Chapter 68 (End of Text)
◎ "Yang Xueyi, happy birthday. I love you."◎
Fortunately, the conversation inside the glass door finally came to an end. Yang Xueyi heard the sound of chair legs moving on the ground. They were getting up to come out.
Yang Xueyi immediately ran back to the sofa in the living room, put on a relaxed and calm attitude, picked up a book from the coffee table, and pretended to read it seriously.
Sure enough, the next second, the glass door opened and Ms. Yang Meiying pushed the door open and walked out. Following behind her was the tall and long-legged Ying Yun. He walked past Ms. Yang Meiying and smiled at Yang Xueyi, giving her a reassuring hint with a look that said "it's done".
But Yang Xueyi couldn't really relax, because the next moment, Ms. Yang Meiying stared at her and called her over to chat...
This is a rotating interrogation...
"Xiao Yun told me that he was the one who took the initiative to pursue you?"
Talking to Yang Xueyi, Yang Meiying's attitude relaxed considerably. She lowered her voice, "It sounds like he doesn't know about your 'Secret Love Diary'. Mom didn't tell him. You should be more careful and don't talk about it. All men are like that. You have to treat him like a donkey, dangling a carrot in front of his eye, but don't give it to him. Just keep him anticipating it."
"You want him to be unable to guess how you feel about him, to be anxious about gains and losses, so that he can be more devoted. If he knew you'd been secretly in love with him for so long, wouldn't he be overjoyed? Then he'd feel like he could easily control you, and he'd be less interested in you. Do you understand?"
Yang Xueyi was surprised by Ms. Yang Meiying's advice. "Mom, didn't you always praise Ying Yun all the time, saying how he was different from other boys? Why are you teaching me how to deal with him now?"
Yang Xueyi, in a playful mood, couldn't help but tease him, saying sarcastically, "Don't you treat him like half a son? Is it really okay for you to let me plot against your son like this?"
Ms. Yang Meiying then argued, "If I continue to be his son, how can you two continue to be in love? Is that ethically tenable?"
She rolled her eyes at Yang Xueyi and said, "Of course everything is fine with him if he's not dating you. After all, he's someone else's child. If there's anything wrong with him, it's none of my business. But it's different if he's dating you! I still have to carefully examine him. Even if he's only my half son, I can't take it lightly! After all, he's only my half son, and you're my whole daughter."
All daughters.
Yang Xueyi's eyes felt swollen and sore for no reason.
In the past, Yang Meiying was always generous with her praise for Ying Yun, and rarely expressed her care for Yang Xueyi so directly. Most of the time, Yang Xueyi received excessive tension and discipline from her, which made her feel resentful and unwilling.
Over the past ten years, she had been jealous of Ying Yun, and had taken her anger out on him because of Yang Meiying's partiality. She had been dissatisfied and upset, and always felt that Yang Meiying was more like Ying Yun's mother than her own mother.
However, at this moment, looking at Yang Meiying who was thinking about her wholeheartedly, Yang Xueyi realized for the first time that her mother was just an ordinary mother.
Like thousands of other mothers, Yang Meiying probably loves Yang Xueyi, but her way of expressing it may not be perfect. She still uses the traditional, old-fashioned repressive education method. She is tolerant of other people's children and can see their strengths, but she is strict with her own children. Because she cares too much, she even becomes almost mean. She always thinks that praising will make her child proud, so for the so-called encouragement, she is always reluctant to praise her own child, as if she is afraid that she will feel too good about herself and all her efforts will be wasted.
Yang Xueyi had complicated feelings.
Yang Meiying had no idea what Yang Xueyi was thinking, so she continued, "I just talked to Xiaoyun. He was quite sincere, but I'm still a little worried. Why did he break up with his previous girlfriend? Didn't you praise her to the skies? How can you say she's not good enough? That girl sounded very good to me."
She muttered uneasily, "He chose such a good girl and abandoned her to come to you. Why does it sound so much like a scam? Xiaoyun doesn't owe money from online gambling, right?"
“…”
Yang Xueyi couldn't hold it in any longer: "Didn't you just say that I'm your only daughter? How can choosing me be a scam? Others are still bald-headed and claiming their own goodness. Mom, are you really my real mother? Am I good enough? It's only natural that Ying Yun likes me!"
"Okay, I'm just kidding. I haven't finished yet." Yang Meiying rubbed her brows and smiled a rare smile. "What I'm really worried about is that such a good girl broke up with Xiaoyun. Is there something wrong with Xiaoyun?"
"You know, men always try to whitewash things. Those men who divorced due to domestic violence, when they go back to the blind market and explain their marriage history, they basically put the blame on their ex-wives. Although Xiaoyun didn't say anything wrong about his ex, I'm worried that it was because of him that the other girl couldn't stand the breakup..."
