“Don’t worry mother. I’ll study hard and get into a good university. I’ll make sure that you will live a good life in the future. Trust me. After I get into university, you don’t have to work so hard anymore.”

Mo Shiyun continued to comfort her mother.

After a while, Aunt Mo’s emotions finally eased.

Following which, Aunt Mo asked Mo Shiyun, “Oh, by the way, have you seen Miss Yiling at school recently?”

As Jian Yiling went to the Old Jian Residence, Aunt Mo lost the opportunity to be in contact with her.

“Mother, I’m in my final year of senior high whilst she’s in her first year of senior high. We’re in different teaching blocks. If there weren’t any special circumstances, it’s impossible for me to see her.”

“Ahh…” Aunt Mo replied. There was a flash of disappointment that passed in her mother’s eyes.

“Mother, why did you ask this? Is there something wrong?” Mo Shiyun queried.

“No, no, nothing at all. After all, Miss Yiling isn’t at home. I’m just quite worried about her,” Aunt Mo quickly explained.

The deal she had with He Yan would be kept between the two of them. She was never going to get her daughter involved. If someone had to go to hell, she would go alone.

The next day was Tuesday. It was also the date for the second monthly examination of first-year senior high students.

In the first year of senior high, the students weren’t split up according to their unit/subject selection. As a result, they had to do exams for nine subjects. This included Language, Mathematics, English, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Politics, History, and Geography.

Furthermore, the exams were to be completed in the span of two days. As a result, the students barely had time to breathe.

However, during this busy time, there was also ‘big news’ that attracted most of the students’ attention.

There was a confession on the Shenghua High School campus forum.

The title of the post was: [Come and watch! Someone is confessing at the gates! The person being confessed to is Jian Yiling!]

After you clicked into the post, there were numerous photos that showed the situation.

Someone had placed flowers, balloons, and banners up at the school gate.

The content of the banner was quite straightforward and frank. Jian Yiling, I like you. You’re my star and you’re my moon. You’re my only salvation.

And finally, there was a photo of a boy holding a bouquet.

The boy was rather thin. His hair appeared dyed and his hairstyle was spiked up with hair gel.

With numerous piercings and ripped jeans, he gave off the impression of a juvenile delinquent.

Immediately, someone followed up the post.

[Wow, what’s this situation? Is Jian Yiling dating?]

[Doesn’t seem like she’s dating. It seems like someone is chasing after her.]

[Who is this man? He’s definitely not from our school! His hairstyle is distasteful. Who dyes and gels their hair like that?]

[Oh my god. What taste in men does Jian Yiling even have? Why does she like the juvenile delinquent type? [Vomit]]

[I want to swear at someone. Why is this bad person in front of our school gates? What kind of joke is this? Who does Jian Yiling even hang out with on a day to day basis? Why is this sort of person confessing to her?]

[Don’t talk about her like that. It’s someone confessing to her and not the other way around!]

[I don’t agree with you. I don’t see someone else confessing to another person at our school. If she didn’t do anything with him, why would he confess to her? No one would confess just because he took one look at her! Even flies wouldn’t bite an egg without a cranny.]

[God knows what she does on a day to day basis. We go to school every day and basically have no time to meet other people. However, she would have time.]

[My god, my eyes… This delinquent is definitely not someone good. For Jian Yiling to get together with this type of person…. Errr… I honestly don’t know what to say.]
