Chapter 8: We’re Deskmates (8)

At the end of her sophomore year of high school, Qiao Wei was a little confused when she got her final report card. After being praised by the teacher in the classroom, she didn’t regain consciousness until she walked out of the school gate.

The first thing she did when she came back to her senses was to grab Ah Xin’s arm with great force and ask unbelievably, “I’m number one in our grade?”

”Yes, number one.” Ah Xin smiled and replied, her shallow smile was blocked under her thick bangs and dark glasses, but Qiao Wei could see clearly that Yun Xin was smiling.

Qiao Wei couldn’t stand the smile on her lips, and after letting out a long breath, she hugged Ah Xin’s arm and laughed, “Yun Xin, I’m the first in our grade, ah!”

”Yes.”

”Ow…” ‘Why is she so calm?’ The complete lack of Ah Xin’s awareness of being snatched first in her grade had diluted the beautiful sense of accomplishment Qiao Wei had, “Hey, I’m in first place, overtaking you oh, Miss Yun Xin, can’t you give a face?” ‘Why are you still acting like you’re the first of our grade and didn’t care at all.’

Ah Xin adjusted her expression and her smile widened a bit, “Congratulations, classmate Qiao Wei.”

’Ugh…’ Qiao Wei shrugged her shoulders and bobbed her head on A Xin’s arm, “I don’t fell accomplished, oh.”

She lowered her head and continued to scan the class report card, Yun Xin was in the second place, and the second best in the whole year, she had wanted to see how much difference there was between her score and Yun Xin’s, but this whole thing was a bit bad.

Just one point difference!

Qiao Wei couldn’t laugh anymore, she put away her report card, “I see, you don’t care about the one point difference, Yun Xin, wait! Next time, I’ll definitely surpass you…” She gazed at Ah Xin’s serious expression and took a deep breath, “At least my marks will be two points higher than you!”

Ah Xin smiled without saying a word, and Qiao Wei was used to that indifferent look of hers. By the way, it’s been over a year since they became friends, she’s grown tall quite a bit, but Yun Xin was still around 160 cm.

She couldn’t resist touching A Xin’s head, the corners of her mouth lightly curled, “Yun Xin ah, have you been eating pickily lately, you’re not growing.” She stretched out her long arm on A Xin’s shoulder, and brought the person into her arms in a condescending manner, and found that the other person was still looking at her, speechless, “Yun Xin, have you noticed that you look like a little wife now?”

Qiao Wei just said, while looking at Yun Xin from such a close distance, she discovered that Ah Xin’s skin was really good, ah. Rosy white skin, almost invisible pores, clear and bright eyes that was always looking at her warmly, can gave warmth and courage to people.

The eyebrows were neither thick nor thin, the eyes were large and bright, the nose was quite beautiful, and she wonder how good this face would look if the heavy bangs were lifted. Thinking so, she really didn’t hold back, and her hand was covering Ah Xin’s bangs, but just as she was about to gently lift it up, her wrist was grabbed by A Xin.

Qiao Wei was grabbed, Qiao Wei said, “Yun Xin, it’s going to be senior high school soon, do you want to change your image, for example, remove the bangs that are on the way? Get rid of them, take off these rigid black frame glasses, and wear contacts.”

”Right now I’m focused on studying,” Ah Xin said in a serious manner, as for whether it was the truth or a lie, Qiao Wei would definitely believe it was the truth.

She sighed, “Alright, after the entrance exams, I’ll bring you to change your hairstyle,” She looked at Ah Xin’s unchanging school uniform, “You also have to buy some nice clothes, Yun Xin, you’re a a girl, you can’t have such a bad time choosing clothes.”

She touched Ah Xin’s face and praised, “Wow, your face is so smooth, Yun Xin, what kind of skin care products do you use? It seems you’re rather fond of your face even though you don’t dress up, what do you use and recommend it to me.”

”Baby cream.”

‘Nani?’

Qiao Wei thought she was hallucinating, but when she heard Ah Xin was repeating I do use baby cream, she asked again, “Ba… baby cream, are you sure you use it? Baby cream works like that?”

”I use that.”

Qiao Wei’s heart was a little stirred, and she couldn’t resist pinching Ah Xin’s face, it was really smooth and tender, so she decided to go and buy some baby cream to use.

Qiao Wei decided to go back and buy some baby creams. Ever since she knew Ah Xin has good skin, she likes to touch her face whenever she can. Ah Xin is used to it and she let her do whatever she wanted. Everyone in the school knew that they have a good relationship with each other.

At first, Qiao Wei thought it was just a coincidence that Yun Xin was one point behind her in the last exam. In the future, she might surpass Yun Xin by a few points, or Yun Xin might surpass her again.

But she never expected that Yun Xin would always be one point behind her in every exam, and would always be the second best student in the school.

Ever since Lin Xiaoai’s clothes hiding incident was exposed, her personality has collapsed, and Qiao Wei’s image was saved a lot. Plus, Qiao Wei whose family had fallen from grace, instead of hanging their heads, she had worked harder than anyone else in the school, and her grades had steadily risen, becoming the school’s role model.

