Chapter 39 The Amulet

"Lu Yao, what's the matter with you? You asked me to go back and inform Mr. Yang as soon as possible, but you went to find Lin Jiayi alone and turned out covered with wounds?"

On the third day, Lu Yao came to school as usual. As soon as he entered the school gate, he was stopped by Han Dong, who was waiting there early and kept asking questions while holding his shoulders.

"What do you mean I went to find Lin Jiayi alone? I was obviously kidn*pped together with her, okay?" Lu Yao said.

"Really? You were kidn*pped, too? Why do you look like you are totally fine? And why do you seem that you are not even hurt?" Han Dong asked with concern and gossip, "Then how come Lin Jiayi hasn't come yet? How did you finally get out of danger? Shall you tell me about it?"

"When the kidnappers saw that we had nothing to give to them, they were so kind-hearted that they let us both go!" Lu Yao pretended to be serious.

"Really? There are still such nice kidnappers these days?" After Han Dong was stupefied for a moment, he suddenly laughed and chased after Lu Yao, who had gone forward with a smile, "Lu Yao, how dare you fool me?"

"Ha-ha, all right, come on! How can I not tell you? Later, it was the police who came and rescued us both. Lin Jiayi might have been more seriously injured than me at that time so that she hasn't come yet!" Lu Yao gently pushed Han Dong and scolded him with a smile, "Come on, or we'll be late! The first class is Liu Taibin's English class!"

With that, the two ran to the Class One of the Senior Grade while laughing.

Lu Yao knew that the reason why Han Dong was able to be fooled by him. Just like the old saying went, "The more you care, the more entanglement you get." It was because Han Dong was concerned for Lu Yao that he did not realize Lu Yao was only making up the truth. This made Lu Yao more and more glad to be able to meet a good friend like Han Dong who really thought for him.

The two entered the classroom one after another. When Lu Yao entered the classroom, the whole class looked at him strangely. But after experiencing all these things, Lu Yao did not take these things to heart at all. Instead, he only went to his seat with his schoolbag on his back.

Lin Jiayi did not come to school today because of her ankle injury and the excessive shock.

Because it was already early May, there was only a month before the college entrance examination. So soon everyone threw themselves into the intense study, and fewer and fewer students went home at noon. Lu Yao now lived in Chaoyang Garden, which was very close to the school. Thus, he was able to have lunch at home every day and went back to school quickly to continue his study.

Not many people knew the secret about Yunwu Mountain because of the help of Wang Ping and others.

...

...

The quiet days passed quickly. Three days later, Lin Jiayi returned to school and began the intense preparations for the college entrance examination.

After this incident, Lin Jiayi's attitude towards Lu Yao changed obviously. After arriving at her seat in the morning, Lin Jiayi took the initiative to say hello to Lu Yao. But no one mentioned what happened in the Yunwu Mountain again.

Until one day when school was almost over, Lin Jiayi handed Lu Yao a note that wrote, "I'll see you at the school library after school. I have something to talk to you about!"

After reading the note, Lu Yao said nothing but took a glance at Lin Jiayi and began to study again.

When the bell sounded dismissal, Lin Jiayi was still sitting there reading. After Lu Yao finished packing his things, he naturally got up and went to the library.

There weren't many people studying in the library all day in the high school like the ones in the university. Apart from some younger students in the school who occasionally came here to read extra-curricular books and look for some materials, few senior grade students came here. So there were not many people in the library, and he did not meet any acquaintances. Soon Lu Yao sat down near the window and slowly enjoyed the view of campus where he had stayed for three years.

After a while, Lin Jiayi also came to the library. After glancing at Lu Yao's location, she went straight over and sat on the opposite seat of Lu Yao.

"You're here?" Lu Yao saw Lin Jiayi sit down and greeted her softly.

"Yes!" Lin Jiayi looked at Lu Yao and said with a smile.

To tell the truth, this was the first time that Lu Yao saw Lin Jiayi smile since he had become her desk mate for more than two years.

Although Lin Jiayi had always been beautiful when being cold and calm, she was only more beautiful when she smiled.

When she smiled, the dimples on both sides of her mouth seemed to be filled with the afterglow of the setting sun of the summer, warm but not dazzling.

Seeing her smile, Lu Yao suddenly thought of a classic poem The gentleness of her bowing her head, it was like the shyness of a water lotus that could not stand the cold. All the troubles in the world dissipated in this smile, leaving only the beauty and shock that could not be forgotten for a long time.

"Lu Yao, what are you thinking?" Lin Jiayi asked when she saw that Lu Yao was absent-minded.

