Han Bing directly went to Qin Shi Ran's house after visiting her mother. Although Han Bing wanted to avoid contacting Qin Shi Ran, Han Bing still had to put up the front face and the best opportunity for her revenge would be inside the Qin family's residence.
Ding Dong. Han Bing rang the doorbell. She heard a person running to the door. "Han Bing, you came." Qin Shi Ran warmly said to Han Bing. The usually arrogant prince is smiling at Han Bing right now. Anyone girl who sees this would be stunned at their place.
Ever since Qin Shi Ran figured out his feelings for Han Bing, he wanted to compensate. He started sticking to Han Bing every chance he got. His love for Han Bing has become so dense that some of the students start noticing it.
Han Bing still tutors Qin Shi Ran as usual. Qin Shi Ran became more dedicated to studying than before. All of the teachers complimented Qin Shi Ran's improvement. Even Han Bing has to acknowledge his learning speed.
"Han Bing, rest for a while. Eat some Longan." Qin Shi Ran took a big piece and broke off the shell. When he passed it to Han Bing, she tried to reach for it, but Han Bing doesn't know if it's coincidence or on purpose, Qin Shi Ran avoided her hand and put it directly in front of her mouth.
Han Bing didn't mind the way she ate it. It was like she was used to this gesture already. Qin Shi Ran closely watched Han Bing eat the Longan. Her tongue slightly touched Qin Shi Ran's finger. Qin Shi Ran moved from her touch. His eyes became more dark as he rubbed the tiny wetness between his fingers.
Days like this passed by. Han Bing continued to tutor Qin Shi Ran and visit her mom in the hospital. It turns out Han Bing's mother and Doctor Wu did have something going on between them. When Hua Yi Xian told Han Bing about having a wedding, Han Bing didn't mind as much. Doctor Wu is a good person. Han Bing is happy that her mother found a good husband.
The wedding was very small. Hua Yi Xian only invited her closest friends to come to her house. Han Bing stayed at home to decorate everything with the bridesmaid.
Han Bing convinced Hua Yi Xian to move in with Doctor Wu and quit her job at the Qin family. In order for her plan to proceed, Han Bing needs to make sure that her mother is protected. Their previous house was sold and Han Bing and Hua Yi Xian immediately moved into her new father's building.
Han Bing's new father's full name is Wu Lian Tian. He was born from a martial artist family and his grandfather wanted his grandson to be a martial artist so he named him Wu Lian Tian. Wu Lian Tian obviously did not become a martial artist in the end. He instead pursued the medical field. Learning that his interest was becoming a doctor, his parents soon gave up making him a martial artist. Although they were hoping for someone to receive their mantle, they didn't want to force their son to do something he didn't like.
Han Bing didn't care much about Doctor Wu's background as long as he cared for her mother. However, Han Bing soon learned that Wu Lian Tian was more of a mother-like person than her mother. All of the cooking and chores become done by her new father. Han Bing also realized that her father has good cooking skills. Hua Yi Xian cooks well too, but Wu Lian Tian was on another level.
Han Bing's new schedule became eating breakfast in the morning, being driven to school, having her father's bento box during lunch, going to Qin Shi Ran's house, and coming back home for dinner.
Today, the school will announce the final result of the ranking. Han Bing was still in first place. She applied for a medical program in G university in America. G university is well known for its medical program. Each professor in the university has high prestige in their field. Although there are other colleges that have good medical programs, G university is the only one that allows independent student research. Han Bing needed a breakthrough in her research, and the only way to be able to do that is to personally experiment her theory.
Qin Shi Ran came over to Han Bing's desk. "Han Bing, which school did you apply to?" After receiving many tutoring sessions from Han Bing, Qin Shi Ran's grade shot up extremely fast. Qin Shi Ran is now in 11th place. In a few subjects of the final, he even surpassed Han Bing by a couple of points. Unfortunately, due to his early rebellion, his base was weak and lacked practice.
Han Bing thought for a couple of moments and replied. "The B university near this school."
Qin Shi Ran nodded his head. The B university is hard to get. Qin Shi Ran also applied for that school just in case Han Bing decided to choose to stay somewhere nearby. Qin Shi Ran hid his smile. It's a good thing he also applied over there.
Han Bing's internal attitude to Qin Shi Ran was much better than before. Although he was part of the reason that his mother was sent to the hospital, Qin Shi Ran only confirmed Bai Rong Rong's statement with a kiss but did not add on to it. Han Bing naturally would not forgive him. Han Bing decided that making him disabled like her would be enough punishment for herself and her mother's hospitalization.
Han Bing thought about which day to come over to his house and escape without notice. Any time from now is good since she had her college acceptance, but Han Bing still wanted to enjoy the last few days of high school.
"Han Bing, my parents want to throw an aging ceremony for me after graduation. I have something to tell you on that day. Can you come?" Qin Shi Ran nervously asked. He's really afraid that Han Bing would reject him. Ever since the expulsion of Bai Rong Rong, Han Bing acted the same way yet he can tell that she is rejecting him in her heart. He wants to confess to her during the aging ceremony. He needs her to promise to be with him forever. Qin Shi Ran feels that he's going to become crazy if another man snatches Han Bing away from him during college. Even though they will be going to college together, it's not guaranteed that they will end up in the same classes together.
"Sure. I will be there." Han Bing agreed. Just when she's trying to find a good chance, the opportunity comes to her on its own.
Qin Shi Ran was wild with joy. The only step left is to confess to her. He nervously rubbed his fingers. Just a couple of more days.
Qin Shi Ran did not realize that this event would push him to the deep abyss. In many years after, he would be tired as a dog chasing his wife.
However, Han Bing also did not get a good bargain out of this. She will soon understand that she has provoked the most resilient enemy.
