Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: How Could It Be Missing?

"Okay."

Since Lu Xinyue had asked to come along, Shen Nian naturally wouldn’t refuse. Besides, she wasn’t doing anything today that needed to be kept secret.

The two sisters-in-law quickly left the house and went to the post office to mail the package. She figured Lu Cheng would receive it in a few days.

’I wonder if Lu Cheng will be done with his work by then.’

"Sister-in-law, what are your plans now?"

On the way to the school, Lu Xinyue glanced at Shen Nian and struck up a casual conversation.

Lu Xinyue knew Shen Nian had just graduated from high school, but she didn’t know much about her academic performance. And she certainly wasn’t sure how confident Shen Nian was in her ability to get into college.

"Next? I want to go to college!"

"College! But..."

Hearing the word "college," Lu Xinyue’s eyes lit up, clearly showing her own anticipation for it. But after that initial excitement, her tone dropped.

"Hm?"

"If you go to college, Sister-in-law... what about my brother?"

’College takes four years. My brother is already eight years older than Shen Nian; he’s twenty-six now. If he has to wait another four years, he’ll be thirty!’

’The crucial thing is the nature of my brother’s work. He’s either training at the company or out on a mission. If Shen Nian is away at school, she’ll meet all sorts of people! It’s not that I’m trying to be suspicious of Shen Nian... I’m just... worried about my brother.’

’That’s right, I’m worried about my brother!’

"Your brother? What, are you worried I’ll go off to college and dump him?"

Shen Nian couldn’t help but laugh at the conflicted look on Lu Xinyue’s face.

"I..."

Lu Xinyue was shocked that Shen Nian had said it so directly. Seeing her smile, she felt completely seen through.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already thought it through. I’ll go to college in B City. Your brother’s company is in B City, so that’s the perfect solution, isn’t it?"

"A college in B City!"

Lu Xinyue had to admit, what Shen Nian just said was indeed the perfect solution. But she also knew that getting into a college in B City was no easy feat. Even the less prestigious ones had high score requirements.

Of course, what Lu Xinyue couldn’t possibly imagine at that moment was that Shen Nian’s target was the best university in B City.

"Sister-in-law, can you get into a college in B City?"

’Are her grades really that good?’

"We’ll see if I can get in or not once we see the scores in a little bit! But don’t tell your brother about this just yet. I want it to be a surprise!"

’Shen Nian wasn’t worried about getting in at all. After all, in her previous life, she had received an acceptance letter straight from B University!’

"Okay, I won’t say anything."

’Thinking of how much my brother likes Shen Nian,’ Lu Xinyue mused, ’I bet he’ll be thrilled when he finds out about her plan!’

Shen Nian’s high school was in the county seat. Fortunately, Shuanghe Town wasn’t too far away, so it didn’t take them long to get to the school.

"Xiangnan, what are you doing here?"

Just as they reached the school gate, Shen Nian spotted Shen Xiangnan standing nearby. She lit up and pulled Lu Xinyue forward.

"Sis, I came here just to wait for you. I heard your scores were coming out today, so I came to check your college entrance exam results with you. Mom, Dad, and our big brother are all waiting for me to bring home the good news!"

Shen Xiangnan was happy to see Shen Nian, too. Ever since that day, his opinion of his sister had soared.

"Sure, let’s go in together! Oh, right, this is Lu Xinyue. She’s your brother-in-law’s younger sister. Xinyue, this is my younger brother, Shen Xiangnan. You’re both the same age, so you’ll be starting high school together next year. Now you’ll have some company!"

"Hello."

"Hello."

Shen Xiangnan and Lu Xinyue greeted each other. Lu Xinyue looked at Shen Xiangnan. ’He’s clearly my age, so how is he so tall?’

Shen Xiangnan, on the other hand, only glanced at Lu Xinyue before looking away. "Sis, let’s hurry inside."

"Okay, let’s go!"

The three of them quickly arrived at the place where the college entrance exam results were being handed out. However, after Shen Nian gave her name and exam ID number, the response she received was completely unexpected.

"What? You don’t have my score report? How is that possible?"

Shen Nian’s brows knitted tightly as she stared at the staff member. ’How could they not have my score report? Without a score report, how did I get my acceptance letter from B University? Nothing like this happened in my previous life!’
