"Grandmother, did you get up so early to make noodles for me?"
“I make you noodles every year..for longevity,” Grandma replied with a smile.
When Ye Tianxin woke up, she then went to the dining room and saw a bowl of noodles on the table. There are long strands of long life noodles in a clear broth. There are also leeks on it.
Ye Tianxin then sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat the noodles slowly.
The smell of noodles made Ye Tianxin feel sad. Eyes pooling. Then tears came down his face.
“Does it taste bad?”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. “No, Grandma,” she replied. "It's delicious!"
His 18th birthday meant that Ye Tianxin was no longer a child.
He's been looking forward to this day. He had waited for this day for too long.
After eating the longevity noodles, Ye Tianxin draped her backpack on her shoulder and went to school.
The closer the day of the college entrance exam, the atmosphere in the school becomes increasingly tense. Banners are installed in various places in the school, encouraging students to do their best.
When Ye Tianxin saw those slogans, she also felt a little nervous.
He knows better than anyone what a college entrance exam means.
In his previous life, he did not care much about the test.
But this time it's different. He knew the consequences if he failed.
“Tianxin, fast! Comehere. There's a registered letter for you."
Li Xiaohui ran out of the TU office, holding a letter in his hand. There is a mark on the manila envelope indicating that it is a registered letter.
“Letter for me?” Ye Tianxin commented curiously.
Who will write a letter to him?
Could it be from Di Shanshi?
Ye Tianxin took the letter and looked at the postmark on it. 'Shenhai City' was clearly written on the postmark.
Shenhai City…
Then it could only be from Lu Qingxin.
Ye Tianxin could not help but smile. He wondered what Lu Qingxin's heart was made of.
He always does no good.
Ye Tianxin opened the envelope and pulled out a piece of pink paper with a pattern of cherry blossom petals on it.
Dear brother, ^^^^
It's been a long time since we last met.^^^
^^^It has been more than a month since our hasty farewell in the capital. We parted on a bad note. Please forgive your sister for her rudeness. My dear mother has committed suicide, and I am deeply saddened by it. I'm so sorry that I'm being disrespectful to you.^^^
My father told me that my mother's death was an accident.^^^
^^^I want to apologize to you. Sister, please forgive me.^^^
^^^Sir, your goal is Capital University. That's my goal too.^^^
^^^Please study hard. Who knows? We might meet at Capital University.^^^
^^^Your sister,^^^
Lu Qingxin^^^^^
Ye Tianxin bit her lips as she read the letter. This is amazing.
It was a good gift from Lu Qingxin.
“Tianxin, who wrote you a letter? The paper is even scented!”
Ye Tianxin folded the letter and returned it to the envelope. "That might be my enemy!" Ye Tianxin replied.
Li Xiaohui snorted and asked excitedly, "Ye Tianxin, is there someone you like?"
“Test college entrance is just a few days away. Can you not think of such nonsense? If you have time to gossip here, you might as well go and work on some more exercise papers.”
Li Xiaohui looked annoyed at Ye Tianxin's words. "Ye Tianxin, can't you be like a teacher and talk about college entrance exams every day?" Li Xiaohui replied.
“Every time I hear the words 'college entrance exam', my heart beats really, really fast. I thought I might have a heart attack.”
Ye Tianxin laughed. Li Xiaohui had studied hard during this period, and his grades had increased slightly.
Of course, it was unlikely that he would make it into a top university.
Li Xiaohui was not as hard as Ye Tianxin.
However, if he managed to do well on the exam, he could still attend a decent university.
“Sadly you are not the female lead in the idol drama.”
Li Xiaohui rolled his eyes. Then, he reached out to tickle Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin laughed and ran away.
Laughter was heard throughout the school.
Their laughter was filled with vitality.
Ye Tianxin and Li Xiaohui ran into the classroom. Ye Tianxin sat on an empty chair beside Li Xiaohui and took out a piece of paper and pen to answer the question.
He opened the pencil box.
Inside his pencil case was a pen Li Qingcang had given him. He took it out and checked it. He rubbed his finger at the words 'For Students, Li Qingcang' which were carved into the pen.
He suddenly felt strange. Heart's pounding. He feels uncomfortable.
Waitaminute!
Ye Tianxin's…
Stop thinking about him.
Studying hard.
'If I study hard, I will meet him again at Capital University,' Ye Tianxin cheered himself on.
'If I don't make it to Capital University, I won't have the heart to see him. I'll.. shy.’
