During the meal, Shan An’an’s gaze seemed a bit off.

“No way… Could Lin Yushan actually harbor those kinds of feelings for this silly big guy?”

From Yue Jiannan’s accent and attire, it was clear he was from the countryside.

Their family backgrounds were also mismatched.

But Lin Yushan appeared gentle and soft, yet she never feigned interest in any of her suitors.

Why did she end up having multiple meals with Yue Jiannan of all people?

All of this added up, and Shan An’an couldn’t help but overthink.

While she was still entangled in thoughts, Yue Jiannan remained completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere and continued to gobble down his food.

He almost choked from eating too fast and was patting his chest when a bowl of soup was pushed in front of him.

“Eat slower.”

Lin Yushan smiled at him slightly, and Yue Jiannan’s face turned red.

It wasn’t embarrassment, but rather embarrassment.

He felt like he had embarrassed himself in front of the girls.

He took a gulp of soup and finally managed to catch his breath.

“Sorry about that. I’m used to this, always eating fast so I can save more time to go back and study.”

Lin Yushan said admiringly, “Senior Jiannan, you’re really remarkable, so hardworking and serious.”

Yue Jiannan hastily shook his head, “I’ve told you, no need to call me senior, just my name is fine.”

Lin Yushan nodded and softly called out his name, Jiannan, then her own face reddened.

Shan An’an’s hand holding her chopsticks suddenly froze.

Yue Jiannan also realized something was amiss.

“Yushan, are you feeling a bit hot? Your nose is even sweating.”

Yue Qingqing: “…”

Lin Yushan hurriedly fanned herself, “A little, I’ll be better once I go outside.”

Actually, it’s no wonder Yue Jiannan wouldn’t consider that possibility.

In his eyes, even Yu Yaxian seemed to find thousand ways to loathe him.

How could a girl like Lin Yushan, whose background was clearly not lacking, have any sort of interest in him?

He simply thought she was too sincere, wanting to repay him using this method for a pair of gloves.

Perhaps that’s just the way city folk do things.

I don’t understand, nor dare to ask.

After the meal, Yue Jiannan and Lin Yushan said goodbye to each other, and he took Yue Qingqing on a stroll around the campus.

Yue Qingqing asked him, “Uncle, have you been studying properly recently?”

Yue Jiannan immediately puffed up with pride, “Isn’t that a silly question? Your uncle is amazing, I’ll take you to see the rankings.”

Saying so, he led Yue Qingqing to the notice board on the first floor of the teaching building.

The monthly exam results were always posted on it.

Yue Jiannan pointed at a bunch of papers, “Let’s test you, can you find your uncle?”

Yue Qingqing actually knew the names of all her family members and began looking through them.

There were many characters with complex strokes she had not learned yet, and some characters she could only half recognize.

But she had learned the name Yue Jiannan from her grandma.

“This one!”

Yue Jiannan patted Yue Qingqing’s head, “That’s right! Seems you haven’t been skiving off.”

“1, 2, 3, 4, 5…”

Yue Qingqing counted them off one by one and said in an innocent tone, “Uncle, why are you only ranked 18th? Any lower and I’d hardly be able to find you.”

Yue Jiannan’s air of arrogance was immediately suppressed as he said quietly, “I studied by myself before coming to school, making the list is already quite an achievement.”

Though he said that, he had lost his earlier smugness.

Yue Qingqing asked confusedly, “How high do you need to rank to become a university student?”

Yue Jiannan became even more downhearted, “Ranking within the top three in the school is pretty stable, top five is a bit risky, any lower than that and maybe a college would still be possible.”

The college entrance examinations of that era hadn’t expanded enrollment like they would in the future; it truly was a case of ‘thousands of troops on a single-log bridge’.

Many counties and cities could only produce one or two university students, and the names of those who made it would immediately become well-known to every household upon the release of the results.

Zhuancheng No. 1 High School, being one of the schools with better teaching resources, could only guarantee that the first two or three students would secure admission.

Yue Qingqing sympathetically uttered, “Uncle, you need to work even harder.”

Yue Jiannan had lost his mood to brag and only felt that his recent sense of self-satisfaction was somewhat laughable.

He had originally thought he was working hard, but now it seemed far from enough.

Especially since the names of Song Qiming and Yu Yaxian were still ranked above his.

Yue Jiannan said downheartedly, “Let’s tour the campus again after the college entrance exams are over. I need to go to the classroom to study now. Would you mind keeping your uncle company, Qingqing?”

Yue Qingqing nodded obediently and followed Yue Jiannan upstairs.
