Chapter 165 - 166: Relatives Arrive (8)
Yesterday, Lou Nan looked like a young rebel from the fringes of society when Lou Xi saw her, but today she had changed into normal clothes and removed her earrings.
Apart from the striking hair, Lou Nan still appeared to be an innocent young girl.
She stood in the corridor, with many male students gazing at her.
It’s natural for them to be attracted since Lou Nan is beautiful.
She walked up to Lou Xi, her head lowered submissively, and said, "Sis, I know I was wrong."
Lou Nan used to be compliant and never caused trouble. Her recent unusual behavior undoubtedly has an indelible link to Lin Qiao.
"You and Lin Qiao?"
"I’ve broken up with him, but he took all the money you gave me yesterday. I’m completely broke and don’t dare to call our parents. I just thought, I still have a sister." Lou Nan spoke sincerely as if she truly realized her mistake.
"Alright, I don’t have that much money either, but I’ll borrow some from a friend to get you a plane ticket. Go back and study hard, okay?"
"Borrow money..." Lou Nan seemed rather unwilling.
"Yes, although the plane ticket is expensive, it’s the fastest way back. You’re in the third year of high school; you can’t afford to delay."
"Sis, I don’t want to go back. I want to study my senior year here." Lou Nan released Lou Xi’s hand. "You know our place has such poor teaching quality. If I go to high school in Nancheng, I can definitely get into a good university like you did!"
Lou Xi was perplexed, knowing that attending high school in Nancheng requires either household registration here or parents working here for many years for a child to qualify to study and take the entrance exam.
Lou Nan trying to enroll in a public high school and take the exam was simply impossible for Lou Xi without any background.
"Studying is the same everywhere; why Nancheng? Plus, I have no means to get you into a high school here!"
Lou Nan’s face fell, "I knew you wouldn’t want to help me since you’re not my real sister. Forget it, you don’t need to borrow money for a ticket now. I wouldn’t get into university if I went back, I’ll just work here."
A lot of students were passing through the corridor, glancing at Lou Xi and Lou Nan.
Lou Xi had been a person of interest to classmates; now they were listening intently to the situation.
Lou Xi felt overwhelmed.
"Where are you staying now?"
"I have nowhere to stay; can I live with you?" Lou Nan’s eyes sparkled, "Sis, does that mean you’ll help me study here?"
Lou Xi had never agreed...
"Sis, you’re so great, I’m going to call Mom and Dad to tell them you’re helping me study here. I’m definitely going to get into university!" Lou Nan, quick to act, dialed their phone and told them everything in a heartbeat.
When Lou Nan handed the phone over to Lou Xi, she felt embarrassed.
"Xixi, thank you for helping take care of Nannan. We don’t even know how she ended up in Nancheng! Luckily, you’re there. Please, take care of her."
"...Alright, don’t worry." The parents and Lou Xi were so polite, maybe because she’s not their biological daughter.
Yet, Lou Xi agreed under pressure; how could she resolve this?
She really wasn’t all-powerful to help Lou Nan with her schooling issues!
Could she rely on Qin Mo Bai again?
