I insist

Chapter 98: Cruise Ship

But before that, we need to add that name to the registration list as soon as possible.

Hiding all her defenses deep in her heart, Song Miqiu once again threw herself into the competition before her.

"Examiner, I am her apprentice, do you think it's possible for me to..."

Yu Huailin's fabricated face was so lifelike in its attempt to please that even Song Miqiu, who turned around upon hearing the voice, was taken aback.

But the examiner wasn't having any of it and was about to say something when his arm was grabbed.

“Look at your hands, how can you write so many words? Why don’t you let my master read them and I’ll write them down? I promise you won’t need to write a single extra word.”

"If everyone were like you, what would be the point of fairness? Get down here."

The father-in-law glanced coldly at Yu Huailin. Seeing that he was not ready to leave, his brows furrowed. Just as he was about to call someone over to deal with him, he saw the other man cautiously approaching.

"I know you are a magnanimous person, so please forgive me this once, considering my master's appearance. My master is the Crown Prince..."

"What? She's the doctor who was brought back? I see, but don't think that's letting you off easy. You better watch out."

Upon hearing the eunuch's warning, the two nodded repeatedly and then looked at the exam papers in front of them again.

Song Miqiu felt someone suddenly touch his shoulder, so he immediately put down his brush, stood to the side, and whispered something.

Meanwhile, Yu Huailin kept writing down the correct answers, and soon the entire answer sheet was finished.

However, in order not to attract attention, the two did not hand in their papers immediately. Instead, they looked at the contents of the papers again, as if they were examining a student's answer sheet.

"I don't expect you to memorize it all, but at least you should memorize the first line."

She understood this; after all, she had memorized politics in the same way in the past.

After confirming several times that he had memorized a small portion of all the questions, he calmly handed in his answer sheet, leaving it to the others to judge.

Just as Yu Huailin had guessed, those people picked out a number of questions to ask.

Song Miqiu answered so fluently that no one could find any problems with her answer, and in the end, they had no choice but to let her pass.

Finally seeing her name written on it, she breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the eunuch and asked about the follow-up time, before turning around and leaving with her only disciple who could participate in the competition.

He walked to a secluded corner, then stopped and tossed a jade pendant from his system into the other person's hand.

"I'll return the money you just spent, so you won't have anything to say about it later."

After Song Miqiu finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a cruise ship flashing by on the lake out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but look over.

A soft singing voice came from above, captivating her, who hadn't had any entertainment in a long time.

"You did a great job today, how about we go for a walk on the lake?"

"That's good too. Since there's no place to stay nearby, they can't keep an eye on things all the time."

Even if you keep an eye on them, they can be easily detected, which makes them easier to deal with.

Song Miqiu understood his meaning, nodded, and then had someone sniff out the location by the water, easily boarding the boat.

To avoid being disturbed, we specifically chose to charter the boat.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces above, I managed to relax for a while, only to find that the chair beneath me was uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but frown.

"Would you like to try the reclining chairs, sir? Everyone who sits on them finds them incredibly comfortable, as if... as if..."

"No need to say anything more, just let me try it."

Song Miqiu knew exactly what that feeling was like, so she immediately interrupted him and sat down on the recliner in the shadows.

The rocking of the small boat, combined with the slight swaying of the deck chair, quickly made one feel sleepy.

But just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a thud not far away, followed by frantic cries for help from all around.

"Someone's fallen into the water! Anyone who can swim, please go in and save them!"

"Bamboo pole, hurry up and get something so someone can grab it and pull it back."

Hearing the noise outside, Song Miqiu slowly opened her eyes and saw another boat full of men dressed as scholars, one or two of them rolling up their sleeves as if they were about to go into the water.

But he seemed unable to swim and was afraid to go down, constantly pushing the people next to him.

Fortunately, this place wasn't too far from the shore, while quite a few people jumped into the water on the other side.

Following the sound of the water, Song Miqiu saw a man in blue clothes in the water, his face obscured by his wet hair.

The person seemed unable to swim and struggled to be rescued, but due to the distance between the two sides, he could only struggle in the water.

Just as Song Miqiu was about to look away and wait for the others to make their move, her hair was partially washed away by the water, revealing half of her delicate face.

She wasn't sure if it was because a lot of the face was obscured by the clothes, but she actually felt that the face resembled the person in her dream somewhat.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the man was indeed the one from his dream, and his expression changed drastically.

Just as he was recalling the events, the man lost all strength and began to sink rapidly.

Seeing this, Song Miqiu frowned and was about to jump into the water without thinking, but her arm was grabbed by someone.

"What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten that someone is watching us?"

"But that's still a human life, and we can't just stand by and watch someone die."

She struggled to break free of the hand and tried to go back into the water, but found that the hand had already landed on her arm, forcibly keeping her in place.

Song Miqiu felt somewhat helpless and wanted to say something more, but then she sensed something was wrong and was pressed back onto the recliner.

"You ignored that person just now, but now you suddenly feel compassion when you see someone else's face. You're not actually planning to turn this into a real relationship, are you?"

"You! I don't have time to waste on your words right now, let go!"

Song Miqiu was still worried, so she tried her best to use a movement that others wouldn't notice to forcefully wave the hand away.

But he quickly pressed down with his other hand, revealing an even more helpless expression.

"You're just standing by and watching someone die. If that person dies because of you, can you sleep soundly?"

"Of course I can sleep. It's not like I caused this person to fall into the water."

Yu Huailin left those words indifferently before withdrawing his hand and looking at the guy who had been carried to the roadside.

Who exactly is that person?

Why did Song Miqiu suddenly lose his composure? This must be investigated.

Unaware of the other party's thoughts, Song Miqiu stared intently at the man who had been thrown to the ground and immediately ordered the boatman to bring the boat to the nearest shore.

But they were worried that she would change her mind and ask for all the money back, so they deliberately made another stretch of road until they reached the middle of the lake.

"Don't worry, sir. We are not like that boat. Everyone on board is a skilled swimmer. We are definitely not like that young master."

"I'm a doctor. If I can get a clear picture of that person's condition, I might still be able to save them."

Upon hearing this, the boatman reluctantly slid the boat toward the shore.
