Novel Full Chapter 235 - Exam Day (1)
It was the day of Xi Qian's entrance exam, and Su Xiaofei informed her mother that she wouldn't be going to Bluemedia that day to show her support for her best friend. Because Xi Qian was almost a sister to her, Su Xiaofei would surely not miss this important day.
Oddly enough, Lu Qingfeng volunteered to come with her today, so Su Xiaofei was waiting in a nearby café with him, checking the time on her phone occasionally, worrying about Xi Qian.
"Xiaofei, you have to calm down. It won't help Xi Qian if you are worrying like this." Lu Qingfeng said as he lifted a hand to call the attention of the waiter to settle their bill. They had been waiting for two hours, seated here, doing nothing but watch the passersby come and go.
"I know that, Xiao Feng, but I can't help but worry. Qian has been spending sleepless nights preparing for this day." She muttered while trying to check her phone for Xi Qian's message.
"Xi Qian won't fail. You have to trust her on this." Lu Qingfeng tried to assure her. Even in their previous lives, Xi Qian excelled in academics and aced most of their exams. Whether she would pass the exam today, it would depend on her abilities and luck.
"You also need to relax, Feifei. You are pushing yourself too hard these days." He reminded her.
Su Xiaofei nodded at that. She had been preoccupied with her studies and fixing Qin Muyao's projects and endorsements. Now that they were able to clean his name in public, his fans, as well as his role as the second male lead in 'The Poisonous Concubine' had returned to him.
However, she had yet to meet Tang Liyan, whom she was planning to use to snatch the lead role from Bai Qingyue.
With her previous suggestion to Fang Yi, the management had now opened auditions for the title role and declined Bai Qingyue's demand for a higher talent fee.
As her problems were being solved one after another, Su Xiaofei wondered if she would be able to catch a break anytime soon. She hadn't felt this kind of pressure to keep up with everything for some time.
Who said being a student wasn't stressful? Su Xiaofei would skin them alive if someone dared to say this in front of her. Coursework deadlines, exams, and balancing study with other commitments were stressful enough.
After their graduation, they would have at least two months vacation time before the semester commences at the university. However, Su Xiaofei knew that she would be spending most of that time at Bluemedia rather than staying at home doing nothing.
"Are you going to leave as soon as the graduation ceremony is over?" She asked Lu Qingfeng. Su Xiaofei couldn't remember being this disappointed in her previous life when Lu Qingfeng told her he was leaving to pursue his studies abroad after graduating from high school.
At that time, she was busy with her training at Top Tier Entertainment and barely had any time to speak with him. She had almost missed his flight when she overslept on the day of his departure, but not this time.
"I'm going to stay for another week after graduation. Why? Do you have any plans in mind?" Lu Qingfeng raised a slender brow at her.
"Hmm, not me, but Mama. Since you are turning sixteen soon, she wants to host a birthday dinner for you before you leave." Su Xiaofei noticed a gentle smile that crossed Lu Qingfeng's lips upon hearing that.
"Aunty Qing shouldn't have bothered. I'm just moving to Shenjing. It's not that far."
Su Xiaofei shrugged. She understood that this was her mother's way of sending off Lu Qingfeng.
"Well, what can I do? That's what Mama told me yesterday. Don't decline, Xiao Feng. Who knows when we will be able to see you again."
What Su Xiaofei didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who had regrets from their previous life.
Lu Qingfeng regretted that he wasn't able to return and wake up from his deep coma earlier. If he had, then Su Xiaofei wouldn't have married Mo Yuchen and his Aunty Qing wouldn't have lost her life and company in the process.
When he heard that Yun Qingrong passed away, he had been stricken with great grief and guilt. Yun Qingrong had treated him very well and had been very kind to him ever since he was younger.
"Fine, but please tell Aunty Qing not to host a party. A simple dinner would do." He conceded easily, knowing that he can't really deny Yun Qingrong's wish if she had already made up her mind to host something for his birthday.
"Great. I will tell her at once." Su Xiaofei picked up her phone and sent her mother a quick message, informing her of Lu Qingfeng's answer. She knew that Lu Qingfeng wouldn't be able to decline her mother's request at all.
As they continued to wait for Xi Qian, Lu Qingfeng turned his attention back to the passersby.
"What are you thinking?" Su Xiaofei asked when she noticed that he had fallen silent again and was looking at people.
"Nothing. Just trying to calm my mind by watching people." Lu Qingfeng replied, and when he noticed that she was waiting for him to continue, he sighed inwardly.
"Feifei, when you look at other people, have you ever wondered what kind of life they have? When I look at them, I could see a glimpse of the kind of life they're living and what they are enduring." He continued explaining.
Su Xiaofei followed his gaze and looked at the passersby. Among them, an old man was walking slowly with a little boy on his side. It seemed like they had just come out from a nearby bakery, as the boy was holding a paper bag with some bread rolls in it.
Just by looking at them, Su Xiaofei then understood why it piqued Lu Qingfeng's curiosity.. Indeed, one can learn a lot by paying attention to other people.
