Chapter 56

Thinking that she would also be unable to take the exam like Ning Qiu, Ning Huimin felt her scalp go numb, and her heart felt a surge of fear.

Shaking her hands, she hurriedly went to the pocket of her jacket, and quickly found her examination admission ticket in the pocket.

Looking at the admission ticket, the expression on his face changed from panic to excitement.She stared, grinned, and smiled distortedly.

"You want to lie to me!? Haha, it's a pity you didn't succeed..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a fist hit her face.Ning Huimin instinctively blocked it with her hands, but at that moment the admission ticket was taken away from her hand.

Ning Qiu ran to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and raised the examination admission ticket in Ning Huimin's hand to the dumbfounded Ning Huimin.

"Don't say it too early." After leaving this sentence, the man ran into the kitchen.

Ning Huimin stood blankly for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she ran out trembling all over.

As soon as she entered the stove, she saw Ning Qiu dangling in front of the stove holding her exam admission ticket.

"you you……"

Seeing that her admission ticket was in danger of being engulfed in flames at any time, Ning Huimin was so nervous that she couldn't even finish her sentence.

Ning Qiu's tone was surprisingly calm, indifferent, as if chatting.

"What about you...give me back my admission ticket, and I'll give you yours too. In this way, we can take the exam tomorrow. Maybe you can get into the top high school in the province, The future is bright. And I will be admitted to the school I want to go to and go my own way, what do you think?"

After a pause, Ning Qiu turned his head.The brown eyes were frighteningly bright, some kind of reflection of the fire in the stove, jumping and flickering.

"I'll give you 1 minute to think about it. If you can't take it out, then I can only throw it into the fire."

Ning Huimin was trembling with anger, and after struggling for a long time, she took out her crumpled examination admission ticket from her trouser pocket, and threw it on the ground as if to vent her anger.

"Back to you!!"

Ning Qiu walked over to pick up the ball, unfolded it and looked at it.

She knew that Ning Huimin didn't have the guts to destroy the admission ticket, and people who liked to make dirty tricks were often not very courageous.These people are afraid of confronting others and like to stab people in the back.

Fear is also a double-edged sword, it can make people more brave and rational.Similarly...it can also make people more despicable and vicious.

Returning the admission ticket to Ning Huimin, Ning Qiu took her own and left the kitchen without looking back.

Ning Huimin, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, stared at the back.His eyes were red, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, trembling slightly.

In Luoyang, the capital of Qin Province, there is a unique building near the outskirts of the city.This building also has Gothic spires, Romanesque vaults and corridors, and Greek-style corridors.

This multi-style building was originally built in the late 20s as a Catholic church.After the baptism of war, it was rebuilt several times and became the Luoyang Yongen Orphanage.

Orphanages take in children who have lost their parents and have no one to support them. A small number of able-bodied children are adopted.The remaining 200 or so have congenital disabilities and diseases, or are too old to be adopted.

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy ran wildly across the corridor with a book in his hand, making loud noises on the wooden floor while running.

A door on the long corridor was opened, and a woman's loud voice was heard angrily scolding.

"Fang Chao!! Who allowed you to run in the corridor!"

The boy stopped for a moment and turned around timidly.

From the other end of the corridor came a thin woman with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, making her whole face look very serious and mean.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Huang." The boy lowered his head and apologized softly.

The woman saw the book in the boy's hand, "Books cannot be taken back to the dormitory!"

"I don't want to take it back to the dormitory. This is the book that Sister Dongling wants to borrow. She has something to do and doesn't have time, so I asked me to borrow it for her."

The woman snatched the book from the child and looked at the cover. There were four big gilt characters "Mother Holle" on the cover.The woman frowned and threw the book back to the boy.

"You are not allowed to run in the corridor, and you will be fined not to have dinner today!"

The boy raised his mouth unconvinced, but said nothing.

After the woman left, he slowly walked through the corridor and stepped up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

The second floor is also a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor are rooms of more than 20 square meters. Each room has ten small beds. This is the dormitory for the children.

When the boy came to the second room, he saw a girl mopping the floor with a mop.

The girl has long black hair, which is casually tied behind her head.Between the slender neck, a few naughty strands of hair slipped down.The sweat on the skin glistened like fine diamonds in the sun.

"Sister Dongling, I borrowed the book you asked for!!" The boy raised the book in his hand, and ran to the girl with a thump.

"Ah! Don't come here!"

"what happened?"

The girl pointed her hand in the direction where the boy was running, "Look, I just dragged it clean!"

Seeing a series of footprints on the ground, the boy scratched his head in embarrassment. "Hey, I forgot when I was in a hurry."

"Go and sit on the windowsill."

The boy gave an obedient 'oh', walked to the window sill, jumped up and sat on it.

The boy swayed his feet up and down, flipping through the book in his hand.

"Sister Dongling, why do you always like to borrow these fairy tale books?"

The girl lowered her head and vigorously wiped off the boy's footprints, but there was a smile on her face.

"Because these fairy tales are very interesting."

"Is it interesting? Why do I think this story is a bit... scary."

"It's so scary. Don't underestimate these fairy tales. They seem childish, but they actually have a lot of truth in them."

The boy was not interested in reasoning or anything, he tilted his head and looked out the window.On the lawn downstairs, a large group of children were playing football. Looking at those children, the boy showed a hint of envy on his face, but also a little bit unruly.

Turning his head, the boy pouted aggrievedly, "Sister Dong Ling, I ran into that old witch in the corridor just now, what bad luck!"

"Huh? She didn't punish you, did she?"

"How is it possible! You don't know the temper of the old witch, she likes to mess with us the most!"

"What did she punish you for?"

"She won't let me have supper, but I'm hungry now."

The girl set up the mop and shook her head helplessly. "You must have done something again."

"I didn't! I just ran a few steps in the corridor and she heard me."

The girl put the mop into the plastic bucket, "You are not allowed to come down, you can only go down when the ground is dry. Wait for me here, I will give you something good."

The boy became interested as soon as he heard it, and asked with sparkling eyes. "what?"

The girl smiled softly, "You'll know later, don't go down to the ground, I won't give it to you when you get down."

"Got it, got it, sister, go get it to me!" the boy urged.

After a while, the girl came back with a bag. Seeing that the boy was still sitting obediently on the window sill, she handed over the bag in her hand.

"what?"

The boy opened the bag curiously, and let out a wow.

"Hey! Keep your voice down! Be careful not to be heard!" The girl said eagerly, suppressing her voice.

The boy covered his mouth and nodded, his eyes sparkling.

"Sister, where did you come from!? These things are so precious!"

"You hide and eat secretly, don't be seen by the teacher and aunt! Do you know!?"

"Well! Don't worry!"
