Ch 56

Lou Cheng admitted his mistake: “I shouldn’t have lied to… you.” He felt that the most aggrieved thing was that it didn’t work out. He couldn’t even have s*x after an hour of hugging and kissing.

Ding Xuerun asked him: “Then which rank did you get on the exam? Second?”

“Not second…” Lou Cheng lowered his head.

“Third?”

Lou Cheng shook his head again, this time buried his head deeper.

“So, what rank are you?”

Lou Cheng’s voice was imperceptible, mixed with loss: “Eleven…”

Ding Xuerun said it’s okay, raised his hand, and stroked Lou Cheng’s deeply buried head, softly comforting: “You did very well in the exam.” Of course, ranking 11th in the country is a great achievement. Ding Xuerun has previously observed the admission rate. Although he has faith in Lou Cheng, he believes that this possibility is too small.

Lou Cheng froze for a second, and then his body loosened.  “Just so-so,” he said, his head hung low and his ears were slightly red.

Ding Xuerun helped him calculate a score range based on the admission scores of previous years.

“Under normal circumstances, you will be admitted as long as you can reach the third exam. Assuming that this year’s question is extremely difficult, you must score 360; if the difficulty is moderate, you must also score 440. If you want to be stable, the higher it is, the better.”

He took his time to help Lou Cheng check the exam papers, write down the wrong questions for him, and break through each question one by one.

Before the exam, class 4 must take a graduation photo. Girls stand in the front row and boys stand in the back row according to the height division.

When it comes to Ding Xuerun’s height, he should be in the front row of boys, with a tall man like Lou Cheng in the back. But Lou Cheng had to stand next to Ding Xuerun, and Old Dou told him not to mess around: “If you want to be together, why don’t you just stand behind him? Are you a giant baby? Even when taking a graduation photo, you must stay with your deskmate.”

Lou Cheng had no choice but to stand behind Ding Xuerun, who was standing in the most lateral position. Lou Cheng squatted down slightly and drew his palms with his hands underneath.

As soon as the graduation photos were completed, the students took out their phones, polaroids, and other photographic equipment and gathered in the classroom for a group photo.

Lou Cheng was entangled by the class: “You will become a star in the future. It is hard to say whether you still know us at that time. Let’s take a picture now, and then we can go out and brag that I was a classmate with a big star.”

Many girls took photos with Ding Xuerun. Lou Cheng noticed that a girl in the class stuffed him with a small envelope.

He was furious and left directly with Ding Xuerun.

They took graduation photos and then left class. Only half of the class is still present.

Lou Cheng reached into Ding Xuerun’s pocket, took out the small envelope, and snorted coldly, “Do you mind if I read it?”

Ding Xuerun said, “Look at it.”

When Lou Cheng opened the envelope, he discovered that the writing paper was also a slap in the face. There was only one sentence inside, but it made him so angry that his chest was stuffy.

The letter said: “My aim is also the National People’s Congress, would you like to wait for me?”

“What’s the matter with these female classmates, don’t they know you have a husband?” shouts Lou Cheng. He resisted the urge to tear up the letter and said, “I’ll return this letter to her later. Isn’t Tsinghua and Peking University excellent? Why would they want to go with you?”

Ding Xuerun returned the letter and placed it in the pocket of his school uniform “Return it to her after the college entrance exam. It will be less than a month.”

“Why are you going to wait so long?” Lou Cheng was annoyed.

“The exam will be followed by the college entrance examination. If you return it to her now, it will have an impact on her performance in the college entrance examination. Do you want her to blame us for the rest of her life?”

Lou Cheng directly pulled Ding Xuerun to the most hidden corner in the school.

Holding and kissed him: “Runrun, you are mine.”

Ding Xuerun was pressed against the wall by him, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing across the hillside.

He fixed his gaze once more, and the man ran away.

“Next physics class, let’s go. Let’s go back,” Ding Xuerun said, patting Lou Cheng who kissed him selflessly on his neck.

