After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 103: She Reminds Me of Someone I Used to Know

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: She Reminds Me of Someone I Used to Know

"Xu Ling’an?"

Thinking the elder sister in front of her didn’t believe she was called that name, Xu Ling’an quickly pulled out her student ID from her similarly soaked backpack and handed it over, "Sister, this is my student ID."

Jiang Lingxi realized she had misunderstood, but still reached out to take it.

A thin card, feeling much like an ID card, with a photo in the top right corner capturing the little girl smiling, though the smile was slightly heavy.

The left side of the photo was the printed basic information.

Name, class, student number, and at the bottom was the school’s name.

"Nancheng Third High School."

Lu Zhengzheng wiped her hair, which hadn’t gotten too wet, and leaned over at the sound, "You’re studying at Nancheng Third High School, then your grades must be excellent."

Seeing her sister Xixi looking up, Lu Zhengzheng quickly added, "Nancheng Third High School is the high school with the highest entrance scores in this area, I heard that more than half the students there can directly get recommendations every year, is that true?"

Xu Ling’an wiped her hair and nodded obediently, "Yes."

Lu Zhengzheng gently sighed, "They’re all like geniuses!" After expressing admiration, she changed the subject, "But at this time, you should be in evening self-study, why are you out in the rain on the street?"

"I’m going to the hospital."

Jiang Lingxi frowned, "Are you sick?"

"No," Xu Ling’an quickly waved her hand, "It’s my grandmother, I’ll stay with her tonight."

"You’re a senior, about to take the college entrance exam, how come..."

Lu Zhengzheng’s words were gradually silenced under Jiang Lingxi’s gaze.

"Which hospital?"

Xu Ling’an realized she intended to give her a lift and quickly refused, "No need to trouble you, sister, the rain has lessened, I can go by myself."

Jiang Lingxi glanced outside the car window, indeed it was lighter, but still not small, and decisively instructed, "Drive."

Seeing this, Xu Ling’an could only sit back down and reported the hospital’s address.

"Thank you, sister."

"You’re welcome, we just happen to be free."

The car didn’t stop until it reached the inpatient building, Jiang Lingxi opened the car door and got out, turned back to see Xu Ling’an coming out in her still wet clothes, "Take the blanket."

Lu Zhengzheng quickly stuffed the blanket, which Xu Ling’an had set aside, into her hands.

Xu Ling’an remained silent for a moment, obediently wrapping herself up.

She couldn’t afford the consequences of catching a cold now, not only would it affect taking care of her grandmother, but it could also hinder her studies.

Getting off the car, she pulled out a pen and paper from her backpack, quickly wrote down her name, home address, and phone number, and handed it to Jiang Lingxi, "Thank you, sister, for helping me today, otherwise I’d be in big trouble. Here’s my information, sister, you can also take a picture of my student ID, and I’ll treat you to a meal when there’s a chance. Also, could you give me your contact info?"

Lu Zhengzheng had a conditioned response to the last request, instinctively about to give her assistant’s number, but before she could, Jiang Lingxi already gave her own number.

"Did you remember?"

Xu Ling’an nodded heavily, "I remembered." Then she repeated it once.

"Good, great memory. It’s windy here, go in quickly."

"Goodbye, sister."

Watching that thin figure wrapped in a blanket disappear from sight, Jiang Lingxi returned to the car.

Turning her head, she met the bright eyes of Lu Zhengzheng.

"Drive."

The car left the hospital, ready to return to the original route, Lu Zhengzheng moved closer to Jiang Lingxi, "Xixi, why did you suddenly rush out to save someone? It gave me and the driver a scare."

If this were on the roadside, it would be understandable to instinctively help if someone nearby was about to fall.

But the key was that they were just in the car!

What exactly drove her, she still couldn’t figure out.

"It’s slippery when it rains, and you didn’t know her, if Sister Tong were in the car, she’d have said something for sure."

Jiang Lingxi draped a blanket over her lap, glanced sideways upon hearing, and looked over.

Under that gaze, Lu Zhengzheng’s heart tightened, quickly promising, "I won’t tell Sister Tong."

Jiang Lingxi then spoke, "She looks a lot like my..."

Suddenly remembering she only had a younger brother, Jiang Lingxi swallowed back ’sister’ and revised, "An old friend."

Lu Zhengzheng suddenly looked enlightened, "No wonder. Now that we’ve been out, the rain seems to have stopped, should we have dinner outside before going back?"

"Mm." Jiang Lingxi lightly nodded, pulled out the piece of paper Xu Ling’an wrote her details on, and entered the number into her phone.

Lu Zhengzheng looked over just in time to see her actions, couldn’t help reminding, "Xixi, your personal number should be absolutely confidential except to relatives and friends, I was actually going to give my number to the little girl. If it’s accidentally leaked, it could be troublesome."

After saving the number, Jiang Lingxi stored her phone and the paper, responding calmly, "Do you think Xu Ling’an acted like she knew me?"

Lu Zhengzheng: "..." She thought back carefully, a bit awkwardly, "Seems like she really didn’t recognize you! Probably good students don’t follow entertainment circles or star-chase, no wonder she got into Nancheng Third High School."

Jiang Lingxi turned to look at the splendid night view outside the window, only to feel as if she saw a pair of eyes as bright and lively as a young deer.

Her younger sister Jin’an was also naturally bright, but unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talent!

*

Xu Ling’an quietly walked into a somewhat rudimentary ward, ready to slip into the bathroom to change clothes, when the stirring elderly person in the bed called out.

"Stop!"

She froze, turned back, "Grandma."

Gao Lan fumbled for the reading glasses by the pillow, put them on, and frowned deeply upon seeing her granddaughter’s state, "Got caught in the rain? Didn’t I tell you before, don’t come if it rains, do you want both of us to end up in the hospital? And where did the blanket you’re wrapped in come from?"

Standing where she was, Xu Ling’an obediently listened to the scolding, only speaking in her defense after the elder finished, "I got caught in the rain halfway, accidentally slipped, and a passing sister saved me, the blanket is hers, she even gave me a ride to the hospital."

Gao Lan’s frown deepened, "You little girl, so careless, dared to get in a stranger’s car."

Xu Ling’an couldn’t help countering, "The sister is a good person."

"How old are you, constantly buried in books, can you distinguish between good and bad people? Even if this time you met someone kind, it won’t always be the case, be more cautious." Seeing her granddaughter still seemed defiant, Gao Lan closed her eyes and waved dismissively, "Alright, alright, there’s hot water in the thermos, hurry up and wipe off, change clothes, then go to the pharmacy on the first floor for some cold medicine, with the exam so near, you can’t afford to get sick!"

After changing clothes and making the cold medicine, Xu Ling’an still thought about her grandma doubting the sister’s good nature, sipping her cup as she emphasized once again, "Grandma, that sister really is a good person, I can tell, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to get in her car!"

"Oh, and what’s the name of this kind sister you mentioned?"

Xu Ling’an paused mid-sip, her face blanking for a few seconds before nearly crying, "I forgot to ask!"

Gao Lan: "..."
