Jiang Nanshu looked at the gloomy sky.
With a bit of hesitation, "Are you sure there will be a sunrise with this kind of weather?"
Yan Yidan nodded with a smile, eyes curved, "Of course, I checked, There will be sunshine on Sunday, it’s going to be a good day."
"Do you guys have any objections?"
Jiang Yunchuan quickly shook his head, "No!"
Xu Xi smiled, showing her dimples, "Me neither."
Yang Jiashu chuckled, "Then let’s do it together, I haven’t seen a sunrise before, it must be beautiful."
Lu Qingyan then looked towards Jiang Nanshu, his voice low, "Neither do I."
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
[How did you also end up joining in this mess! You really do want to date a crowd, huh!]
Lu Qingyan remained silent.
This time, he simply went along with Yan Yidan’s suggestion.
Jiang Nanshu felt the gaze of five pairs of eyes on her.
She forced a laugh, "Then I’ll go too."
Thus, the group of six decided on their first "date" location, atop a mountain to watch the sunrise.
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t particularly looking forward to it, but she didn’t want to be a killjoy.
The nurse had said, even if you don’t like mingling, you shouldn’t show it too much, or others will get hurt.
Yan Yidan hopped on her motorcycle, winking at them, "I still have some things to take care of, you guys remember to take Nannan back to school."
With that, she left.
Jiang Nanshu watched her cool departure.
She clicked her tongue in her mind.
[As expected of Sister Ma Jia, that first jacket must belong to a racer, right? I saw a number 1 on her leather jacket, don’t think you can escape my eyes!]
Lu Qingyan had no particular reaction.
But Jiang Yunchuan was shocked.
He had innocently thought that Yan Yidan just had a hobby of riding motorcycles.
Usually, she appeared to be a quiet and obedient girl.
But unexpectedly, she was into racing!
Coincidentally, so was he!
He had immense interest in that area, even the gaming company he founded developed racing tracks and competitive racing games.
He started pondering, thinking he should find a chance to go racing with Yan Yidan.
Jiang Nanshu turned to Xu Xi, "Let’s head back to school, we have classes tomorrow."
Then she looked at Lu Qingyan, asking, "Brother Qingyan, what about you?"
"Since I’m here," Lu Qingyan said with a gentle smile, "I’ll go back to school with you."
The group made their way back to the school.
As they reached the school gates, they encountered Su Ran.
It had been quite a while since Jiang Nanshu had seen her.
It had been two weeks since they last met in the hospital.
The light had faded from her eyes, and she was accompanied by Chu Muxi.
Chu Muxi seemed to be consoling her, but Su Ran did not look pleased.
[True to the main characters’ magnetism, you guys really run into each other everywhere!]
Chu Muxi could hardly refuse.
Nodding, she replied, "Yes, don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered."
"I need to go to the principal’s office to process my withdrawal. I want to act, and I probably won’t have the energy for graduate studies."
Chu Muxi looked regretful, "Ah? With your grades, getting into grad school would be no problem, alas."
Su Ran smiled bitterly, "What I originally came for wasn’t a bachelor’s degree. It’s just that I can’t keep up anymore."
Some truths are better left unsaid.
Chu Muxi knew who she was referring to.
All she could offer was regret.
Actually feeling disdain inside.
Having been around Lu Qingyan for three years during prime time without catching any man’s interest, she really was foolish.
She had initially wanted Su Ran to test the waters with Lu Qingyan—if their relationship could withstand the Lu Family’s opposition, she could find a way to remove Su Ran and step in herself.
But she too had bad luck, stumbling upon Lu Mother’s cruel strategies, and ended up being tied to her; otherwise, Lu Mother had ways to silence her.
If obedient, Lu Mother could give her money and some small collaborations with the Lu Family.
And Lu Mother wanted her to be her informant, eliminating all obstacles around Lu Qingyan.
In the end, she had to align with the partner selected by Lu Mother, thus fulfilling her task.
Her task should have been completed after Su Ran went abroad, but then Jiang Nanshu appeared, forcing her to flee abroad.
She dared not provoke Lu Mother nor expose the dirty deeds she had done in the past.
After all, there was the once sensational case of the kidnapping of the Lu Family’s heir.
Lu Mother had a hand in it.
But no one ever traced it back to her.
