177: Chapter 177 A Two-Way Race!

In front of Imperial Capital Academy.

Lin Mo was about to take Su Youwei to register at the academy.

His communicator suddenly started vibrating.

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

Someone was contacting him using a Spark communicator?

Su Youwei also subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Although she was not a member of Spark.

She had seen Su Qianxue use this kind of communicator before.

It usually meant that something very serious had happened.

Lin Mo opened the communicator and glanced at the name on it: Song Cheng.

His frown deepened.

After connecting.

Lin Mo listened quietly as Song Cheng anxiously explained the situation.

"Mm, okay, I understand. I'm coming over now."

After hanging up the communicator, Lin Mo looked at Su Youwei.

Su Youwei's expression was a bit uneasy.

In the past, whenever her aunt Su Qianxue received a call like this, it often meant that an Abyss Portal had appeared somewhere.

"Did something happen?" Su Youwei couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing," Lin Mo squeezed her hand, comforting her, "It's just that the Spark station here in Shengjing City wants me to go over and handle some paperwork."

"I've been so focused on keeping you company these past few days that I forgot to go."

Su Youwei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you should go now."

Lin Mo shook his head, "It's fine. You're unfamiliar with this place, so I'll definitely accompany you to register first."

"Let them wait."

Su Youwei was deeply moved, but she shook her head seriously, "No, it's already been delayed for two days because of me."

"You go. I can register by myself."

Lin Mo showed a troubled expression on his face.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "Then... alright then."

"I'll go then."

"How about this: I'll contact Song Cheng in a bit and have him take you to register so you'll have someone to look out for you."

A sweet smile appeared on Su Youwei's face.

"Okay..."

Although she had only eaten one meal with Song Cheng, compared to being in a completely unfamiliar environment.

It would naturally be more relaxing to have someone she knew by her side.

Lin Mo was so good to her.

He was considering her feelings every single moment.

After watching Su Youwei leave.

Lin Mo finally let out a long sigh of relief.

That was close...

This almost went sideways.

Who would have thought that Gu Rongyu didn't register first as agreed.

Instead, she had been waiting at the school gate the whole time, wanting to give him a surprise.

Thankfully, Song Cheng reminded him.

Otherwise, it would have been a total catastrophe.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough.

This way, not only could he solve the problem of the two of them meeting.

He could also learn of Su Youwei's whereabouts from Song Cheng later on.

Directly avoiding any contact between the two.

Perfect!

...

On the other side.

As soon as Su Youwei approached Imperial Capital Academy, many people's gazes immediately landed on her.

Even Gu Rongyu, who was looking around for Lin Mo, was slightly stunned when she saw Su Youwei.

What a cute girl.

It makes one want to protect her.

This thought subconsciously flashed through Gu Rongyu's mind.

Su Youwei was already sensitive by nature, and upon noticing the gazes cast from all around.

She subconsciously lowered her head and walked into Imperial Capital Academy with her head down.

"Are you a freshman who just arrived? My name is Liao Lin. Let me take you to register; I can also introduce you to the situation inside the academy."

Su Youwei looked up and saw that the other person was a senior with a very friendly smile, so she shook her head.

"No need, thank you though..."

After saying this, Su Youwei continued to walk into the academy with her head down.

Seeing this, Gu Rongyu also retracted her gaze and began searching for traces of Lin Mo in the crowd again.

Meanwhile, Song Cheng, who was hiding in the distance, quickly rushed over once he was sure Gu Rongyu couldn't see him.

"Sister-in-law! The Boss told me to find you."

Su Youwei's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still gave a soft "Mm."

She accepted the title of sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the senior Liao Lin, whom she had just declined, came up to them again.

"Are you both freshmen?"

"Are you sure you don't need my help? Imperial Capital Academy is huge. If you wander around by yourselves, who knows how long it will take to register."

"It's too much wasted time."

Song Cheng waved his hand, "Oh, no need, no need. We'll look for it slowly ourselves."

Liao Lin was very persistent. She didn't leave directly, and she turned her gaze toward Su Youwei, "Junior, you probably don't know."

"Registration time determines your dormitory conditions. If you delay too long, all the good dormitories will be taken by others first."

"Look at how many people there are..."

Su Youwei subconsciously glanced at the dense crowd around her.

She wasn't very good at refusing others in the first place.

Coupled with Liao Lin's words, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Song Cheng also frowned slightly and asked vigilantly, "Are you going to charge us money for this?"

Liao Lin looked a bit indignant, "What kind of person do you take me for? I would never take your money!"

"Fine, forget it if you don't want it!"

As she spoke, Liao Lin looked a bit pouty and was about to leave.

Su Youwei quickly called out to her, "Then... sorry to trouble you, Senior..."

Liao Lin smiled then.

She then led Su Youwei and Song Cheng into the interior of Imperial Capital Academy.

However...

What Su Youwei and Song Cheng didn't notice was that after turning around, a trace of mischievous glee appeared on Liao Lin's face.

...

About half an hour after Su Youwei and the others entered Imperial Capital Academy.

Lin Mo finally arrived, albeit a bit late, in front of Imperial Capital Academy.

Gu Rongyu, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly brightened up.

She walked quickly towards Lin Mo.

And the moment Lin Mo saw her.

A look of completely natural surprise also appeared on his face.

Then Lin Mo quickened his pace.

Running towards each other.

The two of them soon met up.

Lin Mo spoke first with surprise, "Rongyu! I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until after I registered!"

Seeing Lin Mo's reaction, the corners of Gu Rongyu's mouth curled up slightly.

"Hmph, this is a little surprise I prepared for you."

"This way, I can accompany you to register."

"And..." Gu Rongyu drew out her tone, "I checked, Imperial Capital Academy assigns student IDs based on registration time."

"Our student IDs will be right next to each other then."

The smile on Gu Rongyu's face became even brighter.

This was also her little clever idea.

Lin Mo also nodded with a look of surprise, "Great, that way everyone will know you're my girlfriend."

Although Lin Mo didn't care about the student ID thing.

He knew very well that a girl like Gu Rongyu, who had never dated before, would always want to stick together in all sorts of different ways.

Even the trees near the No. 3 Middle School playground had been carved with the names of many couples.

"Then... shall we go? Register first?"

"Okay!"

Then Lin Mo generously reached out and took Gu Rongyu's hand.

The people originally gathered around couldn't help but jeer and tease.

"Such a pretty girl, and she already has a partner."

"Sigh, what a pity."

"Don't say that, they actually look quite compatible."

The corners of Gu Rongyu's mouth curled up slightly.

Just as the two were about to enter the academy.

A girl walked out from the crowd.

And blocked their path.
