Chapter 55: Next Time
=========================
The next morning, Bei Queting was the first to wake up. She looked at the person sleeping soundly in her arms and smiled gently. She placed a morning kiss on her cheek and did not wake her up, getting up quietly.
When she had washed up and gone downstairs, all the elders were already at the dining table having breakfast. They didn’t have much of a reaction when they saw her appear, just greeted her to come and have breakfast as usual.
Bei Queting obediently sat down. She didn’t ask anything and was relieved after observing that they were not injured.
However, Bei Queting did not know that He Ying and the others had not only helped her vent her anger yesterday, but had also made the clan leader’s family pay a painful price.
Since they liked to seal others’ spiritual energy so much, wouldn’t it be better to turn him into a cripple?
The clan leader’s family and Bei Queting’s mother’s parents all had their meridians severed and became cripples.
But they would not tell Bei Queting this. They wanted her to forget the past as much as possible and start a new life now.
Bei Queting understood their intentions, so she never mentioned the past again, and she would no longer be affected by the past.
After breakfast, Bei Queting told them and then went upstairs to accompany Daidai, so she wouldn’t be unseen when she woke up.
When she went upstairs, He Jingsu was not yet awake. She was sleeping in a star shape on the bed, her pajamas slightly rolled up, revealing her soft, white belly, which rose and fell with her breathing.
Bei Queting couldn’t help but laugh. She went up and helped her pull her pajamas down to cover her belly, then pulled the quilt over her. Looking at her soft little face, who could have imagined what a cold expression this dazed and cute little face had shown for her?
She looked at her quietly for a long time, then went to get a book and sat on the soft carpet, leaning against the bed and reading.
She would be going to the school where Madam He Yuan taught. She couldn’t embarrass her.
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but the person on the bed finally slept enough. She let out a soft whimper, stretched out her limbs, and opened her eyes to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
Suddenly, she felt something soft in her hand brushing against her palm. She lifted her hand and saw a small white feather lying quietly in her palm.
Her eyes instantly widened, and all her drowsiness was swept away. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the small feather.
She turned her head and met Bei Queting’s gaze by the bed, her eyes instantly brighter.
“Beibei!”
He Jingsu immediately threw herself forward and held her tightly, saying excitedly, “Did Beibei give me a feather?”
In the bird clan, giving one’s own feather meant a promise of lifelong love!
Being held so tightly, Bei Queting also reached out and held her back, her face a little embarrassed, but she still replied with certainty, “Mhm, it’s for you.”
He Jingsu was so happy that her eyes almost disappeared. She excitedly nuzzled her neck. “I also want to give my feather to Beibei!”
Why hadn’t she thought of this before!
With that, she let go of the hand that was holding Bei Queting and ran out the door to He Ying and the others.
Her action made Bei Queting stunned for a moment, a few question marks appearing in her mind.
Wasn’t she going to give her a feather? Why did she run away?
However, at this moment, He Jingsu had already gone downstairs and found He Ying and the others. She excitedly took out the feather that Bei Queting had given her and showed it off. “Mom, Mommy! Beibei gave it to me!”
He Ying and the others, who had just sent the others off, looked at He Jingsu running over so excitedly and showing them the feather. After a moment of silence, they couldn’t help but let out a low laugh.
This one’s appearance was really so smug!
“Mhm, I know. Little Ting gave it to you.” He Ying ruffled her head. This one was so happy that her tuft of fur was twitching.
Jing Dan also took out a feather and waved it in front of He Jingsu, saying with a little smugness, “I also have a feather~”
Finally, there was something that Daidai had that she also had!
Looking at the feather, He Jingsu blinked, thought of her own business, transformed back into her true form, and spread her small wings, urging He Ying, “Mom, hurry up and help me pull one out. I want to give it to Beibei!”
Bei Queting, who had just come downstairs and heard her words, was speechless.
He Ying looked at the pair of small wings, a hint of reluctance on her face. Such a small pair of wings, would it be particularly obvious if one was pulled out?
“Daidai, our white crane clan will naturally shed a feather when we come of age. That feather is the most meaningful.” He Ying ruffled her panda head. “If you want to give Little Ting a feather, it’s best to give that one.”
“Huh?” He Jingsu was stunned. She hadn’t expected there to be such a rule about feathers. She turned her head toward Bei Queting, flapped her small wings, and crashed into her arms, her tone very disappointed. “Then Beibei, you wait for me to grow up. I’ll give you that feather when I come of age!”
Bei Queting held the panda cub in her arms, a warm smile on her face. “Don’t worry. We still have a lot of time.”
Yes, the two of them still had a lot of time in the future.
He Ying saw their close relationship and was also a little gratified. At such a young age, she had come to a realization earlier than her mommy.
Ever since she had gotten Bei Queting’s feather, He Jingsu had become even more clingy with her. In the past, when Bei Queting was reading, she would still sit quietly by her side. But now, she had to transform back into her true form and have her hold her. It didn’t affect her reading, and she could stay in her arms.
