For the fourth ti, Lin Chu skipped class with a clear conscience, unlike the previous reasons.
Because, because today is her future husband’s birthday!
If she doesn’t show her affection now, when should she?
During morning self-study, most of the seniors had their heads down, as if fishing, even the teacher who had just been passionately inspiring students to fight hard was yawning one after another.
Seizing the mont when the teacher covered his mouth and turned away to yawn, Lin Chu followed Jiang Muzhou closely and swiftly slipped out from the back door of the classroom.
Familiar with the routes to evade capture, she ran to the bike shed behind the teaching building.
Lin Chu bent over, panting, "I can’t do it, I can’t do it, let’s rest for a bit!"
She was exhausted, but Jiang Muzhou was perfectly fine, not even out of breath, lazily sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, flipping a middle finger to express his disdain for Lin, "I think Sister Daiyu is stronger than you."
Lin Chu couldn’t be bothered to kick him.
She had already been sternly warned by Mr. Lin that if she got caught skipping class today, she’d be in big trouble. Running from the seventh floor to the parking shed, how could she not be tired?
After catching her breath, Lin Chu called her good friend Ji Wanxia, "Wanwan, Zhouzhou and I are in the bike shed downstairs, how much longer will you be?"
On the other end of the call, Wanxia was still at ho. She gently closed the bedroom door and apologized, "I’m sorry Xiao Chu, I can’t accompany you this morning. How about we et directly at An University’s entrance in the afternoon after you finish the cake?"
Lin Chu frowned a bit, "Do you have sothing to do?"
"My brother has a fever, and Grandpa is not at ho."
Hearing this, Lin Chu was relieved because for Ji Wanxia, no one is more important than her brother.
"Alright, alright, look after Brother Ji first, call when you’re done."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Muzhou, with a roguish swagger, raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong, got stood up?"
Lin Chu was now very glad she didn’t kick him earlier, forcing a grin as fake as it gets, she cozied up to him, "Big brother, your little brother has a small request."
Big brother squinted his eyes, smirking as he looked at her, "Speak."
Let him think, wasn’t she the one who glared at him earlier...
"Can you lend so money?"
Lin’s recent performance was so poor that her dad confiscated all her bank cards, now she’s penniless.
She’s been relying on Ji Wanxia to help her out, the cake money hasn’t been paid, and she forgot to bring it up during the call.
Jiang Muzhou seed to have anticipated this, taking out his wallet and teasingly waving it in front of Lin Chu like he was playing with a puppy.
Smiling smugly, "No problem lending you money, but you’ve got to do my howork for this week."
Lin Chu could almost hear herself grinding her teeth, "Deal."
For the sake of the birthday cake, she could swallow her pride.
Hmm, it’s just one week, not too much, her hand won’t be crippled.

When irritated, tobacco cald him down.
Adults don’t have such restrictions, after all, Gu Shaozhi smoked too, he couldn’t be hypocritical, "Of course you can."
Just before getting out, Gu Shaozhi noticed soone through the cake shop’s glass window.
With one foot on the ground, he pushed Lu Huai’an in the driver’s seat with his empty hand, the latter turned his head, following his gaze.