Yang Xueyi looked at Yang Meiying's conflicted expression and almost wanted to laugh out loud.
Unexpectedly, the situation changes and Ying Yun is also suspected so strongly by Ms. Yang Meiying.
If it were in the past, Yang Xueyi would definitely take advantage of the situation and attack Ying Yun thoroughly, both openly and covertly, but she had no choice but to do so because she and Ying Yun were now in the same boat.
In order to protect her own opinion, Yang Xueyi could only grit her teeth and attack herself: "Then there shouldn't be any problem with Ying Yun. Actually, after getting to know Ying Yun's ex-girlfriend more, I found that she wasn't that good either."
"What's wrong?"
"He's very pretentious!"
Yang Xueyi racked her brains: "She has a bad temper! She's so spoiled, she can't sleep and needs Ying Yun to coax her every night! Ying Yun is already very busy as a doctor, and if I go to her place, I'll have to wash the dishes for her after a day's work! Ying Yun also has to take out the trash!"
"She also likes to criticize Ying Yun. Anyway, she has never held Ying Yun in high esteem. Whenever she thinks of him and feels bad, she will scold him. Ying Yun never talks back and can only endure it."
"He's not very hardworking and always procrastinates."
Yang Xueyi calmed herself down and said seriously, "Although I thought she was nice at first, I later found out she was just pretending. After a while, her true nature was exposed. It was normal for Ying Yun to break up with her when he realized she wasn't that good. Besides, with someone as outstanding as me as a role model, it made sense for Ying Yun to finally turn to the light..."
"Besides, she's not as pretty as me, and she doesn't have a good figure like me. Food and sex are human nature, and Ying Yun is also a human being, so of course she's lustful. It's normal for her to like what I like and be unable to extricate herself."
Yang Xueyi rambled on for a while, and then when she came to her senses, she realized that Ms. Yang Meiying not only didn't relax her frown, but was even more worried: "Xiaoxue..."
She looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated: "But this girl sounds like she has a similar personality to you... You've often ordered Xiaoyun to do this and that..."
Yang Xueyi choked.
Fortunately, Ms. Yang Meiying didn't think much of it. She just looked a little puzzled: "Could it be that Xiaoyun likes this? Maybe he just wants to be scolded and controlled? He likes being abused? Is this a trend among you guys?"
Yang Xueyi: "..." That's not the case, Ying Yun isn't that mean...
Yang Meiying sighed, "Mom is old and can't understand you young people anymore. Anyway, since you like Xiaoyun so much and have liked her for ten years, it's good now. It can be considered that you have got what you wanted. Xiaoyun is a good child overall, and we have known him well over the years."
"The only thing that bothers me is that he has had some previous relationships..."
"Mom, do you mind that Ying Yun isn't a virgin?"
Yang Meiying glared at Yang Xueyi and said, "I'm not that old-fashioned. This is not a big deal."
"How is it not a big deal? If I were like him and no longer a virgin, would you be so calm?"
Yang Meiying didn't say anything, staring at Yang Xueyi, and became a little nervous again: "Are you no longer?"
Her posture was so tense that Yang Xueyi immediately came to her senses. But just as she was about to lie and shake her head, she saw Ms. Yang Meiying relax first.
She apologized to Yang Xueyi: "Mom is too nosy. This is your privacy. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. You are still my daughter."
"I'm just too worried about you... You're so beautiful, but I don't have any money. I can't even find you a good father to protect you. I'm worried that you'll be deceived and your life will be ruined. Beauty isn't necessarily a good thing for a family like ours."
Ms. Yang Meiying lowered her eyes and said, "Fortunately, you grew up well."
"During the earthquake, I thought a lot. Because of my discipline, you've lived a very conventional life for the past 25 years. You haven't even had a romantic relationship. If you had had an accident in Africa back then, you would have had so many regrets in your life."
"We used to live in Mr. Ying's house. I always hoped you would be more sensible so that they would all be satisfied. I was afraid that if I lost my job, I wouldn't be able to find an employer willing to take us in. So I was always trying to please others, and as a result, I made many excessive demands on you."
"Mom was really too harsh on you before. I won't do that anymore."
"Now that we have our own house, we don't have to live in fear of other people's feelings anymore."
"Just do whatever you want to do. Mom supports you no matter what."
"If you want to date Ying Yun, then go ahead and do it. There's no need to rush into it. Just date him normally. You and he are equals."
"If you don't like him anymore, feel that you are not suitable for each other, and want to break up, then dump him."
Ms. Yang Meiying said this with a bit of embarrassment: "I care about his past relationships, not because I want to pry into his privacy. It's just that for a guy his age, having tried meat, it's hard to go back to being a vegetarian. You should be careful. Although you're dating, you're not really ready for marriage. Girls should protect themselves. Do you understand what I mean?"
