<h4>Chapter 1374: Yin Linger Fell into the Water</h4>


    Zhou Pingan looked at his father and raised his eyebrows.


    Zhou Dayuan put one of his hands in his pocket and whispered to his son, “You’re 18 years today. But don’t think that you can do bad things just because you’re an adult. She is still young. It’s not the timing yet.”


    Zhou Pingan looked at Yin Linger’s beautiful figure and his gaze became more and more affectionate.


    “Somemore, you’re going to Ennd.”


    Zhou Pingan was silent for a few seconds, then he nodded. “Okay.”


    “Tell her properly, or else she’ll be sad again.”


    “I know.”


    Zhou Dayuan left.


    Yin Linger was with Lu Ning. Lu Ning was wearing a long green dress, which she looked stunning. Yin Linger pestered her and asked, “Ah Ning, what gift did you prepare for Brother Pingan?”


    Lu Ning smiled. “It’s a secret.”


    “Aiya, Ah Ning, just tell me. I’m so curious.”


    “If I tell you now, there won’t be any surprise. After I give it to him, you can ask him yourself. He will definitely tell you.”


    Yin Linger was disappointed and unhappy. At the same time, she was a little bit worried.


    Lu Ning walked up to Zhou Pingan and handed him the gift box. “Pingan, happy 18th birthday to you.”


    “Thank you.” He asked with a smile, “What’s this? If it’s not sincere enough, I probably won’t ept it.”


    “Pingan, you’re going to Ennd, right?” Lu Ning asked.


    To Pingan, Lu Ning had always been an intelligent girl with a sharp mind. She could see through things easily, but Linger was different. She was silly, pure, and always needed his care.


    “Yes, I’ll be leaving soon.”


    Lu Ning smiled. “It’s very cold in Ennd now. I’ve knitted a scarf for you. You have to take good care of yourself when you get there.”


    Scarf?


    Zhou Pingan opened the gift box. The green scarf was beautifully woven, and the furry thread made him feel warm just by looking at it.


    “Ah Ning, thank you.” He smiled warmly.


    Yin Linger, who was at the side was in shock. Oh no! They had the same gift. She had also knitted a scarf.


    However, the scarf that she had knitted was so ugly. It was crooked like a bug crawling. It could not bepared to Ah Ning’s.


    She had been pestering Ah Ning about the gift because she was afraid that she would embarrass herself if she took out the scarf. Now, she was in trouble. The gift ideas crashed and hers waspletely defeated by Ah Ning’s.


    At this moment, Yin Linger heard a few discussions behind her.


    “Look, the young master of the Zhou family and the daughter of the Lu family are a good match. A perfect couple.”


    “Yeah, Lu Ning gave Zhou Pingan a scarf. A girl knitted a scarf for a boy. If this isn’t love, then what is it?”


    Yin Linger’s heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.


    Brother Pingan and Ah Ning..?


    She had never thought of this possibility, but Ah Ning gave Brother Pingan a scarf… She gave Brother Pingan a scarf because she liked him, but what about Ah Ning?


    Yin Linger seemed to have discovered a secret, a secret that she had been ignoring. All these years, she had been with him, while Ah Ning had been quietly watching from the side.


    Could it be that Ah Ning also liked Brother Pingan?


    “Linger!” At this moment, she heard someone calling her.


    She looked up and saw Zhou Pingan and Ah Ning looking at her and waving at her.


    Yin Linger quickly came back to her senses. She ran over and curled the corners of her lips. “Brother Pingan, Ah Ning.”


    “Linger, where’s your present? Pingan was asking for it,” Lu Ning said with a smile.


    Yin Linger looked at him, who was looking at her warmly and expectantly. It was his 18th birthday present, and he really wanted to see what she would be giving him.


    Yin Linger felt a little uneasy. “Brother Pingan, I’m sorry. I forgot to prepare a present.”


    Zhou Pingan frowned. “Really?”


    “Yes.” She nodded. “Erm, my brother should be here soon. Let me check on that.”


    With that, she ran away.


    “Linger!” Lu Ning called out from behind. She asked curiously, “What’s wrong with her? Why does she look so weird? I don’t think she will forget about the present though…”


    Zhou Pingan didn’t believe her either. She must be hiding something.


    Zhou Pingan wanted to chase after her, but her mother called out to him, “Pingan,e over here for a moment.”


    “Hmm…I’ll go over first,” Zhou Pingan said to Lu Ning.


    “Okay.” Lu Ning nodded. “I’ll go check on Linger.”


    …..


    Lu Ning went to look for Yin Linger, but she didn’t find her. Instead, she saw Yin Zhihan.


    A shiny ck luxury car stopped on thewn. A person wearing sses got out of the driver’s seat, looking like a secretary. The secretary respectfully opened the back door and Yin Zhihan walked out.


    He wore a custom-made ck suit today, looking extraordinarily handsome bathing in the light smoke and cold air.


    It was said that he had already made a name for himself in the financial and business circles in the United States this year. Without any sponsorship from his father, he was going to go list his firstpany in the market.


    The 17-year-old man was said to be better than his father.


    Lu Ning’s first reaction was to avoid him. She didn’t want to have any contact with him.


    She did indeed do so. She turned around and ran.


    But before she could take a step, she turned around and ran into someone’s arms. It was Zhou Pingan, who was looking for Yin Linger.


    Zhou Pingan reached out his hand to support her waist in a gentlemanly manner. He lowered his eyes and asked with concern, “Ah Ning, are you alright? What happened? Why are you so flustered?”


    “I’m fine.” Lu Ning shook her head.


    But at that moment, Lu Ning saw someone. Yin Linger was standing in front of them, looking at them.


    “Linger!”


    Zhou Pingan turned around and saw Yin Linger looking at them with a pale face. While Lu Ning was still in his arms.


    Oh no!


    Linger must have misunderstood. Zhou Pingan left Lu Ning and strode forward. “Linger, listen to me…”


    Yin Linger turned and ran.


    After running for a while, she tripped on a rock. “Ah!” She screamed and fell into the pool.


    It was winter now, and the water in the pool was covered with a thinyer of ice. Yin Linger fell straight into it.


    Lu Ning’s pupils constricted as if she could not breathe. When she saw that she had already run there.


    “Linger, I’ming to save you!” Lu Ning reached out to pick up her skirt. She stepped on the edge of the pool and was about to jump down.


    At this time, arge palm grabbed her slender waist and pulled her down from the edge of the pool.


    “Who are you? Let go of me!” Lu Ning looked back.


    It was Yin Zhihan.


    “Let go of me, let go of me! Linger fell into the water. She can’t swim!” Lu Ning struggled violently.


    “Calm down. Pingan has already jumped in.”


    Lu Ning turned her head and saw that Zhou Pingan had jumped into the pool almost instantly. His agile and vigorous figure could be seen in the clear and cold blue pool.
