The ground was still wet after the rain. Looking at her reflection in the water, Cangyue sighed helplessly.

They had been staring at the only exit for almost five hours. Most of the thirty-odd people had already left, leaving only Cang Yue, Hu Yingying, Bai Zhi, and Ouyang Qian.

"That's strange, why haven't they come back yet?" Hu Yingying asked in confusion.

"Could she have come back but we didn't see her?" Bai Zhi guessed.

"Impossible! With so many eyes watching, how could we not have seen it!" Hu Yingying exclaimed.

"Come and see!" Ouyang Qian suddenly called out to the group.

The three walked over upon hearing the sound, and Cang Yue asked in confusion, "Did you find something?"

Ouyang Qian pointed to the notice board and said, "This has Instructor Lin's phone number, the location of her office and room. Let's just go find her directly."

"Find...find her?" Cang Yue frowned. "Isn't that a bad idea?"

"What are you afraid of? Let's confront her face to face and see what she has to say!" Hu Yingying said.

"Yes, that's right! Let's go! We'll go find her ourselves!"

Bai Zhi led the way, and the group headed towards Lin Qianmo's room.

—After leaving the classroom, Lin Qianmo could no longer hold on and staggered back to her room, collapsing onto her bed.

"This is exhausting!" Lin Qianmo rubbed her head, startled by the burning heat. "I didn't expect to have a fever. Sigh, I guess I'm really getting old!"

Her mouth was dry, and her throat hurt terribly, even though she had been shouting with Cang Yue and the others all morning.

They prepared ginger soup for them, but forgot that they should also have a bowl themselves.

"If Cangyue saw me like this, she would feel so relieved!"

Lin Qianmo smiled bitterly, sighed deeply, and drifted off to sleep in bed, until—

Bang bang bang—

Hu Yingying pounded on the door without any politeness. "How strange, is no one home?"

"Never mind, she might not be back yet. Let's go first." Cang Yue frowned, somewhat displeased with Hu Yingying's rudeness.

With her hands on her hips and a stubborn look on her face, Hu Yingying said, "No, we have to wait for her to come back today and find out the truth, otherwise I'll go directly to the higher-ups to report her!"

The words had barely left her lips when the door suddenly opened, revealing Lin Qianmo dressed in white pajamas, looking at the people standing in the doorway with interest.

"Oh? Really? I didn't know you hated me that much!"

Hu Yingying was startled and quickly retreated to the back, lowering her head and not daring to look at Lin Qianmo.

Ouyang Qian was the first to greet him, sweetly saying, "Good afternoon, Instructor Lin."

Lin Qianmo smiled slightly and nodded. "Good afternoon. How come you have so much energy? Why are you running around instead of resting?"

Cang Yue frowned as she looked at Lin Qianmo. "We're here to ask Instructor Lin why all the other classes are having classes, but our class is on holiday?"

Upon hearing Cang Yue's words, Lin Qianmo immediately realized what was going on and couldn't help but smile and say, "Your physical fitness test this morning has completed the afternoon's classes, so I'm giving you a day off. The afternoon is your free time, and you can rest in your dormitories."

Upon hearing Lin Qianmo's words, Bai Zhi blurted out, "What? Isn't it because of Valentine's Day?"

Lin Qianmo looked at everyone in confusion, "Is today Valentine's Day?"

Everyone was speechless. It turned out that Instructor Lin was still single and didn't celebrate Valentine's Day at all!

"Is there anything else?" Lin Qianmo asked, looking at the silent group.

"Uh...that's all." Bai Zhi looked at Lin Qianmo apologetically.

Ouyang Qian smiled and secretly glanced at Lin Qianmo: Sure enough, her judgment was right!

Lin Qianmo looked at Cang Yue and said calmly, "As the class monitor, you must set an example and never do anything against the rules."

Cang Yue replied irritably, "I know!"

Seeing that Lin Qianmo didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, the group said goodbye and slunk away.

Watching Cang Yue and the others leave, Lin Qianmo finally couldn't help but cough, "Cough cough... These guys are really a handful..."

Cang Yue walked at the back. With her keen senses, she heard Lin Qianmo cough and subconsciously turned her head.

"Cangyue, what's wrong?" Baizhi asked, looking at Cangyue who was standing still.

Cang Yue shook her head. "It's nothing..."

Perhaps I misheard—

On the other hand, after Lu Rui finished dealing with his family affairs, the Wang family booked a restaurant to host a banquet for the Lu and Li families.

"Xiao Rui, let's go have a meal together." Wang Xueting hurriedly called out to Lu Rui when she saw him preparing to leave.

Lu Rui refused outright, "No need, my friends are still waiting for me, I'll go back and eat with them."

At this point, Lu Rui suddenly remembered something, "Right, where is my cousin Xuesong?"

Upon hearing Lu Rui's question, Wang Xueting's expression changed slightly, and she awkwardly replied, "My younger brother has exams coming up soon, so I didn't inform him—"

Lu Rui frowned. "What do you mean? Is it the middle school entrance exam, the college entrance exam, or the university graduation exam? Why can't we let him come back to see his grandmother off on her final journey?"

"It's Cedar's advanced exam; you know, this is his last chance..."

"Last chance? Ha, sister, do you think I didn't go to college? As long as you're willing to learn, there's no such thing as a last chance!"

Lu Rui shouted loudly, "You two were raised by your grandmother since you were little. Your grandmother, who is over sixty years old, stayed up all night every day to feed you young and ignorant babies formula. Don't you know that, or does Wang Xuesong not know that? Even your mother dislikes how you poop and pee. Is this how you treat your grandmother? Fine! That's really fine!"

Wang Xueting's face darkened, and she finally couldn't help but speak up, "Lu Rui, you just need to understand one thing: she is my Wang family's adopted grandmother. Your Lu family has no right to speak here!"
