"Sweetie, you look terrible. Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Besides being the class's life committee member, Yuan Yuan was also the biology class representative. As soon as get out of class ended, she took the collected homework to the teacher's office. When she returned, she saw Zhen Tian looking listless and asked her with concern.
"It's nothing." Zhen Tian shook her head and lay down on the table to draw.
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly: "It's no use. It's been so long, and she still can't get over it."
"Is this really going to work?" Yuan Yuan frowned. "Should we talk to Senior Ji about this?"
"No." Zhen Tian suddenly looked up: "Don't contact him."
She's now unusually sensitive to Ji Yuzhi's name, reacting to even the slightest hint of trouble. But this sensitivity is limited to matters concerning Ji Yuzhi.
"Sweetie, if you miss Senior Ji, you can call him." Ye Qingyan really couldn't understand her awkward reason for not contacting him: "You two are so familiar with each other, what are you worried about?"
"It's nothing." Zhen Tian forced a smile, but it didn't come out properly. She lowered her eyes, and her hands stopped moving. "He's already in college. I don't want to affect him."
"You've influenced Senior Ji for so many years, what's a little more time?" Ye Qingyan tried to persuade her: "Besides, you've already given him the ring, which means he definitely has feelings for you."
Zhen Tian fell silent again. She squeezed the ring that she had hung on her chest with a rope. The school didn't allow wearing jewelry, so she had no choice but to do it this way.
After a long pause, she finally spoke: "I want to be more sensible."
Yuan Yuan beckoned to Ye Qingyan, signaling her to come out with him.
"What?" Ye Qingyan glanced back at Zhen Tian, but the girl didn't give them a single glance. Her heart skipped a beat before she asked Yuan Yuan.
“I have an idea.” Yuan Yuan took out her phone: “I left my phone number when Brother Tian helped me with my money problem last time.”
Yuan Yuan pulled out Lu Lin's phone number from her phone: "Should we call him? Maybe he can help?"
"Anyway, we just won't let Senior Ji know, right?" Ye Qingyan convinced herself while trying to gain Yuan Yuan's approval.
“Yes.” Yuan Yuan nodded.
"Then let's try anything, even if it's a dead end." Ye Qingyan nodded vigorously: "Make sure he doesn't tell Ji Yuzhi, or we'll be beaten to death by Tian Tian."
Don't worry.
Yuan Yuan took her phone and left to a corner.
The call went through for a long time, but no one answered.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you answering? Did you write down the phone number wrong?"
Yuan Yuan called many times, but received no response. Her heart sank; could it be that she had really misremembered in her nervousness?
"Beep beep beep..." The call was still connected.
"Hey, are you crazy to make so many calls so early in the morning?" An angry male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Yuan Yuan glanced at her phone; it was almost 11 o'clock. Morning?
She cleared her throat and asked, "Is this Lu Lin?"
"You don't even know who I am or what kind of stupid phone call I made?" The person on the other end of the line hung up immediately.
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Did you dial the wrong number?" Ye Qingyan blinked.
"No," Yuan Yuan said calmly, and her subordinate dialed the number again.
This time the call was answered very quickly.
"Do you want to get beaten up?!" The boy on the other end of the phone became even more agitated.
"I'm Yuan Yuan, Zhen Tian's classmate." This time, before Lu Lin could hang up, Yuan Yuan spoke first.
"Little sister?" Lu Lin paused for a moment, then heard rustling sounds on the other end of the phone. After a moment, his voice became much clearer: "I remember now, little girl. Did you call me for something?"
Lu Lin's current carefree tone was completely different from his irritable appearance just now, leaving Ye Qingyan in awe.
Yuan Yuan remained calm: "There's something I want to tell you about Tian Tian. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's convenient, go ahead and speak."
Lu Lin threw off the covers, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains, calming the restless atmosphere.
Yuan Yuan tried her best to describe Zhen Tian's unusual state these past few days in the most precise language.
"That's how it is." Her voice sounded weak.
"So you mean your little sister is greatly affected by Ji Yuzhi going to university and is distracted?" Lu Lin was both convinced and somewhat incredulous.
"right."
"Then call that bastard Ji Yuzhi. What kind of person is he to cause trouble for my little sister just because he's going to university?" He started to get angry again.
"Sweetie doesn't want him to know. If the news leaks out from you, guess what will happen to her..."
"Alright, alright." Lu Lin shivered, not wanting to recall his little sister's angry face at all. "I'll think of a way. You guys just go to class obediently."
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
"Resolved?" Ye Qingyan asked.
"Probably," Yuan Yuan shrugged. "He said he'd figure something out."
"Okay." Ye Qingyan hesitated a bit. She had met Lu Lin before. Could such an unreliable man really be a good match?
...
Lu Lin rushed back again, just like last time, but this time he didn't come back overnight. Instead, he put on his clothes after receiving the phone call and booked a plane ticket.
He also borrowed a few tickets from the coach.
This time, Lu Lin landed very close to the time when Zhen Tian and the others got out of school.
He rushed from the airport to the gate of the No. 1 Middle School. The school was still quiet, and the school bell had not yet rung. He was panting heavily as he slowly walked towards Zhen Tian's classroom.
He had just reached the entrance of the teaching building when the bell rang. He cursed under his breath and started running upstairs again.
"Little sister." He had just blocked Zhen Tian and her group at the classroom door.
"Brother?!" Zhen Tian smiled as she looked at Lu Lin, who seemed to have fallen from the sky.
"Do you miss me?" Lu Lin reached out and touched his sister's tired face with heartache. "Do you look so sad because you miss your brother too much?"
He was teasing her on purpose.
“Brother…” Zhen Tian pouted, her expression of wanting to cry but desperately holding it back made Lu Lin’s heart ache as well: “Cry, brother is here.”
Zhen Tian was held in Lu Lin's arms, and she couldn't help but sob softly: "Sweetie, it's all your fault for knowing how much I miss you but not coming back to see our sweetie."
"Who misses you?" she said, amused by Lu Lin.
"It's definitely our little darling." Lu Lin wiped away her tears. "Do you want to go see your little brother win the championship for you this time?"
"Huh? What champion?" Zhen Tian looked up at him, tilting her head back.
Lu Lin pulled a stack of tickets from his pants pocket: "You guys didn't come to see my competition last time, and I was still sad about it. How about you bring your friends to see me win the championship for you this time?"
Ye Qingyan and the others had been watching for a long time. Upon hearing this, Yang Feiguang couldn't help but grab the ticket and exclaimed, "Playoff tickets?"
