Chapter 331 Good News
"You really don't like me at all?"
The confessions in the alley continue.
The girl pursued him relentlessly, perhaps because her secret crush had been hidden for too long. Finally, she got the chance to open her heart to the person she liked, and once she started talking, she couldn't stop.
Even after being politely rejected, I don't want to give up and want to try again. I want a clear and understandable reason.
"You won't give me a chance. Is it because you already have someone you like? Or... do you hate me?"
He finally looked at the girl seriously for a moment, but only for a moment before his gaze fell elsewhere.
"If you don't like something, you naturally won't dislike it."
Because he never liked it, he didn't hate it either; even its appearance was a luxury in his eyes.
The girl was heartbroken; her shoulders trembled slightly, and the book fell to the ground.
The wind blows open the pages, revealing pages of hard work.
He picked them up and returned them all, saying, "Life is long; one should learn as long as one lives."
A genius is a genius; even his words are profound and insightful, and his refusal is polite and measured.
The girl accepted the book with both hands, thanked him while suppressing her sadness, and left dejectedly.
Bai Lu couldn't help but sigh.
The college entrance examination is over, and it's time to return Lin Jinfan's books.
If they don't return it soon, it might disappear someday.
Every time she read at home, Xiao Cheng's casual glances seemed to spit fire.
Especially her hand holding the book, it looked like she was holding a hot potato, roasting it over a fire.
This forced her to go back to her room to look at the flowers. Fortunately, there were roses outside her window, so she could look at the flowers to relax when she got tired of reading.
When you're too engrossed in thinking, you're easily distracted and don't notice where you're going. Bai Lu was caught red-handed as soon as she turned around.
"Cough..." cough: "Brother Jinfan, what are you doing here? I was just passing by, I didn't see anything."
This explanation seems unclear enough; we need to go a step further: "I was clearing land at home to farm, and I went to the market to buy vegetable seeds. I was just coming back and passing by here when you came out."
Lin Jinfan believed Bai Lu's words and looked at her empty hands: "Where are your vegetable seeds?"
Bai Lu: "..."
"...Isn't it in my hands?"
Bai Lu looked down.
There was nothing on the ground.
I stretched out my hands and looked at them again, turning them over and over, and was stunned by the sight of my white hands for the first time.
Where are the vegetable seeds?!
I was just reading gossip!
How did it suddenly disappear? I spent a dime!
"It might have fallen..." Bai Lu laughed awkwardly, "It's not 'might', it's definitely fallen. I don't know where it fell, I've looked around and it's not there. I guess it was taken by a stray dog and it's gone forever. I'll go to the market to buy some more."
Lin Jinfan slowly stretched out his hand and opened it: "I wonder if these are your vegetable seeds?"
Bai Lu was dumbfounded: "..."
A small funnel, rolled up from a calendar sheet, is filled with something and bulges like an ice cream cone, lying quietly in a warm, gentle palm.
The familiar recipe.
Familiar packaging.
What else could it be but a vegetable seed?
In short, it's not a stray dog.
Bai Lu's lips twitched as she suppressed an awkward laugh: "These... are indeed the vegetable seeds I bought. I didn't expect them to fall so far away. They're really hard to find..."
"By the way, I was just about to return the books I borrowed from you before the college entrance exam. Thank you for your generosity. The books and practice papers were very helpful to me. I'll treat you to a meal sometime. I'm going home now to get the books for you."
Lin Jinfan watched Bai Lu turn around decisively, then glanced down at the vegetable seeds in his hand that she hadn't taken.
Perhaps they forgot.
I remembered it in a little while.
"Ah! I think I forgot something!" Bai Lu strode out and then strode back.
She took the vegetable seeds from Lin Jinfan's hands quickly and gracefully, with a polite smile.
"Thank you for helping me retrieve the vegetable seeds. Don't worry, I'll find the book soon."
No rush.
Lin Jinfan strolled leisurely.
This section of road is not far from Xiao Cheng's house. As the sun sets, pedestrians come and go on the street.
If you were to ask who the most famous people in this town are, it would be Xiao Cheng, Bai Lu, and Lin Jinfan.
A former bully and two national champions—the neighbors would greet each other when they met.
We chat occasionally.
Bai Lu left in a hurry, and the neighbors knew she must have something urgent to do, so they didn't keep her to chat.
Lin Jinfan, on the other hand, was constantly asked about study methods by her aunts and uncles.
Lin Jinfan answered every question without reservation, which moved the neighbors, who praised him endlessly.
They stopped at the former site of Xiao Cheng's family home, and then went back to their own homes to teach their children the study methods of a genius.
Bai Lu was very efficient; Lin Jinfan stopped in front of Xiao Cheng's old house in less than a minute.
The book was then published.
A gentle breeze has arrived.
A leaf fluttered down.
It landed on Bai Lu's head, and when Lin Jinfan took the book, he casually took it away from her.
Bai Lu was slightly surprised. She looked up and saw another fallen leaf blown down from the osmanthus tree in front of the house.
She stepped aside, touched her head, smoothed her hair, and only withdrew her hand after making sure there were no leaves.
His movements were casual yet elegant, even a little clumsy.
In the past, she wouldn't have moved aside or looked up; she would have just stood there dumbly, letting the fallen leaves cover her.
Lin Jinfan watched her shadow change with the afterglow of the sun, his expression remaining calm and composed.
"I have good news," he said.
"Mine?" Bai Lu looked at him in surprise, asking, "What good news?"
As Lin Jinfan expected, and with a tone of relief, he said, "You've been admitted to a university in Guangdong Province."
After a slight pause, Bai Lu's smile returned to normal. Her results were unsurprising, and her admission was perfectly normal.
Surprisingly, someone asked, "The admission notice won't be available for another two days. How did you find out so quickly?"
Lin Jinfan explained, "I had something to do a couple of days ago and went back to school, so I found out in advance."
Bai Lu immediately understood that teachers would always give some special privileges to students with good grades.
"That's definitely good news, so I can start preparing earlier."
Lin Jinfan nodded slightly: "I'll pick you up when school starts and take you around the campus to familiarize yourself with the area. The campus is very big, and it's inconvenient for you to carry your luggage to the dormitory building by yourself since you're not feeling well."
Her health was indeed poor before; she was capable of working, but prolonged neglect of her illness led to serious health problems...
Under a tree not far away.
The tall, aloof figure remained motionless, still holding a bag in his hand, as if he had been weathered into a sculpture.
“Brother Cheng…” Li Si opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say to comfort him.
"A perfect match... excellent in both character and academics..." "Childhood sweethearts who became the top scorers in the national college entrance examination..." "A match made in heaven..."
That was the most praise they heard on their way back.
I dislike matchmaking the most.
Before witnessing this scene and knowing that Bai Lu and Lin Jinfan were in the same school, Li Si firmly believed that Bai Lu definitely liked Xiao Cheng.
But now...
Bai Lu filled in the school where Lin Jinfan was studying, and she will be studying with Lin Jinfan in the future.
Li Si didn't know what this meant, nor did he dare to think about what it meant.
But those who know already know, because the big shot has been standing here for quite some time.
