Even though Qin Yiran and Liang Mumu’s silhouettes could no longer be seen on the streets anymore, Shi Yao’s gaze still remained fixated at where they had departed, as if in a trance. Even the words she muttered were at odds with the question Jiang Yue had asked her, “In the end, it’s just as I have thought…”

“What?” Jiang Yue failed to catch Shi Yao’s words clearly.

However, Shi Yao was too absorbed in her own thoughts to respond to Jiang Yue. With a dazed look in her eyes, she continued mumbling, “I have already guessed that this would be the case, but I didn’t have any evidence to confirm it. This time around, I have really verified it with my own eyes…”

When the ‘?Female Student from G University Spends Each Night With a Different Partner?‘ scandal first came out on the school forum, she had already guessed that the mastermind was in cahoots with Liang Mumu.

In fact, when she spent the night digging up the user who had posted the scandal, she was surprised that the culprit was Qin Yiran and not Liang Mumu.

The reason why she had suspected Liang Mumu was because Qin Yiran was unlikely to know where Lin Jiage lived. Taking a step back, even if Qin Yiran managed to find out where Lin Jiage lived by some chance, there was still no reason for her to spend so much effort and time following and gathering so many photos on her… After all, in the eyes of those in the G University back then, Lin Jiage and her were nothing more than unacquainted strangers.

However, Liang Mumu was Lin Jiage’s neighbor and her friend. It would not be too difficult for her to acquire those photos.

Qin Yiran was likely to be nothing more than a pawn in Liang Mumu’s eyes, a piece she could manipulate in order to achieve her aims. It was a pity that Qin Yiran was unaware of this, devotedly running errands for Liang Mumu even to this day…

“Yaoyao, what on earth are you saying?” Jiang Yue asked in bewilderment, thinking that Shi Yao was spouting nonsense. Receiving no response, she raised her tone and asked, “Yaoyao, I don’t understand what you are saying at all! It’s almost as if you are talking Mathematics to me!”

Finally hearing Jiang Yue’s words, Shi Yao reined in her thoughts and smiled at Jiang Yue, “It’s nothing much. Let’s go have lunch.”

Jiang Yue probably didn’t want to fry her brain over all those complexities either. Seeing that Shi Yao wasn’t replying to her question, she grumbled a simple “Alright” before grabbing Shi Yao’s arm and leaving the area.

However, Leng Nuan still felt a little unsettled by the matter. On the way to the train station, she advised worriedly, “Yaoyao, the fact that they have appeared here means that they intend to do something. You must really watch out.”

Shi Yao nodded in response, “I know, but I can’t figure out what’s running through their minds either. It seems like they are trying to understand what kind of inkstone I bought? Well, there’s probably more to that… Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore! There’s bound to be a way out when we come to that point. It’s not a bad thing that we have bumped into them today; at least, I would know that I have to be wary around him. Still, this inkstone… Nuan, can I leave it with you for the time being? I’m afraid that something might happen to it if it remains in my hands…”

Leng Nuan: “Sure, that’s fine with me. I think you should keep the inkstone case with you though. In the off case that they try to tamper with the present, all they would find is just an empty case.”

Jiang Yue, who was walking in the middle of Leng Nuan and Shi Yao, looked as if she had just drunk three vats of wine, “I’m starting to think that you aren’t just talking Mathematics now. You two must be jumbling Physics and Biology into your words too…”

Having settled Grandpa Lin’s birthday present, Shi Yao’s heart was finally able to settle at ease, allowing her to devote her attention to studying for her finals.

Spending her time among eating, revising, and gaming, the days passed by swiftly. In the blink of an eye, a new month had already dawned upon her. Summer holidays were around the corner, but before that, there was still her finals to deal with, and Grandpa Lin’s birthday was coming right up as well.