I understand, but it's useless because I've completely disobeyed...
Ms. Yang Meiying was completely oblivious: "But Xiaoyun just told me that he's planning to buy a house and will move out soon. I can see that this child is still steady and respects you."
Yang Xueyi: "..." It's all just pretending... Believe it or not, he can still stay back at night after moving out...
"But even though he has a stable job and should have no problem paying off the mortgage after buying a house, you still have to be sensible. He wants to save face, so if you see he's running low on money, just support him a little, okay? You've known each other for so many years, and even if things don't work out in the future, you can still be friends. When he moves, help him with the arrangements, and take a look at the house he bought."
With Ms. Yang Meiying's care, Yang Xueyi finally remembered that her mother seemed to be unaware that Ying Yun's current biological father was a hundred times richer than the original one.
Yang Xue wanted to explain why Ying Yun had difficulty repaying the loan and did not have enough money, but she really didn't know where to start. She was afraid that if she explained, she would only have more questions. In particular, Ms. Yang Meiying didn't seem to care much about Ying Yun's family situation and did not mention any concerns about his family's decline. So she simply gave up explaining this difficult problem.
Anyway, things will work out when we get to the bridge. We’ll talk about the future later!
Keep the simple things for yourself and leave the difficult things to Ying Yun.
**
However, because Ying Yun pretended to be a good person in front of his mother, in order to give himself extra points, he claimed that he could take Ms. Yang Meiying and Yang Xueyi to see the wedding house they wanted to buy tonight.
Ms. Yang Meiying may have felt that the speed was a bit too fast, so she stepped on the brakes, saying that she had something else to do and just asked the young people to go and check it out themselves.
Yang Xueyi had no choice but to follow Ying Yun and pretend to go see the house that he claimed he wanted to buy right away.
"Ying Yun, do you have any moral bottom line? What about the house you're about to buy? My mom thought you were really going to pay off the mortgage!"
Yang Meiying didn't know, but Yang Xueyi knew very well that the apartment Ying Yun wanted to take her to was actually the one his mother had prepared for him a long time ago.
However, Ying Yun showed no shame: "I didn't lie. This apartment was originally under my mother's name. It really needed to be transferred to me, and I did plan to use it as a wedding house."
"It's just that I don't have a mortgage." Ying Yun's voice was calm, "But Aunt Yang didn't ask. So I didn't say anything."
Yang Xueyi couldn't help but complain in her heart again. What kind of vision does her mother have? The most lying and questionable man has been living under her nose for more than ten years. It's true that the darkest place is under the lamp.
"Then why didn't you live in your mother's house when you left Mr. Ying's villa?"
"The house was renovated many years ago, and it was very crude. Many parts are aging and need repair. If I want to live in it, I need to renovate it and buy all the furniture again. Plus, it's too far from the hospital. I don't need to live in such a big house by myself. It's more economical to rent a house."
How long does it take to renovate a house?
Yang Xueyi didn't understand at first, but when she saw the single-family villas with gardens of several hundred square meters in front of her, she was stunned and speechless.
Renovating a house like this is indeed a huge undertaking and it is simply unrealistic to complete it in a short period of time.
"Would you like to take a tour?"
Now that I'm here, of course I'll take a look around.
However, before opening the door, Ying Yun asked Yang Xueyi to wait at the door.
Yang Xueyi couldn't help but tease, "What's the matter? Are you going in to hide something first? Are you afraid there's something I can't see?"
"Yang Xueyi."
Ying Yun called out Yang Xueyi's name, a little helplessly: "No one has been in this house for a long time, and it's very dusty. There's a smell in a house that's been unused for a long time with the doors and windows closed. I'll go in and open the windows to ventilate first, and then you can come in."
He looked into Yang Xueyi's eyes: "I have nothing to hide from you."
Yang Xueyi felt a little embarrassed being stared at, so she had to look away. Fortunately, Ying Yun did not make things difficult for her. He just looked at her reproachfully twice, then entered the electronic password and entered the room first.
Ten minutes later, he reappeared at the door: "Come in, there's no smell anymore."
This was the first time Yang Xueyi stepped into such an empty house.
The house was very dark.
“No one lives there, so there’s no water or electricity.”
Knowing that Yang Xueyi was afraid of the dark, Ying Yun took her hand and turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone.
Under the dim light, Yang Xueyi could see that there seemed to be only a table in the huge living room, without even a chair. However, there was no unpleasant smell as Ying Yun had said. Instead, there was a fresh fragrance of flowers in the air.
Before Yang Xueyi came in, she saw a solitary wintersweet in full bloom in the courtyard, with a few plum blossoms scattered in the corner.
Was it because it rained a few days ago? So when I opened the window, the air from the garden outside wafted in, a mixture of the scent of fresh soil and some other floral scents.
