Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: Encountering Her Again

Zhou Yanlin actually didn’t want to be disturbed, with someone constantly chattering by his ear, it really affected his mood.

But Lu Xinxin seemed oblivious to his irritation, still talking away.

Zhou Yanlin furrowed his brows and stayed silent until finally, Lu Xinxin sensed something was off. She paused, then hooked the hair beside her cheek behind her ear, masking her embarrassment, and said, “Sorry, am I bothering you?”

Zhou Yanlin was quite the gentleman as he softly shook his head.

Then he averted his gaze, suddenly, it was caught by a figure not far away.

That… wasn’t that Shu Joy?

Zhou Yanlin thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He squinted, then looked again more closely; it really was Shu Joy.

She wore her hair in a ponytail, jet-black and shiny. She was dressed in a white princess dress that made her look very pure.

Zhou Yanlin suddenly felt nervous. What should he do? Should he go over and greet her? It looked like she was here for the speech competition too. She must be in the primary school category, right?

Seemed like she was in the sixth grade, the last time he heard Auntie Shu mention it.

Because Zhou Yanlin was staring in that direction so intently, it drew Lu Xinxin’s attention too. She also looked over and then her brow furrowed slightly.

In their field of vision was a beautiful young girl, apparently in the upper years of primary school, delicate and cute with shallow dimples that appeared when she smiled.

Zhou Yanlin still watched her, and Lu Xinxin silently complained to herself. Could it be someone he knew? That’s why he hadn’t shifted his gaze?

So, she couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Lin, do… do you know her?”

“Mm,” Zhou Yanlin responded with a single word, then he stood up and walked towards Shu Joy’s direction.

“Is she your sister?” Lu Xinxin guessed, actually just asking offhandedly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanlin nodded seriously; in his heart, she indeed was a very cute younger sister.

Lu Xinxin smiled happily and then said, “No wonder, and she really is cute.”

But what Zhou Yanlin responded with was his own back.

Since his turn in the competition was later, he certainly wasn’t worried it would affect him.

He walked up to Shu Joy, his figure blocking some of the light.

Shu Joy thought it was an accident and looked up.

Eh, a familiar face.

Right, she was the brother of Auntie Bai Lan.

“What a coincidence, running into you here,” Zhou Yanlin greeted first, after all, he was the boy.

“Yeah, what a coincidence,” Shu Joy was slightly taken aback, so she nodded.

“You’re participating in the primary senior group?” But Zhou Yanlin knew from the tag around her neck.

Felt like he was asking something he already knew, looking a bit foolish.

“Yeah, but mine’s later too, I’m still waiting,” Shu Joy said helplessly.

“Mm, I’m also late. Good luck to you,” Zhou Yanlin wished her.

Shu Joy nodded, “Good luck to you too.”

After a brief conversation, Zhou Yanlin reluctantly returned to his seat.

Lu Xinxin sat there, watching everything unfold, her brows knitted.

Their conversation, their manners, didn’t seem like typical siblings.

It felt like there was some shyness between them, not so natural, but Zhou Yanlin’s gaze was filled with indulgence. She couldn’t have been wrong, could she?
