Chapter 281, night activities

Author: Qian Feifei Machine Translation

Jiang Li had no idea what his father was planning for him. He was busy chatting with Qian Anzhi while his father was making arrangements with Teacher Li. Meanwhile, Qian Anzhi was in deep thought. If he had to choose again, he still wouldn't go back to training with Teacher Li. The thought scared him.

Mu Ziyu was also busy talking to Shuishui. They were already making plans for their trip. After Shuishui had finalized her papers for university, she and Ziyu could decide on when to go.

The next day, Jiang Yuan sent the children to school. He accompanied Shuishui to the Dean of Education to settle to explain the matter briefly. When the dean heard it, he was a little surprised. They had already received the notice, but there was no one named Qian Shuishui in their roster of third year students. Instead, her name appeared in the list of second year students. They thought it was simply a mistake. They didn't think it was true.

"Qian Shuishui, we don't actually encourage our students to take the college entrance exam in advance, but your results prove that you are capable. We were really speechless. You ended up being the top scorer. Our school administration is very happy because this is the first time that the school has produced a top scorer. Considering your situation, you can go straight to university. However, it's still better to meet with the principal. Please wait here for a moment." The dean walked out with his phone and called the principal. He asked the principal if he was in school and if he had time to meet with Shuishui and her guardian.

He felt that the principal would be there because all the Grade 12 students were in school to claim their report cards. The dean waited for the principal's advice.

Jiang Yuan and Shuishui were waiting in the office. Jiang Yuan looked around and took the initiative to say something. "Shuishui, tomorrow is Friday. I will hold a celebration for you tonight. What do you think?"

"Sure. I don't care." Shuishui didn't really care about celebrations.

"The college entrance exam is a once-in-a-lifetime exam. The fact that you passed it is worth celebrating. If your father were awake now, he would have planned a huge celebration for it. Since he can't, let me do it. I am very proud to announce that my goddaughter topped the exam and is the top scorer in science. My friends have been showing off because their children passed the exam. They had average results, but they would rub it in my face every day. I can't wait to tell them my goddaughter topped the exam." The thought of holding a grand celebration had already crossed Jiang Yuan's mind when he heard the news that Shuishui passed the exam with flying colors.

His friends have also been inviting him to various celebration held in honor of their children who passed that same exam. Jiang Yuan proudly told them that he would also be celebrating and even suggested that they all celebrate together.

Jiang Yuan felt very proud and was eager to show off.

Shuishui felt embarrassed. She felt like Uncle Jiang was being childish. Shuishui shrugged and said, "It's up to you. As long as you're happy."

Jiang Yuan laughed loudly. "Okay, okay, okay. Tomorrow night, we will celebrate."

Shuishui blinked. She couldn't understand why they were making such a fuss out of it. After a while, the dean returned. He said, "The principal is in his office. We can go to his office now. Miss Qian, have you considered which university to go to?"

"Beijing University of Science and Technology," Shuishui answered in a stiff tone. It was clear that she only had this particular university in mind.

"That is a very good university. It is known for its competitive environment. Moreover, it has produced quite a number of high achievers. We hope that you can bring glory to the school. This is the first time a student of this school has topped the exam. Once news of your achievement spreads, more students will flock to this school," the dean said. She made it clear that Shuishui has brought glory to the school.

They stood up and went to the principal's office with the dean to meet with the principal. The principal was very happy and had so many suggestions for Shuishui. He praised Shuishui and Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan was in a very happy mood. Although he did not do anything or contribute to Shuishui's education, he felt very proud of her. He witnessed her growth and how she had matured in the past year. He felt like his family had a daughter whom they could truly be proud of.

Jiang Yuan was flattered that the principal praised him as well. He was elated. "Principal, this child has always been very sensible. I actually did not know that she was going to take the college entrance examination. I only found out that she did take the exam when the results came out. We really didn't know anything. When we heard she was the top scorer in science, we were surprised. I was actually shocked too."

