Chapter 26: Is Lin Tingwan Coming?

"Why take your sister's place at school?"

"You've been refusing to tell me," Jiang Yubai replied almost instinctively. "Why the sudden willingness? Did you have a change of heart?"

Lin Jianxia choked on her words, a breath catching in her chest. She stood up to leave. "If you don't want to listen, then forget it!"

"Hey, hey, hey, wait," Jiang Yubai quickly grabbed her sleeve and pressed her back onto the stone bench. "I want to hear it."

Lin Jianxia glared at him, while Jiang Yubai returned an innocent look.

Pursing her lips, she finally spoke up. "Why do you think... I'm taking my sister's place at school?"

Why? Jiang Yubai thought for a moment and offered the most logical guess he could muster. "Because... you only have to pay one tuition fee, and the two of you can take turns attending classes?"

After all, she couldn't even afford her rent. Expecting her to cover tuition and miscellaneous fees for two people really did seem unrealistic.
