Chapter 43 White Moonlight Substitute 9
Without the Yun family, the air in the villa was much fresher.
Tao Zijin helped Yao Rong carry the luggage into the room and put it away. When he went downstairs, Yao Rong called him: "The chef has prepared lunch, eat before leaving."
"Then I'll stay for dinner." Tao Zijin was not polite, and his lips curved slightly, "The food in the hospital is definitely not as good as the five-star chef hired by Aunt Yao."
Yao Rong: "I asked the chef to make your favorite squirrel mandarin fish, see if it suits your taste."
Tao Zijin's eyes lit up: "Aunt Yao still understands me."
He walked to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the squirrel mandarin fish on the table, Tao Zijin couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile.
He said to Yao Shiyun, who was sitting opposite him, "When the Yun family is here, I can't come to eat for free."
In the past, Dr. Tao often came to the Yao family villa, and Tao Zijin would come to play every time.
Later, Yao's grandpa and grandma passed away, and the Yun family moved in, and Tao Zijin rarely came.
"You are so shameless to eat and drink for free." Yao Shiyun teased him.
Tao Zijin complained: "That's not right, I have invited you to dinner many times."
Yao Rong watched them bickering with a smile, and suddenly remembered something.
In the original plot, not long after she died of illness, Tao Zijin also died in an accident. Dr. Tao was hit by Tao Zijin's death and his health was not as good as before. Later, he was taken abroad by his youngest son to live in old age.
It was because Tao Zijin and Dr. Tao died and lived abroad that Yao Shiyun had no one to turn to for help when she got into trouble.
"Come on, let's eat. If you don't eat, the food will get cold." Yao Rong reminded her.
After lunch, Tao Zijin drove back to the city hospital to work, Yao Shiyun went back to clean up the room, and Yao Rong went back to take a nap.
When the sun was not so strong in the afternoon, Yao Rong and Yao Shiyun came to the garden wearing sunscreen and sun hats, intending to plant the kapok seedlings that had just been delivered.
Yao Shiyun held a small hoe in her hand and asked Yao Rong, "Mom, where are you going to plant the seedlings?"
Yao Rong looked around the garden and pointed to the middle of the garden.
There were no other trees around this location, only a sea of flowers, with plenty of sunlight. More importantly, whether looking out from her room window or Yao Shiyun's room window, one could see this place at a glance.
"Okay, then plant it there."
Yao Shiyun walked along the cobblestone path to the middle of the garden and began to help Yao Rong dig a tree pit.
With the two of them working together, they dug it quickly.
Put the kapok sapling into the tree pit and bury it, then pour the right amount of water on it, and the tree is planted.
"How long will it take for this kapok sapling to bloom?"
The kapok sapling only grew to the height of Yao Shiyun's waist. Yao Shiyun slightly bent over and moved closer to observe the sapling.
Yao Rong looked at her: "It will bloom in about two years. But to grow into a thriving tree that is not afraid of wind and rain, it should take eight to ten years."
Yao Shiyun was unaware: "This is very fast."
"Let's go back."
"Is that all?"
Yao Shiyun patted the dirt that her arm had rubbed against, and hurried to catch up with Yao Rong. However, as she walked, she couldn't help but look back at the sapling swaying gently in the spring breeze.
For some reason, just looking at this sapling made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Well, planting a tree is not something that can be done overnight. Even if you keep watching it here, you can't make it grow up immediately."
Hearing Yao Rong say this, Yao Shiyun turned back reluctantly and followed Yao Rong into the villa.
Returning to her room, Yao Shiyun washed her hands and sat by the window to do her homework.
Because no one in her family interfered with her choice of major, Yao Shiyun chose fashion design, which she was most interested in.
Her grades were not particularly outstanding, but she was ranked in the upper-middle level of the class. In addition, she listened carefully in class, so these homework assignments were not difficult for her.
Outside, dusk fell and the sun sank to the west.
Soon, the stagnation in the air intensified, and the wind blowing into the house from the half-open window seemed dull.
A rainstorm was about to come. After
Yao Shiyun finished the last question, she closed her homework, and when she went to close the window, she looked into the distance and saw the kapok seedlings swaying in the strong wind.
In order to increase the survival rate, many leaves on this kapok tree sapling were plucked. At first glance, its entire trunk was shaking.
The extent of the shaking always made people wonder whether the sapling would be blown to the ground by the wind.
