Chapter 102: Night: "Why do you give old men watches"; Her strengths..."
Chapter 102
Qiao Ying who opened the door had an unhappy expression on her face, apparently she had just crawled out of bed because he had woken her up. Qin Hanyue regretted even more knocking on this door.
It seems she has morning temper, need to pay more attention to this in the future.
"Still not awake yet?" Qin Hanyue's tone became lighter and softer.
The girl inside the door glanced at him, then turned around and walked back inside.
She didn't close the door,
Qin Hanyue hesitated for a moment before following her inside,
then he heard Qiao Ying in front of him responding: "Awake now."
Qin Hanyue: "I came up to call you for breakfast after seeing it was about time, your younger brother is already in the dining room."
Qiao Ying who was heading towards the bathroom responded again: "Mmm."
Qin Hanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for Qiao Ying to finish washing up.
In the elevator,
Qin Hanyue looked at the slender and fair hands next to him and asked: "Since your younger brother has come to the capital city, should I arrange for others to be responsible for his safety, or should I bring people over from Yuncheng?"
Qiao Ying must have had a feud with someone to ask for people earlier presumably to protect this younger brother. So Qin Hanyue asked her about it.
Qiao Ying: "I'll have to trouble Mr. Qin to arrange some other people."
She didn't care whether Li Lilian and Qiao Lingling lived or died, but if something happened to her because of them, the one who would be hurt is Qiao Yi.
Qiao Ying was a little worried, people from Anying were probably watching her in secret. Since she had completely split from the Qiao family and brought Qiao Yi to the capital city, if Anying had any ideas, they would definitely be eyeing Qiao Yi.
Should she bring some helpers over from Heishui?
And Qin Hanyue was wondering what kind of enemy Qiao Ying had formed ties with, she didn't say and he didn't feel good about asking outright or investigating secretly.
Arriving at the dining room,
Qiao Ying sat down and saw Qin Hanyue's name card placed in front of Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi used his eyes to secretly ask her what to do.
"Keep it." Qiao Ying said.
Only then did Qiao Yi put away the name card.
Considering Qiao Yi's mood, Qiao Ying had originally wanted to take him around Beijing for a couple days to get him used to things before sending him to school.
But Qiao Yi said no need.
Afterwards, Qiao Ying sent him to school after they finished breakfast.
The school Qin Hanyue picked naturally had the best educational quality and resources in the entire capital city.
From a distance, they could already see nearly 10 people standing at the school gate. As soon as they got out of the car, those people came up enthusiastically to welcome them.
At a glance, there was the principal, vice principal, head teacher of the grade, class teacher...
Qin Hanyue had intentionally notified them ahead of time so Qiao Ying didn't need to worry about Qiao Yi being bullied at school because of his crippled foot.
The school cafeteria could also open a small stove to help cook the special medicine Qiao Yi needed to take.
"You can rest assured, I have already understood Qiao's grades from his previous school in Yuncheng, they are exceptionally good..." The principal spoke a lot.
Qiao Ying disliked that kind of situation the most.
Qin Hanyue handled responding to everything for her from start to finish.
After getting Qiao Yi settled, Qin Hanyue next sent Qiao Ying to Beijing University.
Sitting in the car,
Qiao Ying looked at the slender and fair hands of the man next to her. She had just casually said before about giving him a watch, it was just polite talk.
Now it seems even if she didn't give him one, she still had to.
"Looking at what?" Qin Hanyue glances at his own hands.
"Looking at your nice hands." Qiao Ying turned her gaze away to look elsewhere.
Qin Hanyue: If they look nice then why aren't you still looking?
Just when his heart had slight ripples, in less than a second everything calmed down again.
At the south school gates of Beijing University,
Li Shiyin held a cup of fruit tea, walking into campus with two roommates, and happened to see Qiao Ying getting out of a luxury car.
"Is that Qiao Ying? Whose car is she getting out of?"
"That license plate is all zeros, isn't the car even more expensive than the license plate number? The identity of the person inside must be extraordinary!" Another girl said.
Li Shiyin tried to get a look at the person inside the car, but the car windows were pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
This definitely wasn't Huo Chengdong's car. Huo Chengdong only drove sports cars, he wouldn't buy such a formal car.
Li Shiyin: "She's cozying up to yet another rich person, she really has ability huh!"
