Ling Yue didn't think too much about it. When she got home, everyone was either at school or at work; the place was empty.

I had planned to rest for an afternoon before going to the school to find Ningxia, but Ningxia didn't give me that chance.

As if she had timed it perfectly, the phone rang just two minutes after Ling Yue had finished showering and was lounging comfortably on the sofa.

"Ling Yue, if I remember correctly, you got off the plane before noon, right? Look at the time now."

"Hehe, Xiaxia, I just finished something important at noon. Wait for me, I'm going back to study right away."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yue hurriedly grabbed her backpack and headed to school.

There's no need to ask where Ningxia is right now; you can definitely find her at the library.

Sure enough, I found a quiet spot by the window, reading a book, as if I were isolated from the world.

Ling Yue quietly walked to the seat next to her and sat down. She took out her textbook and exercise book and started doing the exercises.

Ningxia glanced at her, then took the mock exam papers in front of Ling Yue, selected one, and whispered, "Take this test now. The time will be 90 minutes, just like the actual exam. I'll time you. Start now."

Top students prioritize efficiency.

Inspired by Ningxia, Ling Yue also began to devote herself wholeheartedly to that test paper.

It took Ningxia 80 minutes to complete the test paper. After checking, she estimated that she would get around 70 points.

Ling Yue was already quite satisfied, but Ning Xia was a little worried. The difficulty level of this test paper was not high, and she only passed the passing grade by ten points. It would be a bit dangerous when the actual exam came.

She was exhausted after a long afternoon, so Ling Yue told her to relax. She always performed exceptionally well, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Would an average person fail five courses? You should be glad you weren't expelled."

Thinking back to my past life, I failed five subjects without realizing it and kept revolving around Zhang Chuchu and Li Chunyang. There was a reason why I was advised to drop out of school.

Fortunately, we had a chance to pull back from the brink; we must not let tragedy happen again.

"Come on, let me take you to eat something delicious. You've been so worried about my retake exams lately, you must have worked so hard. I need to make it up to you."

Ling Yue found a restaurant near the school that Ningxia liked to eat at. The two of them had just ordered their food and were waiting for it to be served when Zhang Chuchu suddenly appeared in front of Ling Yue.

"Was it you who did this to me being doxxed?"

Ling Yue had lived two lifetimes and had never seen Zhang Chuchu speak to her so fiercely.

It seems they were forced to reveal their true colors?

"Oh dear, Chuchu, long time no see! What's wrong? What do you mean? I don't understand."

As Ling Yue spoke, she stood up to offer Zhang Chuchu her seat: "Chuchu hasn't eaten yet, has she? Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?"

Zhang Chuchu was about to unleash her fury on Ling Yue when Ling Yue acted as if nothing had happened and exchanged pleasantries with her.

"Let me tell you, Ling Yue, if I find out you did this, I'll never forgive you! Sorry, your wish is not fulfilled. I haven't been expelled from school yet, so this kind of cheap restaurant is only suitable for the two of you."

Zhang Chuchu glanced at Ningxia and Ling Yue with disdain, then turned and walked out of the restaurant.

Ningxia watched in stunned silence: "How did this turn into a personal attack? Aren't you and Zhang Chuchu on good terms? Why is she acting like this?"

"It's a long story, so don't let her spoil our meal. The dishes are here, all your favorites."

I was halfway through my meal when the real estate agent called.

"Ms. Ling, how's the rent payment preparation going?"

Ling Yue subconsciously touched the bank card that Jing Yucheng had tossed to her in her pocket, which she hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet, and fell into a dilemma.

She only uses two million at a time, and then deposits it back into his account once she earns money. Isn't that the same as not using it at all? At worst, she can just add the interest to it.

No, no, how can I just use other people's money like that?

The two little figures in Ling Yue's head were locked in a fierce battle.

"Miss Ling, are you still there?"

This guy really has no patience. Ling Yue slapped her thigh, deciding she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Let's sign the contract after we finish eating!"

"Xiaoyue, have you managed to pay your rent?"

Ningxia's cheerful tone was even happier than Lingyue's.

Ling Yue briefly explained to Ning Xia where the money came from, but actually wanted to ask her if what she was doing was right...

“I know you’re struggling with the fact that you didn’t save him for his money, but from his perspective, he also wants to repay that favor. If you really can’t get over it, just write him an IOU, and you can pay him back with interest later.”

Ningxia is practically a mind reader; once someone acknowledges me, I feel much better.

The two finished their meal quickly and arrived at the shop at the agreed time. It was a long way from near the school to Baiyun Temple. After paying the 57 yuan taxi fare, Ling Yue felt inexplicably heartbroken.

I need to be more frugal in the future. When I earn money, I'll buy a small electric vehicle as a means of transportation, which will save me a lot of money.

The lease agreement was signed unusually smoothly. Judging from the handwriting, the landlord must have signed his part a long time ago, as if he had calculated that Ling Yue would sign the contract with him soon.

When Ling Yue transferred the rent to the landlord, she sighed. Was the Jing family grandfather and grandson really that interesting? Wasn't the money just changing hands for the Jing family? And they even had to pay a brokerage fee?

In any case, the matter of the shop has finally been settled.

Ningxia suggested that they celebrate the achievement of her dream, and Lingyue agreed, but said that it wasn't a dream achieved, but only half of it.

So Lingyue contacted everyone to see if they had time to get together and celebrate.

"Manager Lin, what have you been busy with lately?"

"You sound like you're in a good mood today?" Lin Heng was wearing a hard hat and being inspected by the site supervisor when he answered the phone.

"Skinny Monkey really understands me, haha. I just signed the contract for my shop. When are you free? Let's get together."

"Okay, I'll give you a specific time when I'm done with my work."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue knew that this guy was definitely busy, so she didn't say anything more: "Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your work, we'll talk when we meet."

Lin Heng has been notified, and then it's Wang Linlin's turn.

I checked the time; there was still an hour or so before her live stream started. I didn't bother calling; I just went to her house. It had been a long time since I'd visited her.

Ningxia wholeheartedly agrees.

“I’m also planning to go see her. I’ve been watching her live stream lately and she doesn’t seem to be in good shape, but she’s been eating a lot, two to three times her usual amount. A lot of people in the comments section are talking about this.”

“I’ve watched her live streams. Unlike other food streamers, she doesn’t rely on the amount of food she eats to gain attention, does she?”

When Ling Yue learned about Wang Linlin's live stream, she watched one and even sent her a big rocket as a gift. When she saw Wang Linlin with makeup on, her clear eyes were very eye-catching. The food she ate was also very home-style, mostly cooked by herself in her rented room. Occasionally, she would order takeout at the request of her fans.

The way she eats makes the food inexplicably delicious, and she eats with such gusto! It's the kind of food that makes your mouth water just watching her.

"Let's go check it out, before she starts broadcasting."

Ningxia tidied up the signed shop lease agreement and put it at the bottom of Lingyue's backpack to prevent it from getting wrinkled.
