Chapter 95. Unexpected
Having said this much, Ye Zhiyun felt it was completely sufficient.
She didn’t need to argue right and wrong with Lin Zihan in the first place.
And she was too lazy to care about what Lin Zihan was really thinking.
Because no matter what she wanted to do, Yun’er would protect her sister well.
That was enough.
Yun’er’s movements were light as she gripped Ye Zhibai’s hand. When Yun’er spoke to her sister, her tone immediately became gentle and soft.
“Sister, you said earlier that she has apologized for what happened before, right?”
“That’s right, she said I’m not mute anymore.”
“Just that?”
“She also said I’m not a vegetable.”
“……”
Ahem, although Ye Zhiyun didn’t hear the specific process of Lin Zihan’s apology.
It seems she at least acknowledged her mistakes.
Based on this, Yun’er temporarily released Ye Zhibai’s hand and turned around on the spot.
When facing Lin Zihan again, it was another brilliant face-changing performance of Sichuan opera!
Her beautiful little face immediately turned cold!
However, there was still some warmth in Yun’er’s words.
“Lin Zihan, I hope you’ll behave yourself. The family’s changes are not something you can control. If you and Aunt Elsa have any difficulties in life, although our Ye family has no obligation, we can provide some humanitarian aid to guarantee your livelihood, that’s not a problem.”
Lin Zihan loosened her hand from her still slightly sore side.
She playfully raised one finger.
Her smile was so difficult to fathom.
“Oh ho! Then please, great Ye family, bestow upon us 100 million! Many thanks!”
“Sister, let’s go, no need to bother with her anymore.”
Ye Zhibai’s hand was suddenly held by Ye Zhiyun again, walking towards the outside of the classroom.
Eh?! We’re not bothering with her anymore? We definitely won’t give her 100 million, but shouldn’t we at least give her some medical fees?!
Look how you kicked her! She’s still coughing!
Before being led out of the classroom by Yun’er,
Ye Zhibai looked back once more at Lin Zihan leaning against the desk with a bitter smile.
She waved goodbye to Ye Zhibai.
Though she was smiling.
Ye Zhibai felt… her smile was quite lonely.
“Take care, Xiao Bai’er! Let’s go out and play together sometime, hehe, of course, if your Zhiyun agrees!”
After walking out of the classroom, the view became broader.
While walking from the corridor to outside the teaching building.
Regarding what just happened, this is what Yun’er said.
“She still has the pride of the young lady of the Lin family. Before, we did offer living subsidies to her and her mother, but they were all refused by Lin Zihan’s mother, Elsa. Lin Zihan’s joke just now was actually telling me —— she doesn’t need it.”
“……”
Eh… the way rich people refuse really is fresh and refined.
But Ye Zhibai could understand to some extent.
“Guang Yu, can you understand? This is human pride, not eating food given in contempt, being self-reliant.”
“I understand, I understand~ Hm? Then why did you happily accept when your sister angrily transferred 2 million to your account!”
“Just tell me, does the drink bought with food given in contempt taste good?”
“It tastes good!”
“Then that’s fine.”
Ahem, Ye Zhibai’s situation is quite different!
As the two humans and one fox stepped out of the teaching building’s main entrance.
Ye Zhibai suddenly remembered something.
“Yun’er, wait a moment, there’s one more thing.”
“Hm?”
The exam venue that had been bustling for three days quieted down along with this peaceful sunset as the Ye sisters left.
Lin Zihan leaned against the desk, slightly raising her head to look at the ceiling.
The smile on her face from seeing off Xiao Bai’er hadn’t completely faded.
Perhaps, there was a moment when she gritted her teeth, had the impulse to punch the desk.
But this impulse was never carried out in the end.
She didn’t even clench her fist.
The anxiety of unwillingness was quickly covered by calm elegance.
The only outlet might have been her self-mocking, self-talking low voice.
“Keeping up appearances while suffering… I really wanted to eat a steak after finishing the college entrance exam… Sigh… don’t have the face for it, so no good food~~”
Next, Lin Zihan turned her grief and indignation into strength!
