Carried to Victory! I Am the One Carried to Victory!

Lin Yilin didn't touch him for long before she pulled her hand back in a rush, her face flushed red, not even daring to glance at Jiang Linyuan.

Pulling away and acting like a stranger, what a heartbreaker!

She said she was covering his chest, but she had really just rested her hand on it.

Compared to Su Muzhi's Dragon Claw Hand, it was like comparing a king to a pawn.

Jiang Linyuan chose to let her have some quiet time and decided to go watch the circus.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he heard Yu Songsong and Zhao Tongyu arguing.

"If you keep acting like this, I can't be your partner."

Yu Songsong tossed the script in her hand aside impatiently, frowning as she looked at Zhao Tongyu.

Zhao Tongyu took a deep breath and forced a reluctant smile:

"If you think there's a problem with me, I can change. We still have a long time to prepare, don't we?"

Yu Songsong pointed at the script without a hint of politeness:

"For these lines, you either can't keep up or you remember them wrong. How am I supposed to partner with you?"

Zhao Tongyu bit his lip and said:

"Didn't you say you would be the one to say these lines?"

"But I can't remember them! As my partner, shouldn't you be able to cover for me?"

Yu Songsong retorted.

Zhao Tongyu froze for a moment, then gave an ugly smile:

"Right, it's my fault. I'll memorize them right away."

Brother Zhao, did you run away from the set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

If you had shown even half the backbone you show me toward Yu Songsong, I would have told Batman to go easy on you when you return to Gotham.

Yu Songsong rolled her eyes, speechless.

She had been picking a fight on purpose, hoping to make Zhao Tongyu give up so she could find someone else to partner with.

She hadn't expected him to be this spineless.

Her impression of him had only worsened.

Yu Songsong couldn't take it anymore and said bluntly:

"I don't want to partner with you. Can you just quit?"

Zhao Tongyu's breath hitched.

Pain! Such pain!

But then he thought, if he just gave in to Yu Songsong's wishes, maybe he could improve his image in her eyes a little.

So he looked at Yu Songsong with a look of deep affection:

"If that's what you want, I can do it, but..."

"Really? Then go tell the department head to switch someone else in."

Yu Songsong said, clearly excited.

Seeing her agree so quickly and with such excitement, Zhao Tongyu felt both sorrow and joy.

The sorrow was that Yu Songsong wanted him gone so badly.

The joy was that if he left, Yu Songsong would be happy.

At the end of the clown's path, who stands at the peak? One look at Tongyu, and the path turns to void.

Zhao Tongyu took one last lingering look at Yu Songsong and said:

"Then I'll go talk to the department head."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"

Yu Songsong nodded perfunctorily.

Finally, she had driven this guy away.

Having watched a free circus show, Jiang Linyuan was amused and walked over to ask:

"Did you get what you wanted, junior?"

"Oh, it's senior Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Linyuan approach, Yu Songsong's eyes lit up, then she said with a look of feigned concern:

"I'm just worried that whoever replaces him will be even worse."

As she spoke, she cast a subtle, suggestive glance at Jiang Linyuan.

Clearly, she wanted to partner with Jiang Linyuan.

"Haha, no way."

Jiang Linyuan laughed heartily.

Now that it had been verified that she wasn't an alchemist, what was there to fear?

I have to thank Junior Zhao for delivering this opportunity.

You're the MVP this round, and I'm just a passenger getting carried!

Junior Zhao quickly gave up on the male host position, and Zhang Shuo asked around once more.

No one responded.

"Then you do it, no problem, right?"

Helpless, Zhang Shuo looked toward Jiang Linyuan.

I said it plainly, yet you still didn't get it.

Jiang Linyuan nodded, feeling very satisfied; the B-rank card reward was within reach.

Yu Songsong was also very satisfied, her laughter causing her figure to ripple.

Junior Zhao stood stunned, staring blankly at the scene before him.

While his mind was tearing apart, a strange feeling also began to grow.

Damn it, there's a cow! There's a cow!

Jiang Linyuan happily went to a corner with Yu Songsong to go over the script, leaving Junior Zhao with a complex mix of emotions.

It's not that I couldn't compete, I just didn't want to.

With things having reached this point, he could only console himself to feel a little better.

Jiang Linyuan and Yu Songsong began to go over the script.

Then, he realized that being a partner with Yu Songsong was no simple task.

Forgetting lines and changing words were just the basics; what was even more outrageous was her stealing his lines.

