The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned Novel - Chapter 331

Chapter 331: The Resort

Two hours later, they arrived at the resort in the west of the city.

They got out of the bus one after another and took their room cards. They put their luggage in their rooms before coming out to gather.

The rooms had been arranged long ago. The people who divided the rooms were the form teachers of the various classes.

Yan Jinyu and Tan Shiyun were in the same room.

Although it was only a standard room, the environment was not bad. After all, it was a resort farm chosen by an elite school. The facilities were complete and the environment was elegant.

There was a small balcony.

Yan Jinyu took out a clean four-piece bedding set from her luggage and changed the blanket’s cover. This was a habit she had developed after being influenced by Yin Jiujin during the time she was with him.

In the past, she wouldn’t have had the mood to do that.

After changing the bedsheets, she took out the toiletries from her luggage. Then, she picked up her phone and walked to the balcony to make a call.

A video call.

Yin Jiujin had requested her to video call him after she was done setting up here. He wanted to see the environment.

“Brother Nine, I’ve arrived.”

She spun her phone around. “Look, the environment here is not bad, right?”

“Yes, not bad.” Yin Jiujin looked at the surroundings seriously. “You live on the third floor?”

Yan Jinyu’s video didn’t capture the exact number of floors. Yin Jiujin had analyzed it based on the images he saw upstairs and downstairs.

“Yes, the highest floor here is the fifth floor, so the third floor isn’t considered high.”

“I won’t bring Brother Nine around the room. It’s a two-person room. It’s not convenient with my classmate around.”

After packing up, Tan Shiyun, who was about to come to the balcony to call her to go down, happened to hear her words. She smiled and said, “Jinyu, actually, it’s fine. If he wants to see it, I’ll stand on the balcony for a while.”

Yan Jinyu turned back and smiled at her, “It’s alright, thank you.”

Other than her belongings, there were also Tan Shiyun’s belongings in the room. She wasn’t around, but her things were still there. This video would make her feel like Yin Jiujin was visiting another woman’s room.

She didn’t like it.

That’s right, she was being petty.

“I’ll make a call first.”

Tan Shiyun understood what she meant. She wanted to talk on the phone alone. “Alright, I’ll wait in the room for you to go downstairs together.”

She turned around and returned to the room. When she turned back, she saw Yan Jinyu holding her phone and talking to the person in the video. She didn’t know what she was saying, but her smile was more sincere and bright than usual.

She looked a little dazed and cute.

Her tone was not as indifferent as usual. If one listened carefully, they would find that she was acting coyly.

It turned out that the number one killer had such a girly side too.

She had always thought that Yan Jinyu’s innocent and harmless smile in school was already surprising enough. She didn’t expect…

Yes, no matter what, Yan Jinyu was only 18 years old.

She was the same age as her.

No matter how much an 18-year-old girl had experienced, she would still have her innocent, naive, and cute side in front of a certain person.

Yan Jinyu must have loved Master Nine very much.

And Master Nine must have treated her very well too.

That was an extremely busy person, but yet he still had the mood to video chat with the girl. It was not a business matter. He was just looking at the environment where the girl had gone out to play and stay.

She heard that Master Nine had business to attend to. Since he needed to go personally, it must be something important. He must be very busy these few days, but he still took the time to video call Yan Jinyu.

It seemed like he would pick up whenever Yan Jinyu called.

Such a relationship was really enviable.

Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin actually didn’t say anything much. She only saw that Yin Jiujin seemed a little haggard and couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Nine, why do you look tired? Did you stay up late last night? Didn’t you go back to the hotel to sleep properly?”

“I saw that you were still wearing your clothes from last night. You really didn’t go back? Were you busy in the office all night?” As she spoke, she pouted unhappily.

Her tone was reproachful and coquettish.

“No, don’t make wild guesses. It’s just that there’s too much to do. I woke up a little early in the morning and looked a little tired. As for the clothes, didn’t you know that I had a few identical shirts? I changed into the same ones as last night.”

“Really?” Yan Jinyu still didn’t believe him.

“Why would I lie to you?” Yin Jiujin chuckled. “Little Yu’er, didn’t you just say last night that I have to take good care of myself so that I can take good care of you?”

“Of course, I have to listen to you.”

Yan Jinyu glared at him angrily.

“You’re not wearing a dress today?” After she got together with Yin Jiujin, Yan Jinyu mostly wore skirts and rarely wore casual clothes.

“I’m out playing. It’s not convenient to wear a dress.”

“Brother Nine, do I look good in these clothes?” As she spoke, she raised her phone and spun around.

Her white shoes were paired with ordinary black pants, a white t-shirt, and a bright-colored long shirt. The shirt was tied to her waist with a knot.

Her long hair hung down to her waist, making her look youthful and beautiful.

