199 Lucky Charm
A teacher who was watching from the side ran after Qiao Yue and stopped her. “Are you interested in joining the school’s archery team? You can represent our school and get a ranking.”
Qiao Yue put down her bow and shook her head. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
She carried her school bag and was about to leave the arena when another teacher caught up with her.
“I’m the instructor of the school’s archery team. My name is Cui Min. If you’re interested in joining the archery team, come find me.”
He handed her a business card.
Qiao Yue kept the business card. Although she had no intention of joining the school team, she still had to show some respect.
At this time, the crowd in the arena had dispersed. Sun Bin stood in the archery range, his hands trembling.
He shot his last arrow. 10 points and 98 points for distance. He clenched his fists as he looked at the results on the big screen.
He didn’t expect Qiao Yue to be so good.
However, there were still exams for the academic subjects and other electives. He would not be beaten by Qiao Yue!
Exams for the academic subjects began a few days after the physical education exam.
They were still in their first year of university, so they hadn’t specialized yet. The courses they were doing were still more generic.
On the first morning of the exams, Old Master Qiao specially instructed the servants to prepare a sumptuous breakfast for his grandchildren, to better prepare for the exams.
When Qiao Yue came downstairs to eat, her cousins were already seated at the table.
Qiao Jing, who rarely skipped work, was still seated at the dining table.
When he saw Qiao Yue come downstairs, his eyes followed her.
Qiao Yue felt her second brother’s eyes on her. When she turned around, Qiao Jing had already looked away.
Qiao Xin and Qiao Yue seemed to be in good condition, but Qiao Ying was not. She ate the food on her plate with difficulty, her hands trembling.
“Qiao Ying, are you okay?” Qiao Yue asked.
Qiao Ying shook her head, but her hands were still shaking. She almost spilled the porridge on herself.
“I’ve been like this before. I’m a little anxious about exams, and when it came to major ones, my hands and feet will turn cold and my hands would tremble.”
Qiao Ying said to Qiao Yue with a bitter smile. “But I’m fine. I’m already much better than before. I’m just nervous.”
Qiao Yue frowned. This kind of anxiety about grades was common among students at this level.
But Qiao Ying’s symptoms seemed to be very serious. For her to be in such a state, she must have encountered some trauma in the past.
Qiao Ying should see a doctor. What were Qiao Li and his wife thinking?
After the meal, the school-going children were about to set off.
Qiao Jing followed Qiao Yue and stuffed something into her hand.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing in confusion.
“Take it.” Qiao Jing’s face was cold. “Open it in the car.”
Qiao Yue nodded in disbelief.
She got into the car and opened the paper bag. It was a lucky charm.
The quality looked very good. There was an embroidered red carp framed in gold silk. In C-Country, red carp represented good luck. Although it was a superstition, many parents would give their children such charms.
Qiao Jing seemed rather superstitious.
Qiao Yue hung the lucky charm on her keyring. Perhaps this would bring her good luck.
Even without the so-called good luck, she was confident that she would do well in the exams.
“Cough, cough…” Qiao Ying suddenly started coughing violently.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Ying. Her little face was red, and she covered her mouth with her hand, retching in pain.
Qiao Yue reached out to pat her back.
“Are you still uncomfortable?”
Qiao Ying nodded in pain.
This illness had been haunting her since that incident. It was like a nightmare. She could have gone to a better major and gotten better grades, but because of this illness, she had chosen liberal arts.
Qiao Yue grabbed Qiao Ying’s wrist and pressed a few times at two spots on her arm.
Qiao Ying’s dry retching symptoms improved, but her hands were still cold.
She looked at Qiao Yue with an expression of disbelief.
Qiao Yue glanced at the two people sitting in the back row. Qiao Yu and Qiao Xin were both reading. She motioned for Qiao Ying not to tell anyone about this.
Qiao Ying nodded.
With just a few simple presses, Qiao Ying felt the nauseating feeling in her stomach subside. Her blood flow seemed to have improved and her hands and feet were no longer cold.
“Thank you.”
Qiao Yue’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Qiao Ying.
Qiao Yue replied with a smiley face.
“How did fifth brother do it? Does fifth brother also know acupoint massage?”
“I know a little, but you still need to see a doctor. Otherwise, you will get worse.”
