Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 723 - 290. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (1)_2
For the fourth time, Lin Chu skipped class with a clear conscience, unlike the previous reasons.
Because, because today is her future husband’s birthday!
If she doesn’t show her affection now, when should she?
During morning self-study, most of the seniors had their heads down, as if fishing, even the teacher who had just been passionately inspiring students to fight hard was yawning one after another.
Seizing the moment when the teacher covered his mouth and turned away to yawn, Lin Chu followed Jiang Muzhou closely and swiftly slipped out from the back door of the classroom.
Familiar with the routes to evade capture, she ran to the bike shed behind the teaching building.
Lin Chu bent over, panting, "I can’t do it, I can’t do it, let’s rest for a bit!"
She was exhausted, but Jiang Muzhou was perfectly fine, not even out of breath, lazily sitting on the back seat of a bicycle, flipping a middle finger to express his disdain for Lin, "I think Sister Daiyu is stronger than you."
Lin Chu couldn’t be bothered to kick him.
She had already been sternly warned by Mr. Lin that if she got caught skipping class today, she’d be in big trouble. Running from the seventh floor to the parking shed, how could she not be tired?
After catching her breath, Lin Chu called her good friend Ji Wanxia, "Wanwan, Zhouzhou and I are in the bike shed downstairs, how much longer will you be?"
On the other end of the call, Wanxia was still at home. She gently closed the bedroom door and apologized, "I’m sorry Xiao Chu, I can’t accompany you this morning. How about we meet directly at An University’s entrance in the afternoon after you finish the cake?"
Lin Chu frowned a bit, "Do you have something to do?"
"My brother has a fever, and Grandpa is not at home."
Hearing this, Lin Chu was relieved because for Ji Wanxia, no one is more important than her brother.
"Alright, alright, look after Brother Ji first, call me when you’re done."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Muzhou, with a roguish swagger, raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong, got stood up?"
Lin Chu was now very glad she didn’t kick him earlier, forcing a grin as fake as it gets, she cozied up to him, "Big brother, your little brother has a small request."
Big brother squinted his eyes, smirking as he looked at her, "Speak."
Let him think, wasn’t she the one who glared at him earlier...
"Can you lend me some money?"
Lin’s recent performance was so poor that her dad confiscated all her bank cards, now she’s penniless.
She’s been relying on Ji Wanxia to help her out, the cake money hasn’t been paid, and she forgot to bring it up during the call.
Jiang Muzhou seemed to have anticipated this, taking out his wallet and teasingly waving it in front of Lin Chu like he was playing with a puppy.
Smiling smugly, "No problem lending you money, but you’ve got to do my homework for this week."
Lin Chu could almost hear herself grinding her teeth, "Deal."
For the sake of the birthday cake, she could swallow her pride.
Hmm, it’s just one week, not too much, her hand won’t be crippled.

Gu Shaozhi was studying abroad, and he had a two-month vacation, so he could come home to spend time with his mother and grandfather.
For a good friend’s birthday, since he’s in An City, of course, he has to make some gesture.
Giving cars or watches seemed too tacky, so... he decided to accompany his friend to school for some basketball, isn’t that a unique gift?
Lu Huai’an was driving, with Gu Shaozhi in the passenger seat, reaching into his pocket and finding it empty, "Pull over when we hit a supermarket, I need to buy a pack of cigarettes."
Just past the intersection, there was a supermarket.
Lu Huai’an stopped the car, "Buy an extra pack."
Hearing this, Gu Shaozhi paused his act of unbuckling his seatbelt, in each six-month visit back, it seemed there was always something new, "Since when did you start smoking?"
Lu Huai’an calmly retorted, "Who said I can’t smoke?"
When irritated, tobacco calmed him down.
Adults don’t have such restrictions, after all, Gu Shaozhi smoked too, he couldn’t be hypocritical, "Of course you can."
Just before getting out, Gu Shaozhi noticed someone through the cake shop’s glass window.
With one foot on the ground, he pushed Lu Huai’an in the driver’s seat with his empty hand, the latter turned his head, following his gaze.
Through the glass window, what Lu Huai’an saw was this scene: a girl and a boy still in their school uniforms, laughing and joking around, the girl had cream on her face, the boy had his arm around her neck, they seemed really close.
At this time, shouldn’t she be in school?
Gu Shaozhi said with a smirk, "The girl looks really familiar."
More than just familiar.
