Chapter 197 - 191: Walking Hand in Hand
Monday morning, when Qingran went downstairs for breakfast, she saw only Xie Ying’an at the table, peeling eggshells, but her brother and Song Shize were nowhere to be seen.
Xie Ying’an seemed to know who Qingran was looking for, he put the cleanly peeled egg on the plate in front of Qingran, and said, "Li Qingmo and Song Shize haven’t gotten up yet. When I went to check on them, they were still snuggled together asleep."
Last night, when Qingran and Xie Ying’an were preparing to go for a walk, her brother was rushing Song Shize to go home, but Song Shize stubbornly refused to leave.
Li Qingmo, cornered, coolly retorted: "Only you can sleep on my bed, but I can’t sleep on yours?"
Qingran and Xie Ying’an exchanged glances, not understanding what wild words Song Shize was uttering.
It seemed to embarrass Li Qingmo though, as he told Song Shize to shut up and reluctantly agreed to let him stay over for the night.
Qingran had no time to care about when they would wake up, as usual, today was another school exam day.
After resting at home for two days, although she was sick, Qingran imagined that if she and Xie Ying’an had any setback in the exam, they would definitely endure Old Wu’s displeasure for a week straight.
Being a student, one always dreads displeasing the teacher, and Qingran was no exception.
The heat of midsummer was unbearable, even the morning temperature made one sweat profusely.
The school’s uniform was somewhat stuffy and not very breathable; after the final exams each year, students quietly switched to their own cool clothes, thankfully the school didn’t interfere too much.
