Huo Jincheng didn’t say which kind of wine.
Or maybe he drank both kinds.
"Alright then, I really have to hang up now." Lu Xingzhi was quite pleased with Huo Jincheng’s approach, but she wouldn’t tell him that.
When Lu Xingzhi hung up the phone and returned, Ke Yanchu teased, "Little Zhi Liao, was that a call from your Uncle?"
"Wow! It’s only been half a day, right? And you’re already missing each other so much. Is this what they call the legendary overbearing CEO obsessively doting on his wife?" Ever since the high school exams ended, Ke Yanchu had completely liberated her true nature, reading novels every day.
"You’re wrong, I’m not married yet." Lu Xingzhi corrected her.
"Close enough, doting is doting. If not now, then in a couple of years." Ke Yanchu finished another Chapter of her novel and, seeing that her favorite author had updated today, finally put her phone down.
The next morning, Lu Xingzhi was awakened by Ke Yanchu’s scream.
"Oh my god! Yanzi, did you have a nightmare?" Xiong Yali rubbed her temples, annoyed at being woken up so fearfully from her dreams first thing in the morning.
"It’s scarier than a nightmare! I just habitually checked my phone, and now I feel emotionally and mentally wrecked. I can’t join the military training now. I currently feel extremely uncomfortable inside." Ke Yanchu had sat up in shock and then lay back down again.
She felt a deep sense of malice from the world.
She was now questioning life.
"What’s going on?" Xiong Yali asked impatiently, scratching her head.
"Yeah! Yanzi, what happened?" Liu Bailu also asked worriedly.
"Don’t ask anything, you guys will see for yourselves anyway." Ke Yanchu turned over, lying on her bed.
"Hurry up and explain. I hate it when people only speak halfway." Xiong Yali was quick-tempered and couldn’t stand it.
"Was it Little Zhi who hurt you? Sigh!" Ke Yanchu finally sighed and said.
"Me?" Lu Xingzhi looked innocent, "What did I do to you?"
"Just look for yourselves!" Ke Yanchu showed them an open news article.
And then they saw what the so-called harm Lu Xingzhi did to Ke Yanchu was all about.
Xiong Yali doubted her eyes, rubbed them, and looked again, completely shocked.
She then seriously stared at Lu Xingzhi for a few seconds, looking quite hurt, "Little Zhi Liao, are you really the top scorer in the high school arts exam?"
"Mm-hmm." Lu Xingzhi nodded.
Liu Bailu, hearing their conversation, also glanced at the news notification. Her gaze towards Lu Xingzhi was quite complex.
"Little Zhi Liao, did you really not add any extra credit?" Liu Bailu, who always judged by grades, wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she had an academic charm.
She thought her grades were the best among her roommates. Yesterday when Lu Xingzhi said she was the top scorer, they all thought she was joking.
Now they realized they were the joke.
"Yes, no extra credit." Lu Xingzhi wasn’t bothered.
"Little Zhi Liao, I need to interview you. How did you get to be number one?" Xiong Yali, who got in with extra credit, really admired people with good grades.
"Because the first place comes with a hefty scholarship." Lu Xingzhi said bluntly.
