Not long after New Year's Day, the final exams came soon after. By this time, the attached high school had basically finished teaching all the basic courses, and the stage of reviewing and sorting had already begun.The scope of the exam has also expanded to the entire third year of high school, and it can even be regarded as a mock exam in advance. The teacher will also classify the students according to the results of the major exams. eligibility for bonus points.

Of course, the students went all out, and the final results were mixed.

Needless to say, Ji Qiao, his number one position in science is not so easy to shake, and the distance between No.2 and No.[-] is more than ten minutes, which is unmatched.Yan Cheng was a little worse than he expected. He thought he could continue to stay in the top three, but he didn't expect that he would still fall to the fifth place because of a mistake. This time he played well and squeezed ahead of Yan Cheng with a two-point advantage. Yan Cheng smiled when he saw the back of the ranking, and only he understood what was going on in his heart.

After the final exam, I went to class for another week, and the attached high school didn't have a holiday until two days before the Chinese New Year.

Yan Cheng was swept out of the house by her grandmother as soon as she returned. Since she came back from City A last time, her grandmother never gave Yan Cheng a good face. She blamed Yan Cheng for being ignorant and unable to understand Tan Ying's mood, but secretly I feel sorry for the relationship between him and his mother, and I haven't enjoyed this kind of treatment since I was a child.So she was going abroad for a meeting with her grandfather, and took Granny Gui away by the way. Yan Cheng was alone at home and had no one to take care of the meals. In fact, grandma still hoped that Yan Cheng could go back to visit Tanying sooner, and try her best to mend their bad relationship.

Yan Cheng didn't shirk, he took his things and got on the plane without hesitation, and only called Ji Qiao before leaving.

The day after Yan Cheng left U City, Ji Qiao also packed her things from the dormitory.

Dragging her luggage downstairs, Ji Qiao was looking at the time while standing at the school gate waiting for a taxi, when she inadvertently looked up and saw two very familiar figures across the street.

At first they just stood face to face talking, one of them suddenly took a step forward to drag the other, and the other struggled, and the two started a small tug-of-war. , he wanted to leave, but was pinned against the wall of the alley from behind by the opponent's backhand.

At this time, a taxi came slowly, and the driver got out of the car and opened the back seat for Ji Qiao to put luggage.At the alley, the two were still entangled, and the crushed person couldn't break free for a while, but he didn't move. The next moment, he and Ji Qiao's eyes met with Ji Qiao's eyes.

The man's eyes lit up, taking advantage of the other person's unpreparedness, he kicked his calf backwards, the other person grunted, seeing the person who had been under control rushing towards the opposite side, he hurriedly ran after him.

Just as Ji Qiao got into the back seat of the car, the door on the other side was pulled open, and another person also got in, and locked the door with his backhand.

The master driver was startled and hesitated.

Ji Qiao didn't move, she looked straight at Wang Xitang, who came uninvited by her side, and then at Liao Yuandong, who was following with her with a vicious look on her face.

Wang Xitang was still out of breath, "Take me for a ride."

Liao Yuandong pointed to Wang Xitang through the glass outside, motioning him to get off the car, Ji Qiao heard him say, "Get out now, I can still save you a living."

Wang Xitang didn't even look at him, he just stared forward, frowning tightly on his usually indifferent face.

Liao Yuandong turned to look at Ji Qiao, with threats in his eyes.

Ji Qiao and him looked at each other, but immediately turned away, and said to the master without changing expression, "Drive."

The master stepped on the accelerator immediately, and the taxi rushed out under Liao Yuandong's murderous gaze.

After driving for a dozen or so blocks, Wang Xitang's straight back slowly relaxed. He turned to Ji Qiao and said, "Thank you..."

Ji Qiao didn't answer, just glanced at Wang Xitang's wrist, there was a circle of bluish-red fingerprints on it, and a large piece of skin was torn on the corner of her lips, and faint bloodshots could still be seen.

Aware of Ji Qiao's gaze, Wang Xitang wiped it with the back of his hand, and laughed at himself, "I guessed wrong, this girl has rabies." One bite doesn't count, and he chased to infect himself together before giving up.

Ji Qing's words were indifferent, "It would be good to find the dog's owner."

Wang Xitang was stunned, and smiled, "You really are..." He didn't say anything about the latter description, but just shook his head, "I just let this matter happen as I wanted, it's really boring if it gets bigger." And it can't make a big fuss, but now...

Seeing Wang Xitang's hesitant face, Ji Qiao didn't say any more, and took out her phone to reply to the message.

Wang Xitang asked Ji Qiao, "Where are you going?" Because Yan Cheng asked him to help investigate Chi Shuyi's affairs before, although he did not clearly state the relationship between the other party and Ji Qiao, but who is Wang Xitang, Ji Qiao's basic He also knew the information, and now it was clear that this route was not going back to Chi's house, so he was unavoidably curious.

Ji Qiao said, "The airport."

Wang Xitang was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and asked the driver to drop him off at the next intersection.Before leaving, I wanted to remind Ji Qiao to be careful, after all, Liao Yuandong held grudges unspeakably, but when I thought of Yan Cheng, I was relieved, at least until Yan Cheng didn't lose interest in Ji Qiao, Liao Yuandong would definitely be fine. of.

And myself... Wang Xitang thought, if it's not pure meat and bones, is it possible for a dog to stare at it for a lifetime?

