Li Qiao packed up her bedding and carried it home.
She entered the house, drenched in sweat, put down her things, and gulped down a large cup of cool boiled water.
It took a long while for her to catch her breath before she locked the door and headed back to school to fetch the rest of her belongings.
On her second trip, Qin Jin was at home.
Li Qiao, surprised, asked, "Aren't you working today?"
"I came back to get my graduation certificate; the leaders recommended me to get a driver's license," Qin Jin said, with joy written all over his face.
Li Qiao was happy for him, "That's great! I also have good news to tell you. I won a three hundred yuan scholarship."
Qin Jin gave her a thumbs up, "You're the real deal!" Noticing the sweat on her forehead, he quickly grabbed a towel to wipe it off.
Li Qiao casually took the towel from his hand, tilted her head slightly and said, "I can do it myself."
