Chapter 19 Lin Jingyang
Mission three, conquer Lin Jingyang.
This was one of the tasks assigned to Yan Sui by the system after she signed the contract with the system.
Mission 1: Save family tragedy.
Task two, stay away from Yu Shuli.
Mission three, conquer Lin Jingyang.
But the name Lin Jingyang was a very unfamiliar one to Yan Sui.
She didn't even know why she had a connection with this person, and was asked by the system to conquer him as a conqueror.
She had asked the system why it chose this completely unfamiliar boy.
But the system didn't reveal too much to her, only saying "I did this all for the host" and then lightly brushed off the topic.
Seeing that the system refused to speak, Yan Sui had to give up asking it for clues about the third task.

On Wednesday, Yan Sui and Chen Ling were reciting the text to each other in their seats when the head teacher suddenly walked into the classroom from the back door and asked Yan Sui and her to go out.
During the break, most of the students in the key classes stayed in the classroom to study. When the head teacher took Yan Sui out through the back door, she only attracted the attention of a few students in the back row, but they only glanced at them curiously and then didn't look at them again.
After leaving the classroom, the homeroom teacher asked directly, "I just heard from the senior year director that you were bullied at the school gate last week by the senior year student who had previously caused trouble for you in your designated area."
Yan Sui was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Yes, teacher, I went back to school to ask for help immediately. But you were already off work, so I went with another classmate to the senior year group to find their head teacher."
"Are you hurt?"
"I didn't, but another student was slightly injured."
"The other student is from the science class, right?"
"yes."
"Is that the student Wen Qingman mentioned last time who helped you out in the responsible area?"
During the incident in the contracted area, Yan Sui immediately took Wen Qingman to find their class teacher to report the incident, and Wen Qingman also told him about Yu Shuli's rescue.
The homeroom teacher immediately noted down all the details and reported them to the school. Yan Sui and Wen Qingman were informed of their punishments before Monday's morning meeting. At the meeting, the principal publicly announced the punishments for several students from the podium. Most of the punishments were escalated, but a few with more severe penalties were taken home by their parents for further education.
Lin Jingchen, who surrounded Ren Yusu in the alley last time, was one of them.
Yan Sui nodded again.
The homeroom teacher sighed. "Why didn't you tell me about this when you returned to school? Your second year of high school is already a critical period for you. What if these things keep bothering you and delaying your studies?"
There was tenderness in the head teacher's eyes. Yan Sui noticed this emotion and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.
In her previous life, her family encountered an unexpected change, and it was their class teacher who had been helping her. He also talked to her privately many times, hoping that she would not let these things affect her future.
Even though she was later transferred to Class 2 of the Liberal Arts Department because of her declining grades, she would often send her the test papers she had made for Class 1, telling her not to give up studying and to work hard to get back into Class 1.
However, she had neglected too much study due to family matters. Even though she had used all her free time to study, she was still unable to bring her grades back to the first-class score line and return to the first class.
Even in the final college entrance examination, he performed poorly and did not get into the school he had hoped for.
Thinking of this, Yan Sui couldn't help feeling guilty towards the teacher who had always helped her.
However, school bullying has always been a topic that is not taken seriously and is difficult to overcome.
As a teacher, how could she not know the family backgrounds of those students?
But she had no other choice.
"The head teacher of the senior year told me that the parents of the student who surrounded you have arrived. Your parents should have been in charge of negotiating with the other party, but I only found out about this at the last minute and didn't have time to notify your parents, so I wanted to come and see how you're doing first."
Yan Sui shook her head: "No need, teacher, I'm not injured, there's no need to look for my parents."
The head teacher frowned: "How can that be? How can we not tell the parents about this kind of thing?"
Yan Sui didn't want Sui Yuling to know about this, so she lied and said, "Something happened at home recently, and it's quite troublesome. My parents can't leave to deal with it. Fortunately, I'm not injured, so I can handle this matter myself."
Seeing that Yan Sui refused to invite her parents, the head teacher had to give up and comforted her with a few words before leaving.
After the head teacher left, the system appeared in her mind again: "Host, why don't you ask which office the other party's parents are in?"
Yan Sui lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes blocking most of her vision, as if trying to hide something. "Asking this will make the teacher suspicious."
The system fell silent.
Yan Sui felt her heart beating faster and she slowly exhaled to calm it down, but she didn't know if it was the psychological tension or something else that made her heart beat even faster.
She waited silently, without saying a word, afraid that the system would see through her thoughts.
but......
"Host, there is no use in running away."
"You have already started this quest line."
Still no use.
—
Yan Sui didn't understand the meaning of the system's words at first.
It was not until the history class was over that the head teacher came to the class again and took Yan Sui out of the classroom.
