Chapter 668 - Over-Emphasis on Trivial Matters (1/2)
In actual fact, Qiao Nan felt more troubled than s.h.i.+ Qing regarding that small sum of money that Qiao Dongliang gave to Qiao Zijin.
As she felt that she could no longer continue to attempt the questions, Qiao Nan simply went to bed. If she continued to sit around, she would only s.p.a.ce out. Hence, she might as well lie in bed and sleep, replenis.h.i.+ng her energy.
Qiao Nan was troubled that Qiao Zijin would use the money that Qiao Dongliang gave her to deal against her. On the other hand, when Qiao Zijin, upon boarding the car, opened the bag of items and saw the money inside, her eyes were full of disdain. “He doesn’t even feel ashamed to give me so little money. It’s so easy to be a father. No matter what, it’s better that I spend it than leave it to Qiao Nan.”
Having said that, Qiao Zijin happily put away the money and no longer minded the quant.i.ty of it. As long as she was spending what belonged to Qiao Nan and took more of it, Qiao Nan would have less. She would feel happy then.
‘Qiao Nan, do not be anxious. I would be taking the college entrance examination in half a year’s time. When that time comes, the two of us sisters would then ‘bond’ with each other.’
Time pa.s.sed by as quickly as the blink of an eye.
“Qiao Nan, it’ll be our turn to take the college entrance examination during this time next year. What are your thoughts on this?” It was now July and the weather was hot. Most were reluctant to go out at the sight of the vicious-looking sun outside.
s.h.i.+ Qing was not worried about other things. She did not wish for much but she was hoping for more storms and rains so that the weather would be cooler when it was her turn to take the college entrance examination next year. If the sun was so bright, she was afraid that she would suffer heatstroke and not be able to concentrate on the examinations.
“Any thoughts?” Qiao Nan raised her brows. “What kind of thoughts can I have? Just take the exams properly.” Time pa.s.sed so quickly. It was already July. Qiao Zijin would be having her college entrance examination during this time.
At the thought of Qiao Zijin’s grades in her previous life, Qiao Nan did not harbor much hope for Qiao Zijin. Whether she scored well or badly, that was Qiao Zijin’s own matter.
“Furthermore, we still have another half a year to go anyway. We have basically finished learning the contents of the core curriculum. Thereafter, we’ll have to see how the teacher conducts the revision.” During this period, Qiao Nan strictly followed her study plan. She not only successfully completed the core curriculum of high school but also memorized all the contents of the Oxford Dictionary.
She dared not say that she had it all at her fingertips but she had certainly memorized most of the knowledge and content.
“You’re the greatest pervert.” At the thought of that exaggerated study plan of Qiao Nan, s.h.i.+ Qing expressed that Qiao Nan was not a human being. Even if it was a machine, there would be times whereby it would be broken and needed repair. Qiao Nan did not seem to have any such moment. That persistence and motivation of hers were truly frightening.
Nevertheless, her father kept saying that someone with a character like Qiao Nan would attain success easily. Furthermore, if Qiao Nan was not someone that was strong-willed and determined, she must have suffered very badly before. Otherwise, a child of Qiao Nan’s age would not have been able to do what she did.
“Thank you for your praise.” Qiao Nan was very used to the one or two words of pervert that popped out of s.h.i.+ Qing’s mouth. “Right, ever since you transferred to Ping Cheng High School, your results have been quite good. Your name should be on the list of students who are guaranteed admission to college,
right?”
“Yes, but I rejected.” s.h.i.+ Qing was yawning. “Even you’re not willing to be guaranteed admission, so why would I be eager to do so? Whoever is interested can go ahead. However, I heard that the students from your cla.s.s one are very grateful to you.” During the year, the reputation of Teacher Xiao Qiao had been rising.
In the past, only the second-year cla.s.s one’s students would address Qiao Nan as such. Now, almost all the students from the second-year cohort addressed Qiao Nan as ‘teacher’.
The revision materials that Qiao Nan came up with would definitely be treated like the bible by the students of the second-year cohort. They would revise it thoroughly. That enthusiasm and importance that they placed on the materials exceeded that of the main pointers and summary given by the teachers.
Fortunately, the teachers were not petty. Otherwise, it would be embarra.s.sing to have their limelight being stolen by their own student.