……

As soon as Ji Qiao's plane landed smoothly, he received a call from Yan Cheng as soon as he turned on his mobile phone.

"I'm here, where are you?"

Ji Qiao walked out, and immediately saw the person standing at the head of the crowd.

Yan Cheng also saw him, and after hanging up the phone, he greeted him with a smile and took his luggage.

"I guessed that you would arrive early. Fortunately, I left early."

Ji Qiao was still flipping through her phone to look for the route, Yan Cheng said, "There's no need to search, I'll take you there, the car is just outside."

Of course, Ji Qiao didn't come to City A this time because of Yan Cheng. He came to City A because the publishing house was holding a selection event. City U was just a branch of it. This time, the publishing house held an "Excellent New Generation Cartoonist" The selection competition, online voting, and public awards years ago.Ji Qiao has been contributing articles there for nearly a year. Although the painting style and themes are relatively small and fresh, there is still a lot of room for improvement, but because of his young age and inexperience, it is already very good to have such a level, so I also won a part of the popularity. I heard that the usual reader feedback is still good, so this time I naturally got the qualification.And the relationship here, everyone also understands that he was recommended by Liao Yuandong, and his professional level is not bad, so no one in the publishing house will miss him.

Ji Qiao is not too polite, he has paid labor, and it is normal to get rewards, plus there is a generous bonus, if you don't take it for nothing, you just need to go to the headquarters in City A to receive the award.He just casually mentioned it with Yan Cheng before, and didn't tell the location. He didn't expect that Yan Wang, who has great powers and puts Ji Qiao's matter as the top priority at any time, would have a clear picture of the situation there. No, Ji Qiao's flight No, the location, time, and route of the awards are clearer than Ji Qiao himself.

Ji Qiao came to City A for the first time, and she was really not familiar with it, so she didn't argue with Yan Cheng, and got into the car with Yan Cheng.

This awards ceremony was quite lively, it was awarded semi-publicly in a creative park, and lucky readers could come to the scene to participate together, so Ji Qiao had to register first, and then formally receive the award certificate the next day .

Yan Cheng originally planned to follow up, but who knows that after the registration, the staff there has already asked Ji Qiao attentively if he needs to take him to the hotel where he is staying.They were ordered by the leader, but they didn't know Yan Cheng, so they didn't know that they were flattering on the horse's leg.

At this moment, Yan Cheng put forward his opinion again, and Ji Qiao was naturally unwilling, so he could only follow Ji Qiao to the hotel room bitterly, and stayed there for a long time, until he had to leave at night.

The next day was New Year's Eve, and the Yan family had a lot of things to do, but after one night, Yan Cheng rushed to Ji Qiao's place to report early in the morning.

The awards ceremony started at around [-]:[-] pm. The organizer set up a rather small booth, and there were sweet and lovely girl manga cosplayers constantly changing and displaying, which attracted all the nerds who came here.

Ji Qiao waited for more than an hour before it was his turn to take the stage, and there were four or five cartoonists with him, but most of them were full-time, and they were all in their twenties or thirty, which made Ji Qiao go The station there seemed particularly outstanding and youthful.Although he had a cold face, it was the first time he showed up on such an occasion, and the host asked them to speak alone.

Ji Qiao saw Yan Cheng who was sitting in the first row at a glance. He stared at him without blinking, and saw Yan Cheng mouthing to him: Don't be nervous.

Ji Qiao took the microphone from the host, still speaking concisely as usual, only introduced her work, and her name, just two sentences before and after, and then ignored the eager audience and those who wanted him to say a few more words. The host, along with those people, stepped off the stage happily.

Yan Cheng had already walked around there to wait for him. When he saw Ji Qiao, he didn't care about so many people around him and took his hand. As expected, the tentacles were cold and wet with sweat. Yan Cheng couldn't help laughing, " Okay, it's over, let's go."

Ji Qiao shook the certificate representing the award amount with one hand, and felt Yan Cheng's warm and dry palm with the other, and the two left the venue just like that.

Yan Cheng observed Ji Qiao's face, saw that he was still pursing his lips, but the look in his eyes was brisk, knowing that he should still be very happy, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

"Come home with me in a while?"

Ji Qiao's itinerary was booked very urgently. Originally, she was going back to U City after receiving the reward, and she happened to be able to go back to Chi's house for a meaningless New Year's Eve dinner. Although she didn't know whether Chi Shuxuan would come back or not, and whether Jiang Zhen was there .

Hearing Yan Cheng's words at this moment, Ji Qiao paused, but still shook her head.

Yan Cheng didn't want to give up, "My family is easy to get along with, even if you go to have a meal, you won't see them at other times."

Ji Quietly remained silent.

Yan Cheng continued his efforts, "Today is New Year's Eve, can't we celebrate the New Year together? I want to spend it with you..."

Ji Qiao looked up at him, and saw Yan Cheng's net-like gaze gradually covering him again.

"Let's have New Year's Eve dinner together and have a reunion together."

reunion……

Ji Qiao chewed these two words lightly in her heart.

"Ji Qiao," Yan Cheng saw Ji Qiao's eyes flickering, knowing that he was beginning to waver, he was both happy and a little sad, he couldn't help stretching out his arms to hug her into his arms, and said in the softest tone, almost earnestly, "Come back with me..."
