Linlin realized what she had said, bit her tongue in annoyance, and wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Yan Yuan's voice unconsciously carried a slight chuckle, "What did you say? Say it again?"

He then said, emphasizing each word, "Rigorous Engineer Lin, do you have any data to support your statement? Do you need a sample? Can I be your sample?"

Linlin's head suddenly exploded, she felt her face flush, and all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She hunched her shoulders, trying to avoid the warm breath spraying on her ears.

Two strong hands suddenly appeared around her waist, gripping her slender waist tightly. Linlin covered her face with her hands, trying to calm the pounding in her heart and the rapid beating of her heart.

Yan Yuan kept observing Linlin's reaction. As soon as he saw the slightest resistance on her face, he would let go.

But no.

Linlin just covered her face, but kept snuggling into his arms.

Yan Yuan laughed and pulled her even tighter into his arms.

The atmosphere was so ambiguous, it felt like pink bubbles were floating all around. Linlin was enjoying the feeling of embracing him, and her heart felt a bittersweet sensation, like she had eaten a lemon, which was a bit inexplicable.

"Linlin!"

Just as Linlin was about to speak, she heard her brother calling her from downstairs. She quickly pushed Yan Yuan away, blushing as she reminded him, "Although I hugged you, I didn't agree to be with you."

Yan Yuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll continue pursuing you."

Linlin glanced at him shyly, then quickly went downstairs to find her brother.

There is a full exam week at the end of the first semester of freshman year and before the winter break, during which all freshmen must take final exams.

Linlin's school, Capital Aviation Academy, is a top-tier military-industrial engineering institution with extremely difficult entrance exams.

In particular, the subject of "Advanced Mathematics" is often used as a way for schools to intimidate students.

It's common for nearly half the students in a class to fail, and even if they're just half a point short, the teacher won't make an exception.

If you fail, you must retake the exam. If you fail the retake, you will face repeating the year or not being able to get your degree.

Despite the difficulty level, Linlin scored a high score of 94 in advanced mathematics.

Apart from advanced mathematics, my scores in subjects such as university physics, engineering drawing, linear algebra, and theoretical mechanics were all around 90, with none below 85.

Those who can get into this school and this major are generally the best of the best in the local area. Although they knew that Linlin was the top scorer in the province, her classmates didn't take it too seriously. Their college entrance examination scores were also among the top in the province, and they were all a bit arrogant.

It wasn't until this final exam, when half the students failed, that Linlin achieved such a high score, truly making them take notice.

Looking back, they realized that they had been paying attention to Linlin.

However, most people only focus on her beautiful appearance and overlook the fact that she always seems to be studying whenever they see her.

The teacher even specifically praised her in class and reminded her not to forget to apply for a scholarship.

The little girl is very well-behaved and so beautiful. Many people pursue her, but she is not distracted. Instead, she focuses on her studies and achieves such outstanding results. Which teacher wouldn't like her?

Dong Xiaomin also ranked first in the Physics Department this time.

One is aircraft design, and the other is physics; both are the school's flagship programs.

For the first time this year, both first-place positions were taken by girls, and upon further inquiry, it turned out that the two girls were good friends.

Looking at the accounts, it seems that besides attending classes, they spend all their time studying in the library.

This seemed to have enlightened everyone.

I thought I would be free once I got into university, but outstanding people are still working hard. If they don't work hard, they will be left far behind.

Linlin's results instantly boosted the morale of her classmates.

Linlin didn't care about any of that; she wanted to go home!

She started packing her things when exam week began.

As soon as the results came out, she boarded the train home with Jiang Chengzhou and Shen Man.

As for Yan Yuan, he would have to go home two days later due to work.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang knew that their eldest nephew and beloved daughter were coming back, so they started tidying up their room early in the morning.

Lin Zhilan also has a key to Yan Yuan's house, but because no one lives there and the house is too dilapidated, the things inside are no longer usable.

Therefore, Lin Zhilan also prepared a guest room for Yan Yuan at home.

Su Li also started his winter vacation earlier than Linlin and the others. He was so excited that he was like he had drunk fake alcohol. Even though he knew they would be delayed on the road for a few more days, he still ran from home to the dock and from the dock back home every day without minding the trouble.

On the day they returned, Su Li got up very early and knocked on Lin Zhilan and Su Lang's door, "Get up! Your older brother and sister will be here soon!"

Even in winter, it gets light earlier on the island than in the north.

Su Lang got up and looked around; it was still dark.

He was about to get up to discipline the brat when Lin Zhilan was already woken up.

She yawned. "Never mind, I can't sleep anyway. Get up, get up."

Su Lang snorted and got up to open the door.

When Su Li saw that it was his father who opened the door, he turned around and ran away.

"You little brat!"

After a simple breakfast, they went to the pier.

The wind was quite strong at the dock, and Su Li leaned on the dock railing, unable to stop for a moment.

A short while later, Shen Canshan and Kong Baozhu also arrived.

As soon as Kong Baozhu arrived, she immediately took Lin Zhilan's arm.

Perhaps due to her previous illness, her thinking is a bit slower than normal, but she is usually a gentle person, and this slow pace makes her seem even gentler.

As she took her arm, Lin Zhilan was reminded of her younger sister, Wang Rou.

Because of Li Jiang's job transfer, Wang Rou and Aunt Hehua also moved away from the island.

Wang Rou almost divorced Li Jiang because of this incident, which scared Li Jiang so much that he repeatedly promised to take her back to the island every few days before she gave up.

Wang Rou didn't really want a divorce; she just didn't want to be too far away from Sister Lin.

For a while after moving there, Wang Rou, just like Lin Lin, would call back every few days and tell Lin Zhilan everything.

It wasn't until Lin Zhilan encouraged her to go out and find a job illustrating and printing for a publishing house, and she even drew a comic book at the request of a magazine, that things got a little better.

Aunt Hehua is getting old, and Wang Rou still hasn't made much progress in housework.

She earned over 1000 yuan from that comic book, and took Aunt Lotus out to eat at the canteen and restaurants every day.

Aunt Lotus was worried about the money and food coupons, so after eating out for a while, she insisted on cooking at home.

Wang Rou is wealthy and generous, so she hired another nanny for her family.

It costs fifteen yuan a month for only three meals a day and simple cleaning work.

Aunt Lotus has been working since she was a child and has never thought about hiring a nanny.

Wang Rou acted first and informed her later. She was terrified, fearing that she would cause trouble for her family and be influenced by capitalist practices.