Fortunately, Jiang Linyuan was experienced, so handling it wasn't difficult.

If it had been anyone else, combined with Yu Songsong's overbearing personality, they would have definitely been completely suppressed.

"Senior, we have such great chemistry!"

After running through the script once, Yu Songsong exclaimed in surprise, then flashed a sweet smile:

"Let's call this a meeting of minds!"

Meeting of minds my foot, did you even put any heart into this script? And you call it a meeting of minds?

Even Bi Gan would have been more attentive than you!

Jiang Linyuan smiled and nodded, just about to speak, when his phone suddenly rang.

He took a look—oh, his sister was calling.

"Let me take this call."

Jiang Linyuan said to Yu Songsong, then walked out of the classroom with his phone.

The moment he pressed the answer button, Jiang Zhiyao's teeth-gritting voice rang out from the other end:

"You really can't stay idle for even a second, can you! What's this about a 'new sister-in-law candidate'! Explain yourself to me right now!"

"Mutual attraction between a man and a woman, it means exactly what it sounds like."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyao asked from the other end:

"Are you serious about dating her?"

"What kind of question is that! When have I ever not been serious!"

Jiang Linyuan retorted.

This brat Zhiyao, does she want to stage a Xuanwu Gate coup against me?

"Oh?"

Jiang Zhiyao's voice turned disdainful:

"Is this another Little Green Tea? Want me to help you test the waters?"

"She's a treasure of a girl, don't slander her."

After all, she is a B-rank card.

Jiang Zhiyao didn't believe his nonsense at all and asked bluntly:

"What do you want me to do?"

"Check her professional competence and test her learning ability."

"..."

What kind of learning ability? Learning ability to be a girlfriend or to be a green tea?

The conversation jumped too far, and it took a moment for Jiang Zhiyao to react:

"You mean you want me to help her with some pointers on her major courses?"

My sister! You're clueless!

What could the Saint of Thieves possibly need your pointers on? Pointers on how to be flat-chested?

"It's not pointers, it's an assessment. Just to see what her attitude toward studying is like."

Jiang Linyuan said earnestly.

"Huh?"

Jiang Zhiyao was completely confused, but she agreed anyway:

"Fine, but you have to tell me everything about this person clearly."

"It's too late today, we'll talk tomorrow."

Jiang Linyuan hung up the phone quickly and planned to walk back to the classroom.

But as he turned his head, he discovered a little thief girl with her ears pricked up, eavesdropping.

"Xiao Yilin, what are you doing?"

Jiang Linyuan patted Lin Yilin on the head.

"I came out to use the restroom, saw you standing here alone, senior, so I came over."

Lin Yilin's eyes darted around as she stammered.

A lie at first glance.

But Jiang Linyuan didn't mind, looking at her, he said:

"Xiao Yilin, stop stalking your senior all day long. If you're bored, just go eat some snacks."

"I am not stalking you all day long!"

Lin Yilin argued, lacking confidence, looking guilty as a thief.

Wait, don't tell me you've been peeking at my QQ status and Moments every time you have nothing to do.

After saying that, Lin Yilin asked again, feeling a bit uneasy:

"Senior, who were you on the phone with just now?"

Although she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, she had vaguely heard a girl's voice at the beginning.

Late at night, a man and a woman alone, a private conversation... something fishy is going on!

"Yo, Xiao Yilin, are you being a bit nosy?"

Jiang Linyuan laughed.

Hearing this, Lin Yilin felt incredibly aggrieved for some reason.

But then she thought, what right did she have to feel aggrieved?

Whether senior tells me or not is his freedom, and I have no right to ask him.

Thinking this, she felt even worse, a sour, stinging sensation gradually welling up in her heart.

"Forget it, we're all family, so I'll tell Xiao Yilin. I was talking to your sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law? I don't have a sister-in-law?"

Lin Yilin was still immersed in her own melancholy and didn't immediately grasp what Jiang Linyuan meant.

A moment later, a deep crimson flush spread from her earlobes down to her neck, and she stood rooted to the spot, motionless:

"If it's your sister, just say so! What 'all family', what 'sister-in-law'! You're talking nonsense!"

"If I didn't say it like that, someone might have been secretly wiping away tears."

"I... I would never do that!"

Lin Yilin remained stubborn, her face slightly flushed, head held high.

The starlight and moonlight were cold, yet they made people's hearts burn with heat.

If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has just been changed!
