As a result, Qingwen was driven away and Jinchuan was scolded, but Jia Baoyu remained unmoved and did not utter a single word in defense.
Before Qingwen died, she called for her mother all night long. Jia Baoyu only asked if Qingwen had called his name before she died. He neither offered to help Qingwen with her illness nor to help her find her relatives.
A few days later, he was all lovey-dovey with the girls in the garden, completely forgetting everything else.
He's clearly a heartless, ungrateful coward who only knows how to use sweet talk to deceive girls, yet he claims every day to cherish and love flowers. Isn't that just a habitual liar?
Gao Kui and Chen Motong started discussing "Dream of the Red Chamber" again, their thoughts racing at an unusually fast pace.
To shut up!
Fortunately, Guderian and the others were still there, preventing Gao Kui from completely veer off-topic: "First, ask this girl about her identity and why she climbed over the wall to get in."
The topic was steered back to serious matters.
The girl jumped out of Gao Kui's arms and calmly introduced herself.
"I, I'm not a bad person. My name is Xia Mi. I'm a girl from Peking University High School. I've passed the selection for the preparatory class jointly organized by Kassel and Peking University High School and the 3E exam. When school starts again, I will be studying in a preparatory class that specializes in training mixed-race individuals."
School was closed for the past two days, and I came here for tourism. My wallet and phone were stolen as soon as I got off the train.
I wandered around the nearby streets all day and saw the name and emblem of Kassel here, so I thought I'd try to get some humanitarian aid.
Then I knocked on the door but no one answered, so I had to climb over the wall to get in…
Chapter 40 Xia Mi
Have you passed the preparatory course selection and the 3E exam?
Everyone looked at Guderian, who was in charge of the new preparatory school base in FZ City and had the most authority to speak on this matter.
"I'll call the person in charge in Yanjing to confirm Xia Mi's identity. You guys continue your conversation."
Guderian took out his phone and walked to the side, ostensibly to confirm Xia Mi's identity, but in reality, he had already implicitly acknowledged that Xia Mi was a prospective freshman in the preparatory class.
A girl who looks like an angel, who would suspect she's a bad person?
Fingel, who hadn't received Xia Mi, nudged over like a pig rooting in a trough: "Hello, junior. I'm a seventh-year student at Kassel College, and also your senior."
"Eh!?"
Xia Mi stared wide-eyed at the unkempt Fingel: "Uncle, you're actually a student at Kassel? By the way, does Kassel even have a seventh grade?"
Gao Kui and others were also curious: Isn't Kassel a four-year program?
Fingel, with a shameless grin, made up a bunch of lies: "Actually, it was my senior year. The principal said that I was too capable and irreplaceable on campus, so he kept me for several years without letting me graduate."
Oh, a student who repeated a grade.
"Oh, hello senior brother." Xia Mi waved weakly at Fingel as a greeting.
"Sure enough, girls nowadays prefer cool, melancholic pretty boys. T800-type or Rocky-type tall, strong men like me are no longer popular."
Feeling deeply frustrated, Fingel lamented, "He's all about throwing himself at his junior brother and acting like a loving older brother, but when it comes to me, he just waves and calls me 'senior brother.'"
"Don't talk nonsense and ruin our girls' reputation."
Chen Motong glared at Fingel. Xia Mi just happened to fall and bump into Gao Kui's arms. It was not like she threw herself into his arms. Such words are really easy to misunderstand.
After a pause, Chen Motong looked at Chu Zihang again: "Besides, isn't Chu Zihang also a cold, melancholic pretty boy?"
"Pah, pah!"
Fingel slapped himself twice, admitting his mistake with a good attitude: "It was my fault."
Xia Mi waved to Chu Zihang again: "Greetings, Senior Brother Chu."
Chu Zihang nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
"It's my turn in the end!"
Chen Motong smiled and put his arm around Xia Mi's shoulder, pulling her away from Gao Kui: "Chen Motong, like Chu Zihang and your beloved brother Gao Kui, is a freshman in Kassel."
You can just call me Sister Nuonuo.
"Sister Nuonuo."
Xia Mi called out "Sister," then broke free from Chen Motong's arm and moved back to Gao Kui's side, her eyes blinking: "Is Brother Ai called Gao Kui?"
Which "kui" is it? Is it the "kui" of "burly and strong," the "kui" of "wooden wolf," or the "kui" of "sunflower"?
“It is Kui’s poem, ‘The moonlight of yesteryear, how many times has it shone on me as I play the flute by the plum blossoms,’” Gao Kui replied.
"So it was Jiang Baishi's Kui."
Xia Mi suddenly realized, and shook her head, saying, "I thought you would say from 'Yangzhou Slow' the lines 'Though the words of cardamom are skillful, the dreams of brothels are beautiful, it is difficult to express deep feelings,' or 'The heart of the waves ripples, the cold moon is silent.'"
I never expected that you, my dear brother, would like Jiang Baishi's "Dark Fragrance" just like me.
Gao Kui glanced sideways; his Kui was the same Kui as Jiang Kui (Jiang Baishi), and he did indeed like Baishi's poems very much.
Jiang Kui is not very well-known among non-poetry enthusiasts, and "Dark Fragrance" is not as famous as "Yangzhou Slow". I didn't expect Xia Mi to know about it.
Fingel was completely confused. What was he mumbling about?
Meeting Gao Kui's surprised gaze, Xia Mi put one hand on her hip and puffed out her chest: "Don't underestimate me, I'm a student at Peking University High School, and a genuine literary girl!"
"I really couldn't tell..." Gao Kui exclaimed sincerely.
