The Atypical Young Lady Has Returned

Chapter 308: Yuan Xi’s Reminder

All eyes were on the two of them.

Yan Jinyu was very calm. She looked up. “Not bad.” After that, she continued to eat her food.

On the other hand, no one could remain calm.

They were very curious.

Few people would believe that the two of them didn’t know each other.

It was mainly because of Bo Lang’s temper. In the past, not to mention taking the initiative to greet anyone, even if others took the initiative, he would ignore them. He even very ruthlessly dismissed the people who tried to get close to him.

Even though he took the initiative to talk to Yan Jinyu now, there was no extra expression on his face. He still looked very fierce.

Yuan Xi sat opposite Bo Lang and looked up at Bo Lang. His gaze swept past Yan Jinyu and he frowned slightly.

However, when he retracted his gaze, his gaze met Bo Lang’s.

Other than Yuan Xi frowning slightly, the two of them didn’t have much of a reaction.

He looked away calmly.

However, when he lowered his head to continue eating, Yuan Xi’s frown deepened.

Tan Shiyun sat beside Yan Jinyu and leaned slightly towards her. She whispered, “Yan Jinyu, do you… really not know each other?”

Before Yan Jinyu could reply, Yan Jinyun and Feng Yuan already looked over.

They wanted to know Yan Jinyu’s answer, but they were more puzzled by Tan Shiyun’s abnormality.

Tan Shiyun was the class monitor. She usually interacted with her classmates and was considered a cheerful person.

However, being cheerful did not equal to gossipy.

Tan Shiyun was a very sensible person. She never interfered in other people’s matters, nor would she take the initiative to ask about others’ matters.

But now…

It was really hard not to care.

Yan Jinyu smiled and shook her head. “No.”

“On the other hand, Class Monitor, do you seem to care a lot about me knowing Bo Lang?”

Tan Shiyun blushed and said rather shyly, “It’s not that I care. I’m just curious. Yan Jinyu, you just transferred here, so you don’t know very well. Our Bo Lang is very… How should I put it? He’s very difficult to get along with.”

“Just take it that I’m gossipy.”

“We’ve been classmates for three years, yet I didn’t know that the class monitor was actually someone who likes to gossip,” Yan Jinyun replied.

Her tone was not harsh. She looked like she was chatting.

“Is that so? That might be because you haven’t interacted with me much, Yan Jinyun. You don’t know me very well.” She smiled embarrassedly. “Actually, I’m quite a gossipy person. It’s just that I usually hide my gossipy heart in order to make others think that I’m steady. You also know that I’m the class monitor. I have to be more mature to control people.”

Feng Yuan nodded in agreement, “That’s true.”

“But why is the class monitor willing to let others see the gossipy side of you now? Aren’t you afraid that others will think that you’re not steady enough?”

“This… I’m a little embarrassed to say.”

Feng Yuan said, “What’s there to be embarrassed about? We’ve been classmates for three years, so we’re considered familiar with each other. Just treat it as a casual chat at the dining table.”

“Ahem… I’ll tell you then. Don’t laugh at me if I tell you.”

Feng Yuan promised repeatedly, “We won’t.”

“Actually…” Tan Shiyun blushed and glanced at Yan Jinyu. “I’m a beauty lover. I liked Yan Jinyu especially when I first saw her. I felt that not only was she beautiful, but she also looked soft and cute. She was very likable, so I couldn’t help but want to understand her more.”

“Really. You guys usually see that I’m not like this in front of others.”

Everyone looked at each other, seemingly not expecting this reason.

However, Tan Shiyun looked at Yan Jinyu carefully, “Um, Yan Jinyu, are you angry?”

“What’s there to be angry about? I can’t be happier if someone praises me for my good looks. Why would I be angry?” Although she said that, Yan Jinyu didn’t have much of an expression other than her usual faint smile.

It was hard to guess her true emotions.

“That’s great! I was worried that you would be angry if you found out. After all, it’s only our first time meeting and I already said that I like you very much. I was worried that you wouldn’t believe me and think that I’m up to no good.”

Yan Jinyu smiled brightly. “Then are you?”

Tan Shiyun hurriedly shook her head. “No, no! Of course not!”

“That’s good enough.”

