Chapter 54

Jiang Ping seemed completely oblivious to Li Qian's deliberate dressing up today. His gaze lingered on the girl for a moment, then he said indifferently, "You're here. Let's start reviewing."

Li Qian had not expected such a reaction from Jiang Ping. She even deliberately turned around twice in the spot to try to get his attention. However, reality disappointed her again. This time, Jiang Ping didn't even look up at her, but instead flipped open his textbook.

Feeling ignored despite her careful preparation, the girl was both disappointed and sad. However, Li Qian was always a sensible girl and knew there must be a reason for Jiang Ping's behavior. So she didn't throw a tantrum or show him a bad attitude. Instead, she came to his side and asked softly, "You seem to have something on your mind. What's wrong?"

Jiang Ping indeed had something on his mind. Since last night, he had been thinking about how to earn enough money in a short time. This thought had been lingering in his mind, so he had overlooked Li Qian's deliberate dressing up.

Now that Li Qian suddenly asked, Jiang Ping didn't think much about it and answered instinctively, "I do have something on my mind. I'm short of money!"

Li Qian couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask, "Why would you be short of money?"

This question brought Jiang Ping back to his senses. He couldn't tell her the truth, so he made up an excuse, "I plan to try starting my own business after the college entrance exam. I just need a bit of startup capital."

Jiang Ping had intended to brush off his unintentional remark, but it piqued Li Qian's interest even more. She asked curiously, "You don't plan to go to college? Why do you suddenly want to start your own business?"

"Of course I'm going to college, but I also want to start my own business!" Jiang Ping said surprisingly, "Actually, it's all because of you!"

"Because of me?" Jiang Ping's words confused Li Qian even more, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Faced with the curious Li Qian, Jiang Ping's tendency to talk too much kicked in again. He smiled and said to her, "Your grades are so good, you'll definitely get into Fudan University in Shanghai. I'll be lucky to get into a second-rate local university. So I have to start a business after the college entrance exam. Only if I succeed in my career can I match up to you!"

Jiang Ping's words made Li Qian extremely happy. She looked at him shyly and said, "You're just talking nonsense!"

"I'm serious," Jiang Ping insisted he wasn't joking, then whispered, "You look really beautiful today, especially in that short skirt. Tsk tsk... I like it!"

Although Li Qian had dressed up for Jiang Ping, she still blushed deeply at his words and lowered her head, saying softly, "If... you like it, that's good!"

The shy and embarrassed look on the girl's face made Jiang Ping very moved, making him hesitate whether to take action and use this opportunity to take their relationship to the next level.

However, at that moment, Li Qian suddenly remembered something important and quickly said to Jiang Ping, "By the way, do you remember when you told me to remind my dad that he might encounter something unexpected soon?"

Li Qian's words invigorated Jiang Ping, and he quickly dismissed his previous thoughts, asking seriously, "Of course I remember. Is Mr. Li okay?"

"Your dream was quite accurate!" Li Qian smiled at Jiang Ping, "My dad did encounter something, but it wasn't bad; it was good!"

Jiang Ping genuinely didn't want his responsible homeroom teacher to encounter any misfortune, so Li Qian's words also made him relax. He patiently waited for her to continue.

Li Qian then told Jiang Ping, "Yesterday, my dad received a call from Director Liu, saying that the school has basically decided to appoint him as the head of the math department. They just need to announce it officially after the college entrance exam!"

"Mr. Li is going to be the head of the math department?" Jiang Ping stroked his chin and said, "That means he's getting a promotion!"

"A small promotion!" Li Qian laughed, "But my dad has worked hard for so many years, and my mom and I are very happy for him!"

"I'm happy for him too!" Jiang Ping also smiled, expressing his feelings. He was also excited to have a better understanding of the fortune-telling ability.

Although the head of the math department is indeed a small position, Li Linxiang's promotion still indicated that purple represents official luck. The purple aura Jiang Ping saw on Li Linxiang's forehead was very faint, indicating that he wouldn't reach a higher position.

In addition to understanding that purple represents official luck, Jiang Ping also realized another important point. The size of the aura on the forehead is closely related to the timing of the luck it represents.

For example, the various auras Jiang Ping saw on others' foreheads covered the entire forehead, and those people's luck was realized quickly. The purple aura on Li Linxiang's forehead was smaller, so the official luck it represented only took effect a few days later, and the school only decided to appoint him as the head of the math department yesterday.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel very happy. This meant that the fortune-telling ability not only revealed others' luck but could also predict the approximate time of events, which would undoubtedly be a great help to him.

Understanding another secret of the fortune-telling ability, Jiang Ping felt greatly encouraged. He also thought to himself, "The next thing to figure out is the exact relationship between the size of the aura and the timing."

However, Jiang Ping knew that understanding this wouldn't be easy and would require multiple attempts and careful observation. For now, the most important thing was to get through the college entrance exam.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ping smiled at the girl beside him and said softly, "Let's start reviewing."

Although Li Qian had a good impression of Jiang Ping, she was still a diligent student and took her studies very seriously. On the other hand, Jiang Ping, when faced with the deliberately dressed-up Li Qian, occasionally became distracted, his gaze often falling on the girl's slightly protruding chest and long legs.

Li Qian naturally noticed this and would use her gaze to warn Jiang Ping not to look around carelessly. However, for Jiang Ping, the girl's warning had no deterrent effect. When he wanted to look, he would still look, showing no sign of restraint. In fact, Li Qian was just pretending to be dissatisfied with Jiang Ping. Deep down, she actually liked it when he looked at her.

Time passed slowly in this subtle atmosphere, and it was soon evening. Li Qian had to go home. Because Jiang Ping had just been injured, Li Qian planned to go home by herself. However, Jiang Ping insisted on seeing her off, and the girl, while accepting it reluctantly, was also happy with his considerate behavior.

As before, Jiang Ping rode his bicycle to Li Qian's doorstep. But just as he was about to leave, Li Qian suddenly whispered, "Wait for me here for a moment!"
