Shen Mianmian rolled her eyes. "When are you going to the city? Let me know, I'll go with you."
"If you pass the exam, won't your dad support your education? What do you need to go to the city for?"

In Shen Mianmian's eyes, Lu Siyuan was like a sensible older nephew. She wasn't pretentious or polite and would hitch a ride whenever she had the chance.