Roommate: "She's a study master, a math genius, good looking - as long as she wants these things, they'll come flocking with a hook of her finger."
Li Shiyin scoffed: "Do you think rich people are all idiots? It's just playing around at best, does she really think she can marry into a wealthy household?"
Qiao Ying walked around campus and made a phone call to Ye Si.
Ye Si who was far away in country M waved to pause the meeting: "Why did my baby suddenly call me? Miss me?"
"You're quite into watches and know a lot about them, help me pick one okay?" Qiao Ying said.
Ye Si: "Why the sudden interest in these kinds of things? One watch isn't enough, wait till I get back and I'll sort through them and send you a boxful. I'll make both your hands full wearing watches."
Qiao Ying: "I'm giving it as a gift, it needs to be a men's style, around 30 years old." She thought for a bit then continued, "Don't let it be too flashy, better if it has some taste and class, needs to be presentable."
Ye Si: "A man's? Who is it, that Cheng Jinyan punk?"
Qiao Ying: "A new friend, I'll introduce you when you get back."
Ye Si: "I have no interest in knowing some 30 year old man. I only care why my baby wants to give a watch to a 30 year old uncle. Is he better looking than me? Does he treasure you like I do?"
Qiao Ying: "No need to know him if you don't want to. You two probably wouldn't get along anyway judging by your personalities. I'll send the address later, bye."
Ye Si stared at the hung up call and hissed.
"Heartless woman." Then Ye Si narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "A 30 year old man? New friend?"
Qiao Lingling had been expelled,
the matter of her identity fraud was announced to the entire school.
Qiao Ying was the real solver of that math problem. A true mathematical genius worthy of the title. Qiao Ying had only requested the school to announce Qiao Lingling's misdeeds, she didn't expect Principal Zhang to actually publicize her own name as well.
So as she walked around campus, she received even more attention than before.
Arriving at Principal Zhang's office,
Qiao Ying accepted the cup of hot tea that Zhang handed over.
"The house that was originally arranged for your younger sister has already been transferred to your name. The paperwork is still being processed. As for the scholarship, wait for your mother to take it back and I will give it to you then."
"Can I ask, was it because the conditions I opened before were too low, so student Qiao was too lazy to step up and deal with this old fella like me?" Zhang Chengyong couldn't resist asking.
Qiao Ying: "After solving that problem, I threw it to my younger brother. The person communicating with all of you on the online forum was also my brother."
Zhang Chengyong: "I see, we were 'making a fuss over a trifling matter'."
In their eyes, solving this kind of problem was no different than an astronaut once again successfully launching into space. But to this genius herself, it was hardly even worth mentioning probably.
"Additionally, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss with student Qiao." Zhang Chengyong smiled like a sly old fox.
Qiao Ying: "This time you guys want me to switch to the mathematics department?"
Zhang Chengyong slapped his thigh: "It has to be student Qiao, smart thinking!"
Qiao Ying: "Not switching."
Zhang Chengyong: "Don't reject so quickly! Can you tell me why you want to study computer science?"
Qiao Ying: "Because computer is my strength."
Zhang Chengyong lost his composure, crying out with deep soul-searching: "Isn't mathematics your strength even more?!"
Qiao Ying: "Of course not."
Her strengths were killing people, fighting, shooting, making explosives, computer science, medicine... mathematics was so far down the list.
Zhang Chengyong opened and closed his mouth as he looked at Qiao Ying, unable to speak for a time.
His head suddenly started throbbing painfully.
His old chronic headache issue acting up again.
Zhang Chengyong hurriedly took out pain medication to take, but the efficacy was too slow.
Qiao Ying stood up: "I'm stepping out for a bit, be right back."
Then she left the principal's office and returned to her dorm room, opening her luggage to take out an acupuncture kit.
After Qiao Ying left,
Li Shiyin and two roommates gathered to chat again:
"What was the thing she just took? It looks to me like the acupuncture kit old Chinese medicine practitioners use in TV shows!"
"Needles? Bringing such dangerous stuff to school? What is she trying to do?"
"I just happened to see what looked like wine inside her luggage earlier."
"I've seen her drinking alcohol in the dorm before too."
"She really dared to bring such dangerous things and even high proof liquor to drink in the dorms."