Yao Shiyun thought: If this sapling is really blown down when she wakes up tomorrow, she will dig a deeper hole and plant it again.
When she woke up the next day, Yao Shiyun used the remote control to open the curtains.
After being swept by the strong wind and heavy rain, the garden was particularly messy, and the ground was full of dead flowers and leaves. The kapok sapling that Yao Shiyun paid special attention to was still the same as yesterday, and even under the baptism of rain, it glowed with an unprecedented vitality.

Yao Rong planned to go to A University with Yao Shiyun today.
During breakfast, Yao Rong handed a cup of warm milk to Yao Shiyun and told her about this.
Yao Shiyun paused after drinking the milk and asked curiously, "Mom, why are you going to A University?"
Yao Rong replied, "I plan to go to the A University library to read books."
As one of the top universities in the country, the A University library has a very rich collection of books.
Moreover, mechanical-related majors are the trump majors of A University. There must be a lot of professional books in this field in the A University library, which just meets her needs.
"What books are you reading?"
"I told you before that I want to divorce Yun Jun and drive the Yun family out of the Yao Group. Do you remember?"
"Remember."
Not only did she remember this, she also remembered that her scumbag father treated her mother as a substitute for Bai Yueguang!
Yao Shiyun thought about this and said, "So, mom, you want to learn business management?"
"Almost. Take a look at some books on mechanics as well. After all, the main business of the Yao Group is automobiles." In order not to scare Yao Shiyun, Yao Rong felt that she should not say that what she really wanted to learn was how to modify electric cars.
Yao Shiyun pursed her lips.
Although she supported her mother's decision, she did not know nothing.
It is very challenging to manage a large enterprise like the Yao Group. Her mother is in poor health and has not been involved in the company's business in recent years. Even if she starts to study hard now, it will definitely be very difficult in a short period of time.
Yao Shiyun bit the milk straw and frowned slightly, and the worry on her face could hardly be concealed.
Yao Rong could not tell what Yao Shiyun was thinking.
She smiled and spread condensed milk on the bread: "Do you want to learn business management?"
"Me!?" Yao Shiyun could no longer worry and pointed at herself with a look of astonishment.
"The Yao Group will definitely be yours in the future. With my experience, I will not let you find a man to marry. If you can manage the Yao Group, you can manage it. If you think you can't, you can hire a professional manager to help you manage it."
"But even if you find a professional manager, you can't be ignorant."
"Besides-"
Yao Rong put down the condensed milk and wiped her fingers with a napkin.
With a smile on her face, she outlined a very good future prospect for Yao Shiyun: "Xiaoyun, you are studying fashion design now. In the future, don't you want to start a clothing brand of your own?"
Yao Shiyun is already a sophomore this year. Sometimes, when she sits in the classroom and listens to the teacher's lecture, she will also think about what she will do after graduating from college, but she can never set a clear goal.
But now, Yao Rong's words have provided her with a new idea.
Start a clothing brand of her own!
Belong to her!
A clothing brand deeply imprinted with her label!
But... can she do it?
After the excitement, this question came out from the bottom of her heart.
Yao Shiyun's excitement faded a little, and a look of confusion emerged from the bottom of her eyes.
Since she was little, her strength is her academic performance, but she seems to have no courage to stand on her own and no courage to take responsibility.
And starting a clothing brand is actually similar to starting your own business and being your own boss.
She...
she can't do it.
Yao Shiyun subconsciously denied herself.
But after the denial, a voice in Yao Shiyun's heart sounded again: Can't I do it? She seemed to be a little unwilling to deny this possibility so directly.
"Anyway, go and study first. Whether you can do it or not, leave it to time." Yao Rong spoke at the right time and rescued Yao Shiyun from that state of confusion.
"Okay!"
Yao Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily put aside all the problems that entangled her.
Yao Shiyun put down the empty milk cup in her hand and stood up.
"I'm done. I'll go back to the room to get my schoolbag. Mom, you eat slowly."
Watching Yao Shiyun's back as she left, Yao Rong lowered her head and gently took a bite of the whole wheat bread covered with condensed milk.
Yao Shiyun didn't need to set a goal so early.
She was only a sophomore. Even if she decided to start a clothing brand in her senior year, after graduating from college, or even after she turned 30, it would not be too late.
Yao Rong now just wanted to plant a seed in Yao Shiyun's heart.
Maybe when the time comes, this seed will take root and sprout.
Of course, if this seed does not sprout, it doesn't matter.
