Chapter 132
The sunlight fell softly on the winding road.
A black car drove smoothly through the car. Jiang You sat by the window, her eyes lowered as she looked at the messages on her phone.
Song Yun, Lin Yu, Wang Lili... and Shen Yi'an's large collection of short, green essays.
He was probably confused. His long essay asked her how she met Xia Yan and Xia Bei. A large part of it was bad things about Xia Bei, and a small part was telling her to stay away from Xia Bei.
Finally, he said he was going back to attend his grandfather's 60th birthday celebration and would be back in a few days.
She wanted to stay away from Xia Bei, Jiang You put away her phone, but did she have the ability to do so?
In Qingxiang City, the magnificent mansion of the Shen family sits quietly on the mountainside.
The mansion features white walls and gray tiles, with flying eaves and brackets arranged in a pleasing manner. A winding asphalt road climbs from the foot of the mountain all the way to the front of the Shen family's gate, like a ribbon connecting the tranquility of this mountainside with the prosperity of the outside world.
Grandpa Shen's birthday celebration was a grand affair, attracting a large number of celebrities and dignitaries.
Inside the banquet hall, the carved beams and painted rafters were magnificent and resplendent.
As Shen Weimin's grandson, Shen Yi'an was also a key figure in the guests' conversations.
The Lin family also arrived at the banquet hall at this moment.
After finishing his conversation with his children, Mr. Lin looked up and noticed something was missing. After a moment of thought, he realized that his taciturn second son, Lin Yu, was not there.
Once he got used to looking up, Lin Yu stood obediently on the outside, quietly watching him.
The place is now empty, and Lin's father is not used to it.
His eyes searched through the crowd, and finally spotted Lin Yu in a corner, casually eating fruit.
"Lin Yu?"
When he realized that it was his father calling him, a flash of surprise crossed Lin Yu's eyes, but it quickly subsided.
"What's wrong, Dad? Is there something you need?"
Lin's father was speechless for a moment. He couldn't very well say that he was not used to his son not waiting for him quietly and obediently as usual, could he?
"It's nothing," Lin's father said with a forced smile. After chatting with Lin Yu about his recent situation, he left.
Shen Yi'an was surrounded by small groups of people and became the focus of attention among the young people.
Lin Yu watched, then withdrew his gaze, having endured the long and tedious banquet, and returned to his lodgings.
Two large dogs surrounded him enthusiastically, barking and lunging at him.
"No, brother is filthy. I'll play with you guys after I take a bath, okay?" Lin Yu squatted down, his thin lips parted, and the weariness and indifference in his small gray eyes turned into happiness. His refined and clean face beamed with a bright smile.
He petted the dog a couple of times, stood up, went into the bathroom, and came out wearing a simple T-shirt and knee-length khaki casual pants.
The heating in the room was on full blast, revealing long, straight calves and delicate, beautiful ankles.
Lin Yu sat on the sofa, the tips of his bangs slightly damp. Lost in thought, his eyes glazed over, he murmured, "Youyou..."
A big dog barked twice.
Lin Yu turned to look at it, "Do you like her too?"
He tilted his head and chuckled softly, "How about letting her be the older sister?"
"Woof!" The big dog stuck out its tongue, not understanding what its owner was saying, but responding was the right thing to do.
Lin Yu smiled happily: "I will try my best."
*****
In the quiet night, Lin Yu opened a bag of snacks given to him by Jiang You, and the big dog beside him had its eyes shining.
"No way, this is from Youyou, not yours," Lin Yu said possessively, taking a bite and squinting his eyes happily.
On the other side, Jiang You slept soundly through the night. In the morning, she got up early, put on a backpack containing three days' worth of clothes and toiletries, and went to the school gate to wait for someone.
Today is the first day of school, and also the day to visit and learn from LanHai School.
Although Blue Ocean School is nicknamed an elite school, it is not an international school, but a public school within the national education system.
Jiang You didn't have to wait long before the other five people slowly came over.
There were six people in total: four girls and two boys.
She secretly observed them and realized that she knew all five of them. One of them, a man and a woman, were a couple, but she couldn't tell anything about the others.
The five people were also curious about her. After a brief exchange, a girl named Deng Huan patted her chest and said, "I'll protect you from now on!"
Jiang You was somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people around him, and after a long pause, he could only manage a reply: "Thank you, thank you."
"Are you going to marry someone else?" a boy with a face full of acne and hair so greasy it looked like he hadn't washed it in a month asked with a grin.
"So what? They're all my wives," Deng Huan said, then, seeing the young couple behind him, he said nonchalantly, "Liu Yi, what are you doing? Touching my wives?"
She rushed over and separated the young couple: "She's my wife, only I can touch her, you know?"
“I’ll hold her hand, she’s my girlfriend,” Liu Yi said, raising an eyebrow.
Deng Huan angrily punched him, but Liu Yi grabbed her fist. Deng Huan kicked him, but Liu Yi clamped her legs around hers, and the two became entangled and hugged each other.
The fact that the others seemed unfazed left Jiang You in awe: Wow!
Perhaps her gaze was too strange, because the boy with acne next to her explained, "Deng Huan's personality is just like a boy's; we all treat her like one..."
Jiang You smiled politely, offering no comment.
As they were talking, the bus drove by and stopped at the school gate.
Led by the department head, everyone boarded a bus and headed to LanHai School.
After an hour's journey, the bus stopped, and Jiang You looked out the window.
The campus architecture perfectly blends the intricate details of classical Chinese style with the clean lines and modern aesthetics.
One side of the lawn is a large lawn, and the edge of the lawn in the distance blends into the horizon, making it seem to stretch endlessly.
