Volume 1: Childhood Friends Chapter 14: Childhood Sweethearts

  Su Lin, who ran out of the office, didn't dare to imagine Lin Qingxue's reaction. Su Lin used to be quite afraid of Lin Qingxue, but now that the problem of grades was no longer a problem, he naturally felt much more relaxed when facing Lin Qingxue. Moreover, after a few more years of high school graduation, if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to go crazy, can it still be called youth?

  "It seems like Teacher Lin still doesn't have a boyfriend, three years of high school and she's always dressed like this, pretending to be profound. No wonder she can't find a boyfriend, but on the other hand, Teacher Lin's figure and looks are top-notch, especially that pair of proud and full... it's simply not comparable to those little girls in class..."

  Su Lin is still lecherous, now even Teacher Lin, the class advisor, has been taken into consideration.

  "Huh? Time has increased by 5 seconds again, now it's 67 seconds. Is this the reward for just touching Lin teacher's chest? Ha...it's really a good deal."

  Now Su Lin's only reliance is his ability to pause time, and the more time he can use, the better.

  After hastily having lunch in the cafeteria, the subject of this afternoon's exam was language and literature, which can be said to be Su Lin's only strong point. Since childhood, Su Lin's writing has been good, and she has won many awards in various essay competitions, plus she often reads ancient books, so her classical Chinese foundation is also very good.

  So in the Chinese exam, Su Lin didn't rely on pausing time to cheat and was able to get over 110 points, which is basically an average level.

  The exam went smoothly, and the only questions that Su Lin didn't know were briefly paused for a few seconds to sneak a peek. However, it was clear that Su Lin felt that during the afternoon exam, some of the examinees in the same examination room would occasionally glance at him, especially the boys, whose eyes seemed to carry a strange implication.

  It's all because of what happened at noon, Qin Yanran and Su Lin's conversation.

  Qin Yanran's gaze at Su Lin was also very different from before, with a hint of doubt and curiosity. Especially since Su Lin still looked confident, this made Qin Yanran feel even more uneasy.

  What if it's really true and Su Lin actually got into the top 50 of her grade?

  But Su Lin didn't care about the gazes of these people. Moreover, explaining too much now wouldn't have any effect; once the exam results were announced, everything would be clear.

  Walking back home, when he arrived at the courtyard in front of his house, Su Lin felt a bit guilty and glanced over at Zhu Jiejie's house. The door was open, indicating that there was someone inside, but it wasn't clear whether it was Zhu Jiejie or Liang Yi.

  As usual, after school, Su Lin would habitually run to Ye Xingzhu's house, even if the door was closed, he would just push it open and go in. This had been a habit for over a decade, and entering Ye Xingzhu's house was more casual than entering his own home. However, since yesterday's incident, Su Lin suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

  "Today, Sister Zhu's door is open, she can't still be taking a bath, right?"

  Sulim walked stealthily towards the door of Zhu Jiejie's home, but unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, he heard the sound of Zhu Jiejie and her mother Liang Guizhu arguing.

  "Mom, I'm telling you, I won't go on any blind dates. What century is this? Still doing blind dates? As soon as I get back from work, you're already saying something so depressing."

  Ye Xingzhu's voice was somewhat impatient, and indeed, in the Ye family, this had been a long-standing topic of discussion. Liang Guiju had not spared any effort worrying about her only daughter's lifelong matter.

  "You silly girl, what's wrong with blind dating? Haven't you seen that TV show 'If You Are the One' hosted by those two bald guys? That's also blind dating! Blind dating is all the rage on TV, why do you think it's outdated? Besides, this time, really, your mom asked around. The guy's family owns an electronics factory in Xicheng District, they have a car and a house, many girls would kill to get married into that family, but you're not interested at all?"

  Liang Gui Zhu suppressed her temper and said after a while. But her stubborn daughter was not cooperating, pouting and saying: "Their family's good conditions are their own business, what does it have to do with me? Whoever wants to go on a blind date can go, I'm not going. Just got off work, starving to death, mom, hurry up and cook dinner."

  "Alas... You silly girl, how old are you now? Don't you know to consider your own future?"

  Lianguiju sighed, she couldn't figure out why her own daughter was so resistant to blind dates. Several times, she had arranged for matchmakers to set them up, but each time the other party was stood up, could it be that her own daughter already had someone in mind?

  Upon reconsideration, it seems unlikely that Liang Gui Zhu wouldn't know about Ye Xing Zhu's social circle. If her daughter had found someone she liked, she couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

  "Is it Director Qin from the hospital? Or Dr. Liu from the ENT department? Little Hu who drives, or that delivery guy Little Zhang? No, no... Our family's Zhuer may not be from a wealthy family, but she still has standards, so who will this mystery person be?"

  As she thought about it in her mind, suddenly, Liang Guiju recalled the events of yesterday and was shocked: "Could it be Xiao Lin from the Su family next door?"

  As soon as this idea came up, Liang Guiju couldn't shake it off, and it seemed more and more like that's what happened. Su Lin is not young this year either, he will be eighteen years old soon. The two of them have been growing up together since they were young, and with yesterday's events, it's even more suspicious.

  "No way, these two kids must have something going on. I need to have a good talk with Zhuer, Su Lin is still young and doesn't understand things, she can't not understand things anymore."

  Thinking of this, Liang Gui Zhu suddenly turned around and glared at her daughter Ye Xing Zhu, asking: "You little scoundrel, tell me, did you go flirt with Xiao Lin from the Su family next door?"

