Huh? Confess after the college entrance examination?
Lin Jinran stared at the message Shen Tingsi had sent, reading and rereading it. The words "confess" were really eye - catching.
After the college entrance examination... By then, her mother should have woken up.
Duan Dongwei once said that she could use getting into Tsinghua or Peking University to stimulate her mother to wake up. Coupled with the medical technology introduced from abroad, the probability of her mother waking up was relatively high.
By that time, she should be with Su Qinian.
[Xu Jiaxin]: "Jinran, I didn't expect you to be the first one among us to get in a relationship. What does that Su guy look like? I don't remember. I only remember he seems really handsome, comparable to Tingsi."
[Shen Tingsi]: "..."
[Lin Jinran]: "I don't know either. My mother hasn't woken up yet. We'll talk about it later."
After chatting with Xu Jiaxin and Shen Tingsi for a while, the taxi stopped. As soon as Lin Jinran got out of the taxi, she ran into Song Langqing, who was coming back from playing basketball outside.
Song Langqing directly wished Lin Jinran a happy birthday and eagerly pulled her home to celebrate.
Aunt Ying had carefully prepared five dishes and a soup, and Uncle Song bought a cake from outside. With the blessings of her family, Lin Jinran made the same wish as in the afternoon.
She hoped that her mother could wake up and that she could get into Tsinghua or Peking University to fulfill her regret.
The next day was Sunday. Lin Jinran came to the classroom early to study. A phone rang, showing that the call was from a food delivery service.
Huh? Lin Jinran answered the call in confusion. The loud - voiced deliveryman shouted on the other end of the phone, "Hello, your 99 roses have been delivered to the school gate. When can you come and pick them up?"
99 roses?
Who sent them? She remembered that her birthday was already over.
Su Qinian? Impossible. The 666 pink lychee roses he sent were still at home. Xie Wanyu, Tao Wan and the others? Also impossible. They had already given their gifts yesterday.
Could it be her two childhood friends?
Lin Jinran replied that she would go right away. She lowered her head and sent a message to her two childhood friends, asking when they had bought the roses.
However... Sending roses didn't seem like the style of Xu Jiaxin and Shen Tingsi.
Then who could it be?
The deliveryman called again to urge her. Lin Jinran rushed downstairs in a hurry. Just then, she ran into Su Qinian who was coming up. Without a word, she dragged him downstairs to help her pick up the roses.
At the school gate, the bright and fresh roses fluttered in the wind, looking like a red cloud on fire and giving off a fragrant smell.
The deliveryman handed the roses to Lin Jinran and left after successfully completing the task.
There were students coming and going around. Lin Jinran struggled to hold the roses and took a deep breath. They smelled really good.
Fortunately, there were not many students coming to school at this time, and the grade director hadn't come to work yet. Su Qinian took the roses from her, and the two quickly returned to the classroom.
Compared with the 666 pink lychee roses from yesterday afternoon, the 99 roses were just a piece of cake and completely incomparable.
"Ranran, who sent you these roses?" In his usually calm tone, Lin Jinran seemed to smell a hint of jealousy.
Lin Jinran let out a puff of laughter and shook her head. "I don't know either. No one told me they were going to send me roses."
"There's a note beside the roses. Take a look." Su Qinian noticed it at a glance.
Lin Jinran pulled out the note and looked down.
The note said, "Lin Jinran, I know others have already wished you a happy birthday, and I'm one day late. In that case, I wish you surprises everywhere in your life and full of little blessings."
The signature was a single character "Qiao".
Qiao? Qiao Songyue?
Among the people she knew, she was the only one with the surname Qiao.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Lin Jinran looked down and saw that it was a message from Qiao Songyue.
[Qiao Songyue]: "Did you receive the flowers? There are 99 roses in total. If I weren't afraid of being too showy, I would have sent you 999 roses."
9, 999 roses?
The 666 pink lychee roses from yesterday afternoon were already huge. If there were 999 more roses, it was likely that the rented house would have to be given to these two giant bouquets of flowers.
[Lin Jinran]: "I received them. It's too eye - catching to put them at school. Photo.jpg"
[Qiao Songyue]: "Just keep them. Oh, right. There's also a pair of earrings in the middle of the flowers. Look for them."
[Qiao Songyue]: "My friend should naturally enjoy the highest - level treatment on her birthday. Everything should be the best. You're the one protected by this young lady."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Jinran could almost imagine that flamboyant and bright young lady with her arms crossed, proudly snorting.
Lin Jinran curled her lips and lowered her head to rummage through the roses. Sure enough, she found a jewelry box. When she opened it, it was a pair of pearl earrings from a current luxury brand.
The price tag had been removed. Lin Jinran took a picture of the whole thing and sent it to her.
[Lin Jinran]: "This is too precious. Flowers and earrings. Last time you also sent me a diamond necklace."
[Qiao Songyue]: "Just keep them. Anyway, I've already given them to you. As long as you don't return them, it's up to you how to deal with them. Moreover, I haven't had the chance to thank you for clearing my name. Consider these earrings as my thanks."
Qiao Songyue had the same old temper.
Lin Jinran shook her head helplessly, put away the earrings and placed them in her desk.
[Lin Jinran]: "Thank you anyway, Qiao Songyue. Take care of yourself when you're alone abroad."
Later, Lin Jinran told Su Qinian the story of these 99 roses. Su Qinian was also stunned. A smile slowly appeared on his lips. He just shook his head and didn't say a word.
As evening self - study was approaching, the students in the class came back one after another. Without exception, when they saw the roses under Lin Jinran's desk, they curiously asked if they were sent by Su Qinian.
Lin Jinran said they were sent by a friend.
The head teacher also came once. When he saw the roses under the desk, he stared at them for a long time. Finally, he didn't say a word, just shook his head and left the classroom.
It seemed that since the live - broadcast incident last time, the students and the teacher in the class had taken extra care of her. Lin Jinran knew it was everyone's kindness.
They didn't gossip or say anything explicitly. Instead, they turned it into actions and silently took care of her in various things.
The head teacher was the same.
When he saw the bouquet of roses, he must have thought they were sent by Su Qinian, but Zhou Ping didn't say a word, for fear of hurting her.
The results of the second joint examination came out. Lin Jinran got rid of her third - place ranking last time and jumped to first place in this joint examination.
The schools participating in this joint examination were not as comprehensive as last time, so the competitive pressure was a bit smaller.
As soon as the results came out, the head teacher praised her highly in class and asked the students to learn from her. The surrounding students also sent their blessings one after another.
Lin Jinran stared at her ranking and showed a relieved smile. After working hard for half a year, she finally surpassed Su Qinian and became the first.
Tsinghua or Peking University was already within her grasp.
Tsinghua or Peking University, wait for me!
Mom, you will definitely wake up!