"Oh, nothing. What's the reason you asked me to come here today?" When Lu Yao heard Lin Jiayi ask him, he hurriedly took back his thoughts and replied.

"Lu Yao, you are really an extraordinary person. Why didn't I notice you before?" Lin Jiayi seemed to be asking both Lu Yao and herself.

"Oh, I'm flattered. How can I be an extraordinary person?" Lu Yao knew what Lin Jiayi was referring to, but he only said this faintly.

"You could rescue me from a bunch of murderous mercenaries, and knives and other weapons couldn't hurt you. How can you expect me to believe that you are an ordinary person?" Lin Jiayi smiled and stared at Lu Yao's face and said faintly.

"I grew up in a poor family, so I inevitably could endure more. And I happened to learn some martial arts from a master!" Lu Yao did not plan to tell anyone about himself, including Lin Jiayi, because the relationship between the two was not that close.

"It's ok. Everyone has some secrets that they don't want to tell others, and the reason why I ask you to come here is not to ask you to tell them to me." Lin Jiayi just made a casual remark. Seeing that Lu Yao did not want to say it, she was not angry. She said slowly, "Lu Yao, I just want to say thank you for your desperate efforts to save me this time. Otherwise, I dare not think about what the consequences will be like!"

"You've helped me before. How about we call it even?" Lu Yao said jokingly.

"Lu Yao, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Have you ever thought about which university you want to enter?" Lin Jiayi did not continue on this topic but asked something about the college entrance examination.

"I'm going to apply for Xijing University!" Lu Yao said it without thinking.

"Oh, but have you ever thought that you can be admitted to Yanjing University with your current academic grades? Why do you have to go to Xijing University?" Lin Jiayi asked curiously.

"Because I promised someone that I will enter Xijing University." Lu Yao recalled that when he left Xindu, he promised Huang Ruoyun.

"Someone important to you, right?" Lin Jiayi continued to ask.

"My savior! She is the one who gave me a second life!" After thinking for a while, Lu Yao replied.

Lin Jiayi saw that when Lu Yao was talking about this person, some inexplicable emotions were flowing inside his eyes. So she didn't ask any more questions. She just stood up gently and said to Lu Yao, "Lu Yao, thank you for saving me this time. Here is an amulet that my father obtained for me at the Thousand Buddha Temple in Jinghe City. I'll give it to you to thank you for saving me this time!"

Lu Yao also knew the Thousand Buddha Temple in Jinghe City. It was a very famous Buddhist shrine in Shina, which was located on the top of Tianshan Mountain, one of the five great mountains in Shina. According to legend, Master Xuanling, a famous Buddhist master in Shinese history, once opened an altar and accomplished his cultivation here. So for nearly a hundred years, there were always many people who visited and prayed here. Every year during the holidays, a large number of dignitaries and rich tycoons came here to pray for blessings and hoped to be blessed with their own official prosperity or business prosperity.

Lu Yao took the small wooden box wrapped in a red cloth, which was handed over by Lin Jiayi. After opening it, he saw a crystal clear Guanyin jade pendant. He quickly rewrapped it and handed it to Lin Jiayi and said, "This gift is too valuable. I really can't accept it. Besides, what are you going to do if you give it to me? I'll just give it back to you!"

"Nothing is more valuable than you saving my life. You can give up the chance to be admitted to Yanjing University to repay the one who saved you. Why can't I? You can take it as a token of my father and me." Lin Jiayi did not take the box handed over by Lu Yao but said calmly.

"Then..." Lu Yao didn't know what to say anymore but only looked at Lin Jiayi calmly.

"It's getting dark. I'm going home. Aren't you going to see me off?" Lin Jiayi looked at Lu Yao and could not help laughing and then said.

"Well, come on, I'll walk you home!" When Lu Yao heard Lin Jiayi's words, he had to carefully put the amulet into his pocket and agreed very gentlemanly.

The two walked in a line, walking slowly towards Lin Jiayi's villa.

As Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi walked from the library door, there was a pair of eyes that stared at them in front of the Franch windows on the second floor of the library, full of hatred and jealousy. This person did not turn away until he could not see Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi.

...

...

In the following days, the relationship between Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi changed subtly. Although the two were just greeting and chatting, other people saw a completely different scene.

Lin Jiayi, the "Ice Queen", who was known to be the first beauty in the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City and rarely smiled, smiled at Lu Yao.

The strong return of "Super High Achiever", Lu Yao, won the favor of "Ice Queen", Lin Jiayi, through his own efforts...

The most noticeable "Super High Achievers" in the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City fell in love with each other and would write a legend of college entrance examination together...

Various versions of the rumors spread in every corner of the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City, and even some female cleaners would also sit there in their spare time to discuss this.
