Chapter 32.2 Letting some other guy wear his clothes (2)

Lin Yujing had just walked over, seeing the tip of his pen stop at the very last multiple-choice question

and circling C then quickly sweeping through the long questions before turning to the next page. He swept through the long questions in 3 minutes, his pen not writing the answers, rather, highlighting the conditions given in two questions before closing the booklet and lifting his head, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Lin Yujing reacted, “Are you doing the homework?”

Shen Juan chuckled, “Little lady, I’m not someone who can take the exam without doing the practice sets.”

Lin Yujing expressionlessly looked at him and pointed to himself, “I’m only younger than you by a year, I’m not a little lady.”

“Two years.” Shen Juan corrected.

Lin Yujing was confused, “Huh?”

“Did you start studying at 6?” Shen Juan asked.

Images of what could’ve happened here a few minutes ago formed in his mind, slipping through his self-control.

He shut his eyes and stood under the shower, one hand propped against the wall and sighed.

When Lin Yujing woke up, it was 5:30am in the morning, not a sound to be heard and the sky just beginning to brighten. Through a small window on top of a cabinet, she could see the gray and hazy sky.

She laid on the sofa, gathering her wits slowly before getting up and rubbing her swollen eyes. She yawned before turning over and putting her feet on the floor.

The toothbrush she used was left in the bathroom in Shen Juan’s bedroom. Lin Yujing glanced at the tightly shut door of the bedroom and chose to give up on the thought. She went to the other bathroom and opened up a new disposable set and left after washing up.

Mornings in the old alley were very livelym a sight Lin Yujing had never seenbefore. When she walked out, the scent of breakfast like soy milk, large flatbread, crispy dough sticks, millet with salted egg and mustard tuber wafted in the air. One bite of them would fill the mouth with goodness, a completely different food experience from the plain millet served in the cafeteria.

Lin Yujing bought one of each kind and walked back to the studio while eating. She didn’t lock the door when she left so when she went back to the room, it was just as quiet, the faint smell of alcohol and the warmth of sleeping for a night still lingering.

Lin Yujing put breakfast on the table and folded the blanket. She then tore a white paper to leave a note before leaving the studio.

She needed to go back home and take her bag. At this time, Meng Weiguo and Guan Xiangmei probably shouldn’t be awake yet.

But the moment she stepped in, there was a bit of a miscalculation.

She coincidentally came across Fu Mingxiu who was just coming down.

Lin Yujing was surprised, standing at the doorway, her mouth agape.

Fu Mingxiu was just as surprised, standing at the entrance of the stairs looking at her. Lin Yujing waved her arms back and forth and took two deep breaths, taking the initiative to say, “Good morning, brother! The air outside is very nice. Do you usually jog in the morning?”

Fu Mingxiu frowned, staring back at her, and seeing that she wore the same clothes as yesterday, he cleared his throat, “I’ll send you later.”

The young girl was once again overwhelmed by his favor.

Fu Mingxiu quickly explained, “I need to get to school too anyway, it’s just along the way.”

At this point in time, Lin Yujing finally had a thorough understanding of Fu Mingxiu. Even though he had the attitude of a young master, he wasn’t a bad person. Moreover, he often acted the opposite of what he said.

Perhaps he was just an irascible naïve young man, his thoughts written all over his face, not at all like his mother.

Lin Yujing had already had breakfast so she simply had boiled eggs and towed her little luggage, leaving with Fu Mingxiu out the door.

Guan Xiangmei walked forward and smiled at Meng Weiguo saying, “Look at those two children, they get along so well.”

When she reached school, there was not a soul in sight. The class representatives had yet to come as well. Lin Yujing sat in her seat and took out her phone, looking at the new piece of message she had just received.

She originally thought it was from Shen Juan but it had actually come from Cheng Yi.

Autumn in the city came quickly so sports day also came quicker on their side whereas that in the subsidiary school had already ended. Cheng Yi’s class took first place and he had sent a photo over.

He had his arm around Lu Jiaheng’s neck for a photo. Lu Jiaheng had an annoyed look on, his hand trying to cover the lens but to no avail, only a finger captured in the photo.

Cheng Yi: [Whale sister, has your school’s sports day passed yet?]

Lin Yujing replied: [Not yet, it’s this week.]

At this time, Cheng Yi should have just woken up and wondering whether he should go to school. He quickly replied: [This week, huh. For how many days? Brother will see if he can skip class to go play at yours.]

Lin Yujing replied with a smile: [Two days on Thursday and Friday. Then it’ll be the weekend.]

Cheng Yi was originally going to come visit during National Day but was kidnapped by his family to go on a family trip. The youth’s heart, which wanted to do everything but study, was uncontrollably restless. He was like a bird yearning to be free and eager to escape from school.

Cheng Yi: [That’s good timing. I can stay at your place for four days and see if our school flower has grown more beautiful after a few months of not having seen each other.]

Cheng Yi: [Sigh, let me tell you. There are quite a few attractive freshmen this school year. I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect your place as the number 1 beauty anymore.]

Lin Yujing put down her phone and smiled while lying on the table.

She was in the middle of smiling when she heard a knock on her table.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Juan then stood up to make way for him and replied without lifting her head.

Shen Juan cast her two looks before going in and sitting down.

Lin Yujing also sat down, her fingers typing away with a smile hanging on her face.

In truth, she quite liked to smile and would smile at anyone. Her eyes would curve when she looked at you and there would be a faint dimple appearing on the left side of her cheek, making one have the urge to poke it.

However, the smile wouldn’t really reach her eyes.

And when she occasionally did smile from the heart, it would inexplicably soften one’s heart.

Take right now for example.

He didn’t know who she was talking to that made her smile like a sunflower.

This didn’t make a certain someone’s heart soft at all, not only that, it was painful sight to see.

The bit of happiness Shen Juan had when he saw breakfast on the table that morning had completely vanished. With droopy eyes, he turned his head and leaned against the wall.

Lin Yujing was in the middle of typing when she suddenly raised her head and looked at him, “Can outsiders come in during Eighth High’s Sports day?”

“They probably can,” Shen Juan cast her a glance, “The security during sports day isn’t that strict. As long as they’re wearing a school uniform, they can enter.”

In truth, it usually wasn’t that strict as well. As long as one donned the Eigth High uniform and was able to pass off as a student, the school would let you in.

Lin Yujing nodded and suddenly turned to him, “Classmate Shen, on sports day, can you lend me your school uniform?”

Shen Juan paused, “What for?”

“I have a friend who’s coming,” Lin Yujing explained, “And so, I wanted to borrow from you. He’ll return it to you once he passes through the school gate.”

“Is it a guy?” Shen Juan asked.

Lin Yujing couldn’t help but think of this question stupid, “If it was a girl, wouldn’t I have just lent them mine?”

Shen Juan was quiet for a good few second and narrowed his eyes, asking in a slow voice, “You’re going to let some other guy wear the clothes I lent you?”

Shen Juan: You player.
