The First Volume: Classmate and Youth Chapter 30: The Results Are About To Be Announced

  "It's all over! How am I going to explain this to Mom now?! She'll never believe me. The thing is, Su Lin is still my student, and with Mom's temper, she'll definitely scold me to death, saying that... an old cow eating tender grass..."

  With a bang, the bedroom door was pushed open by Lin Mu Wu Caiying. Lin Qingxue covered her eyes with her hands and quickly thought of an excuse to explain to her mother.

  "Huh? Nobody? Could it be that I really guessed wrong?"

  Pushing the door open, Wu Qiaoying was stunned. The bedroom was empty, with no one inside, and there was only one pillow on the bed, clearly showing that only Lin Qingxue had slept here.

  "Mom, I've told you before. In my room, there's not even a single male mosquito, let alone a man."

  Lin Qingxue had just seen Su Lin hiding in the bedroom, but now Su Lin was nowhere to be found. Obviously, he must have hidden inside the only place in the room where a person could hide - the large wardrobe.

  "What! Mom thought you'd finally come to your senses and learned how to find a man. Looks like it's another disappointment. Qingxue, you're already 24 this year, women are worth less the older they get, mom has been nagging for three years since you graduated from college."

  Lin's mother sighed and said, but still looked around the bedroom with a suspicious gaze.

  "Alright, alright, mom I know, I know. I didn't say that I wouldn't find a boyfriend or get married for the rest of my life, it's just that these things still depend on fate, and even if I'm anxious, it won't come any sooner. What was that saying again? When the time is right, everything will fall into place naturally. Mom, you must be hungry since you came so early! Let me make breakfast for you."

  Afraid that her mother would discover Su Lin hiding in the closet, Lin Qingxue hastily pushed her mother towards the living room while explaining.

  In the wardrobe, Lin Qingxue's guess was correct.

  This wardrobe isn't particularly large, but it holds all of Lin Qingxue's clothes. However, after Su Lin counted them, she found that there were only a few sets of formal wear and one or two casual outfits, the rest were all undergarments. Compared to other girls, Lin Qingxue's clothes can be said to be scarce.

  "No wonder Lin teacher hasn't changed her style in three years, it turns out she only has this little clothes, and they are all the same style."

  Squeezed inside the wardrobe, the space was a bit cramped, and Su Lin had to lower her head, feeling stifled. However, the scent was still very pleasant, with a fragrance wafting through the entire wardrobe that Su Lin was extremely familiar with - it was the unique scent of Lin Qingxue's body. It was light, yet very pleasant, and addictive.

  "Eh! How can Teacher Lin's even her underwear and bra be so conservative?"

  Although hiding in the closet, Su Lin's hands were not idle, lightly flipping through Lin Qingxue's underwear in the closet, and they were all thick traditional styles, looking solid and monotonous, without any romantic flavor.

  As she was flipping through, Su Lin accidentally knocked her elbow against the cabinet wall with a thud.

  "What sound?"

  Lin's mother, who was about to leave the bedroom, immediately focused her attention on the only wardrobe in the room upon hearing this.

  "Clear up the snow, you go make breakfast first! Mom will help you tidy up your wardrobe."

  It's clear that Lin Mu had already suspected someone was hiding in the closet and deliberately made up an excuse.

  "It's okay! Mom, I've already put away my clothes neatly."

  Lin Qingxue naturally knew her mother's thoughts and tried to stop her, but Lin Mu had already become suspicious. It wasn't that easy to eliminate the suspicion, so she insisted on opening it to take a look.

  "Damn it. It's all because I made too big a move..."

  Su Lin was in the wardrobe, and naturally heard the conversation between the mother and daughter outside clearly. She also knew that her mother would soon open the wardrobe door, and she would definitely be discovered.

  "Right! I can pause time! That way, I can run out first."

  The situation was extremely urgent, but Su Lin noticed that the number in the upper right corner of his vision was now sixty. It turned out that after passing midnight last night, time had automatically increased by sixty seconds.

  "Mom, don't open... don't open... I... I'll be honest with you..."

  Lin Qingxue had steeled herself several times, closing her eyes and preparing to confess to her mother. But before she could finish speaking, Lin's mother suddenly flung open the cupboard door.

  Inside the kitchen, there is still no one, only clothes. However, these clothes are all messy and disorderly, as if they were randomly piled in.

  "You silly girl, you say it's not messy, but look at the wardrobe, it's like a chicken coop. A girl's home, even if she lives alone, should be elegant and tidy, inside and out."

  As she spoke, Lin's mother helped Lin Qingxue tidy up her wardrobe.

  "Isn't Su Lin inside?"

  Looking at the messy clothes in front of her, Lin Qingxue could be certain that Su Lin had been hiding inside before, otherwise the clothes wouldn't have been so messy. But now, where did Su Lin go?

