your relationship become so good?"
Shen Chi’an's attitude towards Song Qinian was as bad as ever. Song Qinian was indeed a bit thirsty. She unscrewed the cap, intending to take a sip, but her hands were sweaty, and she couldn't open it no matter what.
Seeing this, Shen Chi’an clicked his tongue impatiently, took the bottle from Song Qinian's hand, easily unscrewed it, and handed it back to her.
"Can't even open a bottle cap, what's the use of eating so much?"
Song Qinian: "..."
She wasn't unable to open it, her hands were just sweaty.
Forget it, she couldn't be bothered to explain.
After a few sips of the iced Hong Cha, Song Qinian felt comfortable both physically and mentally.
Seeing her lick her lips, a certain person's deep, ink-like eyes flickered slightly, but he said with a sneer, "Something that costs a few yuan, is it really that good?"
Song Qinian nodded and, as if sharing, offered the iced Hong Cha to Shen Chi’an.
Thinking that she had just drunk from it, Shen Chi’an wouldn't drink from the same bottle.
Then, remembering that Shen Chi’an wouldn't drink things that cost a few yuan, she quickly withdrew her hand.
She took another two sips. Just as she screwed the cap back on, Shen Chi’an suddenly grabbed her chin, making her turn to face him.
Song Qinian was a little confused.
Thinking that Shen Chi’an's chin-grabbing was never good news, Song Qinian was about to push him away when his soft, warm lips pressed against hers.
Compared to his usual forceful biting, he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine today, being unusually gentle.
He gently sucked on her lips, and when he had kissed enough, he pried open her teeth and slowly advanced.
Song Qinian was so nervous that she dared not even breathe. Had he taken the wrong medicine today?
So, this was what he looked like when he was gentle.
Song Qinian's heart beat rapidly. She slowly closed her eyes, savoring Shen Chi’an's tenderness.
But in the next second, Shen Chi’an suddenly pushed her away. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Chi’an's cold expression.
"Who gave you permission to stick out your tongue in response?"
Song Qinian's face instantly turned bright red. What kind of person was he, only allowing himself to kiss her, but not allowing her to respond!
Song Qinian felt very awkward. She couldn't stay in the car with Shen Chi’an any longer, so she gestured, "My brother should be coming out soon, I'm leaving."
Just as she was about to open the car door to get out, Shen Chi’an pulled her back, "Even if your brother is a child prodigy, he can't possibly finish the exam and come out in half an hour."
Before Song Qinian could gesture, Shen Chi’an glanced at the iced Hong Cha again, "Drink!"
Song Qinian: "..."
"Are you really going to disappoint Gao Kunlun's good intentions!"
Song Qinian had liked Shen Chi’an for so many years, and now she realized she didn't know what kind of person she liked.
Just a few minutes ago, wasn't he still angry about Gao Kunlun buying her iced Hong Cha?
How could he say something like this now?
Was he suffering from split personality?
But with him staring at her like that, as if he would force-feed her if she didn't obediently drink the iced Hong Cha, Song Qinian had no choice but to take a few more sips.
After finishing, Shen Chi’an kissed her again.
He said, "The taste of iced Hong Cha isn't all that great," while telling Song Qinian to keep drinking and he would keep kissing.
And so it went, back and forth.
After an unknown amount of time, the iced Hong Cha was finished, and Song Qinian's lips and tongue were numb.
She panted, breathing in large gulps of fresh air, suddenly feeling how fresh and wonderful the air was.
For a moment, she thought she would be the first person to suffocate from kissing.
Shen Chi’an looked at Song Qinian's flushed cheeks, her earlobes even more tender than usual, and a wicked fire surged towards a certain place.
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, he really wanted to...
"Get out!"
Shen Chi’an's tone was very bad. Song Qinian didn't dare to linger any longer and quickly got out of the car.
Seeing this, Gao Kunlun immediately ran over. He saw Shen Chi’an looking unsatisfied and didn't dare to speak.
Shen Chi’an looked at Song Qinian standing at the entrance again, waiting for Song Jiashu, his expression becoming even more grim. This stupid woman, why didn't she go wait in the shop.
"Gao Kunlun..."
"Yes."
"The diligent students of Jinghua City are taking their college entrance exams. Their parents are working so hard. As members of Jinghua City, shouldn't we do something for them?"
Gao Kunlun immediately understood, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
"Wait, have Zhang Qiaoqiao buy a few boxes of iced Hong Cha and put them in the refrigerator."
Gao Kunlun was a little confused. Fifth Master never drank these things, why suddenly...
Shen Chi’an's cool gaze swept over him, "What? Do you have an opinion?"
"No, no, I'll do it right away."
