The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her! - Chapter 45

Chapter 45 – Lian Qingxue’s Little Sadness!

Walking towards the orphanage, Lian Qingxue kept her neck stiff and turned her face away from Qi Yun, trying to ignore and not want to talk to him.

While walking, she deliberately kept a distance of two steps away from him.

“If I say that my hand acts on its own, I can’t control it. It’s not intentional. Would you believe me?”

Qi Yun tried to explain and even put on a very sincere look to persuade Lian Qingxue.

“Is that so?” Lian Qingxue said calmly, “Does it feel good when you touch me?”

“Very good!”

This guy, why wasn’t he so quick to speak up in the past?

Lian Qingxue looked at him sideways and said disdainfully, looking up, “Humph!”

After a long time, Lian Qingxue didn’t believe in Qi Yun’s morality in a particular area.

Not intentional?

Liar!

Qi Yun wanted to talk to Lian Qingxue again, but Lian Qingxue ignored him.

When they arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, Lian Qingxue suddenly stopped.

She lowered her head and didn’t look at Qi Yun. She dragged her toes on the ground.

“Aren’t you going in?”

Qi Yun was confused, looking at Lian Qingxue as if she had something to say.

Lian Qingxue remained silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head, closed her eyes, stood on her tiptoes, and hugged Qi Yun.

Under the streetlamp, the two shadows merged into one.

After a long time, Lian Qingxue let go of Qi Yun and took a deep breath.

“I… I just want to pay back the money sooner! I still haven’t forgiven you!”

She didn’t even dare to make eye contact with Qi Yun as she uttered those words, leaving with a cold and intimidating remark.

Qi Yun watched Lian Qingxue’s lonely figure as she hurried away, and a triumphant smile spread across his face.

……

The footsteps leading to the entrance examination in Spring City’s Chuncheng No.1 Middle School were getting closer.

The atmosphere in the entire third year became quieter, with fewer students entering the corridors and using the bathroom.

A sign board displaying the number of days left until the college entrance examination was prominently hung in front of the classroom by the School administration.

Every day, someone from the administration would change the number on it. With each change, the atmosphere in the class became more tense.

At the last moment, each subject teacher began to use many tactics, vowing to open students’ minds and cramming as many questions as possible into their heads.

On everyone’s desk, there would be a few new test papers on it every day, as if they could never finish writing them.

……

In math class, Mr. Xu stood at the podium, pounding on the blackboard with a hoarse voice.

“This particular knowledge point may not be commonly tested, but there have been instances where it played a significant role in the exam. Two years ago, a major question caught many off guard. You must remember!”

Everyone in the classroom was busy taking notes with their heads down.

“Now, let’s look at a topic that uses this knowledge! This is a factual question of the college entrance exam, the final question of that year, with 20 points!”

He wrote a question on the blackboard.

The topic was difficult. Mr. Xu explained it carefully and in great detail, writing the solution step by step on the blackboard.

Even after he finished, he asked the students if they understood the entire topic.

“Did you understand?”

The expressions of the students were: “Who am I? Where am I? What are you talking about?”

“…… I’ll do it again!”

He wiped the answers off the blackboard again and started solving them again.

……

“Did you understand?” Qi Yun asked Lian Qingxue beside him.

Lian Qingxue also had a blank face, looking at Qi Yun and shaking her head as if she didn’t understand anything.

It wasn’t surprising that they couldn’t understand it completely. Although the problem only required a high school level of mathematical knowledge, the overall approach was a transformation of more advanced mathematical concepts.

It would be considered an outlier if it were a college entrance examination question.

That year’s college entrance examination, candidates must have cried.

Even though Lian Qingxue’s grades were good, it took time to understand this answer quickly.

“It’s very simple. Just grasp this equation ……”

Qi Yun picked up the pen, slowly wrote out the steps of the answer on the draft paper, and told it to Lian Qingxue.

After he finished, he asked, “Do you understand?”

Lian Qingxue nodded her head, but she seemed to be a bit sullen.

She rested her chin on the desk, cheeks puffed out, and held her breath in frustration. Sensing her annoyance, Qi Yun glanced at her and playfully poked her face with a pen.

“Pfft ……”

Her face instantly deflated like a little balloon.

Lian Qingxue was not too happy, to begin with, and after Qi Yun made fun of her, she glared at him and buried her head in her arms, ignoring him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Lian Qingxue asked, looking depressed.

“Why would you say that?” Qi Yun asked.

“You can solve all these problems, but I can’t. Doesn’t that make me stupid?”

“Most of our classmates probably can’t solve it either. Does that mean they’re all stupid?” Qi Yun said with a smile.

“That’s different ……”

“How is it different?”

Lian Qingxue hesitated for a while before saying, “They don’t want to go to the same school as you…”

Looking at Lian Qingxue’s shy and elusive look, Qi Yun softened and reached out to ruffle her hair vigorously.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already thought of ways to help you improve your grades!”
