You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 311 Confirming One's Heart

When Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong got home from school, they saw a large group of nephews and nieces.

My attention was immediately drawn.

Naturally, they didn't notice the smile on Lu Yuanqing's face or the miserable look on Lu Mingnan's face.

"Brother Xiao Nan, we ran into Liu Zhiqing on our way home from school. She asked me to tell you to go to our usual spot to find her. She said she needs your help!" Lu Mingbei snatched a toy from Sen Sen's hand with a cheeky grin as he watched Sen Sen jump into his arms, all the while relaying a message to Lu Mingnan.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingnan blushed to his neck.

puff!

Lu Yuanqing laughed out loud without any restraint.

The unusual laughter finally made Lu Mingbei and Lu Mingzhong deign to look up at them, and then the two of them...

Lu Mingbei suddenly realized, "Oh right! Brother Xiao Nan, when did you get so close to the female educated youth again? Have you fallen for Liu, the educated youth, again?"

Lu Mingzhong, standing to the side, said calmly and affirmed, "It must be. Fourth Uncle said that Brother Xiao Nan doesn't like to follow the usual path and only likes the educated youth."

Lu Mingnan: "..."

Lu Yuanqing: "...Hahaha!!!"

"Oh!" Lu Mingbei pretended to understand, then looked at Lu Mingnan seriously and said, "So we have a sister-in-law now? Or a sister-in-law who was sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution?"

Lu Mingzhong said, "Brother Xiao Nan, you really do get back up from where you fell down!"

Lu Mingnan: "..."

Lu Yuanqing: "...Hahaha!!!"

"I'm going out for a bit!" Lu Mingnan fled in a panic.

Now, at this moment, Lu Mingnan finally understands why Lu Yuanqing valued their studies so much before.

Damn it, I haven't read enough books, and now I can't even win an argument with people.

He was at a loss for words!

"Hahaha……"

Lu Yuanqing's laughter still lingered from a great distance behind him, leaving Lu Mingnan helpless.

When they arrived at the usual spot, even though Lu Yuanqing's laughter could no longer be heard, Lu Mingnan still couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if he were enveloped by a mocking laughter.

From afar, Lu Mingnan spotted Liu Ling and instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Not far away, Liu Ling turned around and saw Lu Mingnan. Immediately, a big smile appeared on his face. The afterglow of the setting sun shone behind her, making Liu Ling look quite extraordinary.

To be honest, Liu Ling is pretty, but she can't compare to Cheng Ruolan.

The reason why Cheng Ruolan was able to win Lu Mingnan's favor so easily was that Lu Mingnan himself could not ignore the fact that she was beautiful.

Cheng Ruolan is beautiful and has a delicate demeanor, which easily arouses people's protective instincts.

Liu Ling is quite different. She has delicate features, but she possesses a unique charm that makes her impossible to ignore.

That's vitality.

She may be small in stature, but she is full of energy. When you see her smile and her vibrant personality, you can't help but smile along with her.

Liu Ling smiled and waved to Lu Mingnan. Lu Mingnan snapped out of his daze and approached her with a complicated expression.

"Lu Mingnan, you're here!"

"Ok!"

"I've finished reading this book, can you get me another one?"

Liu Ling had been reviewing for a long time, ever since the day Lu Mingnan told her.

She wrote home asking her parents to send her her high school textbooks, but what she received were her siblings' books, which had long been used by the family to vent their anger.

After Lu Mingnan learned about this situation, he lent her textbooks.

The Lu family has high school textbooks, especially the "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" collected by Lu Yuanqing.

Looking at the decisive Liu Ling, Lu Mingnan began to doubt whether Lu Yuanqing had guessed wrong.

No matter how you look at it, Liu Zhiqing doesn't seem to like him at all!

"Here you go! What are you daydreaming about?" Liu Ling waved the textbook in front of him.

Lu Mingnan blinked, took the textbook, and said, "I didn't know you were looking for me because of the textbook, so I didn't bring it to you."

"It's alright!" Liu Ling waved her hand magnanimously and said, "Just bring it to me when you have time."

Her grades weren't very good when she was in school.

Because her attention wasn't on her studies at the time, she didn't take it seriously.

Now, even reading textbooks is very difficult.

If Lu Mingnan hadn't told her in advance, giving her so much time to review, she wouldn't have been able to guarantee that she had the ability to get into university.

As for the exact news about the resumption of the college entrance examination, Liu Ling didn't know yet; she simply trusted Lu Mingnan.

Lu Mingnan laughed and said, "How's your review going? You'd better hurry up. Sister Xiaoxi sent a letter saying that it seems there's already a meeting at the higher-ups, and the document might be issued soon."

Liu Ling's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Hmm!" Lu Mingnan smiled good-naturedly.

"That's great! Lu Mingnan, thank you so much this time."

Lu Mingnan watched her excited expression quietly, a fleeting emotion passing through his mind.

Seeing how happy she was, he suddenly had the thought that she was quite nice too.

Once the idea came to mind, it was impossible to stop.

His hesitation, his guesses, his embarrassment—all of that vanished at this moment; all that remained was confirmation, just confirmation.

"Lu Mingnan, thank you so much. You're such a good person, haha. I've done pretty well with my review. Although there are some questions I don't understand, I can figure out most of them."

"Lu Mingnan, I don't know how to thank you. The college entrance examination is really going to be reinstated. I can take the exam and go back to the city through my own ability. Lu Mingnan, you have really helped me a lot."

Liu Ling was so caught up in the joy of the resumption of the college entrance examination that she didn't see Lu Mingnan's smile freeze on his face.

Lu Mingnan shut his mouth, and the slight possibility that had arisen instantly vanished.

Back to the city!

It's that same return trip again.

Yes! Wasn't the only wish of all the educated youth sent to the countryside to return to the city?

Liu, the educated youth, was a city dweller, so it's perfectly normal for him to want to return to the city, isn't it?

Moreover, she spent so much time and energy studying and reading books, wasn't it all so that she could get into university and return to the city?

College students!

In the entire commune, his aunt was the only college student. What an honorable thing that was!

Liu Zhiqing neither wanted to stay in the village nor would he stay.

How could he bear to let her give up everything and stay in the village?

Lu Mingnan took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions, and his lips curled up again, but the smile didn't seem very genuine.

"Liu Zhiqing, you can do it! You can definitely get into university, become a proud college student, and return to the city."

This is his heartfelt wish.

Liu Ling looked at Lu Mingnan with a bright smile and nodded, "I also have great confidence in myself, Lu Mingnan. Just wait and see if I can get into university and prove it to you!"

Liu Ling, radiating confidence, was so dazzling that no one could look away.

Lu Mingnan smiled but did not answer, though he was absolutely certain of her words.