  "Huh?"

  Originally still occupying the rational and intimidating Ye Xingzhu, being asked by her own mother so suddenly, she was startled and shook for a moment, panicked for a while, then hurriedly pretended to be calm and replied: "Mom, why do you talk like that? What's with saying I'm seducing Xiao Lin? Xiao Lin and I are like siblings, where did you get that idea?"

  "Really just siblings? Hmph... Don't think Mom doesn't know anything, yesterday you really were alone in the bathroom taking a bath?"

  Actually, Liang Gui Zhu just relied on Su Lin's school bag and couldn't confirm whether Su Lin was with Ye Xingzhu in the bathroom yesterday. But as soon as she said that, Ye Xingzhu immediately showed a flustered expression: "Mom, don't talk nonsense, I... how could I possibly take a bath with Xiao Lin, you... you're just talking nonsense."

  Seeing the flustered expression on her daughter's face, a mother knows her child best. Liang Gui Zhu already had an answer in her heart, so she didn't continue to ask further, but only reminded Ye Xing Zhu: "You must have a clear conscience."

  After finishing speaking, Liang Gui Zhu went to cook, leaving Ye Xing Zhu being said by her this time words made heart messy.

  However, there was another person who was also frightened by Liang Gui Zhu's words. It was Su Lin, who was eavesdropping outside the door. When he heard Ye Mu Liang Gui Zhu say "Yesterday, were you really alone in the bathroom?", he almost ran away immediately.

  And Ye Xingzhu's answer, in Su Lin's opinion, was even more self-incriminating. Clearly, Ye Mu hadn't said it was Su Lin, but Ye Xingzhu had brought it up herself while defending, what was this if not "this place has no silver three hundred taels"?

  "Oh no! My bamboo sister! Now we'll be completely misunderstood by Aunt Liang!"

  Su Lin was anxious outside the door, thinking about how to eliminate Liang Gui Zhu's misunderstanding. If both families met and his mother found out about this matter, she would beat him up terribly.

  "Hey, Su Lin you little scoundrel..."

  Ye Xingzhu was alone in the house, pouting and muttering to herself, her fists clenched tightly. Still wearing her nurse's uniform from work, which she hadn't had a chance to change out of yet, she paced back and forth in the room, suddenly stopping at the door.

  "No good, hurry up and hide, otherwise Sister Zhu will see us."

  Su Lin just wanted to run, but it was already too late. He was caught by the sharp-eyed Ye Xingzhu and shouted: "Su Lin, you little rascal hiding outside the door, what are you sneaking around for?"

  With a big sister's demeanor, settling new and old scores at once, Ye Xingzhu stepped forward and grabbed Su Lin's ear, excitedly rising and falling on her chest.

  "Ow... it hurts... Sister Zhu, let go, let go..."

  Su Lin hastily begged for mercy, but his eyes were staring at Ye Xingzhu's white nurse uniform package under the towering, swallowing saliva, stretching out his own salty pig hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhu, if you don't let go, I'm afraid my recently successful grab milk dragon claw hand will..."

  As expected, with this threat, Ye Xingzhu shouted and quickly let go, hastily retreating two steps back, getting angry and jumping up and down beside Su Lin, gritting his teeth tightly and saying: "Su Lin, you damn scoundrel."

  "Sister Zhang, don't wrongly accuse me! I didn't do anything, not even touch you. On the contrary, you, to a minor like me who's still in his youth, suddenly became so ruthless... If this were to be exposed to those paparazzi reporters, they would definitely be able to write a bestselling article titled 'Perverted Little Nurse Abuses Beautiful Young Boy'..."

  "You... little brat, who did you say is the perverted nurse? Are your bones itching or something? It's been too long since sister last disciplined you, haven't had a good scolding in three days, have you?"

  This remark made Ye Xingzhu so angry that she waved her small fist and didn't care about Su Lin's grasping dragon claw hand. She quickly stepped forward and heavily pounded Su Lin's little head.

  Bang!

  Crackling and loud, Su Lin covered her head with a painful expression: "Perverted nurse, if you make me stupid, I'll blame you for not doing well on the college entrance exam."

  "Smelly rascal, saying... come and eat me again..."

  Ye Xingzhu puffed out her chest, glared with her eyes and moved forward, but now Su Lin was on guard, not about to let her succeed easily. The two exchanged blows, one move grabbing the Dragon Claw Hand that ruthlessly reached out.

  Su Lin reached out and grabbed, Ye Xingzhu couldn't dodge in time and had to sidestep, but unfortunately, she was carrying a pair of large objects, and even though she turned her body, Su Lin still managed to grab them properly. What's more hateful is that this little scoundrel Su Lin actually didn't show any courtesy and pinched hard.

  This pinch is unbearable! Ye Xingzhu suddenly felt his body go soft, and he lost all his strength. He had already lost his balance when he turned his body to the side, and now even the strength to maintain his balance was gone due to Su Lin's pinch. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, Ye Xingzhu mustered up his last bit of energy and grabbed onto Su Lin's wrist.

  "Ah......oh......"

  Su Lin was suddenly pulled, how could he maintain his balance, and inevitably fell to the ground, just facing Ye Xingzhu. With a bang, Ye Xingzhu fell to the ground, and Su Lin also fell straight on her body. Especially, Su Lin's mouth happened to touch Ye Xingzhu's small mouth, and Su Lin's hand was still grasping Ye Xingzhu's chest at this time.
