Chapter 18: The Stars Twinkle

In this strange atmosphere of silence, a month was spent. Qi Ran's monthly exam results were announced, except for language and history, none of them passed, and he was firmly ranked first in the whole grade. In this school, where grades are more important than anything else, Qi Ran's grades are naturally not allowed. But the head teacher knows the relationship between Qi Ran and Cheng Wenxin. So I took the initiative to find Qi Ran after class.

As soon as Qi Ran entered the office, he lowered his head, ready to accept all kinds of criticism from the head teacher.

"Qi Ran, you are not used to the teacher's teaching method, if you have any learning difficulties, you should communicate with the teacher in time. I know that your results this time are not very satisfactory, maybe because of the new environment, you must not be discouraged, you must believe that you will be fine when you adapt to this new environment. ”

Qi Ran raised her head and looked at the head teacher's amiable face in surprise, repeatedly confirming that she really didn't criticize herself. only to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Teacher, can you not tell ······ about this?"

"Qi Ran, I know that you will inevitably be sad if you don't do well in this exam, but the teacher will definitely communicate well with your parents and will not let her blame you."

Qi Ran listened to the intimate words of the head teacher, she really didn't want Cheng Wenxin to be disappointed when she knew about it.

Qi Ran held the report card, but the thin one seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, yes, she didn't like to study, and for a month, she didn't know what the teacher was talking about and didn't want to think about what the teacher's class was.

Because, studying well, for her, is not important at all, at least in the past two years.

"Qi Ran, Cheng Wenxin asked me to pick you up."

A familiar voice came, Qi Ran's stiff body trembled, and after seeing Gu Jingchen's face clearly, he subconsciously hid the report card in his hand.

However, Gu Jingchen, how could he let go of the expression on her face and the small movements under her nose.

But he really didn't have much interest in this little girl's business.

"But it's not time for school to end, there's still a class." Qi Ran stared at a pair of big smart eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose.

Gu Jingchen kept his hands in the money pockets of his pants, and his obviously very ruffian movements were indeed so handsome and natural when he did it.

"Cheng Wenxin helped you ask for leave and took you to see the art exhibition."

Floating down this sentence with disdain, Gu Jingchen walked forward by himself.

Qi Ran could only follow him unhurriedly.

Along the way, the campus was bustling with people.

Qi Ran tried his best to let himself walk slowly. Because she knew that Gu Jingchen was a dazzling existence in this school, although he was no longer in No. 1 Middle School for a year or two, he would always attract many curious eyes. He's a heat-absorbing body with its own light.

Qi Ran is not Gu Jingchen, so he can't be indifferent.

"Can you not always swallow slowly like a snail?"

Gu Jingchen stopped suddenly, stood only a few steps away from her, and said with a bit of anger, Qi Ran's head lowered.

Because the surrounding classmates who pretended to pass by transferred the curious gaze that was originally placed on Gu Jingchen to themselves.

Qi Ran lowered his head, pretending not to understand Gu Jingchen's words, covering his ears and stealing the bell, when Gu Jingchen was not talking to him, but his footsteps ran away like a wind.

Gu Jingchen looked at the person who walked by him briskly inexplicably, and his face was even more unpleasant.

For the first time, someone avoided himself like a plague.

The driver took the two home, and Cheng Wenxin enthusiastically chose clothes in Qi Ran's room, and matched her with hair accessories.

Qi Ran looked at himself who had changed into his school uniform and put on a princess dress, bit his lower lip, and told himself that he had to pretend to like it very much and be very happy.

Cheng Wenxin combed her short hair with a comb, "Our Xiao Ran's hair quality is really good, and the long hair must be very beautiful." ”

"Then I won't cut my hair in the future, keep it."

Qi Ran looked at the picture in the mirror, a beautiful mother and a well-behaved daughter······ So harmonious, beautiful. Just like back then, when Mom and Dad were still around.

Gu Jingchen was already waiting for them in the car, and he changed into an off-white casual suit, which looked casual and full of vitality.

In such a comparison, the makeup that was carefully dressed by Cheng Wenxin looked a little contrived.

Cheng Wenxin asked the two of them to sit in the back seat.

Gu Jingchen's afterglow looked at Qi Ran, and the current Qi Ran was really not a little different from the sloppy appearance he saw in the trainer.

The place to get off is the famous convention and exhibition center in Qingcheng, and I heard that Gu Jingchen also has a special exhibition room here.

However, today is the exhibition of the famous Chinese painting master Meng Qian.

Cheng Wenxin held Qi Ran by the hand, with a standard dignified smile on his face, as if the queen had arrived, and attracted countless eyes as soon as he walked into the exhibition.

Cheng Wenxin is a person who knows how to live and maintain, and he is naturally beautiful, if he didn't know, he would not think that such a beautiful woman is already the mother of an 18-year-old child.

Although Gu Jingchen is not very old, he is also a star today, and his light is something that Cheng Wenxin can't hide.

Qi Ran remembered that the first time she saw Cheng Wenxin, she felt like a queen living in the clouds, and her smile and smile were textbook perfection. I didn't know that I would become such a person many years later.

The people around him are all dressed up to attend, Gu Jingchen's casual clothes, among them, it is more conspicuous, Gu Jingchen plays the role of coldness and silence as always, he is not because he is an ignorant child like Qi Ran, but because of the disdain and pride that faintly appears in his eyes, yes, there is only himself in his world, and he disdains others.

Cheng Wenxin is a well-known figure in Qingcheng, and the people who came today, in addition to really watching the art exhibition, some people came for business.

Soon after Cheng Wenxin entered the exhibition center, several business people came to talk, but Cheng Wenxin refused on the grounds of "not talking about business today", and held Qi Ran firmly with one hand.

Now Qi Ran doesn't know how much price a perfect woman like Cheng Wenxin needs to pay.

Gu Jingchen didn't want to follow Cheng Wenxin, so he deliberately slowed down his family's pace. However, his eyes are very serious about appreciating the paintings, after all, in today's art world, Meng Qian is a rare person he appreciates.

"Xiao Ran doesn't understand anything, you can ask my brother, you don't have to be too restrained here."

Qi Ran nodded, his eyes swept over the paintings around him.

Nowadays, people's enthusiasm for Chinese painting is not very high, so there are very few painters who have attainments in Chinese painting, but Meng Qian's painting style is very natural and atmospheric.

Gu Jingchen seems to be careless, but he is very serious about studying and appreciating Meng Qian's works.

"Cheng Dong is here, and he is far away."

A mellow voice penetrated into his ears, and the protagonist of today's exhibition appeared, and Qi Ran's eyes went to hear it