The principal smiled and said, "Indeed. This is the first time our school has been recognized for it. I didn't expect that it would be a sophomore. I was a little surprised." He was the newly appointed principal, and he was very proud that the whole affair happened after he was installed as the principal. Although Shuishui's achievement was not really to his credit, he was still very proud because the top scorer was from his school. Lingcheng High School would be part of Shuishui's record from then on. It would be stated in her resume, and her future university classmates would hear about their school as well. The principal felt gratified.

"Qian Shuishui, in a few days, you will be invited to come back to school to receive a reward. I had it facilitated for you. It's not a big amount, but it's still a small token from the school. Anyway, since you have already qualified to go straight to university, there will be no need for you to continue studying in high school. The dean will help you handle your papers. You will also be issued a high school graduation certificate. You will be able to use that certificate in processing your university admission papers. I hope that next semester, you can deliver a speech to the student body. You can impart your experiences and inspire other students," the principal said. The principal felt that Shuishui had unique learning methods. It reflected in her determination to take and pass the college entrance examination.

"Shuishui, you can agree. Actually, it won't take much time. Not only will you be able to share your experiences, you will also be able to inspire other students to study well," Uncle Jiang said. He felt that it would also make Shuishui more courageous.

Jiang Yuan had no idea that Shuishui was used to delivering speeches. It was nothing new to her.

"No problem," Shuishui said.

The principal smiled faintly. "You can go and inform your classmates, your form teacher, and the others. We will contact you by phone. You can just come to the school directly."

Shuishui said, "Principal, can you give me a bit of time off? I promised my friend I would go sightseeing with him for a few days. I want to avoid the peak travel period." After all her hard work, Shuishui wanted to go and have fun first.

"That's okay. Your guardian can claim your reward for you," the principal said. He felt that there wasn't a big problem with that. Shuishui didn't have to personally receive the token.

Shuishui nodded. That was good.

Jiang Yuan did not mind. "I can come back to the school in your behalf. You worked hard, so you should go and have fun. Travel well and experience the scenery of the motherland."

He also knew that traveling would broaden Shuishui's experience and outlook of the world. It was normal for couples to travel together. However, there was one line that Shuishui could not cross. He felt that he could tell Shuishui when they got in the car.

The principal wanted Shuishui to stay for lunch as it would be her last meal in school.

Shuishui politely refused. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay in school. Mu Ziyu had invited her to visit his office and have lunch with him.

When they finished discussing everything about Shuishui's transfer to university, Jiang Yuan and Shuishui thanked the principal and took their leave.

Shuishui went to her classroom and said goodbye to her classmates. She told them the news that she had been admitted to university. Her classmates couldn't believe it, but they all sincerely wished her well.

She visited her teacher and said her goodbyes, and they left.

As soon as they got into the car, Jiang Yuan asked, "Where are you going next?"

"I'm going to Ziyu's office. He asked me to go there. Uncle, can you send me there?" Shuishui asked.

Jiang Yuan nodded and drove out of the school parking lot.

Jiang Yuan then said, "Oh, right. Shuishui, you're still young, and you are in a relationship. As your guardian, I advise you to not be intimate with him."

Shuishui couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry. We won't engage in that. Before I become an *****, I won't go any further with him."

Shuishui knew her limits when it came to such things. She knew that her body hadn't fully developed yet because she hadn't reached eighteen. It wouldn't be good for her. Moreover, she was not the kind of person who would easily hand over her body.

Although Mu Ziyu liked to get physical sometimes, he had always been very respectful with Shuishui. He would not force her to engage in things she wouldn't be comfortable with. Mu Ziyu knew very well that such premature behavior would not be of any benefit to her. If he were an ordinary man, he would have forced Shuishui already. However, after exclusively dating for a year, and being the brother of Shuishui's best friend, Mu Ziyu was a trustworthy person for Shuishui.

Jiang Yuan nodded. "It's good that you know. I know you've learned self-defense techniques and have the ability to protect yourself, but you still have to be careful."

"I know, Uncle Jiang. I'll leave tomorrow night for your celebration. Ziyu and I can leave the day after tomorrow." Uncle Jiang was determined to hold a celebration in honor of Shuishui's achievement.

