Chapter 691: Youth, First Love Blossoms

Asking for 1.5 million as compensation is unreasonable. Plus, the design effect drawings are subjective judgments. 。The saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies here. If the other party...Zuo Yu'an's hand back had been bumped by her just now, it actually hurt a bit, but looking down at her slightly trembling head, he found it kind of cute. He forgot about his own pain and let her lean on him.

When the bus started again, Tinglan was startled to realize that her forehead was still pressed against his palm. She hurriedly looked up and whispered a thank you.

A girl in puberty isn't oblivious. Her soaring emotions and gaze that involuntarily follows him make her vaguely understand the reason for her own changes. The more she understands, the more flustered she feels, too scared to look at Zhuo YUANAN any longer. After getting off the bus, she deliberately kept a distance of two steps from him, afraid that her secret feelings would be discovered.

Zhuo Yu'an moved closer to her, and she immediately took a step back.

He approached, she moved away, and they walked like that, close then far, all the way to the school gate. He suddenly called her name.

"Shu Tinglan!"

Ting Lan paused her steps and looked at him beside her.

He kept smiling at her, as if he had been smiling at her ever since they met at the bus stop.

"What's going on" she said, a little flustered.

Zuo Yu'an pointed at her hand with his head: "My backpack!"

Tinglan followed his gaze to her own hand. She realized she had been carrying his backpack since getting off the bus. No wonder he had been trying to get closer to her this whole time—because of the backpack. She was so embarrassed, her toes curled up in their shoes.

Zhuo Yu'an came over and took his own backpack, then, extremely naturally, directly took the backpack off her back and carried it in his hand. It was so natural that it seemed like something he did every day.

"I'll carry it myself."

"It's alright, reciprocity is important." Zuo Yu

Ann said.

Listening to him, it sounded a little like he was teasing her about how she'd been carrying his backpack the whole way.

Her schoolbag hung from his hand, the dead rabbit inside swaying back and forth like her heartbeat.

Not until they reached the classroom door did Zhuo Yu'an return her school bag to her. She took it and walked to her own desk with her head down, her entire face still flushed and hot.

After a while, classmates gradually entered the classroom. Lu Kuo, who came in last, suddenly leaned over from the back row and glanced at her: "What have you done Why are you so flustered"

Very gossipy, very annoying. Tinglan turned her head and glared at him, ignoring him.

Cheng Chen also made a face at him, "What's it to you" Then he turned his head and looked up and down Tinglan. Her face was too red. But Tinglan covered her face with her left hand, propping herself up on the table. That little thought just popped up, it was her own secret, she didn't dare to tell anyone.

Throughout the entire class, my mind was wandering. Fortunately, it was a political science class, and since it was a midterm review with no new material, I didn't fall too far behind even though I daydreamed for the whole lesson.

But right before the midterm exams, she couldn't focus on studying at all. While she was in class, her mind would suddenly drift to Zhuo Yu'an's face; and while she was doing her homework, his smiling face would suddenly pop into her head.

Such uncontrolled emotions put her on edge. If Mom found out, she'd be in big trouble.

So when Zhuo Yuyan came to their class looking for Lu Kuo, she didn't even dare to raise her head, let alone look back at him. She just kept her head down, staring at her English book, pretending he didn't exist.

But those 26 letters were like special symbols; she couldn't make out a single word.

The two people at the back table ...

Whatever she said, he couldn't hear her. She seemed stiff and uncomfortable.

Lu Kuo nudged her shoulder: "Tinglan, I'm talking to you."

"Huh" she blushed and turned to look at Lu Kuò, confused.

“I said, after this midterm exam, I'll treat you guys to a movie, would you go The cinema next to the amusement park from last time.”

"Oh," she nodded blankly for a moment, looking foolish.

Then Zhu Yu'an laughed and asked, "Are you going"

She answered, “We’ll see.”

If you do well on the exam, everything will be fine. If you don't do well, your mother won't allow you to have any fun activities.

Have you gone over all your review notes yet asked Zhu YUAN again.

"What note" she retorted, and beside her Lu Kuo suddenly patted his own forehead.

“Sorry, sorry, I forgot to bring it out to share with you.”

As he spoke, he rummaged through his desk drawer, pulling out a brand new notebook from a pile of books and handing it to her and Cheng Chen.

"Why don't you take the test first before taking it out" Cheng Chen sarcastically said, tomorrow is the exam.

This notebook isn't that important anyway. After all, Zhuo Yu'an often tutors you guys in the first place and has already emphasized the key points.

That's right.

Tinglan was much more confident about this midterm exam than the last one because the scope of this exam was limited to what she had studied thoroughly, so she didn't have to cram.

The handwriting on his notebook was neat and orderly, just like him. No matter what the occasion, even when he wore a school uniform, he always gave off an impression of being clean, fresh, and tidy.

Tinglan discovered that even when she was looking at the words on his notebook, her heart would beat faster and her palms would sweat.

To keep herself from being distracted by the exam, she gave her notebook to Cheng Chen: "Here you go."

Out of sight, out of mind.

Zuo Yu'an doesn't care either, still smiling: "So confident in this exam"

"Hmm," she answered quietly, then went back to looking at her English textbook. It took her a long time before she turned a page.

Zhuo Yu'an also returned to his classroom to continue class.

This midterm exam was, as she had expected, within her grasp and she should be able to do well.

The day after the exam, it's the weekend, and both parents are at home resting.

Dad is making breakfast, and Mom is tidying up in her bedroom. Seeing the big bear by her bed, she just can't stand it.

"Lanlan, you should just throw it away. This bear is dusty, and if you hold it all day while sleeping, you'll easily get sick."

She rushed over to protect the bear: "Mom, you have to keep your word. If I make it into the top ten this time, this bear stays."

Mom glanced at her and asked, "So confident you'll definitely get in"

"I'm confident." She wasn't blindly confident or blindly modest, it was all based on facts. Anyway, she checked the answers after the exam and they matched, so it should be fine.

While having breakfast, Tian Lan, feeling a little guilty, hesitantly made a request to her mother: "Mom, since I just finished the exam, can I skip tutoring class today"

Mom glanced at her and smiled, "So you were waiting for me here It's okay if you don't go to tutoring class. Mom and Dad will take you out shopping and buy some delicious food."

Tinglan's voice became softer: "Chengchen and I made plans to go see a movie."

I feel guilty because I know what she really wants to see a movie for. It's not because of her date with Cheng Chen.
