AMTBYIGA Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Going to School

Lin Sui lay on the bed, his calves swaying back and forth, meticulously selecting and replying to a few comments in the comment section. Then, holding his phone, he grinned foolishly at the 50,000 followers on his homepage before finally exiting the app with satisfaction.

He was too excited just now. Lin Sui only realized he had a new WeChat message after exiting. He opened it with a good mood, but his smile suddenly froze in the next second.

His almond-shaped eyes widened little by little as if he had seen a ghost.

Wait.

Lin Sui sat up with a “whoosh,” rubbed his eyes, and looked serious. He read the message word by word, then read it again from the beginning. He finally confirmed that it was a text message urging him to pay the property management fee.

Property management fee: 800 yuan.

Lin Sui’s remaining balance after buying a week’s worth of groceries: 1106.2

Lin Sui calculated the remaining balance after paying the property management fee with a trembling hand, then his eyes darkened, and he fell headfirst onto the soft mattress.

Ahhhhhhhh! Little Lin and Gu Nian are going to starve again!

Lin Sui covered his face with the small blanket, the joy of successfully starting his influencer journey completely vanished.

As if to vent, he flailed his slender limbs wildly in the air a few times, then collapsed on the bed like a de-energized little robot. After a long while, he slowly sat up, hugged the pillow, and thought about what to do next.

He definitely couldn’t ask Gu Nian again. Gu Nian was already so pitiful. What if the 1,500 yuan he gave him was already all of his assets? Wouldn’t he be rubbing salt in his wounds!

But he couldn’t monetize his influencer account so quickly, so he had to quickly think of another way to make money.

Lin Sui’s mind was full of making money. He didn’t notice that the screen of the phone beside him was still lit up and had somehow switched back to the short video app. A gentle music played under a unboxing video.

At first, Lin Sui didn’t take the video to heart at all. He bit his lip, racking his brains for a way to make money, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream.

Lin Sui followed the sound and saw that the unboxing video being played was from a college girl who received a gift from her boyfriend. At this time, she was holding a handmade scarf, her eyes full of surprise. The classmates around her were chattering about how difficult it was to knit the scarf.

An idea flashed into Lin Sui’s mind in an instant.

Scarves are difficult to knit + popular among couples = he can knit scarves for others!

Lin Sui felt like he could do it again.

Putting aside everything else, he definitely had confidence in his hands-on skills.

Not to mention scarves, he had even knitted sweaters for his parents and younger brother in his previous life. Although he didn’t send them out in the end, the quality was top-notch.

Lin Sui acted immediately. He immediately posted a message on the second-hand shopping platform to take orders for scarf making, with a very confident copy:

[Any scarf can be knitted, fast speed, price negotiable]

Click to send.

No one came looking for him for a while. It was getting late, so Lin Sui took a shower and lay on the bed, holding his phone and waiting for a while before unknowingly closing his eyes and falling asleep.

He had no dreams all night.

The next day, Lin Sui was awakened by a series of harsh and rapid telephone ringtones.

At this time, Lin Sui was so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes. He answered the phone with his eyes closed, his confused voice weak and listless, “Who is it?”

“Lin Sui! Do you know that your leave is over? Didn’t you say you’d be back yesterday? Hurry back and report, or you can wait to fail this semester again!”

A woman’s roaring voice came out, and Lin Sui was so frightened that he was completely awake. The hazy eyes on the bed were full of confusion.

However, before he could ask, the other side had angrily hung up the phone. Lin Sui scratched his messy hair a few times and brought the phone to his eyes, and found that the caller ID was “Counselor.”

Lin Sui:!

Suddenly awake.

Lin Sui sat up from the bed with a “whoosh,” and a terrible thought surfaced with incomparable intensity.

He wouldn’t… still not have graduated, right?

The original owner’s memories didn’t mention this!

Lin Sui frantically opened WeChat, and after a pile of chats with his friends, he found an overly quiet dormitory group, noted as “Room 304.”

From the name, it could be seen that his relationship with his roommates was probably very bad.

The latest message inside was a message forwarded by one of his roommates about graduation, which were a 2m×2.4m graduation design, an 8,000-word graduation thesis, and a graduation defense.

Without a doubt, the original owner hadn’t prepared a single word or stroke.

Not to mention drawing, he didn’t even have such a large drawing board.

Lin Sui gasped, his small head buzzing with confusion.

Help, he escaped the torment of high school, why does college still have homework!

But that wasn’t the end of it. Lin Sui hadn’t fully digested the fact that he might be graduating late when his phone buzzed again with a message. Lin Sui reflexively clicked to see it, and it was from the counselor who had just scolded him.

[The make-up exam will start at 9:00 am next Saturday.]

Lin Sui was completely numb.

He didn’t even want to know which subject the original owner had failed and needed to take a make-up exam, because he intuitively felt that if he asked, he would not only be scolded again, but the final result would most likely not be what he wanted to see.

Lin Sui didn’t even remember how he got dressed. He came to the first floor to prepare breakfast like a zombie. The always sunny little face couldn’t smile, and he was listlessly poking at the rice with his chopsticks while eating. Anyone could tell that something was wrong.

Gu Nian observed for a moment and slowly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Sui was startled and raised his head, forcing a smile, “It’s nothing, I just don’t have much of an appetite today.”

Of course, Gu Nian didn’t believe him. Lin Sui had never been unenthusiastic about eating. He thought for a while and said euphemistically, “You can tell me if something is wrong.”

