How am I supposed to partner with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tongyu bit his lip and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you say you would handle these lines?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if I can't remember them, shouldn't you, as my partner, step in and cover for me in time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tongyu was stunned for a moment, then showed an ugly smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, that's my fault. I'll memorize them right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Classmate Zhao, did you escape from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you showed even half the backbone you have when dealing with me to Yu Songsong, I'd tell Batman to go easy on you when you return to Gotham.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong also rolled her eyes in speechless frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was deliberately picking a fight in the first place, hoping Zhao Tongyu would back down from the difficulty and let her switch partners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never expected this guy could be so spineless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her impression of him worsened even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong couldn't take it anymore and said frankly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to partner with you. Can you take the initiative and withdraw?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tongyu's breath hitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain! Such pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then it occurred to him that if he went along with Yu Songsong's wish this time, it might improve his image in her eyes a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he looked at Yu Songsong with a deeply affectionate expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's what you wish, I can do it. It's just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Then go tell the Minister right away to get someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong said very excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her agree so quickly and so excitedly, Zhao Tongyu felt both sorrow and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sorrow was that Yu Songsong really wanted him gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joy was that if he left, Yu Songsong would be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who reaches the peak at the end of the clown's road? Upon seeing Tongyu, the path becomes empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tongyu took one last, lingering look at Yu Songsong and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll go tell the Minister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, yeah, yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong nodded very dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally got rid of this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having watched a free circus performance, Jiang Linyuan was overjoyed. He walked over and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the junior get her wish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's Senior Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Linyuan approach, Yu Songsong's eyes lit up, then she said with seeming concern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just worried the replacement might be even worse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she subtly glanced at Jiang Linyuan with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, she wanted to partner with Jiang Linyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that won't happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having already confirmed she wasn't an Alchemist, what was there to fear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Junior Zhao for delivering the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were the MVP this round, I'm the dog lying down and winning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Classmate Zhao quickly gave up the male host position, and Zhang Shuo asked around once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you do it, no problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having no other choice, Zhang Shuo looked at Jiang Linyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said it plainly, but you said it for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan nodded, very satisfied. The B-rank card reward was within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Songsong was also very satisfied, laughing so hard her frame shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Classmate Zhao was stunned, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his heart was being torn apart, a strange feeling also grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, there's a bull! There's a bull!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan cheerfully went with Yu Songsong to a corner to practice the script, watching which made Little Classmate Zhao's heart churn with mixed emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that I can't compete, I just don't want to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since things had come to this, he could only comfort himself to feel a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong started practicing the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he understood that being Yu Songsong's partner was not a simple task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forgetting lines and changing lines were basic operations; what was more outrageous was stealing cues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Jiang Linyuan was experienced, so handling it wasn't difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were someone else, coupled with Yu Songsong's domineering personality, they would definitely be completely overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, you and I have such great chemistry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one run-through of the script, Yu Songsong exclaimed in surprise, then showed a sweet smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be what they call being on the same wavelength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same wavelength my foot! Were you even focusing on practicing the script? How is that being on the same wavelength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Bi Gan would be more focused than you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it, oh, it's a call from his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gotta take a call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan said to Yu Songsong, taking the phone and walking out of the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he pressed the answer button, Jiang Zhiyao's voice, gritted with anger, came from the other end:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really can't stay idle for a single moment! What's this about a new sister-in-law candidate! Explain yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man and woman in love, literal meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyao on the other end asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously want to date?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The way you say that! When have I not been serious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Haji Yao, does she want to stage a Xuanwu Gate confrontation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao's voice became disdainful:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this another little Green Tea? Want me to help sound her out for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's a treasure of a girl, don't slander her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she's a B-rank card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao completely didn't believe his nonsense and asked directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Check her professional competence, test her learning ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What learning ability? The learning ability to be a girlfriend or to be a Green Tea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversational leap was too big. It took Jiang Zhiyao a moment to react:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean you want me to help guide her with professional course knowledge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sis! You're confused!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What guidance does a Thief Saint need from you? Guidance on how to be flat-chested?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not guidance, testing. Basically, see what her attitude towards learning is like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan said with earnest gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhiyao was utterly confused, but still agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, but you have to tell me everything about this person clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too late today, we'll talk tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan quickly hung up the phone, then planned to walk back to the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he turned his head, he discovered a little female thief eavesdropping with perked-up ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Yilin, what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan patted Lin Yilin's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came out to use the bathroom, saw Senior standing here alone, and came over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yilin said evasively, stammering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously fake at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Linyuan didn't mind. He looked at her and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Yilin, stop stalking your senior all day long. If you have nothing to do, go eat some Liuliu plums.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not stalking you all day long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yilin argued, lacking conviction, clearly guilty as a thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way, you don't actually spend your free time every day snooping on my QQ status and social media moments, do you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Lin Yilin asked somewhat uncomfortably:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, who were you talking to on the phone just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, at the beginning she vaguely heard a girl's shouting voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, a lone man and a lone woman, having a private conversation... something fishy is going on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Little Yilin has such wide jurisdiction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Linyuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Yilin, for some reason, felt extremely wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she thought, what right did she have to feel wronged?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Senior tells me or not is his freedom. I don't have the right to ask him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this made her feel even worse. A sour, astringent taste gradually welled up in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, we're all family. I'll tell Little Yilin. I was talking to your sister-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law? I don't have a sister-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yilin was still immersed in her own melancholic thoughts and didn't immediately grasp Jiang Linyuan's meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, a deep flush spread from her earlobes down to her neck. She stood rooted to the spot, unmoving:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it's Senior's sister, just say so! What 'all family,' what 'sister-in-law'! Nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I didn't say that, someone might have started secretly wiping away tears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I wouldn't do that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yilin remained stubborn, her face slightly flushed, head held high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The starlight and moonlight were cold and clear, yet they made people's hearts burn hot.\u003C\u002Fp>",1572,"2026-05-30T05:23:37.247Z","2026-06-01T04:30:25.150Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a74b7c3bc1b44bc53ffe02d9e29dbfbc347859bb103187a812e143f1a89bbc9","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-90","green-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-chapter-89",155,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgreen-tea-she-s-clearly-a-hidden-gem-cover.jpg"]
