LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 43 - I
Xie Qi was completely relaxed.
Another week had passed, and it was time to check the examination results.
Xie Qi, Fan Qingyue, and Li Siwen all crowded in front of the computer. Li Siwen checked first. Among other things, Qin Yizhi’s internet speed seemed to be much faster than theirs. The webpage that usually very slow was now particularly obedient and jumped out the results. When Li Siwen saw it, she cried out in surprise, “585! Oh my god!”
Fan Qingyue was speechless, “Not bad, Siwen, your score is 20 points more than your usual result, right? Extraordinary. Very good.”
Li Siwen chuckled, “Hehe.”
Fan Qingyue said, “It’s my turn to check.”
Fan Qingyue entered his admission ticket number and ID number, but it was a little slow this time. Still, it was within the acceptable range. Fan Qingyue’s score popped up. Li Siwen took a look and said, “…Wow, 576, it’s nine points less than me.”
Fan Qingyue: “…”
Li Siwen remarked, “It’s normal. Who told you to play basketball on the break time? Qizi and I stayed in the classroom writing papers at all times.”
Fan Qingyue stubbornly replied, “Although your grades are better than mine, your physique is not as good as mine. Like Qizi, he used to learn judo, and he could climb Dachong Mountain with me without any fuss. Now, he can’t even move without straining his waist.”
Xie Qi said, “It’s true that my physique is not as good as yours.”
When it was time for Xie Qi to check his results, he hadn’t entered his admission ticket number yet. A call came through. Li Siwen picked up Xie Qi’s phone and looked at it. She let out an “ouch” and said, “It’s our big brother-in-law.”
Xie Qi took it over. The call was answered, “Hello?”
Qin Yizhi asked briefly and concisely: “What’s the score?”
Xie Qi replied, “Oh, I haven’t checked yet.”
Qin Yizhi said, “Go check.”
Xie Qi put down the phone and went to the side to enter his ID number. There were probably more and more people coming to check, and a small chrysanthemum appeared on the web. It took a long time before the results page popped up. Li Siwen had good eyesight and could see clearly at once. She said “ah” and shouted in surprise: “Qizi, you are amazing, your score is 679! That’s 10 points more than your usual result.”
Her voice was loud enough that Qin Yizhi heard it. Xie Qi picked up the phone and spoke to Qin Yizhi. Qin Yizhi was silent for a while and asked, “Are you planning to go to T University?”
Xie Qi said, “Of course.”
Qin Yizhi was silent.
Xie Qi didn’t have anything to worry about now. Since Qin Yizhi said their agreement was mutual and both got what they needed, Xie Qi felt the relationship between the two of them was actually relatively equal now, so he said it directly: “You don’t want me to, isn’t it because you are in City H?”
Qin Yizhi paused and admitted, “Well, it’s so close. And H University is one of the best in the country.”
“I am confident in my ability. But my grades are not that good. Even if I want to go, I have to have high scores, right?”
Qin Yizhi said, “Yeah.”
Xie Qi said, “It doesn’t matter, City T is not far from City H. I checked and it’s only two hours by train.”
Qin Yizhi didn’t say anything. Xie Qi hesitated and said, “I really have no choice. If I can pass the exam, I will go. Everyone will want to go, who doesn’t like to aim higher? But mine just impossible.”
Qin Yizhi said in a low voice, “The University of Science and Technology of China is good, and it is also in City H. It is better than other 985 universities. Maybe you can consider it. It will be more convenient for you to find a job in the future.”
Xie Qi: “…”
Xie Qi discovered that although Qin Yizhi was controlling his desire for control, he was still a bit like Yao Wenzhu. If he couldn’t be tough, he would use soft toughness to control others.
Xie Qi felt the two of them had an equal relationship now – before, perhaps because of guilt, he might have treated Qin Yizhi more gently, but now Xie Qi always felt that he could not spoil the man, so he spoke as if nothing had happened. He said: “No, I have already decided to go to T University, so I will go to T University. I won’t change my plan.”
Qin Yizhi asked again, “What major do you want to take?”
Xie Qi replied, “Uh, I haven’t thought much about this.”
Qin Yizhi suggested, “Majoring in communications engineering, Internet, or artificial intelligence would be suitable for you.”
Xie Qi would certainly listen to reasonable suggestions. Humbly, Xie Qi asked, “What do you think of these current directions? Is the development going well?”
Qin Yizhi responded with a thoughtful “Hmm” and continued, “There are also majors in aerospace, aircraft design, or aircraft power engineering, but there are restrictions on employment after graduation from such majors, and they don’t allow for easy job changes. I think they’re not suitable for you.”
“It’s really not suitable,” Xie Qi remarked, expressing his dislike for jobs with too many restrictions.
Qin Yizhi then suggested, “Then artificial intelligence. The future is like a blue ocean. I can give you a company to practice.”
Qin Yizhi asked, “So, are you sure you want to major in artificial intelligence?”
Xie Qi replied, “Well, that’s it, thank you.”
Qin Yizhi paused and said in a low voice, “It’s fine. You can say these two words less in the future.”
“Ah? Which two?” Xie Qi asked.
Qin Yizhi clarified, “Thank you.”
Xie Qi scratched his neck and asked, “Why can’t I say these two words? Do you want me to talk less? Is there any taboo?”
