Chapter 2035: Chapter 178: Quarrel

Yin Yifan sighed and said, “If only you could be my leading lady, then I wouldn’t be so annoyed.”

Lu Yinxing replied, “No way, I don’t want any more scandals with you. Big star, please spare me. Let’s keep as much distance as possible from now on.”

Yin Yifan suddenly said, “Lu Yinxing, is your heart made of stone?”

Lu Yinxing looked puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Yin Yifan said nothing and hung up the phone.

Lu Yinxing was even more puzzled.

In the evening, Lu Yinxing was planning to go out.

Lin Zhi had invited all the summer camp members for a meal.

Given all they’d been through together, naturally, no one would refuse.

Xia Ye happened to be coming out of the room, ready to leave.

Lin Zhi had made a reservation at the Qians’ Courtyard.

It’s actually not far from Maple Villa.

A taxi ride would only take around ten minutes.

Although earlier, Xia Ye seemed a bit displeased because of too many issues with Lu Yinxing.

But Lu Yinxing had resolved not to hold a grudge from the bottom of her heart.

So along the way, Lu Yinxing chatted with Xia Ye.

But she didn’t ask any more about his situation with Lin Zhi.

Soon, they arrived at the Qians’ Courtyard.

Lin Zhi had already booked a private room.

A server was waiting outside.

Then led them into the private room.

Most of the others were already there.

The summer camp members had all been invited.

But Lu Yinxing didn’t see Yao Xiaoqiang.

Everyone seemed to know the reason.

Probably Lin Zhi had invited everyone except Yao Xiaoqiang.

Maybe to avoid upsetting the man of the day, Xia Ye.

Lin Zhi was sitting down.

When the door to the private room opened, Lu Yinxing and Xia Ye appeared at the entrance.

Lin Zhi’s face showed a hint of surprise and delight.

Lin Zhi quickly stood up and walked to the entrance.

Lin Zhi walked over to Xia Ye’s side.

Lin Zhi’s tone clearly had a note of surprise: “I thought you wouldn’t come?”

She spoke very softly.

But standing next to her, Lu Yinxing heard everything clearly.

It seemed that the two of them hadn’t completely reconciled.

But Lu Yinxing also knew that Xia Ye was all hard on the outside but soft on the inside to those he cared about.

Lin Zhi had invited him, but he didn’t say he’d come.

Yet he ended up coming with her.

What does that say?

It shows that he still cared about Lin Zhi deep down.

Everyone had taken their seats.

Except for the two seats next to Lin Zhi that were empty.

Lu Yinxing tactfully let Xia Ye and Lin Zhi sit together.

Dinner started quickly.

The server poured juice into everyone’s glasses.

Lin Zhi stood up and said, “This trip has truly been an unforgettable experience. In my otherwise smooth life, going through such thrilling events feels like a blessing. Of course, the best part is meeting so many important friends. Let’s toast, hoping our friendship continues.”

Lin Zhi is a top student in her class.

While most of them are from Class 13, barely passing.

For Lin Zhi to regard everyone as friends and say such words,

most people were very touched.

Mai Xiaoqi said, “Let’s toast. From now on, we promise to always be good friends.”

Everyone raised their glasses.

But Xia Ye was the last to pick up his glass.

He didn’t say a word,

just lazily sipped from his glass and sat down without much care.

But everyone was used to Xia Ye’s aloof personality.

It was a lively meal, with lots of cheerful conversation.

They talked about the dangerous events during the adventure.

Feeling both thrilling and a bit apprehensive in retrospect.

Guo Kaiti said regretfully, “It’s just a pity that we missed the meteor shower we originally came to see.”

Lu Yinxing said surprisingly, “We did see it, the Leonid meteor shower; it was spectacular.”

Mai Xiaoqi and Guo Kaiti looked astonished.

The reason they missed the meteor shower was because, after the incident, everyone panicked and went out looking for rescue teams.

Naturally, they missed the meteor shower.

Meanwhile, Lu Yinxing and the others had drifted to an island.

Lu Yinxing got stung by a jellyfish and thought it was an illusion.

The scene was like a dream, beautifully surreal and unforgettable.

Talking about this made everyone envious of these four.

