Chapter 396

It's rare to see Mu Nvshen in school uniform!

Jin Ge also wore it! What day is today?

Wasn't it said that leaders would come inspect today? The big shots in Class A finally gave face and wore school uniforms.

That leg... I... I'm ascending right here.

What are you ascending for? Young Master Jiang is standing right there; it's not your turn.

By the way, wasn't she kidnapped? She's back to school already? That's too fast.

What do you mean 'just back'? The New Year's over! And what's her status? It's not your place to worry.

Mu Youyu raised her head and glanced at the gate of Lanlin Gaozhong, suddenly feeling as if she had stepped into another world.

Clearly it's only been one winter break since I last came, yet it feels like ages.

Jiang Liangjin's brow rose.

The leaders were nothing more than the principal plus a few investors; his father even specially called, beating around the bush to get him on stage for a appearance, but he refused on the spot.

What's there to show? He still wants to sit with her down there; family business and such can wait a few days.

He hadn't taken two steps when someone slapped his back, not too light, not too heavy.

Turning around, Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan stood side by side, also rarely dressed up, in all-black formal attire, looking rather proper.

"Hi!" Yu Ci called out first.

Mu Youyu slowed her steps: "A Ci, A Nan."

Gu Xingnan's voice warm: "Good morning."

Jiang Liangjin lightly nodded, counting as a greeting.

Yu Ci stepped over two paces: "Sure, coming this early."

Mu Youyu replied: "Not bad, I'm twenty minutes early."

Yu Ci leaned over, looking neglected: "I wanted to come with you guys, but sadly no one replied to my message."

"I didn't check my phone this morning." Mu Youyu answered honestly; she'd gotten a bit tired of playing with her phone over the break, and now isn't that interested.

Hearing that, Jiang Liangjin expressionlessly pulled out his phone from his pocket, glanced at the WeChat interface, and indeed there was no message from Yu Ci.

"I didn't receive it." He turned the phone screen toward Yu Ci, tone flat.

Yu Ci leaned in to see; the chat log still showed his message from last night at 2 a. m. 【What time to arrive tomorrow】, with nothing below—Jiang Liangjin hadn't even replied with a punctuation mark.

"Alright, let's go inside and upstairs." Yu Ci decided not to argue with him.

The few of them had nothing to say; Gu Xingnan slowly followed behind.

The four arrived at the door of Class A; the classroom already had more than half the students seated, all in black.

Mo Song sat in her seat, head down reading a book; Leng Yueyou sat beside her, legs crossed, scrolling on her phone.

Bai Yun stood beside the podium, surrounded by two girls, talking with Chao Yi about something,

As soon as Mu Youyu entered, the previously somewhat noisy classroom became lively again.

"Wow, Brother Jin and them also put on their uniforms! Our Class A is awesome, wearing the same as the class uniform! So cool!"

Mu Youyu walked straight to her seat and sat down; Jiang Liangjin sat beside her, while Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan took seats in the row behind.

Mo Song lifted her head from her book and exclaimed in praise: "Elder Sister Yu, the suit really suits you!"

Mu Youyu was delighted by the praise, yet kept a composed face: "You too."

Mo Song embarrassedly touched her face: "I don't have that..."

Bai Yun stepped down from the podium, took the empty seat in front of Mu Youyu, lowered her voice and got straight to the point: "Have you decided on the skip-grade test?"

Hearing the two words "skip-grade" from behind, Yu Ci finally sat up straight, spine rigid, full of confidence.

Over the whole break, Gu Xingnan had been giving him intensive tutoring, doing practice problems until his hands were sore.

Now he feels terrifyingly strong!

"We'll go after the assembly." Mu Youyu smiled sweetly.

After skipping a grade, we can think about transferring to Nan Feng.

Chao Yi followed behind Bai Yun, wearing a look of eager anticipation for the drama.

Bai Yun turned and glared at him: "You're happy just because you lost a good sister in the same class?"

He immediately restrained himself and obediently sat down beside her.

Not long after, homeroom teacher Liu Yunmi walked in right on time, patted the podium, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, long time no see! Now I'll tell you: at eight o'clock sharp later, everyone gather in the auditorium downstairs; important leaders are coming for an inspection."

"Got it——"

Liu Yunmi nodded satisfactorily, her gaze sweeping the classroom and landing on Mu Youyu, obviously a bit more kindly: "How's your recovery?"

Mu Youyu stood up and answered obediently: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher; I'm fine now."

"All right, have a seat." Liu Yunmi waved her hand and added: "Later, the four of you come to my office to discuss the specific arrangements for the skip-grade test."

She doesn't mind losing four top students from the class.

Even if they go up to senior three, she still teaches the subject for Senior Three Class A and, as director of instruction, continues to guide them.

Either way, they're still at their school, right?

If Yu Ci knew what she was thinking right now, he'd surely smirk.

Jiang Liangjin didn't say much.

Mu Youyu didn't call him out on the spot, only obediently agreeing: "Okay, I'll come later."

Liu Yunmi gave a few more reminders before leaving the classroom.

Seeing her leave, Mo Song stood up and walked over, whispering: "Elder Sister Yu, do you know what kind of leader it is?"

Mu Youyu thought: "Looks like it's from the Department of Education, plus a few investors."

"That's impressive." Mo Song didn't ask further.

As the student council class, the whole class went to the auditorium early.

A Class's seats were in the exact center of the second row; Mu Youyu had just sat down when she saw several people already seated in the VIP seats of the first row.

None of them were strangers, and one figure looked especially familiar.

Jiang Su wore a dark suit, was speaking quietly with the principal, his atmosphere steady—clearly a big shot at first glance.

Mu Youyu tilted her head, lightly poked Jiang Liangjin's arm, and whispered, "A Jin, why did Uncle come too?"

Jiang Liangjin followed suit, tilting her head, her eyes slightly warm, "One of the investors."

"Is that older brother next door?"

Jiang Liangjin's tone didn't change: "Yeah, I saw him on my way to find you, said hello, and he said he was going to Nan Feng."

Mu Youyu had a sense of it and didn't ask further.

Soon, the lights on stage came on, the principal walked up and began his speech: "Teachers, students! A new year, a new semester, we gather again..."

Mu Youyu found it a bit boring, took out her phone, and sent Jiang Liangjin a message: "Does Uncle know you're planning to transfer schools?"

Seeing her texting, Jiang Liangjin lowered her head to glance, the corner of her lips twitching up ever so slightly, her fingertip quickly typing a single character: "Understood."

Mu Youyu: "What did he say?"

A Jin: "He said 【thumbs up】【thumbs up】【thumbs up】."

Mu Youyu couldn't help but curl her lips at the sight of those three little Expressions.

Yu Ci leaned over from beside Jiang Liangjin, lowered her voice, and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Mu Youyu put her phone away, deadpan, "We're talking about whether you can pass Lan Lin's skip-grade test."

Jiang Liangjin went along with it: "Yeah, I'm worried about you two."

Gu Xingnan said gently, "Thank you."