Ying Yun held Yang Xueyi's hand and stood in the living room on the first floor. He asked her casually, "What do you think of this house?"
What else can I do? Of course it’s great.
It’s so big, located in a wealthy area, and it’s a detached house. How can some people be so lucky?
Yang Xueyi felt jealous and was about to speak, but Ying Yun took the initiative and interrupted her.
His tone lost its usual calmness, becoming a little nervous, and his tone became noticeably faster, as if he had practiced it privately many times, with a sense of trepidation that he had to say it all in one breath.
"Yang Xueyi, if you think this house is okay and you don't mind, can you live with me in it in the future?"
Almost at the moment Ying Yun opened his mouth, he turned off the flashlight on his phone. Yang Xueyi's eyes were briefly dark for a second, and the next moment, as if the stars in the sky were lit up, her eyes became bright again.
When she looked up, she realized that what Ying Yun said about there being no water or electricity was at least half false.
Above her head was a beautiful string of lights winding across the entire ceiling, like a cluster of stars in the night sky.
The moment Ying Yun finished speaking, the light was lit up, and the bright and soft light came into Yang Xueyi's eyes, like a bouquet of flowers suddenly blooming in front of her.
Under the star-like night lights, Yang Xueyi finally realized the source of the floral scent.
It wasn't the wintersweet or plum blossoms in the yard, but because Ying Yun filled the living room with roses, like a sea of flowers, pink and red, all blooming freely.
Ying Yun's voice was low, and he explained patiently, "I know sending flowers is a bit old-fashioned and uncreative, but I'm not being careless. I know you don't like discounted, stale flowers."
"So these are imported roses that were just flown in that day."
"I didn't manage to send you flowers before, but I want to now."
"Happy birthday, Yang Xueyi."
The scattered lights cast mottled shadows on Ying Yun's face. His voice was as cold as ever, but his expression was gentle.
"Today is your lunar birthday, have you forgotten?"
Ying Yun looked into Yang Xueyi's eyes and said, "I know you don't have the habit of celebrating your lunar birthday, but I want to celebrate it for you."
Yang Xueyi looked at him and asked, "So you don't celebrate your birthday according to the lunar calendar?"
"Yes."
"From now on, we'll come twice a year."
Ying Yun's tone was calm, but there was a hint of melancholy at the end of his voice: "I have missed too many of your birthdays. I can only make it up to you if I celebrate twice a year."
"When I was eighteen, I was too proud. Just because of a few casual words you said, I stubbornly decided to stay away from you. I was afraid that you would find out about my feelings and laugh at me. So I became even worse. I was always mean to you, saying things you didn't want to hear. In the end, I missed you for ten years."
"Looking back now, if I had become mute, I wouldn't have had to take a detour with you for ten years."
"But I'm glad that it's still me standing in front of you."
"Yang Xueyi, happy twenty-sixth birthday."
In the brightly lit sky, Ying Yun handed something to Yang Xueyi.
Yang Xueyi lowered her head and saw clearly what it was.
It's the out-of-print book "The Last Summer".
"I want to give you the gift I should have given you when you were fifteen."
Because of its age, the cover of the book has taken on the scent of time and the paper has turned a little yellow.
Yang Xueyi took it, opened it, and saw on the title page the blessing that eighteen-year-old Ying Yun left for her -
"Happy birthday, Yang Xueyi! I hope you will be happy every day and forever!"
Unlike those doctors who wrote prescriptions that were completely incomprehensible, Ying Yun's handwriting was beautiful, powerful and clear. However, perhaps there was something wrong with the pen and ink he used, but this line of blessing had gradually faded with the baptism of time and became a little blurry, like the feelings that Ying Yun had at the time but were ignored by Yang Xueyi.
But the cover of "The Last Summer" even has a plastic cover, which shows that it is well protected.
Yang Xueyi opened the book and saw the envelope that fell out.
Ying Yun glanced at the envelope and felt a little uncomfortable, but he still confessed: "This was also a love letter I wanted to put in the book to give you. I wrote it for a long time. At that time, I thought it was very sincere and heartfelt, comparable to a literary giant. But when I opened it and reviewed it a few days ago, I realized that it was quite stupid."
"It was all from my own perspective, talking about how much I wanted to be with you, how much I wanted to date you, and how happy I would be to be your boyfriend. I even wishfully wrote about my distress over discovering my past life and shared it with you. I didn't care at all whether you wanted to know this secret or whether you'd be troubled by it. From your perspective, the entire letter seemed to show no benefit from dating me."
"So it's very likely that even if I handed it to you at that time, you would still reject me."
Ying Yun even wrote down the secret that he might not be Mr. Ying’s biological son in a love letter?
