“Tonight is to celebrate your college entrance examination result, and we have to immediately look for a good day to hold the ceremony. We must ensure that this relation is acknowledged on a large public scale.” It was a testament to how much power Gookhwan held as no one else dared to object when he spoke.

“A ceremony… isn’t it a bit too formal?” Lisa whispered to Jungkook, “Isn’t it enough with a small acknowledgment?”

Jungkook covered his mouth with a fist, stopping the smile that was threatening to stretch on his face. He knew that this girl had always been ignorant and not used to the more extravagant part of this lifestyle, wanting to avoid it if possible. However, he allowed her ignorance this time, knowing that the Manoban family had probably neglected to hold a formal banquet for her before. He instead raised an eyebrow sternly. “Grandpa Yin is old, and he likes things to be lively, do you have the heart to deny him so?”

Lisa: “…”

She knew it was a lost cause then.

Jihyun was persuading Lisa to stay the night, and Jungkook had initially wanted to refuse her good intentions. But seeing the warm smile on Lisa’s face, he swallowed the words down. As long as she was happy, that was just fine.

‘The Yin family is really a force to be reckoned with,’ Jungkook thought as he narrowed his eyes, but it was still somewhat gratifying.

Lisa didn’t expect that Jungkook would actually agree, and she looked at him with a mixture of gratitude and surprise. Jungkook said nothing but gently rubbed the top of her head, his expression warm as he said, “Go on, go and see the room with Aunt.”

“That’s right, come along, I’ve been decorating it for a while!” Jihyun said as she looked towards Lisa with an eager expression.

The room that was given to her was opposite Taehyung’s room. The walls were painted in pale blue and decorated with furnitures of pink tones, though it was not overly blinding to the eye. The floor was covered in thick, fluffy carpet, and in the centre of the room was a white princess-style bed. The area beside the large windows that stretched from the floor to the ceilings were decorated with tatami and a small round table, giving it a neat and delicate look.

“I got someone to break the walls to the next room, which was just used to store miscellaneous things. Taehyung said you like to paint and read, so I made a small study for you,” Jihyun said, explaining the wall between the bedroom and the study that was separated by a large piece of glass.

There was a row of antique-style bookshelves in the study room, and the many rows were stacked neatly with books. There were also an easel, paints of all colors, and paper placed around the room.

There had been a time when she had been envious of Eunha’s bedroom. Now, she had a more luxurious and spacious bedroom than her sister. Lisa blinked her eyes rapidly, trying to hold back the sting that was threatening to spill forth.

Jungkook was also surprised by the gesture. No matter whatever the reason the Yin family had done this, he wouldn’t forget this good intention.

Tonight, there were some people who slept well with wonderful dreams, and there were people who found sleep eluding them.

Two banners hung outside First City High, one was to celebrate the two students from their school having obtained the top spot and runner up at the province level, and the other was to celebrate the same two students for also taking the top spot and runner up at the national level.

This made the other schools green with envy, especially Qing City High.

In the previous years, the top rankers had always come from Qing City High. It was due to the fact that Qing City High was a school for aristocrats, and the teachers who taught there were outstanding. This time, the top student in their school also had grades that were great, and could be considered to be the top ranker if in certain places. However, with First City High producing two monsters, this overshadowed all other outstanding students that they had.
