Chuyu visiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to his parents, he was quite calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Ming, fellow student.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu walked in and greeted Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuyu, come in and take a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming spoke openly, just like he would with a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks, I have things to do and will be leaving shortly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to give you something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu then took out two envelopes, one thick and one thin, and handed them to Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then I won’t keep you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming reached out and took them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Lin Chuyu turned to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, bowed slightly, and very politely said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be taking my leave now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you leaving already, won’t you sit for a while?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where are you heading after?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll have the driver take you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan said hastily, coming back to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ning liked Lin Chuyu more and more as she looked at her—not only was she beautiful, but she also had impeccable manners and poise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder her son was so enchanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Uncle and Auntie, but I really do have things to attend to, so I’ll not impose any further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu tactfully refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, son, go see her out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ning urged Su Ming quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming immediately stepped forward and said to Lin Chuyu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuyu, I’ll walk you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu did not decline and followed Su Ming outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Su Ming had walked her to the door, and Lin Chuyu stopped, smiling as she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Ming, this is far enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, take care on your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will do, oh and thanks for your help with the city exam this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to be so formal, and if we’re really counting favors, I should also be thanking you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming replied with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chuyu nodded slightly, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming stood at the doorway, watching as Lin Chuyu’s silhouette grew smaller and smaller in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had disappeared from view, Su Ming turned and went back inside his home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning approached, looking at the envelopes in Su Ming’s hands with a smile and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, you’re holding letters, aren’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They seem to be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming glanced at them and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, open them and take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan urged Su Ming with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming saw that Su Yuan and Zhao Ning’s eyes were fixed on the envelopes in his hands and immediately understood they wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He replied with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want to take a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan and Zhao Ning quickly nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming shook his head in refusal and then walked into the house, returning to his own room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, no!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let us give you some advice!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan and Zhao Ning hurriedly followed Su Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them followed all the way to the door of Su Ming’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop following me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not showing you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have my own privacy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning his head to speak to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, Su Ming walked into his room and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan and Zhao Ning looked at the tightly shut door, their faces showing a helpless expression, their son had grown up and now had secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the closed door suddenly opened again, and Su Ming poked his head out to look at the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, have you come around and decided to let us see it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yuan asked, elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just wanted to warn you not to peek.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Su Ming closed the door again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room, Su Ming picked up two envelopes and walked to his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first opened the very thick envelope, which contained 12,100 Federation dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Federation dollars inside the envelope, Su Ming was not particularly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lin Chuyu’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t return the money at 100 Federation dollars an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set the money aside and turned his attention to the second envelope – this was the one that mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming was also very curious; what could Lin Chuyu have written to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he reached out both hands to pick up the envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he picked up the envelope, his face immediately showed an incredulous expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that his hands, uncontrollably, were trembling as they held the envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming was also extremely surprised; this body’s reaction was far too intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, trying his best to control his shaking hands, but to little effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With trembling hands, Su Ming managed to open the envelope and took out an exquisitely delicate pink piece of stationery, filled with graceful writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Ming, I didn’t notice your letter last time because of the special training and various reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I’ve specially written a letter as a proper response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, I am very grateful for your affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are a particularly nice person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are kind, brave, and sincere, like the sunshine in winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that I have my own compulsions and dreams that I must pursue, so for now I don’t intend to be involved in a relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one day I achieve my dreams, I will give it serious consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I hope we can become good friends, working hard and progressing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I also hope you can meet another girl who can stir your heart and fondness…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, Su Ming set down the envelope on the table, his hands gradually returning to normal, and his turbulent heart calming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the neatly placed envelope and contemplated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, there were two pieces of news; the good news was that Lin Chuyu had responded to his love letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news seemed to be a ‘nice guy’ rejection!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the ‘nice guy’ card, a bizarre expression crossed Su Ming’s face; it felt oddly strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About the dream that Lin Chuyu mentioned in her response, Su Ming felt it seemed like an excuse, but of course, he didn’t exclude the possibility that she genuinely had a dream she had to fulfill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what, Su Ming still admired Lin Chuyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was pretty, composed, very well-mannered, full of justice, kind, and brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone would take the risk of being eliminated in such an important city exam to rescue someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nearly impossible to find faults with Lin Chuyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, no more thinking about this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ming lay on the ground, hands cradling his head, laboriously doing sit-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“27, 28…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, a computer image projected on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image featured the most recent hot topics and a special interview about the city exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short-haired woman, dressed professionally and looking intellectual, was politely asking the famous educational expert Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangis, what’s your take on this city exam practice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the old Federation has received a large number of complaints from sixteen districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They feel that this city exam reform is very abrupt and they were unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, due to the rudeness of the Imperial Court Sect, many students have been mentally affected and underperformed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly in the subsidiary subject assessments, it’s been an utter mess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dannie, as for the reform of this city exam, I don’t find it problematic; on the contrary, I think it’s a good change,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangis thought for a moment before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All sixteen districts failed the subsidiary subject exams, and many have openly claimed on the internet that this task is impossible to complete.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host Dannie pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-02T10:49:54.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","5cd77d1c9142b34b3d02f783aa3e62c9ca00ac33c805380abc0de62c6bac1ada","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-76","shadows-of-the-deep-space-chapter-74",1854,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshadows-of-the-deep-space-cover.jpg"]
