Chapter Twenty-Nine: Poor Grades
For the next two days, Shen Fangli waited anxiously and hurriedly for the release of the exam results, she didn't seem to have the energy to do anything, but the other children of her age had a great time, they talked and laughed, sang and danced, and they could often be seen playing in the entertainment room of the orphanage.
Liu Yuhan usually takes a book at this time, sits quietly in the entertainment room and watches, no matter how noisy the surrounding sounds are, she can not move at all, as if she is in a different space from the surrounding environment. But Shen Fangli can't reach her level.
Shen Fangli likes to scatter or gather, likes to be quiet and does not like to be noisy, the quieter the environment, the better her mood, so when it is time for free activities, she will always walk alone along the shore of Haohan Lake, blowing the breeze, thinking about some tedious things.
For example, how is Mai Xiaomo doing now? Is the business of the chic clothing store still good? I wonder if she has recovered from the pain of losing her fiancΓ©. Has Dr. Mai Xiang learned the method of boiling the bone spirit paste? More importantly, with his kind of lost virtue, it is still a question whether he can find the note that Shen Fangli recorded the production method of the bone spirit paste in time.
Before taking the entrance exam, Shen Fangli sent a letter to No. 123 Belen Street, telling her general situation to the Mai family, who had adopted her. Two days later, she immediately received a reply, which was written to her by Mai Xiaomo, saying that they were all right, and asked her not to worry, but to focus on her studies.
However, there was another letter pressed under this reply, and Shen Fangli knew at a glance that it was the grade certificate sent to her by the Illanises Royal Academy, a thing she least wanted to see.
Shen Fangli did not plan to open the envelope immediately, but took the opportunity to ask the candidates who applied for other colleges, and learned from them that this exam was the same as in previous years, except for a few candidates who obtained a B grade certificate and the worst D grade certificate, most of them took the C grade certificate.
Then she went to ask Mu Yunxi, he handed a red booklet to Shen Fangli without saying a word, she was immediately dumbfounded when she saw it, it read "Class A of the A-level certificate sword and spell department, classmate Mu Yunxi" A few golden characters, flashing and dazzling.
Mu Yunxi snatched his A-level certificate, looked very proud, and said that Liu Yuhan also got this result. When he was about to ask Shen Fangli how she did in the exam, Shen Fangli suddenly disappeared with a single arrow step.
Shen Fangli ran all the way to the end of the corridor, looked around, and only after everyone was gone did she carefully open the envelope.
As soon as she saw the yellow cover of the booklet, Shen Fangli had no choice but to admit it, red, blue, yellow, and green, yellow represents medium, it must be a C-level certificate, she opened the booklet and saw that her name was printed in "Class C of the C-level certificate spell department." "A few bright and bright big letters.
In fact, after the exam, Shen Fangli guessed that this exam would definitely fail, but she didn't expect it to be so outrageous, originally she thought that even if there were some mistakes, she should be able to get a B-level certificate, but unfortunately things always don't go in the direction she expected.
It's good now, no matter how cool the breeze is, it can't arouse Shen Fangli's good mood, the loess road under her feet is like the ashes of a dead man, the shape of the buds on the branches is like a pest, and the moss at the bottom of the lake seems to dye the whole lake green under the illumination of the light, in her opinion, green is a bad color, and the booklet of the D-level certificate is green, how can anyone drink such lake water?
Spring is a beautiful season for the recovery of all things, but under the imagination of Shen Fangli, who is not in a good mood, the beautiful spring has become extremely bad.
Shen Fangli sat on the northwest shore of Haohan Lake, staring at the main building of the Orfen Orphanage that stood on the other side of the lake, and the joyful noise of the children could still be heard clearly from afar.
There were many small pebbles on the shore, Shen Fangli picked up a few and threw them into the lake, looking at the ripples on the water, she was unconsciously stupid.
However, how can the ripples of this water form a shape embedded in each other?
Hearing a plop, another stone fell into the water, Shen Fangli quickly turned her head, because she didn't throw a stone, it was Mu Yunxi who didn't know when she was standing behind her.
