Chapter 104 - Exam Blessings

"Hmm?" Beixiao raised his brows questioningly.

"You are making me love you even more!" Ye Qiao gritted her teeth.

Beixiao smirked. He looked smoking hot in his uniform! Ye Qiao was not a fangirl and had seen uniformed soldiers before - they were everywhere in the military neighborhood. However, she just could not resist Beixiao!

"Qiao Qiao! I'm done!" Da Sha was too focused on his drawing to notice Beixiao. When he looked up and saw him, he jumped in shock and tried to hide the paper.

"What is Da Sha drawing again?" Beixiao raised his brows again; his expression was a little gloomy this time.

Da Sha shook his head vigorously. He was hoping that Ye Qiao would notice him. 'Don't say it! Don't say it!' He would get beaten up again!

Unfortunately, Ye Qiao did not notice him. "Xiao, Da Sha is drawing a sigil to bless me in my exams -"

Before she could finish her sentence, Beixiao ran towards Da Sha, who jumped up and attempted to escape. "Idiot! Do you want another beating?!"

Da Sha covered his head as Ye Qiao hurried over.

She took the sigil in his hand and had to admit that it looked very professional. In the centre of the sigil, he even wrote - "Pass every exam!"

"Qiao Qiao, tear that thing! Don't believe his bullshit! He just needs a beating every once in a while! If he gets caught again, he would be grounded for at least ten days!" Beixiao said as he pushed Da Sha away.

Ye Qiao smiled and folded the sigil. "Xiao, it wouldn't harm me to believe it! Thank you, Da Sha! But you should really stop doing this... you will get into big trouble if you get caught!"

"Qiao Qiao, it really works!" Da Sha insisted.

His persistence made Beixiao walk towards him again and raise his fist.

As expected, Da Sha ran away.

"Haha! Xiao, Da Sha is so funny!" Ye Qiao was amused.

"He's just stupid! Let's go! Let's go back to the neighborhood!" He picked her bag up and left.

When they arrived at the town, the sun had not completely set yet. He brought her to the photo studio for a picture.

It would take a few days for the pictures to be printed, so they left their separate addresses so that the studio could mail them their pictures when they were ready. Ye Qiao sighed upon the realization. Photo booths had not been invented yet. Otherwise, they could take some instant cute photos! When photo booths become trendy, she must bring him for some photos again.

"Shit! Whose car is that!? How flashy!" When they passed by the basketball court, Beichi and his friends saw their SUV.

"It's going towards the Lu family's residence! Whose is it?"

They stopped playing and decided to check it out.

"Xiao, stop here! I can't let grandpa see us!" Ye Qiao was still worried about what her grandpa might say, so she unbuckled her seatbelt, wanting to leave the car.

"What are you scared of!? I just wanted to tell your grandpa about it!"

"Xiao! We agreed not to announce anything yet!" Ye Qiao held his wrist and pleaded.

Beixiao kept quiet and parked the car in front of his house. Grandpa was watering his vegetables, so he already saw the car!

Afraid that he would be suspicious of them, Ye Qiao opened the door and went down.

This girl!

Beixiao followed her and went into the house with her.

"Grandpa! I am back! It's Beixiao birthday today, and he was allowed to leave. He wanted to come back and visit, so I tagged along!" Ye Qiao lied with a big smile.

Beixiao greeted the old man with a salute, "How are you, Grandpa!?"

"Hey! Xiao! You look so different in your uniform!" Ye Qiao's grandpa had heard of Beixiao's performance on the battlefield before... he did so much better than his grandson, Ye Cheng!

"Grandpa, I'm still the same man! I just don't have time to steal your peaches anymore!" He had always been a social butterfly. He could get close to anyone in their neighborhood, regardless of their age. The only exception was when it came to girls.

Before they could start a conversation, Ye Qiao quickly said that she was going upstairs.

"Qiao Qiao! Come to my house later! We all live in the same neighborhood, after all. Don't be shy!" Beixiao shouted. He sounded like he was just being polite, but Ye Qiao knew that he was asking her to go over later.

"Okay!" Ye Qiao answered 'politely' and left. She needed to shower!
