"I will find the right opportunity..."

Wen Chenlu silently thought to herself.

This woman actually did that kind of thing to the young master...

That was something that should have been done by the four sisters.

Unforgivable... Absolutely unforgivable.

Wen Chenlu kept this incident in mind. In addition to saving Xia Che's life, this follow-up also allowed her to witness the intimate scene between the two in the car.

It seems my intuition was right.

Yu Shiyue must be the one Xia Che likes!

Now that it's been decided, we need to resolve this problem completely before Yu Shiyue leaves...

Wen Chenlu was plotting something in her heart.

Suddenly, Yu Shiyue, who was walking next to Xia Che, felt a cold wind blow on the back of her neck, making her shiver.

"Strange, why do I feel a little cold?"

Yu Shiyue rubbed her arms, completely baffled.

I was wearing a jacket, and the temperature in Jiang City hadn't dropped to the point where I'd feel cold even with a jacket on.

But that chill you felt just now wasn't fake; for a moment, it felt like winter had arrived...

"The mountain is deserted, with little shelter, and there's probably a cold wind..."

Xia Che didn't think much of it, after all, it was already quite late since they had come up the mountain.

It's normal to feel cold.

"Too……"

Yu Shiyue looked up at the sky filled with countless stars and sighed, "It's already so late..."

"uh-huh."

Xia Che casually replied and walked down the mountain side by side with the two women.

There was no one at the bus stop, only a bus, but Xia Che didn't have an A3 driver's license, so he really couldn't handle this big guy.

After thinking about it, I realized that since I was already here, and it would only take a little longer to reach the foot of the mountain, there was no need to go through all that trouble.

I treated it as a walk.

As for the boxing champion and Snake Brother...

It's still lying on the ground.

It's estimated that we won't be able to see it until tomorrow morning when tourists come up the mountain.

Or they might be lucky, and the boxer with the least serious injuries might wake up first and leave with Snake.

This is not something Xia Che should be considering.

They wanted their lives, and Xia Che was already being very kind by not killing them; he wouldn't go so far as to call an ambulance for them.

Dead or alive...

It depends on their fate.

The three chatted idly, mainly about the unexpected assassination attempt that night.

"By the way, your eyes were pretty scary back then, like a crazy person who was willing to risk everything."

Xia Che smiled, recalling Yu Shiyue telling him, word by word, that she wanted to live, her strong expression, and her eyes that looked like a lion driven to the brink of despair, determined to fight to the death.

"Really? ...Am I that scary?"

Yu Shiyue rolled her eyes at Xia Che, annoyed.

Xia Che chuckled lightly, neither refuting nor agreeing. Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "By the way... what did you mean by what you said back then?"

"Those words? Oh...you mean those?"

Yu Shiyue was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what Xia Che was talking about.

"Hmm, saying things like they've had enough of those days, but speaking of which... I've always wanted to ask you something: what's the situation with your family? Why was Brother Yue so restricted, and now it seems like you are too?"

Xia Che looked at Yu Shiyue intently; this was the first time he had inquired about the Yu family's situation.

According to the description, the family environment was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating...

What exactly is going on?

Xia Che had only heard of the Yu family, but had never learned anything about them.

They are said to be a very prestigious family, but their actual strength is not that great; they are just respected and have many titles.

The Yu family is just a large family in the eyes of ordinary people. In front of a true super family, they are no different from ordinary people.

After all, before the Xia family fell from grace, the original owner of this body was a true young master with a broad vision and high social standing. How could he possibly have noticed a small family like the Yu family?

"Finally asked? I was wondering how long you could keep it up."

Yu Shiyue tilted her head slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Yu Shiyue had been waiting for Xia Che to ask her this question ever since he approached her.

It seems Xia Che has good upbringing; he knows these are rather private questions, so he hasn't asked them.

but……

Having been through so much together, Yu Shiyue felt that telling him wouldn't be a big deal.

"You should know that the Yu family has a very strict family tradition. They are a famous scholarly family. Our Yu family members either become teachers, stay in academia to pursue doctoral degrees, and stay in academia for their entire lives, or... they go into the arts. In short, they must be involved in these things."

“Born into such an environment, I inevitably picked up some of those traits, but of course… I discarded them all when I moved to Lishi Quyuan.”

“We, the children of the Yu family, are not allowed to have our own ideals. All future plans are made at the moment of birth. During the 100-day celebration, whatever the child picks up determines the direction he will take from now on.”

Yu Shiyue said calmly, "Of course, this method is unreliable after all, so after the child grows up a little, we will conduct another test to see which area he is talented in."

“Those with a talent for painting are sent to study under famous painters. Their training begins from a young age, and they will surely become famous painting geniuses in the future. Those with a talent for music follow the same procedure… In the arts, children born into the Yu family must excel in at least one of the four arts.”

“The Yu family has produced so-called outstanding children like an assembly line. In the art and literature circles, our family’s status is getting higher and higher. So many people respect our family and think that we are indifferent to fame and fortune… In my opinion, the Yu family only values ​​empty fame over profit. They value empty fame more than money.”

"But there have always been exceptions over the years. Occasionally, a few good-for-nothings will appear, who have no talent in any industry. Then... their status in the Yu family will be so low that it's outrageous. They will be forcibly sent to a school known for its military-style training to study like crazy. This way, at least they can get a good score in the college entrance examination and get into a decent university, so that they won't disgrace the Yu family."

Yu Shiyue looked at Xia Che, her exquisite features serene.

Xia Che had never seen Yu Shiyue like this before.

Ever since I met her, this girl has been synonymous with the word "abstract".

Perhaps it was at this moment that she revealed some of the qualities of a member of the Yu family.

"Xia Che, let me ask you... if you were in the shoes of such a so-called family, how would you feel?"

Yu Shiyue asked softly.
