As expected, Yanei

Not long after, Zhang Yan returned with two cups of milk tea.

"So fast."

"There are fewer people now, so the milk tea shop isn't crowded."

Zhang Yan said as she handed a cup to Lin Yuan, "Here, matcha for you."

"Why are you giving me matcha?"

"Why can't I give you matcha?"

"Because I don't like drinking matcha."

"Is it because you don't like its green color?"

Lin Yuan admired Zhang Yan's wild imagination, "What the hell?"

"Are you boys naturally more sensitive to green?"

"Except for hats, it doesn't matter for anything else. I simply don't like the taste of matcha."

"Then let me switch with you."

Zhang Yan said, and exchanged the cup in her hand with Lin Yuan's.

"Wait."

"What's wrong with you now?"

"You seemed to have drunk from this cup just now. You should still give me the matcha..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Zhang Yan had already bitten the straw, "Oops, I forgot. Now both cups have been drunk by me. Do you want me to buy you another one?"

"Okay."

Lin Yuan agreed readily.

"How can you say that? Just turn the straw around. I only took one sip. You're the first one to dislike me."

Lin Yuan just held that cup of milk tea, "I'll drink it when I get back to the dorm."

Zhang Yan heard this and leaned her mouth closer, "Does my junior brother's lips have poison?"

Lin Yuan was instantly a little embarrassed, because he felt that their interaction had clearly gone too far.

Although Lin Yuan wanted to curry favor with Zhang Yan, he didn't intend to get himself involved. Whether out of a sense of responsibility to Xia Ye or out of fear of the saying 'entering a noble household is like entering a deep sea', he didn't want to get himself involved.

Therefore, Lin Yuan had to cool down the interaction between them, "Senior brother, I'll head back first."

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan's practical execution was so bad, without any flair. The cooling-down method he thought of was to run away, as in the thirty-six stratagems.

"His face changed. He's always like this..." Zhang Yan pouted and took a big bite of the straw.

"Then I'll leave now."

Lin Yuan reached out to open the car door, "How do you open this door?"

"Don't try, I locked it."

"Then open it. Why did you lock it?"

"To eat you."

"Ah?"

"Isn't it written all over your face, 'afraid I'll eat you'?"

"Is it?"

"Senior brother, you're so boring, you know? Every time I interact with you excitedly, you back off. What are you afraid of? Do you think I'm interested in you?"

"Uh, haha~~ Not at all."

"Don't worry,"

Zhang Yan's tone was very cheerful, "I won't play any ambiguous games with you. It's just that... I don't have many friends, and it's too boring alone. I just like to mess around with you."

"You don't have many friends?"

"Of course I have friends in name. But among people like us, I'm considered an outlier. I don't like to hang out with them, and they don't bother to play with me. My own brother and I can't even talk to each other."

"The rebellious youngest daughter of a noble family?" Lin Yuan tried to ask back.

"I'm not rebellious. I was raised by my grandparents, and they didn't expect that after raising me, I would become the one who doesn't fit in."

Lin Yuan felt that the amount of information here was a bit large, and based on the principle of not wanting to pry into other people's privacy, he did not ask further.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to respond for a moment, but Zhang Yan continued to speak. "Actually, I never even thought about getting married. It's so annoying. I feel like my values are completely out of sync with this world..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Yuan stopped her from continuing to lament, "Talking about such topics at a young age can easily lead to obsession. Find something to do in your spare time."

"My only pleasure is solving cases, at least that makes me feel useful to this world."

"Can you take back the second half of that sentence? Do what you like to do. If you don't want to get married, then don't. You don't lack food or clothing."

"But I want to find a scoundrel senior brother to play with me for a while, and you're still such a killjoy. So boring."

"Then what can be done? I have to study normally, and you can't come to my school to be a security guard."

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Yuan exclaimed, "You're not really thinking of coming to our school to be a security guard, are you?"

Zhang Yan said seriously, "If I were a security guard, my family definitely wouldn't agree, but I can come to your school to study and further my education."