Yang Xueyi was at a loss for words. "Ying Yun, what kind of person would confess their love and tell others about their life story? If you were abducted as a child and now have a wealthy father, it would be fine if you shared it, but why did you share the information that you are a fake young master with me? Aren't you afraid that I will see that you are at risk of being kicked out of the Ying family in the future and reject you three times on the spot?"
"I don't think you will."
Ying Yun looked away: "Looking back at this love letter, I think this might be the only plus point. Maybe you'll feel pity for me and forgive me. If you pity me enough, you'll just agree to it."
"You want all the pitiful love you have?"
Ying Yun's answer was quite specious: "That's love, no matter what the reason is."
Yang Xueyi was also very curious about what he said and wanted to open the envelope and read this long-lost love letter on the spot.
However, Ying Yun stopped her first: "Look at it later. I feel embarrassed to look at it in front of me."
"Excuse me, can you give it back to me?"
Ying Yun seemed a little embarrassed when he said this, but he continued: "You said you wanted to read it last time, so I decided to give it to you. After all, this love letter should have been given to you. I don't want to hide anything from you."
"That's right, it was originally given to me, so now it's back to its rightful owner, right?" Yang Xueyi held the envelope containing Ying Yun's love letter when she was eighteen, her heart beating so fast it still seemed unreal. "This is at least proof that you liked me when you were eighteen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have believed it. You were always cold to me back then, so how could you have fallen in love with me? Do you really like me?"
"I really like it."
"Yang Xueyi, don't you ever look in the mirror yourself?"
"I was eighteen years old. Because of my upbringing and the death of my dog, who had grown up with me, coupled with puberty, my personality changed drastically. People disliked dogs. I knew I had a bad temper back then. Even my mother, though she seemed patient with me, actually had a lot of complaints about my personality at the time. I heard her on the phone with her best friend several times saying that her son's account was ruined..."
"Maybe she was just joking, but I thought I was adopted at the time. It was actually very painful to hear such words. I felt that I had been abandoned by my biological parents once, and I might be abandoned by my adoptive parents as well."
"When I was 18, I felt like the sky was falling. I had all sorts of crazy thoughts and felt insecure. I also felt guilty towards my parents, thinking I wasn't good enough and that was why I let them down."
"Looking back now, I was really stupid for being so immersed in the unknown pain of youth. Is there anything I couldn't talk to my parents about directly?"
"I don't know why my 18-year-old brain circuits and thinking structure were so stubborn. I just know that at the time I felt like the whole world owed me. I felt wronged and depressed, but I couldn't vent to my parents."
"Then you came. You were the only one who tolerated my bad temper and personality, and you were more patient with me than even my parents. I said such harsh words, but you still greeted me with a smile, making me feel like the most tolerant and kind person in the world."
"People are all made of flesh and blood, Yang Xueyi. Your arrival at the age of fifteen gave me an outlet for my emotions. Your tolerance also made me slowly realize the problem of losing control of my emotions, and I began to adjust. You seemed like someone who would always be there waiting for me. I began to slowly comfort myself and slowly correct myself. In fact, before your birthday, my attitude towards you had softened a lot. I was still not very enthusiastic simply because I was shy. I don't know how I transitioned from being such a bad person in the past to smiling and welcoming you, so I pretended to be very calm and cool. In fact, I really want to chat with you more and want to see you smile."
"It's natural for me to like you. You're so beautiful and have such a good personality."
"Oh..." Yang Xueyi said a little sourly, "And then you realized that I have a bad personality, right?"
"No. I treated you like that, so it's normal for you to hate me. But at the time, I couldn't accept it. I felt like I was being betrayed. At eighteen, I really didn't know my place. I thought it was normal for you to be nice to me. It was hard for me to accept failure."
Ying Yun glanced at Yang Xueyi and said, "If I were the me now, I wouldn't be so stupid. I treated you like that, and you still greeted me with a smile. Unless you wanted to sell me health supplements or trick me into joining a scam, it's definitely not normal."
“You know that, too.”
"I found out a little late, but Yang Xueyi, it's not too late now."
"I was too late to wish fifteen-year-old Yang Xueyi a happy birthday, but fortunately I managed to wish twenty-six-year-old Yang Xueyi a happy birthday."
"I will accompany you through every birthday in the future."
"because I love you."
"Whether you're fifteen or twenty-six, Yang Xueyi, I love you."
"If I could travel back in time to the eighteen-year-old me, even if you hated me, ridiculed me, and laughed at me, no matter if your smile to me was sincere or fake, I would still want to be with you. I would also be willing to give you the book you want, send you a love letter that might make you laugh out loud, and then crawl at your feet, waiting for you to love me."
"I will change all those aspects of my personality that have disgusted you."