In this process of exploration, Yao Rong believed that Yao Shiyun would find what she really wanted and would also realize that her frail body actually contained amazing strength.
She could do it, couldn't she?
When Yao Shiyun took her schoolbag downstairs, Yao Rong also finished her breakfast.
The driver had already prepared the car, and Yao Rong and Yao Shiyun got into the back seat together.
The villa area was a bit far from the new campus of A University, and the road was a bit congested. When the car arrived at A University, Yao Shiyun was about to start class, so naturally she couldn't go to the library with Yao Rong.
She hurriedly stuffed the campus card into Yao Rong's hand: "Mom, you can enter the library by swiping this campus card. You go to the library first, and I'll find you after class."
After explaining clearly, Yao Shiyun grabbed her schoolbag and ran towards the teaching building.
"Slow down." Yao Rong held the campus card and shouted at her back.
Yao Shiyun didn't look back, but raised her right hand and waved, indicating that she understood.
"You go back first, and pick us up in the afternoon." Yao Rong said to the driver who came to open the door for her.
"Okay, ma'am."
Maybe it was close to class time, there were many people running wildly on the campus of A University.
Yao Rong avoided them and walked to the library along the road signs.
After swiping the campus card to enter the library, Yao Rong found the reading room dedicated to mechanical professional books and began to select books.
Soon, she picked a sofa in the corner with three books in her arms and sat down, flipping through the books at a rapid speed.
***
On the other side, Yao Shiyun arrived at the classroom smoothly before the bell rang.
The front row of the classroom was basically full of people. Yao Shiyun chose an empty seat in the back row and sat down. She took out the homework she had done last night from her schoolbag and handed it to the podium.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Yao Shiyun always felt that many classmates in the classroom were looking at her.
When her eyes swept over, they avoided looking at her.
But before Yao Shiyun could think about it carefully, the teacher came in.
After the class, Yao Shiyun put all the books and pens on the table into her bag and hurried to another teaching building for the next class.
Walking alone on the road, the feeling of being secretly watched became stronger.
Yao Shiyun frowned and quickened her pace.
When she arrived at the classroom, Yao Shiyun deliberately walked to sit next to her roommate.
The roommate was typing away on her phone, so absorbed in the conversation that she didn't notice Yao Shiyun until she took out a book from her bag and put it on the table.
"I was so scared!" The roommate subconsciously turned the phone screen to the other side.
Yao Shiyun noticed her little move and had a bad feeling in her heart: "What are you talking about?"
"Ah... just..." The roommate shook her head and stammered, "Did you break up with Senior Lu?"
Even though it had been several days, Yao Shiyun's heart still ached when she heard the name Lu Xinghua.
She secretly took a breath, trying to suppress her abnormality with this move.
"Yes."
The roommate asked again: "You took the initiative to break up?"
"...Yes."
"Uh." The roommate hesitated, gritted his teeth, and directly opened a post, "I was still hesitating whether to tell you, now that you asked, just take a look."
Yao Shiyun had already had an uncertain premonition in her heart.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and her dense eyelashes like raven jade left a faint shadow under her eyes, and the name of the post fell into her sight. "
The white, rich and beautiful girl in the 818 Fashion Design Department who plays with feelings"
Playing with feelings?
Just looking at the name of the post, Yao Shiyun couldn't connect this post with herself at all.
"Send me the link of this post, let me take a look." Yao Shiyun heard her own voice.
The teacher entered the classroom and the bell rang, but Yao Shiyun's attention was all on this post.
The post was posted last night.
Maybe it’s because there hasn’t been anything else going on in University A recently, or maybe it’s because the title is really eye-catching, anyway, this post has undoubtedly gone viral.
[LZ: I accidentally heard a piece of gossip today.
Do you remember the previous post about a senior from the Fashion Design Department who passionately pursued a junior for a year and finally got her.
Now, I can tell you with certainty that they broke up!
It was the junior who broke up first!]
The first post also by LZ: [The senior is really miserable. For the sake of the junior, I don’t know how many confessions he has rejected. He brings breakfast every day and takes up a seat in the library. He can be said to be a very filial boyfriend.
As a result, not long after they were together, the junior sister directly proposed to break up. Of course, the senior was angry and said some rather heartless words, but in fact,
he hoped that the junior sister would come back to keep him. As a result, after so many days, the junior sister not only did not send him a message, but when he said that he wanted to take back the things he left with the junior sister, in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to see the junior sister again, the junior sister ruthlessly rejected him, and even did not come to class to avoid him.
