Chapter 93 Desperate Friends (1/2)
Yan Wangchuan smiled wanly and said, ”It's all right. I've already figured out that I need to be strong first. I need to have enough chips to compete with Mo Kun, and then I can have the chance to dance with you.”
Long Xi saw that Yan Wangchuan's eyes were filled with anger. She felt that his thoughts seemed to be at a dead end. She wanted to give him the encouragement, but did not know what to say.
Yan Wangchuan stared at Lord Mo Kun with anger in his eyes and Mo Kun calmly ”stared back”. They looked at each other for a few seconds, sparks flying in the air. Then Yan Wangchuan said goodbye to Long Xi and left on his own.
Fan Qianqian took Xiaolu home, while Mo Kun and Long Xi visited Kunkun in the old tree hole. Kunkun was in good spirits, and its stomach was bulging. It was due to give birth anytime soon.
Long Xi left some food for Kunkun, and then Lord Mo Kun sent Long Xi home. Long Xi sent her prepared samples and photos of men's clothes, to the Paris headquarter of the company which was hosting the French Legend Men's Clothing Reality Show.
Later, Lord Mo Kun sent Long Xi back to school. After Long Xi went back to her dormitory, Lord Mo Kun immediately resigned from President Deng Zhao of Yulin High School. He focused on his preparations to start the Starry Night Invention Company.
It happened that the original chemistry teacher had settled his family's affairs and was returning to the school. The school did not need the substitute teacher, Mo Kun, anymore.
After obtaining the consent of her grandmother, Long Xi let Mo Kun temporarily live in her home, in the room which Long Xi usually used as the sewing room.
Mo Kun intended to stay here temporarily, which had several advantages. One of the benefits was that he could build a deeper relationship with her grandmother. Another advantage was that he would be with Long Xi day and night, even on Saturdays and Sundays.
He was going to bring Long Xi for a house viewing on Saturday. After Long Xi had picked her favorite villa, he would buy the villa afterward.
This chapter was over, everything seemed to return to normal!
Mr. X kept his promise and stopped sending out red envelopes! He said, there would be no more red envelopes for a month!
Lord Mo Kun drove the stealth mech to City B to get the patent certificate, and along the way, he helped Niu Xi make enquires about Professor Yang.
He had Professor Yang Xiaoming's address and phone number. He was 27 years old and the youngest professor in the history of University Qinghui, who lived on the campus of University Qinghui in City B. As for whether he was the actual descendant of Yang Dingtian, there was no way to find out.
Lord Mo Kun wrote this information on a piece of paper, made it into a wax ball, and tied it to the foot of the grey homing pigeon that Niu Xi had given him. He used it to send this information back to Niu Xi.
He then returned to X City and extravagantly rented a commercial building to use as an office building. At the same time, he bought factories and machines, recruited workers, bought materials, manufactured products, and stocked up on inventory. He was ready to start his business officially in two weeks, hold an opening ceremony, advertise, and launch a big sales promotion. All in all, he was so busy.
But no matter how busy he was, he called Long Xi three times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening.
According to him, if he did not hear Long Xi's voice even for one day, he could not eat or sleep well.
Long Xi returned to the normal, busy life of high school.
Wei Wei and Yu Lanjie also came back. Wei Wei applied to move out of the original dormitory and lived in Man Shahua's dormitory. Moreover, she never spoke to Long Xi again.
Long Xi wanted to apologize to her several times. But she ignored Long Xi totally, and she looked through Long Xi, as if she was transparent, which made Long Xi feel a little sad.
Yu Lanjie's injured hands and feet were not totally healed yet, so her movements were still restricted. Long Xi took good care of her, bringing her food and changing her dressing. Their dormitory was on the third floor and their classrooms and study rooms were also upstairs. There was no elevator, so Long Xi carried her up and down daily.
The learning atmosphere in the school became more intense as the time for the college entrance examination neared.
On the school's electronic display screen, the display was usually the school's eight-character motto ”Social Commitment, God helps those who help themselves”. Now, daily, there was a message in bold red print: ”How many days before the college entrance examination?” And every time, after the mock exams of the senior three classes, the grade ranking of the senior three students would be displayed on the display screen.
Motivational signs were plastered all over the school. In the classrooms, there were slogans and countdown cards, and a heavy sense of oppression hung in the air.
Most of the slogans in Class 3 of Senior Three were written by Yan Wangchuan. Because his calligraphy was very good, the regular scripts were dignified and grave, the running hands were bold and gentle, while the cursive scripts were lively and vigorous.
The slogans written by him were mostly traditional: ”Honing gives a sharp edge to a sword, and bitter cold adds a keen fragrance to the plum blossom”, ”Diligence is the path to the mountain of knowledge, hard-work is the boat to the endless sea of learning”, ”Endure pain if you want to reach the peak, maintain your dream if you want to succeed, bear the weight if you want to wear a crown!” Some were couplets: ”Ten years to sharpen the sword, climbing the peak, today, and race to catch the waves showing great ambitions.”
Except for a few students who had already given up hope, most of the students tried their best to study, immersing themselves in the sea of homework and exercises. There was endless homework every day, and everyone felt that there was never enough time. They were really stressed!
The senior three students of Yulin High School seemed to be soldiers on the battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. They challenged each other, and all wanted to be marshals.
Many people continued to study with their flashlights, after their dormitories lights off time. Long Xi and Yu Lanjie were two of them.
Now there were only two of them in this dormitory. Without Wei Wei, the adorable pistachio, it seemed so deserted!
Every time she saw the bed Wei Wei used to sleep in, Long Xi would feel somewhat down.
Every time, Yu Lanjie would comfort Long Xi, ”Wei Wei will come round, sooner or later!”
Today, in class, Mrs. Lin announced that the dates for next year's college entrance examination in X City, was set for June 7 to June 9.