Yang Xueyi held "The Last Summer" and the love letter from the 18-year-old Ying Yun in her hand, and looked at the 28-year-old Ying Yun in front of her, who had become more mature and handsome than before. She had an illusion that she had traveled through time and distance and returned to the past.
Eighteen-year-old Ying Yun is proud, cold, rebellious and has a bad mouth.
Fifteen-year-old Yang Xueyi is self-conscious, nervous and sensitive.
Even if two hedgehogs are attracted to each other, they cannot put down their spines and get close to each other for warmth. But 28-year-old Ying Yun and Yang Xueyi, who is about to turn 26, can.
Having let go of their childish and self-contained "self-esteem", and discarded their excessive pride that kept others at a distance, and possessing a confident and stable inner core, they can finally embrace each other tightly, no longer worrying about having to occupy a dominant position and the upper hand in the relationship, and can express their love to each other frankly.
If you truly love someone, you don’t care whether you are humble or not, because if you give love, you will also receive love, and the person who is loved will never be humble.
The atmosphere was obviously warm, Ying Yun was very gentle, and the light above her head was also warm, but Yang Xueyi wanted to cry for no reason.
When she said those angry words on that embarrassing and sensitive birthday of fifteen, she never imagined that she would end up like this.
I have a high-paying job that I like, that is valuable, and that I want to work hard for, my own house, a decent social status, and Ying Yun's unconditional love.
When she was a teenager and lived with her mother under someone else's roof, Yang Xueyi once thought she was a little girl more pitiful than Cinderella. However, she now realized that even in her darkest moments, there was actually someone who secretly loved her.
She didn't say anything, but Ying Yun spoke first. He handed a key to Yang Xueyi: "It's the storage room on the first floor. Go and take a look."
"Yang Xueyi, this is my last secret from you."
Under the light, Ying Yun's eyes were serious and solemn: "Yang Xueyi, open the door, I really have no secrets from you anymore."
What's in the storage room?
Yang Xueyi took the key and almost subconsciously walked to the door of the spacious storage room. She inserted the key into the lock, turned it gently, and pushed the door open. The voice-activated light inside the door lit up in an instant, illuminating everything in the room.
In the storage room, there is a huge display cabinet filled with all kinds of stuff——
There are brand-name bags that were popular in previous years, trendy blind boxes, plush dolls, mobile phone cases, women's watches, and even some hairpins of various shapes...
Yang Xueyi turned around and saw Ying Yun leaning against the door of the storage room, looking at her.
It was like a huge fairy tale dream. Yang Xueyi was afraid of waking herself from her sweet dream, so she subconsciously softened her voice: "Did you buy it for me?"
"Yeah." Ying Yun still stared at Yang Xueyi, but his expression became a little awkward. "Sometimes when I go shopping, if I see something I think you'd like, I'll buy it subconsciously."
"But after I bought it, I thought about how much you still hated me, so I never gave it away. I kept it in the cupboard in my room when I lived in the villa. Maybe it was because I subconsciously always felt that one day we would repair our relationship, so I bought it like a pathology. I didn't want you to know because I felt embarrassed, so I didn't allow you to enter my room."
No wonder Ying Yun was furious when Yang Xueyi entered the room, as if his bottom line had been touched.
It turns out that this was to hide these.
"We moved out of the villa and had no place to put it, so we moved it here."
"Although some of these bags are out of season, I still want to give them to you."
Ying Yun smiled and said, "After all, I'm missing all the gifts for your fifteenth to twenty-fifth birthdays. I don't know if these are enough for you."
"It's not enough." Yang Xueyi's eyes were a little hot, but she still shook her head vigorously with principle, "Ying Yun, you have to compensate me more. Don't think that buying these bags can get rid of me. I have already received material compensation, but can't I sue for emotional compensation?"
Ying Yun's expression was a little helpless. Compared to when he was eighteen, the twenty-eight-year-old seemed to have grown into a mature, steady, and good-tempered man. He glanced at Yang Xueyi and said softly, "What request of yours have I not agreed to?"
Yang Xueyi really couldn't help it and wanted to bring up the past. She felt that she could easily give a bunch of examples to refute and accuse Ying Yun. However, just as she was about to open her mouth, she felt nauseous. Although she finally managed not to vomit, she retched several times while holding onto the wall.
If it were in the past, Yang Xueyi would never care, most likely because of insomnia, lack of sleep, or stomach upset, but now...
She only felt her scalp tingling, and she couldn't care less about bringing up Ying Yun's past. Her face turned pale with fear, and she subconsciously grabbed Ying Yun's hand.
"Ying Yun...could it be..."
Since then, Yang Xueyi began to comfort herself: "No, it's impossible."
She and Ying Yun always used condoms, so how could she possibly get pregnant? She was probably just scaring herself...
But when I think about it, my period is indeed delayed this month, but I didn't think much of it before because of the African earthquake. I thought it was an endocrine imbalance caused by stress and huge changes...
