Ask her in private

After a few seconds of silence, before Shi Yan could speak, Ren Kexin spoke first, ” “forget it. even if there’s a problem, i won’t be able to understand it. We’ll stay in the hotel for the night, and I’ll call my high school classmates to go somewhere else tomorrow morning. I won’t be with Dou Chao and the others.”

she couldn’t understand, but after being together for so long, she had a rough idea of what kind of people shi yan and jiang rui were.

shi yan and jiang rui’s troubles were not something she could get involved in. the only thing she could do was to take care of herself and not drag them down.

since there might be something wrong with dou chao’s group, she would not continue to form a group with them.

“If you’re interested, then don’t deny it so early, in case you go back to school and complain that you’re the only single dog.” shi yan said with a smile.

Ren Kexin looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Did Shi Yan mean that even if there was something wrong with Yingluo, the possibility of it being related to Dou Chao was not high? in other words, the person with the problem wasn’t dou chao?

she couldn’t help but want to confirm,”shi yan, you mean wanwan?”

shi yan didn’t intend to explain further. she just smiled and said,”It’s only been half a year since your four years in University. You’ll have a lot of opportunities to spend time with each other in the future. It’s almost the new year, so it’s better for you to go home early. That way, uncle and aunty won’t miss you at home.”

ren kexin immediately understood.

Regardless of whether Dou Chao had a problem or not, she had better not continue to form groups with these people and go home as soon as possible.

“Okay, I’ll book a ticket home when we get back to the hotel tonight. it’s just that shi yan, if dou chaowan ”

It suddenly stopped.

She didn’t seem to be in a position to ask Shi Yan to help protect Dou Chao, who she wasn’t very familiar with. If Dou Zhao was her boyfriend now, she could still be thick-skinned and ask Shi Yan for help. But now, she was not even friends with Dou Zhao.

however, shi yan seemed to have seen through her thoughts and said with a faint smile,”as a friend, if that student dou chao is really a good match for you, i will help you look after him. After all, you’re the only single person in the dormitory, so we can’t bear to see you like this.”

Shi Yan could even joke.

ren kexin was relieved, but at the same time, she burst out laughing, ” alright, then I’ll try my best to get out of singlehood when the semester starts. I won’t be a burden to you guys anymore!

” i’ll help you put away the herbs and sickles. go wash your hands. rui ‘er, accompany shi yan to wash your hands. ” there was a stream not far away, where they had just washed their hands.

Looking at Ren Kexin running away with the herbs and sickle, Jiang Rui raised her eyebrows, ” Kexin is so transparent. She even gave us some space to talk alone.

shi yan didn’t comment.

“Let’s go. Accompany me to wash my hands.”

Jiang Rui caught up with her. Yan, do you think that if there’s something wrong with these people, it won’t be that girl named Xu Yue and her boyfriend, Liu Qi. It won’t be Dou Chao either? ”

“i can’t make a conclusion yet.”

“then what do you think? a pre-emptive probe? or should we wait for the other party to be exposed?”

before the new year, I set a time for myself and your fifth uncle to go on a vacation in peace. Nothing else is more important than this.

Jiang Rui understood.

“you’re right. don’t let these insignificant people affect your holiday mood. But if there’s really something, Yan, you can’t hide it from me. Ask my brother to come along, we can still help out a little.”

The two washed their hands and were about to go back when they met Gu Tan and Dou Chao.

“Shi Yan, Jiang.” Gu Tan greeted first.

Shi Yan nodded. Jiang Rui smiled. you’re here to wash your hands too? ”

“Yes.”

“it’s a little slippery down here. you guys take your time. yan and i will go back first.”

“thank you,” he said. dou chao was the one who said thank you.

Shi Yan glanced at him.

dou chao’s face was expressionless, and one really couldn’t see anything from his face. normally, there were not many people in their twenties who could hide their emotions like this.

“Shi Yan!”

just as he was about to walk back, shi yan was stopped.

He walked to the ancient pool by the stream and stepped on the stones. He looked up at her and said, ” I want to try to apply for a master’s degree next semester. I have some questions in this area that I want to ask you. I wonder if it’s convenient? ”

He scratched his head and laughed in embarrassment.”Actually, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to ask you for advice for a long time. I’m really embarrassed to disturb you, so I’ll just take a sip.”

“It won’t take too long, just a few minutes.”

Shi Yan’s eyes were fixed on his face for two seconds, and she said to Jiang Rui,”rui ‘er, you can go back first.”

Jiang Rui was a little hesitant, so Shi Yan continued, ” “tell your fifth uncle that i’ll be back in a few minutes.”

” alright, i’ll go over first. although the sun in winter is not too hot, the ultraviolet rays in wu county are very serious. don’t stay in the sun for too long and come back soon. ”

the two of them washed their hands by the stream while shi yan stood there waiting.

he quickly washed his hands and returned.

“dou chao, don’t wait for me. go back first. i’ll go back after asking shi yan a few questions.”

“it’s fine. i’ll wait for you. I ate a little too much just now, so I’ll stand and digest for a while. You guys can talk, I won’t disturb you. Go over there to make a phone call, and just call me after you’re done.”

From what Shi Yan could see, after Dou Chao said this, Gu Tan seemed to stare at him. dou zhao didn’t look at him and walked to the side while dialing.

He left Shi Yan and Gu Tan alone.

“What is student Gu not clear about?”

I heard that in order to apply for a master’s degree, in addition to being in the top three in the Institute, you also need to score full marks in two-thirds of the subjects. In addition, you also need to publish a few papers in the relevant authoritative journals? ”

“These are the conditions for my application for a master’s degree. If student Gu is only applying for a master’s degree, he shouldn’t need these conditions. i’m not sure about the details. you can ask the teacher in charge of this at the school.”

“okay. thank you, shi yan.”

gu tan laughed in embarrassment, ” actually, ran ran, what i wanted to ask is, if you want to apply for a master’s degree, do you have to find a teacher like you and have the other person take care of your homework? ”

“I don’t think so, but it’s much easier to have a trustworthy teacher to guide you. if student gu has a teacher you want to acknowledge, you can try.”

“I understand. Thank you, Shi Yan.”

Shi Yan nodded and was about to leave when Gu Tan spoke again,”i just heard them say that student shi yan went to high school here? Have you been living in Wu County for a long time?”

Shi Yan looked at him indifferently and did not respond.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to ask about you. I’m just a little curious. If it’s not convenient for me to tell you, you can just ignore me.” Thank you for waiting to answer my questions. Your friend must be anxious. Let’s go back first.”

she was about to call for dou zhao, who was on the phone, when shi yan said,”i did study here in high school, and i did live in wu county for many years.”

The corners of Shi Yan’s lips curled up slightly, with a faint smile.

There seemed to be something else hidden in this smile, which was a little incomprehensible.

Gu Tan was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,”then, did student Shi Yan come here often in the past?” you seem to be very familiar with these mountains.”
