Chapter 47: Lin Bei's Social Death Scene
Song Qingning blurted out a few words without thinking, then turned and ran towards the door, not even having time to grab her laptop.
Her face flushed red as she ran to the door, then remembered something, opened the door, and ran back.
Song Qingning picked up the computer and then slammed her head against the door frame.
"oops!"
Song Qingning bumped her head, let out a muffled groan, and continued running towards the door.
The living room fell silent again.
Su Ruolan looked towards the doorway, then turned to look at her son.
With a smile, she said gently, "Son, your father and I won't interfere in your young people's affairs. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
"But there's one thing I want to make clear beforehand."
"Remember to be careful, I don't want to be a grandma so early."
Lin Jianjun stood beside him, holding a teacup. His face was still flushed, but his expression had regained the seriousness of a parent.
"Your mom is right, safety comes first."
"You can't be careless about this kind of thing before you get married, otherwise it's irresponsible to the girl."
Safety first?
Want to be a grandmother?
What is all this?
"What are you talking about?" Lin Bei stood on the sofa and patted the sofa cushions that Song Qingning had crumpled.
"Qingning and I grew up together. She was just too excited about checking her grades."
"She was in a good mood and accidentally gave me a hug, isn't that perfectly normal?"
"It's normal, perfectly normal." Su Ruolan nodded with a smile and pointed at him with the spatula.
"You two can start talking first. After all, you grew up together, and her mother and I know her inside and out."
As she spoke, she nearly knocked over Lin Jianjun's teacup, and Lin Jianjun reached out to steady it.
"We've watched Qingning grow up; she's a good student and a good person."
Su Ruolan turned and walked towards the kitchen, but after taking a couple of steps, she turned back and added,
"Just be more careful in the future, and don't hang it on your body so easily. There are adults at home, it's embarrassing."
Lin Bei sighed helplessly: "Don't misunderstand, I've already said it's not like that."
"Okay, okay, no, no." Su Ruolan waved her hand and went into the kitchen, not giving Lin Bei a chance to explain.
Lin Jianjun didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the bedroom.
Lin Bei sat back down on the sofa, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV.
He switched channels several times, and they were all broadcasting news related to the college entrance examination.
Lin Bei tossed the remote control onto the coffee table and leaned back against the sofa.
Around the same time.
Lao Gao also checked his grades at home.
He stared at the numbers on the screen for a long time.
Then he took out his phone and sent a text message to Lin Bei.
The message contained only a few words:
【Hold!】
I got into a second-tier university!
These few words perfectly expressed his feelings of both relief and frustration.
Fortunately, I didn't fail the exam.
What's frustrating is that I was just a few points away from the cutoff score for first-tier universities.
His grades were better than Lin Bei's.
However, that's all.
Su Qianqian had just received her college entrance exam results when her father called.
She scored 685 on the college entrance exam, which means she can basically choose any of the 985 and 211 universities in China.
Su Qianqian's father said calmly on the phone, "You scored 685, which puts you in the top 20 in the city. You haven't disappointed us."
"Your grandfather wants you to study at XX University of Finance and Economics, which is one of the best financial institutions in the country. It's also where your grandfather and I studied back then."
"With your current score, you're guaranteed admission."
After hearing what he said, Su Qianqian simply responded with a faint sound.
Her father never cared how much effort she had put in to achieve such results.
They didn't care whether she was happy or not.
They didn't care what university or city she liked.
Her family had already arranged everything for her after the college entrance examination results were released, leaving her with no choice whatsoever.
A feeling of suffocation swept over my entire body again.
After hanging up the phone, Su Qianqian went to the computer and opened QQ.
My husband's profile picture, "North Wind Howling," is lit up.
She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell her husband about her college entrance exam results.
After all, I never told my husband that I was a high school student from the beginning.
It would feel very strange to suddenly bring up college entrance exam scores.
Su Qianqian leaned back in her chair, staring blankly at her husband's profile picture for a while.
at the same time.
In a ward at the municipal hospital, Chen Junrong sat on the hospital bed. The stitches on his waist had been removed, but he still couldn't exert himself.
The younger brother next to him held up a laptop in front of him, the screen displaying his report card.
612 points.
"Young Master Chen, 612 points!"
"A top-tier university is a sure thing; there are very few students in our class with this score."
The younger brother next to him read the report card three times, his tone becoming increasingly exaggerated.
Chen Junrong leaned back on the pillow, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
He pushed the notebook aside, picked up the water glass from the bedside table, and took a sip of warm water to moisten his throat.
With a score of 612, you can easily choose any top-tier university.
I wonder what score that poor bastard Lin Bei will get?
I estimate that I'll get a maximum score of 500.
These past few days he's been lying in the hospital, thinking about Lin Bei's face every day.
The more I thought about it, the more I hated it, so much so that I kept biting the corner of my pillow.
But now, not only is his back injury almost healed, but his college entrance exam scores are also far ahead of Lin Bei's.
Chen Junrong placed the water glass on the bedside table and crossed his hands over his stomach.
"The class reunion is in two days. I'm going to make Lin Bei pay back everything he owes me in front of everyone."
"I'll humiliate him first, and then teach him a lesson once I'm fully healed!"
……
The next morning.
Lin Bei hadn't gotten up yet, but the living room was already bustling with activity.
Song Qingning's parents arrived at the door carrying two boxes of tea and a bag of fruit.
Lin Jianjun and Su Ruolan welcomed them in, and the two families sat on the sofa in the living room and began to chat.
Su Ruolan held Song Qingning's mother's hand and said with a smile, "You really raised a good daughter. She scored over 600 points on the college entrance exam, which has brought honor to your Song family."
Song Qingning's mother smiled and waved her hand, "Not at all, your Lin Bei is just as good."
"A score of over 500 is a sure thing for a second-tier university. Boys have great potential; they'll definitely be even better after they get into university."
Lin Jianjun was making tea beside him, speaking modestly but with an undisguised smile on his face.
"That kid barely passed the mark; he's nowhere near as good as Qing Ning."
While the four adults were chatting enthusiastically in the living room, Song Qingning quietly slipped out.
She turned into Lin Bei's bedroom door with practiced ease, and just as she was about to knock, she found that the door was not closed properly, leaving a crack the width of a finger.
Song Qingning hesitated for a moment.
Then she did something that was very much in line with her personality.
He pushed the door open and went in.
Then, Song Qingning saw Lin Bei lying on his side on the bed, facing the wall.
He held his phone in one hand and had the other hand under the blanket.
There were several wads of used toilet paper crumpled on the bedside table, and a few more sheets lying on the floor.
Song Qingning's mind went blank for a brief moment before she suddenly realized what was happening.
Then, her face instantly turned red, and she began to breathe rapidly.
"ah!"
"What...what are you doing?!"
Song Qingning covered her eyes with both hands and screamed.
She parted her fingers slightly to peek ahead.