Xia Mi pouted slightly, seemingly dissatisfied, and punched Gao Kui in the chest: "Brother Ai, you really have no taste. The way you talk makes me sound like some kind of tomboy like Li Kui."
Not only Gao Kui couldn't tell, but Chu Zihang couldn't either.
They had all seen the literary girl, Chen Wenwen from Shilan Middle School, the most beautiful girl in the literary club. She was usually quiet and gentle in her white dress and skirt, and was the white moonlight in the hearts of many people in Shilan Middle School.
Where does it resemble Xia Mi?
She's as clever as a monkey; this kind of literary young woman is truly unlike anything anyone has ever seen before.
As everyone was chatting happily, Professor Guderian, who had just finished his phone call, came over and nodded to everyone: "It's been confirmed; they are indeed prospective students in the preparatory class."
Xia Mi came here for tourism and lost her wallet and phone, right? It's perfect that she can stay at the base, attend classes with Gao Kui and the others, and have them take her out to play when she's free.
Don't let FZ's small size fool you; the scenery is quite beautiful, and its location by the sea gives it a unique charm.
"Do we need to pay for food and lodging?" Xia Mi asked nervously.
"Need not."
"Great! Now I can eat and drink for free and don't have to sleep on the streets and beg!"
Xia Mi jumped three feet high, cheered, and then felt a little embarrassed. She asked with a slightly shy expression, "Is this appropriate? I was planning to stay in FZ City for at least a month."
Starting from one month?
That's even better!
"It's a perfect fit!"
Guderian slapped his thigh. He had only intended to match Chen Motong with Gao Kui, but now an even more beautiful Little Dragon Girl had come knocking on his door. It was a truly unexpected surprise.
"This base was originally going to be converted into a preparatory school this summer. Actually, it doesn't need much modification, just adding some desks and chairs will suffice."
Three months from now, this place will officially open as Kassel's second preparatory school in China, specifically designed to train students to pass the 3E exams.
Didn't you just pass the 3E exam?
In a few days, Yanjing will send over the files of all the students who passed the 3E exam for me to review and select. If you like it here, I'll pick your file and let you study the preparatory course here. You can stay until September and then seamlessly enroll.
Will all the preparatory students' files be sent here a few days later for Guderian to review and select?
Xia Mi's eyes flickered as she politely declined Guderian's offer: "I'd better not. My parents and younger brother are still in Yanjing. They probably won't agree to me coming here to study."
Guderian expressed deep regret but also understanding.
Xia Mi added, "But staying here until the start of school in September is really a great idea. I get to eat and stay for free, and I even have a handsome guy like Ai-nii-san as my companion. Professors, you won't mind, will you?"
"What's there to complain about? It's all reimbursement with public funds and accounted for through public accounts."
Fingel laughed and said, "Our board of directors is very rich. If you don't take any, and I don't take any, how will the principal take any? If the principal doesn't take any, how will we make progress?"
"Junior sister, if you have any friends who are just as pretty as you, you can invite them over too. Let's eat the school board out of business!"
"Eat the school board into bankruptcy!"
Xia Mi clenched her fists, raised her arms, and shouted, as if she truly considered destroying the school board as a great cause she would dedicate her life to.
"Gulu~Gulu~"
The girl's flat stomach seemed to be making another kind of cry.
Xia Mi put her hand down, rubbed her tummy, and then grinned like a Shiba Inu: "I haven't eaten all day..."
"Then what are we waiting for? We're having a get-together and we don't even have chopsticks yet. Gao Kui, quickly take your junior sister to the cafeteria. Look at her, she's starving!"
Guderian hurriedly called out to Gao Kui, a student with a Super A rating, even more anxious than Gao Kui himself.
Xia Mi's eyes widened. What do you mean by "front chest to back"?
Chapter 41 Differential Treatment
This is not a shy girl.
As soon as she entered the cafeteria, Xia Mi stared at the milk tea in the bag, swallowing hard and her eyes shining: "Wow, the subway milk tea! I heard it's a brand from Hong Kong. I saw a subway milk tea shop at noon today."
The line of customers buying milk tea stretched from the door to the street corner; I waited for over half an hour before I finally got a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea.
"Didn't you say your wallet was stolen as soon as you got off the bus? How come you still have money to buy milk tea?" Gao Kui once again managed to grasp the key point.
"Brother Ai, you have no common sense. When you're out and about, many people put some change in their shoes and socks to prevent pickpockets."
Xia Mi lifted her right foot, pointed to the white socks that were just past her ankle, and then slumped her face: "I originally hid fifty yuan in change in the socks, but because the socks were too short, they all fell out as I walked. I only have one five-yuan note left, which is just enough to buy a cup of milk tea with coconut jelly and pudding."
Xia Mi meant to say that she was extremely unlucky, her wallet had been stolen, and her backup stash of money had been exposed.
Gao Kui looked at Xia Mi's little feet sticking up, but his thoughts wandered to another angle: "When did you take out that last five yuan? Did you take it out before queuing or when it was your turn after queuing up?"
Your shoes don't look very breathable, and your socks aren't thin either. Fuzhou is a coastal city with high humidity, so your feet must have been sweaty after walking for most of the day.
When you pulled out that five yuan, it was probably still piping hot, and the smell was probably even more sour than pickled cabbage. I really want to see what the clerk's expression was when he took the money..."
Xia Mi couldn't tell what the shop assistants' expressions were, but Fingel and the others' expressions became strange because of Gao Kui's words.
Xia Mi's face stiffened, and she glared fiercely at Gao Kui.
