59. They Are Such a Good Match
Late at night, Kiana carefully opened the gift from Yun Ling.
It was an orange and white coat, and Kiana fell in love with it at first sight.
She gently wrapped her coat around herself, and the cold winter night didn't seem so cold anymore.
"Ling... Yun Ling..."
Kiana fell into a deep sleep, with traces of tears still left at the corners of her eyes. She held herself tightly with her hands, unwilling to let go for a moment.
『So, the existence of humans is truly fragile.』
『A conflict of love and hate, intertwined feelings. A simple change can tip the scales to the other side.』
『Foolish, ridiculous and self-deceiving...』
『Thinking like this will only lead to even greater betrayal.』
『Kiana, I'm looking forward to that day.』
The Herrscher of the Void was not discouraged by Kiana's slight change of heart. On the contrary, she became even more excited by it.
She was expecting Kiana to lick her wounds in the corner.
Then Kiana will deeply regret her decision today.
A wound that has been sutured will always leave cracks, waiting to break even more completely next time!
…
"Mei! Good morning!" Kiana greeted Mei warmly, ran to Mei's side, and hugged her arm.
"Kiana, good morning," Mei responded with a smile.
"Good morning, classmate Kiana." Yun Ling also greeted her calmly.
He originally thought that what he would get in return was Kiana's continued cold reception, but he didn't expect...
"Morning, classmate Yun Ling," Kiana called to him with a smile.
Yun Ling was stunned. Could it be that a simple birthday gift really changed Kiana's opinion of him?
"Yun Ling, you have a disgusting smile on your face." Mei reminded.
"No way!" Yun Ling was very sure that he didn't make any strange expressions. Perhaps...
At most, I feel a little refreshed.
"Well, let's go quickly, we're going to be late." Yun Ling walked in front, leaving his back to the two of them; he didn't want them to see his embarrassing situation.
"Hahaha..." The two of them were laughing so hard that they fell over.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the classroom. During class, a ball of paper hit Yun Ling on the head, bounced back, and landed right in front of him.
"?" Yun Ling turned around in confusion. At this moment, Kiana's face was a little red. She looked at Yun Ling carefully and then immediately looked away.
Apart from Kiana, there should be no one else sitting behind him who will have any interactions with him at the moment.
He opened the paper ball and saw a line of not very beautiful handwriting.
"Thank you for your birthday present. I like it very much."
Okay, case solved, it's Kiana.
Yun Ling took a deep breath. Was it really because he had given the right birthday gift?
Thank you, Lost Traveler!
"I just happened to see it and thought it was suitable for you. I'll give it to you as your birthday gift. Just like it."
Yun Ling threw the paper ball back to Kiana.
Not long after, the paper ball hit his head again and landed on his desk.
The last and second-to-last students in the class started chatting with each other.
The math teacher above finally couldn't help it.
"Yun Ling, Kiana, both of you, stand outside!"
What a similar scene.
Yun Ling and Kiana came to the door and leaned against the wall.
No one spoke first, and there was a strange silence.
"I..." x2
They both spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
"You..." x2
The classic scene appeared again, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the awkward situation.
"If you're standing outside and not behaving yourself, then just go back to the office!" From inside the classroom came the math teacher's roar.
The two of them quickly fell silent.
"I always feel like this scene is familiar."
"Who says it isn't?"
After class, the two of them were naturally scolded by the math teacher.
He also warned them that if they failed the final exam, they would have to stay for two weeks to study.
Now, Kiana was panicking, because apart from physical education, she didn't have a passing grade in any subject!
At noon, Kiana cried and asked Mei for help.
Yun Ling calmly savored the miso soup carefully prepared by Mei.
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all? You're the second to last!" Kiana got angry when she saw Yun Ling's nonchalant behavior.
"Is it useful to rush? And even though I was the second to last, I only failed four courses." Yun Ling took a sip of miso soup and showed a comfortable expression.
"Why? You obviously read extracurricular books or sleep every day!" Kiana was very unconvinced.
"Maybe this is talent." Yun Ling said quite complacently.
After his most recent simulation, his mental strength was greatly improved, and his ability to understand things also became a little stronger.
Even if he doesn't pay attention in class, he can still learn a little bit from the teacher's lecture.
At the same time, his memory has also improved significantly. If it is just used to cope with exams, then there will definitely be no problem.
"Can being second to last in the exam be called talent?"
Mei couldn't bear to watch it any longer, as her grades were consistently top of the class.
The two idiots in front of her are always slacking off in class and never listening seriously.
"Mei, help me!" Kiana begged, holding Mei's arm.
"Then show some perseverance to match it!" Mei pulled Kiana's face apart.
"It hurts, it hurts... Mei, I will try my best, my face is going to be deformed!" Kiana struggled in pain.
"For the next period of time, you two will come to my place for tutoring every day until the end of the semester! You aren't allowed to make excuses to slip away! And you also aren't allowed to be absent during class!" Mei set the rules for the two of them.
"You want me to do it too?" Aseked Yun Ling, while pointing at himself.
"Classmate Yun Ling, have you forgotten that you are still the second to last?" Mei tilted her head and looked at him dangerously.
"That's because I didn't use enough strength, otherwise... pass? Humph, I will make sure it has no way back!" Yun Ling shouted with a hint of disdain.
"Okay, okay, don't forget to come for tutoring." Mei ignored his second-year remarks and started to clean up the dishes.
"I..." Yun Ling seemed to want to say something.
"Um?"
The power of the Thunder Queen flashed by, and Yun Ling silently closed his mouth.
"Alas, why don't you believe in my strength?" Yun Ling crossed his arms.
"You have to fight for your strength on your own. Wait until you get rid of the second-to-last place." Kiana patted his shoulder.
"I just don't want to be told that by the last one!"
After school in the afternoon, Mei took Kiana directly back home.
"So this is where you live." Kiana came to Yun Ling's house for the first time.
The house is very tidy, after all, Yun Ling and Mei Yi clean it every day.
The most taboo thing when sharing a house is being sloppy, which can easily cause conflicts.
"There are snacks in the refrigerator. Please help yourself." Mei put her schoolbag back in the room and said to Kiana.
Yun Ling went to the kitchen to prepare today's meal.
"Eh? Is it usually Yun Ling who cooks?" Kiana was a little surprised.
"It depends. Usually, Mei cooks, and I help out. But I do cook occasionally."
Yun Ling skillfully put on an apron, washed the pot, and started cooking.
Mei was not idle either and started to help in the kitchen. The skillful and tacit cooperation between the two made Kiana, who was behind them, feel envious.
They...are such a good match.
She couldn't help but think about it.
