"Lin Jie, who sent you these flowers!" Lu Youchuan's eyes widened in surprise. He shouted at the top of his voice through the crowd. "These flowers are quite beautiful. The sender has good taste." Xie Wanyu, who had just entered through the front door, quickly stopped in her tracks, took a step back, and walked around to Lin Jinran's side. She exclaimed in admiration.
Tao Wan held back her laughter and stole a glance at Su Qinian. Then she turned to Lin Jinran and asked, "Come on, be honest. Who sent you the flowers? Could it be the boy you were with this morning?"
One after another, her friends asked questions. Lin Jinran coughed to relieve her embarrassment. She stepped through the doorway into the classroom and took her seat.
The bright sunflower bouquet was placed on the desk.
"I bought you some mineral water." Su Qinian acted nonchalantly and pushed a bottle of water over.
His gaze fell on the beautiful sunflowers. His eyes were as deep as a pool. He took a deep breath to hide his irritation.
"Thank you~" After hosting for an hour without a sip of water, the bottle Su Qinian offered was exactly what she needed.
Lin Jinran unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp. Some water dribbled out of the corner of her mouth. She casually wiped it off and screwed the cap back on.
"These flowers are quite beautiful." Su Qinian commented casually. His eyes rippled slightly, and his tone was cold.
"They really are." Lin Jinran didn't think much about it. She looked around. The desks were all filled with books. Then she turned to look at the windowsill next to Su Qinian. There was just enough space.
"Hey, Su Qinian, how about putting this bouquet on the windowsill next to you? I can see the flowers as soon as I look up, and the passing classmates can see them too. You can see them as well."
Su Qinian was silent for a moment, as if trying his best to hold back something. He didn't say a word.
He remembered what "Wanshan Hongbian" had told him, that there was a boy who liked her, and she seemed to have fallen for that boy.
"Sure..." he said softly, his voice a bit hoarse.
He had to trust Lin Jinran. He just wasn't used to controlling his emotions when he was jealous, as he rarely experienced it.
"Hey, Lin Jinran, you still haven't told us who sent you the flowers." Tao Wan couldn't stand Su Qinian's jealousy, whether overt or covert. She asked the question on his behalf.
Lin Jinran first placed the flowers in a good position. She propped her hands on the desk and replied, "It's the boy I was with this morning."
Tao Wan's eyes sparkled with excitement, like someone eager to hear gossip.
Lin Jinran mercilessly shattered her wild imaginings. "Don't misunderstand. He's my younger brother."
"Brother?" Tao Wan was confused. Why had she never heard that Lin Jinran had a younger brother before?
Wasn't it said that her parents had passed away...
Su Qinian, who had been listening attentively, slightly shifted his gaze. He turned his head to look at her.
"Didn't we make the news because of the incident with Wei Liang last time? A friend of my mother's in Wannanshi found me. That aunt is really nice. She always takes good care of me."
Lin Jinran smiled softly. "The boy I was with this morning is that aunt's son. His name is Song Langqing. This bouquet of flowers was sent to me by the aunt through him. She said that since it was my first time hosting, she must send me a bouquet of flowers to reward me."
"Song Langqing was also afraid of any rumors. As soon as he handed me the flowers, he ran away. Well, the flowers were not sent by him but by his mother. Song Langqing always calls me sister. Naturally, I regard him as my younger brother. Hey, don't think too much and tease me."
"So that's how it is." Tao Wan rested her chin on one hand. She tilted her head and glanced at Su Qinian. With a mischievous look, she said, "If you hadn't explained, someone would have been jealous."
"Yeah, the vinegar jar has been knocked over. I can smell such a strong sour smell. It's killing me." Xie Wanyu chimed in.
The person who was about to be jealous: "..."
Su Qinian lifted his chin slightly, as if glaring at Tao Wan. He said in a deep voice, "I wonder who this someone you're talking about is."
"Whoever responds is the one. Isn't it obvious?" Tao Wan smiled sweetly and retorted.
Su Qinian, speechless once again: "..."
Lin Jinran unscrewed the bottle cap again and took a sip of water to moisten her throat. Then she said, "Don't tease the class monitor anymore. It's not nice."
Su Qinian was touched, while Tao Wan was surprised.
Lin Jinran gave a sly smile and continued, "What if someone whispers about you behind your back? Or what if someone uses the class monitor's privilege to plot against you?"
Su Qinian: "..."
"That won't happen. Don't forget, I'm the vice-class monitor. The class monitor can't be all-powerful." Tao Wan tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear and smiled.
Su Qinian looked at Lin Jinran with a pitiable look, as if accusing her. "Lin Jinran, look at me. Do I look like such a person?"
Lin Jinran burst out laughing. She shook her head while laughing. "I was just joking. How could you be such a person? You're a beautiful and kind-hearted class monitor."
Beautiful and kind-hearted class monitor?
Was this a new way of complimenting someone?
Su Qinian was stunned.
He stood there, completely frozen.
Finally, Su Qinian forced a smile, which looked worse than crying. "Yes... a beautiful and kind-hearted class monitor..."
After Lin Jinran hosted the grade assembly for the first time, Teacher Li entrusted her with all subsequent grade assemblies. She had become Teacher Li's new favorite.
In addition, whenever there was a competition or an activity in the college that needed a host, Teacher Li would occasionally assign her to participate while taking into account her class schedule.
She was beautiful, with a sweet voice, a good image, and excellent temperament.
Basically, all the school leaders and teachers knew her.
As her popularity grew, the discussions never stopped, especially on the school forum.
"Look at her. She's in the top ten of the grade, good-looking, and so capable. I'm so envious. I'm tired of saying the word 'envious'."
"The latest photos of the goddess host are out. Just tell me, isn't she beautiful? Isn't she amazing?"
"Ah ah ah, the angle you took in this photo is really super beautiful. It's amazing. Please share the photography tutorial!!!"
"Am I the only one shipping this CP? Lin Jinran and Su Qinian. Oh my god, they're a handsome guy and a beautiful girl. They're so pleasing to the eye. I can't get enough of them."
"Wuwuwu. It's all my fault for not studying hard. Now all I can say is 'wow'."
"If this beautiful CP isn't locked down, it's just unfair to me. Lock them down immediately!!! "
"This angle is so beautiful. Oh no, it feels like the right atrium is receiving all the venous blood from the body, which is then pumped out from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. At this time, the pulmonary artery contains venous blood. After gas exchange in the lungs, it becomes oxygen-rich arterial blood, which is sent to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and then pumped to the whole body through the aorta of the left ventricle."
"Above poster... You're amazing..."
"..."