Jiang Yuan dropped her off at the building where Mu Ziyu's company was. Mu Ziyu's office was on the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth floors of the enterprise building. Shuishui didn't really know a lot about Ziyu's business. After all, he was the one who started his business.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Yuan, Shuishui entered the building and called Mu Ziyu. "Ziyu, I'm already here. Where do I go now?"

"Go straight to the elevator and go up to the fifteenth floor. When you get off the elevator, you'll see a reception desk. I'll walk over there now and wait for you there." Mu Ziyu smiled. He was happy that she arrived on time.

"Okay. Please wait for me. I just entered the elevator now." When she entered the elevator, her phone's signal reception became poor. Her call with Ziyu automatically ended.

When she arrived on the fifteenth floor, Mu Ziyu was there waiting for her near the reception desk. She walked over and said, "It looks and feels so different here."

"Yeah. Our company mainly makes all kinds of graphic designs. Come to my office. I bought you food," he said as he held Shuishui's hand. They walked into the office together. He wanted to let everyone know that he had a girlfriend to stop other women from pestering him.

No one has ever seen Mu Ziyu with a girlfriend, so they never really believed he actually had a girlfriend. They thought he simply said that to avoid trouble. The other younger employees saw him with Shuishui and asked, "Is that CEO Mu's girlfriend?"

"He really does have a girlfriend. I thought he didn't have one," a young man said.

A few young people gathered together with coffee and started to talk about it. "Oh my god. I thought I still had a chance. It's clear now that I don't have a chance. His girlfriend is here and it's true that he's not single," one of the women said.

"Did you guys see CEO Mu's girlfriend just now? She looks quite young. Could she be a university student?" another young woman asked.

"It's possible. With CEO Mu's condition, he can get any girl. I would definitely be very happy to be his girlfriend. He never flirts with other women. It's a pity that such a good man is no longer available." The women pouted and pretended to be very sad. They were frustrated because there were many of them in the company who were young and beautiful. Who wouldn't want to hook up with such an outstanding man?

Mu Ziyu invited Shuishui into his own office and let her sit. "The sofa is quite low. You can sit on this chair instead to eat. I bought all your favorite food."

Shuishui nodded and sat in Mu Ziyu's seat. Mu Ziyu sat next to Shuishui on a smaller chair. He only wanted Shuishui to eat more. "When will you be free?" Mu Ziyu asked.

Shuishui said, "The day after tomorrow will do. Tomorrow night, Uncle Jiang is holding a celebration for my having passed the exam. Later, I can browse the Internet to see if there are any places we can visit. We can drive for as long as ten hours. We can stop and walk to enjoy the scenery around us."

"That's a pretty good plan. You choose the place. I'll drive." He looked at Shuishui lovingly. He would be happy to go anywhere with Shuishui if it made her happy.

Shuishui ate her food in big mouthfuls. "Tonight, let's eat Manchurian cuisine. I suddenly feel like eating dumplings," she said.

"Whatever you say. My Shuishui is the biggest foodie." He stroked Shuishui's head. "Later, you can use my computer in the office just to pass the time."

"Do you need help with anything? I think I can help you with minor tasks," Shuishui said. She wanted to make good use of her time rather than just using the computer and browsing the Internet.

"If you really want to help, then help me translate a document into English," Ziyu said. He knew how good Shuishui was in English. It might be an easy task for her.

"Sure. Just treat me to a big meal tonight." She was easily satisfied.

"That's not even enough. After dinner, I'll take you to an artificial beach. The food there is delicious, and there are so many water activities. It's a simple date. Do I have the honor?" He looked at Shuishui. She was really cute.

Shuishui pretended to think for a moment. "Sure. Water activities should be quite interesting. Actually, I'm thinking of bringing Anzhi and Jiang Li along. Their classes have just finished, and they're preparing for their exam. We can help them relax before the exam."

Ziyu's goal was to make Shuishui happy. "Okay. I'll agree to whatever you say, even if it means having two more third wheels."