'Give it all, Ye Tianxin!'
'Give it all, Ye Tianxin!'
'Give it all, Ye Tianxin!'
After a slight push, Ye Tianxin took out a practice paper and pen and began working on some papers. The questions were easy for him. However, he did not dare to underestimate them. She was scared ... He was afraid that he would fail at the most important moment.
When the afternoon class was over, Ye Tianxin went home for lunch.
As he walked out of the school, he saw Jing Zhichen leaning against his car, waving at him like the man from the dreamy movie scene. He's happy to see it.
"Tianx."
Ye Tianxin walked over to Jing Zhichen. "Sister Jing, what are you doing here?" he's greeting.
“It's your birthday today. I'm here to celebrate your birthday with you and give you a gift.”
Jing Zhichen got into his car and pulled out a newspaper. He handed it to Tianxin. "See this. Do you know what it is?”
Ye Tianxin spread out the newspaper and saw there was a column of missing people right on the first page of the newspaper.
"Is there any news?" Ye Tianxin asked, hoping for a positive answer.
Jing Zhichen shook his head. “There are too few decent prospects. What's more, Grandma and Grandma are both very old. This... this requires a miracle.”.
Ye Tianxin still felt a little disappointed.
However, he had already expected this.
"Then I will pray that heaven will give me a miracle."
Jing Zhichen brought Ye Tianxin to the courtyard. Green nets surround the yard. Some workers were cleaning up the burning wood at the scene.
“Tianxin architect and construction crew are already here. Some materials I have prepared as well. We are just waiting for you to start.”
Ye Tianxin and Jing Zhichen entered the small courtyard. His grandmother and nanny, as well as Guan Chenxi, were already there, waiting for Ye Tianxin.
"Grandmother, Brother Jing will help us improve our home ..."
Before this, Ye Tianxin had already discussed the page design with the architect online. They have decided on the design.
Ye Tianxin took a shovel and dug the ground. Firecrackers were lit, and they exploded noisily.
The reconstruction of the small courtyard has officially begun.
The construction team rented a place in the city so Ye Tianxin did not have to worry about them. Guan Chenxi will oversee the entire process. Ye Tianxin only needed to study for the entrance examination.
“Do I look like someone asking for something in return? Do I want payment just to do a little good?" Jing Zhichen replied casually. To her, Tianxin was an adorable young lady. He has to help her.
Ye Tianxin only realized at night that Jing Zhichen had also prepared a birthday party for her.
It was an important birthday for Ye Tianxin. Jing Zhichen couldn't let it pass him by without doing something special for him.
"Happy Birthday, Ye Tianxin!"
"Happy Birthday, Ye Tianxin!"
"Happy Birthday, Ye Tianxin!"
Ye Tianxin's classmate greeted her as the bell rang. Class ends. Ye Tianxin was somewhat touched. He closed his mouth and bowed, saying, "Thank you, everyone."
Jing Zhichen. Two people carrying a six-level cake followed behind him. They put the cake on the podium.
“Today is the birthday of my little sister, Tianxin. Thank you, everyone, for taking care of our Tianxin,” Jing Zhichen said with a wide smile on his face.
Li Xiaohui wore a party hat on Ye Tianxin's head.
Colorful confetti are throughout the class.
Ye Tianxin was touched. He walked to the podium with tears in his eyes and blew out the candles on his cake.
Jing Zhichen thought Ye Tianxin's classmate wanted to try some cookies.
However, he did not assume that young men and women at the peak of their lives would fight over it.
The pale white cream on the cake became their weapon.
Not even Jing Zhichen escaped.
At first, Jing Zhichen remained aloof and paid no attention to them. However, he eventually broke away and joined in. Every corner in the class is stained with white cream.
After the event, Jing Zhichen and Ye Tianxin walked out of the classroom.
"Tianxin, happy birthday!"
Ye Tianxin nodded and replied, "Thank you, Brother Jing."
“Oh, correct. I haven't given you your gift..”.
Jing Zhichen brought Ye Tianxin to his car. He did not know what to give Ye Tianxin. He chose to take the safe route and bought her a set of skin care products.
“Actually, I don't know what to give you. My secretary suggested this. You like them? If you don't like it, you can give it to Guan Chenxi."
Ye Tianxin looked at the brand of skin care products. He knew that this was a luxury brand and a set of such skin care products was bound to be very expensive.
