Background / History
Cheng Jinshuang attends A University, described as the best university in City A. At her introduction, she is a senior in the same year as Lin Xiawan and Lin Tingyue, although they study different majors. She is known for her excellent grades 5.
Interpreting Competition
Lin Shengyan returns from his work commitments to support her at an interpreting exhibition competition, bringing his two younger sisters. Cheng Jinshuang greets him, but crowds prevent them from speaking before the event begins. She wins the championship and receives 5,000 yuan and a red certificate of honor 5.
During the event, Lin Tingyue’s audible thoughts expose the romantic entanglements of the men surrounding her. After learning that one senior has a wife and child, Cheng Jinshuang discreetly distances herself from him. Following the awards ceremony, she politely refuses all the men’s lunch invitations and leaves, privately preferring the girl who revealed the truth to any of her pursuers 5 6.
Later Developments
Lin Tingyue later reveals through her thoughts that Cheng Jinshuang is dating someone. The revelation upsets Lin Shengyan immediately after he declares that she is a “closed chapter” in his life; her partner is not identified in the passage 77.
She remains a recurring subject of teasing within the Lin family. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, Lin Shengyan privately reveals that he has habitually confessed to her on April Fools’ Day instead 144.

Personality