She was beautiful, elegant in her manners, and had once been a true Rich Miss. Now that she’s studied and worked hard, she’s a multi-talented woman, and she has tempered her pride and fierceness, and she’s no longer prickly in dealings with others, and she’s much more gentle. The fact that she worked hard and earned her own tuition was also widely spread by the school. Successively selected by the school as an outstanding student, everyone now praised Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei was getting more and more dazzling, which makes the old-fashoned Ah Xin beside her became unnoticed. The only impression everyone had of Ah Xin was that she was the second in this grade and had a good relationship with the Goddess Qiao Wei. It wasn’t that no one had tried to ruin their relationship, Qiao Wei was now easy to talk to, but only if they didn’t touch her bottom line.

Her bottom line wasn’t if people said bad things about her, but if someone said bad things about Ah Xin. Whoever says a bad word about Ah Xin, she promised that she would use her status as the School’s Goddess, and with her poisoned viper tongue would make them cry.

Some people also provoked Ah Xin, saying that Qiao Wei had stolen her position, that she should have been the top of her grade, and that Qiao Wei was simply using her to steal her everything.

In response, the corner of Ah Xin’s lips gently curled upwards, “Let her stand in the brightest place and be noticed by everyone, that’s what I want.”

The provocative female student, whose expression was somewhat shocked, Qiao Wei happened see this scene, stepped on a fast pace, stomped over and rushed over with a ferocious look, scaring the girl into screaming and running away quickly.

Qiao Wei hummed, her long arm on Ah Xin’s shoulders, smoothly bringing the person to her bosom, jokingly saying, “Little wife.” She recalled what Yun Xin had just said, ‘Let her stand in the brightest place and be noticed everyone, that’s what I want’, She didn’t know why heart was beating so fast.

She pursed her lips and secretly skimmed Ah Xin’s face, which was even better looking than last year. After the college entrance exam, she must take off Yun Xin’s glasses herself and lift up her bangs to really see what’s so special about this face!

”When I came over earlier, I heard that Lin Xiaoai and Ji Jiang had a fight.”

Qiao Wei was in high spirits to gossip, “I watched from a distance for a while, Lin Xiaoai was crying at Ji Jiang, he looked so pale, like he was eating shit, haha, he’s finally getting his retribution.”

”Yun Xin, my father went to the south before, and his business was improving, last night my mother and I talked for a while, after my college entrance exams, we will also go over to help my dad. Some time ago, I realized that Dad was so decrepit and was framed by the Ji family. Many rich people may not be able to make it through after they lose everything. Just like me at the beginning, I took a lot of hit.”

”Dad numbed himself with alcohol, I guess he was afraid that he would lose his life.”

”Yun Xin, I do think you are my lucky Goddess, ever since I met you, my family is getting better, do I have send you offering everywhere I go from now on, and pray for your blessing every day, haha…”

”Yun Xin, I want to go to a university in the south, I plan to help my father when I’m in college,” Qiao Wei hung her head, “If we have to separate, I’ll be sad.”

”Yun Xin, where are you planning to take the exam?”

In response to Qiao Wei’s pitiful eyes, Ah Xin curled her eyes, “I’ll go wherever you go.”

”Really?”

”Really.”

Qiao Wei bounced up and down with joy, hugging Xin and kissing her on the cheek with a gusto, after which she surprised her and she backed away, and said, “I’m too excited.”

She saw that Ah Xin didn’t mind at all, she stepped forward and wiped Ah Xin’s face, “We’re both girls, so kissing is no big deal.”

She looked at Ah Xin’s usually expressionless face and looked at the white cheeks that were blushing red, her heart felt a foolish desire to kiss her again, but she didn’t dare to do so and was too busy averting her eyes.

”Right, Yun Xin, why is whenever that He Meili looking at me she always going around, it’s so strange.”

Ever since that incident back then, Qiao Wei still thought that He Meili would find trouble with her, but as a result, every time she saw He Meili, she looked at her with a fearful face, her tall body seemed to be trembling, turning around and pulling her legs out to run, as if there was a ghost following behind her.

Ah Xin dropped her eyes, a flash of light behind her lenses, “You’re a representative of the school now, she was probably warned by the head teacher.” Probably, she was afraid of being beaten up, as for how many times she had beaten up He Meili, it was impossible to count.

”So ah…” After certain times, Qiao Wei’s head became bigger, “It’s not bad to be a good student in teachers’ eyes, you don’t have to make your own excuse, and the teacher will help you think of them, ah.”

Time flew by, Qiao Wei kept the first place in her grade to take the entrance exam, while Ah Xin would always be only one point behind Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei and Yun Xin walked into the examination room arm in arm, a smile on her lips, many people said that she, Qiao Wei was a top student, topping every semester, topping every subject as well, excelling ridiculously well.

She was the only one who knew the truth, that there was a person who was so smart that it was only the tip of her iceberg.

’This person will always be only one point behind me, and she is the worthy number one, foolish people, you will not understand.’

’Yun Xin, Yun Xin… Ah Xin!’
