Chapter 436 Leaving Beijing
After returning to the inn and handing the dog to Lan Jiu, Lin Jiaojiao immediately took Lin Chun out.
The two arrived at the outskirts of the Ministry of Rites Imperial Academy. There were already quite a few people waiting outside the door. When the gong sounded, the exam was over.
After a while, people came out from the door one after another, and without exception, everyone looked pale and weak.
Until a tall woman appeared at the door, Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly raised her arms, shook them and shouted loudly.
"Xiao Yun here! Xiao Yun!"
Lin Yun looked up and saw the people outside the crowd. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she quickly walked through the crowd and came to Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Chun.
"Sister, Lin Chun, why are you all here?"
Lin Chun stepped forward to help her put on the quilt, and Lin Yun didn't refuse. After all, she hadn't eaten enough or slept well in the small space for the past nine days, and now her mental state was not good.
Lin Jiaojiao felt distressed when she saw how tired she looked.
"Xiao Yun, you've worked hard. Do you have to go back to the academy later? Invite Min Yue and your classmates tonight. I'll treat you to dinner at Jin Yan Restaurant."
Lin Yun was stunned. If it were any other time, Lin Jiaojiao wouldn't be so anxious to have a dinner together. She would definitely let her get some rest first.
"What happened, sis?"
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect Lin Yun to be so perceptive, she sighed.
"Xiao Yun, I can't accompany you until the announcement of the results. Ahem, I've been promoted to a diplomatic envoy. I'll lead a team out to sea in April, so we'll be ready to set off tomorrow and return to Linjia Village first."
We had planned to go back on the day the results were announced because if Lin Yun failed we could still go back together then, but now we can’t wait until that time.
When Lin Yun heard her talk about promotion, her face just showed joy, but she froze when she heard the following words, and her heart started beating violently.
She had a strong premonition.
...
After dinner in the evening, Gong Yue acted more reluctant than Lin Yun and Su Minyue. He stood at the entrance of the school and held Lin Jiaojiao tightly.
"I just met Sister Jiao, and she's leaving me. My heart is broken. Sister Jiao, please don't leave..."
Lin Yun held her forehead with her hand, regretting a little that she had asked her to join them.
Su Minyue ignored the drunk man and looked at Lin Jiaojiao with mixed feelings.
She only stayed in the Imperial Examination Hall for nine days, and Lin Jiaojiao's identity had undergone a drastic change, and it seemed that she would never be able to surpass her.
Su Minyue was feeling a little down, but she mostly wished her a smooth career.
"Be careful on the road, sister. And be safe when you go out to sea. Have a safe trip."
She said this with red ears, then walked forward, pulled Gong Yue over and walked into the school.
"Eh? Let me go! I don't want to be separated from Sister Jiao..."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the two people who disappeared at the door. She didn't expect Su Minyue to say these words to her. She called her sister sincerely.
"Let's go back, Xiaoyun, your room has always been reserved for you. You can stay there for a while when you have time."
"Thank you, sister. I'm sorry for worrying about my affairs."
Lin Jiaojiao stepped forward and hugged her shoulders. "Why are you being so polite to me? No matter how your grades are, I will always be your strong support."
Lin Yun lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, if you find out that someone you sincerely care about is hiding something from you, what will you do?"
Seeing that she looked depressed, Lin Jiaojiao thought that something had happened to her, so she spoke cautiously.
"Well, it depends on what is being concealed. Did Xiaoyun encounter any problems in the academy?"
Seeing that she remained silent and became increasingly depressed, Lin Jiaojiao quickly changed the subject.
"I bought a dog and a mynah bird. Lin Chun also bought one to take back. They are super cute. There is also a mynah bird that can imitate human speech..."
When the three returned to the inn, Lin Jiaojiao hurriedly took out the three puppies and the mynah bird to show off. The three chatted for a while before dispersing.
Lan Jiu locked the three puppies in a cage. The three little guys barked a few times, and probably because they were tired from playing, they soon lay down next to each other and fell asleep.
Lin Jiaojiao had just come out of the shower and was wiping her hair with a towel. She looked at the little ones who had fallen asleep and joked.
"All three babies are asleep. Jiu has been a full-time dad today."
"Full-time dad, full-time dad, full-time dad."
Lan Jiu smiled helplessly, walked forward and took the handkerchief from her hand, stood behind her and wiped her hair, then looked up at the starling in the cage.
"It's fine if the young lady teases me, but you're also changing your mind with the wind."
After hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao smiled and looked up at the starling, thinking that she had to pick up the lovebird tomorrow morning.
"Ajiu, are the carriages ready?"
"It's ready. I've had two more racks added to the carriage. The bird cages are ready, too. They've all been covered with cotton covers. I've also prepared a lot of hot water bottles. When the time comes, close the windows. I think the temperature in the carriage won't be too low."
"Well, there will be some fun along the way."
After Lan Jiu left the room with the cage, Lin Jiaojiao went back to the bed and lay down to look at the map. After yawning several times, she closed the map and turned her head to look at the empty room.
Qi Yao won’t not come, right?
With this thought in mind, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in someone's arms. The familiar smell made her rub against him unconsciously.
"woke up?"
Qi Yao's hoarse and somewhat tired voice came from above my head. It seemed that he hadn't had much rest.
"When did you come last night? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Qi Yao closed his eyes and smiled lazily, "He was sleeping like a little pig. No matter how I called him, I couldn't wake him up."
When she heard that, she immediately nudged him with her head, "You said I was a pig, and it's over if I don't nudge you."
After saying that, she turned over and sat on his waist and abdomen, tickling him.
Qi Yao took the opportunity to press the person against his chest, lifted his waist and abdomen upwards, stroked her waist with his hands, and his voice was extremely lazy.
"Jiaojiao, you have to be responsible."
Lin Jiaojiao froze in an instant, her face red as she buried her head in his neck.
It's still light now, so maybe we can come once?
...
This was the first time since she came to Kyoto that Qi Yao was still in her bed at dawn. She stood by the bed, her legs shaking as she put on her pants, staring with gritted teeth at the man lying on his side on the bed with a full and lazy look on his face.
We agreed to come only once, but I came three times, and each time lasted longer than the last.
It was already daybreak now, and the guards arranged by the Queen for her were probably waiting at the door of the inn.
She thought about it carefully. She and Qi Yao had been speaking in low voices the whole time and had not said anything embarrassing. Lin Yun and Lin Chun probably didn't notice.
She quickly got dressed and then there was a knock on the door.
"May I come in, Miss Slave?"
"can."
Lan Jiu pushed the door open and was greeted by a strong smell. He held his breath and put the basin of hot water on the washstand without looking away, then began to pack up the things in the room.
After washing up, Lin Jiaojiao came to the bedside, only to see that the person on the bed had fallen asleep. She looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and she was afraid that he had not gotten enough rest in the past few days.
She took out a bottle of concentrated repair liquid from her backpack, placed it next to his pillow, and then twisted the quilt for him. Then she took out three boxes of good things she had sorted out in the past few days and placed them next to the bed.
They were all weapons and medicines. Although many of them were too advanced, she just wanted him to win.
She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, then stood up and walked out without saying goodbye.
Until the door was closed again, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the medicine jar beside him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Jiaojiao, wait for me.
