☆、Ninety-two、Suspension of Studies (2456 words)
In the dead of night, the wind rustled the leaves outside the window, and the person Feng Zihao had rushed into his arms stirred slightly, his hand unconsciously stiffening a little.
Li Yaxi woke up, but didn't want to get up. He longed for that embrace so much.
"Ya Xi, would you like to eat something?"
Li Yaxi nudged Feng Zihao, but the hand tightly gripping Feng Zihao's clothes betrayed her.
Feng Zihao smiled and hugged Li Yaxi even tighter.
Why didn't you tell me all that you did for me?
"What?"
Li Yaxi's muffled, questioning voice escaped from Feng Zihao's chest, making Feng Zihao's heart itch like a cat's claws.

Li Yaxi pushed him away, turned over, and sat up.
"Who let you in? Get out!"
Feng Zihao hugged Li Yaxi from behind. "You clearly missed me too, so why did you push me away? Are you hiding something from me? Yaxi, you're being naughty!"
Li Yaxi nudged Feng Zihao's chest with her elbow, but unfortunately, he was too weak to move, so the gesture was more like a flirtatious attempt to resist.
"Feng Zihao! Who gave you permission to enter my room like that! We have nothing to do with each other anymore! Get out!"
Feng Zihao restrained Li Yaxi, preventing him from moving around. "Let's talk this out. Don't move around. Are you feeling better now and want to hurt again? Yaxi, tell me, is it because Cai Weisen won't let you be with me? What conditions did you two exchange?"
Li Yaxi turned to look at him, puzzled.
"What are you talking about? What does our business have to do with him! Don't make excuses for your mistakes!"
"I didn't! I admit I was wrong, please forgive me! Ya Xi, I miss you, and Xiao Weiba misses you too! Let's go home, okay? I promise I'll stay as far away from Zhou Yang as possible from now on, and if you don't like him, we'll never see him again! Ya Xi, let's go home!"
"Go back by yourself! I'm not going back with you! We're finished! Finished, you know?! You can keep Little Tail for now. I'll come get Little Tail once Cai Wenliang is old enough to be around the dogs!"
Feng Zihao felt a surge of anxiety and hugged him even tighter.
Li Yaxi struggled for a moment, "Feng Zihao! Let go!"
Feng Zihao applied a little more pressure, but didn't let go of him.
"Ya Xi, I don't want to be separated from you, I don't want to be separated from you either, and you wouldn't want to either, right?"
Li Yaxi looked at him stubbornly, "Stop being so self-righteous! You should worry about yourself first! Get out! Get out, get out!"
Li Yaxi forcefully pushed Feng Zihao out. Poor Feng Zihao was kicked out of the door in the middle of the night, but he couldn't complain or curse, so he had to accept it!
However, he was certain that Li Yaxi hadn't completely given up on him and that there was still a chance to salvage the relationship, so even if he was kicked out, it was worth it.
Standing at the window, Li Yaxi watched Feng Zihao staring at his window with a slight frown, and her heart seemed to clench along with the wrinkles between his brows.
Cai Wenliang took a coat and draped it over him. "Are you hungry? I'll go ask the maid to heat up some food for you."
"No need, they're all asleep. I'll go see what food is available myself."
After saying that, he put on his clothes and walked towards the kitchen.
Cai Wenliang smiled and sighed, "I never care about other people's feelings. Compared to you, I seem like a complete spoiled brat."
"Then learn to respect others, learn how to be a good person."
Cai Wenliang smiled as he watched Li Yaxi skillfully cook the noodles. "That's good."
Li Yaxi looked up at him, puzzled. "What's so great?"
Cai Wenliang's smile widened. "It feels so good. Even when Dad is busy with work, he's not alone when he comes home. Having someone he cares about at home makes even this cold house feel warm."
Li Yaxi paused in her stirring of the noodles with her chopsticks. "I prefer being alone; it's more liberating."
Cai Wenliang smiled and patted Li Yaxi's head.
"You're not restricted at home. We won't just walk into your room. As long as you're safe and healthy, we won't interfere with what you do. You can come home when you're tired, and someone can cook for you when you're hungry. Isn't that great?"
Li Yaxi turned off the induction cooker and poured the noodles into a bowl. "But I'm cooking the noodles myself now."
Cai Wenliang followed Li Yaxi out of the kitchen with a smile. It seemed he was going to learn how to cook, so that if his younger brother was hungry in the future, he could ask his own family for help instead of outsiders.
But even after Li Yaxi finished eating her noodles, Cai Wenliang still couldn't figure out why he couldn't use other people's labor to make himself more comfortable, even though he had paid for it!
Li Yaxi slept until noon, and didn't even wake up when Cai Weisen came in to cover him with a blanket.
I stretched and yawned as I went downstairs.
Cai Wenliang smiled and waved to him, "Xiao Xi, come here quickly, Uncle Butler, go and bring out the food."
Li Yaxi sat down at the table and waited for the housekeeper to bring her food.
"Did you sleep well? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
I am healthier than you.
Li Yaxi coldly retorted, shutting up Cai Wenliang's rambling mouth.
The housekeeper brought out a bowl of steamed egg custard, toast, various stomach-soothing rice porridges, and small, soft pastries.
"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I was just having lunch!"
Cai Wenliang glanced at the various foods on the table, his eyes crinkling into a smile.
"Before, our house mostly contained hangover remedies, but now it's mostly these health-preserving foods. The housekeeper is now very keen on researching various medicinal cuisines, so he makes a lot for each meal and then tries each one to see which ones we prefer."
Li Yaxi sighed and ate a few bites of every dish. She had tried everything on the table and was almost full.
It must be said that the chef is indeed much better than Feng Zihao, who is a self-taught cook, and Qin Tian, whose cooking skills are primarily focused on filling his stomach.
"I don't want to go back to school for the time being; I want to take a leave of absence."
Cai Wenliang was taken aback, and remained silent for a while before saying, "Alright, you're still young anyway, and going to university would be quite difficult for you. Let's take a break, rest well, and then consider going back to school."
Li Yaxi didn't offer any explanation and simply nodded.
Cai Wenliang looked at him with concern, sighing silently in his heart. Seeing Li Yaxi go upstairs, Cai Wenliang took out his phone.
"Feng Zihao is me, Cai Wenliang."
"Is something wrong? Is Ya-Xi in trouble?"
"Xiao Xi is fine, but he suddenly told me he wants to drop out of school. What are you guys doing?! It was already strange that he suddenly came home, and now he wants to drop out. Is it your fault or Han Weiming's?"
"Taking a leave of absence? Ya-Xi said he wants to take a leave of absence?"
Feng Zihao's voice was filled with panic and tension.
"It's his choice to be with Xiao Xi, and we can't object. But if you do anything to hurt him, we won't let you off the hook! Feng Zihao, you'd better tell me honestly what happened between you two!"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
"Ya-Xi and I have had a bit of a fight lately, but I won't let him drop out of school. I'll ask him about it. Also, please take good care of him for me."
"He's my younger brother, I'll definitely take better care of him than you do!"
Cai Wenliang hung up the phone immediately. The problem wasn't with Feng Zihao; it was with Han Weiming. It seemed some things couldn't be delayed any longer.
