The mother and daughter had a long, heartfelt chat, as if Ji Ying were about to go study abroad immediately, their eyes nearly brimming with tears.
The college entrance examination was drawing ever closer.
Ji Ying had received another letter from Pei Yining.
Since Pei Yining had sent a gift previously, they had exchanged several letters. Reading the spirited letters, Ji Ying could feel that Pei Yining was eagerly looking forward to them attending Beining University together.
Of course, most of it was about Pei Yining’s questions concerning her studies, and she liked to ask Ji Ying about any problems.
Ji Ying would always reply in detail every time.
So much so that each time Pei Yining wrote, she would earnestly remind her not to forget their promise to attend Beining University together.
"Ji Ying, you have a letter."
Ji Ying had just gone to the post office to mail Pei Yining’s reply when she received Pei Yicheng’s letter.
"Hand cream, very nice."
Pei Yicheng’s simple words made her especially pleased; she mumbled: Pei Yicheng still has good taste.
"Just making hand cream is too simplistic. Your company won’t just be making hand cream, will it?"
Curious, Ji Ying wondered whether Pei Yicheng, given that he had registered a company, might possibly be selling only one product.
When Pei Yicheng received the letter, he was standing by himself for five minutes, by then, standing caused him absolutely no pain.
Sitting at his desk, he wrote back in his reply, "Not only that, I’ll also be making perfumes in the future."
He thought for a moment, then added, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Ji Ying’s eyes instantly lit up, it seemed like he was planning to make money from women.
She thought for a moment, then replied, "A beauty fragrant all over, a poor man half a month’s grain, I will definitely be your first customer."
"Hands are a woman’s second face, take care of the hands, and naturally, the face needs more care."
At the end, Ji Ying drew a big, cute smiley face, just looking at it could make one happy.
"Your face, even without makeup, is still pretty."
After writing, Pei Yicheng sent the letter out.
Although he did not directly respond to Ji Ying’s offer to be the first customer, his actions later proved his point.
The first product from Liunian was always reserved for Ji Ying, and even the globally sensational top-tier perfume later was exclusively hers.
She touched her own face. At twenty, her face full of collagen, there was no reason for it not to be attractive.
She pursed her lips and wrote back, "Thanks for the compliment."
As the exchange of letters continued, time quickly moved to mid-June, Pei Yicheng, from initially only being able to stand for a few minutes, was now able to stand for about ten to twenty minutes, and could even walk from the bedside to the window.
All of these progress made Pei Yicheng feel joyful.
He had once thought he would never be able to stand up in his life, but he had finally stood up again.
With less than ten days left until the college entrance exam, Ji Ying became even busier and had not replied to Pei Yicheng’s last letter.
Pei Yicheng seemed to understand her busyness and hadn’t sent any more letters.
July approached, and with the college entrance examination scheduled for July 7, the Xu Family was suddenly engulfed in tension.
"Nian’an, Ji Ying, do your best in the exams, and it’s alright even if you don’t pass," Ji Ying’s mother comforted them, fearing they might be too nervous and excited because of the exams.
"Mom, I will definitely pass," Xu Nian’an said firmly, determined not to let his family down.
