"Back then, I secretly helped my older brother settle a lot of things. If you don't believe me, you can ask the chairman of Rongtian Group. He's your father's best friend."
Tang Zhanhang said with a heavy heart, "My brother was just confused for a moment, please don't blame him. I didn't want to tell you these things, but you're all grown up now and still misunderstand me. If we don't talk it out, our family might turn into enemies. I don't mind being wronged, I'm just worried about Grandpa..."
Hearing his heartfelt voice, Tang Yue almost couldn't resist throwing these things in his face. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes growing redder and redder, and he had to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down. After a long while, he slowly said, "Second Uncle, you go back first, let me be alone for a while."
Tang Zhanhang knew that he was just having a hard time accepting this "fact" for a while, and with a single "Second Uncle," the purpose of his visit had already been achieved.
Finally, not forgetting to maintain his image as a good younger brother and uncle who has endured hardship, he said righteously, "Don't worry, I haven't told the police about these things. I will do my best to protect my brother's reputation."
Shortly after Tang Zhanhang left, a soft "heh" sound echoed in the room, filled with intense anger and hatred.
Tang Yue closed his eyes.
It's okay, let him jump around a little longer.
-
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yu Wan arrived at the hospital carrying a stack of books.
The ward was quiet, with heavy curtains blocking the light from the window. Using the dim light from the corridor, she waited for her eyes to adjust to the darkness before tiptoeing inside.
The man on the hospital bed was fast asleep, his breathing even and deep.
Yu Wan stared at his long and thick eyelashes for a while, her expression suddenly becoming complicated. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Could they be even longer than mine?"
A slight stirring in my heart.
She looked left and right to make sure she wouldn't be caught up in her pretense of maintaining a facade, then casually placed the bag on the table, propped herself up on the bed with her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to trace up and down his eyes with her index finger, finding that it went beyond half a finger joint.
"Tsk, amazing eyelashes!"
Yu Wan thought of this person lying quietly on the bed, letting her do as she pleased, and couldn't help but chuckle softly. She pinched his cheek even more brazenly and continued to say to herself, "Your face is quite fair and tender, but unfortunately, it's not quite as pretty as mine. Your nose is straight, and your lips..."
Some heartbeats are out of control.
I still remember the feeling from the previous times: soft, warm... and sweet.
Yu Wan felt a sudden dryness in her mouth and, as if possessed, leaned in. Just as she was about to kiss him, she was suddenly met by a pair of deep eyes. Those eyes were filled with a deep smile, sparkling with tiny starlight, looking at her gently and attentively. They pierced through the dim light and struck her heart.
"Wanwan, were you just now..." His voice was hoarse from just waking up, sounding even deeper, more magnetic, and incredibly sexy. He deliberately paused, waiting a few seconds before slowly and gently finishing the sentence: "...were you planning to take advantage of me?"
These four words made Yu Wan's ears burn, her body stiffen on the spot, her cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't explain herself at all.
Suddenly, her waist was encircled, and her body leaned downwards.
In the dim light, their intimate posture and faces so close together exuded an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. Especially the hand encircling her waist, which burned so intensely that it made her breath catch in her throat.
Receiving no reply for a long time, Tang Yue smiled slightly and asked patiently, "Hmm?"
The languid voice sent chills down Yu Wan's spine.
Tang Yue placed one hand behind her head.
At the same time, Yu Wan heard the other person's deep chuckle: "I allow you to have designs on me."
-
Ten minutes later.
Yu Wan was lounging casually on the sofa, reading a thick English book. The light shone on her fair skin, making her cherry lips appear even more vibrant red.
Tang Yue's eyes deepened.
Noticing the burning gaze, Yu Wan looked up and glared at the other person fiercely: "Don't speak, go to sleep."
Hmph, this person never says anything nice when he opens his mouth.
"But I can't sleep." Tang Yue smiled and said considerately, "You go about your business and don't worry about me."
Yu Wan: "...Then stop staring at me."
"Why not?" Tang Yue said matter-of-factly, "We signed a contract. It's only natural for a boyfriend to visit his girlfriend."
"..."
"Besides, who told you to be so good-looking?" he said earnestly.
Yu Wan was speechless.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door at that moment.
Tang Yue straightened his clothes and said slowly, "Please come in."
With permission granted, Meng Shen and the others rushed in.
"Hello, Mr. Yue. Hello, Ms. Yu."
"Hello, Master Yue..."
The ward was instantly filled with more than a dozen teenagers, who were bowing slightly and speaking respectfully.
The scene was quite socially conscious.
If we ignore the fact that they were carrying lunchboxes in one hand and small stools in the other...
Tang Yue looked at Yu Wan, puzzled.
"Didn't you say that eating alone is lonely?" Yu Wan slightly raised her delicate chin: "Before you are discharged from the hospital, they will eat with you every day."
The group of spoiled brats smiled.
Tang Yue: "..." No, he just wanted to have dinner with Yu Wan.
"Uncle Yue, let me set up the table for you. Aunt Chen prepared these dishes all afternoon." Meng Shen held up the insulated food container in his hand. "If I hadn't tried my best to stop her, Aunt Chen would have come over herself. You have no idea, she questioned me for two whole hours about your illness. Luckily, I ran away quickly, otherwise I would have been exposed."
Tang Yue was stunned, his eyes unreadable. Aunt Chen was just a stranger he'd known for less than a month, yet she had managed to go to such lengths. And Tang Zhanhang? They even shared the same blood, yet he wasn't even willing to put on a show.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes, exactly the ones he had ordered that afternoon. Considering his high fever, there was also a bowl of old chicken soup.
Yu Wan put down the original book and was about to go eat when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "You guys eat first, I'll go out and take this call."
The call was from Rong Yun, who specifically inquired about the exam bet.
It turns out that what happened that morning was posted on the school forum, instantly generating a huge buzz and causing a great uproar. Some students even started a debate thread, with less than 1% betting on Yu Wan to win, 97% expressing skepticism, and only 2% remaining neutral.
These were purely for entertainment and had no real impact. However, some posts took the opportunity to stir up trouble, with "Yu Wan paid money to get a spot in the 3T Challenge" and "Rong Yun used connections" becoming the most popular hashtags. Because this involved issues of fairness in educational resources, it sparked a joint protest from students, forcing the school to take the matter very seriously.
A moment of silence.
"...The principal wants to question me now?" Yu Wan glanced at her watch. "Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour."