However, just as Yang Xueyi was about to force a smile to brainwash herself that she would not be so unlucky, Ying Yun brought up something irrelevant. He gently put his arm around Yang Xueyi's waist, as if he was measuring whether her waistline had changed.
Although her waist was still slender and could be held in one hand, Ying Yun looked at Yang Xueyi and lowered his voice: "Yang Xueyi, are you pregnant?"
Normally, when the girl in a couple finds out she is pregnant, the boy would either be shocked or surprised. However, Ying Yun's face was calm, as if he had expected this development.
Yang Xueyi felt nauseous again and was so angry that she felt dizzy: "Ying Yun! Did you puncture the condom? Otherwise, how could I get pregnant? You look so shrewd and calculating, as if you had planned it all along! If I'm pregnant, it must be your fault!"
Ying Yun was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected to be accused in this way. After a moment, he looked at Yang Xueyi helplessly: "Yang Xueyi, are you reasonable?"
"Condoms don't guarantee 100% protection from pregnancy."
"Didn't you claim to be an adult and have a mature knowledge of physiology?" He looked helpless with Yang Xueyi. "I thought this was common sense."
"I'm not going to do anything like puncture a condom."
"Then how come you're not surprised at all?"
"I'm not surprised simply because I've considered all the possibilities." He looked away somewhat unnaturally. "When I thought you didn't like me and only wanted to maintain that kind of relationship with me and wouldn't be with me, I also thought that if you got pregnant, would you consider dating me? Would I have a chance?"
"Because I've thought about this possibility, I've also simulated the contingency plan for this possibility."
Yang Xueyi almost fainted, but she felt shy and blushed: "Why don't you think of something?"
While he usually works hard with a sullen face, it turns out that this man is actually thinking about this kind of thing!
It’s true that you can never judge a person by his appearance!
"Yang Xueyi, condoms can't really prevent pregnancy 100%. It's normal for you to get pregnant. We've done it so many times."
Could Ying Yun please shut up?!
If she wasn't still feeling nauseous, Yang Xueyi really wanted to jump up and poison Ying Yun to silence him.
"It's over now!" She had a headache and just wanted to curse Ying Yun to death, "I just finished acting in front of my mom, saying that we had just started dating and it would be fine now, and she's pregnant right away? What if I go to the hospital and take a test and it turns out I'm already a month pregnant? What will I say then?"
Yang Xueyi looked at Ying Yun, anxious and angry: "Didn't you just say there was a contingency plan? Then tell me, what is the contingency plan?"
"I'll go confess to Aunt Yang." Ying Yun gently but forcefully held Yang Xueyi's hand. "Although I didn't break the condom, it was indeed my fault that you got pregnant."
"I will take responsibility and explain this to Aunt Yang."
"As for whether you want this child or not, I respect that."
Ying Yun's tone was gentle, and he really had no intention of forcing Yang Xueyi to make any decision. He looked at Yang Xueyi with a gloomy look and said, "Although I look forward to having a child with you, you are the one who makes the final decision."
"But whether you give birth to this child or not, you can decide how to arrange every room in this house in the future."
"You can become its mistress anytime you want."
As if he hadn't expected the conversation to go this far, Ying Yun looked a little embarrassed and nervous, but he finally said -
"Yang Xueyi, if you don't mind, can you live here with me in the future?"
"I know this isn't formal. I should find a better opportunity, make more thorough preparations, and give you more surprises, but I really want to tell you."
"Especially since you might be pregnant now, I feel like as a responsible person I have to express my stance - if possible, can you let me give you a home?"
"The suburbs are a bit far. If you don't want to live here long-term, I have a house in the city."
…
Because of the continuous dry heaving, Yang Xueyi's eyes were filled with unbearable tears. However, when she saw Ying Yun's sincere and somewhat urgent confession in front of her, her mood, which had just wanted to kill the culprit Ying Yun, strangely calmed down.
People also become shy: "Are you thinking too far ahead?"
Yang Xueyi turned her head and said, "Besides, she's only suspected of being pregnant right now, so it's not certain."
"Besides, if you want to marry me, even if I agree, you have to get past my mom first."
Yang Xueyi glared at Ying Yun, whose face lightened up and smiled after hearing her answer. "If you're really pregnant, go ask my mom for marriage. I'll break your legs! Don't think that I'll side with you when I'm your half-son. Think about how to explain it to my mom first! Anyway, you're responsible for the good things you've done!"
Ying Yun pulled Yang Xueyi's hand and gently kissed her fingertips: "Got it, I'll take responsibility."
This matter was extremely urgent! Yang Xueyi had clearly warned him that Ms. Yang Meiying could beat him half to death at any time, but Ying Yun's face showed no worry or fear at all. Instead, he smiled brighter than ever.