Zhou Yimeng said, “You girls must’ve made wishes when you saw the meteor shower. Mengmeng, what was your wish? Share it with us?”

That sentence put all the attention on Wu Mengmeng.

Wu Mengmeng suddenly blushed.

Unconsciously glanced at Wu Wei beside her.

Wu Wei said casually, “Why are you looking at me?”

Everyone joked, “Could it be your wish is related to this troublemaker? I bet she wished you would disappear so you wouldn’t bully her anymore.”

Wu Wei elbowed Wu Mengmeng and asked, “Hey, what’s your wish? Is it about me?”

Wu Mengmeng didn’t want to say.

Lu Yinxing chimed in, “Wishes won’t come true if you say them out loud. Don’t bully Mengmeng, okay?”

With Lu Yinxing’s words, the joking stopped.

Lin Zhi said, “By the way, the report cards are out. The school should be sending out notifications in the next couple of days. I checked it in advance, and Xia Ye is again first in the school.”

Lin Zhi glanced at Xia Ye as she said this.

With a hint of pride in her eyes.

But Xia Ye winning first place wasn’t news to anyone.

It would be surprising if he didn’t come in first one day.

However, hearing about the final scores dampened everyone’s spirits.

Some even looked a bit down.

Mai Xiaoqi said, “We’ll be re-assigned to classes based on our grades in the new term. Mengmeng probably did well, so will she be going back to the Olympia Class?”

Wu Mengmeng came from the Olympia Class, and her usual grades were way out of reach for most of them.

According to the school’s class assignment rules based on grades.

Mengmeng would likely return to the Olympia Class next term.

Wu Mengmeng is soft-spoken and the beloved by the class.

Her grades are excellent, and she’s patient with every student.

Helping classmates with homework and participating in various competitions to bring pride to their class.

She had obviously become the face of Class 13.

So if Wu Mengmeng left Class 13 after the finals, everyone would likely be sad.

Wu Wei didn’t seem happy either: “Can’t you just purposely score lower?”

Zhou Yimeng said teasingly, “Purposely score lower? Wu Wei, you don’t want Mengmeng to leave. Why bully her all the time if you’ll miss her?”

Wu Wei said, “When did I ever bully her?”

Wu Mengmeng said, “I’ve already told the principal that I won’t change classes.”

Beside him, Wu Wei seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

The others were also happy.

At this moment, Lin Zhi said, “I really don’t know what’s so appealing about class 13. First, they lured away a top student from our class, and now they’ve lured away the class president of the Olympia Class. I guess when school starts, this will undoubtedly become another big sensation across the school.”

When Lin Zhi said this, everyone was stunned.

What does this mean?

What does it mean by luring away the class president?

Isn’t Wen Quan the president of the Olympia Class?

Wen Quan was also present at the table.

Everyone’s gaze naturally fell on him.

But Wen Quan just smiled, “It’s just an occasional mistake.”

With Wen Quan saying this, everyone basically understood.

He probably messed up the exam and would be assigned to class 13 when school started.

But what they couldn’t understand was.

He was the class president of the Olympia Class.

An all-round top student.

No matter how bad he did, it’s impossible for him to end up in class 13.

Almost everyone had guessed it.

Lu Yinxing had also figured it out.

Guo Kaiti, being straightforward, said: “Wen Quan, did you deliberately mess up to get assigned to our class? Is it because of Yinxing, because of the rumors about Yinxing and Yin Yifan at school?”

Actually, this was what everyone basically thought too.

Lu Yinxing’s face turned dark.

Wen Quan was right beside her.

Lu Yinxing asked, “Wen Quan, did you do it on purpose?”

Wen Quan denied it, “I really didn’t do it on purpose. I just filled out the answer sheet incorrectly.”

Lu Yinxing couldn’t believe it.

Lu Yinxing suddenly became very worried.

Because Wen Quan was never like this before.

Previously, Wen Quan’s scores dropped in a mock exam, and he also said it was an accident.

But Wen Quan had never had accidents growing up.

After all these years, Lu Yinxing knew him well.

Lu Yinxing’s face turned even darker.

She directly grabbed Wen Quan’s arm, “Come outside with me.”

Then under everyone’s astonished eyes, the two of them walked out of the private room.

In the empty corridor.

