Chapter 1402: Having Other Motives

But Lu Feifei wore a troubled expression, her brows tightly furrowed.

"What's wrong? If you want to say something, just say it," Litian said.

Lu Feifei gathered her courage and finally spoke: "Litian, can you lend me ten thousand yuan?" Her voice was very small, so small it sounded like a mosquito humming.

Furthermore, she decided in her heart that if he didn't hear her, so be it; she would just pretend she had never said it. Of course, the matter of being boyfriend and girlfriend would also be dropped; she hadn't been serious about it to begin with.

Father Lu had gone to court to sue his little stepmother for divorce, causing quite a scene, but for some unknown reason, he withdrew the lawsuit overnight.

Father and the little stepmother were reconciled, and the pitiful one was her.

The little stepmother slandered her in front of her father; she didn't know what was said, but in any case, it was nothing good.

Father Lu wanted to kick his daughter out of the house, saying, "I've raised you until eighteen; I have no further obligation to support you. Get out of my house and go find that dead mother of yours."

If she had even the slightest alternative, Lu Feifei wouldn't want to stay in this house either, but she had nowhere to go!

Her mother had remarried two months ago; now her father had a home, and her mother had a home, but there was simply no home for her.

She cared about her pride.

She didn't want to ask others for help.

If the fact that she was homeless became known to everyone, with neighbors, friends, and classmates gossiping, just thinking about it felt worse than being killed.

She wanted to go out and rent a place to live on her own, even if it were only a few square meters; at least it would be her own place.

Just when others were anxious about their scores, Lu Feifei was anxious about a place to live. Renting a place was a good solution, but the problem was she had no money.

Not only for where she lived now, but also for her future tuition, nothing was settled.

She was truly at her wit's end, so she thought of Litian.

Although she didn't have a crush on Litian, she didn't dislike him either. She was still very grateful to him for smashing her family's windows a few days ago.

Counting all these factors, plus the most important one—Litian had money and kept his mouth shut.

Borrowing money from him shouldn't be too difficult.

Facts proved she had guessed right; it was indeed not difficult.

"You wait here, I'll go get it for you."

He didn't even ask for the reason and ran back to get the money, which made Lu Feifei heave a sigh of relief.

Very quickly, the money was handed to Lu Feifei, a neat stack, with the serial numbers still in order.

"Here, this is the IOU." The IOU had already been written, stating the amount and the repayment date.

"No need, no need for this." Litian didn't take it, putting his hands behind his back as if the paper were burning hot.

Inside the house.

The three brothers were lying on the windowsill, peeking outside.

Zichen muttered to himself: "What is Lu Feifei doing? She must have run into some trouble, right?"

Zirui replied: "Big Brother, do you know that girl? Could Second Brother have run into a scammer?" Although the girl didn't look like a scammer, faces could be deceiving.

Zihan felt Zirui was too cold-blooded and corrected him: "Second Brother definitely likes that big sister, but that big sister... she just ran into some trouble." Zihan had never had any immunity to pretty big sisters; as long as they looked good, they couldn't be bad people.

As the three brothers were talking, Litian returned.

He was bouncing along, in a very good mood.

As soon as he entered the house, he was grabbed by his big brother and pulled toward the room: "I have something to tell you."

The two younger brothers followed, but were blocked outside.

"Confess honestly, what's going on?"

Litian scratched his head in embarrassment, but told the truth: "Feifei agreed to be my girlfriend."

"Congratulations, congratulations, you got what you wanted."

Zichen winked, then prepared to go out.

As for the matter of Litian giving money to Lu Feifei, he didn't ask.

Even if they were biological brothers, there had to be boundaries.

One couldn't pry into everything; if Litian wanted to say it, he would tell him voluntarily.

Besides, Zichen didn't think that bit of money was such a big deal.

The scores were out.

In the living room.

Zichen and Litian sat side by side, each with a computer in front of them. A circle of people stood behind them, all waiting for the moment the scores were released.

The two kept refreshing the page... finally, they appeared!

Sheng Zichen: Total score 688.

"Wow—"

"That's great, Big Brother, you're so amazing!"

"My son is truly great."

Shi Youxuan hugged her son tightly.

Even someone as emotionally reserved as Sheng Hanyu gave his son a thumbs up.

The celebration was short-lived, because Litian's score hadn't loaded yet.

Fine beads of sweat broke out on Litian's forehead as he refreshed the page rapidly, over and over again.

System busy.

System busy.

System busy.

At this moment, the student group chat exploded.

Some students had already checked their scores and posted them in the group, dancing with excitement.

The students who had checked their scores all had high marks, higher than their own estimates, and were incredibly happy.

Jiang University was a sure thing.

Sure for the first, sure for the second, sure for the third... good news was passed into the class group one after another.

The homeroom teacher, Teacher Luo, was so excited that typing could not express the joy in his heart.

As soon as a score was reported, he would cheer in the group, and then start urging the students whose scores had not yet come out to refresh quickly.

Consequently, the students whose scores had not yet come out... became even more anxious!

But this anxiety was mixed with joy.

And the joy was tinged with anxiety.

The mood was very complicated; the parents were even more anxious than the children. Sheng Litian had already switched N computers, and just as he was about to finish using every computer in the house, the score finally came out—618 points!

"Wow—"

"Long live!"

"Second brother, did you use a cheat code? That's amazing!"

"Son, you are Mom's pride."

"Litian is truly amazing!"

Everyone "forgot" about Zichen and began to surround Litian to celebrate and congratulate him.

The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic and excited than when Zichen scored 688 points.

Zichen's grades used to be poor because he truly did not study.

Litian's grades used to be poor not only because of a lack of effort, but also because of a lack of natural talent.

Although this score was quite a bit lower than Zichen's, it was the result of him studying day and night, having effective study materials, accurate test predictions, and good luck, all combined together.

The scores for the entire Class Twelve had all come out.

Sheng Zichen: 688 points.

Sheng Litian: 618 points.

Lu Feifei: 640 points.

Li Siyu: 600 points.

In Class Twelve, five students scored over 700 points, one student scored below 600 points, twelve students scored 688 points, and the average score was 666 points; the entire Jiangzhou was shocked.

On the red honor roll at the main gate of First High School, the entire Class Twelve was prominently listed.

The Experimental Class's results were the same as usual: two people scored above 650 points, five people scored above 630 points, and twenty-three people scored above 600 points.

In previous years, every time the College Entrance Examination results came out, it was a time for Teacher Tian to hold his head high.

But this year, when the College Entrance Examination results came out, Teacher Tian was hospitalized!

He had chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to catch his breath.

This time it was not faked; he truly felt as if a large stone was pressing on his chest, and he could not catch his breath!

But Teacher Luo knew nothing of all this; he was busy discussing with the students what kind of schools they should apply to.

That's right, "all to Jiang University" was just a slogan.

Using such a slogan to motivate students at the time was one thing, but after the exams were truly over, one still had to return to reality.