"So you promised me?"
Is this the point!
Yang Xueyi blushed and asked, "Have you figured out how to tell my mom?"
"If you're pregnant, there's nothing you can do."
Ying Yun's words sounded helpless, but there was still a smile on his face: "I will tell the truth."
Ying Yun kissed her eyes and said, "If she wants to break my legs before letting you marry me, then I will be willing to let her break my legs."
He shrugged fearlessly, "Anyway, I haven't broken off my friendship with Yu Shi yet. After I break my leg, I can go to him for treatment. But then I didn't pay for his medical treatment. He's in such a bad situation, and he's going through so much hardship. Isn't that what he owes me?"
Yang Xueyi: "..."
Ying Yun did not give Yang Xueyi any more speechless moments. He leaned over and kissed Yang Xueyi deeply, repeating over and over again -
"Yang Xueyi, I love you."
"Even if Aunt Yang breaks my legs and puts me in a wheelchair, I will still love you."
Yang Xueyi felt shy and reached out to cover Ying Yun's lips with her fingers, but Ying Yun didn't get angry. He just followed Yang Xueyi's posture, held her hand and kissed her fingers.
There is endless darkness outside the house, but inside the house there are warm lights that Ying Yun created for Yang Xueyi, a sea of fragrant roses, and people who love her.
Yang Xueyi once read a sentence, "Pure love and selfless courage are non-renewable", but looking at Ying Yun in front of her, she felt that they can be regenerated.
She had lost a lot of things because of her stubbornness and had been wronged because of her soft heart. She believed that there was a huge gap between herself and Ying Yun. She pessimistically and stubbornly believed that an unequal relationship of marrying up could not produce love. She was even more afraid that a relationship with a class gap would hurt her, so she took many detours and missed too much time.
But now I realize that everything was wrong.
In a relationship, if you are loved, there is no such thing as climbing above your station.
She is willing to regenerate the courage that was lost due to cowardice, inferiority and sensitive pride for Ying Yun.
A step that she was afraid to take at fifteen, she can now take at almost twenty-six.
If it was Ying Yun, she would be willing to risk her life for once.
After pulling Ying Yun's tie and pulling him up, Yang Xueyi stood on tiptoe and kissed Ying Yun's lips in the dark.
"Ying Yun, you'd better not get your legs broken."
"Because I can't bear to leave."
She hugged Ying Yun's neck coquettishly, and Ying Yun almost immediately bent down and hugged Yang Xueyi tightly back.
Yang Xueyi buried her head in his ear: "Who told me to love you too?"
"And I don't want to have to push your wheelchair when I'm old."
She snorted, "Anyway, since I'm such a beautiful lady, I'll give it to you out of pity."
Ying Yun just smiled: "I see, beautiful lady, thank you for being so kind and pitying me."
He looked at Yang Xueyi and said, "I have no way to repay you. I can only repay you with my whole life."

Copywriter:
Shi Yuwei, who was forced to transfer schools due to her parents' job changes, had only one wish - to drop out and return to her original school.
In order to be persuaded to drop out of the new school, she made great efforts——
He publicly expressed his love for Jiang Yu, the most beautiful girl in the international class.
Jiang Yu came from a wealthy family, had a good appearance, and was a brilliant mind. More importantly, as the only son of a school director, offending him was tantamount to offending the school...
Chasing him made him angry, and Shi Yuwei was persuaded to retreat.
However, the opposite happened and after chasing for a long time, nothing happened.
There were so many people chasing after Jiang Yu that Jiang Yu ignored them all.
But the plan to drop out of school was completely declared bankrupt, and Jiang Yu's image as a passionate pursuer was firmly placed on her. Any behavior of Shi Yuwei was infinitely magnified and interpreted——
Clearly, she just wanted to sneak a peek at Jiang Yu's answers, but rumors spread that they were so in love that they even exchanged glances of affection during exams;
The tears that came from choking on the chili peppers while eating lunch turned into tears that choked on seeing Jiang Yu eating with the other girls;
Forced to fast for a week due to gastroenteritis, it was misrepresented as being too painful to eat because Jiang Yu was suspected of being in love...
As the rumors grew more intense, Shi Yuwei decided to find Jiang Yu to clarify and apologize.
Before she could speak, Jiang Yu interrupted her: "I know what you are going to say."
Jiang Yu's face was so handsome it seemed unreal, but his next words made Shi Yu feel dazed.
"I promised you."
? !
"I'll have dinner with you later. There's nothing to cry about."
"I'm not in a relationship with anyone. Don't refuse to eat or drink over something like this. You can come to me directly to verify it."
"But don't stare at me during the exam. It distracts me."
Shi Yuwei: ...
It's over. The school director's only son is in a premature relationship. He's really going to be fired this time...
