Yan Jinyu glanced at him and nodded as an answer.
She said, âSince youâre going to Linlinâs house as her classmate, you donât have to call me Miss Yan. Just call me Schoolmate Yan so that Linlin wonât be in a difficult position.â
Zhao Linlin was very touched when she heard that.
She knew what Jinyu meant. She wasnât afraid that her family would nag at her. After all, her father would explain it to her mother.
Jinyu was afraid that the neighbors would gossip about her.
Since they were pretending to be classmates, they had to do a proper job.
Jinyu was reminding Jiang Xianyou.
Father Zhao heard their conversation and did not interrupt. He was smiling.
He was glad that his daughter had made a friend who cared about her.
At his age, he could understand some of the words even if they didnât say them clearly, including the meaning behind Schoolmate Yanâs words.
Jiang Xianyou was stunned for a moment before saying, âIâm sorry, Student Yan. It was my mistake. Iâll pay attention in the future.â
After saying that, he didnât seem to have any intention of speaking again. It was as if he was simply confirming that Yan Jinyu was from North City.
Mo Qian did not understand.
Qin Xuan, Chu Xiaohuan, and Zhao Linlin didnât understand either.
Even Jiang Xianyouâs brother, Yang Jun, didnât understand.
âNo, Brother, why did you suddenly ask Schoolmate Yan if sheâs from North City? You canât be asking casually, right? Youâre not the kind of person who asks where she is from the first time you meet her.â
Qin Xuan and the other two were vigilant when they heard that.
Could it be that Jiang Xianyou had taken a fancy to Jinyu?
Please donât. If Master Nine found out that Jinyu had attracted an admirer after coming out with them, they would be in trouble.
It would be even harder for them to go out with Jinyu in the future.
âIâm just asking.â
After saying that, he nodded politely at Yan Jinyu. âMy name is Jiang Xianyou. Iâm from the Jiang Family in Water City. Iâm Tan Shiyun and Bo Langâs junior high school classmates. Iâm also friends with them.â
The Jiang Family was second only to the Bo Family in Water City.
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly. âSo youâre from the Jiang Family. Nice to meet you.â
Yan Jinyu didnât think that Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun would mention her to Jiang Xianyou, but with Jiang Xianyouâs status, it wasnât strange to for him to know that Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun were her high school classmates and they even had a cooperative relationship.
âNice to meet you.â
âNo, You, donât tell me that the Bo Lang and Tan Shiyun you are talking about areâ¦â
Jiang Xianyou glanced at him and Yang Jun immediately understood.
He took a deep breath. Wasnât that the eldest son of the Bo Family and the cousin of the Tan Family?
âDoes Schoolmate Yan know them?â Yang Jun asked.
âWe were high school classmates.â
âI see.â Yang Jun was in the same school as them in junior high, but they were not familiar with each other. They were not in the same league to begin with. It was a coincidence that he was familiar with Jiang Xianyou.
However, he had heard of both of them.
However, he didnât know who Yan Jinyu was, unlike Jiang Xianyou, who could think of so much when he heard her name and coupled with the fact that they said that Yan Jinyu was from North City and was considered half a citizen of the capital now.
âThen this world is really small. I can meet people with common friends even when Iâm so far away.â
âThe world is indeed very small.â Chu Xiaohuan couldnât help but lament.
Tan Shiyun had eaten with them a few times and was considered familiar with them.
Who would have thought that this unrelated person had a common friend with them?
So they only had a common friend. Mo Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but before she could completely heave a sigh of relief, her heart skipped a beat again.
âSenior Jiang, why do you know that Schoolmate Yanâs your friendâs classmate when you only hear her name? Did your friend mention Schoolmate Yan to you?â
She had a strange feeling.
Jiang Xianyou didnât even look at her. âNo.â
This made Mo Qian speechless. She wanted to ask again, but she didnât have the face to.
Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan looked at each other and smiled.
Tsk, they finally understood.
This was a love triangle.
Unfortunately, the Jiang Family in Water City was also considered a big family. The young master of the Jiang Familyâs taste would not be so bad.
