Chapter 44: Diablo 41

After hearing this, Lu Yi said gently, “Don’t be afraid. If it’s really a misunderstanding, we’ll figure it out eventually. It’s getting late. Go back first.”

Hearing this, Yun Nuan could only nod tearfully.

But inwardly, she was filled with regret.

If she had known Tang Wan was so ruthless that she’d hire a hundred bodyguards the moment she arrived here, she never would’ve hired those thugs in the first place!

Still, she had deliberately worn oversized sunglasses to cover half her face and even changed her clothes. Even if those people identified her, as long as she insisted she was innocent, she should be able to clear suspicion… right?

Unfortunately, she had forgotten one thing.

She paid them in cash.

And the cash already had her fingerprints on it.

…

After returning to the hotel, Tang Wan finally let out a sigh of relief before collapsing onto the sofa.

“Thankfully I saw the news saying there was a murderer who escaped nearby, so I hired bodyguards in advance. Otherwise, the two of us really would’ve become a pair of doomed siblings tonight,” Tang Wan said emotionally.

Tang Yitong silently squeezed her hand, then poured her a cup of hot water.

“Drink some water and calm down. When we go back, I’m going to learn martial arts.”

And this time, he absolutely had to learn seriously.

Tang Wan immediately smiled after hearing this.

“Okay. I’ll hire a coach for you after we return. Just don’t overwork yourself.”

“No,” Tang Yitong said firmly.

He never wanted to experience something like tonight again.

And he definitely never wanted to stand there helplessly while her life was in danger.

…

After such an exhausting night, both of them were tired.

They stayed in the living room for a while before finally returning to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, Tang Wan was already fully revived and energetic again. Together with Tang Yitong and the bodyguards, she happily continued sightseeing.

Meanwhile, Lu Rongrong and the others had already booked tickets for the afternoon and were preparing to leave.

Tang Wan was more than happy about that.

The farther away those two broom stars stayed from her, the better.

…

After playing happily for another week, Tang Wan finally returned home with Tang Yitong.

They rested for two days before school started again.

When Yun Nuan saw Tang Wan this time, her gaze obviously dodged guiltily.

Tang Wan couldn’t even be bothered to care anymore.

She sincerely hoped the male and female leads would stay as far away from her as possible.

Besides, the college entrance exams were only half a year away. Once she and Tongtong applied to universities far away from the protagonists, they naturally wouldn’t have much contact anymore.

The next six months passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was finally time for the college entrance examinations.

…

Tang Wan had never actually taken the college entrance exam in her original world, so this time, she approached it very seriously.

The two-day exam period passed in a flash.

After the exams ended, Tang Wan looked at Tang Yitong and said, “Tongtong, it’ll still take a while before the results come out. Why don’t we go travel somewhere and relax?”

“Okay,” Tang Yitong agreed immediately.

After asking where she wanted to go, he quickly began making plans and arranging everything properly.

However, before the two could even return from their trip, Tang Yitong received a call informing him of his results.

He had become the provincial top scorer.

Full marks in mathematics, English, and science comprehensive.

When the school received the results, everyone was stunned.

Their academy focused on all-around elite education rather than exam-oriented teaching like ordinary schools. Moreover, Tang Yitong had usually ranked only around the middle of Class A.

No one expected him to suddenly become the provincial top scorer.

Tang Yitong himself remained expressionless.

Wasn’t Lu Yi just the city’s top scorer before?

What was so impressive about that?

Now he had become the provincial champion.

…

Meanwhile, Tang Wan was beyond excited after hearing the news.

She stared at Tang Yitong in astonishment, feeling an indescribable sense of pride, like watching a child she had personally raised finally grow up.

His terrifying IQ was finally being shown openly now.

And honestly?

She couldn’t help feeling a little proud.
