Chapter 4
At the traffic lights at the crossroads, Zhu Liheng's car was checked for his driver's license, ID card, and trunk by the police officer.
The police uncle stared at Lin Jianzhi and educated her intensely: "Although you are an adult now, you still need to be responsible for yourself and not just casually get into any car, especially with the recent brazen 'high-value scam' behavior going around, you need to be extremely careful..."
Lin Jianzhi numbly raised her head: "Officer, I'm going to be late for school."
The police was clearly taken aback for a moment and asked: "So you were crying because you didn't want to be late?"
Lin Jianzhi nodded: "I'm a high school senior. I have a math test this morning."
The police blinked and took a look at the time before letting them go. High school students need to get to tests on time!
The two got back into the car.
After hesitating for a bit, Lin Jianzhi sat in the passenger seat. She was gripping her schoolbag tightly with both hands, so tight that they turned white.
She felt that being this close to him was really too much!
Her heart was frantically speeding up, practically jumping out of her throat.
She secretly glanced at the person to her left. She realized Zhu Liheng had a expressionless face and was very silent.
Lin Jianzhi's eyes instantly dimmed.
Is he angry?
Sure enough, I've caused trouble for him.
The car smoothly drove into the school and stopped outside the classroom building.
The quiet campus was very peaceful. Because they were held up at the crossroads, the time for getting to school had long passed. All the students were already in the classrooms.
Lin Jianzhi said thanks and got out of the car, not even daring to look at his expression.
She truly felt that she was silly and foolish!
Unexpectedly, the car door closing sound came right after her.
Lin Jianzhi looked back in surprise and saw that Zhu Liheng had also gotten out of the car. He gave her a "don't worry" look.
Zhu Liheng: "I'll explain the situation to them. Teacher Hu won't scold you."
...
On the third floor of the high school senior 2 class, Mu Yin sat by the windowsill, twirling a pen while gazing out the window with boredom.
Damn math morning quiz!
Clatter!
Her pen dropped to the ground. She gaped out the window with eyes wide open, wishing she could stick her whole head out to get a better look.
A black sedan stopped below after driving into the school. Right after, Zhu Liheng and Lin Jianzhi got out from both sides of the car!
Holy crap!
Mu Yin nearly screamed!
She quickly glanced towards the classroom door. Sure enough, not long after, Lin Jianzhi appeared.
The head teacher Hu Tan was sitting at the podium proctoring the test. His sharp gaze glared over: "Lin Jianzhi! ...Oh?"
"Lin Jianzhi! I saw you get out of Zhu Liheng's car! You were sitting in the passenger seat!!!"
Lin Jianzhi blankly looked at Mu Yin, panic making her almost forget how to speak Chinese.
The surrounding classmates exploded even more, emitting all kinds of exaggerated monkey screeches.
"Passenger seat, oo-ah-ah!"
"With Zhu Liheng coming for a school visit, seems like it was just accompanying his girlfriend to study for college exams!"
"Wow damn! Lin Jianzhi got Zhu Liheng!"
"Lin Jianzhi is dating Zhu Liheng!"
"Lin Jianzhi! What's it like dating the hottest guy at school?"
"... "
Lin Jianzhi didn't know what to do, waving her hands in panic while frantically explaining: "No! It's not! We're not boyfriend and girlfriend! Not dating!"
Lang Shu: "Then how did you end up in his passenger seat? Zhu Liheng isn't free time, yet he even sent you to school!"
Lin Jianzhi practically shouted: "We live in the upstairs and downstairs apartments!"
The classroom quieted for one second, but soon resumed the clamor.
"Dang, I haven't seen my neighbor for over 10 years, let alone know what they look like, much less one that would drive me to school!"
"What kind of neighbor personally drives someone to school? That is clearly just an excuse!"
"My god, close access means opportunities! No wonder you got together!"
"I had a flash of inspiration, going to write a novel called 'Me and My School Prince Charming Neighbor'..."
"Hands off that novel, I'm gonna write it!"
"..."
The plot ran increasingly off the rails, with more and more exaggerated monkey screams. The entire class started losing their minds.
Lin Jianzhi was really going to pass out from panic!
She didn't even know why it developed this way, both anxious and confused.
Dating?
Zhu Liheng?
She didn't even dare to imagine it! Why would he possibly like someone like her...
If Zhu Liheng found out about this misunderstanding, then what?
What would he think?
How would he see her?
Not okay!
This was truly too shameful!
At this moment, Lin Jianzhi hated that she couldn't find a seam to hide away in, not daring to face anyone.