Lu Yinxing appeared heartbroken, “Wen Quan, what’s wrong with you? Why are you doing this? Don’t you know you’re playing with your future?”

Yet Wen Quan still wore a smile, “Don’t worry about me, it really was an accident.”

Lu Yinxing didn’t believe it at all.

“Next semester we’ll be in our senior year, about to take the college entrance exam. How can you do this? You’re not like me; I probably can’t get into college, but you’re meant for Tsinghua or Peking University. This will really disappoint everyone.”

Wen Quan stepped forward.

With a more serious expression on his face, Wen Quan said, “Isn’t it great for us to be in the same class? At least this year, I can still help you with your studies.”

Lu Yinxing knew Wen Quan had other motives.

But the resources and teaching methods between class 13 and the Olympia Class are different after all.

More importantly, the learning environment is also different.

Wen Quan definitely doesn’t fit class 13.

Lu Yinxing said, “I never thought of going to college; I don’t need your help with studies; my life is different from yours. You should be like my brother, getting into a top university and becoming a leader in different fields. You shouldn’t be gambling with your future.”

Wen Quan’s face was serious, “I said, if you go to college, I will too. Whatever college you attend, I will go there too. In my view, many things are more important than studies, like you.”

As Wen Quan said these words, his gaze fixed intensely on Lu Yinxing’s face.

But these words felt like a mountain, heavily weighing on his heart.

It seemed like she had become a stumbling block in Wen Quan’s path forward.

Lu Yinxing couldn’t understand, “Why are you doing this? You have your life, and I have mine. Why tie our lives together?”

Wen Quan smiled, “Xingxing, don’t you know? Our lives have been tied together a long time ago.”

When Lu Yinxing returned, she was preoccupied.

Upon entering the private room, she found people sparsely scattered, considering whether or not to leave.

Lu Yinxing didn’t see Xia Ye and Lin Zhi.

She inquired and found out they’d gone out not long ago.

Xia Ye went out first, followed by Lin Zhi.

They hadn’t returned yet.

In fact, everyone had finished eating.

But it seemed inappropriate to leave when the protagonists hadn’t returned.

Wen Quan followed behind Lu Yinxing.

But now when Lu Yinxing looked at him, she was filled with anger.

There were many things that Lu Yinxing couldn’t argue with him about.

Lu Yinxing said, “I’ll go look for them.”

With that, she shook off Wen Quan and went out again.

Wen Quan naturally understood Lu Yinxing’s feelings.

She was like a parent exasperated by a child’s stubbornness.

Lu Yinxing quickly spotted Lin Zhi and Xia Ye.

They were in the courtyard.

It seemed like they were having a dispute.

Lin Zhi said, “Everything I’ve done is because I like you too much. Why can’t you understand me?”

Xia Ye spoke coldly, “You’re threatening me.”

Lin Zhi said, “You can think of it as a threat. From childhood to now, there’s nothing I can’t get, nothing I can’t achieve with the people I like.”

Xia Ye said, “This time, it seems you’ll be disappointed.”

Lin Zhi said, “Are you really breaking up with me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll reveal your secret?”

Xia Ye said, “Break up? You’re overthinking it.”

His voice was as cold as an ice cellar, then he left without looking back.

Lu Yinxing stood in the distance.

But she had heard their conversation clearly.

Though she understood each word, together they didn’t make sense to her.

Could this be another conflict?

Over what issue?

Xia Ye soon spotted Lu Yinxing standing a distance away.

Lu Yinxing stood there, dumbfounded, looking at him.

Xia Ye glanced at her, then walked past her.

After passing by, Lu Yinxing didn’t follow.

Xia Ye intentionally paused his steps.

Then turned back and coldly said, “Not leaving?”

Lu Yinxing was momentarily stunned, then hurried to catch up.

But she didn’t expect Xia Ye wouldn’t return to the private room.

Instead, he led Lu Yinxing directly away.

Lu Yinxing felt this was quite impolite, considering they didn’t say goodbye.

However, seeing Xia Ye’s gloomy face, Lu Yinxing held her tongue.

The two of them didn’t take a cab.

They walked down the street, one in front of the other.

Lu Yinxing kept pondering over Lin Zhi’s words, wondering what they truly meant.