Since there was no one around, the head teacher spoke softly, "That student's parents want to apologize to you in person."
Yan Sui: “…”
She finally understood what the system meant by "you can't escape."
It was just an apology, but Yan Sui didn't really need it. After all, the other party hadn't done her any real harm. Compared to her, Yu Shuli, with all his injuries, needed an apology more.
But Yansui knew that even if she refused to go, the person she had to face would always show up.
After all, she has already started the third quest line.
It's not something she can escape from just because she wants to.
.
Yan Sui followed the head teacher to the senior year group's office. As soon as the door was opened, everyone in the office turned around.
Yu Shuli was standing next to a young couple. The scabs on the wounds on his face had not fallen off yet. The black scabs on his handsome face made him look more pitiful.
Yan Sui knew Yu Shuli's brother and sister-in-law. The four of them had eaten together in college.
In his previous life, Yu Shuli confessed to her the complicated situation in his family. His parents divorced, and both found new lovers, leaving him to his brother who was fifteen years older than him.
He was only five years old when his parents divorced. Twenty-two-year-old Yu Shufeng was forced to take over this unwanted burden from his parents.
When Yu Shuli was seven years old, Yu Shufeng was twenty-four years old. After his job became stable, he married Zhu Yue, his girlfriend whom he had fallen in love with since school.
Yu Shuli said that his brother and sister-in-law raised him together, just like his parents. His sister-in-law never hesitated to show her love for him and took care of him as if he were her own child. From childhood to adulthood, his brother and sister-in-law were always there for him.
The love that was abandoned by his parents was picked up again by his brother and sister-in-law and returned to him.
In the office, apart from Yu Shuli's brother and sister-in-law, Yu Shuli, the grade director, and the boy who beat Yu Shuli, the only person left was the man sitting opposite them.
The man had long brow ridges and a pair of half-framed black glasses perched on his high nose. He leaned halfway against the back of his chair, his posture slightly tilted, yet not slouched. The sleeves of his pure black shirt were folded down to his forearms, revealing a section of his veiny forearms.
The look on his face when he looked at her was peaceful and indifferent. Yan Sui could not see any emotion on his face that was unrelated to the matter.
Just looking at his appearance...
Yan Sui didn't quite understand why the system would assign her such a target, as the other person was obviously not in the same age group as her.
After her rebirth, the environment she was in made her interact with students of the same age as her. They had not yet lost the immaturity of their student days and were completely different from the people she had met after years of struggling in society.
All her work and interpersonal relationships were related to students in high school and college.
When she met a person of the opposite sex who was not a high school student, Yan Sui suddenly didn’t know how to complete the task.
As if sensing her emotional fluctuations, the system jumped out more actively than ever before: "Host, just carry out the strategy mission according to the plan. Don't feel any burden."
As the mechanical voice fell, the system paused and added, "You were already nearly thirty years old before you were reborn."
The system deliberately emphasized the syllables of the word "thirty", as if to remind her not to be burdened by her age.
Yan Sui was speechless for a moment.
.
Seeing Yan Sui standing there for a long time without moving, the head teacher thought she was a little nervous in front of Lin Jingchen and his parents, so he stepped forward to smooth things over: "Don't be afraid, Yan Sui. This is Lin Jingchen's brother. He's here because Lin Jingchen blocked you and Yu Shuli outside the school. He said he wanted Lin Jingchen to apologize to you and Yu Shuli in person, so I called you over."
As soon as he finished speaking, the head teacher of the grade immediately gave a wink to Yan Sui's head teacher.
The head teacher understood what she meant and gently placed her warm palm on Yan Sui's shoulder, as if to give her strength: "Let's go, Yan Sui."
Yan Sui pursed her lips and followed the head teacher into the office.
Yu Shuli's gaze had been following her since she entered the office, until she stood in front of him, raised her eyes, and her gaze met his.
Although it was only for a moment and Yan Sui looked away, Yu Shuli was still excited because of this brief eye contact.
.
"Since Yan Sui is here, I'll make a brief introduction for each other. This is Yan Sui, one of the parties involved in this incident, and this is Lin Jingchen's brother, Lin Jingyang."
After the director finished his introduction, Lin Jingyang stood up from his chair and took a step towards Yan Sui with his leather shoes.
Yan Sui immediately held her breath. Although she knew that the other party would not do anything to her in front of so many people, she still felt a little nervous under the pressure of the other party's aura.
She stared at the person in front of her without blinking, always on guard against his actions.
Unexpectedly, the man only took two steps towards her and stopped when his body was half a meter away from her.
The next second, a hand with a watch on its wrist fell in front of her——
"Mr. Yansui."