“You look good no matter what.”

Yan Jinyu rolled her eyes at him. “You’re being perfunctory.”

“I’m not being perfunctory. I’m telling the truth.”

He said it quite seriously. His beautiful and deep eyes stared at her, making Yan Jinyu feel embarrassed.

“Alright, alright. I believe you.”

“It’s mainly because I’m good-looking that I look good in anything.”

Yin Jiujin pursed his lips and chuckled. “Yes, you’re good-looking.”

“Alright, Brother Nine, I won’t talk to you anymore. I don’t like to make people wait. My classmate is still waiting for me to go downstairs together. You have to arrange your time appropriately. Work hard and rest well.”

“Yes, go ahead now.”

He even added, “It seems like you get along very well with your classmates. I’m relieved. Did you choose your roommates yourself?”

“I didn’t. The school arranged it. But Brother Nine, don’t worry. The person who is assigned to the same room as me is our class monitor. She’s very easy to get along with.”

“That’s good.”

After hanging up, Yan Jinyu put away her phone.

After returning to her room, Tan Shiyun, who was sitting on the bed and looking at her phone, looked up. “Are you done?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

The two of them took their small sling bags and went downstairs.

On the other side, Yin Jiujin rubbed his glabella after hanging up.

He had indeed been busy in the office for the entire night.

It was not to the extent that he could not open his eyes, but it was indeed the aftereffect of staying up all night. She was a little tired.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

It was Lin Zimu. He was carrying a stack of documents.

“Boss, I’m done with my work. You…”

“Get the other party to meet up at two in the afternoon. I won’t be waiting if they’re late.”

Lin Zimu had no objections to Yin Jiujin’s orders. “Alright, I’ll do it now.” The boss had compressed the three-day workload into one and a half days.

However, when he thought of what his boss had asked him to investigate last night, he didn’t dare to delay and worked overtime as well.

***

“The school organized this event to let everyone relax, so there aren’t so many clauses. The theme today is barbecue. Everyone can do it yourself. If you want, you can even go to the farm to pick the ingredients. If you don’t like barbecue, the farm has prepared a buffet. Anyway, before six, it’s your free time.”

“Everyone, gather on the lawn outside at six o’clock sharp. We’ll organize a small outdoor party. You can arrange the show yourself. The students are willing to go on stage to perform.” The students of an elite school had plenty of talents. Most of their families arranged for them to learn a lot when they were young.

After the dean of students, Zheng Hu, gave his speech, the students were dismissed.

Yan Jinyu wasn’t interested in barbeque, nor was she interested in picking the ingredients.

She got out a bottle of yogurt from the vending machine beside her and took a sip. She was prepared to walk around.

She was used to investigating the terrain first when she arrived at a new place.

Even before she came over, she had already carefully looked at the map of this farm.

Just as she was about to walk out of the hall, someone called out, “Student Yan Jinyu.”

Turning back, it was Zheng Hu.

She covered the yogurt and greeted him politely, “Dean.”

“You’re not playing with the other students?” He had found her alone.

“Not really. I think the environment here is good and I’m planning to walk around. However, it seems like the other students are more enthusiastic about barbeque and picking the ingredients, so I couldn’t find a companion.” She was just spouting nonsense. She actually didn’t intend to go along with anyone.

“Then you can go pick the ingredients with everyone. You can also look around when you pick the ingredients.”

“I think I’d better not to. For these young ladies and young masters who have led a luxurious life since they were young, it’s very fun to go to the vegetable garden to pick the ingredients themselves. But I’m already tired of doing such things. Now that I finally have a good life, I don’t want to reminisce about it at all.”

“…” Zheng Hu. There was nothing wrong with what she said. It even made him feel a little sad.

Most importantly, she had a smile on her face when she said these words without any complaints as if she was saying something unimportant. It made people feel even more uncomfortable when they heard it.

“Alright then. There’s a buffet restaurant over there if you’re hungry later.”

“Alright, thank you, Dean.”

“…By the way, what happened with you… and Yan Jinyun yesterday?” Zheng Hu came to look for Yan Jinyu mainly for this matter.

However, he didn’t say it directly because he was afraid that mentioning it would hurt Yan Jinyu.

Cutting off ties with her family and falling out with her biological sister would more or less affect her mood.

Most importantly, he even found out from the principal that Master Nine had gone on a business trip.

In other words, Yan Jinyu didn’t even have anyone to complain to yesterday.

“I saw the video on the forum and called Yan Jinyun to check on her. Her injuries aren’t serious, but she’s still injured. She has to stay in the hospital for a few days.”

“I ain’t blaming you either, but your actions are indeed not appropriate. If there’s anything in the future, you can say it clearly. There’s no need to act out. If you make a move, the other person might be seriously injured. The injured person suffers but the person who makes the move will also be in trouble.”

