Chapter 89
As Xu Lin resumed school, he instantly felt that school was a good place, although there were also bad students. But here is truly the cleanest place in ones life, aside from home. In society, one has to face many challenges.
In the new week, he continued with his regular routine of attending classes, exercising in the morning, and writing in the evening.
He also occasionally visited Teacher Guan to learn music. In order to balance his studies and writing, he spent 20,000 points to increase his intelligence, successfully reaching 7.2.
Although he originally had seemingly plenty of 75,000 points, he now only had 30,000 left.
Fortunately, Miss Jis favorability increased to 40 after their heartfelt conversation that night, making her the third person besides the two sisters in the Chu family to reach 40 favorability, earning him a large sum of 25,000 points.
In other news, Bai Xiao Xiaos mother was discharged from the hospital, and after taking a day off to take care of her father, she returned to school.
Chu Qingchan is busy preparing her song recording at Teacher Guans place, while Chu Fengyi temporarily left Linshui due to company matters but would return in a few days.
Teacher Su continued with her normal work routine, inviting him to have a meal together and taking a photo to show her parents, while also tempting him to come home for dinner.
On Saturday afternoon, the afternoon classes for the second-year high school students were changed to mock exams for Chinese, mathematics, and English, leaving some people happy and others worried.
Those who excelled in studies and those who struggled were happyone wasnt afraid, and the other wouldnt perform well anyway.
Mock exams were shorter than regular classes, allowing them to finish school earlier.
However, those with average grades were a bit confused if they dont perform well, they would have to deal with their parents and teachers.
Everyone, you have 30 minutes to prepare. This mock exam, we wont change classrooms, youll take the exam in your original seats. Dont cheat, the surveillance is on.
The teacher also reminded from the podium. Everyone took out their textbooks. As the saying goes, sharpen the axe before chopping the wood. Of course, if youre originally a wooden stick and not metal, no matter how much you sharpen it, it wont be very sharp, naturally, you still wont pass.
Just as Xu Lin was bored looking at his Chinese textbook, Li Bin gently pulled him.
Whats up?
Xu Lin, Ma Zhiyu didnt come today.
Yeah, he didnt come the day before yesterday either. I sent him a message asking, but he didnt say anything.
Xu Lin also recalled the strong smell of smoke on Ma Zhiyu last time. He himself doesnt smoke.
Although Ma Zhiyu isnt a very good student, he isnt a bad kid either. He had never been in a fight and didnt stir up trouble.
But recently, he skipped class twice. The teacher called his parents to come, but they didnt find out anything.
He hasnt talked to the two of them recently either. Xu Lin had planned to have a good chat with him, but he didnt come again today, something was wrong.
Xu Lin, Ill tell you something after the exam.
Okay.
Ji Yun on the side was also reading with her head down, but her attention was completely focused on Xu Lins side, but she only heard something about Ma Zhiyu not coming.
Xiao Jiyun, are you daydreaming again?ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
But shes happy and content, yet she wont compete with any girl who likes Xu Lin using unethical means.
Because she doesnt want to define her relationship with Xu Lin now; she has more important thingsstudy and her parents.
But she also doesnt want to give up. She suddenly feels that, emotionally, shes grown up a bit since that day, but Xu Lin doesnt need to know about it.
If one day he chooses another girl, shell quietly step back. She wont be overly saddened, nor will she let him know that she has been hurt.
The afternoon exam went smoothly; the underachievers slept, the high achievers finished early, and the average students scratched their heads.
At 5 p.m., with a bell, the exam was over. Xu Lin greeted Ji Yun but didnt wait for her to go back together. With his backpack on, he walked to the end of the corridor with Li Bin.
Is it about Ma Zhiyus situation? Xu Lin asked as soon as he came up.
Well, Xu Lin, do you think Ma Zhiyu is our good friend, our bro?
Of course, weve been in the same class since junior high, its been almost 5 years.
Ma Zhiyu might have been threatened.
Wait, what? Threats? Can you tell me whats going on?
Its about Ma Zhiyu. He stole someone elses girlfriend, who seems to be a second-rate figure in the underworld.
Damn! Are you serious?
I am.
I cant believe it. That guy who looks like a gaming shut-in actually snatched someones girlfriend who is from the underworld!?
I can only say hes impressive! But are you sure its not just a rumour?
Well, I heard theyve been out on dates several times
Li Bin, I feel like were really embarrassing. Ma Zhiyu actually got a head start in the romance game before us!
Yeah~ No, Xu Lin, what do you think we should do about this matter?
But even so, its normal for him to be beaten or something, but whats with this not coming to school?
Im not sure about that. Maybe we should call the police first
I dont think so. Hold on, lets go directly to him and see whats really going on?
Okay, Ill make a call and ask first!
Good.