“The bell hasn’t rung yet.”

Ding Xuerun couldn’t help but dragged him back.

The bell rang when they returned to the classroom, and the next class was ten minutes later.

Ding Xuerun sat in his seat, his eyes behind the lens observed everyone in the classroom. He soon discovered who that man was.

Chen Zhibang looked at him and immediately stood up, not knowing whether he was scared or not, and ran out of the classroom.

Ding Xuerun also stood up. Lou Cheng asked him where he was going, Ding Xuerun said to go to the toilet.

As soon as he left the classroom, he hurried to catch up. He grabbed Chen Zhibang’s school uniform and dragged him to the men’s toilet.

Ding Xuerun’s strength cannot be said to be strong, but his eyes are so heavy that Chen Zhibang dares not resist or shout.

Ding Xuerun shoved him into the men’s toilet stall, with a gloomy face: “You want to file a complaint again?”

“Complaint…what’s the case?” He trembled involuntarily and felt that the scary person was not Lou Cheng, but Ding Xuerun.

“What do you mean?” He said calmly.

“I…I didn’t, I didn’t want to complain, I just…”

“Then why are you running?” Ding Xuerun can be sure now. The person who peeked is Chen Zhibang. “Why are you following us?”

He shrank his back: “I think the two of you are very strange…”

In fact, he has been observing for several months, and he can only be certain after seeing it with his own eyes today.

Ding Xuerun warned him coldly: “If you dare to file a complaint or spread it around, I will prevent you from taking the exam. I have many ways to prevent you from going to the examination room. Do you understand?”

Chen Zhibang was startled and nodded quickly: “I didn’t want to file a complaint, I won’t spread it.”

“This is the best way.”

Ding Xuerun didn’t tell Lou Cheng, but he kept staring at Chen Zhibang. Chen Zhibang even didn’t dare to ask a question to the teacher.  Afraid of being misunderstood by Ding Xuerun as him complaining.

In the blink of an eye, it was June.

Ding Xuerun only teaches Lou Cheng until eleven o’clock in the evening from May onwards to ensure his rest time. He asked Lou Cheng to go to bed, but he remained in the study, reading a book.

This year, for the college entrance examination, he took the liberal arts exam. There is a lot to remember in the liberal arts. He is intelligent and has a good memory, but he must carefully memorize knowledge points.

Lou Cheng is not sleepy, and he sits beside him diligently memorizing the formula. He does not enter Ding Xuerun’s room to sleep like usual. He is even more cautious when he sleeps. He just wants to give Ding Xuerun a little more time to sleep and get some rest before the exam.

Yue Yun came to see them during this time and saw two of the children sitting at the desk and the other under the floor lamp. They were both studying and memorizing.

In their city, three exam centers have been set up for the college entrance examination, and Liu Zhong high school is one of them. However, the liberal arts examination room and the science examination room are separate, which means Ding Xuerun and Lou Cheng are in separate examination rooms.

The nearest liberal arts examination room is at San Zhong high school, which is an hour’s drive away from Liu Zhong high school.

On the morning of the exam, Yue Yun’s driver sent Ding Xuerun over.

At the entrance of Liu Zhong high school, Teacher Dou was waiting for his students. He was holding a stack of admission tickets and a pocket of gel pens and 2B pencils.

“Every year, when students arrive at the examination room, they realize that they have forgotten to bring their admission cards or pens. I will wait for you here at the end of each exam and return the admission card to you. The exam’s premise is early, so I’ll wait here.”

Some students were confused by Ding Xuerun’s absence, so teacher Dou explained that Ding Xuerun had applied for the liberal arts college entrance examination. He was also concerned about Ding Xuerun’s situation, as he was the only liberal arts student in his class and was still taking the exam at other schools. He was uneasy if he didn’t see Ding Xuerun enter the examination room.

So, before taking a subject, he sent a message to ask and after the exam, he had to call and ask once more.