“It’s not convenient for me to interfere in your private matters. I just hope that you people will be rational and not regret it later.”

“If possible, I hope that you can go to the hospital to visit Student Yan Jinyun and talk about this matter when we all go back after this trip.”

“Yan Jinyun cares about you too, that’s why…”

“I know. Thank you, Dean,” Yan Jinyu interrupted Zheng Hu. She looked a little impatient, but because the other party was an elder, her tone wasn’t harsh.

At least, it seemed like that to the people around them.

Zheng Hu sighed heavily. Forget it. He couldn’t interfere in these matters.

Every family had its own difficulties!

He waved his hand. “It’s good that you know. If you want to walk around, go ahead. Be careful.”

Yan Jinyu smiled and thanked him before turning to walk out of the hall.

As soon as she went out, Xu Gui was about to follow, but he was stopped by Luo Yikun.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!”

“I’ve never picked vegetables in the fields before. Come with me.”

“No, I have to go and watch after Eldest Miss Yan. Although her actions of pushing Second Miss Yan yesterday were a little confusing, after interacting with her for this period of time, I think that she’s still a good person. Yuan and the rest are not around, and Eldest Miss Yan is alone. I have to go and look after her in case anything happens to her.”

“What can happen? There are so many students and teachers here. Do you have to worry about her?”

“Sigh, it’s not that I want to worry. It’s just that Yuan called today and said something a little strange. The general idea was to let me keep an eye on Eldest Miss Yan and try my best not to let her be alone. After all, she’s spending the night outside. It’s not safe for her to be alone.”

“Since Yuan said so, of course I have to keep an eye on her.”

Luo Yikun’s eyes darkened. There was indeed something strange.

However, he said, “You’re worrying for nothing. Feng Yuan is considered Miss Yan’s cousin. It’s normal for him to worry about Miss Yan as an elder brother. However, think about it. The school has booked this resort farm. Other than the farm staff, there are only the students and teachers here. Do you think these people dare to harm Master Nine’s fiancée?”

“Besides, judging from how Eldest Miss Yan teaches Feng Yan a lesson, she’s not easy to bully. No one is stupid enough to deliberately find trouble with her.”

Since there was something strange, he better not let Xu Gui interfere. Xu Gui should not interfere in the battle of wits and courage between people of that level.

Xu Gui felt that what he said made sense.

“Don’t follow her either. Otherwise, Master Nine will think that you have designs on Eldest Miss Yan and you’ll be in big trouble.”

Xu Gui shuddered.

“You’re right.”

“Alright, I won’t follow her then. I don’t think anything will happen either.”

Luo Yikun was satisfied. “Let’s go pick the ingredients for the barbecue.” He pulled him in another direction.

Xu Gui then realized that his hand was being held by Luo Yikun. He had goosebumps all over and felt uncomfortable. He quickly shrugged his hand away, “Just walk properly. Why are you pulling me?”

Luo Yikun didn’t say anything and simply put his hand on his shoulder. “I can’t pull you, but there’s no problem with guys putting their arms around each other, right?”

There was no problem, but Xu Gui still felt that it was very strange.

He wanted to push his hand away, but Luo Yikun said, “Or is it that Little Guizi, the things in your mind are different from mine? Do you think that there’s a problem with guys putting their arms around each other’s shoulders?”

Xu Gui, who was about to lift up his hand, froze. Then, he put his hand down.

If he really pushed Luo Yikun’s hand away, it would seem deliberate. It felt like there was something strange about him.

Luo Yikun put his hand on his shoulder in satisfaction. The two of them then followed the main group of people who were picking vegetables to the vegetable garden.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Luo Qiu’s lips twitched again.

Second Brother was really shameless.

“Qiu, what are you planning to do?” Tan Shiyun walked over.

“Oh, I don’t like to join in the fun. I saw Eldest Miss Yan go over there. I’m preparing to be her companion and walk around.”

“I see. Do you mind if I join you? I only like to eat barbecue but don’t like to work for it. I just want to eat and drink later. Now, I also want to find a place to take a leisurely walk. I’ve been nervous about my studies recently and haven’t been able to relax properly.”

“Of course not. Shall we go together? Actually, I’m afraid that Eldest Miss Yan will mind.”

She didn’t know what Yun’er was thinking. Eldest Miss Yan had already treated her so badly, and she even specially called to say that Eldest Miss Yan wasn’t familiar with everyone. If possible, she should try her best to bring Eldest Miss Yan along and let Eldest Miss Yan have the chance to interact with everyone.

In short, she wanted her to bring Eldest Miss Yan along and interact with everyone.

Tan Shiyun smiled. “Probably not. Jinyu is very easy to get along with.”
