Second Shift.
--------
"Looking at you like this..." Yang Xiaoli appraised Lin ngran, "Maybe you really can end up with Zuo Qian, you’re so concerned about him. If you say you have no feelings for him, I wouldn’t believe it even if you threatened ."
Lin ngran was exasperated: "I just know he has good character. I don’t want to let it benefit outsiders, so I hope one of you among us can take him up, Jingbo, think about it more."
Wu Jingbo, who had been silent, gave her a faint glance and turned his head to ignore her.
"Why is it like this..." Lin ngran sprawled gloomily on the table, then suddenly perked up, staring straight at the girl who just walked in at the doorway, "Why... why is she here?!"
Too emotional, her voice was sowhat loud. The people nearby turned their heads, and Chuxia helplessly rubbed her forehead to block everyone’s gaze. This person was so startled, does she want to be the focus of the whole class?
"Do you know her?" Chuxia asked softly.
Yang Xiaoli was also taking stock of the girl: "Lin ngran, why do I feel she looks a bit like you? Could she be your relative? Or... is she your sister?"
Lin ngran sighed: "You guessed right, but no reward."
"Is she really your sister?" Yang Xiaoli turned her head to look at her, "I was just saying it randomly, how did I guess right?! What’s the aning behind her coming, is she here to accompany you? Or is she following true love here?"
"If I knew, I wouldn’t be so surprised..." Lin ngran sighed, lowering her head, "She can do whatever she wants, after all, I can’t control her."
In this generation, Lin ngye had already sat down. With no seats at the back, she took a place in the first row.
At this mont, Zuo Qian also had a headache. He knew clearly Lin ngye didn’t participate in the entrance exam. Before coming to school, he had even gone to bid farewell to her, and at that ti, she definitely had no intention of studying at A University. Why did she suddenly show up?
If she’s here to find soone, she wouldn’t be sitting in the classroom. Could it be... his brow furrowed. If he’s guessed it right, life would be tough afterwards.
"Worried?" Ou Yi casually looked at him, "How did I say it yesterday? Between these two, you must declare your stance, otherwise, the muddled situation will be hard to endure."
"Ah!" Zuo Qian sighed heavily, "One is the girl I like, and the other is my closest sister, how should I choose? If it were you, what would you do?"
"Whoever’s right, support them."
"How is there a right or wrong in such matters?"
"It depends if you want to choose... Ou Yi glanced at Lin ngye’s back and chortled, "Which one is kinder, you know in your heart, right?"
Zuo Qian stayed silent. This was the issue Ou Yi had ntioned yesterday. Of course, he understood Ou Yi’s aning, but just blindly supporting Lin ngran wasn’t sothing he could do either.
Lin ngye has always been the princess of his heart, from childhood to adulthood. Although her sches are deeper than ngran’s, she hasn’t done anything excessively wrong until now.
Moreover, as the primary candidate for the head of the Lin Family, how could she fare without any machinations?
Therefore, from this aspect, he acknowledges Lin ngye, and genuinely feels Lin ngye is more suited to be the family head than Lin ngran. But to firmly support her, that’s sothing he can’t do either. He hopes in this struggle, the sisters can earn their rightful place based on their own abilities...
"Alright, don’t put on such a bitter face..." Ou Yi leaned his head closer, whispering, "Since you’ve decided not to help anyone, stick to it. Of course, if you’ve already made your choice, that’s another story."
"I’ve said, ngran is my sister..." Zuo Qian glared at him annoyed, "How exactly should I put it so you understand, I’m not wavering in emotions but... but I don’t want to lose both love and family."
"Yesterday you also ntioned ever since..." Seeing Zuo Qian’s face darken, Ou Yi quickly changed the subject, "Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore. You don’t get too bothered, let’s see how it goes. Maybe it’s not as complicated as we think."
"Hmm." Zuo Qian responded gloomily, his gaze complex as he stared at Lin ngye for a while, then turned to Ou Yi. With a face full of sincerity, he apologized: "I’m sorry."
"Alright, if I held it against you, we wouldn’t be friends anymore." Ou Yi sighed softly, not saying more.
He and Zuo Qian had only gotten closer in recent years, developing into dear friends. Witnessing Zuo Qian persist and get hurt in this relationship, he felt it wasn’t worth it for him.
Lin ngye was using Zuo Qian as a fallback; he saw it clearly. Paradoxically, this buddy also understood Lin ngye’s intentions, yet he just couldn’t let go.
