Chapter 6: The Killer Move

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Qiao Yu looked at her and suddenly spoke, "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time"

During the holiday, Ji Xuan did not make a sound; it has been a few days since the school started, and her presence is still not seen

Ji Sixuan subtly dodged, responding with a cheerful smile, "Just kidding! It's not serious, and I have a scar-free constitution, so I definitely won't leave any scars."

After exchanging glances and nodding, several teachers began to ask routine questions

The figure quickly pushed the door open and entered. Unlike her usual light footsteps, she hopped in, with a bandage wrapped around her right foot. When she saw Qiao Yu, she smiled briefly, but soon retracted her smile and sat down properly in the chair

After speaking, he seemed to recall something and added, "This is only for the junior sister; the junior brother still needs to leave some for those senior sisters."

That smile appeared somewhat distant, somewhat indifferent, and also... too serious in Qiao Yu's eyes, as if after a holiday, everything had changed a little.

Qiao Yu: "She is very intelligent, so there should be no problem."

After Ji Sixuan went out, several teachers began to discuss.

Qiao Yu: "That's right, that's right"

Xiao Ziyuan and Wen Shaoqing exchanged a glance, both looking at Qiao Yu with a similarly profound meaning

Qiao Yu suddenly smiled, her picturesque features instantly radiating tenderness, "If you really like it, I can learn it. I think it shouldn't be too difficult."

Ji Sixuan glared at that calm figure, gritting her teeth

"I have never put shoes on any other girl, except for my sister." With her long, clean fingers skillfully tying a bow, Qiao Yu then raised her head to look at Ji Sixuan again, still maintaining a half-kneeling posture. "I am not as good as I appear on the surface; I have many small flaws, nothing particularly good about me. I do not understand romance, I am not very good at taking care of others, I am rather dull, and I cannot speak sweet words. Being with me may not be as good as you imagine it to be."

A few teachers laughed a few times before getting straight to the point, and then asked several professional questions

Do you know Lu Xun? Do you know why Mr. Lu Xun chose to abandon medicine and pursue literature?

Qiao Yu hesitated for a long time, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know."

Qiao Yu: "Hmm, it is evident that there is some foundation."

The long-silent Fu Hongmiao raised his eyes to look at him, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Yu looked at Ji Sixuan, perhaps because he had never seen her speak so seriously, he felt somewhat reluctant to interrupt. It was not until the sound of the game ending rang out that Ji Sixuan lifted her head from the phone screen to look at him, and with a light and carefree tone, she said, "So, Senior Brother Qiao, I give up. I will no longer cling to you in the future"

Lin Chen smiled without answering, turned his head to glance at the other two in the dormitory, and then fixed a meaningful gaze on Qiao Yu

Teacher A: "Well, that is true; her grades are the best among these individuals"

After speaking, he turned around to call the nurse

Damn it! Qiao Yu, I even unleashed my trump card, yet it still doesn't work?! Are you even a man?!

Several teachers expressed their agreement, while Qiao Yu continued to mind his own business with a sullen expression

Qiao Yu regained his composure and called out to Lin Chen, who was about to go to class, "Let's have dinner together tonight, and invite your sister as well."

After the interview, when Qiao Yu found Ji Sixuan in the school hospital, she was sitting on the hospital bed by the window receiving an IV drip. With her head tilted, she was gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought. The uninjured leg dangled off the side of the bed, swinging back and forth. Upon hearing footsteps, she turned her head to look over and, seeing Qiao Yu, she was not surprised. She smiled politely and called out, "Senior Brother Qiao."

At that time, he finally understood that perhaps there are not so many coincidences in this world; what is called a coincidence is ultimately the result of one person putting in some effort secretly, while the other person remains unaware of it

Qiao Yu looked up at Ji Sixuan with a somewhat amused expression, then lowered his head to tie his shoelaces

Qiao Yu did not expect the professor to be so direct, and was somewhat taken aback, "Ah?"

The boy in front of him said something, but he hardly paid any attention to it. When the boy went out, he heard a voice at the door calling "Ji Sixuan," and his gaze remained fixed on the entrance.

Qiao Yu, feeling a bit embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "I haven't done anything, it's just... let's get straight to the point."

After the teacher made a comment, Qiao Yu unconsciously responded in a low voice. After a few exchanges, the atmosphere became somewhat strange

Qiao Yu stood in front of her, responded softly without looking at her, but instead lowered his head to adjust the speed of the IV drip, and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?"

He gently furrowed his brow and murmured softly, "Not ugly, not ugly at all"

Ultimately, the meal was not consumed, but a few days later, Qiao Yu still met Ji Sixuan

In the past, while walking around the school, he never knew when she would suddenly appear, laughing and calling his name. There were so many "chance encounters" on the campus paths, in the classrooms, and in the cafeteria. But now, he tries to search for her figure, yet there is none to be found

The order of the interviews was disrupted, and Ji Sixuan was scheduled relatively late. After a few interviews, Qiao Yuhan, unusually, felt a bit suppressed and impatient. When he finally reached the person just before Ji Sixuan, he felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.

Why did you initially choose to report to the medical school

Qiao Yu looked at the other teachers who were trying to suppress their laughter, their faces turning red, and he felt even more at a loss, lowering his head to look at the interview list in his hand

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent. Qiao Yu was inherently a quiet person, and usually, it was Ji Sixuan who would tease him into conversation. Now that Ji Sixuan had also quieted down, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

His profile is gentle and delicate, and his voice is soft and pleasant. "Since I recognized you at https://www.hetushu.com, I have seen you always joking around without any seriousness, so I took it as a joke and didn't give you a proper response. Besides, who would confess to someone so frivolously in public like you do?"

