Chapter 1164: Lin Nuan Looked Up and Saw Yun Liuli
Xiao Yuan had no words to retort.
Not only that, but Xiao Qinghai also warned Xiao Yuan not to engage those hooligans to hara.s.s the people around Zhou Yuchen, else he would stop giving him an allowance. Other than that… Xiao Qinghai also said he would deduct half of Xiao Yuan’s allowance as a punishment for bullying his biological brother!
Most importantly, Zhou Yuchen’s allowance was triple the amount Xiao Yuan received! Grandma Xiao felt that Zhou Yuchen had suffered hards.h.i.+p outside all these years, so she even gave Zhou Yuchen a bank card! She said that she had given Xiao Yuan a red packet on his birthday every year, so this card contained the amount of money she wasn’t able to give to Zhou Yuchen as red packets on his birthdays all these years!
While Guan Nina was still in shock from seeing Xiao Yuan and Zhou Yuchen get out of the same car, she saw Zhou Yuchen revealing a smile at her.
In that instant, Guan Nina felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
Like straight out of a comic, the handsome prince noticed her in the crowd…
“Are you waiting for me? Let’s go!” Zhou Yuchen said.
“Why did you come here… with Xiao Yuan?” Guan Nina asked softly as she walked into school with Zhou Yuchen.
“Mm!” Zhou Yuchen merely said one word.
Guan Nina wasn’t so insensible as to press him for an answer. She started chattering about how exams were about to start after today’s lessons and complained about how ill-prepared she was.
In the distance, Zhou Yuchen saw Yun Liuli walking with a frown on her face and with her head lowered. He called out with a smile, “Liuli!”
Yun Liuli had her head lowered and was mulling over her grand plan of making money. She hadn’t slept a wink last night because of this.
“Liuli!” Zhou Yuchen shouted again as he ran towards Yun Liuli.
Guan Nina chased after Zhou Yuchen for two steps, then gradually slowed down…
She had some doubts. The Zhou Yuchen of today… was kind of different, very different!
Not only because he got out of the same luxury car as Xiao Yuan, but also because Zhou Yuchen actually shouted out Yun Liuli’s name, like a… normal student!
Guan Nina watched as Zhou Yuchen caught up to Yun Liuli. The two of them stood under the large tree. The morning suns.h.i.+ne shone through the tree branches, and golden specks of suns.h.i.+ne were scattered over the ground.
She paused, suddenly feeling that Zhou Yuchen and Yun Liuli looked very compatible together!
Perhaps, only a girl as stunningly beautiful as Yun Liuli was good enough for Zhou Yuchen, who was so good-looking!
Zhou Yuchen whipped out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Yun Liuli.
“What’s this?” Yun Liuli asked.
“Aren’t you in need of money? There’s… I don’t know how much is inside, but it must be a pretty significant amount. If it’s not enough to settle the huge debt you owe, let me know!”
Yun Liuli’s hands remained gripping the straps of her backpack. She gazed at Zhou Yuchen, perplexed. “Where did you get this money from?”
Clearly… even his hospital fees were paid for by Yun Liuli.
“Xiao Qinghai… brought me back to the Xiao family!” Zhou Yuchen said, feigning casualness.
Yun Liuli stared at him with her clear eyes. “Then?”
“Giving you money…” Zhou Yuchen said.
How could Yun Liuli use someone else’s money to provide for her lover? What a joke!
Yun Liuli smiled. “I want to earn my own money! Zhou Yuchen… I like to depend on myself!”
Zhou Yuchen paused slightly. Under the suns.h.i.+ne… there was a faint dimple at the corner of the girl’s lips, appearing clean and breathtakingly pretty.
“Let’s go! Time for cla.s.s!” Yun Liuli said to Zhou Yuchen.
From her peripheral vision, she saw Guan Nina standing in the distance, looking dazed. She waved at Guan Nina. “Let’s go, what are you in a daze about!”
Guan Nina responded quietly, then jogged over. As she did so, she adjusted her expression, and when she caught up to them, she hooked an arm around Yun Liuli’s arm and joked cheerfully as usual. “Exams tomorrow. I pray for the blessing of the G.o.d of studies!”
“Okay!” Yun Liuli answered. “I promise if you can get number one this time, I’ll bless you next time!”
“You’re too arrogant! Careful, someone might just oust you from your number one spot!”
“I’m looking forward to that!” Yun Liuli sounded casual.
When the three of them entered the cla.s.sroom, they saw Xiao Yuan, who was pulling a long face surrounded by his trashy friends.
Seeing Xiao Yuan look in Zhou Yuchen’s direction, Guan Nina gazed towards Zhou Yuchen while holding her breath. This was the first time she saw Zhou Yuchen staring straight back at him with those beautiful eyes of a different color, doing so deeply and calmly.
When the professor entered and slapped on the table before starting roll call, Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and turned around.
Seeing as exams would commence tomorrow, people could be heard whining in the cla.s.sroom. Someone even begged the professor to highlight the main points to them. The bald professor answered in a straightforward manner, saying, “Main points? Hur hur… everything I’ve said in cla.s.s are main points!”
Whining erupted in the cla.s.sroom instantly.
Yun Liuli took out the notes she had made and handed them to Zhou Yuchen…
Zhou Yuchen said nothing as he flipped open and glanced at the notes!
Yun Liuli had made notes of what she considered the main points.
It wasn’t a secret that Yun Liuli never made notes.
The fresh ink on the paper indicated that the notes were written fairly recently. Yun Liuli probably wrote them for him!
“Xiao Liuli, you’re biased!” Guan Nina pouted. “Why did you only give Zhou Yuchen notes and not me! I’m a lousy student too… I also need the protection of the G.o.d of studies!”
Yun Liuli packed her things and said, “Then photocopy them!”
Yun Liuli proceeded to leave…
“Where are you going?” Guan Nina asked.
“I’m going to look for my sister…”
By sister, Yun Liuli was referring to Lin Nuan.
Once out of the cla.s.sroom, Yun Liuli called Lin Nuan. You Nainai was the one who answered the call. After learning that Lin Nuan was recording a show, Yun Liuli called for a cab and went straight to the place after getting an address.
On the way there, Yun Liuli fidgeted with her phone and hesitated a long time before deciding to call Gu Qingcheng!
But when she dialed his number, she found that his phone was turned off…
Could he have left the country already?
How heartless!
Yun Liuli criticized him internally for not dropping a word before he left…
Yun Liuli sniffled. After getting out of the cab, unable to take it lying down, she called Gu Qingcheng again. Still, his phone was turned off.
So heartless! He should at least have sent her a text message!
After slipping her phone into her pocket, Yun Liuli went into Lin Nuan’s recording studio.
Lin Nuan, who was done recording the show, was discussing something with Fang Yan. Fang Yan had personally selected some scripts and was asking Lin Nuan to pick from them.
“I think more highly of this Xianxia drama[1]… After all, you only have ‘The Exorcist’ as your foundation, and you look beautiful dressed in ancient clothing! Mainly, I want you to appeal to the youngsters, so I think this is better! Although you’ll only be guest-starring… the character is very likable!”
Lin Nuan took a sip of mineral water and sighed. “I don’t really want to film a TV series…”
“Have some ambition!” Fang Yan pressed a hand to her forehead. “You think you’re famous enough now? Far from it!”
“Xiao Liuli… you’re here!” Lin Nuan looked up and saw Yun Liuli.
