Chapter 12: Give me your ID number

Chapter 12

Lin Jianzhi had a crush on Zhu Liheng, but could not get into University A. This seemed like an insurmountable gap to her.

However, after Zhu Liheng's series of analyses, she worked backwards to narrow down Lin Jianzhi's strengths, abilities, and options.

Finally, she settled on University B, the one closest to University A!

Heavens! Lin Jianzhi was suddenly enlightened! Indeed, University A was completely unsuitable for her. It was a science and technology school.

University B was different. It was a comprehensive university, so she didn't need to longingly look at the 670 cutoff score for the physics exam.

To get into the language programs at University B, she only needed 635 points!

Most importantly, the two universities were separated by just one road.

She could be very close to Zhu Liheng, study her own specialty, and even choose her preferred career.

She could be by Zhu Liheng's side and be herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Jianzhi shook with excitement!

Zhu Liheng glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, a smile at the corner of her lips: "What's your ID number?"

Lin Jianzhi was shocked, not understanding why Zhu Liheng was asking her this.

Zhu Liheng: "To apply for the language programs at University B, similar to translation or foreign affairs, you need to take the provincial foreign language oral exam. Registration closes May 24th, and the exam is June 11th."

Lin Jianzhi stood there dumbly, somewhat fearful.

An oral exam?

She had no issues with spoken language, but oral exams were really not her forte!

Zhu Liheng stared at her: "You're afraid?"

Lin Jianzhi honestly nodded: "I tear up when I get nervous."

Zhu Liheng: "But the oral exam is a must. Otherwise, your choice of majors will be limited. Overcome the exam first, then after entering university, avoid majors with direct communication according to your situation and choose something more backend."

Lin Jianzhi nodded: "Okay."

Zhu Liheng: "Give me your ID number first and I'll help you sign up for the oral exam."

Lin Jianzhi mechanically recited her ID number, completely oblivious that her information had just fallen into Zhu Liheng's hands.

At midnight, the tutoring session ended.

Lin Jianzhi hugged her schoolbag and left Zhu Liheng's home, excitedly hopping around like a fawn at her own front door.

She felt as if the two of them had closed a huge gap in distance.

They'd become especially intimate!

And...

Lin Jianzhi looked down at her left wrist, which Zhu Liheng had grabbed earlier.

Late at night.

After showering, Zhu Liheng logged into Weibo and clicked on the only user she secretly followed.

Taken yesterday, showing Lin Jianzhi sitting in Zhu Liheng's passenger seat, milk tea in hand.

It was just a crappy sneak shot, too blurry to even make out that the people were Lin Jianzhi and Zhu Liheng.

But Lang Shu didn't care!

This was a rare "intimate moment" he'd managed to capture, the highlight for Class 2 of Senior Year 3 at Jingyi No.1 Middle School!

Zhu Liheng was their boyfriend. Did their class have one?

No! Jealous much?

The other students felt the photo was too blurry and would get them laughed at if shared, persistently urging the president to retake it today.

Lang Shu: "Retakes are a must! This will do for now!"

In the past few days, rumors had spread throughout the entire school. Now not only students from their grade came to gawk, but underclassmen from grades 1 and 2 loitered around their classroom door daily too.

Just to see what Zhu Liheng's girlfriend looked like!

Lin Jianzhi felt truly helpless, only able to move her desk to the furthest corner to ostrich.

She really wasn't Zhu Liheng's girlfriend!

The two didn't even have each other's WeChat!

After school, Lin Jianzhi was in no rush to leave. Instead, she went to buy milk tea.

Yesterday, Zhu Liheng had bought her milk tea, so she wanted to return the favor.

Amusingly, class president Lang Shu led a group to tail her the whole way, phone held high constantly on standby to snap pics.

His phone was nearly dead!

Lin Jianzhi kept explaining, "He's not coming today," while walking towards the bus stop.

Mu Yin immediately retorted, "Bullshit! You bought two milk teas! Zhu Liheng is definitely coming to pick you up!"

Lin Jianzhi sighed, "I was planning to treat him to milk tea, but I'm taking the bus home today."

Her mom had just messaged inviting Zhu Liheng over for dinner at their home.

Zhu Liheng had said yesterday that coming for dinner meant no need to buy groceries, so he wouldn't be coming to pick her up.

This bunch was destined to get excited for nothing!

Lin Jianzhi held two milk teas happily walking out of the shop, a trail of people behind her raising phones to record.

She kept explaining while walking towards the bus stop.

Unexpectedly at that moment—

Beep beep!

Two honks sounded from a car beside them.

An Audi A6 pulled up next to her, window rolled down.

Zhu Liheng rested her hand on the steering wheel, silently watching her.