Qiao Yu: "It just seems that way; her grades are quite high, so she should be fairly good."

During the major transfer interview in the architecture department, Professor Fu Hongmiao, who has a playful personality, called upon his star student Qiao Yu. Before the interview began, he was teasing Qiao Yu, saying, "If you take a liking to anyone later, just give me a signal, and we will arrange for her to be your wife."

Qiao Yu looked somewhat embarrassed and turned his gaze elsewhere, "That... there are many people, it's lively."

At this moment, Ji Sixuan was already stunned

Ji Sixuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again, "Well, I have been indulging in good food and being lazy during the holidays, and I've gained weight. I feel too unattractive to meet you."

At this time, there were not many people in the infusion room, and the only sound was that of the air conditioning blowing. Ji Sixuan seemed to have no intention of breaking this silence, no longer paying attention to Qiao Yu, and lowered her head to idly take out her phone and start playing a game

This call of "Senior Brother Qiao" made Qiao Yu's heart skip a beat; in the past, it was incredibly difficult to get her to address him as Senior Brother, as she always cheerfully called him Qiao Yu without any formality.

Ji Sixuan wrinkled her nose in disdain, "Using a cane is too ugly"

As the sun sets in the west, she sits at the edge of the bed while he kneels before her, one hand gently holding her foot resting on his knee. The boy smiles brightly, his features clear and radiant, while the girl, her face slightly flushed, stares in astonishment. With her head lowered, her fine, long hair falls down, swaying gently in the breeze beside the boy.

In the assignments submitted by Ji Sixuan, there are traces of your handwriting; don't think I can't tell. Didn't I just say, if you like it, speak up? The old professor picked up a pen and made a few strokes on the paper, not forgetting to greet a few other teachers with a wave of his hand, "This one is approved, call the next one."

Qiao Yu looked for a few seconds, then quickly bent down to pick up the shoe, and then half-knelt in front of her, gently taking her foot and placing it on his knee, bowing his head seriously to put the shoe on her.

Ji Sixuan stared at her injured foot, "It doesn't hurt anymore, but I don't know if it will leave a scar. If it leaves a scar, I won't be able to wear pretty dresses."

Qiao Yu turned to look at the infusion set, the medication dripping drop by drop. When he counted to 298, Ji Sixuan's voice slowly emerged amidst the game's music. Her fingers danced across the screen, her tone carrying a hint of distraction. "That day, I went to get water to find you. When the thermos exploded, I saw a girl standing under the tree confessing to you, and you smiled gently and shook your head. In that moment, I felt as if I saw another version of myself, so humble, so..." That day, I went to get water to find you. When the thermos exploded, I saw a girl standing under the tree confessing to you, and you smiled gently and shook your head. In that moment, I felt as if I saw another version of myself, so humble, so... so overreaching. I suddenly understood that perhaps to you, I am no different from anyone else. How you treat me is how you would treat others. It turns out, you really do not like me.

Qiao Yuu'an quietly listened to the end, and under Ji Sixuan's gaze, he showed no reaction at all. Soon, he looked up at the IV bottle and said, "It's finished dripping, I will go call the nurse to remove the needle for you"

The other teachers present are all students and juniors of Fu Hongmiao, wanting to laugh but not daring to do so

The old professor has seen everything, jokingly teasing him, "I see you clearly favor people over matters, so, do you know him?"

Teacher B: "Well... these few pictures are actually quite well drawn"

How to walk without a cane

Qiao Yu observed her calm and unhurried responses, seemingly well-prepared, completely unlike her previous inattentive and unreliable demeanor during their study sessions. Her answers were undoubtedly far superior to those of the previous competitors.

Then why switch to the architecture department? Isn't the medical school quite good

Her voice and the sound of the book were somewhat disheartened, yet Qiao Yu did not know how to comfort her. He bent down to check the bandage on her foot, asking, "Is it very serious?"

Qiao Yu glanced at her, unsure if it was due to her injury, but not only had she not gained weight, her small face, which was the size of a palm, seemed to have become quite thin. What worried him even more was her nonchalant demeanor.

Ji Sixuan laughed, "Senior brother, have you developed amnesia? Didn't we just see each other during the interview?"

Ji Sixuan answered honestly, "The thermos exploded and caused burns"

Teacher C: "The transfer from the medical school is quite significant, as I haven't studied the foundational courses. I am unsure if I will be able to keep up after the transfer"

The old professor suddenly realized, "Are you interested?"

The liquid in the infusion set dripped down drop by drop, and Qiao Yu seemed to hear his own heartbeat, "I mean, it seems like I've only seen this once recently"

At the beginning of the new semester, Qiao Yu still exhibited abnormal behavior, sitting in the dormitory in a distracted state, staring blankly at her phone.

This little girl is quite interesting

He paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was gentle and clear, subtly laced with a hint of a smile, "I have never said these words to any other girl, including my sister."

Because the examinations at the medical school are exceedingly difficult

As Lin Chen was about to respond, he noticed Qiao Yu hesitating to speak, "By the way, let's call everyone from their dormitory as well"

Ji Sixuan's gaze swept over the faces filled with disbelief, and she added, "It was really just a slip of the hand..."

Ji Sixuan coughed lightly and quickly spoke, "My hand slipped"

... ...

Hahaha ... ...

Soon, a teacher asked, "What happened to the little girl's foot?"

Teacher A: "The little girl seems a bit unreliable, she even managed to make a mistake in her application for college majors"

The nurse removed the needle, and while Ji Sixuan pressed on the back of her hand to stop the bleeding, she listlessly used her uninjured foot to reach for her shoes