Shen Fangli stood up and said angrily: "You are elusive, you want to scare me to death." β
"You're throwing stones, it means you're in a bad mood, you have to rely on this thing to solve your mood problem, what do you think I brought?" Mu Yunxi said and took out the wooden fishing box and fishing rod hidden behind him, but the fishing rods he brought this time were two, "Let's go fishing together, today is our last day in the orphanage, after today, we will all stay in the school accommodation, I'm afraid there will be no chance to enjoy fishing again." β
"You can fish it yourself, I'm not in the mood today. β
Actually, even if you don't do well, it's not a big deal, it's just an entrance exam, and there are many opportunities to prove yourself in the future. Seeing that Shen Fangli didn't care about herself, Mu Yunxi came to the shore alone and took a sip of the half spoonful of lake water in her hand, "Hey, you can also take a sip, the lake water here is very sweet." β
Just now Shen Fangli also questioned that it was impossible for anyone to drink the green lake water, Mu Yunxi immediately used her behavior to fight back against her opinion, her anger burned to her throat and eyes, and shouted at Mu Yunxi: "You don't need to mock me like this, green is a bad color, although the C-level certificate I got is yellow, but the closest to the green that symbolizes bad strength, this green water has to be drunk by yourself, I want to vomit when I see it." β
Mu Yunxi opened her mouth wide in surprise and said, "You just got the C-level certificate? It's impossible, as far as Shen Fangli I know usually studies hard, no matter what, he should get a B-level." β
Shen Fangli pointed at Mu Yunxi and said loudly, "It's not all because of you!"
"Because I, why, we're not in the same room, don't accuse. β
So Shen Fangli told Mu Yunxi everything that happened in the test room that day, it didn't matter if he didn't listen, as soon as he heard it, he fell to the ground with a snort, holding his stomach and laughing.
"Don't laugh, don't hear it, I told you not to laugh......" Shen Fangli beat Mu Yunxi hard, but he just kept laughing until he couldn't even breathe.
"Oops...... Miss Shen...... I really admire your storytelling skills, it's a shame that you don't become a storyteller. Mu Yunxi coughed and breathed slowly, "It's just two famous swords, and they actually let you make up such a lingering and moving love story, you are really talented." β
Shen Fangli gently gave Mu Yunxi a few more punches and said: "This is all your fault, who told you and Liu Yuhan to use twin swords, and they are both sword spell masters, and finally they were admitted to the same class, people can't help but think about it." β
"Okay...... Calm down...... Calm down first. 'Yanhe Sword' and 'Yingbi Sword' were forged by a couple......" Thinking of the plot that Shen Fangli said, Mu Yunxi couldn't help it again, and almost rolled on the ground again.
"If you laugh again, I won't care about you, I'll go!"
Saying that, Shen Fangli turned around and left, but was pulled by Mu Yunxi, he suppressed his smile and said politely: "Don't go yet, will you fish with me for a while?"
Shen Fangli withdrew her hand, frowned and said, "Let Sister Yuhan accompany you, I don't have time." β
Liu Yuhan pursed her mouth all day long, and didn't say a word to me, so it was boring for her to come and accompany her. Mu Yunxi made a gesture that was almost pleading, "Okay, just this once, there really won't be a chance in the future!"
"Okay, if you want me to accompany you to fish, you have to have a twenty-minute fishing competition, the one who loses ......" Shen Fangli hurriedly stopped, for fear that she would suffer if she lost, so she changed the conversation, "The one who wins, one thing to do for the one who loses." β
Mu Yunxi raised his hands and protested: "This is so unfair, isn't it? Why does the person who wins have to do things for the person who loses?
"I don't care, if you don't follow this rule, then I'll leave!" Shen Fangli pouted, pretending to leave.
"Good...... Good...... I'm afraid of you. Mu Yunxi scratched his head and said, "Either you change the rules a little, or you win like this...... No, it's too boring to lose. β
"Okay, I'll give in one more step, don't make excuses for me anymore, or don't blame me for being rude. Shen Fangli took a few steps forward, turned around and said with a smile, "It's better to be like this, the conditions remain the same, the one who wins can do things for the one who loses, and it is up to the one who wins." β
"Okay, whatever you want. β
Mu Yunxi sighed helplessly and sat side by side with Shen Fangli on the shore, he put the bait on the hook and waited for Shen Fangli's order.
With Shen Fangli's voice: "Begin." The two of them swung their fishing rods towards the lake at the same time.
