Chapter 76: A Reply (First Update)

Su Ming was also a bit surprised to see Lin Chuyu visit. However, compared to his parents, he was very calm.

“Classmate Su Ming.”

Lin Chuyu walked in and greeted Su Ming.

“Chu Yu, you’re here. Come in and sit down.”

Su Ming said frankly, just like a friend.

“No, I still have something to do and will leave soon. I came to see you because I have something for you.”

Lin Chuyu then took out two envelopes, one thick and one thin, and handed them to Su Ming.

“Alright, then I won’t keep you.”

Su Ming reached out and took them.

At this moment, Lin Chuyu turned to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, bowed slightly, and said very politely,

“Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be leaving now.”

“You’re leaving already? Won’t you sit for a while? Where are you going later? I’ll have the driver take you!”

Su Yuan came back to his senses and quickly said.

“That’s right!”

The more Zhao Ning looked at Lin Chuyu, the more she liked her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very polite and elegant. No wonder her son was so captivated.

“Thank you, Uncle and Auntie, but I really have something to do, so I won’t disturb you.”

Lin Chuyu politely declined.

“Alright, son, quickly see her out.”

Zhao Ning quickly urged Su Ming.

Su Ming then stepped forward and said to Lin Chuyu,

“Chu Yu, I’ll see you out.”

Lin Chuyu did not refuse and walked out with Su Ming.

Soon, Su Ming saw her to the door. Lin Chuyu stopped and said with a smile,

“Su Ming, this is far enough.”

“Okay, be careful on your way.”

“Alright. Oh, and thank you for the City Exam this time.”

“No need to be so polite. And if we’re really counting, I should be thanking you too.”

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

Lin Chuyu nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Su Ming stood at the doorway, watching Lin Chuyu’s figure gradually disappear.

After she was out of sight, Su Ming turned and walked back into the house.

At this moment, Su Yuan and Zhao Ning came up. They looked at the envelopes in Su Ming’s hand and asked with a chuckle,

“Son, are those letters you’re holding?”

“I suppose so.”

Su Ming glanced at them and replied.

“Quick, open them and see.”

Su Yuan urged Su Ming with a grin.

Su Ming saw Su Yuan and Zhao Ning’s eyes fixed on the envelopes in his hand. He immediately understood that they wanted to see, so he replied with a smile,

“Want to see?”

“Yes, yes!”

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning quickly nodded and replied.

“No.”

Su Ming shook his head and refused, then walked inside, returning to his room.

“Son, don’t! We’ll help you advise!”

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning quickly followed Su Ming.

The two followed him all the way to the door of Su Ming’s room.

“Don’t follow me. I’m not showing you. I have my own privacy.”

After Su Ming said this to Su Yuan and Zhao Ning, he walked into the room and closed the door.

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning looked at the closed door, their faces filled with helplessness. Their son was grown and had secrets now.

At this moment, the closed door suddenly opened again, and Su Ming poked his head out, looking at the two.

“Son, did you come to your senses? Are you going to let us see?”

Su Yuan asked joyfully.

“No, I just wanted to remind you not to peek.”

After Su Ming finished speaking, he reclosed the door.

Inside the room, Su Ming took the two envelopes to the desk. He first opened the thick envelope, only to find 12,100 federal currency inside.

Su Ming was not particularly surprised to see the federal currency in the envelope. Given Lin Chuyu’s personality, she certainly wouldn’t return it at 100 federal currency per hour.

He put the money aside and his gaze fell on the second letter. This letter was the main point.

Su Ming was also very curious, what kind of letter would Lin Chuyu write to him? So he reached out and picked up the envelope.

And when he picked up the envelope, an incredible expression immediately appeared on his face.

He found that his hands, holding the envelope, were uncontrollably trembling.

“What’s going on?”

Su Ming was also extremely surprised inwardly. This body’s reaction was too strong.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to control his trembling hands, but unfortunately, the effect was very unsatisfactory.

Su Ming could only open the envelope with trembling hands and take out a very delicate pink letter paper from inside. The letter paper was covered with elegant writing.

“Classmate Su Ming, last time, due to special training and various reasons, I didn’t notice your letter. This time, I specifically wrote a letter as a formal reply. First of all, I am very grateful for your affection. You are a particularly good person. You are kind, brave, and sincere, just like the winter sunshine. However, I have my own unavoidable circumstances and a dream I must pursue, so I do not plan to get involved in relationships right now. If one day I achieve my dream, I will seriously consider it. Therefore, I hope we can become very good friends, working hard and progressing together. Of course, I also hope you can meet another girl who makes your heart flutter and whom you cherish.”

After a long time, Su Ming placed the letter on the table, his hands gradually returned to normal, and his surging heart calmed down.

He looked at the placed letter and pondered.

Now there were two pieces of news: the good news was that Lin Chuyu had responded to the previous love letter. The bad news was that this seemed to be a ‘good person’ card!

When Su Ming thought of the ‘good person’ card, a strange expression immediately appeared on his face, feeling odd.

The unavoidable dream Lin Chuyu mentioned in her reply felt like an excuse to Su Ming, though it didn’t rule out that she truly had a dream she absolutely had to achieve.

But no matter what, Su Ming still admired Lin Chuyu very much. This girl was beautiful, poised, very polite, and full of a sense of justice, kindness, and courage.

Not everyone could risk being eliminated in such an important City Exam to save others.

It was basically hard to find flaws in Lin Chuyu.

“Forget it, I won’t think about it.”

Su Ming shook his head.

The next morning.

Su Ming lay on the ground, hands behind his head, laboriously doing sit-ups.

“27, 28”

On the wall in front of him, a computer image was projected.

The images were all about recent very popular events, as well as special interviews about the City Exam.

A short-haired, professional, intellectual female host politely asked the famous education expert, Mr. Nangus.

“Mr. Nangus, how do you view the practical aspect of this City Exam? So far, the Old Federation has received a large number of complaints from sixteen districts. They believe that this City Exam reform was very sudden, and they were completely unprepared. Furthermore, due to the Royal Court Order’s rudeness, many students suffered psychological trauma and performed abnormally! Especially the assessment of the auxiliary subjects, which was a complete mess.”

“Danni, regarding this City Exam reform, I don’t think there’s a problem. On the contrary, I think it’s very good.”

Nangus thought for a moment and replied.

“Is it really good? All sixteen districts’ auxiliary subject exams failed to pass. Many people even openly declared online that this task was simply impossible to complete.”

Host Danni retorted.
