In the end, Yan Bo gave in to Tong Xiaohuai's combination of tantrums and coquetry.
Watching her sitting in the back seat, licking her ice cream with a satisfied expression, Yanbo shook his head helplessly.
"Tsk, acting like a child. If our children were like you in the future, it would be a real headache!"
Tong Xiaohuai took another big lick of ice cream, then smiled and held it to Yan Bo's lips. "It's good to be like me. Anyway, you have experience, so you can teach me when the time comes!"
Yan Bo was forced to lick the ice cream. He didn't like sweets or frozen foods to begin with, and he gave her a bitter look. "You really have some self-awareness, acting like a child!"
He complained, but his hand reached out and pinched her cheek affectionately.
"Isn't it good to be like a child? So innocent and cute!" Tong Xiaohuai muttered shamelessly.
Yan Bo stared at her intently, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what she said was indeed true.
Both she and he have very complicated family backgrounds, making it virtually impossible for them to be as innocent and adorable as children.
It is truly admirable that she can maintain this childlike innocence and childlike spirit in such a background and environment.
Moreover, he knew better than anyone that she only ever showed her childlike innocence and childlike wonder to him.
Even in front of her parents, she always maintained the demeanor of a sensible daughter.
Thinking about it this way, Yanbo couldn't help but feel sorry for him again.
His hand moved from her face to her head, gently rubbing it.
"Once you're fully recovered, I'll take you to a dessert shop. Their ice cream and desserts are especially delicious."
Tong Xiaohuai had a ring of white cream around her lips, and her bright eyes stared at him. "Really? You can't go back on your word!"
After saying that, she leaned forward onto the front seat and said to the driver, "Brother Yang, did you hear that? You have to be my witness!"
Brother Yang smiled at her through the rearview mirror, "Okay, if the Third Young Master doesn't admit it, I'll be your witness."
Yanbo pulled the person back and hugged him tightly.
"When have I ever renege on a debt, huh?"
He lowered his head, his tongue gently tracing the circle of cream on her lips, then looked up, smacked his lips, and frowned slightly. "So sweet, so cloying."
Tong Xiaohuai clenched her fist and punched him in the chest, raising her eyelids slightly to scold him, "Don't you dare take advantage of me!"
Yan Bo lowered his head again, and this time, he directly sucked on her lips a few times.
“Baby, I’m just exercising my rights as a boyfriend.” His deep voice whispered in her ear.
Tong Xiaohuai froze, fearing that he would do something even more outrageous in front of Brother Yang, so she quickly raised her hand and dug his face out from under her neck, then pushed him away.
"Don't be so affectionate in front of my classmates later," Tong Xiaohuai warned him in a low voice.
Yanbo chuckled and licked the hand she was using to cover her mouth. "I know you're shy, I'll be careful."
Throughout the entire meeting, Yan Bo never asked her which classmates she had invited. However, being as clever as he was, he could roughly guess who her two classmates were.
After all this time, the only two names that have frequently come out of her mouth are those two.
At 6:50, Yang's car arrived at the south gate of L University.
Tong Xiaohuai peered out the car window a few times, then turned to Yan Bo and said, "They haven't arrived yet. I'll get out and wait for them. You rest here for a while."
Yan Bo insisted on getting off the bus with her, saying, "No, I have to keep an eye on you."
Tong Xiaohuai turned around and glared at him, annoyed. "Please, can you watch me 24/7? I'm not a hundred-dollar bill; not everyone will love me!"
Yan Bo held her hand and stood by the school gate. "In my eyes, you are much more attractive than RMB. And I believe that I am not the only one who appreciates your value."
Tong Xiaohuai found his words sarcastic, so she looked him up and down with amusement. "What? Are you jealous?"
Yan Bo slightly raised his chin. "No way! I'm your boyfriend!"
Although Yanbo is only twenty years old, his mind is already more mature than that of boys his age.
Even though he prided himself on having enough ability and resources to crush Tong Xiaohuai's senior, when he saw the tall, thin boy in a hoodie, jeans, and canvas shoes smiling and waving in his direction, he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
It's not that he didn't have the same youthful years as that boy; it's just that the content of his youth was different from that boy's.
That boy could accompany Tong Xiaohuai to class, help Tong Xiaohuai copy notes, and occasionally invite Tong Xiaohuai to watch basketball games he was involved in.
As for herself, she could only have meals with Tong Xiaohuai, and even going to a movie or shopping occasionally felt like a luxury.
"That boy, is he your senior brother Zeng Xianghuai?" I thought I could face it with a nonchalant smile, but the words that came out of my mouth had a slightly sour taste.
Tong Xiaohuai did not notice his abnormality. She raised her hand to respond to the senior brothers and sisters who greeted her, and usually responded with an "um" as an answer to Yan Bo.
The lights outside the south gate of L University were not very bright, and Xiaomi and Zeng Xianghuai could only see a tall man standing next to Tong Xiaohuai from afar.
"Xiao Mi, is that Xiao Huai's boyfriend?"
Zeng Xianghuai secretly prayed that the man was just Tong Xiaohuai's bodyguard. After all, his physique was not something an ordinary young boy could possess. Even he himself would feel invisible pressure in front of such a man.
"Maybe so, she said she was bringing her boyfriend along."
A hint of sadness flashed in Zeng Xianghuai's eyes. Clearly, it was his note that had touched her, which was why she brought her boyfriend over, hoping to make him back down.
"You haven't seen it before?" Zeng Xianghuai suppressed the sadness in his heart.
"I've never met her, but I've heard her mention her."
When the two walked up to Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo, before Tong Xiaohuai could introduce them, Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghuai exclaimed in unison.
"Teacher Yan?"
Tong Xiaohuai and Yan Bo were both stunned. Then, Yan Bo suddenly remembered the time when he was tricked by Di Xu not long after he arrived in L City.
"Hello, I'm Xiaohuai's boyfriend, Yanbo. Are you the students who listened to my speech last semester?" Yanbo smiled and nodded to the two of them, politely extending his hand.
Xiaomi and Zeng Xianghuai exchanged glances, and then Xiaomi reached out and took Yanbo's hand.
"Professor Yan, you're right. We all listened to your speech that time, and it was wonderful!"
Tong Xiaohuai never expected that Xiao Mi and Zeng Xianghuai had known Yan Bo even before she did.
She looked up at Yan Bo in surprise. "You gave a speech at our school? How come you've never mentioned it?"
Yan Bo smiled at her, "What speech? I was just tricked by your senior brother Di Xu and dragged here to give a speech. I hope your friend won't laugh at me!"
Xiao Mi quickly interjected, "No, that's not true! Teacher Yan, you're too modest. That was the most brilliant, inspiring, and practical lecture we've ever heard since we enrolled, bar none."