“Then… then Classmate Yan Jinyu, can I be your friend?” She tightened her grip on her chopsticks and her expression was tense. She looked very nervous.

“Of course.” Yan Jinyu smiled brightly.

Upon hearing this, Tan Shiyun’s eyes immediately lit up. “Really?”

“Really.”

Then, she saw Tan Shiyun smiling happily. She was smiling foolishly.

Anyway, that was what others thought.

After laughing for a while, she said, “I heard Feng Yuan call you Jinyu. Can I call you that too?”

“Of course. Aren’t we friends? Of course, we shouldn’t be calling each other classmates as friends. Isn’t that too distant?”

Yan Jinyun fell silent when she heard this.

Yan Jinyu had friends. She had met one, the daughter of the Huo Family, Huo Siyu.

However, Huo Siyu called Yan Jinyu “Beauty Yu”.

If Yan Jinyu really wanted to be friends with Tan Shiyun, her intuition told her that Yan Jinyu would definitely make Tan Shiyun call her Beauty Yu.

However, Yan Jinyu didn’t. What did that mean?

Perhaps, Yan Jinyu didn’t really want to be friends with Tan Shiyun at all. If she didn’t mean it, why did she respond like this?

Could it be that there was something special about Tan Shiyun?

She couldn’t understand.

Of course, it was also possible that she was thinking too much. Perhaps, Yan Jinyu just couldn’t reject others. She wasn’t very close to the other party and could just deal with her as she pleased.

However, was Yan Jinyu the kind of person who would be willing to deal with whoever she didn’t like?

It seemed like… she wasn’t.

Forget it. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t understand. She would wait and see first.

Tan Shiyun didn’t know what Yan Jinyun was thinking. After receiving Yan Jinyu’s agreement, she was so excited that she almost jumped up. “That’s great! Jinyu!”

Yan Jinyu glanced at the others sitting at the same table from the corner of her eye and smiled at Tan Shiyun, “Let’s eat first. After eating, we still have to go to the dormitory to take a nap.”

“Alright!” Tan Shiyun looked very happy. Once she was happy, she indeed wasn’t as calm as usual. She ate heartily as if she wanted to bring Yan Jinyu to see the dormitory after finishing her meal.

Yan Jinyu’s gaze landed on Tan Shiyun’s face for a second before quickly looking away.

After lunch.

When they each placed their plates at a fixed place, someone suddenly passed by Yan Jinyu quickly. Just as he brushed past her, that person said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Bo Lang is very dangerous. Stay away from him.”

He quickly walked past Yan Jinyu.

Yan Jinyu looked up and saw Yuan Xi’s back.

Her lips curled up.

This was… very interesting.

Yuan Xi was her and Little Rain’s first suspect, followed by Bo Lang. Now, Yuan Xi had come to remind her that Bo Lang was very dangerous and ask her to stay away.

Furthermore, after interacting with these people, she actually had a new suspect.

Even if the person she suspected was not the head of the Jones Family, he must not be a simple person.

She was still very confident about her judgment.

However, there was no hurry now.

What she should do now was to experience school life properly.

As for investigating?

There was no need to waste her energy.

They had already confirmed that Liu Guang was not dead. It was very likely that the head of the Bruce Family had died at the hands of Liu Guang or Liu Guang’s subordinates.

Then, the head of the Jones Family probably knew her identity long ago.

In that case, if the other party was really at Boyu High School, they would naturally want to kill her. Then, she would just wait for the other party to send themself to her door. She would stay here and protect Yan Jinyun.

However, it was still necessary to confuse them.

For example, making the other party think that she and Yan Jinyun didn’t get along.

If the other party was really the head of the Jones Family and could protect the Jones Family, which had been suppressed by the Bruce Family for so many years, and even suppress the Bruce Family now, then this person was definitely very capable. The other party might not believe her little tricks.

However, it did not matter. What she wanted was ambiguity.

If they weren’t even sure if she cared about her younger sister, Yan Jinyun, then they wouldn’t start with Yan Jinyun because not only would that not threaten her, but it would also expose themselves and put them at a disadvantage.

She believed that Jones wasn’t that stupid.

Tan Shiyun, who was walking in front, suddenly turned back. “Jinyu, did Yuan Xi talk to you just now?”