With effort, she lifted all the desks and chairs she had knocked over, arranging them neatly. After finishing, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her little hand, only then feeling a stinging pain in her finger.
She frowned and looked, just noticing a small scrape on her right thumb.
It must have hit the edge of the desk when she fell earlier.
It didn’t matter, Lin Zihan often got cut by kitchen knives when cooking anyway. She’d get small cuts every few days, they’d heal in a couple of days.
Rather than these, Lin Zihan wasn’t in a hurry to leave school.
Instead, she first went to get her phone from the storage bag outside the classroom, where it had been kept before the exam.
Returning to the classroom, she sat in a nearby seat, turned on the phone and checked.
If nothing unexpected happened, there should be messages that needed quick replies.
Sure enough.
Lin Zihan swiped open the message interface, her mom had already sent many messages.
The earliest was ten minutes ago, probably right when the college entrance exam ended, the latest was just received.
“Zihan, are you done with the exam?”
“Haven’t turned on your phone yet? How did it go?”
“Were there any questions you couldn’t do? Did you check the answer sheet for mistakes?”
“Zihan?”
Not wanting to make her anxious, Lin Zihan deliberately avoided her injured finger, typing a reply slightly slower.
“Mom, I’m done with the exam. The signal blocking probably wasn’t turned off earlier, the signal was bad. It went okay, I’ll be home soon.”
Before Lin Zihan could put away her phone and stand up.
Elsa’s reply came very quickly.
Because she didn’t type.
Instead, she sent a voice message.
Lin Zihan opened the voice message and put the speaker to her ear, her mom’s voice, sounding anxious after experiencing much hardship, immediately came through.
“What do you mean it went okay? Good or not good? Did something go wrong?”
Lin Zihan’s lips trembled, originally wanting to reply with a voice message.
But the words reached her lips and were taken back.
She still chose to type a reply.
“No, I mean it went quite well, might have a chance to perform better than usual.”
This time her mom’s reply was a bit slower.
“Alright, then mom congratulates you in advance. Come home early, Zihan. Today mom closed the flower shop early to celebrate your smooth college entrance exam. I’m cooking, making the sweet and sour fish you like.”
“Okay.”
After sending this reply, Lin Zihan locked her phone screen.
She sat in the chair, slowly stretching out her slender, well-shaped legs, stretching to relax herself.
Sigh… Sweet and sour fish.
Actually, Lin Zihan did like sweet and sour fish when she was little.
But later her tastes changed, now she likes steak.
Unfortunately, mom’s mood has been not very good, she doesn’t know.
After stretching, Lin Zihan exhaled lightly in relaxation, stood up on the spot, put away her phone
—— Only then feeling something still gripped in her left hand.
Opening her palm, she remembered she was still carefully holding this vine ring that was originally meant for Xiao Bai’er.
Ah ah… In the end, I still couldn’t give it to her.
Forget it… anyway, it was just an insignificant little thing.
Lin Zihan walked alone with steps that couldn’t be called crisp, to the trash can at the back of the classroom, without hesitation, undoing the clasp of the vine ring.
It turned back into an ordinary vine.
And naturally fell with gravity, precisely landing in the trash can.
At this moment.
Suddenly footsteps sounded from the corridor outside.
Lin Zihan turned her head towards the door.
Maybe it’s teachers clearing the area, asking students still at school to leave quickly.
At this time after the exam is over, the school should be closing.
Lin Zihan didn’t wait to be chased out.
She went back to her exam seat to get the stationery used during the exam, intending to leave through the front door.
But unexpectedly
Before she could go out.
Someone walked in first.
Lin Zihan looked up.
Even she, seeing the visitor, couldn’t help but widen her eyes in surprise!
This cold little face that should have left long ago but suddenly returned, appearing before Lin Zihan’s eyes, was truly too unexpected!
“Xiao… Xiao Bai’er?!”
Ye Zhibai, who had quickly walked back.
In her hand, she was holding a box of band-aids she had just bought.
