Some people are fighting for the college entrance examination, and at the same time, there is also a group of people who are fighting, but they are fighting for the middle school entrance examination. Tong Yao's goal is very clear, that is Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School. Shi Ke'er has also set her goal as Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School. Regardless of whether she can get in or not, her determination is destined to be with Tong Yao.
She always wanted to take advantage of the school dismissal, wandering around Tong Yao's classroom, hoping to catch a glimpse of his figure, as long as she followed behind him counting his footsteps, she was exceptionally satisfied, like such a silly girl, not just one, it's not an exaggeration to describe her with a dozen adjectives.
But these girls didn't know that the boy they secretly loved had already given his heart to someone else, and his world would forever revolve around hers, just like how the earth revolves around the sun, unless Mars crashes into Earth, otherwise the earth will continue to rotate endlessly without a starting point or an ending point.
Back home, no one was there. As soon as Tóng Yào entered the living room, he saw Tóng Jǐng with a massager on his head, holding a book in his hand and reading it, muttering to himself.
"Sister—" Tóng Yào took off his shoes and walked to her side, "You're reading English again. Now that you're doing physical therapy, you should relax your mind—" As he spoke, he snatched the English book out of Tóng Jùn's hand.
Tong Jing nodded, obediently like a little white rabbit.
She now only wants to be a little better to Tong Yao, she knows that soon she will leave Hangzhou for Beijing, no one can replace herself to take care of Tong Yao, in the limited time, being able to talk to him is to talk more with him, being able to make him happy is to make him happier.
"Sister, do you really have to take the college entrance exam?" Tong Yao's awkward smile was like that of a child who had done something wrong, his eyes were dull and unhappy.
Tong Jing nodded silently, saying nothing.
"Do you have to go to Beijing?" Tong Yao asked with a helpless smile and an almost calm tone.
"Right!" Tong Jing finally spoke up, just one word, quick, fierce and accurate.
Tong Yao's smile that was about to emerge finally turned into sorrow. He slowly squatted down, resting his head on Tong Jing's knee, wrapping his arms around Tong Jing's waist, "Sister, let Bai Yang take the exam in Hangzhou, even if you two are together it doesn't matter, but please, don't go to Beijing, don't go so far away, can't you?" The sob was almost uncontrollable, stuck in his throat, hoarse and causing a wave of heartache.
"I... want... to... go... to Beijing" Tong Jun said each word with difficulty, lifting her head up, not wanting tears to fall from her eyes.
"Why can't it be like this, I don't expect you to love me, go and love your Bai Yang, go and love him if you want, but I just can't bear the thought of not seeing you every day, sister, please, I'm begging you on my knees, don't leave Hangzhou, don't leave me——" Tong Yao really knelt down on the ground, tears and snot flowing freely as he grasped at Tong Jing's hem like a lifeline, shaking it back and forth in entreaty.
"Get up!" Tong Jing tried to help Tong Yao up from his knees, but unfortunately, he couldn't exert any strength with his right hand.
"Don't get up, unless you promise me not to go to Beijing. Sister, promise me, promise me..." Tong Yao was like a rascal at this moment, refusing to get up and crying until his voice was hoarse. He had already compromised, he had been forced into a dead end by Tong Jing, he let her be with Bo Yang, just hoping to see her, but why, why wouldn't she promise, why wouldn't she agree?!
"Get up!" Tong Jing commanded sternly, knowing she absolutely couldn't show weakness now. Nobody could understand her, but nobody could disrupt her plan either - the plan to rescue Dad. She didn't want to tell Tong Yao the reason, not wanting him to feel guilty or blame himself.
"Waaaahhh... - Sis, you love Bai Yang that much, to the point of being reckless and abandoning me. I hate him, I hate him for taking everything away from me..."
"I'm calling you to get up, did you hear me or not!" Tong Jing herself didn't realize that she had said this sentence in one breath, without even a pause, her heart was like a thorn that was fiercely piercing and hurting, it hurt so much.
Tong Yao knelt on the ground, tears still streaming down his face as he shook his head vigorously.
"You, you! When will you ever grow up!" Tong Jing bent down and slapped Tong Yao's body heavily with her left hand, again and again, until she couldn't control herself and burst into tears. She continued to hit him while crying, her hands numb from the blows. "Why do you always have to be like this!" Suddenly, she started coughing violently, her voice hoarse and indistinguishable as she spoke.
Tong Yao was frightened and quickly got up, "Sister, don't cry, and don't speak now——"
Tong Jing's tears could no longer be held back and flowed down uncontrollably, his body shook violently, and he couldn't stop coughing dryly.
"Don't scare me, sis. I'm calling Dr. Hu right now—" she said, quickly picking up the phone and rapidly dialing a string of numbers.
On the other side, Yang Pu stood outside Wang Jiale's door and pressed the doorbell.
"Who's there?" A clear voice came from inside the house.
"Yes, Yang Pu!" Yang Pu stood outside the door, frowning and responding loudly.
"Yang Pu?" The other person opened the door with a bit of disbelief, "Heavens, it's really you!" Wang Jiale's eyes widened in an instant, her hand grasping the doorknob, forgetting to let go for a long time.
"Is your dog here?" Yang Pu glanced into the house with an arrogant attitude, pretending to be looking for the dog to settle a score.
"What's wrong with my dog!" Wang Jiale hadn't finished being shocked by the previous wave when he was shocked again by this one.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I'm here to settle scores with your dog! I've got a score to settle with it!"
"It's not there!" Wang Jiale immediately began to groom her family's purebred golden retriever.
"Hey Cheng, your dog is gone, now let's settle the score!" Yang Pu's face was stern, like a debt collector Yan Luo Wang, so arrogant.
"Are you intentionally trying to pick a fight, Yang Pu? Can't you just speak nicely for once?" Wang Jiale was surprisingly calm at this moment. She had endured so much from Yang Pu that only she knew the depth of her feelings, and she had long since become numb to it. If one day Yang Pu suddenly spoke to her in a gentle tone, she would actually find it unfamiliar.
Wang Jiale hasn't seen Bai Yang and Yang Pu for almost half a year, after all they are one year apart in age, and now they're not even in the same school. She really thought that her longing for them had become an unintentional seed buried deep in her heart, only sprouting in specific environments. But it's not like that, as long as they appear before her eyes, that heart-pounding feeling still remains.
