Chapter 153 - 155: Drawing Lots Again_1
At dusk.
Du Xinxin was picking tender corn to put into her flour soup when she ran into Li Qiao and Qin Jin on her way back to the youth spot.
She waved at Li Qiao, "Li Qiao!"
Li Qiao jumped off the back seat of Qin Jin’s bike, "Jin, you go on home first." He then said, "Wang Nannan, Liu Jing, and Zou Qing have all gone back to their hometowns. Aren’t you and Han Ting planning to visit home to share the joy of getting into university with family and friends? Is it because you’re short on travel funds? I’ll lend you whatever you’re missing."
Embarrassed by the sudden show of concern, Du Xinxin’s eyes reddened again, "I’m not short on travel funds." She whispered to Li Qiao about her family situation.
Li Qiao was furious, "That’s too unfair! You absolutely must not give in. Your scores aren’t that high, and your foundation is weak. If it weren’t because everyone was new to English, the test wouldn’t have been so easy. Next year’s candidates will have studied English for two years, and the exam will definitely be harder, with even more taking it. If the cut-off score increases, you might not get into university and your whole life could be delayed."
This group of university students had caught a good era.
In the future, graduating and receiving a diploma meant automatic entry into an official post, something that students decades later would envy to tears.
Du Xinxin confirmed resolutely, "I won’t give in!"
Then, she shyly mentioned what Han Ting had said to her.
Li Qiao’s aunt laughed; she had always felt Han Ting treated Du Xinxin better than others. Wang Nannan, the scatterbrain, actually thought he treated Du Xinxin like a little sister.