  "Phew... that was close. This place isn't suitable for a long stay, and I only have sixty seconds to spare, now there are over forty seconds left, it seems like the daily sixty seconds is still not enough."

  After pausing for over ten seconds, Su Lin slipped out of the closet and was now in the living room. Su Lin wanted to leave immediately, but he was still wearing Lin Qingxue's pajamas. He rushed to the bathroom to look for his clothes, only to find that Lin Qingxue had washed the clothes he got wet yesterday evening and hung them on the balcony to dry with a washing machine.

  "Unexpectedly, Teacher Lin also has a day for washing clothes."

  Looking at his own pants and shirt hanging on the balcony, Su Lin felt a little proud in his heart, as if he really felt that Lin Qingxue had become his own little wife.

  "Hurry up and put on your clothes, or else the pause time will be over and I'll really be left looking like a fool."

  Taking advantage of Lin Qingxue and her mother being in the bedroom, Su Lin didn't dare to stay for long. She quickly changed into her own clothes and then quietly opened the door and left Lin Qingxue's home.

  "This day was really too exciting, too thrilling."

  After leaving Lin Qingxue's house, Su Lin originally relaxed his tense nerves and thought back to the entire experience from yesterday to today, savoring it endlessly. Although there were many thrilling scenes, overall, he was a hero saving a beauty, and almost had a relationship with Teacher Lin, even taking the initiative to teach Teacher Lin how to do that kind of thing, how could Su Lin not be thrilled?

  Had a casual breakfast at a street stall and walked to school, surprisingly it was not even 7 o'clock yet. It can be said that this is the earliest day Su Lin has arrived at high school.

  As he walked to the door of Class 3 (2), Su Lin had already heard the sound of morning reading coming from inside.

  "Someone has already arrived in class so early?"

  The voice was very familiar and pleasant to hear. Su Lin walked into the classroom, and it turned out to be Qin Yanran.

  "Sulin?"

  Qin Yanran had just arrived in the classroom and started reading early, but when she saw Su Lin arrive so early today, she was also stunned.

  Because the exam just finished yesterday, many classmates relaxed and gave themselves a holiday, sleeping in late and not coming to class so early. But Qin Yanran was strict with herself, as usual, going out before 6 o'clock to come to school for morning reading. So by now it's almost 7 o'clock, but the classroom of Class 3 (2) is empty except for Qin Yanran.

  But now, Su Lin is actually the second person to arrive in class. That's right, not others, but Su Lin who often rushes into the classroom after the bell rings and is almost late every day, arrived at the classroom before 7 o'clock today.

  "Could it be... that Su Lin is really going to work hard and study for me?"

  It was inevitable that Qin Yanran's ears would echo with Su Lin's words from the day before yesterday in front of hundreds of people: "Today, Qin Yanran, I, Su Lin, confess to you. I know you will reject me, you look down on me, but wait and see, I, Su Lin, will become excellent, more excellent than everyone here! Because... I just like you!"

  Because of liking someone, changing oneself, making efforts for the one you like is more important than loving yourself. Striving hard with all your might for the one you like.

  Without saying a word, Qin Yanran simply lifted her head and quietly watched Su Lin walk into the classroom. Looking at Su Lin's two dark eye circles due to lack of sleep, a complex feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on surged up in her heart. Qin Yanran discovered that she was actually moved by this "inferior student" who she had never paid attention to before.

  For the first time, Su Lin was being scrutinized by Qin Yanran so proactively, and he felt a bit unnatural instead. Especially, Su Lin felt that Qin Yanran's eyes today were somewhat strange, not like the usual cold and icy or sharp and revealing look, but seemed to carry a hint of softness.

  "Class... Class President... Is there something on my face?"

  Walking up to Qin Yanran's face, Su Lin was stared at by Qin Yanran like this and also said somewhat unnaturally.

  "Nothing..."

  She quickly turned her head around, and only then did Qin Yanran feel that she had lost her composure. She was staring at a boy like that, and what's more, she had been looking for so long. It really wasn't like herself.

  The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Su Lin also scolded himself secretly for saying something so inopportune. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Class Monitor, these two days, the results of each subject will be announced one after another. At the latest, the ranking of our grade will be announced tomorrow, and at that time... does our agreement still count?"

  "As long as you get into the top 50 of your grade."

  Qin Yanran didn't dare to look into Su Lin's eyes, and when she said this sentence, she suddenly felt a little uncertain. In her heart, she wondered: "Su Lin brought up this matter again, could it be that he really has confidence in getting into the top 50 of the grade?"

  Qin Yanran was a bit worried, but at the same time, she found herself expecting to see Su Lin's results really take off as he said, even if it wasn't in the top 50 or top 100 of the grade.
