Chapter 94 Gangsters

People often said that it was enough to have one confidant in life.

But there were also people who said that the more friends there were, the better. They believed that the more friends they had, the more resourceful they would be.

But no matter what, one would always have some close friends.

Even someone like Ma Xiaolin, who always liked to follow those rich and powerful people, had his own circle of friends and confidants.

After getting the college entrance examination's standard answers, everyone sat in groups of two or three and began to help each other estimate the scores.

After drinking, Yang Linchi felt a headache when blown by the summer evening wind. He got dizzier, so he went home early to rest.

Under the invitation of Han Dong and Lu Yao, Lin Jiayi followed the three of them to a secluded place in the school playground, and they sat down facing each other and began to estimate their scores.

"Hey, hey, wait for a while. Let Feiyan and I estimate first so that we can feel at ease. If you come first and have high scores above seventy hundred points, then we won't want to estimate ours." After they sat down, Han Dong saw Lu Yao open the answers and immediately said.

Lu Yao glanced at Lin Jiayi and said, "As long as Lin Jiayi agrees, I have no objections!"

"I have no objections!" Lin Jiayi said calmly as usual.

"Then let's estimate Feiyan's score first!"

"I got this correct..."

"There are some small problems. I will probably lose one or two points..."

"..."

"..."

About two hours later, after a few intense discussions, they got the estimated scores according to their respective opinions.

Han Dong and Lan Feiyan were very satisfied with their results. Han Dong had more than 660 points, while Lan Feiyan had more than 650 points. With scores like these, it was easy for them to be among the top ten students in Shuangta City.

Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi's scores were around 700 points. They basically needed to estimate in detail. Even 0.5 points were very important, so no one dared to estimate the exact score.

The four people sitting together all had high scores. This was something worth celebrating.

However, because it was already night, no one could find a place to celebrate. In the end, they agreed to find a place to have a feast after the results were announced. At this time, they could only say some words of congratulations to each other and then go home.

Although Shuangta City was a safe place, if the two girls were to go home alone so late at night, Lu Yao and Han Dong would still be worried. In the end, they decided that Lu Yao would send Lin Jiayi home, and Han Dong would send Lan Feiyan home.

.

"Lu Yao, congratulations, you have done so well this time!"

Without a lively person like Han Dong around, the atmosphere between Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi became dull.

"You too, you did well. I was worried..." Lu Yao wanted to say that he was very worried about her. However, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he did not continue.

"What are you worried about? Why didn't you say it?" It was rare for them to have such a chance to chat alone. At this time, Lin Jiayi saw that Lu Yao was hesitating, so she asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I was just overthinking!"

Indeed, it was as Lu Yao said. Lin Jiayi did so well in the exam. It seemed that he was really overthinking.

"You!" Lin Jiayi stopped and looked at Lu Yao with a complicated expression. Then she quickly walked forward and whispered, "If you don't want to tell me, then fine. Who cares about a dumb person like you?"

Lin Jiayi said the last sentence in an almost inaudible voice, which was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito flying ten meters away.

But even so, it did not escape Lu Yao's ears.

When Lu Yao heard this, he was obviously stunned. He never dreamed that Lin Jiayi, who was the Ice Queen, would be so cute.

Usually, only girls who acted coquettishly on purpose would say something like that. If Lu Yao did not hear it with his own ears, he would not believe it even if the most honest man told him that Lin Jiayi said something like that.

Lin Jiayi also noticed that Lu Yao was stunned. She had already guessed that Lu Yao should have heard the last sentence.

However, for some reason, Lin Jiayi, who was supposed to be shy, felt a hint of excitement in her heart.

She couldn't tell when she started to become like those tacky girls and began to pay attention to Lu Yao gradually.

Even tonight, when she saw Lu Yao and Lan Feiyan standing together, she became somewhat jealous. Her mood had not been good since then. When Han Dong had solemnly introduced Lan Feiyan to her, she suddenly felt happy again.

This was also the first time she had felt this way. Although she had already guessed what was going on, she still could not believe that she would have such feelings when she was in high school.

"Lu Yao, apart from your own hard work, who else do you want to thank the most for this great result?" Lin Jiayi asked after laughing at herself secretly.

