Chapter 203: Opportunity to Kill Two Birds at One
Shang Qing's fingers were clenched nervously, and her palms were sweating. She had never thought that Ji Xun would actually find such a good opportunity for her. However, she was too worried that Ji Xun would lose his own opportunity for her, so she refused and said, "Xiao Xun! I won't go. I'll go to the school I can get into!"
Ji Xunben's gentle smile disappeared, and he frowned slightly, looking at Shang Qing anxiously: "Sister, why?"
Grandma Kang also became anxious. She stood up, her face full of disbelief: "Qingqing, this is such a great opportunity, why don't you go!"
"I... I can't be so selfish. I can't let Xiaoxun give up what he loves for me." Shang Qing's expression was serious and resolute. "Xiaoxun, don't worry. My grades are good enough for me to get into a good school. Go tell Teacher Yu that you don't have to..."
Ji Xun walked up to her, took her damp little hand in his, and his gentle smile reassured Shang Qing. He patiently explained, "Sister, you're overthinking it. I never said I'd give up on what I love. This school is already the best, and it has the major I like. Besides, Teacher Yu said that any major you like is fine. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"But...but my grades..." Shang Qing felt guilty. With her grades, it was impossible for her to go to this school. "It's not right for her to go to this school."
Ji Xun felt a little distressed. His eyes flashed with an increasingly determined light. His gaze was scorching as he stared at Shang Qing's evasive eyes. His tone was filled with a reassuring magic: "Sister, your grades are also very good. Who can improve so much in just one year? Besides, your scores in college are not much different from theirs."
"Yes, Qingqing. Since the school said it's okay, it means that they recognize your results." Grandma Kang quickly interjected.
Ji Xun nodded in agreement with Grandma Kang's words. Seeing Shang Qing's worried expression, he continued, "Yes. The most important thing is that Teacher Yu chose you because they saw your design and were amazed. They said they could make an exception for you. Otherwise, how could I have such great ability?"
Shang Qing nodded at Ji Xun's confident tone and warm smile. Both Grandma Kang and Ji Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the two of them so relieved, Shang Qing lowered her eyes, and a warm current slowly flowed through her heart. Shang Qing was not stupid, so how could she not understand?
Perhaps, she does have some talent in design, but talented people are never rare. She is just lucky that a friend discovered and trusted her and gave her a platform for development.
And a school that didn't give so many talented people a chance, but gave it to her! Wasn't it because she had such an outstanding Ji Xun?! Ji Xun got her a chance to go to college.
Shang Qing stopped being so sentimental. His brother had secured such a golden opportunity for her, so why would she give it up? She had to cherish it, seize it, and strive to achieve success in her studies. Only then would she be worthy of the efforts of the one who loved her.
"Thank you, Xiao Xun." Shang Qing stretched out her arms, hugged his waist, and pressed her cheek against his chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat, a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Ji Xun froze slightly, then returned to normal. He stroked Shang Qing's head with his palm and said softly, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Just these words "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!" struck a chord with Shang Qing's heart. The warmth made Shang Qing's eyes warm again.
Grandma Kang sat aside, looking at the warm and harmonious scene between the two, and the satisfaction on her kind face became more and more intense.
Time seemed to have stopped. They didn't move and didn't know how much time had passed.
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
Ji Xun reluctantly let go of Shang Qing and prepared to go out to open the door. His sleeve was pulled. Ji Xun turned around, a little confused.
Shang Qing thought about the situation outside, winked at Grandma Kang, and looked at Ji Xun: "Xiao Xun, my feet are numb. Help me go back to the bedroom, I need to get something."
There was no way Grandma Kang would miss this opportunity. She quickly instructed Ji Xun, "Xiao Xun, Qingqing's legs are numb. You carry Qingqing inside. I'll go see who's outside."
Shang Qing was stunned by Grandma Kang's arrangement. Before she could react, Ji Xun leaned over and put his arms around Shang Qing's slender waist.
No longer being pretentious, Shang Qing put her arms on Ji Xun's shoulders, wrapped them around his neck, and jumped up lightly with her slender body, her legs clamped around his thin waist.
Ji Xun quickly and skillfully protected her. Shang Qing then hung on Ji Xun's body like a sloth, resting his chin on his strong shoulder.
Shang Qing opened her lips slightly and commanded: "Xiao Xun, let's go in."
Hot air blew into Ji Xun's ears, his heartbeat quickened, and his cheeks and neck flushed pink. With his brain completely shut down, Ji Xun obeyed the command, his body stiff, and he walked out, holding Shang Qing in his arms.
Grandma Kang smiled, stood up and winked at Shang Qing without letting Ji Xun notice.
Shang Qing, lying on Ji Xun's shoulder, waved at Grandma Kang, pointed outside, and swung her feet, looking very happy.
Grandma Kang shouted outside, "Here they come, here they come."
Arriving in the courtyard, Grandma Kang went to the gate and opened it, only to see a delivery man standing at the door carrying a birthday cake.
"Thank you for your hard work." Grandma Kang thanked the delivery man and took the cake from him.
Shang Qing returned to the bedroom and began to instruct Ji Xun to help her find the cheongsam he had bought for her. She had never had the chance to wear it, so now, Ji Xun was looking for it. Although he didn't understand why, he didn't ask.
Shang Qing ran over, took the cheongsam from Ji Xun's hand, and said with a smile, "Yeah, it looks good. Xiao Xun, go wear that white shirt and black trousers."
"Oh. Okay." For any of Shang Qing's requests, he never needed to ask the reason, he just had to do it.
After closing the door, Shang Qing put on her cheongsam, tied her hair into a bun, and put on the hairpin Ji Xun had given her. At this moment, she was gentle and delicate, exuding a graceful beauty that made people admire her.
When Ji Xun saw Shang Qing like this, she looked like a fairy in a painting, with a graceful figure and unparalleled elegance, yet she gave him a unique sense of tranquility and grace. He was obsessed with her.
"Handsome! So handsome!" Shang Qing circled around the tall and straight Ji Xun, becoming more and more satisfied the more she looked at him. A white shirt was the perfect outfit for a handsome man, and the simple lines outlined his perfect figure. His broad chest and upright and handsome posture exuded a noble and elegant temperament.
When Ji Xun heard Shang Qing's comment on his handsomeness, a blush flashed across his cheeks.
There were so many beautiful things said about his appearance, but he never felt any ripple in his heart, nor did he care. But when Shang Qing said the word "handsome", he became shy.
