Chapter 247 Shifting the Concept
Qiao Yingzi was a little angry. "Do you still treat me like a child? Dad, I'm seventeen years old!"
Qiao Yingzi wasn't under too much pressure from Song Qian, so she didn't need to use Lego to relieve stress. Her dream was astronomy and space travel, not toys.
Qiao Weidong's flattery backfired. "Alright, alright, Yingzi, whatever you say is fine. Hey, I'm not talking to you anymore, the tax officials are here, I have to go check on them, bye!"
Qiao Yingzi came out of the bedroom and told Song Qian that Qiao Weidong had something to do and couldn't attend tomorrow's pep rally. Song Qian chuckled and said, "Your dad knew this would happen!"
Late at night, Song Qian rewarded Ji Yangyang, "Yangyang, Qiao Weidong really isn't coming!"
Ji Yangyang sat up and looked at the stars in the night sky. "Sister Qian, let's leave here!"
"Where?"
Ji Yangyang pointed to the starry sky,
"Let's go to Yingzi's favorite astronomy department. Nobody there knows us."
Song Qian looked at Ji Yangyang without saying anything more.
After a long while, he sighed.
At the rally, Fang Yifan climbed onto the sunshade to take a picture of Huang Zhitao, then slipped down, fell on his backside, and passed out.
Fang Yifan liked Huang Zhitao even more as they grew further apart. Perhaps it's because what you can't have is always the best, or perhaps distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Fang Yifan dared not linger near Ji Yangyang, but he would always go up and harass Huang Zhitao when she was alone.
Ji Yangyang glanced at Fang Yifan and knew he was probably faking it. She rubbed a grain of sand between her left hand and flicked it with her finger. Fang Yifan jumped up, rubbing his ears incessantly, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much!"
When the Qi (vital energy) stimulates the Feichi acupoint, a sharp, persistent pain occurs in the earlobe. However, this pain is brief, lasting only a few seconds.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Li Meng, who was originally going to send Fang Yifan to the infirmary, was furious when she saw Fang Yifan suddenly jumping around and then trying to go back to pretend to be unconscious.
"Stop pretending! Fang Yifan, go to my office and wait for me!" Li Meng felt she couldn't control her voice.
The mobilization rally continued.
Song Qian watched Fang Yifan's performance from afar, neither participating in the rescue nor caring about the aftermath.
Under Pan Shuai's direction, the students lined up to receive balloons.
Ji Yangyang's parents didn't come to participate, and he didn't tell anyone about it.
Together with Huang Zhitao and Qiao Yingzi, they received balloons and the three of them gathered around Song Qian.
Huang Zhitao greeted Song Qian, "Hello, Aunt Song!"
"Hi, Zhitao," Song Qian said with a formulaic smile.
Qiao Yingzi pointed at Ji Yangyang and Huang Zhitao, "Mom, their parents aren't home, so let's release the balloons together!"
“No problem, Yangyang, Zhitao, come on, let’s write together.” Song Qian opened the cap of the marker and handed the pen to Qiao Yingzi. “Let’s start with Yingzi.”
Qiao Yingzi picked up her pen, thought for a moment, and wrote down CNSA.
Song Qian didn't understand, "What does this SA thing mean?"
Qiao Yingzi explained, "The China National Space Administration is the top department in our country's space field, and it's full of academicians and great scientists!"
Song Qian thought for a moment, "But today's theme is the college entrance exam pep rally, isn't this a bit off-topic?"
Qiao Yingzi's expression froze. "It seems so."
"Why don't you write down your favorite university and major?" Song Qian tempted.
Qiao Yingzi picked up her pen again and wrote "Department of Astronomy, Yingtianfu University".
Song Qian didn't refute Qiao Yingzi anymore, but instead glanced at Ji Yangyang, and their eyes met. However, with so many people around, Song Qian guiltily looked away.
Ji Yangyang took the pen from Qiao Yingzi and handed it to Huang Zhitao, saying, "You write first!"
Huang Zhitao didn't stand on ceremony and wrote down the words "got admitted to medical school".
Song Qian looked at it and asked, "Zhi Tao wants to be a doctor?"
“Yes, my parents are both doctors without borders abroad, so I want to become a doctor and follow in their footsteps.” Huang Zhitao looked at the horizon, some of her longing lingering in the clouds.
Ji Yangyang interrupted her, "It's my turn. I don't actually have any goals, but if I had to write something, I just want everyone to live happily!"
I quickly typed out several words!
Qiao Yingzi pointed at the balloon, "Ji Yangyang, you've gone off-topic!"
Ji Yangyang shook her head. "No, whether it's short-term or long-term, the college entrance exam or any other time, this is my goal."
Huang Zhitong was somewhat puzzled, "It's as if you're living purely for others, without ever thinking about yourself?"
"I've lived for too long, and I've long since lost my purpose!"
Ji Yangyang spoke very softly, so that only he could hear it.
Song Qian sensed Ji Yangyang's confusion and sadness, and under the cover of the balloon, she gently brushed the back of Ji Yangyang's hand.
The whole school released balloons, which flew haphazardly into the sky, were blown away by the wind, and slowly disappeared.
…………
Two days later, they returned to the classroom on campus.
A stranger appeared in the classroom, standing blankly at the door. He saw Qiao Yingzi writing a math problem on the blackboard at the back, and without caring what it was for, he picked up the chalk and wrote the answer.
Ji Yangyang didn't stop him. He knew this person wasn't quite right in the head, somewhat like Xiao Ming. If he were placed in the Center for Research on Abnormal Humans, it wouldn't be too out of place.
Shortly after I finished writing, Li Meng came in and introduced him: "His name is Lin Leier. He's a transfer student from Fujian. He's a senior in high school and will be fighting alongside everyone. Lin Leier, please introduce yourself!"
Lin Leier stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally saying, "Um, my name is Lin Leier!"
The whole class waited for another half minute, and Lin Leier waited for half a minute as well.
Li Meng couldn't wait any longer, "That's it?"
"It's gone!"
Clenching her fist, Li Meng suppressed her complaints and pointed to an empty seat behind her, "Alright, then you can sit in that seat over there!"
Without Fang Yifan present, Lin Leier appeared even more uneasy.
"Alright everyone, get ready, the exam is about to begin!"
Many students were caught off guard, exclaiming, "The exam is on the first day? We didn't prepare at all!"
When the senior year of high school starts, a placement test is required. This is a strategy that Li Meng came up with to divide students into three classes based on their scores.
Since we had only recently made plans with the school, there wasn't time to notify them in advance. "Exams are like going to war; do you think the enemy cares whether you're prepared?"
"It's just a fallacy of equivocation," Ji Yangyang chuckled, but didn't point anything out.
Whether it's taking exams early or separating students into high-achieving and low-achieving groups, there are too many such things. Ji Yangyang feels that she is too incapable to manage them and will not bother to manage them.
After the afternoon exam, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao came to Ji Yangyang to compare answers. The three of them had only gone over half of the math exam when Li Meng walked in.
"I know everyone worked hard on the exams, but in order to prevent everyone from slacking off in their studies, I hereby announce that starting today, the school will support everyone to attend evening self-study sessions."
"No one is forced to leave; it's voluntary! Anyone who wants to leave can go now!"
