Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows, half-wrapped his arm around Ning Li who was leaning against his chest.
Ning Li sleepily nuzzled into his chest.
It was an extremely intimate gesture, with a feeling of dependence that even she herself had not noticed.
Pei Song’s gaze rested on her quiet sleeping face for a moment before he averted his gaze.
Lu Huaiyu turned his head to look at Ning Li.
Her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a few strands of her hair lay messily against her fair, delicate cheeks. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
He did not know what kind of dream she was having.
Lu Huaiyu observed her for a while before he chuckled.
“She’s quite attractive…”
His voice was soft and deep, but Ning Li did not hear it. She merely leaned quietly into his embrace.
…
Two hours later, the plane landed at Yunzhou Airport.
Ning Li woke up in a trance and found herself leaning against Lu Huaiyu and his shoulder.
She immediately sat up straight and widened her eyes slightly.
It was one thing to sleep, but she had actually…
“You’re awake?”
There seemed to be a casual smile in Lu Huaiyu’s voice.
“I was just about to call you.”
With that, he stood up and took her suitcase down.
Ning Li unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him slowly.
She did not try to look at Lu Huaiyu’s expression, so she turned on her phone to distract herself.
Yunzhou Second High School released another piece of good news.
Ren Qian had just finished in fifth place in the National Mathematics Compet.i.tion Finals.
At the same time, they also announced the good news of him signing with Xijing University.
Everyone congratulated Ren Qian.
[ Qianzi has done well! I’m so happy! I’m so happy! ]
[ Xijing University’s mathematics department! I’m so envious! ]
[ This is the first person in our grade that has confirmed a place at Xijing University, right? Eh? Speaking of which, why haven’t Ning Li and Pei Song announced which universities they have signed with? ]
[ Yes! These two got first and second place in the whole country. They could pick any university in the country, so why haven’t we heard of where they have signed to? ]
Previously, when the results of the compet.i.tion had been announced, everyone was only concerned with admiration and envy. Coupled with the fact that they had all been focused on the gossip regarding Ye Ci, they had not had the time to think about this matter.
However, now that Ren Qian had also ended the compet.i.tion and announced the university that he had signed with, everyone suddenly remembered that Ning Li and Pei Song did not seem to have mentioned this.
After a while, Ren Qian replied.
[ Brother Pei did not sign up. ]
After the results of the compet.i.tion had come out, he had asked Pei Song about this matter, so it was relatively clear.
Everyone was in an uproar.
[ Did not sign? For real? ]
[ The cla.s.s monitor is the second-highest scorer in the country! Yet, he did not sign even this? ]
Ren Qian sent a shrug emoji.
[ Brother Pei said that he did not want to go to the Inst.i.tute of Physics. This must be the big boss. ]
Everyone was silent for a moment before they started to spam.
[ This must be the big boss. Spread your hands. jpg. ]
[ This must be the big boss. Spread your hands. jpg. ]
[ This must be the big boss. Spread your hands. jpg. ]
[ This must be– Wait, what about Ning Li? After all, being first in the whole country can’t just be a random choice of major, right? ]
Compared to Pei Song, Ning Li’s refusal to sign was even more strange.
A moment later, He Xiaochen, who had been diving, jumped out and said:
[ My deskmate said that it would be a pity if she couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in the college entrance exam. Smile. jpg. ]
The group fell into a dead silence.
After a long while, Ren Qian replied: [ Sorry for disturbing you. ]
The next line quickly followed.
[ Sorry for disturbing you. ]
[ Sorry for disturbing you. ]
[ Sorry for disturbing you. ]
Some people were completely speechless.
They had been desperately studying there, wis.h.i.+ng that they had been the ones who could have partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion to get a guaranteed place. In the end, these people gave it up just like that?
After a long while, someone interrupted.
[ Some people don’t want the guaranteed admission. Some people would do anything to get the guaranteed admission. The gap between people is really quite big. ]
Everyone was skimming the screen, and this sentence was quickly deleted.
However, everyone knew very well who they were talking about.
Ning Li followed behind Lu Huaiyu, looking at her phone as she walked.
When she walked out of the airport, she saw a familiar car parked by the roadside.
Cheng Xiyue was standing by the car, making a call.
When he saw Lu Huaiyu and Ning Li, he hung up the phone and greeted them with a smile.
“Sister Ning Li!”
Ning Li felt that Young Master Cheng, this part-time driver, was really quite dedicated…
“Brother Xiyue.”
She walked over.
Cheng Xiyue waved his phone.
“You did well in the exam, Sister Ning Li.”
First place in the national compet.i.tion, with full marks even. Tsk.
Even Zhou Fei had not gotten this score back then.
No wonder he thought so highly of Ning Li before.
He glanced at Lu Huaiyu.
He did not know how this man got to be so blessed.
“Ah Song.”
A car was parked beside them. A woman in her thirties came out of the driver’s seat. She seemed to be Pei Song’s family member.
Pei Song walked over.
Just as he was about to get into the car, he glanced at Ning Li.
“Ning Li, goodbye.”
Ning Li waved her hand.
“Goodbye.”
Lu Huaiyu pulled open the backseat door and lightly patted her head.
“Let’s go home.”
Ning Li got into the car, and Lu Huaiyu went to the pa.s.senger seat.
Cheng Xiyue looked thoughtfully at Pei Song.
The youth was tall and handsome, distant and cold.
He looked at Lu Huaiyu again and tsked.
Cheng Xiyue then drove the car away from the airport.
After driving some distance away, Cheng Xiyue looked at the rearview mirror and questioned with interest.
“Sister Ning Li, there are quite a lot of boys in your school who like you, right?”
Ning Li was currently looking at her phone. When she heard that, she was momentarily stunned and raised her head.
“It’s just alright.”
She did not know why Cheng Xiyue had suddenly asked this.
Lu Huaiyu was lounging on the pa.s.senger side.
When he heard that, he gave Cheng Xiyue an extremely indifferent look.
Cheng Xiyue did not mind watching the show.
“Then, you don’t have a favorite?”
