Chapter 361 : Green Plum Meets Wine 12 (1/2)

Yu Jiu still had to continue his studies abroad. Shi Sheng nigh enthusiastically sent him off at the airport.

‘This idiot is finally leaving! Luckily, no stupid chain quest appeared to make me follow him…’

“Xiaoxia-meimei, do you really want me to leave that much?” Yu Jiu dragged his luggage along, as he looked at Shi Sheng with raised brows.

‘My lil green plum doesn’t seem to like me all that much.’

“Yep. Hurry off, then.” Shi Sheng waved. The only reason she came to see him off was to make sure he really left.

“You wound me.” Yu Jiu made to ruffle Shi Sheng’s hair, but she stepped back.

His hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air before he put it down, as if nothing was wrong. “Don’t celebrate too early. I’ll be back soon.”

‘My lil green plum is so fun that I simply must come back.’

“Obediently wait for me to return.” Yu Jiu waved at Shi Sheng. “I’m leaving.”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Crazy fuck.’

After Yu Jiu left, Shi Sheng felt that she was able to breath more easily, now that there was finally no one to question her on her whereabouts all the time, or tease her with every other sentence.

……

School re-opened. It was their final year before senior high.

Shi Sheng was not a fan of having exams on the day school re-opened. ‘You’re killing me here!’

She hadn’t seen Yin Mo during the summer break, but now he appeared much worse for wear.

On the other hand, Shen Jiayin…en, appeared much prettier than before.

‘Tsk tsk.

Don’t even know who saved the FL that time in the alleyway. The FL’s cheats are always inexhaustible… Though I(bbb) want to say no, it’s no use…

System won’t give me(bbb) any cheats…’

After the test, Yin Mo called Shen Jiayin by name and summoned her to his office.

Shi Sheng lifted her head to look at her. Although Shen Jiayin appeared reluctant, she couldn’t defy inside the school, so she could only follow Yin Mo to his office.

“Hey… Sheng Xia, d’you know?” Yao Qin turned around the moment Shen Jiayin and Yin Mo left the classroom, gossip written all over her face.

“What?” Shi Sheng turned to look at Yao Qin.

Yao Qin leaned back. “During the summer break, I saw Shen Jiayin and Teacher Yin together. Their relationship didn’t appear normal…”

Shi Sheng raised a brow but didn’t speak.

Yao Qin continued, “I even saw her attend a charity auction. I wonder who brought her in.”

Although Yao Qin’s family background was quite well-off, it couldn’t compare to Gu Yan’s, so the type of charity auctions she was able to attend shouldn’t be very major ones.

‘Why did the FL go to that type of charity auction?’

“Do you know what Shen Jiayin’s family does?” Yao Qin prattled on.

Shen Jiayin had reincarnated to the time she just transferred over and hadn’t really talked to people much since then, so no one knew of her family background.

“Nope.” Shi Sheng shook her head.

Shen Jiayin’s family situation was a bit complicated. Her parents favoured sons over daughters, so she was already unloved at home. But then Shen Jiayin later discovered that she wasn’t even their real daughter at all.

The situation with the rest of the Shen Clan was even more complicated, as they were borderline ultra-wealthy. There were plenty of asshole relatives for Shen Jiayin to punish, which she did with great pleasure.

Yao Qin suddenly concluded, “Sheng Xia, you seem to have changed.”

‘The previous Sheng Xia just liked to sleep, but she wasn’t this distant. She also wasn’t this curt, like you’re asking her for money by prompting her to speak more…’

“We’re all growing up.” Shi Sheng tapped her pen on the desk, the sound quite pleasing to the ears.

“You can’t just stay in one spot.”

Yao Qin, “…” ‘Don’t understand your thinking, Einstein…’

Yao Qin watched Shi Sheng pull out an English book, and her lip twitched. ‘This mere mortal does not understand the world of top students!’
