Chapter 744: Chapter 743: No One Can Escape the True Fragrance Law Chapter 744: Chapter 743: No One Can Escape the True Fragrance Law Even now, the nickname “Dean Kang the Big Pigeon” is frequently ridiculed by Beijing University students.

Meanwhile, the students at Qing University express their sympathy by calling him: Truly Misplaced Devotion.

“If I ever encounter that student, I’ll beat them up every time I see them!”

Geng Yuxiang burst into laughter, “Alright, alright, don’t be angry. Haven’t we specifically provided you with an equally excellent student this year? You have to seize this opportunity!”

“Of course!”

Before her afternoon classes, Lu Mian took her competition certificate and went to find Sui Yuan at the senior year section of Kunpeng High School.

Classes hadn’t started yet, and the two of them chatted in the corridor outside.

Lu Mian held her report card between two fingers and asked with a smile, “Yuanyuan, I’ve done it. What about you? You said you’d agree to one condition of mine.”

Sui Yuan already knew her grades and was aware she would definitely be recommended for admission.

She had also vaguely guessed what Lu Mian was going to say, so…

Sui Yuan gave a slight nod, holding Lu Mian’s report card as if it were a treasure.

Their Mianmian, outstanding!

Lu Mian gently stroked her hair, not darting away as she had in the past, but instead lingering on Sui Yuan’s soft locks, and softly said, “Grow your hair out, Yuanyuan.”

This was Lu Mian’s condition, to pass the physics competition, secure a recommended admission spot, all the effort for just this one request.

Sui Yuan bit her lip and hung her head.

Actually, she had started to grow it out already, after sensing Lu Mian’s intentions; her hair had gotten longer, and she hadn’t cut it.

Seeing Sui Yuan silent, Lu Mian felt somewhat at a loss and withdrew her hand, grabbing at her own shawl-length hair, “I’ll do it with you, okay?”

Sui Yuan laughed, lifting her face with a satisfied smile, “Okay.”

“You…” Lu Mian pursed her lips and pulled out the report card, playfully smacking it against Sui Yuan’s forehead, “You’re tricking me, aren’t you?”

Sui Yuan giggled, “Then when I get back, can I open the gift you gave me?”

“Ah, go ahead. I bought it a long time ago.”

“Okay.”

The two chatted and laughed in the corridor when Jiang Yingyue returned from the restroom and just happened to pass by them.

Perhaps it was Sui Yuan and Lu Mian’s bright smiles that cast a shadow over Jiang Yingyue’s expression, prompting a heavy snort as she quickly returned to her class.

Back at her seat, Jiang Yingyue’s deskmate asked her.

“Yingyue, what’s wrong?”

“Some people, they’re showing off right at the door of our classroom,” Jiang Yingyue said with sarcasm.

Her deskmate, not understanding what had happened, glanced towards the classroom door, saw Lu Mian, and shook his head, “It’s probably not showing off; she just came to see Sui Yuan.”

“Isn’t it enough that everyone already knows? Do they need to flaunt their certificates and report cards right at our classroom door? What more does she want?”

With the pressure of the final year high, and the sensitivity of the students heightened, her deskmate knew that Jiang Yingyue was upset and dared not speak anymore.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yingyue was the top student of their class and of the entire grade. To maintain her rank, she certainly worked much harder and was under greater stress than others.

Especially because she had underperformed in the recent exemption exam, the opportunity had gone to someone else.

As an outstanding student, Jiang Yingyue could only look to the regular college entrance examinations to apply for universities, thus placing even more pressure on herself.

The words “recommended admission” were a sore spot for Jiang Yingyue.

Outside in the hall, Lu Mian, unaware of the situation, squinted towards Classroom One.

She wasn’t concerned for herself, but she worried that, given Yuanyuan’s personality, she might get taken advantage of or bullied.

Sui Yuan shook her head, trying to calm her, “Mianmian, don’t be mad, okay? She’s just under a lot of pressure. Just ignore her.”

“Hmm,” Lu Mian said indifferently, “just don’t let yourself be mistreated.”

“I know!” Sui Yuan changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on the unhappy stuff. Suddenly, she had a fun thought and asked Lu Mian with twinkling eyes, “Mianmian, are you really going on ‘Extreme Brain’? That’s the rumor going around…”

The very program the principal mentioned?

Lu Mian was sure to say no, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Sui Yuan clasp her hands together and look at her with such bright, hopeful eyes.

“Mianmian, with your abilities, you could totally beat them all! I’m so busy with my senior year studies, but I’ll make sure to watch the program on time and cheer you on! And whenever I feel tired of studying, I’ll replay it and watch you, and I’ll be full of motivation again!”

Lu Mian: …

“Mianmian, what are you thinking?” Sui Yuan nudged her, noticing that Lu Mian was silent.

Lu Mian snapped out of it and gave Sui Yuan’s head a rub, “I just remembered, I still have something to do. I’ve got to go first.”

Lu Mian hurriedly said goodbye to Sui Yuan.

Sui Yuan watched her leave, sticking out her little tongue.

Mianmian, if you don’t have any specific goals, then I’ll help you find one…

After leaving the senior year building of Kunpeng High School, Lu Mian immediately called Principal Zhang.

“Lu Mian, have you changed your mind? Decided on the physics department at Qing University?”

“No,” Lu Mian coughed lightly, sounding somewhat embarrassed, “About that ‘Extreme Brain’ show, how do I participate?”

Principal Zhang looked puzzled at his phone, making sure it was really Lu Mian calling him.

Didn’t she just firmly reject his offer over lunch?

“If you don’t want to go, don’t force yourself. I won’t put too much pressure on you,” Principal Zhang offered some comfort.

Lu Mian pinched the bridge of her nose, clearly resigned, “I’m doing this completely willingly.”

Principal Zhang’s eyes lit up, tsk.

No one can escape the law of ‘genuinely enticing’ after all.

“You don’t have to worry about a thing; I’ll handle it. As for the direct admission…”

Lu Mian, now that Sui Yuan had agreed to her condition, spoke even more carelessly, “Reject them all.”

Without the slightest hesitation.

“Lu Mian! You–”

But Lu Mian had already hung up the phone.

Principal Zhang stared at his phone, sighing deeply.

“Look, it’s no good,” he said, turning to Ding Cai sitting across from him.

The two of them were currently fretting over Lu Mian’s direct admission offer.

“How about we find someone to persuade her? It’s such a rare opportunity, and it’s a real shame if she doesn’t go. She could have the chance to go to university this year; does she really want to stay in high school for two more years, waiting for the senior year college entrance examination?” Principal Zhang said, “The main thing is, she’s not even studying diligently.”

After thinking for a while, Ding Cai suggested, “How about asking her cousin, Lu Xi, to talk to her?”

Principal Zhang was naturally aware of who Lu Xi was, a distinguished alumnus of Kunpeng High School. He often visited their family during the New Year to give festive greetings; they had never lost touch.

“Alright, I’ll contact him.”

However, before Principal Zhang could find Lu Xi’s phone number, he received a text message first.

Principal Zhang immediately braced himself for action.

Ding Cai asked cautiously, “Principal, what’s wrong?”
