âYeah, if I say that, my mom will drop the matter.â
Fu Tingyan didnât know what to say.
âWhatâs wrong? My mom wonât scold you. So what are you afraid of?â
âWe grew up together, and everyone thought that we were brothers. Are you saying that we got into a fight?â
Fu Tingyan chuckled. âYour mom will think that something big happened. Iâm sure that my grandma already knows about this.â
âIt canât be that serious...â
He was just making up an excuse.
As soon as Jiang Yu said that, Fu Tingyanâs phone rang.
Fu Tingyan took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He showed it to Jiang Yu and walked out with his phone.
Jiang Yu was stunned. Jing Tingyuâs grandma sure was quick to act.
Fu Tingyan stood in the hall. His figure was tall and lean.
The old madamâs deep and sincere voice rang in his ears.
âYan, youâre older than Yu by a month. Youâre an older brother. Canât you just let Yu do what he wants? Today, Yuâs mother came to apologize. She asked for you to forgive Yu. Sometimes, Yu can be a little square with his words, but you guys are so close. It would be to no oneâs benefit if you make things awkward between you. Just forgive him...â
Fu Tingyan lifted his hand and massaged his aching head. After listening to his grandmotherâs sincere words, he said, âGrandma, donât worry. Yu and I were just playing around. Weâre fine now.â
âReally?â
âOf course.â
Fu Tingyan reassured his grandmother again and again. Only then did his grandmother hang up the phone.
Fu Tingyu heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the classroom.
Jiang Yu hurriedly asked, âWhat did your grandma say?â
âWhat do you think?â
âIâll explain it to my mom later. Iâll say that we were playing around and that weâre all good now.â
This was proof that the two of them had indeed grown up together. The excuse they thought of was the same.
Fu Tingyan and Jiang Yu fought when they were younger, but it was mostly them fooling around. Theyâd never seriously fought. Their friendship was very strong.

After lunch
Qin Shu and Ye Xue walked out of the cafeteria. They saw Fu Tingyana and Jiang Yu when they passed by the track.
Qin Shu elbowed Ye Xueâs arm and remind her saying: âDidnât you want to ask Jiang Yu about his injuries. You can go now.â
Ye Xue also saw the Jiang Yu on the track. She hesitated.
Qin Shu saw her hesitation and encouraged, âJiang Yu is different from other rich kids who value looks, but sometimes he is a little square with his speech Go ahead, Iâll sit here and wait for you.â
Ye Xue glanced at Qin Shu. She clutched her shirt. After thinking for a while, she walked over.
After Ye Xue Left, Qin Shu sat on the stone steps under the shade and waited. It was a pity that she didnât bring her laptop, otherwise, she could have worked on the questions assigned by the young professor.
âSheâs the girl who got the guarantee admission?â
A gentle and soft male voice came from behind Shu Qin. The voice sounded familiar to her.
Qin Shu wanted to verify her suspicions. She turned her head around and saw Jun Li standing behind her. When Qin Shu looked at Jun Li from this angle, she noticed that he had a slender and straight figure, a thin and pointy chin, excessively fair skin, and a sickly tired expression on his face. His appearance made oneâs heart ache for him.
Jun Li took two steps forward, and he sat on the step less than a meter away from Qin Shu.
He spread his legs and placed his hands on his knees. He glanced at Ye Xue, who was walking towards the track.
Qin Shu said, âHer academics are pretty good. It wonât be a problem for her to get into Imperial College. With the guaranteed admission, she has an extra layer of security.â
Jun Li retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Shu. He asked, âWhat do you think of the flowers of Mount Qi?â
Qin Shu froze for a few seconds. Her stary eyes were filled with confusion. âThe flowers of Mount Qi?â
