Chapter 208 The Mountain City Trip Ends
After everyone explained the truth, Xu Zhiqiang blushed deeply. His already dark skin turned as red as a burning ember.
In the end, Wang Wenjie bought the USB drive, while Xu Zhiqiang continued to look at it.
Fortunately, things like the CET-4 and CET-6, the Computer Level 2 exam, and civil service and postgraduate entrance exams are extremely common on university campuses, and he quickly found several almost brand-new study materials.
This is quite normal; many people buy things on a whim.
After a few days, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Ultimately, this was the only way to sell it.
These exams require a long period of preparation, and unlike junior and senior high school, there are no teachers supervising them, so many people lack the self-control to do so.
Often, they work hard for three days and then slack off for two, and the end result is that they spend money, suffer, and achieve nothing.
Besides self-control, this path is also exceptionally lonely. Many people work long hours, negotiating and reconciling with themselves.
This is not something that can be accomplished through effort alone, so many people get caught in a vortex of internal conflict and can't extricate themselves.
However, Ye Lan believed that with Xu Zhiqiang's intelligence, he would definitely pass the exam, and he would also definitely be able to persevere.
After all, this guy is a tough guy who can do two sets of homework in an internet cafe.
Moreover, the two assignments were completed in different handwritings, and their word and sentence styles were also different.
What can't a person like this succeed at, as long as they don't get involved in love?
Ye Lan wandered around for a long time and looked at many things, but still didn't buy anything.
Unlike Xu Zhiqiang and the others, he was no longer a student, so he hardly needed any of these things.
Even if he can use it, with his current financial situation, he can easily buy a new one; there's no need to buy a second-hand one.
Finally, I sat on a stone bench, smoked a cigarette, and then took a taxi to the mountain city airport.
After dropping Ye Lan off, Xu Zhiqiang and the others found a street food stall and had hot pot and barbecue, enjoying a good meal together.
The night sky was like paint dripped into water, quickly spreading and staining the heavens.
By the time Ye Lan got off the plane, it was completely dark, with only a few stars hanging in the sky. A cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but tighten her collar.
"Damn, this last-minute plane ticket is way too expensive. It was only 500 to go, but it cost 1000 to come back. All the bounty money went into it."
Looking at the deduction of the airfare on her phone, Ye Lan felt a pang of pain.
That's how plane tickets are; you have to buy them in advance, otherwise the later you buy them, the more expensive they become!
However, there's no point in complaining about it now. Ye Lan went to the airport parking garage, paid the parking fee, and then drove towards home.
Today is the last day of Ye Wanying's midterm exams.
If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Wanying will choose to return after her exams.
To be honest, Ye Lan was a little worried about leaving Ye Wanying home alone.
After all, everyone in the surrounding villages knows that his younger sister is beautiful and he is handsome. Just thinking about it makes him shudder if someone has ill intentions.
There's no going back in this world. All we can do is protect ourselves as much as possible and stay away from danger.
After driving for more than two hours, Ye Lan arrived at her apartment building.
After parking the car, take the creaking elevator upstairs.
Insert the key into the lock, exert force with your wrist, and with a gentle twist, the door opens.
Warm yellow light filled the entire living room, and a cozy feeling overflowed through the crack in the door. Ye Wanying was wearing the pink apron that her mother often wore, and the plate in her hand contained braised pork ribs, Ye Lan's favorite dish.
It is also decorated with some yellow osmanthus flowers, which are attractive in color and have a wonderful fragrance.
"Brother, you're back just in time. The soup is almost ready. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Ye Wanying showed no surprise at Ye Lan's return, instead flashing a sweet smile. Her eyes narrowed into slits, and her sharp canine teeth rested on her full, rosy lower lip, as if they could easily pierce it.
Ye Lan found it a little strange, "How did you know I would be back today?"
He recalled that he had never revealed his schedule to his younger sister.
Logically speaking, Ye Wanying shouldn't know that he would be there tonight.
However, the amount of food on the table was clearly not enough for one person to finish.
Ye Wanying walked out of the kitchen carrying a clay pot and said very calmly, "Can you really rest easy when I'm home alone?"
"That's definitely not reassuring."
"So I guess you'll definitely be back tonight, it's just a matter of time."
After washing her hands, Ye Lan sat down at the dining table and gave a helpless smile.
He thought to himself that his younger sister was indeed a top student, her brain was really sharp.
Maybe he can become a detective when he grows up.
After serving all the dishes, Ye Wanying took off her apron and hung it by the door. She then tidied up and prepared to eat.
"Yes, your cooking skills are really good, much better than in Chongqing."
Ye Lan picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and words of praise immediately came out.
It looks just like those coin-operated toys from when we were kids.
"Brother, what are you going to Shancheng for?" Ye Wanying blinked and tilted her head in confusion.
"Do you remember Xu Zhiqiang? He's currently studying in Chongqing. I once took him to play a match against a professional team."
"Really? Who won in the end?" Ye Wanying's eyes lit up, and she bit her chopsticks tightly.
Ye Lan pretended to be very relaxed.
"You know your brother's skill level!"
"I only used 30% of my strength, but I still managed to rout the opponent and easily win the game."
Ye Wanying's big eyes sparkled with doubt, "Really?"
"When has your brother ever lied to you?"
"When I was little, my parents would always give me a red envelope during Chinese New Year and then ask me to pass it on to me. There was always a hundred yuan in the red envelope, and I always thought that my parents had put a hundred yuan in it. But I found out by chance that my parents had always put five hundred yuan in it for me every Chinese New Year!"
Ye Lan looked flustered and at a loss. He never expected that Ye Wanying would find out about this.
His mind raced as he pondered how to answer.
However, Ye Wanying didn't seem to take this matter to heart.
"I'll let it go since you mostly use your New Year's money to buy me snacks."
"The school is holding a parent-teacher meeting in a few days to summarize the midterm results, and you may need to attend."
"I thought there was some big trouble, but it's nothing, leave it to your brother."
Ye Lan patted her chest and agreed.