"The first person I want to thank the most is my Godfather. Without his selfless contribution, I wouldn't have achieved what I did today. Secondly, I want to thank our class teacher, Mr. Yang. He has been my teacher and he has been like my father to me for so many years. If it weren't for his concern and protection, I would have left the class long ago!"

Lu Yao did not even need to think about this question before he blurted the answers out.

"Don't tell me you knew that you were going to be the top scorer in science in Shuangta City, so you practiced your speech in advance!" Lu Yao had never thought that Lin Jiayi would tell a joke to him like this.

"Why are you so nervous? I was just joking with you. Everyone in our class knows that Mr. Yang likes you the most. I can understand what you're saying!" Lin Jiayi looked straight at Lu Yao and said with a smile, "But Lu Yao, why do you always call your father Godfather?"

"He is not my biological father!" Lu Yao didn't shy away from his family background at all and he spoke naturally.

"Don't you both have the same surname? And I can tell that you two have a close relationship. How is that possible?" Lin Jiayi never thought that Lu Yiqian was actually not Lu Yao's biological father. Because ever since she began to pay attention to Lu Yao, she had also noticed Lu Yiqian. She found that although they lived a relatively poor life, their relationship was very good, unlike herself. Although she never lacked food and clothes, because of the death of her mother, she rarely felt that kind of parental love.

"I was an abandoned baby and I was picked up by my Godfather when I was very young. No one knew what my surname was. My Godfather was kind enough to take me in and let me have his surname. From then on, we depend on each other!" Lu Yao did not hide anything.

"Why have I never heard you mention it?" Lin Jiayi could not imagine that Lu Yao had such an experience. Lu Yao did not even know who his biological parents were.

"What is there to talk about? My Godfather and I have been together for so many years. Although he only asked me to call him Godfather, in my heart, he is like my biological father." Lu Yao said from the bottom of his heart.

"..."

Just like this, they chatted as they walked. They talked about everything.

Lu Yao had been to Lin Jiayi's house when he visited her when she was sick. He knew that they would pass a boulevard, which was about one kilometer long, on their way from their school to her house.

On both sides of the road were some precious willows that were specially protected by the government.

The ancient Shuangta City was located at the border, and because the city had been eroded by the wind and sand all year round, the residents' life was difficult. If they encountered a year of disasters, they would be starved to death.

A famous general guarding the border in the previous dynasty could not bear to see the people suffer from the disaster and therefore he led the soldiers to plant trees for many years to resist the wind and sand.

After many years of hard work, he gained a long-lasting achievement. In order to commemorate this great general who had protected the people, these willows that survived were specially named after him.

Later, as the times changed and for the sake of better city-planning, a portion of the willows were transplanted to other places, and there were not many willows that had been growing here.

At this time, the light of the street lamps and moonlight passed through the dense branches and scattered on the asphalt road that had been cleaned by the cleaners. The scene was somewhat artistic.

All of a sudden, seven or eight gangsters, who reeked of alcohol and had tattoos all over their bodies, appeared from behind the trees.

It seemed like they had come across Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi, but Lu Yao still had to be more careful.

"Hey, where did this little girl come from? She looks so pretty. Come and play with us!"

A gangster, who was holding his clothes in one hand and half a bottle of beer in the other hand, eyed Lin Jiayi vulgarly and said in a strange tone. He had a tattoo on his shoulder that looked like a tiger or a leopard.

Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi did not reply. Lu Yao walked closer to Lin Jiayi, and the two continued to walk forward.

"Stop, I am talking to you. Are you deaf?" The gangster with a weird tattoo saw that Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi ignored him and he immediately smashed the half bottle of beer in front of Lu Yao. The broken glass and beer splashed all over Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was not worried that these people would pose any threat to them, but he did not want to argue with those drunk people, so he wanted to leave with Lin Jiayi quickly.

Seeing Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi walking fast, the men thought that they were afraid, and then laughed wildly and surrounded them.

At this time, because it was late, there were not so many people around. The people who occasionally passed by hid far away when they saw this situation. In the end, no one came to stand up and help Lu Yao and Lin Jiayi.