Mmm, and her two hands were massaging her.
Or when she was drawing, she had to be back to back with Bei Queting.
He Jingsu lay in Bei Queting’s arms, inhaling her faint fragrance, so content that she was indescribable.
Bei Queting was also extremely indulgent of her various clingy behaviors. It even got to the point where if she didn’t have a panda cub in her arms when she was reading, she herself would feel uncomfortable.
On Monday, during the school’s flag-raising ceremony, Bei Yan, as expected, appeared on the podium and publicly apologized to Bei Queting, saying that she had slandered her out of jealousy.
In just one weekend, Bei Yan had lost a lot of weight, and her face was also not good. It was clear that she had come with her injuries.
Bei Queting accepted her apology, but she did not say that she forgave her.
At this point, forgiveness was optional.
After that, Bei Yan completely disappeared from their world. They never saw her again in the future.
After Bei Yan apologized, it was also He Jingsu and Bei Queting’s turn to go on stage to make a self-criticism, to repent for their impulsive fighting, which was considered giving the school some face.
At the end, a small poem was attached to the self-criticism, and then she seemed to pull Bei Queting off the stage with a look of shame.
This flag-raising ceremony ended perfectly.
However, the students who had returned to their classrooms recalled the content of the poem and felt that something was not quite right. Why did she have to write a poem? Did she have literary talent?
However, after writing down the poem, someone was shocked to find that it was an acrostic poem!
The first four lines, when put together, meant: Next time, I’ll still dare!
Sure enough, as expected, that tyrant of Xingzhi High, how could she feel remorse for fighting!
The dean of students later found out about this and was both angry and amused, but she couldn’t do anything about her. She could only hope that in the future, no one would be so blind as to provoke them again.
After Bei Yan’s matter was over, there were no more bad rumors in the school. And He Jingsu and the others’ lives also returned to their previous peace. They began to review in an orderly manner, preparing for the upcoming college entrance exams.
And although Bei Queting had been admitted, it did not mean that she was not busy. For the rest of the time, she did not go back to class. During the day, she would be taken to the school by He Yuan. When she was lecturing, she would let her listen in. After class, she would have to organize the key points she had taught in class. She was no less busy than a third-year student.
But Bei Queting enjoyed this kind of life.
She enjoyed this feeling of making progress little by little. It would give her a great sense of security.
However, He Jingsu pouted.
In the past, she could still go to Bei Queting during the breaks, but now Bei Queting rarely came to school. During the day, the two of them were in two different schools. They could only see each other during the lunch break, and then at night, when it was time to sleep, Bei Queting would teleport over to sleep with her.
She hadn’t even finished her third year of high school, but He Jingsu had already experienced the life of being in two different schools in college!
Why did she have to experience it so early!
He Jingsu whimpered in Bei Queting’s arms, but she didn’t dare to go to her grandma to ask for her to be released. She could only be wronged in Bei Queting’s arms and have her comfort her.
Bei Queting naturally knew her little temper very well. She was both heartbroken and amused. She ruffled her soft fur. When the two of them grew older, how could they have the chance to be as clingy as they were when they were in school?
The two of them would be studying in different schools in the future, and after graduation, they would have different jobs. At that time, the cub in her arms would really cry.
She held He Jingsu and coaxed her, imagining their future, the smile on her lips deepening.
But no matter what, the two of them would have each other in their future lives, and in every step of their plans, there would be each other’s figure.
During the winter break, Hai Yuesheng ran back to Huaqing City as soon as the holiday started. But it was a pity that in their third year of high school, Qiu Si and the others didn’t have many days off. Hai Yuesheng could only come to see Qiu Si every day like a thief, pitifully.
Sometimes, if her luck was bad, she would even run into He Jingsu when she was still there.
Every time she ran into He Jingsu, Hai Yuesheng would feel a chill run down her spine. She felt that her gaze toward her was starting to have a hint of her previous opposition to puppy love.
One day, she ran into He Jingsu again. Hai Yuesheng’s originally excited little face also fell, looking miserable.
He Jingsu looked at Hai Yuesheng’s frequent visits to Qiu Si and was always worried that something would happen between them. She had been so worried recently that she was a little on edge.
Taking advantage of the moment when Qiu Si hadn’t said anything, He Jingsu grabbed Hai Yuesheng and teleported, disappearing from Qiu Si’s sight.
Qiu Si was speechless.
Hai Yuesheng, who had been dragged away by her, was speechless.
Did this one not know how long the lunch break was! For every second she delayed, she would have one less second to see Si Si!
But because she was family, she didn’t dare to offend her!
Hai Yuesheng’s heart was about to cry.
After being pulled outside, He Jingsu moved closer to Hai Yuesheng and threatened her very seriously, “You’d better not sleep naked with Si Si now, otherwise Grandaunt will hang you up and beat you!”
Hai Yuesheng’s eyes instantly widened. She didn’t want to understand, but she was already a big kid now, and she understood in a second.
“How would I dare!”
Hai Yuesheng’s roar came from the bamboo forest.