âSo you have a common friend with Schoolmate Jinyu, young man. Then, weâre really fated.â Father Zhao sighed innocently.
âWeâre indeed very fated. In that case, Iâll be much more at ease staying at Uncleâs house for the next few days. Otherwise, itâs not appropriate to stay at Uncleâs house as a stranger. Even I feel that Iâm a little untrustworthy.â
Jiang Xianyou joked and Yang Junâs jaw almost dropped.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime series.
âYoung man, your words are really interesting. Even if we donât know each other, so what if you stay in Uncleâs house? Not to mention that you really canât be a liar, even if you are, Uncleâs family is poor. Whatâs there for you to cheat?â
âYour daughterâ¦â Jiang Xianyou quickly replied.
Silence filled the air.
Fortunately, Jiang Xianyou was calm and quickly reacted. He smiled and said, âI mean, your daughter is so outstanding. There are still many people who will covet her. Perhaps Iâm one of them. Uncle, donât be humble. You have to be careful.â
Zhao Linlinâs lips twitched in embarrassment.
She felt even more awkward when the three people opposite her looked at her mockingly.
Father Zhao didnât think too much about it. After all, this young man didnât know his daughter before today.
Hearing Jiang Xianyou say that, he was very happy. âYou know how to talk, young man. Iâve always felt that my daughter is very outstanding and will be targeted by many people. However, if the young man who wants my daughter is someone like you, itâs not impossible.â
âDad! What are you talking about!â
âIâm joking. Linlin, youâve been studying outside for a year. Why are you still so shy?â
âDad!â
âAlright, alright. Dad wonât laugh at you anymore.â
âYoung man, Uncle is just joking. Donât take it to heart.â
âI should be the one saying that. I misspoke just now. Uncle, please donât mind me.â
âUncle isnât someone who canât joke. Itâs fine. The road ahead is a little bad. Hold on tight.â
Indeed, there were a few huge craters on the road in front of them. Even Yan Jinyuâs body swayed. The others held on tightly, but they still jumped up and sat down. It felt ârefreshingâ when that repeated.
After they passed the bumps, Jiang Xianyou whispered to Zhao Linlin, âIâm sorry about earlier. I said something wrong.â
âItâs fine. Just pay attention next time. My mother isnât as easy to talk to as my father. I canât explain it if you did that again. My mother might think that Iâm lying to them on purpose that we donât know each other.â
Zhao Linlin wasnât spouting nonsense. No matter what, they had taken the same bus here. It was too much of a coincidence.
If these two people had not come with Mo Qian and were now sitting in her tricycle, as the party concerned, she would have suspected that she knew them before this and pretended not to know them because she was afraid that her parents would find out.
Even she would think so, let alone her mother.
Jiang Xianyouâs face twitched. Was it that serious?
âIâll pay attention.â
Mo Qianâs face twisted in jealousy.
Why did Zhao Linlin have to snatch her limelight no matter where she went?
Everyone said that Zhao Linlin was outstanding in the same village. Her parents always compared her to Zhao Linlin, saying that she was inferior to Zhao Linlin in every aspect. In school, Zhao Linlinâs results were good, her looks were not bad, and she was very popular. There were many people who liked Zhao Linlin, and no one could see her. Nowâ¦
She had already gotten into another city to go to university. Why was Zhao Linlin still trying to snatch the person she liked?
Jiang Xianyou had never said a word to her properly. Even though he had also come to her house as a guest this time, he was actually chatting so happily with Zhao Linlin now!
The road was very bumpy and the sound of the tricycleâs engine was very loud. Mo Qian couldnât hear what they were saying at all. She only saw Jiang Xianyou lowering his head and talking to Zhao Linlin with a gentle gaze. She felt that they were chatting happily.
In fact, they only said two sentences.
Yan Jinyu glanced at Zhao Linlin and Jiang Xianyou before glancing at Mo Qian and retracting her gaze calmly.
She continued to look at the scenery.
The sun was setting in the forest in the mountains.
The scenery was very beautiful. She felt a little regretful that she didnât bring Yin Jiujin along to see such beautiful scenery.
Yes, she missed Yin Jiujin.
On the first day she left the capital.
