Lin Zhaonan made a fervent wish at the Mountain God's temple:
"O divine one, trade all my romantic luck for financial fortune! Sacrifice whatever destined match I've got!"
Lin Zhaonan remembered that her master had once read her fortune and said her destined match was rather unusual.
She figured she probably had no destined match at all, and her master just didn't want to say so outright and hurt her feelings.
Trading an imaginary destined match for financial fortune? What a bargain! It's free money!
Then came a sudden smack.
Half the candle on the candlestick suddenly fell off.
A furious voice rang in her ear. "Sacrificing me is one thing, but what do you mean by not wanting to pay for incense and sticking a straw in the incense burner?"

Hugging You in Secret
The day before the holiday, Lin Xiaoyuan gathered her courage and handed a love letter to the class monitor.
But she saw him bow his head and take her older sister's hand tenderly.
So even someone as aloof as him had a person he held dear.
Lin Xiaoyuan instinctively tried to avoid the truth.
Then, by chance, she saw her older sister raise her chin at her smugly.
Her mother's words suddenly rang in Lin Xiaoyuan's mind.
"Everything in this house belongs to your sister. Don't even think about it."
She turned and ran, trembling as she tore up the letter, damp with sweat from her hands.
To her surprise, she discovered...
The envelope didn't contain a love letter at all.
It held a demerit slip meant for Su Chi, the school bully!
Lin Xiaoyuan had heard her family talk about the famous Su family, and had also heard her mother hint that her older sister should get on good terms with Su Chi.
But this haughty young master, the demon king no one at No. 1 High School dared to provoke, was someone even her sister didn't dare approach.
Lin Xiaoyuan was suddenly stunned.
Then what had she hurriedly left on Su Chi's desk after school?!
-
After the holiday, Lin Xiaoyuan no longer paused by the class monitor's seat.
She also stopped bringing him milk as she used to.
Lin Xiaoyuan didn't notice the sudden change in the usually composed class monitor's expression.
Remembering that Su Chi's mother, a member of the school board, had asked her, as deputy class monitor, to "keep an eye on Su Chi," Lin Xiaoyuan turned and asked Su Chi if he wanted the extra milk.
"Only little kids drink this. I told you to stop fussing over me."
Su Chi, sitting behind her, turned his handsome face away in disdain, but the tips of his ears suspiciously began to redden.

Graduation gala.
Lin Xiaoyuan took the stage to give a speech as an outstanding graduate.
Seeing her excellent daughter onstage, no longer paying her any attention, Lin Xiaoyuan's mother glanced at her older sister, who had done poorly on her exams, and regretted her choices. She was just about to go show Lin Xiaoyuan some concern, but the crowd pressing in to give her flowers had already swept her away.
In the crowd, the No. 1 High School bully blocked Lin Xiaoyuan's path, holding an admission letter identical to hers. Then he turned his head away awkwardly and asked, "So you're really not going to look after me anymore?"
Lin Xiaoyuan: "??"
Lin Xiaoyuan said in surprise, "Your mom said I only had to look after you until graduation."
