Chapter 5 : To tell the truth, shocking Xia Shiyu
When the last person finished donating, Wang Yi looked at the students below and said, âContinue with the morning reading and wait for the teachers to tabulate the schoolâs donations. Xia Shiyu, go back and prepare. After the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, the principal will hand over the money to you.â
Xia Shiyu nodded with tears in her eyes. She originally had a happy family, but illness took away her mother two years ago, and now it was going to take away her father. Such a situation would be a fatal blow to any high school goddess.
Xia Shiyu was already full of despair about life. Unexpectedly, instead of her relatives and friends helping with her circumstances, it was the school that helped her. Especially those classmates who donated money, it gave her a new expectation for life.
âDonât be stressed, study hard.â Wang Yi finished and walked out of the classroom with the donation box.
The homeroom teacher in the classroom next door also walked through the aisle with the donation box.
âDo you think weâll be able to raise all the money with this donation?â
âI think itâs possible. Our class alone has more than 200,000 yuan. Even if each class only donated 10,000 yuan, it would still be several hundred thousand.â
âForget it. Without Lin Xiaowanâs money, our class only has a few thousand yuan in donations all together.â
âThatâs true. Most of them donated ten or twenty yuan, only a few people donated more than a hundred yuan.â
ââ¦â¦..â
Only Su Lin knew that the donation this time wasnât too much. Although there were many rich families in the school, it didnât mean that they would donate more.
Some parents didnât want to pay, and some people directly discounted the money given by their parents and pocketed the rest.
As soon as the bell rang, Xia Shiyu called Lin Xiaowan out of the classroom. Lin Xiaowan had donated so much money. Of course, she had to thank her properly. However, she didnât know how to thank her.
As the two golden flowers of Jiangning First High School, they were often compared. Xia Shiyu was gentle like water, and Lin Xiaowan was cold like a fairy.
The two attracted a lot of attention when they walked together, but these people didnât include Su Lin.
Chen Yang wanted to report to Su Lin about the purchase last night, but Su Lin told him to talk after school. Then he turned his gaze to the two girls chatting outside the window.
Xia Shiyu pinched the corner of her clothes and was about to speak, but she was interrupted by Lin Xiaowan.
âXiao Yu, I can guess what you want to say. Can you listen to me first?â
Xia Shiyu paused and then nodded.
Lin Xiaowan flipped her fine hair and said, âXiao Yu, actually, I didnât donate that 200,000 yuan to you. Su Lin asked me to help him donate it.â
âHuh?â Xia Shiyu covered her mouth, her eyes full of confusion.
Lin Xiaowan sighed in her heart when she saw her reaction, she knew it would be like this. Anyone who knew that Su Lin had donated so much money would widen their eyes in disbelief.
âLin⦠Lin Xiaowan, you said that you donated 200,000 yuan on behalf of Su Lin, thatâs impossible. I have never even interacted with him. I havenât even spoken to him for a whole semester.â Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin through the window.
Su Lin was reading a geography book. He wanted to learn more about this world. After he finished reading, he was surprised to find that the territories of these countries were basically the same as in his previous life, but the names were different.
Lin Xiaowan also looked at Su Lin with Xia Shiyu. She said, âShiyu, although itâs hard to believe, this is the truth. Su Lin came to me in the morning and gave me 200,000 yuan to donate for him.â
âBut⦠But⦠But why?â Xia Shiyu voiced out the confusion in her heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou want to know the reason?â Lin Xiaowan said it with a strange look.
Xia Shiyu nodded fiercely. She really wanted to know the reason. Although she was beautiful and had good grades, she was not the type of girl that Su Lin liked.
Su Linâs goal has always been Lin Xiaowan. Although he never made it clear, it was the truth.
The two had no interactions, and that was why she was confused.
Lin Xiaowan looked at Xia Shiyu and chuckled. âIn fact, we have always been fooled by this guy. Donât be fooled by his arrogant appearance, he is very careful.â
âThe reason he asked me to help is very simple. The college entrance exam is coming soon. He doesnât want rumors to spread at the school. It will affect his reputation and performance in the exam.â
âBut I think he is most likely thinking for you. This is 200,000 yuan. If it is spread out, who knows how big of a storm it will cause? It certainly doesnât matter to him. At most, it will be a scene of a rich young master pursuing Cinderella. But for you, it is different. You will be attacked by a lot of people.â
Xia Shiyuâs eyes were filled with tears. âBut I donât know him at all and he donated an astonishing amount of money. I canât afford it.â
âWell, you donât have to worry about this. Su Linâs father is one of the richest people in Jiangning City. It is easy for him to donate as much as he wants.â
â200,000 yuan may be an astronomical number for you, but for Su Lin, it may be a reward for a good exam score.â
Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin, who was reading, and thought, âIt seems that I misunderstood him before. He is really a very gentle person.â
âBut why does he treat people so arrogantly and make his relationship with his classmates bad?â Xia Shiyu couldnât figure it out. She shook her head and thought only Su Lin could answer this question.
Looking at Xia Shiyuâs silence, Lin Xiaowan smiled. âShiyu,I know what you are thinking. You are curious about why he usually makes people angry, right?â
Xia Shiyu looked at Lin Xiaowan in surprise.
âHehe, you are not the only one whoâs curious, but I am also curious about this. I really donât know what this guy is thinking. How about we ask him together?â
Xia Shiyu shook her head. âLetâs not. Su Lin must have his own difficulties.â
âOkay, I will ask him myself.â Lin Xiaowanâs eyes were full of curiosity.
âAh! Isnât that a little inappropriate?â
âWhatâs wrong with that? I am just asking. If he wants to say it, then say it. If he doesnât want to, then forget it.â
âOkayâ¦â Xia Shiyu looked at Su Linâs face and thought about how to thank him.
Before she could think about it further, Lin Xiaowan, who was next to her, said seriously, âShiyu, in my opinion, Su Linâs worries are not unreasonable. Just keep this between you and me. Donât tell anyone else, okay?â
Xia Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment. When she thought about how thoughtful Su Lin was for her, she felt sweet. âXiaowan, donât worry. Since Su Lin doesnât want people to know, I will definitely not tell anyone.â
âMhmm!!â
For some reason, Lin Xiaowan didnât want others to know about Su Linâs unknown side.
Although she didnât have any other thoughts about Su Lin at this time, these thoughts were subconscious and unfounded.
