Lu Jiming's bright eyes were fixed on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li couldn't help but take a step back because of the stare.
"You...you shouldn't look at me like that..." Jiang Li felt a little helpless under his gaze. She pressed her temples. "Just say what you want to say. Don't try to communicate with your eyes. I can't understand what you're trying to say with your eyes."
Lu Jiming was extremely excited.
Hearing Jiang Li say this, he regained his ability to speak.
"You...you really want to apply to the same school as me?" Lu Jiming asked again, as if to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.
"What?" Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "You don't want to go to the same school as me?"
Lu Jiming shook his head frantically, "No, no... Of course I want to go to the same school as you! This school has always been my goal. Now that you want to go together, I'm overjoyed! I don't want this possibility to exist!"
This result was something he really hadn't expected.
Jiang Li actually applied to the same school as him.
Now, he felt...
He doesn't even need to persuade his family anymore.
There's no need to even come up with an explanation.
Just one sentence...
His family would happily agree to let him apply to that school.
If he showed even the slightest reluctance, they might force him to go.
Thinking about it this way, while Lu Jiming was happy, a tiny bit of sadness also crept into his heart.
well……
He really is at the bottom of the food chain.
"Oh." Jiang Li, unaware of Lu Jiming's inner thoughts, pretended to believe him and turned to Lu Shiyan, tugging at her clothes as she asked, "Ayan, can I change these clothes?"
Lu Jiming then noticed Jiang Li's clothes. His eyes widened, and without thinking, he said, "Jiang Li, what are you doing dressed like that?"
Jiang Li glared at Lu Jiming, "Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then pull out your tongue!"
"Alright, then may I ask, beautiful and kind Miss Jiang Li, what are you going to do dressed so beautifully?" After Lu Jiming finished speaking, he felt disgusted with himself and couldn't help but touch the goosebumps that suddenly appeared on his arm.
"You don't know?" Jiang Li gave a strange look.
"What do I need to know?" Lu Jiming was genuinely a little confused.
"Go ask your uncle."
Lu Jiming: "???"
how?
He doesn't deserve to know, does he?
"Uncle!" Lu Jiming immediately turned to look at his uncle. "What is Jiang Li going to do? Are you going to an auction? Or some kind of business gala? Can I come along?"
Lu Shiyan's cool voice came from the side, "No, it's not that. It's to attend your school's celebration banquet and graduation party. You don't need us to take you; you can go by yourself."
Lu Jiming: "???"
What?
"A celebration banquet and a graduation party?" Lu Jiming was stunned. "When? How come I didn't know?"
As a student at the school, and a student of considerable status at that...
He didn't even know about this!
Even if he wasn't the top scorer in the college entrance exam, he was still the runner-up, so he should at least be included in the celebration banquet, right?
Besides...
Even disregarding the celebration banquet, he's still a graduate, attending the graduation party...
We definitely can't leave him out.
"The school is still preparing. Once everything is ready and the date is set, we will notify you," Lu Shiyan replied slowly.
Lu Jiming: "..."
"Uncle..." Lu Jiming took a deep breath and asked, somewhat self-deceivingly, "You prepared such beautiful clothes for Jiang Li, but did you prepare any clothes for me?"
I think I'll prepare it.
It's a bit unreasonable to show favoritism to one side over the other.
"Why should I prepare this for you?" Lu Shiyan retorted. "Go ask your parents to prepare it for you!"
He had never prepared anything like this for Lu Jiming before.
He prepared it for Jiang Li because he wanted to prepare everything for his future wife; it was a feeling from the bottom of his heart.
As for Lu Jiming...
Some things can be taken along, some things...
Go find his parents; his uncle is too busy to deal with him.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Sure enough, the love not only transferred, but also completely disappeared from him.
He's just a pitiful little thing.
Jiang Li felt a little sorry for Lu Jiming's dejected appearance.
She raised her arm and poked Lu Shiyan, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat Lu Jiming like this?"
"Don't be fooled by his pretense." Lu Shiyan had already seen through Lu Jiming. "Ever since his grades came out, his parents have been overjoyed, showing them off everywhere and scouring the world for nice things for him. Even though he didn't come home and the gifts weren't delivered to him, he's already received so many red envelopes that his hands are sore."
"That's a red envelope, not clothes!" Lu Jiming retorted angrily. "How can they be the same?"
"If you go home now, you'll definitely see a room full of new clothes your mom has prepared for you," Lu Shiyan stated the fact. "With so many new clothes, you can pick whatever you want."
Lu Jiming: "..."
Forget it, with that fucking bad taste...
I strongly disagree.
"Jiang Jiang, look at him, he's just being pretentious." Lu Shiyan openly complained about Lu Jiming, "Someone prepared things for him, and he complained about them, then turned around and asked me for them. What kind of logic is that?"
Jiang Li: "..."
She shouldn't respond to that.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. There are plenty of people to deal with Lu Jiming. Are you hungry?" Lu Shiyan ignored his troublesome nephew.
Jiang Li nodded. "Yes, I'm hungry."
She just grabbed a couple of snacks for lunch and didn't eat any real food before rushing back.
"Then eat something first to fill your stomach. Let me see if the soup is ready," Lu Shiyan said gently. "If it's ready, then we can eat."
"Okay, then I'll go change my clothes first." With that, Jiang Li went to the dressing room and chose some comfortable loungewear to change into.
When I came out...
Then I saw my third senior brother again.
"Third Senior Brother, what brings you here too?" Jiang Li looked at Gong Yu in surprise.
Gong Yu glanced at the food on the table and said, "Just treat me like I'm here to freeload."
Jiang Li: "..."
Oh, they've come to steal her food.
No wonder...
Ah Yan's cooking is so delicious, how could he possibly miss this great opportunity to have Ah Yan cook?
Just as Jiang Li was lost in thought, Gong Yu handed her another red envelope.
"What is this?" Jiang Li asked.
"A reward," Gong Yu replied, though he tried to remain calm, the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up. "You and Lu Jiming will both receive one; you did well on the college entrance exam."
Jiang Li didn't stand on ceremony and immediately accepted the red envelope, saying, "Thank you, Third Senior Brother!"
"Aren't you going to thank your other senior brothers?" Just then, another familiar voice rang out, "We've also prepared gifts for you."
Um?
Sixth Senior Brother?
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with confusion. "Since you were coming here, why didn't you come back with me?"
"Of course, it's to pick up the gift I prepared for you," Chu Yunhan said with a smile, then handed another gift box to Jiang Li.
On top of the box was a red envelope, and underneath the red envelope was a gift that Chu Yunhan had customized for Jiang Li.
