“I found a night school where I can learn the theory, then take the adult college entrance exam to get a diploma, and then I’m planning to apply for a job as an apprentice at a repair shop. What do you think?” Han Xiangdong made this call after finding out everything.

"That's a good idea," Yue Yao nodded, "but it will be very hard work."

"I'm not afraid of hard work." Han Xiangdong smiled, finally feeling a sense of purpose. "I've already found a location for the repair shop, it's in the Daming Road auto parts market, it's quite a big one. If you're an apprentice, it'll be room and board provided, and the monthly salary is 1,800 yuan... After three months, if you pass the assessment, you'll become a full-time employee, and then you can earn 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month..."

"Once you've made a decision, just do it." Le Yao was genuinely happy for her older brother. Han Xiangdong and Nie Baozhen were actually the same kind of people. They knew their own limitations, were down-to-earth, and weren't afraid of hardship. Two people like that would never go hungry.

"Thank you, Alan." Han Xiangdong smiled and hung up the phone.

Le Yao smiled and started the car to go home. However, as soon as she finished turning, she suddenly slammed on the brakes, breaking out in a cold sweat. She stuck her head out and said, "Don't you want to live?" If she had reacted any slower, she would have crashed into the car.

The person who was almost hit looked up and was stunned when their eyes met Le Yao's.

Two minutes later, Yang Jinhan got into Le Yao's car.

Half an hour later, the two sat down in a teahouse.

"Tell me, what happened?" Le Yao placed a cup of tea in front of him. It was the first time she had seen this genius boy so dejected. In her memory, he was still the shy but muscular boy who would send her pictures of his muscles.

Yang Jinhan glanced at Le Yao, then looked down at the teacup in front of him: "I once liked a girl..."

Le Yao quickly leaned back to make herself more comfortable, since she was there to hear a story.

"That girl... at first everyone disliked her because she was too pretentious, but I thought she was silly..."

Le Yao frowned slightly. Something felt off. The girl they were talking about was…

“I was moved, but she still had her heart set on the person she loved…” Yang Jinhan picked up his teacup and drank the tea. “Later I thought, as long as she is happy, that’s all that matters, and for me, that’s all I need to do is offer my blessings.”

Le Yao opened her mouth slightly.

Yang Jinhan seemed to know what she was going to say and waved his hand: "But then one time, by some strange twist of fate, I ended up with another girl..." As he spoke, he even pulled at his hair, but unfortunately, he had a buzz cut and couldn't pull it up at all, so he simply rubbed it a couple of times.

Le Yao suddenly burst out laughing.

Yang Jinhan suddenly looked up, seemingly not understanding what she was laughing at.

"Second Young Master, the person you're talking about who used to like me, right?"

"I..." Yang Jinhan's face immediately turned awkward.

“We are indeed on the same path.” Le Yao laughed. “Because I also foresaw how miserable my future would be, so I changed.”

Yang Jinhan looked up at Le Yao in surprise: "You...were dreaming too?"

"More or less." Le Yao tugged at the corner of her mouth. She wasn't dreaming; she was actually reading a book, but she couldn't say that.

"Then why are you still with him..."

"Every effect has a cause, you admit that, right?"

Yang Jinhan nodded.
