“Should we tell Mr.

Song now and get a new one?” Hu Xiufang suggested.

“When I went out, I saw Mr.

Song riding home.” Li Qiao wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Hu Xiufang: “Then what do we do?”

Li Qiao was silent, calmly thinking of a solution.

Finally, he had a bad idea: “Let me take a look at your admission ticket.”

“Okay.” Hu Xiufang took out her own admission ticket.

Li Qiao compared it with a draft paper, the color of the paper was the same, but slightly thinner.

He asked Hu Xiufang to get a radish from the canteen chef and then borrow a box of red seal ink from a teacher.

He locked the door and stayed behind, hand-drawing one in the same format and size as the admission ticket.

Then he attached a one-inch black-and-white photo.

Hu Xiufang had prepared everything Li Qiao asked for and sat beside him, watching in awe: “It looks just like it was printed.”

“Is Li Qiao there?

Someone is looking for you outside,” the dorm supervisor knocked on the door to convey the message.

Li Qiao: “It must be my partner.

Have you seen him?”

“No.”

Li Qiao: “The handsomest one is him, please ask him to wait a moment.”

Hu Xiufang: “….” How had she never realized how thick-skinned Li Qiao was?

After Hu Xiufang left.

Li Qiao continued carving the seal with a knife, and just as he had carved half a character, Hu Xiufang came back leading Du Xinxin.

Li Qiao was surprised: “Oh, it’s you.”

“Did you forget about the deal we made to buy materials?” Du Xinxin reminded him.

“Oh, I thought you were too busy to come, and I was planning to look around the trade market after tomorrow’s competition.

Later I got hold of the English test papers for you, how many points did you score after taking them?” Li Qiao asked with concern.

“I only got 75, Han Ting scored full marks.

His brain works like yours, can’t imagine how it functions.”

Li Qiao laughed: “It’s not that difficult, scoring full marks is only normal.

You should read and practice more in the future.

I will create questions for you to work on every week from now on.”

“Okay, that would be great.”

“Count me in,” Hu Xiufang clamored.

Li Qiao: “You’re the closest to me, of course, I’ll get them done for you first.”

Hu Xiufang was overjoyed: “You’re so kind.”

Li Qiao smiled with eyes curving into crescents.

“What are you doing here?” Du Xinxin pinched the carved-up piece of radish, then looked at the seal in Li Qiao’s hand: “Carving a seal, huh?”

“Keep it down,” Hu Xiufang gestured for silence.

Du Xinxin pursed her lips, paused, and then whispered: “What exactly are you?

Even knowing how to carve a seal.”

Li Qiao displeased: “What about you?”

Du Xinxin chuckled: “My bad, I misspoke.

I was actually admiring you; you’re incredible.

But carving your own seal, that’s illegal, right?”

“I’m not using it for anything illegal.”

Hu Xiufang explained: “Li Qiao lost his admission ticket, and there was no other choice.

It’s also lucky that Li Qiao knows how to carve, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to take the test tomorrow and all the weeks of studying would have been for nothing.”

Du Xinxin took out a handkerchief: “Principal Han is still waiting for me outside.

The money and the tickets are inside; I need to go.”

Li Qiao casually pocketed it: “Take care, I won’t see you out.”

“Hey.”

Du Xinxin left.

Hu Xiufang casually locked the door: “That girl and the educated youth she was with, are they dating or what?”

“What makes you think that?” Li Qiao asked, curious.

“They were chatting and laughing together, even if they are not dating, they probably like each other,” Hu Xiufang gossiped.

Li Qiao was at a loss for words.

Chatting and laughing together meant they were dating?

Meant they liked each other?

Oh, my goodness!

No wonder that Zhao Li said she had a relationship with Han Ting.

“They are not dating; I haven’t heard about them liking each other.

I also laugh when I talk to men in the village.

Next time I won’t laugh, in case I meet someone who thinks like you do and assumes that if I laugh at him, I like him, that would be the end of me.”

Hu Xiufang: “….”

Li Qiao finished carving the seal, used tissue paper to absorb the top layer of moisture, tapped it onto the red seal ink, and then pressed it onto the draft paper twice.

Comparing it to the admission ticket, it felt about the same.

Hu Xiufang thought it plausible, good enough to pass as real.

“You really are a genius!”

