The moment Jiang Manyue saw Lu Lin, her heartbeat accelerated and cold sweat broke out on her palms.

The aunt just said that he was watching from the top of the wall, so did he see what he just did?

"Hey, who are you? How did you get out of this yard?"

When the aunt saw Jiang Manyue coming out of the yard, she was a little confused. Isn't there anyone living in this yard? How could someone suddenly appear?

Jiang Manyue was very flustered, but she still explained, "I rented this yard, but something delayed me, so I can't move in for the time being."

The aunt said "Oh", which seemed to indicate that she accepted the explanation. She then pointed at Lu Lin and said, "Little girl, this person is lying on the wall of your house and looking inside. I don't know what he is doing. You should be careful."

Jiang Manyue quickly thanked her, "Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I will pay attention to it. I will handle this person. I won't bother you anymore."

The aunt looked at Lu Lin strangely, then at Jiang Manyue, but in the end she said nothing and left.

Lu Lin looked a little embarrassed. Jiang Manyue wiped the cold sweat from her palms and wanted to ask him why he was here, but then she thought that she was disguised. What if Lu Lin didn't recognize her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Manyue pretended not to know Lu Lin and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you, and why are you peeking here?"

Jiang Manyue's breathing was a little disordered and her voice was a little trembling, obviously showing that she was very nervous.

Lu Lin just stared at her without saying a word, which made Jiang Manyue feel even more guilty, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

"Jiang Manyue, come back with me and talk. It's not convenient here. If someone hears us, we'll both be finished."

Jiang Manyue felt a chill in her heart. It was over. Lu Lin recognized her, and since he said so, he must have seen her!

After saying that, Lu Lin walked forward first. Jiang Manyue had no choice but to lock the gate and hurriedly followed him out.

Lu Lin led her around to the entrance of the black market and pointed to the place where she hid and went into the space to change clothes. "Go change your clothes and take out your bicycle."

Jiang Manyue became even more panicked. She didn't expect that Lu Lin had followed her all the way here, and she had no idea!

Under Lu Lin's gaze, Jiang Manyue had no choice but to go inside, change back into her original clothes as quickly as possible, and came out pushing her bicycle.

When Lu Lin saw her coming out, he turned around and left without saying anything. Jiang Manyue was so panicked that she followed him as if she was going to the execution ground.

Passing by the state-owned butcher shop, Lu Lin stopped again, took out the money and tickets from his pocket and bought a pound of pork.

"You said you came to buy meat, but if you don't bring any meat back, Mom will ask you."

Lu Lin put the meat into Jiang Manyue's basket, took the basket directly, and strode forward silently.

Jiang Manyue followed behind pushing her bicycle, thinking about how to explain, and before she knew it, she had arrived home.

When they got home, Li Guifen was surprised to see them coming back together. "Alin, why are you back with Man Yue? Didn't you go to work?"

Lu Lin handed the basket to Li Guifen, "Mom, Manyue and I have something to talk about. I'm going back to the house first."

Li Guifen noticed Jiang Manyue behind him with a bad face and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Manyue? Why does she look so bad? Are you bullying Manyue?"

Lu Lin shook his head at her, then took Jiang Manyue's arm and went into the house.

Li Guifen was a little worried, but it was not appropriate for her to listen to the young couple's private conversation, so she took the pork to the well to wash it.

After closing the door, Lu Lin lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on with those boxes that appeared out of thin air?"

Jiang Manyue's heart trembled. She was indeed discovered.

But she still wanted to make a last-ditch effort and insist that it didn't happen.

"You must have seen it wrong. There's no such thing as a box that appeared out of thin air. It was already in the room."

Lu Lin pointed to his eyes and said, "I have the best eyesight in the entire regiment, and I'm a scout. Do you think I can't see clearly whether the shoebox was already in the room or just appeared out of thin air?"

Jiang Manyue still insisted that this did not happen and would not admit it even if she was beaten to death.

Lu Lin was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, if you don't admit it, then I ask you, what on earth are you?"

Jiang Manyue's body suddenly stiffened, and after several seconds she pretended to be calm and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Lu Lin suddenly grabbed her face and said, "This look is indeed Jiang Manyue's, but you are not Jiang Manyue at all. What on earth are you? A wild monster? Or...?"

Jiang Manyue's pupils constricted and her body trembled slightly, but she still clenched her teeth and said, "I don't understand what you are saying. I am Jiang Manyue."

Lu Lin sneered, "The original Jiang Manyue didn't talk like that, and she certainly didn't have the ability to conjure up a bunch of boxes out of thin air."

Jiang Manyue realized it too late. She was so flustered that she forgot to imitate the original Jiang Manyue's speaking habits and accent.

Knowing that she had been completely exposed, Jiang Manyue had no choice but to give up.

In this era, even if Lu Lin guessed that he was not Jiang Manyue, but the soul that occupied Jiang Manyue's body, he would not dare to tell anyone.

Moreover, no one would believe such weird and superstitious words even if he said them.

"You guessed right. I'm not the original Jiang Manyue. But so what? Now I am Jiang Manyue. Everyone thinks I'm a good person. Are you going to expose me? Will others believe it? How dare you, a soldier, say such weird things?"

Jiang Manyue was certain that Lu Lin would not reveal her secret, so she no longer felt guilty in front of him and instead admitted it generously.

"You are not that Jiang Manyue, so I felt something was wrong the first time I saw you."

Lu Lin withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Manyue again. "So what are you? A mountain monster?"

Jiang Manyue looked nonchalant. "I am whatever you think I am. Anyway, I am Jiang Manyue now. It doesn't matter what I was before."

Lu Lin looked at her, his expression becoming inexplicable. "What are you going to do with Jiang Manyue's identity?"

Jiang Manyue looked up at him, not afraid at all. "I want to be the best Jiang Manyue. I want to make money and live a good life. I want to go to college. I want to serve my country and witness its development."

Lu Lin shook his head. "You can't get into university. You can't go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Even if you are a military family member, you don't have the qualifications to enroll."

Because Jiang Manyu didn't get into high school or technical secondary school after graduating from junior high school, and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University requires only high school students to attend.

"Who said I want to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? You said I'm a mountain spirit, so I must have some special abilities. I might as well tell you that the college entrance examination will definitely be restored, and I will pass it, get into university, and change my life."

Jiang Manyue openly expressed her idea of taking the college entrance examination, and also told Lu Lin that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the future. As for why she knew this, she simply followed Lu Lin's guess that she was a monster and portrayed herself as a monster with special abilities.
