âThereâs nothing difficult or uncomfortable about it. Thank you for your concern, Dean.â
Zheng Hu couldnât continue the conversation.
He thought that if she said something was difficult, he would give her a few more suggestions, such as asking the teacher to tutor her when she was free.
Putting aside her relationship with Master Nine, he actually had a good impression of Yan Jinyu as a student. He felt that no matter how strong her backer was, she couldnât abandon her studies. After all, if the mountain behind her collapsed, everyone would run away. It was best to rely on herself.
An obedient but not weak child was always very likable.
She had been abandoned by her family. If Master Nine changed his mind one day and she didnât have any ability, her life would probably be very difficult.
He sighed inwardly again.
ââ¦Itâs good that you didnât.â
âI heard that Teacher Xiao arranged for you to sit at the same table as your classâs Bo Lang?â
Yan Jinyu smiled and said, âDean, you even know that?â
âAfter all, Master Nine personally sent you to Boyu. I naturally have to pay more attention.â These words were true. âItâs my fault for not telling Teacher Xiao about this beforehand.â
âYour classâs Bo Lang has good grades, but his personality⦠Of course, Iâm not criticizing him. I heard from others that Bo Lang is a little difficult to get along with.â
He sounded very tactful.
âIf you want to sit alone, Iâll get Teacher Xiao to arrange it.â
âThereâs no need to. Iâll just sit there.â She liked the seat by the window.
If the school could make Bo Lang not sit in that seat and ask him to move in another seat, she would be very willing.
But that was obviously impossible.
Bo Lang didnât look like someone who would sacrifice himself for others.
Seeing that she didnât seem to be in a difficult position, Zheng Hu stopped insisting, âAlright.â
âThen, if you have any difficulties in school in the future, you can tell Teacher Xiao or look for me directly.â
Yan Jinyu stopped in her tracks and glanced at him. Then, she chuckled, âAlright, thank you, Dean.â
âBy the way, I have a few sets of the first half of the yearâs test papers for third-year students. If you havenât seen them, Iâll send them to you.â He didnât even ask her if she needed them, as he was afraid that she would reject him directly.
He did not give her a chance to speak. âI still have something on, so Iâll leave first. Iâll send the test papers to you later.â After saying that, he walked away through the other corridor.
Yan Jinyu watched him walk away and suddenly smiled.
This dean was quite interesting.
In the teaching building, the stairs from the second floor to the third floor.
Yan Jinyu suddenly stopped in her tracks. She saw Yan Jinyun, who was leaning against the stairs.
âWhy are you standing here? Arenât you going to class?â
âI applied for leave and came out to the washroom.â Yan Jinyun pulled a long face.
âThen why arenât you returning to the classroom after using the washroom?â
âIâve been answering questions for too long. I need to get some air.â
âYou came to the stairs for air? The glass windows here are all closed. Isnât it better to stand in the corridor or go straight to the roof?â
âWhy do you have so many questions? I can go wherever I want!â Yan Jinyunâs expression was a little unnatural.
âGo back to the classroom first. Iâll take a breather.â
Yan Jinyu looked at her and smiled. Yan Jinyunâs face turned red before she retracted her gaze.
Without saying anything, she walked past her and went upstairs.
Undoubtedly, Yan Jinyu was in a very good mood at this moment.
***
In the afternoon, Yan Jinyu was speechless for a moment when she saw the thick stack of test papers on her desk.
âJinyu, Dean Zheng personally sent this to you just now. He said to let you read through it first. If you have anything you donât understand, ask your classmates or teachers.â Feng Yuan said this with a hint of schadenfreude.
Even Bo Lang, who was already sitting in his seat, looked at Yan Jinyu strangely when he saw the stack of test papers and revision materials.
âCousin Feng Yuan, did I not give you any gifts after I returned to North City?â Yan Jinyu looked at Feng Yuan and smiled.
Feng Yuanâs expression froze, âThis⦠Thereâs no hurry. Itâs the same if you send it to me on my birthday this year. Or if youâre free one day, you can treat me to a meal. Itâs your thoughts that count, itâs your thoughts that count.â
âThereâs no need to go through so much trouble. I think I can give you a gift now.â
She placed the stack of test papers on his desk. âItâs all for you.â
She still had the scattered test papers. As for whether she would read them or not, that would be in the future.
Feng Yuan laughed bitterly, âNo, thereâs no need for that. Jinyu, this gift is too precious.â
Xu Gui quickly sat further away, afraid that Feng Yuan would give it to him.
âItâs not precious. Itâs a gift. Whether itâs precious or not depends on the thoughts.â
As soon as Yan Jinyu finished speaking, Yan Jinyun said, âI bought him a set.â
She looked at Feng Yuan, âProbably because he has never read it before, so he doesnât know that he has it too.â
ââ¦â Feng Yuan, who was being stared at by Yan Jinyun, was speechless. He had indeed accompanied Yunâer to the bookshop and Yunâer had indeed bought some books and test papers for him. However, he had placed them on the desk after he brought them home and never touched them again. He really didnât know which ones were there.
Yunâerâs gaze seemed a little scary.
He looked away timidly.