"How can you come to my school to study and further your education, with your current status?"

"I can resign and enroll in adult education."

"Is it that reckless? You're giving up your public office?"

"Oh, right? My dad would definitely scold me to death. Then I'll take a leave of absence without pay. I don't want to work anymore, I'm coming to play with you."

"No, young lady. You just said your only pleasure was solving cases, and now you're not solving cases anymore?"

"Hmm~~, that's my long-term ideal. I'll just rest for a while. Studying together, eating together, it sounds like fun."

Lin Yuan got a headache listening to her, "Did our milk tea have alcohol in it?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan said, "I'm calling my dad right now."

Lin Yuan swallowed dryly, because he felt that he seemed to have encountered a moment to witness a miracle.

"Hello, Dad, are you asleep?"

"Yanyan, what made you think of calling Dad? How's work recently?" Zhang Yan was so audacious that she directly put him on speakerphone, scaring Lin Yuan so much that he didn't dare to breathe loudly. This was his first time witnessing the madness of this official's daughter.

From the other end of the phone, one could hear the noisy clinking of glasses, seemingly at a wine table.

"Everything's fine."

"Wait for Dad to go out for a bit."

"Okay, Yanyan, what are you doing now?"

"I'm lying in bed."

"You're calling Dad now, you must have something, are you feeling wronged?"

"No~~, I just thought, I don't want to do this job anymore. Can I go back to school for a while?"

"Dad didn't approve of you taking this path in the first place, but you can't just change your mind. Tell Dad, why don't you want to do it anymore?"

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just... I miss the days in school."

"That's easy to handle. I'll arrange for you to return to school for a period of further study. You can come back whenever you want."

"Dad, you're the best."

"Oh~~, it's rare to hear you act spoiled."

"Dad, I don't want to go back to my alma mater for further study. I'll just stay here in Purple Gold, it's convenient for me to visit my grandparents."

"Hmm~~, that's good too. Let me think, which school is better?"

"Just Purple Gold Aviation."

Zhang Yan blurted out.

"Why did you think of studying at this one?"

"I just picked it randomly. I just feel that aviation and aerospace sound very impressive."

Zhang Yan's excuse was obviously clumsy.

"Oh? If you want to study, Dad will definitely help you achieve it. But you won't tell me tomorrow morning that you've changed your mind, will you?"

"I definitely won't change."

Zhang Yan said with certainty.

"Then you didn't just pick it randomly, you had it in mind all along. What is it really for? Tell Dad."

"I... recently heard Grandpa talk about Great-Grandpa's past, and I want to dedicate myself to national defense."

"Good, good, good... Dad won't ask, is that okay?"

After Zhang Yan and her father continued to chatter for a while, they finally hung up the phone.

During this time, Lin Yuan, who was next to her, even breathed carefully.

"Senior brother, I've already hung up. Why are you so nervous?"

Lin Yuan let out a long sigh, "In ancient times, I would have had my dog legs broken."

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

Zhang Yan didn't delve deeper, because she was immersed in her triumph, "I told you I'm still very smart. Senior brother, just wait to be my classmate."

"You're really coming to study?"

"Yes."

"You can really come to study?"

"My dad never lies to me."

"Just... that easy?"

"Otherwise?"

"So, the result of me calling you out late at night to talk about serious business is that you decided to temporarily take off your uniform and come to my school for further study? Then what are we still talking about the Good Group for?"

"Is the Good Group's matter very important?"

Facing Zhang Yan, who was looking at him innocently, Lin Yuan realized that it would be good for her to come and study with him.

As the saying goes, 'one who stays near vermilion gets stained red', he could at least subtly influence her by setting an example.

Lin Yuan vaguely had a plan for transforming the official's daughter in his mind.

"You come. When you do, senior brother will take you to play fun things."

Zhang Yan said excitedly, "Play what? Tell me quickly."

"You'll know when the time comes."]}
