One week before the winter camp started, there was a monthly exam at No. 1 High School.
During the exam, Zhi Ying was disheartened. There was no room for improvement in her other subjects. She could only get so many perfect marks. How could she get the marks out of thin air? Needless to say, her essay composition points were not as high as that of Jiang Wei's.
Recently Zhi Ying discovered a particularly frightening thing. It was that Jiang Wei has almost caught up with her in other subjects. As long as there were no accidents, the scores of the two would be the same: full marks.
Sure enough, the only solution was dating?
Zhi Ying sat in the examination room, staring at Jiang Wei's back and thinking bitterly.
The seating in examination rooms was based on one's rank in the grade, so since Zhi Ying was second place in the grade, she was seated in the second seat in the front row.
Typically, no one at No. 1 High School would hand in their test papers in advance, especially the students who sat closer to the front, very few people would come out before the examination time was over.
It was just that today Jiang Wei suddenly got up and handed in the test papers ahead of time. Zhi Ying, who was staring at him from behind, froze, but then immediately got up and followed Jiang Wei out.
"Classmate, do you want to hand it in too?!" The invigilator was a new freshmen teacher, and he was not too familiar with these two sophomores.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhi Ying couldn't see Jiang Wei's back anymore, and she immediately stuffed the stationery that was on the table back into her pocket, and hurried out.
Jiang Wei was still walking downstairs and when he heard a noise, he turned his head. "Why did you come out?" he asked, though his eyes were full of determination.
Zhi Ying went downstairs and rushed towards Jiang Wei. "I finished writing a long time ago, didn't you check your work?"
"I got tired of writing, I wanted to come out to get some air." Jiang Wei leaned half against the wall of the stairs, with a hint of laziness.
Everyone was still taking the exam at this time, and there was almost no one who handed in the exam paper half of the period in advance besides the two of them. Hence, the whole teaching building was extremely quiet, as if there were only the two of them in the world.
"Oh." Zhi Ying lowered her head and thought for a while before raising her head and asked boldly, "Can I hold your hand?"
Since Jiang Wei kissed her last time, Zhi Ying was very eager to find the author of "The Book of Love", and even bought another copy of the love guide of the same series. This time it was about giving a bright light to those in love.
Zhi Ying extracted the essence from it and found a plan that she could implement.
"When you're dating, you have to hold hands." Zhi Ying raised her head and said seriously, "Last time you said we would try."
Jiang Wei looked at Zhi Ying quietly, probably because the sun was weak in the winter. Her face became fairer, with a luster like cold jade. Her hair has now reached her shoulders. And because the owner was too lazy to take care of it, allowing it to grow freely, the hair had a soft and fluffy feeling. When her clear eyes were looking at someone, it made the other person feel that they were the only person in her world.
Stretching out his hand, Jiang Wei moved his eyes away, not looking at Zhi Ying.
Seeing that Jiang Wei was willing to extend his hand, Zhi Ying immediately held his hand happily.
Jiang Wei's fingers were long and slender, and his palm was warm and soft, making it very comfortable to hold. Zhi Ying couldn't help rubbing his hand with her fingers.
On the contrary, Zhi Ying, a girl, had calluses on her hand, feeling rough to the touch.
Jiang Wei held Zhi Ying's hand instead, and led her downstairs together until they walked to a tree on the back hill.
He opened Zhi Ying's hand and looked at her palm. There are also some tiny cocoons on it. It seemed like they were formed by lifting heavy objects.
Zhi Ying also followed Jiang Wei's gaze, feeling a little embarrassed.
Probably because of his previous health condition, Jiang Wei's skin was pale but satiny. His fingers were well-articulated, sticking out like a work of art. When he was holding Zhi Ying's seemingly 'scarred' hand, it really didn't fit.
"Here..." Jiang Wei pointed to a brand new scar on Zhi Ying's palm, "What happened?"
Zhi Ying looked at the place he was pointing at, and honestly shook her head, "I don't know."
The scar was not deep, as if it was a shallow cut made somewhere.
Jiang Wei exhaled cold air, and his facial expression was not very good-looking as he scolded, "How can you hurt yourself even when studying and doing homework all day long?"
After hearing this, Zhi Ying's first feeling was not the worry behind Jiang Wei's words, but she suspected that he was secretly mocking herself for being clumsy.
"Accident." Zhi Ying snorted in her heart, and replied bluntly.
Anyway, it was already the last exam, and there was no class in the evening, so Jiang Wei took Zhi Ying to the pharmacy opposite the school to buy medicine.
"It's just a small scratch." Zhi Ying's hand was being held by him, and so she had to follow behind while resisting it.
"What if it gets infected?" Jiang Wei stopped, his brows and eyes tinged with anger, "Don't you want to date me, how can we date when you fall ill?"
Most of the time Jiang Wei could hide his emotions well, but it was often out of control when he faced Zhi Ying. If Zhi Ying had the sensitivity of a normal person, she would have been able to find out about this abnormality earlier.
But Zhi Ying's ingenuity was probably all in mathematics, and she was always a little bit slow when it came to other things or people.
"Okay, don't be angry." Zhi Ying looked at Jiang Wei anxiously, "I still want to date you."
Walking to the door of the pharmacy, Jiang Wei let go of Zhi Ying's hand, saying, "You wait for me here."
Zhi Ying nodded obediently, and stood at the most conspicuous place in front of the pharmacy.
Jiang Wei asked the pharmacist for a few medicines for wounds, and at the same time called Uncle Li: "Mhm... also put them in at the house in Lugu Mountain. Buy all the types of medicines and store them."
After paying, Jiang Wei came out but did not see Zhi Ying.
