Lu Huaiyu walked towards her and stood in front of her.
He smiled at her.
“Happy graduation, Li.”
As he spoke, he handed her a piece of candy.
Ning Li picked up the chocolate-flavored candy.
She tore the candy wrapper off, and the rich taste of chocolate filled her mouth.
Her eyes were bright and clear.
“Thank you, Second Brother.”
Lu Huaiyu asked, “Later, if you want to eat–”
“Ning Li!”
Before he could finish his sentence, He Xiaochen’s voice suddenly came from the side.
Ning Li turned her head to look, and He Xiaochen ran over excitedly.
She had also been taking the exam at Second High School, but she had not been in the same exam hall as Ning Li. Hers had been in a different building, so the distance was quite far.
Therefore, the two of them had barely seen each other in the past two days.
When she came up to them, He Xiaochen saw that Lu Huaiyu was also there, so she quickly stopped in her tracks.
“Hello, Second Brother of Ning Li!”
Every time she saw Lu Huaiyu, she would remind herself not to make such a mistake again.
However, she still could not change it, especially when she saw Ning Li and Lu Huaiyu standing together. She just could not help but shout this out.
Fortunately, Lu Huaiyu was not bothered about this.
“Hello.”
Ning Li looked at her excited face and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He Xiaochen finally remembered what she had come here for.
“Ning Li, our classmates said that we’re going to have a dinner party tonight. Do you want to join us?”
Ning Li was slightly stunned.
“Today?”
“Yes!”
He Xiaochen sighed.
“It wasn’t easy to make it to the end of the college entrance exam. If we’re not going to have fun now, then when else will we be able to have fun?”
She had wanted to say that if she did not go and have fun now, she could go and have fun when she wanted to. However, taking into account that Lu Huaiyu was still around, she modified her words slightly.
However, her meaning was still very clear.
Ning Li thought for a moment.
She was actually not very interested in this matter.
However, He Xiaochen seemed to really want her to go.
“Are there a lot of people going?”
He Xiaochen said, “Not really. There are about ten people. Everyone gets along well together.”
She shook Ning Li’s arm and said coquettishly, “Ning Li, please go! You’ve helped everyone so much before. They really want to find a suitable opportunity to thank you properly!”
Ning Li’s personality was calm and aloof. She usually did not interact much with her classmates.
However, there was one thing: many people came to her to ask questions or borrow papers, and she almost never refused, especially in the last month or so.
At this kind of time, many people were actually not willing to waste time on other people, and would only focus on improving themselves.
However, whenever anyone went to look for Ning Li, she would never be impatient, nor would she deliberately hide her lack of teaching.
Therefore, although they usually did not show it, many people were secretly very grateful to her.
Subconsciously, Ning Li looked to Lu Huaiyu.
Lu Huaiyu smiled and asked, “Do you want to go?”
Ning Li did not know whether she wanted to go or not. But since He Xiaochen had already said so, if she refused, it would seem…
He Xiaochen seemed to have noticed something as well. She turned to look at Lu Huaiyu and pressed the palms of her hands together.
“Second Brother of Ning Li, we only need to borrow Ning Li for a while. It’s time for us to celebrate!”
The corners of Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled up.
“Where are you all having your gathering?”
“Food Monk!”
It was a very famous restaurant in Yunzhou, right in the center of the city.
Ning Li said, “Then… Second Brother, I’ll go home after we finish eating.”
Lu Huaiyu looked at her for a while and nodded with a smile.
“Alright.”
…
Ning Li followed He Xiaochen just like that.
Lu Huaiyu walked back to where Cheng Xiyue’s car was parked by the roadside.
Seeing that he had returned, Cheng Xiyue looked behind him and looked again.
“Eh? Where’s Sister Ning Li? Why isn’t she with you?”
Lu Huaiyu pulled open the car door and got into the front passenger seat.
“She went to have dinner with her classmates.”
Cheng Xiyue clicked his tongue.
“You let her go so willingly.”
Lu Huaiyu leaned against the back of the chair, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Her exam is finally over. Let her go out to relax.”
Cheng Xiyue sized him up and could not help but tease him.
“I guess you’re not afraid of someone confessing to younger sister Ning Li at all.”
Lu Huaiyu recalled the events at the sports meet some time ago, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately after, he laughed.
…
Ning Li followed He Xiaochen over and found that the group did consist of classmates who were familiar with each other.
Ren Qian and Lin Zhouyang were both there.
What surprised Ning Li was that Pei Song was also there.
His personality was introverted and aloof, and he rarely participated in such gatherings.
However, today was a special day after the college entrance examination, so it seemed understandable.
“Shall we take a taxi?”
Ren Qian asked.
Everyone agreed.
There were twelve people in total, so they took three taxis.
Ning Li and He Xiaochen got into the backseat of a car. Ren Qian came over and knocked on the window.
“Boss, can we squeeze in?”
He Xiaochen was playing with her phone, so she replied without raising her head,
“Sure!”
As she said that, she moved closer to Ning Li.
“Ahhh! Ning Li, look at this Reuters photo of my little brother. It’s so beautiful! Ahhh!”
Ren Qian called out, “Brother Pei.”
Pei Song got into the passenger seat.
Ren Qian went to the back seat and sat next to He Xiaochen.
Ning Li took a look.
The photo seemed to be showing a night time scene. A young man in a black hoodie was leaning against the wall with a baseball cap on his head.
It was only a silhouette. The guy’s face could not be seen clearly, but his figure was still slim and tall.
She was stunned.
“When was this taken?”
“Huh? Well, I think it was about two or three days ago, right? I haven’t touched my phone much these few days, and I only saw it after I flipped through the phone.”
He Xiaochen oohed and aahed, her heart aching,
“This is Reuters, where my younger brother went to record some variety shows. I heard that their variety shows are very hard to record, and they often stay up late. On the day this photo was taken, they only finished work at three in the morning.”
Ning Li looked at the photo without saying anything.
Lin Fengmian was currently popular, so he had a lot of jobs, which was very tough on him.
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Since this was his job in this industry, he had to treat it seriously.
The variety show he was recording was very popular, and many people did not even have the chance to get on it.
So even though it was hard, he had to continue.
He Xiaochen cupped her face.
“My younger brother is only 17, and he’s already 1.82 meters tall, while I’m only 1.62 meters tall! Isn’t my younger brother a little too tall?”
“Coupled with his superior head-to-body ratio, wow! I’m really envious!”
Ren Qian looked over.
“Sister, your 1.62 meters is already pretty good. If you really grew to 1.82 meters…”
He Xiaochen glared at him.
“So what if I really did grow to 1.82 meters?”
Ren Qian raised his hands and said seriously, “There would then definitely be a place for you on the national women’s basketball team.”
He Xiaochen snorted.
With her short legs, she could forget about that.
“If you were really that tall, you could also become a model! Look at G & S’s high-fashion dresses. They look so good on the tall models!”
At this point, she let out an “ah” again.
“I haven’t signed in to see my Weiwei yet!”
The college entrance exam was over. She had a pile of materials to look at. It was really fulfilling.
“Oh right, Ning Li, did you know that my brother’s album is scheduled to be released on the 26th? It’s the same day as your birthday!”
