Chapter 449 - Looking Increasingly Like Master w.a.n.g"s Love Rival

"This examination… ugh! In any case, just tell her that this examination isn"t that important. There"s the College Entrance Examination in three months, we"ll cheer her on and work for it together."

She had said this to Liang Bowen so many times, he could recite her words to her. Realizing that she was about to start nagging again, he cut her off and said, "Alright, I got it, you don"t have to tell me over and over. I"ll let Sister Nian know when I see her later. I will also hand her the gift that our cla.s.s prepared. Don"t worry!"

With that, he saw someone approaching him from his peripheral vision and hurriedly said, "She"s coming, I"ll update you later."

He hung up and kept his cell phone, then greeted the person coming his way. "h.e.l.lo, Sister Nian."

Qiao Nian looked at his sports attire and the little luggage he brought with him. She felt a headache coming on as she nodded with some frustration.. "You came alone?"

Liang Bowen shrugged and said, "Well, I"m the only person in cla.s.s who gets enough allowance, so they sent me in their place."

Qiao Nian raised a brow, not understanding him. So, what was he here for?

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Liang Bowen thought about how he came with an entire cla.s.s"s mission. He took a deep breath and observed Qiao Nian"s expression. She looked fine on the outside and didn"t seem to have suffered a blow.

He was slightly relieved to see this. He then took a gla.s.s bottle out of his bag and handed it to her. "Sister Nian, this is something everyone prepared for you."

Qiao Nian took the item from him and asked, slightly puzzled, "What"s this?"

"It"s… a gift."

Liang Bowen tried to catch her reaction. Seeing that she was fiddling with the gift, he continued, "Well, Sister Nian, Shen Qingqing read on the Internet that folding 500 of these paper cranes would grant you a wish. Everyone folded these 500 paper cranes without making a wish yet, but we all wrote what we wanted to say to you in them. Why don"t you make a wish instead?"

Gu San joined them out of curiosity and took a closer look at the bottle in Qiao Nian"s hands. It was filled with colorful paper cranes. He looked up at the guy standing opposite him and asked, "You came all the way to Beijing just to hand Miss Qiao paper cranes?"

d.a.m.n this guy. Why was he starting to look increasingly like Master w.a.n.g"s love rival? Coming such a long way just to give her paper cranes… he would be touched too if he was a girl.

Liang Bowen didn"t want to explicitly mention Qiao Nian"s failure to enter Qing University. He pursed his lips and brushed his nose, then coughed awkwardly. "Not exactly. I"m here on behalf of the cla.s.s to comfort Sister Nian and to tell her not to dwell upon it too much."

Gu San was puzzled.

Qiao Nian didn"t bother to talk to them. She opened the gla.s.s bottle, picked up one of the paper cranes, and then unfolded it.

She detected a faint scent on the floral-decorated origami paper. A line of words written in cursive was seen when she unfolded the crane: All the best for the College Entrance Examination, Sister Nian.

Gu San also read the words and raised a brow. A hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

Qiao Nian"s expression was unreadable. She folded the paper crane back into its original form and returned it to the bottle. Then, she took another one out and unfolded it.
