Lin Ruanruan experienced the college entrance examination again, but this time her performance was better than ever.
She has the best support system in her life, caring friends, and a home that shelters her from the storms of life.
She doesn't need to worry about the future, how she will survive, or have any concerns whatsoever. After the exams, she won't have to worry about making a living, nor will she have to run around aimlessly. And she certainly won't commit suicide by cutting her wrists at the age of 22...
After finishing the last exam, a light drizzle began to fall. Lin Ruanruan walked out of the exam hall into the rain, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw her family and friends waiting for her. She happily ran over and hugged Huo Xian, "Xianxian, I'm done with the exam!"
Huo Xian put her arm around Lin Ruanruan, her face beaming with a smile. "Great! My brother made a reservation at Li Ji's. Let's go quickly."
Lin Ruanruan nodded quickly, "Walking, walking, I feel like I'm starving to death."
...
After the college entrance examination, there were all sorts of gatherings for students, but Lin Ruanruan wasn't interested in any of them. She wasn't familiar with them, and it would be awkward for her to go. So she simply stayed at home and enjoyed her free time.
Fang Lantian, on the other hand, was having a great time and even left the cat to Lin Ruanruan to take care of. At this moment, Lin Ruanruan was yawning while holding Fusheng on the swing in her backyard.
"Fusheng, you're so pitiful, your father doesn't want you anymore."
Lin Ruanruan said many things that old grandmothers would say to children to the pitiful Fusheng. Fusheng lay listlessly on Lin Ruanruan's lap, seemingly feeling abandoned by its owner.
Lin Ruanruan stroked Fusheng's cat head thoughtfully, "Fusheng, what do you think I should prepare for a confession?"
"Flowers, gifts, and what else?"
Lin Ruanruan, exasperated, combed Fusheng's hair against the grain, but Fusheng, being good-natured, let Lin Ruanruan do whatever she wanted.
"Should we ask someone with experience?"
However, it seemed that there were no experienced people around her. Huo Xian and Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng had to give her a push from behind to make it happen.
Fang Lan? Fang Lan is no good; she can't even understand her own problems.
Wang Zihao? He's even worse; he has zero experience in this area.
Lin Ruanruan rested her chin on her hand, thinking hard. "His birthday is in two days. How about we wait until his birthday?"
"But that won't work either. I heard from Aunt Yan that she's planning to celebrate his birthday at home. How am I supposed to do that?"
Lin Ruanruan stroked Fusheng's chin. "Fusheng, what do you think I should do?"
Fusheng squinted as it enjoyed Lin Ruanruan's massage service; it was just a cat and couldn't understand human speech at all.
Lin Ruanruan stared at Fusheng for a long time before saying, "I've made up my mind, it's today!"
She didn't dare to think any further. Lin Ruanruan touched her pounding chest. What should she do? She was so nervous.
Clearing her throat, Lin Ruanruan took out her phone and called Huo Qi. "Brother Huo, what are you doing?"
It was relatively quiet on Huo Qi's side; it seemed like there was an echo when people spoke in the stairwell. "I was just in a meeting at Huo's."
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I disturb you?"
Huo Qi chuckled lightly, "No problem, it won't bother you no matter when you call. I just finished driving."
"I should thank you for calling me. You don't know what happened earlier, but my uncle went to my grandfather to plead for me again. He even made a scene in front of me. I didn't want to talk to him."
Lin Ruanruan wrinkled her nose. "He still won't give up?"
"Yes, he's heavily in debt right now, so of course he has to hurry."
Lin Ruanruan pursed her lips, "Brother Huo."
"Um?"
"Well, um, you, um, I've been a little bored these past couple of days. Fang Lan went to a gathering with her classmates, Xianxian and her older brother went to the Xuanyuan family's house, and Wang Zihao was kidnapped by Wang Shao..."
"Yes, I can today. Can I treat you to dinner after you get off work?"
Lin Ruanruan was a little uneasy. She poked Fusheng's head with her index finger and made a small hole. Fusheng couldn't dodge it.
Huo Qi couldn't help but chuckle softly. Lin Ruanruan rubbed her earlobe. "Oh my god, Brother Huo's voice is so soothing."
"Of course you can. I didn't know our Aruan was so pitiful until you told me. I'm off work now, so you don't need to come to Huo's this afternoon. I'll pick you up and we'll go out and have some fun."
"Huh?" Lin Ruanruan was dumbfounded. This, so fast?
"What's wrong?" Huo Qi was somewhat surprised by Lin Ruanruan's reaction.
Lin Ruanruan blinked and clutched her chest. "Okay, I'll go get myself ready now."
"Okay, it's settled then." Huo Qi finished speaking and went to see where they would go for fun later.
Lin Ruanruan was a little confused after hanging up the phone. "No, I don't know how to do it if it's Brother Huo's arrangement."
"Oh well, never mind." Lin Ruanruan carried Fusheng into the house and saw that Aunt Qian had just finished arranging flowers.
Lin Ruanruan handed Fusheng to Aunt Qian, saying, "Aunt Qian, I'm going out for a bit later, so please don't cook for me. Could you please take care of Fusheng for me?"
Aunt Qian smiled and accepted the resurrection. "That's more like it, Miss. After the exam, you should go out and have fun with your friends. Don't stay cooped up at home all day."
Lin Ruanruan smiled shyly, "Then I'll leave Fusheng to Aunt Qian."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very good at taking care of cats."
Lin Ruanruan then went upstairs to tidy herself up. She picked out a light blue floral dress with a halter neck, a modern Chinese style, and put it on. She then tidied her hair.
Her hair was slightly wavy, and she had braided two pigtails close to her ears, then tied them behind her back. "Shouldn't it look alright?"
After applying a light makeup, she ran to the safe, took out the violet bracelet, and put it on. Then she looked at a box in the safe, took it out solemnly, and opened the box. Inside, a silver-white watch lay quietly. Under the refraction of light, the diamonds on the dial and strap sparkled with dazzling light.
Lin Ruanruan took a deep breath, closed the box, and carefully placed it in the bag she would carry later.
When Huo Qi drove up to Lin Ruanruan's building, Lin Ruanruan was already waiting by the roadside. Huo Qi quickly got out of the car and opened the passenger door. "Why didn't you wait for me inside? What if you got sunburned?"
Lin Ruanruan skillfully climbed into the car and fastened her seatbelt. "I just got out too."
Huo Qi raised an eyebrow and pinched Lin Ruanruan's nose. "You're lying. Your hair got so hot from the sun."
Lin Ruanruan smiled shyly and changed the subject, "Brother Huo, where are we going?"
Huo Qi then got into the driver's seat. "Do you remember the mountain we climbed before?"
Lin Ruanruan made a face, "Huh? We're going hiking today?"
Huo Qi started the car and laughed when he heard this, "What are you thinking? You look so good, why would I let you climb a mountain?"
Lin Ruanruan's ears immediately turned red. She looked out the window shyly and asked, "What are we going there for?"
"I have a resort there, and the chef makes pretty good private dishes. I'll take you there to try them. There are also many entertainment facilities that I can show you around."
For some reason, Huo Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, all the activities are gentle and non-stimulating. You can even feed the small animals."
Lin Ruanruan's eyes lit up, "Great!"
