Chapter 65 has a feeling of chewing on leather shoes.
"Brother, how was the trip?"
On the playground, Ye Kai was taking a stroll when he was surrounded by several classmates.
Everyone was very curious about his trip to the capital for further studies and couldn't help but ask him all sorts of questions.
"It's alright, the crayfish on Guijie Street is indeed quite delicious."
"If anyone wants to travel to Beijing after the college entrance exam, they might consider this."
Ye Kai didn't talk about anything else, but focused his attention on the delicacies of Beijing, talking at length about Donglaishun, Quanjude, Dongxinglou, Baodu Feng, Hu Da, and so on, making everyone swallow hard.
"Brother, is the only thing you miss about Beijing the food?"
Xi Xi felt that something was not quite right; Ye Kai hadn't revealed anything important.
"Haven't you heard that in this life, the only things you should never miss are good food and beautiful women?"
Ye Kai patted Xixi on the shoulder, refusing to say anything more.
"I can savor the food at my own pace."
"Brother, could you tell me more about this beauty?"
The students next to him immediately started making a fuss.
"Hehe, you'll understand."
Ye Kai smiled, looked into the distance, and didn't continue the conversation.
Whether or not a candidate has qualified is something only the candidate himself knows.
Therefore, neither Chen Xiaoyu, nor Ye Kai and Shen Jiayi revealed the outcome of the matter to anyone else, and the school also wisely refrained from asking further questions.
The three people who returned to campus from Beijing, along with several other classmates who had participated in the selection process, all tacitly remained silent and refused to discuss the matter.
Even if you receive a confirmation letter from your target university, it doesn't guarantee that you'll get into the school you want. So it's best to keep a low profile.
"Jiajia, you're trending on social media!"
"I never imagined our school could produce an internet celebrity!"
On the other side of the playground, Shen Jiayi was surrounded by several girls who fawned over her, asking her all sorts of questions and flattering her.
"It's all just a coincidence. I have no idea what happened, and I'm still completely confused."
Miss Shen was very cautious at the crucial moment, and simply claimed that it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she wasn't lying. Ye Kai orchestrated the whole thing; she was just passively pushed into the trending topics and became famous for several days.
The TV station found out about this and wanted to interview her.
In a sense, Shen Jiayi can be considered the first internet celebrity from Xinghua City to trend on social media. With her excellent image, it is reasonable for her to be popular.
However, the matter was rejected by the station director as soon as it was put on the agenda, on the grounds that Shen Jiayi was a top candidate for a 985 university from Xinghua No.1 Middle School, and her studies should not be disturbed at this important moment.
As for the real reason, it was naturally because Shen Mingsun had given instructions. He didn't want his daughter to be disturbed by these things, causing her grades to fluctuate or even decline, which would be a loss.
While dealing with the female classmates who were interested in gossip, Shen Jiayi glanced across the playground and looked at Ye Kai, who was also surrounded by male classmates. She thought to herself that he must be having the same troubles as her, being under the spotlight.
Thinking of all the help Ye Kai had given her, the academically gifted beauty's heart suddenly raced, and she felt a surge of emotion.
"He suddenly became so outstanding, could he really have been reborn?"
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Shen Jiayi's mind, but she quickly shook her head and rejected it.
Hmph, he's just a charlatan.
"Jiajia, why has your face suddenly turned so red?"
The girl next to Shen Jiayi suddenly noticed the change in her and asked her with some concern.
"Probably because we were walking a bit too fast."
"Recently, I start doing practice tests as soon as I open my eyes every day. My body may be a little weak. I get out of breath after walking a few steps."
Shen Jiayi was startled and quickly made up an excuse to brush it off.
When she turned her head to look at the playground again, Ye Kai and the other boys had already disappeared behind the trees.
……
"I think I've caught a cold, does anyone have any medicine?"
At noon, Xixi asked her classmates for medicine in a muffled voice.
He is also a boarding student and happened to be without cold medicine. He has a stuffy nose and a heavy head, which are very obvious cold symptoms.
"You can't just take medicine anywhere."
"If you take the wrong medicine, it may worsen your condition."
"I'll go with you to the school clinic. Doctor Zhang is very reliable."
Ye Kai stood up and, supporting Xixi, offered his advice.
"I'll go too."
Shen Jiayi also stood up.
"You caught a cold too?"
"How come I didn't notice?"
Ye Kai stared at Miss Shen with some suspicion. Her face was rosy and bright, her skin was delicate and smooth with a faint blush, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have been carefully outlined by the spring breeze, her hair was black and shiny, and she was full of energy. A youthful aura emanated from her, and there was no sign of her catching a cold at all.
"I've been feeling a bit feverish lately, can I also pick up some Banlangen granules?"
Miss Shen rolled her eyes at him.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Ye Kai's face was practically screaming "perfunctory."
So Ye Kai helped Xi Xi up, and Shen Jiayi followed beside him with her hands in her pockets, exchanging a few words with Ye Kai as they headed straight for the school clinic.
"The young man seems a bit weak."
"But it's not a big problem; it's not a viral cold."
"I'll prescribe you a few packets of Xiaochaihu granules. Remember to dissolve them in boiling water and drink them three times a day, two packets each time. You should be jumping around again by tomorrow."
The school doctor, Teacher Zhang, is very experienced and could tell at a glance that there was nothing wrong.
"Can't you prescribe some cold capsules for me?"
"I don't like drinking those traditional Chinese medicines."
Although Xixi felt a little dizzy, her mind was still very clear, and she frowned when she heard that she had to drink Chinese medicine.
"Are you sure you want to take cold capsules?"
Teacher Zhang looked at Xixi, and a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"What... can't I drink it anymore?"
Xi Xi felt uneasy under his gaze and asked a question with little confidence.
"Yeah, you guys probably don't watch the news much either."
"Alright, since you want to take cold capsules, I'll prescribe some for you."
Teacher Zhang turned around and went to the medicine cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a box of cold capsules, and handed a strip to Xixi.
"Wei Junjie, right? Just register."
"Take two pills twice a day, and drink plenty of hot water after you get home."
After watching Xixi sign her name in the register, Teacher Zhang gave her some final instructions.
news?
Ye Kai felt that Teacher Zhang seemed to be implying something. He seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly took out his phone to check.
Sure enough, there was big news.
A gelatin production base in a certain area has run into problems. It has been discovered that some people are reprocessing recycled leather products, including leather shoes, into gelatin.
The main material used in this capsule is gelatin.
"Damn it!"
"Should I tell Xixi about this?"
Ye Kai gripped his phone, looking at Xixi who seemed hesitant to speak, scratching his head repeatedly.
"Brother, is your scalp itchy?"
Seeing Ye Kai's actions, Xi Xi asked a question out of curiosity.
"I think you should drink the Chinese herbal medicine powder instead."
Although he knew that the capsule in front of him might not be the problem, Ye Kai still felt a bit uneasy about drinking it at this time, as if he were gnawing on a leather shoe.