“Thank you, Brother Jing. I really like it. I'll also give you a gift for your birthday.”
“My date is January 1. I'll wait for your gift then.”
"certain."
Jing Zhichen escorted Ye Tianxin back to her apartment before leaving.
Ye Tianxin returned to her room and put down the skin care. Then, he pulled out his phone. He wanted to call Li Qingcang.
He only realized that his phone was running out of battery when he pressed it and the screen was not on.
Ye Tianxin charged her power in a hurry and waited for a few minutes before she turned it on.
The phone keeps ringing, signaling incoming text messages.
Ye Tianxin read every message. Then, he began to dance inside the room happily. He's very happy!
Li Qingcang had already sent him a birthday message in the middle of the night.
"Tianxiu..."
Grandma pushed the door open and saw Ye Tianxin dancing.
"What's going on? I thought something was wrong, so I came here as soon as possible.”
Ye Tianxin ran to her Grandma. He hugged his grandmother tightly.
"Grandmother, when our new home is finished, let's move there as soon as possible."
“That Jing guy is a good guy. Tianxin, you are a very lucky child. I don't need you to make a name for yourself. My only hope is that you will be a good boy with a big heart for everyone around you ... "
Although Wu Cailan had bowed and apologized to Ye Tianxin in front of the entire class, people were still talking about him, and Grandma heard about what happened.
"Grandmother, did someone say something to you?" Ye Tianxin asked worriedly. She didn't want her grandmother to worry about her.
Ye Tianxin held her grandmother's hand and brought her to a seat. He looked at his grandmother with soft eyes.
“I didn't hear anything from anyone. It's just my hope for you. I hope you will be happy, Tianxin.”
Ye Tianxin saw her grandmother refusing to tell the truth, so she did not suppress her. He returned to his room after helping his grandmother to take a bath.
He sat in front of the mirror and looked at his own reflection. He was young, and his face was filled with vitality and youth.
The corners of his eyes did not yet have any wrinkles, and they were as clear as water in the spring.
His face is very clean.
His eyes were clear and pure.
His heart is very calm.
Ye Tianxin pondered for a while and then went to sleep. He holds his phone and sees a text message on the screen. The shadow of Li Qingcang's handsome face appeared in his mind. He might not be with her at the moment, but he felt happy, safe, and relieved just by thinking about it.
Today is not just his birthday. It was also a very important day in his life.
He wished he could see Li Qingcang. After all, it wasn't just his birthday—it was his 18th birthday.
When this thought came to Ye Tianxin's mind, he pulled out his blanket and buried his head under it.
Stop thinking!
Stop thinking!
Go sleep.
Close your eyes.
Counting sheep.
Ye Tianxin counted the sheep with her eyes closed.
“One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep, five sheep.
When Ye Tianxin reached 99, she was still not sleepy. In fact, he was even more awake than before.
He lifted his blanket and sat down in front of his study table. He turned on the lights and started working on the practice.
Everything was quiet around him.
He did not know when the rain started to fall. He was too busy to realize it.
The rain hit the window, spatter.
"Does heaven hear me?" Ye Tianxin wondered.
Is that why it started raining?
His heart was filled with sadness.
He picked up his phone and looked for Li Qingcang's number. She called.
The phone kept ringing, but no one picked up. He didn't try calling again.
Ye Tianxin was a little disappointed. Maybe he was too hopeful.
"Is that really too much?"
Compared to her text messages wishing her a happy birthday, she was more looking forward to seeing it. He wanted to hear her say, "Tianxin, happy 18th birthday."
"Ye Tianxin, you're 18 today."
"Ye Tianxin, happy 18th birthday!"
Ye Tianxin couldn't focus too much on the training paper she was working on, but she couldn't sleep either. He climbed into bed once again and used his laptop to listen to music while keeping a diary.
Meanwhile, Li Qingcang and his team emerged from the mountains. Everyone is exhausted. Their clothes were drenched in the rain, and there were traces of mud at the end of their pants.
"Yan Ge, get everyone to rest well," Li Qingcang ordered. “I want to see everyone's reflection on this mission tomorrow. People who come last today should wash everyone's clothes!”
The corner of Yan Ge's mouth twitched. He was amazed at Li Qingcang. Is this guy a robot?
Why was he still full of energy after their exhausting mission?
"Understand, Captain Li."
Li Qingcang returned to his office. He opened his drawer and pulled out his phone. He saw an unanswered call.
Ye Tianxin called out to him.
