Su Ming was somewhat surprised to see Lin Chuyu visiting.

However, compared to his parents, he was quite calm.

“Su Ming, fellow student.”

Lin Chuyu walked in and greeted Su Ming.

“Chuyu, come in and take a seat.”

Su Ming spoke openly, just like he would with a friend.

“No thanks, I have things to do and will be leaving shortly.

I came to give you something.”

Lin Chuyu then took out two envelopes, one thick and one thin, and handed them to Su Ming.

“Alright, then I won’t keep you.”

Su Ming reached out and took them.

At this time, Lin Chuyu turned to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, bowed slightly, and very politely said,

“Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

“Are you leaving already, won’t you sit for a while?

Where are you heading after?

I’ll have the driver take you!”

Su Yuan said hastily, coming back to his senses.

“Yes!”

Zhao Ning liked Lin Chuyu more and more as she looked at her—not only was she beautiful, but she also had impeccable manners and poise.

No wonder her son was so enchanted.

“Thank you, Uncle and Auntie, but I really do have things to attend to, so I’ll not impose any further.”

Lin Chuyu tactfully refused.

“Alright, son, go see her out.”

Zhao Ning urged Su Ming quickly.

Su Ming immediately stepped forward and said to Lin Chuyu,

“Chuyu, I’ll walk you out.”

Lin Chuyu did not decline and followed Su Ming outside.

Soon, Su Ming had walked her to the door, and Lin Chuyu stopped, smiling as she said,

“Su Ming, this is far enough.”

“Sure, take care on your way.”

“Will do, oh and thanks for your help with the city exam this time.”

“You don’t have to be so formal, and if we’re really counting favors, I should also be thanking you.”

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

Lin Chuyu nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Su Ming stood at the doorway, watching as Lin Chuyu’s silhouette grew smaller and smaller in the distance.

Once she had disappeared from view, Su Ming turned and went back inside his home.

At this point, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning approached, looking at the envelopes in Su Ming’s hands with a smile and asked,

“Son, you’re holding letters, aren’t you?”

“They seem to be.”

Su Ming glanced at them and replied.

“Well, open them and take a look.”

Su Yuan urged Su Ming with a grin.

Su Ming saw that Su Yuan and Zhao Ning’s eyes were fixed on the envelopes in his hands and immediately understood they wanted to see.

He replied with a smile,

“Want to take a look?”

“Yes, yes!”

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning quickly nodded in response. freёweɓnovel.com

“No way.”

Su Ming shook his head in refusal and then walked into the house, returning to his own room.

“Son, no!

Let us give you some advice!”

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning hurriedly followed Su Ming.

The two of them followed all the way to the door of Su Ming’s room.

“Stop following me.

I’m not showing you.

I have my own privacy.”

After turning his head to speak to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, Su Ming walked into his room and closed the door.

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning looked at the tightly shut door, their faces showing a helpless expression, their son had grown up and now had secrets.

Just then, the closed door suddenly opened again, and Su Ming poked his head out to look at the two of them.

“Son, have you come around and decided to let us see it?”

Su Yuan asked, elated.

“No.

I just wanted to warn you not to peek.”

After saying this, Su Ming closed the door again.

Inside the room, Su Ming picked up two envelopes and walked to his desk.

He first opened the very thick envelope, which contained 12,100 Federation dollars.

Seeing the Federation dollars inside the envelope, Su Ming was not particularly surprised.

With Lin Chuyu’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t return the money at 100 Federation dollars an hour.

He set the money aside and turned his attention to the second envelope – this was the one that mattered.

Su Ming was also very curious; what could Lin Chuyu have written to him?

So, he reached out both hands to pick up the envelope.

But when he picked up the envelope, his face immediately showed an incredulous expression.

He found that his hands, uncontrollably, were trembling as they held the envelope.

“What’s happening?”

Su Ming was also extremely surprised; this body’s reaction was far too intense.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to control his shaking hands, but to little effect.

With trembling hands, Su Ming managed to open the envelope and took out an exquisitely delicate pink piece of stationery, filled with graceful writing.

“Su Ming, I didn’t notice your letter last time because of the special training and various reasons.

This time I’ve specially written a letter as a proper response.

First of all, I am very grateful for your affection.

You are a particularly nice person.

You are kind, brave, and sincere, like the sunshine in winter.

It’s just that I have my own compulsions and dreams that I must pursue, so for now I don’t intend to be involved in a relationship.

If one day I achieve my dreams, I will give it serious consideration.

Therefore, I hope we can become good friends, working hard and progressing together.

Of course, I also hope you can meet another girl who can stir your heart and fondness…”

After a long time, Su Ming set down the envelope on the table, his hands gradually returning to normal, and his turbulent heart calming down.

He looked at the neatly placed envelope and contemplated.

Now, there were two pieces of news; the good news was that Lin Chuyu had responded to his love letter.

The bad news seemed to be a ‘nice guy’ rejection!

Thinking about the ‘nice guy’ card, a bizarre expression crossed Su Ming’s face; it felt oddly strange.

About the dream that Lin Chuyu mentioned in her response, Su Ming felt it seemed like an excuse, but of course, he didn’t exclude the possibility that she genuinely had a dream she had to fulfill.

But no matter what, Su Ming still admired Lin Chuyu.

The girl was pretty, composed, very well-mannered, full of justice, kind, and brave.

Not everyone would take the risk of being eliminated in such an important city exam to rescue someone else.

It was nearly impossible to find faults with Lin Chuyu.

“Forget it, no more thinking about this.”

Su Ming shook his head.

The next morning.

Su Ming lay on the ground, hands cradling his head, laboriously doing sit-ups.

“27, 28…”

In front of him, a computer image projected on the wall.

The image featured the most recent hot topics and a special interview about the city exam.

A short-haired woman, dressed professionally and looking intellectual, was politely asking the famous educational expert Mr.

Nangis.

“Mr.

Nangis, what’s your take on this city exam practice?

So far, the old Federation has received a large number of complaints from sixteen districts.

They feel that this city exam reform is very abrupt and they were unprepared.

Moreover, due to the rudeness of the Imperial Court Sect, many students have been mentally affected and underperformed!

Particularly in the subsidiary subject assessments, it’s been an utter mess.”

“Dannie, as for the reform of this city exam, I don’t find it problematic; on the contrary, I think it’s a good change,”

Nangis thought for a moment before replying.

“Really?

All sixteen districts failed the subsidiary subject exams, and many have openly claimed on the internet that this task is impossible to complete.”

The host Dannie pressed on.