âI didnât notice it just now. With Yunâerâs reminder, I realized that I indeed have it. So Jinyu, you should take this back. I appreciate your kind intentions.â
Yan Jinyu smiled. âHow can I take back my gift? Since Iâve given it to you, itâs yours. If you really have it, you can give it to others.â
Feng Yuan was enlightened, âOh right, I can give it to someone else!â
He pushed it to the side. âXu Gui, itâs yours.â
Xu Gui waved his hands. âThereâs no need, no need!â He knew it would be like this!
âYouâre welcome. Itâs rare for me to give you a gift.â
Xu Gui, ââ¦Thereâs no need to. Our relationship isnât something that a mere gift can measure. Besides, this is a gift from Eldest Miss Yan. Why are you giving it to me? Why donât you return it to Eldest Miss Yan? I think she needsâ¦â?it more.
The last two words were stuck in his throat as he was stared at by two pairs of eyes.
Xu Gui felt that it was so difficult for him.
Yuan and Miss Yan looked smiley, but for some reason, he felt that it was a little scary.
ââ¦Alright, alright. Thank you guys!â
Xu Gui wanted to cry.
Feng Yuan wanted to say that he could actually put it aside after accepting it. However, after thinking about it, he didnât say it.
He was different from Xu Gui. Jinyu had already said that this was a greeting gift for him. If he ignored it after accepting it, he would be too incompetent as a brother.
Xu Gui was different. He would not have any objections if he did not work on the gift.
âGood luck.â Yan Jinyu left two words and walked back to her seat.
Bo Lang was about to stand up and let her in when he saw her leap lightly over the table with one hand on it.
ââ¦â He sat back down stiffly.
Fortunately, he did not stand up. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed.
If one looked closely, they would notice that there was an imperceptible blush on Bo Langâs usually cold face.
Yan Jinyu didnât realize it.
Luo Yikun, who was lying on the table, looked at Xu Gui, who was staring at the stack of test papers and about to cry. He felt that it was especially interesting.
âLittle Guizi.â
âWhat are you shouting for!â Xu Gui glared at him.
âSigh, youâre treating me so badly. I wanted to say that I can help you do half of itâ¦â
âAre you serious?!â Xu Gui pounced over and grabbed his arm with a look of surprise.
Luo Yikun was just joking at first. Seeing him like this, his eyes flickered. âYes, really. Iâm bored sleeping every day. I want to find something to do. Iâm worried.â
âYouâre still bored?â Xu Gui looked disbelieving, âWhy didnât you feel bored in the past? Didnât you find something new every few days?â
Looking at his hand that was grabbing his arm, a glint flashed through Luo Yikunâs eyes.
âYou also said that we can find something new every few days. After so many years, Iâve played everything that needs to be played. I canât find anything new now.â
âOtherwise, I wouldnât have come to school on time every day, right?â
âDidnât you come to school on time toâ¦â He suddenly stopped and felt frustrated.
Luo Yikun raised his eyebrows slightly. âFor what?â
âNothing, nothing!â
âYou said you wanted to help me do half of the test. Is that true?â
âYes, really. Eldest Miss Yan gave me an entire set. Other than the test papers and analysis, I can also help you draw out the main points. You donât have to read every page.â
Xu Gui looked surprised, âReally?!â
The smile in Luo Yikunâs eyes deepened.
How innocent was he? If he didnât like them, he could choose not to do them, but he was so honest.
âReally.â
Xu Gui was overjoyed. On second thought, Luo Yikun was a bottom-feeder. What could he do?
âYour results arenât even as good as mine. Can you understand it? You even want to help me highlight the main points!â Xu Gui had a look of disdain as he let go of him and sat back down.
Looking at his arm, Luo Yikun felt a little forlorn.
âIf I canât understand it, you can teach me. If not, we can learn together. Itâs better than you finishing these test papers alone and reading the analysis page by page, right?â
Xu Gui thought for a moment, âThat seems to be the case.â
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. âBy the way, if I can find you to do them together, why canât I find a few more people to do them? Wouldnât it be faster if everyone went through them together then? We might be able to finish it in a few days.â
ââ¦â Luo Yikun. Xu Gui hadnât thought of not doing them, but he could come up with the idea of finding more people to do them. This was indeed⦠strange.
âArenât you afraid that Eldest Miss Yan will be angry if you find a few more people to do it? This is a gift from her. You saw the video on the forum yesterday. Sheâs someone you canât provoke. If she really wants to fuss about it, can you beat her?â
Xu Guiâs expression turned cold as he carefully looked in Yan Jinyuâs direction.
âThen forget it.â
Luo Yikun was about to be happy when he heard Xu Gui say, âIn order to prevent Eldest Miss Yan from getting angry, you donât have to help me. Iâll just slowly endure it alone.â
ââ¦â Luo Yikun.
âEldest Miss Yan isnât so petty. She heard me say that I wanted to help you just now and wasnât angry. I think she also knows that the college entrance examination is only three months away. Thereâs too much information and you canât finish it alone. She doesnât mind if I help you.â
âReally?â
âReally. If you donât believe me, ask her or your deskmate.â
Feng Yuan was looking at them with interest.
He looked like he had seen through Luo Yikun.
Luo Yikun didnât dodge and let him look at him openly.
It was good that Feng Yuan had seen through him. He was afraid that Feng Yuan could not see through him. Feng Yuan had hooked arms with the person he liked every day. He had unintentionally âruinedâ their interactions many times, but Feng Yuan still did not have any awareness.
