Chapter 747: Chapter 747: The Modest Top Student
Liang Yin felt a little lingering fear.
Earlier, the way that man looked at her made her inexplicably afraid.
Perhaps it is because Huo Tinghan always has a stern face and rarely smiles. Coupled with his high position for many years, at some point he developed a decisive and harsh aura, just like Huo Tingdong back in the day.
The father and son increasingly share similar styles.
That’s why Liang Yin felt that the man’s aura was a bit terrifying.
Rong Yin said: “Ever since I can remember, he’s always been fierce like that. What, are you afraid of him too?”
Who would have thought that Liang Yin would be frightened by his gaze?
Liang Yin said: “Not exactly afraid, just feeling… his eyes look like they could eat someone.”
Rong Yin couldn’t help but laugh but covered his mouth, trying not to laugh out loud: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one will dare to eat you.”
Liang Yin teased: “Aren’t you afraid of him too? You’re even afraid of your brother.”
Rong Yin: “You don’t understand, my brother suppresses me by blood. As for Tinghan… Linzhou and I both respect and fear him because he’s older than us.”
Liang Yin suddenly thought of something, and curiously asked: “Earlier, when the car was parked at the entrance, I heard someone call your brother ‘President Li’.”
Paused for a moment, she asked in confusion: “Do you have a different last name from him?”
Rong Yin said: “He took my mom’s last name, I took my dad’s.”
Imagining for a moment, based on Li Junyan being nearly thirty, her dad should be at least in his fifties.
So, does that mean Rong Yin was a late-born child for the Rong Family?
Liang Yin: “Your brother is so handsome, your dad must have been quite the looker when young!”
Rong Yin: “What do you mean? Am I not handsome? And, my brother doesn’t take after my dad, I do. But you’re right about one thing, my dad is indeed a handsome man, and when we go out, people often think we’re brothers.”
Liang Yin was somewhat surprised: “Your dad takes such good care of himself?”
Rong Yin raised his eyebrow: “He’s barely in his forties.”
Liang Yin: “…Your dad got married to your mom when he was ten!?”
Wait, that’s not right.
Liang Yin’s brain stalled for a few seconds: “You and your brother aren’t from the same dad?”
Rong Yin laughed: “Your reaction is pretty quick! My brother and I have the same mom but different dads. However, my brother and I have always been very close.”
Rather than saying they’re close, it might be better to say that Li Junyan is his natural nemesis.
After Rong Yin was born, everyone in the Li Family spoiled him to the bone.
Especially Grandpa, who cherished him tremendously.
And Rong Ling was busy with his career, so usually Li Yufei took care of him. Perhaps he was spoiled from a young age, ever since he could remember, Rong Yin has been rebellious, headstrong, and unruly. Li Yufei couldn’t bear to be harsh with him, and he didn’t listen to reasoning either.
It was Li Junyan who was direct, and when his little brother was misbehaving, he’d just use his fists.
As a result, Rong Yin was afraid of being beaten and is quite submissive to Li Junyan.
By high school, Rong Yin had some skills, was a bit adept at fighting, and even thought about “rebellion”, challenging Li Junyan deliberately.
Yet, whether due to bloodline suppression or Li Junyan being “more skilled”, each time he’d be taken down in a few moves by his brother.
He completely admitted defeat.
Liang Yin nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly thought of something: “Hey, you’re not allowed to make random claims anymore.”
Rong Yin: “What did I say that was random?”
Liang Yin: “When you said I’m your girlfriend.”
Rong Yin: “Oh! Why?”
Liang Yin: “Others will misunderstand that I’m your girlfriend, don’t you think that’s weird?”
Rong Yin rested his chin on his hand leisurely: “What’s weird about it?”
Liang Yin: “I’m not your girlfriend.”
Rong Yin pouted: “Then how should I introduce you in the future?”
Liang Yin laughed: “Just say I’m your tutor, hired by your mom to deal with you, the little brat.”
Rong Yin: “…”
Normally, if anyone dared call him a brat, he wouldn’t let them off easily.
But when she calls him a “little brat”, somehow… he doesn’t really mind.
Unknowingly, time slipped away, second by second.
Liang Yin sat for a while, checked the time, then suddenly stood up and said: “I have to go.”
Rong Yin was about to sing, but when he saw her leaving, he got a bit anxious: “Why are you leaving?”
Liang Yin: “The dormitory curfew is at ten, if I don’t leave now, I’ll be locked out.”
College dormitories all have curfews, and at Jinghua University, the curfew is at ten. After ten, the doors close and students can’t enter or leave. The dorm supervisor will check rooms, and if she’s not back, she’ll be named and reported, possibly even losing credit points.
If credit points are deducted, it would affect scholarship evaluations.
Moreover, the showers stop at eleven, so she has to hurry back to take a bath.
Rong Yin said: “If it’s too late, you can stay at my place, we have plenty of rooms.”
Liang Yin: “No way, if I lose credit points, will you compensate me?”
Rong Yin: “I’ll compensate you with myself.”
Li Junyan just entered the room, heard their banter, and realized Liang Yin needed to catch the curfew, so he scolded Rong Yin: “Ah Yin, stop fooling around.”
Rong Yin looked at Li Junyan and behaved.
Li Junyan came over and said: “Liang, if you want to go back to school, I can take you.”
Liang Yin: “I can get a cab myself.”
Li Junyan: “It’s hard to get a cab at this hour. Besides, you’re a girl, it’s not safe late at night. Let me take you.”
After saying that, he picked up his coat and headed to the door, looking at Liang Yin.
Only then did Liang Yin obediently follow: “Thank you, Brother Junyan.”
She turned back to bid everyone goodbye: “Bye.”
Huo Linzhou suddenly stood up too and said: “Junyan, give me a ride home too; it’s late, and my mommy will worry.”
Li Junyan: “Alright.”
The three of them left the room together.
Liang Yin followed closely behind Li Junyan, while Huo Linzhou sat on her left side.
She took out her phone to check the time and caught out of the corner of her eye that Huo Linzhou seemed to be staring at her.
Liang Yin confusedly met his gaze: “What’s up… Why are you staring at me?”
Rong Yin’s brothers are all so strange, seeing her with expressions as if they saw a ghost.
Huo Linzhou said: “I just feel like we must have met somewhere before.”
Liang Yin said: “I’m from the Foreign Languages class.”
Huo Linzhou suddenly remembered: “Does your seat face the window?”
Liang Yin: “Yeah, I always sit by the window.”
Huo Linzhou: “I see.”
Every time he passed by the Foreign Languages class, he would inadvertently encounter her.
Li Junyan asked: “Are you majoring in Foreign Languages?”
Liang Yin: “Yes.”
Her aspiration is to become a Diplomat after graduation. The threshold for a Diplomat is high, and if job prospects don’t go well, at the very least, she can work in a foreign enterprise.
She has a very clear and bright plan for her future.
Li Junyan: “But I heard from my mother that you’re also excellent in science.”
Liang Yin humbly said: “Thank you, actually, I was the top science scorer in the college entrance examination. I initially planned to apply to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but…”
Li Junyan: “But?”
Liang Yin flashed a simple smile: “After the college entrance exams, I received a guaranteed admission notice from Jinghua University.”
