The driver first dropped Zhao Linlin off at her school. After spending a day with everyone, Zhao Linlin didn’t want to go back to school at all.
"I don’t want to leave you all."
"We don’t want to leave you either, but when it’s ti for school, you should go. Be good, okay?"
Zhao Linlin pouted her lips, looking at the three, "When I get back, I’m going to tell my dad that I want to transfer schools."
Jian Dan couldn’t help but laugh, "There are so many weekends, we’ll still have chances to et. It’s not like we won’t see each other again. Don’t you know ’far perfu, near sll’? But if you can transfer, we would welco you too. You decide."
"I knew it, you guys can’t bear to let go."
The three of them: "..."
They really didn’t say anything. It was purely Zhao Linlin being narcissistic.
After saying goodbye, the three went back to school. As soon as they entered the school gate, Jian Dan was stopped. The person who stopped her was Lin Chengyu. It had been a long ti since they last t, and Lin Chengyu seed a lot more annoying. He looked at Jian Dan, "Can we talk for a minute?"
Jian Dan frowned, "Weiwei and Lulu are my friends. There’s nothing they can’t hear. Whatever you want to say, don’t mind us listening in. I don’t mind."
Lin Chengyu seed a bit embarrassed and appeared to be thinking about Jian Dan’s suggestion. After a while, he said lightly, "Okay then, I’d like to invite you to my birthday party at my house this weekend. Are you free?"
Jian Dan couldn’t understand why a kid was hosting a birthday party; it’s not like he was coming of age. Wasn’t this superfluous?
The Lin family certainly had the ans, but was there really a need for such extravagance?
Still, Lin Chengyu seed to think...
Forget it. She couldn’t find a more fitting word at the mont, so Xiaoxiao smiled, "My friends can co too, right?"
Lin Chengyu nodded, "Of course, as long as you ask."
Jian Dan was really speechless. What did he an ’as long as she asked’? Even if she asked, it still depended on Lin Chengyu, the host, to agree. What was he implying? Open ambiguity?
This was a bit awkward.
Jian Dan’s discomfort was evident to Lai Wei and Mi Lu, who both wanted to help her out, but found no appropriate opportunity with Lin Chengyu’s puzzling remark.
Lin Chengyu also felt awkward. He had thought before that Jian Dan was easy to manipulate, and that connecting with the Bo Family would offer many opportunities to advance in the future. However, after actually interacting with Jian Dan, he realized she was not easy to deal with.
Nor was she soone he could easily seduce.
Maintaining a necessary distance was the safest approach for his own sake.
But the thoughts of young people, though not profound, are still unpredictable. He didn’t want to like Jian Dan, but loving soone isn’t sothing one can control, is it?
If love could be controlled, that would really not be human.
The academic pressures of second year were heavy. Jian Dan and Mi Lu were dragged to the library daily by Lai Wei, a legitimate top student who had already mastered the entire curriculum of the third year on his own and forced them to learn as well.
Neither of them were fools; with the right guidance, they picked things up very quickly.
But enjoying complaining without cause, didn’t Lai Wei know their nature already?
Under a heavier revision schedule, they beca obedient.
During the weekend when Jian Dan returned ho, Ms. Li had already swapped rest tis with Mrs. Lin. Ms. Li told her that Bo Qin wouldn’t be coming ho for dinner tonight, it seed he had so social engagent or sothing, and he probably wouldn’t be ho all weekend.
Jian Dan didn’t mind.
Mu Qing ca over for a al and didn’t see anything unusual. The pressures from school were fully released by indulging in delicious food, and she sent a ssage to Bo Qin.
It included a photo.
[Uncle Qin, you’re missing out. The stead pork ribs Ms. Li made are especially delicious. I helped you eat them.]
At that ti, Bo Qin wasn’t at the company but in his apartnt. He didn’t believe that Secretary Zhou’s previous judgnt had evidence, but as Secretary Zhou said, for a man like him, attracting a young girl with a budding heart was too easy.
In every aspect, it was enough to make one deeply involved.
He really did need to keep his distance from Jian Dan and not get too close, to avoid influencing her.
When he received Jian Dan’s ssage, he was in quite a good mood, clutching his phone, imagining the young girl’s face on the other end, and couldn’t help but let his lips curl up slightly in response [Hmm, then help eat more, take good care of yourself at ho, rest well, eat well.]
[Hmm, Uncle Qin, you shouldn’t get too busy either. Work is never finished; don’t get too tired.]
Bo Qin chuckled and stared at his phone for a while, then didn’t reply.
