“Yeah, if I say that, my mom will drop the matter.”
Fu Tingyan didn’t know what to say.
“What’s wrong? My mom won’t scold you. So what are you afraid of?”
“We grew up together, and everyone thought that we were brothers. Are you saying that we got into a fight?”
Fu Tingyan chuckled. “Your mom will think that something big happened. I’m sure that my grandma already knows about this.”
“It can’t be that serious…”
He was just making up an excuse.
As soon as Jiang Yu said that, Fu Tingyan’s phone rang.
Fu Tingyan took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He showed it to Jiang Yu and walked out with his phone.
Jiang Yu was stunned. Jing Tingyu’s grandma sure was quick to act.
Fu Tingyan stood in the hall. His figure was tall and lean.
The old madam’s deep and sincere voice rang in his ears.
“Yan, you’re older than Yu by a month. You’re an older brother. Can’t you just let Yu do what he wants? Today, Yu’s mother came to apologize. She asked for you to forgive Yu. Sometimes, Yu can be a little square with his words, but you guys are so close. It would be to no one’s benefit if you make things awkward between you. Just forgive him…”
Fu Tingyan lifted his hand and massaged his aching head. After listening to his grandmother’s sincere words, he said, “Grandma, don’t worry. Yu and I were just playing around. We’re fine now.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Fu Tingyan reassured his grandmother again and again. Only then did his grandmother hang up the phone.
Fu Tingyu heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the classroom.
Jiang Yu hurriedly asked, “What did your grandma say?”
“What do you think?”
“I’ll explain it to my mom later. I’ll say that we were playing around and that we’re all good now.”
This was proof that the two of them had indeed grown up together. The excuse they thought of was the same.
Fu Tingyan and Jiang Yu fought when they were younger, but it was mostly them fooling around. They’d never seriously fought. Their friendship was very strong.

After lunch
Qin Shu and Ye Xue walked out of the cafeteria. They saw Fu Tingyana and Jiang Yu when they passed by the track.
Qin Shu elbowed Ye Xue’s arm and remind her saying: “Didn’t you want to ask Jiang Yu about his injuries. You can go now.”
Ye Xue also saw the Jiang Yu on the track. She hesitated.
Qin Shu saw her hesitation and encouraged, “Jiang Yu is different from other rich kids who value looks, but sometimes he is a little square with his speech Go ahead, I’ll sit here and wait for you.”
Ye Xue glanced at Qin Shu. She clutched her shirt. After thinking for a while, she walked over.
After Ye Xue Left, Qin Shu sat on the stone steps under the shade and waited. It was a pity that she didn’t bring her laptop, otherwise, she could have worked on the questions assigned by the young professor.
“She’s the girl who got the guarantee admission?”
A gentle and soft male voice came from behind Shu Qin. The voice sounded familiar to her.
Qin Shu wanted to verify her suspicions. She turned her head around and saw Jun Li standing behind her. When Qin Shu looked at Jun Li from this angle, she noticed that he had a slender and straight figure, a thin and pointy chin, excessively fair skin, and a sickly tired expression on his face. His appearance made one’s heart ache for him.
Jun Li took two steps forward, and he sat on the step less than a meter away from Qin Shu.
He spread his legs and placed his hands on his knees. He glanced at Ye Xue, who was walking towards the track.
Qin Shu said, “Her academics are pretty good. It won’t be a problem for her to get into Imperial College. With the guaranteed admission, she has an extra layer of security.”
Jun Li retracted his gaze and looked at Qin Shu. He asked, “What do you think of the flowers of Mount Qi?”
Qin Shu froze for a few seconds. Her stary eyes were filled with confusion. “The flowers of Mount Qi?”
