"What do you mean?" Yun Fan's expression changed drastically. "Are you mocking me?"
"I didn't mean to be sarcastic, and don't overthink it. It's just the truth. Even though I went abroad, I'm still the top scorer in the college entrance exam, and you're still my brother. But if you went abroad, nobody would even know who you are."
Yun Pei chuckled lightly. "What do you think of my opinion?"
"Yun Pei, don't talk nonsense. Your brother is in such poor health, how can he go abroad?"
“That’s simple. You can go abroad with Yunfan so you can take good care of him. Of course, if Dad is worried, he can go with them too.”
Yunmu looked at Yun Fan, somewhat tempted.
She, as the mother, had already guessed somewhat about her youngest son's thoughts. If leaving this place would make her youngest son more at ease, she seemed willing to leave with him.
Yun Fan was naturally persuaded as well.
Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.
His older brother has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and still with such a high score. Unless his score is similar to his brother's, no matter where his brother goes, even if his brother is gone, he will probably face a lot of criticism, unless he leaves.
Yun Fan was moved.
"Mom, would you be willing to leave with me?"
He didn't want to go abroad alone.
It must be so hard to be alone.
Having family members by your side makes a completely different difference.
Besides, he didn't want to leave his parents in the country to develop a relationship with Yun Pei.
"Mommy will go with you. Wherever Fanfan goes, Mommy will go too."
"And what about you?" Yun's father, though tempted, felt somewhat uneasy.
He looked at Yun Pei.
Yun's father frowned. "You're all alone in the country?"
"Of course, if I go, then Yun Fan's trip abroad will lose its meaning." His meaning was clear: even if he went abroad, his grades would probably still surpass Yun Fan's.
Yun Fan wanted to refute it, but... it was the truth.
He couldn't refute it.
"Besides, I can live a good life on my own." Anyway, they haven't really taken care of him much growing up.
Now that he's all grown up, he needs his parents' belated love even less.
The expressions on Yun's parents' faces froze. Yun's mother wanted to explain, but Yun's father stopped her.
Regardless of the reason or excuse, what Yun Pei said was true.
They are indeed unfit parents.
Ultimately, you have to choose between the palm and the back of your hand.
Since they chose Yun Fan, they couldn't expect to receive Yun Pei's wholehearted respect and love.
Yun's father sighed softly.
"Honey, let's prepare to go abroad. Yunfan, you should also choose a country and school you like. We'll go together then."
"Okay." Yun Fan smiled and grinned at Yun Pei when his parents couldn't see.
See, Yun Pei, no matter how outstanding you are, your parents still chose me.
Yun Pei remained expressionless.
He had expected this outcome long ago.
To be honest, although I felt a little bittersweet, it was within my expectations and I wasn't particularly sad.
What makes him even more upset now is...
He did not outperform Ning Jiaojiao in the exam.
When she saw the score, Ning Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I passed the exam.
Finally, I can go to Aoki University with Jiaojiao.
He had originally planned to choose any school at random, but after thinking it over, he decided to attend the same university as Jiaojiao.
This time, Ning Hong did not cheat or use any intelligence-boosting pills; she relied entirely on her own abilities to get into the nation's top university.
"If I want to do it, I can still do it."
Ning Hong thought to herself with pride.
Before he could share more of his excitement about being admitted to the top university with Jiaojiao, he saw Jiaojiao running off with her phone, a big smile on her face.
"Alas, daughters are like birds that cannot stay at home once they grow up; keeping them at home only leads to enmity."
"Jiaojiao, you're here."
In the coffee shop, Yun Pei vigorously stirred the coffee in his cup, turning it clockwise and then counterclockwise, looking restless. When he saw Ning Jiaojiao striding over, Yun Pei was overjoyed and quickly stood up.
Because he was standing too hastily, the coffee spilled all over him in an instant. He frantically pulled out tissues to wipe the coffee stains off his body, but left behind bits of paper. He hurriedly tried to brush off the paper bits, but then bumped into the orange juice he had ordered for Ning Jiaojiao.
The white tablecloth was instantly stained yellow by orange juice.
It dripped onto the ground, drop by drop.
Awkward.
Extremely awkward.
Yun Pei's face darkened, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Are you alright, sir?" A waiter from the coffee shop rushed over, holding a clean cloth, wanting to wipe the stains off his clothes.
"I'm fine," Yun Pei said, declining the waitress's offer of hospitality.
Didn't you see his future girlfriend is still standing there? He needs to keep his distance from other women.
"Sir, let me wipe it for you."
The waitress, completely oblivious to Yun Pei's dilemma, was very enthusiastic and had been staring at the man ever since.
Although he doesn't look very old, he has a great figure, and most importantly, his face is really handsome.
She would be willing to pay him to do it.
Now the opportunity has arrived.
I said, "No need, I can wipe it myself."
"You really don't need to be so polite, it's what we should do."
The muscles under the cloth were quite firm, which was her type.
Ning Jiaojiao's face darkened upon seeing this.
She could sense Yun Pei's embarrassment, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie, you don't need to trouble yourself. I can take care of my boyfriend myself."
"Ah, Auntie?"
The waitress was taken aback by her call.
Is she that old? No, when she looked in the mirror this morning, she did notice that she seemed to have more wrinkles on her face.
Upon hearing Ning Jiaojiao refer to him as his girlfriend, Yun Pei completely ignored the waiter and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Jiaojiao".
"Auntie, please give me the cloth."
"You're such a rude girl. You should call me 'sister' instead of 'auntie'."
Just being called that wiped out all the romance. "A little kid is just a little kid. He doesn't understand the charm of a mature woman at all."
"That's right, I still prefer younger ones." Yun Pei smiled at the waitress, his smile was extremely bright, like fireworks, but the words he said were even more hurtful.
"Hmph." The waitress walked away, swaying her hips in her high heels.
Yun Pei pulled Ning Jiaojiao to another seat and ordered her some snacks and orange juice again.
"Jiaojiao?"
"how?"
"You just said she was my girlfriend?"
Yun Pei cautiously probed.
"So what? It's been like this for the past three years, hasn't it? They all think we're a couple."
