Chapter 227 This is a feeling worse than death
In the cozy room, all the friends left and the room returned to its former tranquility and peace.
Shang Qing gave Grandma Kang a big hug, nestled in her soft embrace like a naughty baby, and asked affectionately, "Grandma, did you miss me so much?"
Grandma Kang smiled and put her arm around her shoulders. Seeing her cheerful and self-satisfied look, she deliberately teased her, "You're becoming more and more like a child. We even video-called each other this afternoon. How could I have the time to miss you so much?"
Shang Qing refused to do so. She rubbed her little head against Grandma Kang's neck, raised her head, and pouted in dissatisfaction, pretending to be angry: "Huh, as expected, Grandma doesn't love me anymore. Oh..."
Grandma Kang was amused by Shang Qing's adorable appearance. Knowing that her precious granddaughter was in good health, she pinched her smooth, fair little face and said lovingly, "You are such a living treasure! How dare grandma not love you? Grandma loves you the most, you living treasure."
Ji Xun looked at this loving and heartwarming scene, with a happy and beautiful smile on his gentle face. Under the light and shadow, he looked like a god descending to earth, sacred, noble and heart-warming.
Shang Qing, who happened to be looking sideways, happened to see this scene. Ji Xun's clean smile seemed to have a special appeal, and it happened to fall into her eyes. Her pupils trembled slightly, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
When did her brother become so heart-pounding and impossible to look away from? Why did her heart beat faster when she looked at his face now?
Realizing this, Shang Qing was at a loss for a moment, and even a little panicked.
Worried that her abnormal mood would be discovered, Shang Qing turned her head away and stopped looking at the gentle and delicate young man Ji Xun, and focused all her attention on Grandma Kang.
Ji Xun, who was watching the interaction between Shang Qing and Grandma Kang with a gentle smile, had no idea that the girl he loved deeply had also thought about him?
Although it was only a fleeting moment of bewilderment, and her heartbeat only accelerated for unknown reasons, Shang Qing still had a tiny seed planted in her heart, waiting only for it to break through the soil and sprout and grow!
Two days passed in a flash. Shang Qing returned to the courtyard. Enticed by Grandma Kang's delicious food, she looked even better. Her sickly appearance was long gone.
Today was the deadline for filling out college entrance exam applications. It wasn't until the website closed that Shang Qing and Ji Xun exchanged a knowing glance and a knowing smile. Finally, they could be free, without having to worry about each other.
Logically speaking, Ji Xun and Shang Qing had gone through special channels, and it was a done deal, so why should they still be concerned about the specific details of filling out their applications? And even more so, why should they be so nervous and vigilant about it?
In fact, the reason is very simple.
The reason for this lies with Grandma Kang. That day, she heard from Grandma Li about a case in previous years where a classmate, out of jealousy, changed their classmate's college choice. That child, despite having the best academic records at a prestigious university, ended up attending a lowly vocational college. Their lives were ruined, and they were unable to seek justice.
Ever since she heard about this incident, Grandma Kang has been living in fear and anxiety every day. She is terrified that her two little grandchildren will also be targeted by bad people. If such a situation happens, she will be furious.
Ji Xun and Shang Qing were not willing to let Grandma Kang worry!
They both secretly exchanged glances and nodded, agreeing that the old man's concerns were justified. They would definitely pay close attention to this matter! Especially Ji Xun, who knew more about computer operation and technology, he would definitely be in charge of the overall situation.
Shang Qing couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Ji Xun being stared at by Grandma Kang, with his handsome and cute look as if he was on high alert.
When Ji Xun saw her cute and soft smile, his heart felt like it was about to melt into a pool of water.
However, in order to prevent Grandma Kang from getting too nervous, Ji Xun also specifically told her that he and Shang Qing had already made the decision internally and no one else had the right to interfere. Only then did Grandma Kang feel a little relieved.
But this matter did affect Grandma Kang. To reassure her, Shang Qing and Ji Xun sat down at their computers, opened their papers before the deadline, and carefully reviewed them. They even asked Grandma Kang to review them once more before submitting them.
Although the internal arrangements have been finalized, the process still needs to be followed. Especially with Grandma Kang taking it so seriously and watching over it so seriously. She's genuinely worried, and it reflects her concern and worry for her younger generation.
As the younger generation, we should cherish this unique love and care.
Seeing that the deadline was approaching, Grandma Kang was completely relieved. She smiled with satisfaction, hugged Shang Qing and left to eat delicious food.
Ji Xun sat back at the table with a helpless smile, but after Grandma Kang and Shang Qing completely disappeared from his sight, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes deep and cold, and the coldness and ruthlessness on his delicate and handsome face was something Shang Qing had never seen before.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips as he opened them slightly. "The registration period has passed. Zhang Qing, your university dream is over. Are you still satisfied?"
At this moment, Zhang Qing was locked in a dark, damp woodshed. She was covered in wounds, tears streaming down her grimy face. But if you looked at her expression, her once delicate features were now gaunt and ungainly, like a completely different person. Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with ruthlessness and bloodlust.
She hated it so much. So much! Zhang Qing wished she could tear everyone who had hurt her into pieces, to finally feel better.
Originally, everything was going well in the past few days. She just needed to extort some money from Shang Qing and then leave with the money.
Although she was forced to transfer to a third-rate school, her grades have always been good, and coupled with her crazy study, she still has several good universities to choose from.
Everything was going just as she'd planned. Zhang Qing analyzed the situation, wanting to reconsider filling out the application. However, the thing she couldn't accept the most, the thing that made her tremble with fear, was this: Zhang Qian had been released! He'd been framed!
The most crucial thing is that Zhang Qian somehow found out that it was her who framed him, which led to him being imprisoned and tortured for so long.
So, after returning, Zhang Qian snatched Zhang Qing's mobile phone and in front of her, the phone emitted a pungent smell in the flames.
Then, Zhang Qing finally experienced what it meant to live a life worse than death!
Zhang Qian locked her in this room, kicking and punching her. Whether he pleased or not, Zhang Qing became his punching bag. Even the over a thousand yuan she had saved was taken away.
When Zhang Qing's parents learned that it was her fault that Zhang Qian was imprisoned, they scolded her and simply ignored her.
The whole family regarded her as a nuisance. That was why she was now living a life worse than death, wanting to escape and struggle!
At this moment, Zhang Qing counted the days. Knowing today was the last day to register, she was on the verge of despair and collapse! She had no chance. Her university, she had no chance!
Since these so-called relatives treated her like this, how could she possibly let them go?
Zhang Qing's face, which was not good-looking to begin with, was now dirty and hideous, like a ferocious beast flashing a vicious, dangerous and cruel cold light in the darkness!