Lin Sui shook his head and firmly grasped the chopsticks. “It’s really nothing.” After a pause, he continued casually, “I’m going to school later. I might be back later, I’ve already made lunch, you can heat it up yourself.”

Gu Nian squinted his eyes and slowly nodded after a moment, pretending not to see that Lin Sui was changing the subject. He thought to himself that if Lin Sui didn’t want to say, so be it, he would just find someone to investigate later.

Lin Sui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and silently warned himself not to reveal any more flaws. If Gu Nian knew about his failing the exam, how could he establish a calm and reliable image, how could he become a little tree hole that Gu Nian could confide in, and how could he become a support for the fragile little pitiful one (Gu Nian:?)!

In a word, he must not be discovered by Gu Nian!

Holding this thought, Lin Sui quickly finished eating, not giving Gu Nian a chance to ask more questions. He went upstairs to pack his schoolbag with a “swoosh,” and then ran to the entrance hall with another “swoosh.” After waving goodbye to Gu Nian in a decent manner, he couldn’t wait to open the door and run out as if a ghost was chasing him. The speed was so fast that Gu Nian even suspected that he wanted to run away with the money.

Lin Sui ran a long way in one breath and slowly stopped after he couldn’t see the villa when he looked back. He took out his mobile phone and contacted the Benz driver.

The place was not far from Lin Sui’s school, and the Benz arrived smoothly in twenty minutes.

Lin Sui gave the money and hurried into the school gate. His eyes darted around in the crowd, and he selected a lucky person to ask for directions.

It happened to be the time for freshmen to enroll, and Lin Sui looked young, looking like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. The person who was asked for directions thought he was a freshman, and enthusiastically told him the way, and then took out his mobile phone to add WeChat and said that he could contact him if he had any questions.

Lin Sui had never really gone to college, so he didn’t know the meaning behind giving contact information. He only felt that this person was really enthusiastic and even cared about what he would do in the future. He was very happy to add WeChat friends, and waved goodbye earnestly before leaving.

The classmate who was asked for directions watched his back and silently covered his heart, his mind full of how cute he was.

Lin Sui skipped and jumped to the counselor’s door, and the joy of meeting a good person gradually faded. He stared at the brown wooden door in front of him, his hands couldn’t be pulled out like they were growing in his pockets. He procrastinated for a long time and couldn’t muster up the courage.

The counselor’s tone was so fierce when she called. Lin Sui, who had never been scolded before, was as timid as a quail.

“What are you doing? If you have something, go in and wait, otherwise others will think I’m punishing you.” Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from the side. Lin Sui’s body stiffened, and he almost instantly recognized who was speaking.

Lin Sui took a step to the side like a puppet, his docile face drooping with shame, and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

The counselor’s tightly frowned brows hadn’t relaxed yet, and she showed a ghostly expression, her expression management out of control for a while. She couldn’t help but exaggeratedly tap her ears, “What did you just say? Are you apologizing to me?”

Lin Sui honestly nodded, “I’m sorry, I made you worry. I shouldn’t have delayed the leave and caused you trouble.”

The counselor was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth. She held back for a long time and said, “You weren’t possessed by someone, were you?”

Lin Sui was shocked, and heard the counselor continue to mutter, “Otherwise, how could you suddenly become so… well-behaved? Or did you take the wrong medicine?”

She nodded, and said to herself, “Sure enough, it’s more likely that you took the wrong medicine.”

Lin Sui: …

Although he was very happy that he was not discovered to be possessed, how bad was the original owner’s image? He just apologized!

Lin Sui reminded helplessly, “I’m here to return the leave slip.”

The counselor finally remembered the business and quickly opened the door to let Lin Sui in.

The steps to report the leave were a bit cumbersome, and under normal circumstances, it could make college students scold the school for being sick, but in Lin Sui’s case, the counselor was afraid that he would show his true colors again and make trouble, so she neatly completed the formalities and signaled Lin Sui to leave.

Lin Sui didn’t know the real situation and thought that this was how universities were, so he said goodbye and pushed the door out.

The counselor looked at his back with a complicated expression, and opened her mouth the moment the other party pushed open the door, “The make-up exam is not difficult, it’s not difficult to pass if you review well.”

Lin Sui was stunned, then turned his head to look at the counselor, a grateful smile blooming on his docile and pure face.

“Thank you.”

After saying this, Lin Sui closed the door and left.

In the room behind him, the counselor squeezed the water-based pen with a blank expression, and slowly covered her mouth with the other hand to prevent herself from screaming on the spot.

Her mind was in a mess, and only one thought was particularly clear.

——Lin Sui is so damn good-looking!

At this moment, she suddenly felt that what was garbage personality? This face is everything truth!

Lin Sui found the studio through the WeChat of the classmate he had just added. He stayed inside for ten minutes before finding the homework drawn by the original owner next to the trash can. Taking off the white cloth and taking a look, unsurprisingly, his heart turned cold.

Even he, a layman, could see how perfunctory this painting was. If it were handed over to the teacher, it would probably be thrown directly into the trash can.

Lin Sui frowned and wanted to cover the white cloth back, but suddenly someone he didn’t know where he came from snatched it away. Moving his line of sight up along that arm, he saw a malicious face.

“Oh, who is it? Isn’t this Young Master Lin? Why did you suddenly remember to do your homework?” The man who snatched the thing sarcastically ridiculed.
