Chapter 100



100 Final Examination

“Can you be friends with me?” Gong Ze mustered his courage, but he still did not dare to say girlfriend.

“Huh?” Lin Yin was stunned by his question. Looking at the red face of the young man in front of her, she understood.

Lin Yin had no intention of putting her mind on her personal feelings. Besides, Gong Ze was just a child who had just reached adulthood in her eyes.

“Sure, aren’t we already friends? Just like Lu Yan and Yang Xue.”

Hearing Lin Yin’s words, Gong Ze didn’t know if he should be happy or sad. He scratched his head helplessly and said to Lin Yin, “In the future, if anyone causes trouble for you in school, they’re causing trouble for me. If anything happens, I’ll protect you.”

Looking at the sincere gaze of the young man in front of her, Lin Yin’s heart surged with warmth. In this life, she had many people who cared about her. Lu Yan, Yang Xue, Mu Ran, Gong Ze, and Lu Ming… All of them had helped her before. Lin Yin felt the warmth of being taken care of.

“Thank you.” Lin Yin’s eyes were very clear. When Gong Ze saw Lin Yin’s expression, he calmed down a lot. The girl in front of him was very beautiful. Even if they were friends, Gong Ze hoped that she could be happy.

Time passed quickly. Lin Yin had always been very concerned about Lu Yan’s matters. Every day, she would go to Shenglin Bay to tutor Lu Yan after school.

“Teacher Lin, please let me rest.”

After Lu Yan finished the seventh set of papers, she finally collapsed on the table.

“Tomorrow is the final exam. These are all the common questions I’ve sorted out. There’s a high chance that it will be tested tomorrow. You have to be familiar with them.”

Lin Yin was actually very satisfied with Lu Yan’s learning ability, but she hoped that Lu Yan’s results could be higher.

“Okay!” Lu Yan sighed and got up again. She saw that Lin Yin had prepared so much for her and she didn’t want to be a burden.

The two of them did their test papers until late at night.

“Have they been doing questions?” As soon as Lu Ming returned to Shenglin Bay, he saw the two little girls who had fallen asleep on the table.

“That’s right. They even ate there. Miss Lin is very concerned about Second Miss’s studies.” Aunt Song lowered her voice, not wanting to disturb the two young ladies.

Lu Ming looked at the two of them sleeping soundly and waved at Shen Yu. He said softly, “Send Second Miss to the guest room to rest.”

Shen Yu nodded and walked forward to carry Lu Yan to the room on the second floor.

Lu Ming looked at Lin Yin, who was lying on the table, and didn’t know if he should wake her up. After thinking for a while, Lu Ming carried Lin Yin to the sofa at the side and bent down to cover her with a blanket. Lin Yin’s eyes suddenly opened.

Lin Yin, who had just woken up, opened her eyes and saw Lu Ming’s enlarged face in front of her. She took a deep breath and her pupils constricted slightly. She slowly calmed down after realizing that Lu Ming had covered her with a blanket.

“I…” Lu Ming was also a little nervous. He took a step back and explained, “I saw that you were asleep and was afraid that you would catch a cold.”

Lin Yin nodded awkwardly. “Thank you, Uncle.”

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little quiet. Lu Ming coughed lightly and said, “Thank you for being so concerned about Little Yan.”

“She’s my friend. It’s only right.” Lin Yin’s expression had already returned to normal. Thinking of her investigation of Lu Yan’s past these few days, Lin Yin looked up and asked Lu Ming, “Uncle, can you tell me about Lu Yan’s Brother and Sister?”

Lu Ming calmed down a little and sat opposite Lin Yin. He said, “Lu Xiao and Lu Yue are my oldest brother’s children. After they left the old residence, they stopped contacting each other. Did anything happen between them and Lu Yan?”

Lin Yin nodded and said to Lu Ming, “I asked about them in front of Lu Yan. At that time, Lu Yan’s expression was very bad. Something very unpleasant must have happened with them.”

“The time when Lu Yan changed drastically was when she was separated from them.” Lin Yin could tell that Lu Yan was very hostile to this pair of twins.

Lu Ming was the most capable person in their generation. Everyone valued him very much. Whether they were really satisfied or not, no one dared to offend Lu Ming. Therefore, Lu Ming had never cared much about the Lu Family.

Hearing Lin Yin’s words, Lu Ming recalled the tense relationship between his eldest brother and second brother. He just did not expect it to affect Lu Yan.

“You can ask Aunt Song about what happened at the Lu Family’s old residence. I don’t stay at home much, so she’ll know better.” Lu Ming was inexplicably at ease with the girl in front of him. He felt that she had the ability to see through people.

“Okay, I understand.” Lin Yin nodded. She had a rough idea. Lu Yan had received a lot of preferential treatment because of the Lu Family’s snobbery, but she probably received more than that.
