Xie Zhongxing blinked a few times and asked, “Why did you give her a professional chatting service number?”

Qin Zhongyue answered seriously, “If I don’t give her that, am I supposed to give her my number?”Xie Zhongxing, “……”Xie Zhongxing, “What she wanted was your number.”“Huh? Mine?” Qin Zhongyue said, “I have already done my part comforting her. There’s nothing else for me to say to her.”Xie Zhongxing, “……”Qin Zhongyue continued earnestly, “Don’t worry, the other party is a professional. He will definitely help the young girl walk out of her heartbreak and rebuild her confidence towards love.”“……” Xie Zhongxing, “With you so actively introducing business to him, I’m sure he is very grateful?”Qin Zhongyue, “Yeah, he needs money right now. His parents aren’t giving him any so he can only be self-reliant.”Xie Zhongxing, “…..Who?”Qin Zhongyue, “A childhood friend of mine.”He then clarified, “It’s not Li Jun. I have quite a few childhood friends. He’s called Hua Rong. You’ve heard of Hua Rong, no? One of the generals in Water Margin also has that name. His parents are both university professors and pretty well off but his parents are strict so they don’t give him money and he can only earn it himself.”“But he’s very good with conversations and he’s also fast at typing. Chatting with him puts you in a good mood. Once that girl chats with him, she’ll most definitely forget about Xie Zi’an.”Hearing this, Xie Zhongxing felt that Qin Zhongyue seemed to still have good friends. He asked a few more questions about him. Qin Zhongyue answered without holding anything back, “If you look for him now, he asks to be paid. He doesn’t care about anything except money! But if you have anything on your mind, you can have a chat with him. I am a black-gold VIP member of his, you won’t need to pay to chat with him.”Xie Zhongxing keenly noticed that something was off, “How much did the black-gold VIP membership cost you?”Qin Zhongyue answered heartily, “Ah, I got a family and friend discount. Hua Rong charged me an annual price of three hundred thousand yuan.”Xie Zhongxing, “……”His eyelids twitched.“It’s five hundred an hour. Think about it. Three hundred thousand a year. Isn’t that a good deal?” Qin Zhongyue was rather proud, “So I introduced a few more clients to him to help with his business.”Xie Zhongxing was silent for a long time.Qin Zhongyue was still waiting for him to praise him but, seeing that he wasn’t speaking, he became uneasy, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Xie Zhongxing asked, “Do you still plan on inheriting your family business in the future?”Qin Zhongyue remembered the grand things he had done in the past and said hesitantly, “I guess? My dad only has me as his son.”Xie Zhongxing said seriously, “I think your dad should consider having another son.”Qin Zhongyue, “I don’t think it’s possible. My parents have already divorced. How are they going to have another child?”Xie Zhongxing, “……….”Why were there so many separated families around him?Qin Zhongyue however was unconcerned. He continued, “But my dad wants to reconcile, but has been unsuccessful so far. My mum thinks he’s always too busy working. Their relationship will probably only improve after he retires.”When Xie Zhongxing heard this, he felt a bit sorry for Qin Xiangqian.With a son like this, he must be very troubled as a father.Xie Zhongxing once again remembered the matter with the chatting service and his eyelid started to twitch again.And Qin Zhongyue at this moment added, “Oh right, I’ll give you Hua Rong’s number later too. You can chat with him about anything you want. It’s free.”Xie Zhongxing, “……..”While his eyelid twitched, he expressionlessly spoke up, “If there is something I want to talk about, I can just talk to you. Why would I go and find him?”Hearing this, Qin Zhongyue felt warm inside. With flushed cheeks, he stammered, “Y-yeah, if you have anything you want to talk about, you can just talk to me.”Xie Zhongxing turned to look at him and continued gently, “You too. If you have anything you want to talk about, just find me. No need to find a chatting service.”Qin Zhongyue smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth. His eyes were bright and sparkling, “Yeah, if I have something I want to talk about, I can just find you. There’s no need to find him anymore.”Xie Zhongxing, “So you should go and ask that friend of yours if you can get a refund.”Qin Zhongyue, “………”Xie Zhongxing’s tone was gentle, but it was commanding, “Go do it now.”Qin Zhongyue, “……..”For a moment, he felt he saw the Xie Zhongxing in his past life kicking him out of the house, ordering him to get back his money.*

