1396 Success!
Ji Haoyu’s heart was calm. Compared to when Yu Zhihuan left back then, the current Ji Haoyu was already mature.
“Graduated?”
Ji Haoyu took the initiative to speak and treated Yu Zhihuan as an old friend.
Yu Zhihuan nodded with a glass of water. “I should have come back early, but…”
In the end, she was the one who missed the appointment. Yu Zhihuan swallowed her explanation and smiled helplessly. “In short… I’m sorry.”
Ji Haoyu looked at her. Yu Zhihuan had changed a lot in the past few years. Although they had just met, Ji Haoyu could tell.
In the past, she was straightforward and sincere. She spoke and did things with her own strength. She was very charming.
However, at that moment, those characteristics could no longer be seen. Or rather, Yu Zhihuan had hidden them.
“It’s all in the past.” Ji Haoyu did not want to mention the past, nor did he want to discuss who was right and who was wrong with Yu Zhihuan.
It was obvious that Ji Haoyu did not want to talk about this. Yu Zhihuan nodded slightly and asked, “I heard from Jiahao that you’re in a relationship?”
Yu Zhihuan didn’t know what state of mind she had to ask this question. She immediately felt bitter.
She wanted to salvage the situation, but she did not want to make things difficult for Ji Haoyu.
Ji Haoyu admitted calmly, “Yes, almost two years.”
Seeing Ji Haoyu admit his relationship so freely, Yu Zhihuan’s heart could not help but stop. In the end, she sighed deeply. “Pretty good. Congratulations.”
Ji Haoyu changed the topic and asked, “Are you still leaving?”
Yu Zhihuan was a model. In the current development of the international fashion industry, developing in Europe was the best choice.
However, Yu Zhihuan rejected the European company’s invitation and returned to China. The reason was self-evident.
However, Yu Zhihuan was not someone who would use such a thing to gain sympathy. She immediately said, “I’m not leaving for the time being. If there’s a suitable company, I’ll sign it. If not, I’ll set up my studio.”
Ji Haoyu nodded. Then, Yu Zhihuan said, “If there’s a chance, I want to see your girlfriend. I mean nothing else. I just want to get to know her.”
“See her?” Ji Haoyu was a little surprised, but he let it go. This seemed like something Yu Zhihuan would do.
However, he didn’t know when she would see Xiao Ai.
“It depends on fate…” Ji Haoyu could only say that.
The two of them chatted for a while longer. They talked about nothing important. It was obvious that they had tacitly skipped sensitive topics. There was no reprimand or questioning, no crying or arguing.
This was Yu Zhihuan’s charm. She would always know how to interact with different people and environments.
Moreover, Yu Zhihuan had already got the answer she wanted.
She knew Ji Haoyu as well. From his words and expression, Yu Zhihuan could sense his condition.
The girlfriend he was talking about was real, and he liked her.
Ji Haoyu sent Yu Zhihuan to the door and watched her walk away. On this journey, Yu Zhihuan did not turn around.
She would always be the girl who dared to love and leave. She also knew that some people in her life were meant to be missed.
At night, a typhoon appeared in the sea around the island. The sound of the sea waves stirred by the hurricane was deafening, and the doors and windows were buzzing.
At this moment, Jian Ai was borrowing the power of the phoenix blood to forcefully break through the high-level mental cultivation technique of the power of blood—Blood Fiend Clouds!
“Brother Liushang…”
Before Si Yuehan could finish speaking, Ye Liushang patted his shoulder comfortingly. “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
The High Priest was worried. It was not that he did not believe Ye Liushang, but over two hours had passed, and there was still no movement from the Sect Master. It seemed that the breakthrough was not smooth.
Although it was extremely difficult to break through the high-level mental cultivation techniques of the power of blood, they could not help but worry.
At this moment, Jian Ai’s expression was calm. Even though sweat had covered her face, there was no pain.
Internally, she was taking things step by step. As she felt the changes in her body, she slowly and steadily broke through.
In an instant, a bright red color suddenly appeared in the room. The bright red color spread out from the roof, and not long after, blood covered the entire room.
A wisp of power condensed into a ball and reached her sea of Qi. Jian Ai sensed that the time had come and suddenly opened her eyes. A red light flashed in her eyes, and Jian Ai’s entire body instantly exploded into a blood-colored cloud, losing her true body!
The Blood Fiend Clouds had been mastered!
In the next second, the red color suddenly faded, and the blood mist condensed, restoring Jian Ai’s body.
It was done!
Jian Ai was delighted and exhaled!
Half a year later…
It was the day of this year’s college entrance examination in China in mid-October. It was three months later than in the past because this year, South China suffered a huge flood that affected a third of the country.
The college entrance examination changed fates. It was also a game of fate that determined everyone’s victory or defeat.
The students from the various schools were scattered in examination venues at different campuses. Xia Qinghuan, Lin Yi, Guan Tao, Gao Yang, Yan Tian, and the rest were not in the same examination venue.
On this day, the parents also applied for leave to accompany their children to the examination. People flooded the entrances of the various examination venues. On this day, the traffic bureau also increased the police force to clear the streets and traffic. They stopped large cars from circling the streets around the examination venue and ensured that the citizens would travel normally.
The college entrance examinations were a grand occasion for a student, a family, and even a country.
“Don’t be nervous, Tao Zi. If you perform at your usual examination standards, there won’t be a problem!”
Outside Baiyun’s Sanzhong, Guan Tao’s parents came to accompany her for the examination and couldn’t help but remind her.
The red ribbon tied to Guan Tao’s father’s head meant that she would have a good start. Her mother was wearing a cheongsam with a slit she had made overnight, showing she would win.
Looking at her parents, who seemed even more nervous than her, Guan Tao couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Don’t worry, Dad, Mom. I’ll do my best.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Tao checked the things she needed for the examination and took her admission ticket. After waving at her parents, she followed the crowd into the examination venue.
After finding the class and passing the manual checks, she successfully entered the examination venue.
The moment she sat down, Guan Tao felt a little nervous.
All her efforts over the years were at the last step today. Whether she could get an admission ticket to Huaxia Beauty College depended on whether she could perform well today.
While worried about herself, Guan Tao couldn’t help but worry about Gao Yang and the others. She kept praying that everyone could achieve the ideal results.
The surrounding seats slowly filled with examinees. The time on the wall showed they would stop entering the examination hall in ten minutes, and there was only one empty seat in the entire examination hall.
Before Guan Tao could think too much, someone suddenly walked in from the entrance of the examination venue.
Guan Tao glanced at it inadvertently, and her eyes widened.
Jian Ai!
