Being a boyfriend isn't a bad idea either.
But Li Shaoyang just couldn't bring himself to say those words. Something felt off.
He didn't think he would fall in love with Ning Hongyu, but the thought of leaving her made him feel very depressed.
I guess I've gotten used to it.
Habits are truly terrifying.
Never mind, they're still young.
With Ning Hong around, she probably won't be allowed to find a partner so early.
If he had a sister like that, he would definitely keep a close eye on her and would never let any other man take her away easily.
Thinking of this, Li Shaoyang inexplicably relaxed a little.
However, Ning Hongze patted Ning Hongyu's shoulder and said, "I'm not the kind of person who is strict with others but lenient with myself. If you want to find a partner, I won't stop you. But you have to remember what you can and cannot do. Of course, the most important thing is that you must let me see you."
"good."
Ning Hongyu nodded obediently, "If my brother doesn't agree, I won't want him anymore."
Li Shaoyang: "—"
My chest tightened again, and it seemed like it was getting worse.
No, that's not right.
He stepped forward and pulled Ning Hongyu to his side. "Xiaoyu, don't pay attention to your brother. What he says is unreliable. Who would encourage their sister to date? You're still so young. Let's talk about this when you're older."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Simply stopping them will only provoke their rebellious nature. It's better to guide them properly. Don't worry, with me here, I will never let my sister be bullied."
“Brother is right.” Ning Hongyu nodded in agreement.
"Don't nod blindly."
Li Shaoyang was unhappy.
He had been watching over this girl for two years. Whenever she needed his help, he would call her "brother" all the time. Now that Ning Hongze was back, he had become the backup brother.
This is really frustrating.
Li Shaoyang was admitted to Yenching University, the highest institution of learning in the country.
Li Shaoyang's parents were overjoyed. Since they were wealthy, they held a banquet and invited many people to attend.
The Ning family was naturally among them.
Although the Ning family is really nothing special in terms of family background?
However, Mr. and Mrs. Li knew one thing clearly.
That is, the Ning family should be considered a great contributor to their son's admission to Peking University this time.
Otherwise, although his son's grades were quite good, there was still a slight gap between him and Yenching University. Most importantly, he was a troublemaker by nature and had no interest in spending time studying.
Therefore, Li's father had almost given up hope.
But ever since he met the Ning siblings, he has completely changed.
After learning martial arts from Ning Hongze, he became much more composed.
And because he wanted to teach Ning Hongyu her lessons and didn't want Ning Hongyu to look down on him, he started to study hard.
However, he never expected that his son would be so promising and actually get into Yenching University.
Still in the medical school.
This really made Li's father want to cry.
My son has never liked being a doctor, and he knows it very well. Now that he is willing to follow in his father's footsteps, it can be considered a blessing from our ancestors.
"Sigh, organizing such an event today must have cost a lot of money."
“It’s alright, it’s my mom’s shop, it won’t cost much.” Li Shaoyang placed a plate of food in Ning Hongyu’s hands. “This is my mom’s signature dish, you can’t buy it anywhere else.”
"You said your mother sells food?"
“Yes, a small restaurant.” Li Shaoyang touched his nose.
"Is this considered small?"
Shaoli Hotel is one of the top hotels in the province, with chain stores in multiple provinces. How could he call it small?
“Brother Hongze, that’s not right of you. What does it matter if the restaurant is big or small? You can’t stop being friends with me just because my mom’s restaurant is big, can you?”
"I've never been with you."
What kind of talk is this? It's easy to misunderstand.
"Shaoyang, come here."
Li Shaoyang wanted to say something more, but his mother beckoned, and Ning Hongyu nudged him. He frowned and obediently went over.
He kept looking back as he walked.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Come on, let me introduce you to a few people."
Li's mother smiled and led Li Shaoyang around.
Almost everyone Li Shaoyang knew had a daughter.
Some were older than him, and some were younger than him.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Taking advantage of a moment of respite, Li Shaoyang pulled his mother aside.
Is he being set up on a blind date again?
"I'm still young."
"I'm not asking you to get married so soon. I just want you to get to know them first. These girls are all outstanding and beautiful."
Li's mother patted Li Shaoyang's hand. "Is there one you particularly like?"
I don't like any of them.
"You don't like such a beautiful and outstanding girl?"
Li's mother was taken aback. These were all girls she had carefully selected. Weren't they all pretty?
Some are clever and lively, while others are knowledgeable and reasonable.
Some are playful and cute, while others are mature and elegant.
There are all types of women.
"Son, aren't your standards a bit too high? It's not like the emperor is choosing a concubine."
Do you know why the emperor could choose his concubines so arbitrarily?
"ah?"
"That's because he can choose many. If he doesn't like one, he can change to another. I can't. I can only choose one. Of course, I have to be more careful when choosing the one I like the most."
"So what kind do you like?"
Li's mother sighed and asked, "This child is growing up, and there are more and more troubles along with him."
"This one has to be good-looking."
"Absolutely."
Her whole family is obsessed with looks; if someone isn't good-looking, even she wouldn't be happy.
"And you're right. Of all the people you just introduced to me, none of them were good-looking. They weren't even as good-looking as Xiaoyu. At least they were better-looking than Xiaoyu."
Li's mother: "—"
When she first met Ning Hongyu, Ning Hongyu was somewhat timid and hesitant. Although she was well-behaved and sensible, she didn't really like her personality.
She prefers girls who are lively and optimistic.
Most importantly, the child's appearance was rather ordinary and not particularly striking.
But in the following two years, I don't know what happened?
Her face seemed to have evolved, becoming more and more beautiful, and gradually resembling her brother's.
It has become more refined.
"Your little Yu's face has grown up, she's a super beauty, just look at her brother."
I wonder how this family raised their son. How could parents like that raise such a handsome young man? His demeanor is even more outstanding than that of a young master from a wealthy family.
