Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Chapter 177: Ye Tianxin’s 18th Birthday (4)

Even though Wu Cailan had bowed and apologized to Ye Tianxin in front of the entire class, people still talked about it, and Grandmother heard about what happened.

“Grandmother, did someone say something to you?” Ye Tianxin asked anxiously. She didn’t want her grandmother to worry about her.

Ye Tianxin held her grandmother’s hand and led her to a seat. She looked at her grandmother with gentle eyes.

“I didn’t hear anything from anyone. It is just my hope for you. I hope that you will be happy, Tianxin.”

Ye Tianxin saw that her grandmother refused to speak the truth, so she did not press her. She returned to her room after helping her grandmother to wash up.

She sat down in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection. She was young, and her face was filled with vitality and youth.

The corners of her eyes didn’t have wrinkles yet, and they were clear as water in spring.

Her face was very clean.

Her eyes were clear and pure.

Her heart was very calm.

Ye Tianxin reflected for a while and then went to bed. She held her phone and looked at the text message on the screen. Images of Li Qingcang’s lovely face appeared in her mind. She might not be with him at the moment, but she felt happy, safe, and relieved just by thinking about him.

Today was not only her birthday. It was also a very important day in her life.

She was hoping that she would be able to see Li Qingcang. After all, it wasn’t just her birthday—it was her 18th birthday.

When this thought occurred in Ye Tianxin’s mind, she pulled up her blanket and buried her head under it.

Stop thinking!

Stop thinking!

Go to sleep.

Close your eyes.

Count sheep.

Ye Tianxin counted sheep with her eyes closed.

“One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four sheep, five sheep…ten sheep…”

When Ye Tianxin reached 99, she still wasn’t sleepy. In fact, she was even more awake than before.

She lifted her blanket and sat in front of her study desk. She switched the light on and began to do practice questions.

Everything was silent around her.

She did not know when the rain started. She was too occupied to notice.

The rain hit against the windows, pitter-pattering.

“Has the heavens heard me?” Ye Tianxin wondered.

Was that why it had started to rain?

Her heart was filled with sadness.

She picked up her phone and searched for Li Qingcang’s number. She called him.

The phone continued to ring, but no one picked up. She didn’t try to call again.

Ye Tianxin was a little disappointed. Perhaps she was expecting too much.

“Is it really too much?”

Compared to his text message wishing her a happy birthday, she much rather hoped to see him. She wanted to hear him say, “Tianxin, happy 18th birthday.”

“Ye Tianxin, you turned 18 today.”

“Ye Tianxin, happy 18th birthday!”

Ye Tianxin could not focus much on the practice paper she was working on, but she also could not sleep. She got onto the bed once more and used her laptop to listen to music while writing a diary entry.

Meanwhile, Li Qingcang and his team emerged from the mountains. Everyone was exhausted. Their clothes had been drenched in the rain, and there were traces of mud on the hems of their pants.

“Yan Ge, get everyone to rest well,” Li Qingcang ordered. “I want to see everyone’s reflections on this mission tomorrow. The person who came in last today has to wash everyone’s clothes!”

The corners of Yan Ge’s mouth twitched. He was amazed at Li Qingcang. Was this man a robot?

Why was he still full of energy after their grueling mission?

“Understood, Captain Li.”

Li Qingcang went back to his office. He pulled open his drawer and took out his phone. He saw that he had a missed call.

Ye Tianxin called him.