Yan Jinyu’s expression didn’t change. “No.”

“Alright, I thought he rushed forward to talk to you.”

“Why would he want to talk to me? Perhaps he has something to do and is in a hurry?”

Tan Shiyun shook her head decisively. “No.”

“Yuan Xi is usually alone. I believe that he suddenly sat with us today because of you.”

“You’re thinking too much. Perhaps, it was just that there was an empty seat there so he sat down. It wasn’t because of me. After all, we didn’t communicate at all the entire time, right?”

Tan Shiyun was stunned for a moment. “That seems to be the case.”

“But there are so many empty seats in the canteen. Why doesn’t he sit anywhere else but with us? In the past, he seemed to sit at whichever table no one was at. After he sat down, very few people would share the table with him.”

“I’m not sure about that.” After a pause, Yan Jinyu looked at her and smiled. “Perhaps, he’s doing this for Bo Lang?”

“He was sitting opposite Bo Lang just now.”

Hence, Yan Jinyu saw a subtle change in Tan Shiyun’s expression.

It wasn’t obvious and she recovered very quickly, but she still couldn’t avoid Yan Jinyu’s sharp eyes.

Tan Shiyun seemed to be especially concerned about Bo Lang.

“But that doesn’t make sense either. If it’s really for Bo Lang, why didn’t Yuan Xi sit with him when he ate in the past, but today is an exception?”

“Bo Lang probably rarely sat with everyone to eat in the past. He rarely even came to the canteen to eat, right?” Yan Jinyu knew this. It was mentioned in the information that she found.

As her second suspect, she naturally paid more attention to Bo Lang.

Tan Shiyun was stunned for a moment before nodding. “I think so.”

“Isn’t that so? Yuan Xi didn’t even have the chance to sit with Bo Lang in the past.”

Before Tan Shiyun could nod, Xu Gui, who was walking beside her, interrupted, “Eldest Miss Yan, why do you say that as if they’re gay?”

Yan Jinyu glanced at Luo Yikun, who was behind Xu Gui, and raised her eyebrows. “Young Master Xu, are you very knowledgeable about this?”

Xu Gui shuddered violently. “Who was very knowledgeable about that? I just think that your words sound very strange. You just give people such a feeling! That’s all!”

“Then why doesn’t anyone else feel that way?” Luo Qiu, who had walked past quickly, chimed in.

She had no choice. She felt that if her cousin had no one to help him, the road ahead of him would be very dark.

Eldest Miss Yan had probably seen some signs too.

She just didn’t expect Eldest Miss Yan to help.

In reality, how was Yan Jinyu helping?

She simply felt that it was interesting and suddenly said that in excitement.

“H-how should I know?” Xu Gui’s face was bright red. He seemed to have thought of something and stomped his feet twice before walking away angrily.

Luo Yikun caught up with him at the right time.

“Little Guizi, don’t mind. Qiu is just joining in the fun. She doesn’t have any ill intentions.”

“Who cares? Luo Yikun, I told you not to come so close!”

“I just want to be friends with you.”

“Who the hell wants to be friends with you? Stay away from me!”

***

The two of them walked away noisily.

With this commotion, Tan Shiyun’s attention was diverted. She no longer pursued the matter from before. She looked at this scene in shock as if she had discovered a new continent and her eyes widened.

She took a deep breath and said to Yan Jinyu, “Let’s go. Yan Jinyun is waiting outside the canteen.”

***

Boyu High School’s student dormitories were all single rooms.

This was the standard of an elite school.

Although the single room was not big, the balcony, washroom and a small kitchen were only about 80 square meters, it was complete.

Yin Jiujin had instructed Lin Zimu to get someone to set up the dorm.

Third floor, 301.

“We’re here,” Tan Shiyun said.

This was the girls’ dormitory building. Feng Yuan didn’t follow them. Only Tan Shiyun and Yan Jinyun followed.

She opened the room with the key.

Seeing the pink princess room, Yan Jinyu’s heart no longer stirred like before.

As expected.

However, Tan Shiyun and Yan Jinyun were both stunned on the spot when they saw the layout of the dormitory.

Especially Yan Jinyun. The corners of her lips twitched.

Was such a room compatible with Yan Jinyu?