P.S.: As far as I know, the junior sister asked for leave from the counselor after rejecting the senior~]
Obviously, many people in the forum have read the previous posts.
[No way, they broke up? ]
[I told you, dogs who lick the boots don’t get houses]
There are even "kind-hearted people" who posted links to previous posts in this post so that the onlookers can go and catch up.
Yao Shiyun did not read the reply carefully, and stared at the content posted by the original poster.
Yes, it was indeed she who proposed the breakup.
But what on earth is wrong with those messy and distorted analyses! ?
Just looking at these words, I am afraid everyone will think that the fault lies with her, and Lu Xinghua is a complete victim.
But isn't it Lu Xinghua who is really playing with feelings?
Too absurd.
This is really too absurd.
"Shiyun, Shiyun, are you okay?" The roommate pushed Yao Shiyun's arm and said worriedly.
Yao Shiyun came back to her senses and said to her roommate: "I'm fine."
But obviously, her pale face was not convincing at all.
The roommate wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the teacher on the podium glanced in the direction of the two of them, and the roommate lowered her head in fear.
Yao Shiyun pursed her lips, trying to calm herself down.
At this moment, the screen of Yao Shiyun's mobile phone lit up, and she received a WeChat message.
When she opened WeChat, it was indeed from Lu Xinghua.
[Lu Xinghua: If you don't want to give me those things, just help me throw them away.]
Yao Shiyun's anger suddenly rose, and she asked: [Was that post posted by you or someone close to you?]
[Lu Xinghua: What post?]
[Yao Shiyun: You don't know? Why are you pretending to be stupid.]
Some of the content mentioned by the host is really too detailed.
If Lu Xinghua hadn't leaked it, how could the host know it.
[Lu Xinghua: Alas, there is no need for you to be unreasonable]
Yao Shiyun: "..."
She knew that Lu Xinghua would not admit it.
Once Lu Xinghua admitted it, it would be equivalent to handing the handle to her.
But she still couldn't help being disappointed.
[Yao Shiyun: Lu Xinghua, I originally thought that you had disappointed me enough on the day we broke up, but I didn't expect that you could disappoint me even more. ]
[Yao Shiyun: After this class, I will go back to the dormitory to give you the things, and then we will not contact each other again. ]
Putting down the phone, Yao Shiyun lay on the table listlessly.
The person who said he liked her first was Lu Xinghua, and the person who used cold violence first was also Lu Xinghua. He destroyed her self-confidence, left her covered with bruises, and let her be the villain.
This made her wonder, did Lu Xinghua really like her?
But if he didn't like her, why did he pursue her for a whole year?
Questions popped up one after another, and before Yao Shiyun could figure out the problem, the bell rang.
"Shiyun, are you going to eat?" asked the roommate.
Yao Shiyun shook her head: "I have to go back to the dormitory first."
"Then I'll go with you. I'll go back and have some instant noodles."
The two of them, carrying their schoolbags, followed the crowd out of the teaching building.
"By the way. How are you going to deal with that post?" After walking in silence for a while, the roommate couldn't help but ask.
Yao Shiyun said softly, "I haven't thought about it yet."
The roommate: "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"Thank you."
"It's okay. Others may not know what's going on, but as your roommate, I know it too. How is Auntie's recovery?" The roommate asked with concern.
When talking about Yao Rong, Yao Shiyun showed a faint smile on her face: "My mother has recovered very well and can go out now."
"Hey, is that Yao Shiyun?" Lu Xinghua and his good friend Ling Bai had a rare class today. As soon as they left the teaching building, Ling Bai pointed in a direction and shouted.
Lu Xinghua looked in the direction of his finger and said calmly, "It's her."
"Why are you so good-tempered! Aren't you angry at all?" Ling Bai was very dissatisfied with Lu Xinghua's reaction, "Look, you've been frowning these days, while she is talking and laughing with her friends there. She is living such a good life."
Lu Xinghua smiled bitterly, "What's the use of being angry. To her, I'm already a thing of the past."
Ling Bai was very disappointed, "You are so carefree now. I don't know who dragged me out to drink all night last night."
"Okay, okay, I know you are standing up for me." Lu Xinghua reached out and patted Ling Bai on the shoulder, "You go eat first, I'll go get her things." "
Oh, oh, oh." Ling Bai sighed as he watched Lu Xinghua stride away.
