Chapter 70: What Kind of Person Am I? [Thanks for the Gift]
Seeing how excited Dragon Brother was acting, Li Qing Xue’s eyes sparkled with a mischievous grin. “Why are you getting so worked up, huh?”
Li Qing Xue suddenly seemed to have uncovered something interesting. She squinted playfully and asked, “I know! Your little heart is confused, isn’t it?”
Hearing that!
Dragon Brother only then realized he was a bit out of line. He shifted positions and said, “I’m Hu Yu Ying’s big brother. She… she’s a really kind person.”
Li Qing Xue pursed her lips, looked at Dragon Brother, and a flicker of thought crossed her mind. She opened her mouth, hesitant and awkward, but decided to ask: “And… what about me? What kind of person am I?”
Dragon Brother turned to glance at Li Qing Xue. “You? You’re a lively and spirited person.”
Hearing such a description from Dragon Brother, Li Qing Xue’s face softened into a smile, and a blush gradually blossomed. “You, you’re pretty good at talking, huh?”
All her previous worries seemed to vanish into thin air.
Sure enough, coming here was the right choice.
“You’re quite the questioner.”
“No kidding,” Li Qing Xue proudly responded.
She was naturally a lively talkative type—using a modern internet slang term, she’d probably be called a 【Social Butterfly】.
“By the way, did you listen to what I just said?”
“Yeah, I heard.”
“Do you think they’re being too much? Still saying I’m dating in school, affecting Ye Liang Chen’s studies, and that I didn’t even share my study materials with him, yet he refuses to use them.”
“I clearly didn’t affect his studying! Why do they say I did…?”
Li Qing Xue sighed helplessly, her expression full of resignation.
“Now I see it — Ye Liang Chen’s change. His head’s all about romance now. Seems like the college entrance exam doesn’t matter to him anymore.”
“He keeps saying the knight has retired for good. Really, he’s gone. Now he’s falsely accusing me of stuff, and it’s got my parents all worried.”
Dragon Brother cast a calm glance at Li Qing Xue. “If a knot can’t be untied, why not turn it into a bow? Take good care of your health and mood. The rest… let it be natural.”
This was just a gentle reminder to Li Qing Xue: don’t overthink, don’t let your emotions steer your mood. Maybe when you’re angry, the other person’s just laughing at you.
Life’s got three thousand worries swirling around.
There are endless things to fret about. If you don’t learn to regulate your mindset, how much anger will you generate in this short life?
Better to let go of all those distracting thoughts, follow the natural course—sometimes that’s the best way!
No one’s life is a smooth ride.
Li Qing Xue propped her chin with one hand, looking at Dragon Brother with curiosity. “You seem mature beyond your years. Aren’t young people supposed to be full of youthful vigor?”
“And I feel like nothing can really shake your mindset.”
“Who said that?” Dragon Brother shook his head in disagreement. “The college entrance exam really affects my mood.”
Though his grades had improved, aiming for a decent university with over 300 points was no joke.
Hearing this, Li Qing Xue’s interest perked up again.
“Which university do you want to go to?” she asked softly.
“Not sure,” Dragon Brother replied. “I haven’t really looked into colleges yet. The key is, my score is right here, so I can’t just say I want to go to a certain university and go.”
“I want to go to A University. Also, I want to see the capital. I’ve never been there before, and it must be really beautiful and grand.” Li Qing Xue looked at the river, her eyes filled with longing.
“If it’s for you, no problem… after all, you’re the top of the grade.”
Li Qing Xue let out a snort. “I seriously suspect you’re teasing me, but I have no proof!”
Though she said that, she felt pretty happy inside.
With her current grades, if everything went smoothly, perhaps she really could get into her dream school.
The college entrance exam is a turning point in life, and university is the start of a whole new chapter.
Dragon Brother had suffered the hardships of being uneducated, with limited choices in society—mainly doing physical labor.
At first, he didn’t realize it, but as he aged, his limitations became clearer.
So this time, he was even more determined to go to school—to start fresh, to experience another life.
“Ugh, physics is just too hard!” Thinking of it, Dragon Brother’s head was throbbing.
Those formulas—so sneaky and shameless…
Seeing him like that, Li Qing Xue giggled happily.
Finally seeing him troubled made her feel strangely joyful.
She didn’t know why, but seeing someone like Dragon Brother with worries in his eyes made her really happy.
Maybe even she didn’t realize it herself.
From the very start, she was coming just to vent to Dragon Brother.
But now, she was talking about everyday trivial stuff, with endless topics. It felt like she just couldn’t stop.
This shift in mood—feeling secretly delighted and happy—was uncontrollable.
“Hut Yu Ying got first in the grade on this test, too. Doesn’t she teach you?”
“But physics was definitely tricky.”
“She explains problems very carefully.” Dragon Brother spoke softly, imagining Hu Yu Ying explaining her problems so seriously, then chuckled. “That girl…”
Watching Dragon Brother mention Hu Yu Ying with that smile, Li Qing Xue felt an inexplicable sting in her heart.
The smile on his face gradually faded. “You all…”
She hadn’t even finished her sentence before Dragon Brother reached up and lightly tapped her head. “What are you thinking about all day, little brain?”
Li Qing Xue pouted and hugged her head, acting all pouty. “I haven’t said anything yet.”
“You just puffed your b*tt coquetishly… With just one look, I knew what you wanted to say!” Dragon Brother hurriedly corrected himself.
“You don’t understand Hu Yu Ying. She’s a very good person.”
A wounded child matures too early. Dragon Brother could see that, so he felt heartache.
He lay on the grass, staring straight at the clouds in the sky. “Maybe in the future, you two will still be classmates.”
Li Qing Xue’s eyes flickered. She looked at Dragon Brother lying on the grass, resting his head on his arm, looking up at the sky. “Really?”
She wasn’t sure if it was just her own guess, but it seemed like she saw a faint sadness and tenderness in Dragon Brother’s eyes—a sense of loneliness.
Li Qing Xue also slowly laid down on the grass, feeling something but unable to fully understand it.
Everyone’s background and family aren’t something they can control.
Li Qing Xue couldn’t perceive the loneliness in Dragon Brother’s eyes.
Even if she could feel it, she wouldn’t know how to respond.
That’s life—different ages, different experiences.
Maybe one day, when we grow older and look back, we’ll laugh and tell our past selves: “You were so silly!”
【Thanks for the gift, hehe… so happy…】
