Chapter 1365: Chapter 1364: Are You Just Passing By?

Bailante looked at his son, sighing with affection, his little treasure had really grown up.

Indeed, as children grow, their mothers can’t hold on to them anymore.

But Bai Lan took pleasure in witnessing his growth.

To her surprise, the boy actually had quite good taste.

He was still young, but it was fine as long as he was clear in his own mind.

Returning home, Zhou Yanlin sent Shu Joy a message asking if she had arrived home yet?

Oh right, they had just exchanged phone numbers, under the pretense that Shu Joy could ask him for help with any questions she didn’t understand.

The moment he got her number, Zhou Yanlin was truly thrilled.

Shu Joy replied swiftly to the message, saying they had also reached home.

…

Time went by day after day.

Shu Joy came to her graduation exam calmly, thanks to her consistent good grades; she just needed to perform normally.

The day before the exam, Zhou Yanlin made a special call to cheer her on.

Shu Joy felt comforted but also amused since it was merely an elementary school graduation exam, yet Yan Lin seemed so nervous about it.

What Shu Joy didn’t understand was that Zhou Yanlin hoped she would get into First Middle School, the same target he had for his own high school.

There’s a saying, “Those who are near the water get the moon first,” so he hoped that in the days to come, they would both be at the same school.

Seeing his nervousness, Shu Joy also promised that she would definitely do well on the exam.

Then came the intense examination time.

After the exam, Shu Joy took a deep breath–she felt quite good about it.

She left the school gates and was about to take the bus home when she saw a familiar figure standing not far away.

The figure gradually approached her.

Looking closely, Shu Joy’s heart skipped a beat–it was Zhou Yanlin.

She hadn’t expected him to be waiting for her here.

She wanted to approach the exam with a normal mindset, so she didn’t have her parents come over.

But why did he come? Had he come on purpose?

Shu Joy approached somewhat awkwardly, standing before him; against the backlight, he seemed to be haloed in radiance.

The youth was wearing a white shirt tucked into his jeans, towering over her, so Shu Joy had to look up to see his face clearly.

“Yan Lin, why did you come? Just passing by?” Shu Joy asked with some confusion.

Zhou Yanlin couldn’t help but laugh. How could he just be passing by?

Especially when one was to the south and the other to the north, but Zhou Yanlin didn’t want her to feel pressured, so he nodded anyway, “Yeah, I just happened to be passing by. I knew today was your last exam, so I just stood here to try my luck. I didn’t expect to be so fated to see you coming out immediately.”

Zhou Yanlin’s words were well put, not the least bit intrusive; Shu Joy nodded and believed him.

“Did someone from home come to pick you up?” Zhou Yanlin asked, harboring other plans in his heart.

“No, it’s just a small test; I didn’t ask them to come,” Shu Joy shook her head.

That was perfect.

Zhou Yanlin inwardly cheered.

Then he suggested, raising a slight smile, “It’s still early. How about you give a call home to let them know, and then we go grab something to eat?”

After he spoke, Zhou Yanlin watched Shu Joy intently, worried she might refuse.

Fortunately, after she made the call, she nodded and agreed.

They found a decent snack bar, and chatted while eating.

Watching Shu Joy eat with such joy brought a smile to Zhou Yanlin’s heart; he loved this feeling.
