Chapter 14: After the College Entrance Exam
Xie Cheng scoffed at Yuran's excuses, finding them pretentious and nauseating.
Although disdainful of explaining herself, Yuran still felt it was better to clarify things first.
She exited the game, turned her body to face Bo Yan seriously, and as she was about to revert to old habits, her clear, melodious voice flowed out.
"Brother Qi, I sincerely apologize for all the unreasonable trouble I caused you before. Please understand, I was young and naive, and I caused you trouble;
In the future, such incidents will never occur again. Those several apartments of yours, you can go back whenever you wish, I promise, I will never appear there again;
Previously, I was busy with schoolwork, cramming for exams and the college entrance exam, and I forgot about this. After the exams are over, I will move all my belongings out, have someone clean up, and return the keys;
I hope you won't hold the past against me, Brother Qi. From now on, I will keep my distance and not disturb you!"
The girl spoke these words with her eyes lowered, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, her expression indifferent.
Xie Cheng was stunned, finding it hard to believe that these words were actually coming from this spoilt and previously reckless girl. Reflecting on it, these past few months, he really hadn't visited the school to clean up after her mess.
Moreover, this 'spoilt child' hadn't been calling Bo Yan every two or three days either.
Could it be that she had truly changed?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but give her a few extra glances from the rearview mirror; still, she was unpleasant to look at!
Bo Yan kept his lips pursed throughout, his expression aloof, as if Yuran was talking about something insignificant. Faced with Bo Yan's silence, Yuran felt a bit awkward, but upon reflecting, it seemed all right.
For her, who had a history of many misdeeds and severe incidents, even if others didn't believe or forgive her, she was certainly not blameless.
On the contrary, her behavior was understandable.
Turning to sit properly, looking straight ahead, she suddenly heard Bo Yan's response, very much in his style and quite merciless: As you wish!
Yuran did not respond further; continuing the conversation would only humiliate herself.
She even wondered if the original host was a masochist, actually enjoying seeking out punishment. Why else would she fall for someone who clearly would not love anyone else?
Knowing it was unreachable, yet recklessly dashing into the flames.
Isn't this seeking death!
…
Suddenly, it was the peak of the scorching summer. Walking out of the examination hall, Yuran smiled relaxedly. Seeing Bo Yan's mother in the crowd, she jogged over, "Mom, you could've just waited in the car, it's terribly hot outside!"
Bo Yan's mother held a bottle of frozen mineral water and handed it to her as soon as she approached, "Aren't you worried? Baby, did you do well on the exam? It's all over now, let's not think about it anymore, okay?"
Bo Yan's mother never inquired about her scores, always cautious not to put psychological pressure on her. Looping her arm through Bo Yan's mother's, they walked toward the parking lot together, "Yes, I know!"
Facing the changes in Yuran lately, Bo Yan's mother felt an inexplicable panic at the bottom of her heart, worried that Yuran was harboring ill thoughts and yet dare not ask.
Therefore, during the meal they had at home a few days ago, she accompanied her throughout, staying until the college entrance exam was over. Yuran understood these painstaking efforts and felt warmly fortunate to have come into this body of Yuran, living the life she wanted.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked, Yuran teasing Bo Yan's mother into laughter. Caught up in the mood, Bo Yan's mother also spoke a few nonsense words in joy, and Yuran laughed heartily, "Hahaha… No, not at all!"
From afar, the family driver, witnessing this scene, bulged his eyes in disbelief. Strictly speaking, the changes in the family's little ancestor recently were nowhere near scientific.
