143: Chapter 143: Buying a Laptop 143: Chapter 143: Buying a Laptop When Liu Lingxiu’s class ended, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked out of the school together. Liu Lingxiu already knew that Ye Qiu would be returning to class tomorrow. Ye Qiu rode his bike to Liu Lingxiu’s house. When Zhang Yuehong asked Ye Qiu to stay for lunch, Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu washed their hands and sat down to eat together. Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing were relieved when they heard that Ye Qiu was going back to school tomorrow. After all, there were only twenty days left until the college entrance exam, and they were worried that Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his studies. After lunch, when Zhang Yuehong and Liu Daqing went back to the factory, only Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu remained. As they sat together, Liu Lingxiu leaned on Ye Qiu’s shoulder and said, “It’s good that you’re going back to school. I still need your help with my comprehensive tests and math problems. Why don’t you ask the teacher to move you to my class?” Liu Lingxiu really wanted Ye Qiu to sit with her because seeing Ye Qiu and Su Luoluo together made her uncomfortable. “Didn’t you ask last time?” Last time, both Liu Lingxiu and Su Luoluo had asked. At that time, Su Luoluo was angry that Ye Qiu was ignoring her and wanted the teacher to move Ye Qiu to sit with Liu Lingxiu, but Li Molian did not recommend it. “I’m going to buy a laptop this afternoon. Do you want one?” “Is it for me?” “Of course.” With the college entrance exam looming and university just around the corner, everyone would need a laptop. So, buying one for Liu Lingxiu wasn’t a big deal now. And Ye Qiu needed a laptop as well for his own use. “No, thank you.” Thinking about the expensive phone Ye Qiu had already given her, Liu Lingxiu felt that accepting a laptop too would make her seem materialistic. She wanted to be with Ye Qiu not because of the gifts he gave her. Ye Qiu smiled but said nothing more. Around one in the afternoon, Ye Qiu dropped Liu Lingxiu off at Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School and then rode his electric bike to a computer market in Jiangbei that had all kinds of laptop brands. After parking his electric bike outside and asking the security guard to watch it, he entered the computer market and was quickly dazzled by the variety of laptops. There were domestic brands and foreign brands, with significant price differences between them. Ye Qiu thought about it and decided to buy a domestic brand. His soul consciousness had knowledge about laptops, and he was quite familiar with the brands. However, he still wanted to test the boot-up speed and the speed of opening websites and documents. After testing a few, he decided to buy two laptops: a black one for himself and a pink one for Liu Lingxiu. Each laptop cost around 5,500 yuan, and they came with a mouse, a mouse pad, and some other accessories. Ye Qiu bargained the total price down to 10,000 yuan, paid with his card, and then took the two laptops and left on his electric bike. Ye Qiu first went back to his neighborhood. When he rode the electric bike back to the neighborhood and went upstairs, he saw Chen Fang and Ye Xue. They were curious when they saw him carrying two laptop bags. Once they found out that Ye Qiu had bought two laptops, one for himself and one for Liu Lingxiu, Ye Xue felt a bit uncomfortable. Ye Qiu was so generous, giving Liu Lingxiu a phone, lingerie, and now a laptop, while she, his sister, hadn’t received anything. However, Ye Xue didn’t show it. After Ye Qiu put the two laptops away, Chen Fang asked, “Ye Qiu, don’t we already have a computer at home?” “Mom, I’m taking it to school. I’m going back to classes tomorrow.” At five in the afternoon, Ye Qiu took the pink laptop he had bought for Liu Lingxiu to the school building. When Liu Lingxiu came down, she immediately saw Ye Qiu. Seeing Ye Qiu holding the laptop bag, she asked, “Is this for me?” “Yes.” Liu Lingxiu was overjoyed and quickly took it. If it weren’t inconvenient to open it here, she would have loved to see it right away. Su Luoluo, who came down afterwards, naturally saw this scene and was surprised that Ye Qiu had bought another laptop for Liu Lingxiu. A few days ago, when she asked Ye Qiu for his phone number, he didn’t even want to give it to her, and thinking about this made Su Luoluo angry. Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked out together, and as Ye Qiu rode away, Liu Lingxiu hugged his waist and said, “Ye Qiu, you’re too good to me. I’m afraid I’ll lose you someday.” For Liu Lingxiu, who couldn’t speak for a long time, Heaven seemed very unfair. But after Ye Qiu cured her and allowed her to speak, Liu Lingxiu felt that Heaven had been very kind by bringing her someone as wonderful as Ye Qiu. Now, she was a bit scared that all the good things would disappear! “What are you afraid of?” As long as his cultivation hadn’t reached ascension, Ye Qiu would remain in this world and naturally be with Liu Lingxiu. Moreover, Ye Qiu believed that if he could open that storage ring and take out the divine medicines inside, he could enable Liu Lingxiu to cultivate with him, enter the Immortal Realm, and return to the Imperial Physician World in Heaven. These things, Ye Qiu wouldn’t tell Liu Lingxiu, nor would he tell anyone else. Back at Liu Lingxiu’s house, both Liu Lingxiu and Ye Qiu thought the laptop was too expensive and feared that Zhang Yuehong might say something. So, they didn’t mention it. When Liu Lingxiu took the laptop bag to her room, Zhang Yuehong, who was in the kitchen, didn’t notice. Once in her room, Liu Lingxiu closed the door, took out the laptop, and immediately liked the pink exterior. When she turned it on, she realized that apart from learning some basic typing at school, she was unfamiliar with using a computer since she had never been to an internet café. “You can’t get online here.” Liu Lingxiu knew that she couldn’t connect to the internet now and would need to wait until after the college entrance exam to ask her parents to install an internet connection. When Zhang Yuehong finished cooking and called them for dinner, Liu Lingxiu quickly packed the laptop back into its bag. After dinner, Ye Qiu took Liu Lingxiu back to Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. He then went to a nearby internet café with Li Shen, who had come down from the classroom. “Brother Qiu, Zhang Wei and the others are back in class!” This morning, Ye Qiu had spoken with Li Molian about the matter. Li Molian spoke with the school administration, and the school agreed to revoke the expulsion and major demerits for Zhang Wei and the others. So, they could return to classes. In the afternoon, when Zhang Wei and the others received Li Molian’s call, they came back to school to study. “I spoke to the class teacher this morning to allow them to come back to class.”
