Looking at his little girl, who was trembling with fear, Hu Dazhuang felt for the first time that his parenting had failed. He patted Hu Lisha's shoulder in frustration and said gently, "Study hard and stop playing tricks. You're too naive."
Hu Lisha's eyes widened. What was wrong with her father today? Usually, he would have taken off his belt and whipped her in this situation. Could it be that he had suffered some kind of shock today?
Hu Dazhuang looked up at the campus in Beijing. The campus was lush and green, full of vitality. Such a sacred place could not tolerate any dirty thoughts.
When school let out in the afternoon, the results of the investigation were posted on the school bulletin board. Hu Lisha stood in front of the bulletin board, recalling what her father had told her. She realized that she was too naive and that was really true. This time, she had definitely lost both her wife and her army.
Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er had been following the development of the matter closely. When they learned of the school's decision, they were satisfied. These punishments would stay with them for life, and they might regret it later; the cost of making mistakes was too high.
Ye Chenming rode over on a brand-new bicycle, and with a graceful drift, the bike stopped in front of Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er: "Nannan, I bought you a bicycle. You can ride it to and from school from now on. The buses are too crowded."
Yan Xiaonan felt a little awkward. This was a school campus, but Ye Chenming was so generous and open, she couldn't be petty. Ye Chenming was such a clever person, so she took the bicycle first and said to Yan Xiaonan with a smile, "From now on, we'll both ride our bikes to and from get out of class."
Yan Xiaonan nodded, and the three of them strolled around the campus in one bicycle. Ye Chen'er pushed her bicycle and walked slower and slower until she was two or three meters behind, at which point she rode her bicycle back to the dormitory.
Ye Chenming inwardly praised his younger sister for being so sensible, and his smile deepened: "Nannan, what do you want to do after graduation?"
Yan Xiaonan shook her head. She had already been officially employed, but she didn't know if she would be able to do business in the future. She had forgotten to ask her uncle about it when she went back this time.
"Nan Nan, I hope you'll marry me after you graduate. I'll support whatever you do then," Ye Chenming said sweetly.
"You support me no matter what I do, but what if I want to start a business?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"Of course I support you, Nan Nan. You have the Ye family's ring, and you can allocate all of the Ye family's assets as you see fit." Ye Chenming took out a thick ledger from his bag and handed it to Yan Xiaonan.
"This is my family's account book. You can keep it for now and take a look at it when you have time. You can do whatever you want with it then. However, the Ye family's assets are not much anymore, so I hope you won't think it's too little."
"How much is 'not much'?" Yan Xiaonan asked curiously.
"I still have over a million in cash, but it's all overseas. Most of the real estate is gone, even the most valuable port is gone. Apart from the three-courtyard house in Beijing, there are two small Western-style houses and a dozen or so shops in Shanghai. One of the Western-style houses and several shops are under my aunt's name." Ye Chenming recalled the data in the ledger.
"You still have so much money? What if I lose money and end up losing all your family's assets?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"So what if I lose money? My future salary and benefits will be quite good, I'll definitely be able to support you," Ye Chenming said confidently.
Yan Xiaonan readily accepted the account book. The Ye family had treated her well, and Ye Chenming was even more sincere, entrusting her with such a private item as the account book. Now that she had accepted the ring from the Ye family, she would cherish this relationship.
Seeing Yan Xiaonan accept the ledger, Ye Chenming was so happy he wanted to hug her, but the time and place weren't right. He could only suppress his desire, smile at Yan Xiaonan, and say in a hoarse voice, "Nannan, I really hope you can graduate tomorrow."
Yan Xiaonan smiled. It felt so good to be in love. It was a pity that Ye Chenming didn't have any vacation time. Ye Chenming seemed to know what Yan Xiaonan was thinking and whispered in her ear, "I still have one day off this month. When would you like me to come and spend time with you?"
Yan Xiaonan was somewhat surprised; there was still one day of holiday left.
“I have two days off every month now, and I want to see you once every two weeks, Nan Nan, would you be willing?” Ye Chenming looked at Yan Xiaonan.
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Feelings need to be cultivated, and she hoped to spend more time together. Although she had learned about Ye Chenming in Mushroom Village, at that time, she only thought he was very handsome.
"Let's meet this weekend. Why don't you come out next Sunday?" Yan Xiaonan thought that she was going to Mushroom Mountain in Beijing on Saturday to help cotton grow, so Sunday was still a good day for a date.
Ye Chenming nodded repeatedly, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost dinnertime. He quickly asked Yan Xiaonan, "Shall we go out for dinner?"
When Yan Xiaonan heard about dinner, she realized she was indeed hungry, but she still asked carefully, "Is there a time limit for you to go back?"
"Yes, the lights go out at nine o'clock at night, but the bus to my school stops running at eight o'clock," Ye Chenming replied.
"Let's go eat now, and then you should hurry back. By the way, is Chen'er coming?" Yan Xiaonan asked anxiously.
"Chen'er isn't going, it'll just be the two of us." Ye Chenming led Yan Xiaonan out of the school gate. There was a state-run restaurant near the school, and the food was pretty good. Ye Chenming had already scouted it out at noon today.
Handsome men and beautiful women always attract attention. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two entered the state-run restaurant. Yan Xiaonan was still a little uncomfortable, but Ye Chenming seemed to be blind, seeing nothing but Yan Xiaonan.
They ordered Yan Xiaonan's favorite dishes, and the two sat down and began to eat slowly with their chopsticks.
"Ye Chenming, my father bought two houses near the school. I'm thinking of starting a clothing business. Do you think it's feasible?" Yan Xiaonan asked softly.
“That works. I’ll write a letter to my aunt tonight. She has some connections in Shanghai when it comes to sourcing goods. I can ask her to help you get started.” Ye Chenming was very supportive.
"Isn't Huacheng the most fashionable city?" Yan Xiaonan was a college student in her previous life and had never been involved in the clothing business.
"I don't quite understand either. I'll tell you the result after I write to you. Also, Auntie needs to design the decoration of the clothing store. Don't rush, the time to open the store is not yet here," Ye Chenming reminded him.
Yan Xiaonan nodded. The street stalls could be set up now. The time for the storefront hadn't come yet, but it would be soon. They could start preparing.
The two ate and talked, and the people around them felt they could eat an extra bowl of rice today, as they were so beautiful and pleasing to the eye. But why were they talking so softly? They had to strain their ears like rabbits to hear a word.
