Chapter 93

In the last month before the college entrance exam, Jiang Ping had already visited Li Qian's house several times. However, every time he only accompanied Li Qian to the building entrance and then left, never entering her home. But today, Jiang Ping came to report his college entrance exam results to the head teacher, so he naturally could enter with ease.

At Jiang Ping's reminder, Li Qian pretended not to know he was coming. So when Li Linxiang saw him, he was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Ping held great respect for this good teacher who had helped his family in times of need, and greeted Li Linxiang as he would at school: "Hello, Mr. Li. I received my admission notice yesterday, so I came to tell you."

Li Linxiang, of course, knew that receiving the admission notice so early meant Jiang Ping must have been accepted into a good school. He smiled and asked, "That's great! Which school did you get into?"

Jiang Ping answered honestly, "The Art Education program at Nanjing University's School of Arts."

Li Linxiang was a very responsible teacher, and he was naturally very pleased that his student had been accepted into a good school. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Good, good! You faced many unexpected challenges before the exam, and I was worried they might affect your performance. But it seems you were completely unaffected and even performed beyond expectations! Although getting into Nanjing University is no easy feat, you shouldn't become complacent. You need to study hard in college..."

Seeing her father's professional habits kick in, Li Qian quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Dad, Jiang Ping is here to share good news, not to attend your class!"

"Oh, oh, right!" Realizing his mistake, Li Linxiang sighed with some emotion, "Jiang Ping, you are no longer my student, so you don't have to listen to my nagging anymore!"

Jiang Ping, who held great respect for this responsible teacher, said sincerely, "Mr. Li, you will always be my teacher. If you welcome me, I would like to visit you often in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Ping was genuinely sincere, Li Linxiang was very pleased and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course. Whenever you have time, feel free to come!"

Li Linxiang was devoted to his teaching career, and Jiang Ping's words naturally made him very happy. However, from Li Qian's perspective, Jiang Ping was definitely saying this to please her father, laying the groundwork for frequent visits to see her.

This made the young girl both flustered and delighted. Taking advantage of her position behind her father, she sent Jiang Ping a sweet smile, as a reward for his efforts.

Li Qian's reaction made Jiang Ping realize that she had misunderstood his intentions. Jiang Ping, of course, had no intention of clarifying this beautiful misunderstanding. Instead, he took the opportunity when Li Linxiang wasn't paying attention to wink at the young girl, his satisfaction evident.

Li Qian, completely surprised by Jiang Ping's boldness, quickly turned her head away, afraid that her father might notice something.

The young girl's shy and fearful appearance also touched Jiang Ping. However, flirting with someone's daughter in front of her father was risky, so Jiang Ping quickly decided to leave after chatting with Li Linxiang for a while.

Li Qian offered to see Jiang Ping off, and they walked out of the house one after the other.

Watching his daughter quickly close the door, Li Linxiang sighed inwardly. As a teacher with decades of experience, how could he not see that his daughter had a crush on Jiang Ping? However, Li Linxiang also knew that since his daughter was growing up, such things were bound to happen. Moreover, Jiang Ping had bravely stood up to protect his daughter from thugs outside the school, showing that he was a decent person. So, even though he could see that his daughter wanted to spend some time alone with Jiang Ping, he did not stop her.

Li Qian and Jiang Ping walked side by side down the stairs, looking somewhat gloomy. After a while, she whispered, "In a couple of days, my dad is taking me to my grandmother's house. We'll stay there for a while, and by the time we return, it will probably be close to the time for me to report to Fudan University."

Jiang Ping finally understood why Li Qian was feeling down. It was because she would be going to her grandmother's house and wouldn't have much time to spend with him. The girl's attachment touched him, and he smiled, comforting her, "Don't worry. Even after school starts, I can visit you at Fudan. And during holidays and winter breaks, you'll come home, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to see each other!"

Jiang Ping's words improved Li Qian's mood, but her pride still made her whisper, "I'm not sad because I can't see you. Don't misunderstand, hmpf!"

Jiang Ping just smiled at Li Qian's attempt to cover up her feelings and then suddenly suggested, "How about this? Since we already have our admission notices, why don't we go out and play before you go to your grandmother's house? How about the water park?"

"Just the two of us?" Li Qian instinctively asked, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she inwardly regretted it, "This is a chance to be alone with him. Will he think I don't want to go out with him?"

Fortunately, Jiang Ping was not a rash young man. He knew that Li Qian was just a bit shy. He smiled and shook his head, then said calmly, "How about we invite Zhang Jun and Yu Menghua? It will be more fun with more people."

Jiang Ping had his reasons for inviting Zhang Jun and Yu Menghua. First, it wouldn't be just the two of them, which would ease the young girl's nervousness. Second, they all got along well, so it would be a pleasant outing. And since Zhang Jun and Yu Menghua were already officially dating, they would likely stick together and not bother Jiang Ping and Li Qian, making it a win-win situation.

Sure enough, when Jiang Ping mentioned inviting Zhang Jun and Yu Menghua, Li Qian immediately agreed, "Sure, I'll contact Yu Menghua when I get home. We'll go to the water park tomorrow!"

The next morning, Jiang Ping and Zhang Jun waited at the agreed-upon place for Li Qian and Yu Menghua. Zhang Jun was in awe of Jiang Ping's idea to go to the water park, and he said admiringly, "To think of going to the water park, bro, I really admire you!"

Jiang Ping gave his best friend a disdainful look, "Look at you, such a failure. Haven't you made any progress with Yu Menghua yet?"

"Can you tell?" Zhang Jun was first surprised, then dejected, "Apart from holding her hand, there's been no progress at all!"

This made Zhang Jun excited again, and he said with a mischievous smile, "That's why I admire you. Thinking of going to the water park, where we'll have to wear swimsuits. I'll get to see my Mengmeng's beautiful legs, and maybe even touch them a few times, tsk tsk..."

Seeing Zhang Jun lost in his delightful fantasies, Jiang Ping couldn't help but whisper, "A novice with no ambition and no experience!"
