Chapter 354: You Little Liar

As soon as Xinyan got off the bus, she saw He Jinxuan waiting at the stop.

He Jinxuan looked at the person he’d been dreaming about day and night, reaching out to take the large duffle bag from Xinyan’s hand, his face full of affection: "You’re back, are you tired?"

Xinyan smiled at him: "Not really."

Watching the bus drive away, and the people who got off ahead of her already walking far away, she beamed at He Jinxuan: "Did you come specially to pick me up?"

He Jinxuan didn’t answer directly but instead reached out to take the little girl’s hand and started walking toward the residential area: "What do you think, you little trickster, you said you would be back soon."

Xinyan felt a bit guilty and acted playfully: "Well, I’m back now."

He Jinxuan pretended to be angry: "If you didn’t come back soon, it would be time for school to start."

As they talked about this, He Jinxuan remembered the admission letter: "By the way, your admission letter is still at the school."

Xinyan looked up at him: "Why didn’t you bring it back?"

He Jinxuan with a slight grievance on his face: "I went to the school, but Principal Feng said the admission letter was too important, you have to retrieve it yourself. Besides, there are awards from both the province and the city.

This time, you not only made our school proud again, but you also gained fame, and of course, the school wants to publicize it well, just waiting for you to return."

Xinyan understood these words and the two walked to the residential area chatting and laughing.

The news of Han Xinyan’s return quickly spread throughout the residential area. She had just tidied up at home when someone came to visit.

"Yanyan, you’re back?"

"Jianlan, come in quickly, I just got back a little while ago and tidied up the house a bit."

"You dead girl, how could you be gone for so many days?"

"I only rushed back after finishing things over there. You received your admission letter, right?"

"Yeah, I got it. Thank you, Xinyan. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have hardly gotten that score."

"Look at you, didn’t we already thank each other? Besides, it was all your own hard work, don’t mention it again, or do you not consider me your good sister anymore?"

"Okay, okay, I won’t say it again. By the way, your admission letter is with Principal Feng. You wouldn’t believe how busy the school leaders have been these days."

Xinyan smiled slightly as Zhao Jianlan talked about the recent happenings at school: "You wouldn’t know, ever since your results came out and you became the provincial science champion, leaders from different schools have been visiting our school every day to learn from us.

Principal Feng and the other school leaders have been busy entertaining guests and have loved every minute of it, just waiting for you, the person involved, to come back."

Just as she said a few words, Duan Ruilian also arrived: "Xinyan, you finally came back. Wow, Jianlan, you got here fast."

Xinyan smiled and pointed to a little stool beside her: "Ruilian, have a seat. I’ll cut some watermelon for you all."

Duan Ruilian sat down with a smile: "Xinyan, stop fussing, sit down and let’s chat."

Xinyan went back into the house, using the basket as a cover, and took out a watermelon: "Cutting watermelon doesn’t stop us from chatting, this melon is very sweet, you all should try it."

She placed a plate on the table in front of them: "Ruilian, did your letter arrive?"

Duan Ruilian’s face was full of smiles: "Yes, it arrived."

Next to her, Zhao Jianlan joked with a laugh: "East Province University, Journalism Department, how’s that, impressive, right?"

Duan Ruilian looked at her happily saying: "You’re not bad either, a worthy People’s teacher, right, Teacher Zhao."

Xinyan smiled watching the two: "Jianlan, with your personality, how did you end up choosing teaching as a profession?"

Zhao Jianlan responded to the question: "I hadn’t thought of becoming a teacher initially, but my mom said that teaching is good for girls since you also get summer and winter vacations, so she persuaded me into it."

The three burst into laughter.

When the two were leaving, they agreed that after Xinyan went to school to get the admission letter tomorrow, they would go up the mountain together.

Last time, because she didn’t have the time, she declined Zhao Jianlan, but this time Xinyan readily agreed.

Shortly after sending the two off, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang came over together, followed by their granddaughter-in-law, Lin Aifeng.

Xinyan smilingly welcomed the three of them in: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, why did you come over?"

She then greeted Lin Aifeng, smiling as she said: "Come inside and have a seat in the yard."