In the end, Qin Zhongyue got the money back. Hua Rong didn’t say anything and simply transferred it back, even thanking him for referring more clients to him along the way.Qin Zhongyue muttered, “I feel bad for him.”Xie Zhongxing, “If you feel bad for him, you can refer more clients. You on the other hand no longer need his service because you have me, yes?”Hearing this, Qin Zhongyue’s originally fair complexion flushed red. His bright eyes stared at Xie Zhongxing’s beautiful face, seemingly wanting to say something but too afraid to say it.Even he himself didn’t know what he wanted to say. In the end, he could only spit out a few words, “I’ll go study.”Xie Zhongxing was also silent. His throat felt a little dry. He picked up a glass from the coffee table and gulped it down before getting up and returning to the room with Qin Zhongyue, “The day after tomorrow is the college entrance exams. Don’t be nervous. Let’s just go through the questions I mentioned earlier.”Qin Zhongyue looked at the worksheets glumly, “What if I don’t get in and you do? Where do I go if that happens?”Xie Zhongxing, “It won’t happen. Teacher Wei and I worked together to predict the questions. Although we won’t be able to get 100% accuracy, at least 50% accuracy is possible. As long as you are able to handle this half well, the remaining 70 points or so should be easy for you.”Qin Zhongyue nodded and was determined, “If I don’t get in, I’ll repeat and do it again next year! You must wait for me.”Xie Zhongxing reassured him, “Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”At night, Qin Zhongyue was still very nervous. Hearing his sometimes shallow and sometimes heavy breathing, Xie Zhongxing asked quietly, “You’re still awake?”Qin Zhongyue was silent for a moment before responding, “Can’t sleep. You can punish me and make me do more papers.”Xie Zhongxing said, “I won’t punish you. Hasn’t it been a while since you’ve rubbed one out? Since you’re nervous, you can try doing that.”Over the two months of tempering, Qin Zhongyue was no longer how he was before. Hearing Xie Zhongxing’s words, he was indifferent, “It’s okay. If I do that, I’ll forget everything I learnt.”Xie Zhongxing, “……”Oh. I forgot his dick is his brain.Xie Zhongxing said, “Then forget it. If worst comes to worst, just force yourself to sleep.”Qin Zhongyue let out an ‘en’.Xie Zhongxing closed his eyes. He also couldn’t sleep. His grades were fine but he was worried about Qin Zhongyue.He even began to hope for a miracle.

Xie Zhongxing was restless. A while later, he reopened his eyes and whispered, “Are you asleep?”Qin Zhongyue didn’t respond.After some silence, Xie Zhongxing moved closer to Qin Zhongyue and heard his steady breathing.Xie Zhongxng reached out to turn on the light and saw that Qin Zhongyue was completely knocked out.Xie Zhongxing, “……..”Looks like he was the only one who was too nervous to sleep.*No matter how nervous the two of them were, the day of the college entrance examination still came.When leaving in the morning, Xie Zhongxing very carefully checked over and over again their exam supplies before heading for the exam centre.When the time finally came, Qin Zhongyue was no longer nervous. He looked up at the sky, “It looks like it’s going to rain today.”Xie Zhongxing who heard this ran out to a nearby store and bought two folding umbrellas. He placed one of them in Qin Zhongyue’s bag.Qin Zhongyue, “I was just commenting on it casually. It might not necessarily rain.”Xie Zhongxing responded seriously, “It’s better to be prepared. If you get wet and catch a cold, it will affect your performance.”Qin Zhongyue, “Alright then.”Xie Zhongxing reassured him, “Don’t be nervous. If you really can’t solve it, just leave it blank. Don’t waste time on problems you can’t do. It will only affect the later problems.”Qin Zhongyue nodded, “I know, don’t worry.”Xie Zhongxing wasn’t actually too worried about Qin Zhongyue rushing through the problems. Probably because of his personality, Qin Zhongyue was quite calm and wouldn’t panic when encountering a problem he couldn’t solve. That was important. As long as you don’t panic and stay calm, you will surely be in a good mental state.That was also the reason why Qin Zhongyue was able to improve so rapidly.On the contrary, he himself was a little nervous.Xie Zhongxing found it a little funny. He was more worried about Qin Zhongyue than himself.Seeing them, Wang Yuxue asked repeatedly, “Have you brought your admission ticket? While you still have time, double check you have it. Don’t be careless.”All the classmates checked and said in unison, “Yes.”

Wang Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”The exam centre this time happened to be at Fifth High School and some of the students from Fifth High School were also doing their exam there. Xie Zhongxing caught sight of Xie Zi’an and it was the same for the latter. The other party however didn’t dare look at him and quickly lowered his eyes.Xie Zhongxing looked to the side. Sure enough, he saw Liu Xiu and Xie Guoxu standing around Xie Zi’an, completely unaware of his presence.Xie Zhongxing thought to himself: Everything is fine now.After the whistle blew, the school gates slowly opened. The examinees entered the venue one after another and the college entrance exam began.The first exam was Chinese. After Xie Zhongxing received the paper and skimmed through the questions, the heart that was originally tense finally relaxed.Qin Zhongyue’s Chinese was his weakest subject and, because his brain worked differently to others, his reading comprehension was also very poor. He however had a lot of practice with these types of questions so he should be fine.Later that afternoon, it was the Mathematics exam. When Xie Zhongxing received the paper, he was pleased inside. A lot of the questions were the ones he had predicted and he had gone through them with Qin Zhongyue. He should be fine with this too.Both of these subjects did not appear to be a problem and Qin Zhongyue was also good at Science and English.Xie Zhongxing was no longer worried about Qin Zhongyue. He tightened his grip around his pen and focused his attention on the problems.After the two exams were over, Xie Zhongxing saw Qin Zhongyue at the door. He strode over and asked with a smile, “How did you go?”Qin Zhongyue said excitedly, “I could do them all!!!”Hearing this, the smile on Xie Zhongxing’s face became a lot brighter, “Really?”Qin Zhongyue, “Really! I went through it all without stopping!”Xie Zhongxing was relieved, “Then you should be fine with Science and English tomorrow?”Qin Zhongyue nodded with confidence, “Yes!”As they chatted, someone nearby lamented, “The last question on the second page of the Mathematics exam was so hard. I couldn’t solve it at all.”Xie Zhongxing then saw Qin Zhongyue exclaim with a horrified look, “What? There was a second page in the Mathematics exam? Wasn’t there only one page of problems?”Xie Zhongxing, “………”Xie Zhongxing, “?”