Ding Xuerun was resting in a hotel near San Zhong high school at noon. Yue Yun’s driver was extremely responsible, packing his food and placing it on the table. Ding Xuerun ate while having a video call with Lou Cheng.

Although the Chinese, liberal arts, and science exams are all the same, Lou Cheng did not ask Ding Xuerun for the correct answer. Instead, he was concerned about him, concerned that he would be uncomfortable in the near-40-degree heat: “Is the examination room air-conditioned?”

“Yes.” San Zhong high school facilities are very good.

Lou Cheng said that the idiot Chen Zhibang sitting in front of him: “He still dared to question why you didn’t take science classes. Can’t he understand why you didn’t take science classes with his brain?”

The college entrance examination was held over two days and consisted of four exams. It will soon be over.

Ding Xuerun helped Lou Cheng to estimate the score, which was about four hundred.

But before the results come out, no conclusion can be made.

Lou Cheng studied hard for so long, and after finishing the exam, he felt as if his entire brain had been emptied. He had never felt so relaxed before. Taking advantage of the 20 days after the exam, he bought two tickets and flew to Sanya with Ding Xuerun.

He traveled to Sanya because his father owned a seaside villa there. Lou Cheng has high standards for food, clothing, and shelter. Ding Xuerun’s consumption differs from his, and Ding Xuerun will never spend money on himself.

For example, Lou Cheng purchased a plane ticket for Ding Xuerun and insisted on giving him money.

He can’t do anything about it. He would have given Ding Xuerun more money if he hadn’t known he was involved in live broadcasting and advertising, and things would not have turned out this way.

The villa is by the sea, and the beach is just by the door.

Lou Cheng spends the entire day huddling his surfboard and going to the sea. Ding Xuerun’s swimming abilities were lacking, so he set up a hammock under the tree, held a judicial book, and read the law in the shade of the tree. He had always believed that surfing was a dangerous sport, so he was concerned about Lou Cheng and always looked up at him from his book.

His eyes flickered as the sunset and Lou Cheng could not be seen.

Ding Xuerun jumped out of the hammock and dashed towards the sea.

He turned his gaze to the sea, where he soon saw Lou Cheng lying on the surfboard, being washed back onto the beach by the waves.

Lou Cheng pressed his face against the surfboard, his eyes closed and motionless as if he were a dead fish.

Ding Xuerun had been deceived by him and no longer dared to believe him. After seeing Lou Cheng sniffing his nose, he realized he was only pretending and walked away.

The water on Lou Cheng’s skin dried up gradually. He discovered that Ding Xuerun was not approaching him. He was puzzled. He coughed a little bit of sea water out of his side and inadvertently ate some sand.

When he opened his eyes, he realized Ding Xuerun had truly left, leaving him alone.

Lou Cheng turned over and sat up, then shouted at his back in disbelief: “You won’t give me artificial respiration?” He stood up holding the surfboard. Ding Xuerun stood still on the beach and looked back, then said, “Have you heard the story of the wolf?”

Lou Cheng dashed up to him and screamed as if he had died: “Why is there glass on the ground? I was pierced!”

Ding Xuerun was hesitant because his cry was pitiful. “Really?” he shouts as he ran back to him.

“Fake.” Lou Cheng, who was crying on the ground, grabbed his ankle unexpectedly. “You did it again,” Ding Xuerun said helplessly.

Lou Cheng grabbed one of his feet directly and gnawed at his mouth with a cry: “Do you know where the wolf is here?” He dragged Ding Xuerun’s ankle and pressed him against the dense and warm white sand: “I am a wolf.”

Ding Xuerun had nowhere to hide, and Lou Cheng’s kisses fell with a sense of scrub, one by one. Ding Xuerun asked, “What’s in your mouth?”

Lou Cheng said again: “Don’t you know wolves have fangs? Did it stab you in the neck? “

“Isn’t it tooth decay?”