Li Qiao giggled: “It’s all out of necessity.” This seal would still have to be stamped in the county seat; even if they found Mr.

Song, it would be of no use, and they might have even been scolded.

He put away the finished admission ticket carefully.

Destroyed the radish document, returned the teacher’s red seal clay, and went back to the dormitory to wait for Qin Jin.

When it was almost dark, the dorm supervisor came by again, “Li Qiao, someone’s looking for you.”

“Oh, auntie, hold on a second.” Li Qiao took out the egg cakes she bought at noon, “Sorry for always bothering you.”

“Look at you, child, being so polite, there’s no need.”

Li Qiao insisted on giving them to her.

The dorm supervisor left with a smiling face.

Li Qiao got her things together and was about to sling her bag over her shoulder and say goodbye to Hu Xiufang when she had a thought, “Hu Xiufang, why don’t you come with me?

Let my boyfriend take you.”

Hu Xiufang said, “Really?

I’d feel so embarrassed.

I’m afraid he wouldn’t be willing.”

Li Qiao replied, “I’ll sit in the front and you can sit in the back.

It’s fine.”

After some consideration, Hu Xiufang packed up her stuff.

The two of them locked the door and walked to the school gate.

Qin Jin was waiting outside, his car’s crossbeam was loaded with bulging bags of fertilizer, and Liu Er was also coming along.

“Have you been waiting long?” Qin Jin asked.

“Not too long.

Is Liu Er coming with us?” Li Qiao greeted Liu Er.

“Yeah, sister-in-law, I’m heading into the city to take care of some things.”

Li Qiao nodded and discussed taking Hu Xiufang with Qin Jin.

Qin Jin said, “Liu Er, I’ve got stuff in the front of my car so it’s not too convenient to take passengers.

You take this young lady.”

Liu Er cheerfully agreed, “Miss, do you want to hop on or should I give you a leg up?”

“Thanks, I’ll get on by myself,” said Hu Xiufang, looking down.

…

After climbing into the car, they rode off.

Qin Jin broke the silence, “Qiaoqiao, are you cold?”

Li Qiao, “I’m not cold.” Her eyes shifted, “Hu Xiufang, are you cold?

I have a scarf in my bag.”

“I’m not cold either.

I wonder how long it will take to get there.”

Liu Er, “About an hour or so.”

Li Qiao, “If you get tired, we can stop for a break.”

“This distance is nothing.

Jin and I have even cycled out of the province before, for five or six hours straight without resting.”

Li Qiao, “…” Cycling out of the province? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Wouldn’t they get lost without navigation?

Just ask around?

Is he boasting?

“What do you usually eat?”

“We eat whatever we find, roast sparrows, grilled fish, or we steal sweet potatoes and corn cobs from the locals…”

Li Qiao listened intently, finding it fresh and intriguing.

Qin Jin sure had a lot of experiences.

They chatted along the way, and time passed quickly.

It didn’t feel long before they arrived in the city.

Their bicycles stopped in front of a guesthouse.

Qin Jin went straight in and called out, “Is Fang Yuan here?”

After a moment,

An echo came back.

“Coming.”

A young man in his early twenties with a crew cut came out from the corridor.

Upon seeing Qin Jin, he rushed to greet them warmly, addressing Qin Jin as a brother and ushered them inside, making cooing noises at the staff to pour tea for Qin Jin.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qin Jin explained the purpose of his visit.

Fang Yuan immediately arranged rooms for Li Qiao and Hu Xiufang.

Li Qiao followed the staff member into the room, carrying her luggage and looking around.

The bedroom was fully furnished, with two single beds separated by a nightstand, and underneath it were two hot water bottles.

Against the wall stood a small wardrobe.

Hu Xiufang looked around, “The environment here is really nice.

I didn’t expect your boyfriend to be so capable, knowing everyone at the guesthouse.

My brother said that you even need a special permit to stay in a legitimate guesthouse.”

Li Qiao was taken aback.

If that was true, Qin Jin was indeed quite resourceful.

She had underestimated him before.

Did Li Jinhua know about these things, and that was why she wanted to push her out and marry Qin Jin?

She lost herself in wild thoughts.

Hu Xiufang urged her to wash up and go to bed, and after she was done and got into bed, someone knocked on the door.