Compared with the beginning of learning fishing with Mu Yunxi, Shen Fangli's fishing skills have improved a lot, and it is still easy to catch a fish within a few minutes, but the way they compete is to lose and win, so she used all kinds of bad tricks that could not catch fish, such as stirring the lake, pulling up the fishing rod and putting it down again, in order to lose the game, she even took off the bait on the hook.
Mu Yunxi on the side was fishing seriously unhurriedly, and he even forgot that he was competing with Shen Fangli.
"Shen Fangli, why do you care so much about the matter between me and Liu Yuhan?"
Mu Yunxi came to such a sentence unexpectedly, so shocked that Shen Fangli's fishing rod slipped from her hand, she touched her head and turned to Mu Yunxi and smiled: "Of course friends should care more about each other!
At this moment, Mu Yunxi's rod hair vibrated violently, he pulled the rod suddenly, and a black-scaled crucian carp jumped out, he put the crucian carp into the wooden barrel, pressed the chronograph in the wooden fishing box, turned to Shen Fangli and said: "It's time! I caught a fish, and you didn't catch one, you lost!"
Shen Fangli stretched out her palm and said with a smile: "Hehe, have you forgotten what the rules I have set are? β
Mu Yunxi slapped his head, thinking that it was too focused, he was so focused when he was fishing just now, he actually forgot the content of the bet. Just as he was thinking about what to do for Shen Fangli, a white bird flying in the sky diverted Shen Fangli's gaze.
Strangely, Shen Fangli's expression was particularly excited when she saw this white bird, she waved vigorously to the sky, and shouted: "Xiao Jiu! It's me! Xiao Jiu! Do you still recognize me?"
What's even more strange is that the white bird seemed to understand her words, flapped its wings and flew to Shen Fangli's right arm, making a chirping sound.
"Oh my God, this bird can actually understand what you're saying, it's really a divine bird!" Mu Yunxi was about to clap his hands, but the white bird flapped his wings at him, and a gust of wind immediately blew towards Mu Yunxi, he hurriedly covered his eyes and said to Shen Fangli, "It doesn't seem to welcome me." β
"Xiao Jiu, this is my new friend, his name is Mu Yunxi, you will be called Xiao Xi in the future. β
"Chirp!"
The white bird made a two-tone sound of one rise and one down, like the pronunciation of "Xiaoxi".
"I see, you named this bird because of its call, haha it's so creative!"
Shen Fangli ignored Mu Yunxi and continued to talk to Bai Bird: "We haven't seen each other for five years, and it's incredible that you can recognize me." β
"Chirp...... Chirp ......" The white bird pecked his wings, then hovered over Shen Fangli's head for a while, and then stopped on her hand again.
"Oh, is that so? Then I see, thank you!" Shen Fangli said and raised her hand, and the white bird chirped twice and flew into the distance.
Mu Yunxi watched the white bird go away, and said to Shen Fangli beside him, "Can you really understand what this bird is saying?"
"I guess I can realize it, after all, it's my best friend, and he's saved my life more than once. Shen Fangli lowered her head, and the scenes from before seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.
"Can you tell me the story between you and this bird?" Mu Yunxi turned to Shen Fangli and asked.
Shen Fangli nodded and told Mu Yunxi all the stories before she went to the orphanage.
After Mu Yunxi listened, he said with a solemn expression: "It turns out that you also have such a sad story!"
"Hey, don't change the subject. What should you do if you won just now?What did you promise to do?" Shen Fangli asked with a puff in her mouth.
Mu Yunxi pointed to the fishing rod in Shen Fangli's hand and said, "What I want to do is to give you this fishing rod, this is a fishing rod that I have been using since I was a child, you have to cherish it for me." β
"That's it?"
"yes, that's it, aren't you happy?"
Shen Fangli hugged her hands and snorted: "It's just a broken fishing rod, and I'm not particularly happy." β
Mu Yunxi gently pinched Shen Fangli's face and said, "Still quibbling, if you are not happy, why did you smile so happily just now." β
"Oops, you're being careful that I'm hitting you. Shen Fangli struggled to break free of Mu Yunxi's hand and ran after him, while he desperately circled around to prevent Shen Fangli from grabbing him.
The two kept running and running, until Shen Fangli was tired of running and fell into Mu Yunxi's arms. She pushed Mu Yunxi away, stood up and looked at the lake, a smile swept across the corners of her mouth.
She found that as long as she was with Mu Yunxi, all her unhappiness would disappear.
