Chapter 30 My Heart is in Turmoil
And so, amidst Lu Yi's delight and Ye Ran's awkwardness, the two walked back to Willow Leaf Village, stopping and starting intermittently.
To avoid arousing idle speculation and sarcastic remarks, Ye Ran parted ways with Lu Yi when they were quite a distance from the village entrance.
When she got home, Ye Jun and the others had already finished work and returned. Dinner was already prepared and placed on the table, as if they were just waiting for her to eat.
Seeing her face, red from the sun, Bai Yue felt a pang of sympathy and handed her a handkerchief.
"You silly child! Where did you run off to? Why are you only coming back now? Look at you, all sweaty!"
On the way back, Ye Ran had already thought about how to answer her parents' questions. She first gave Bai Yue a sweet smile. If you want to weaken the enemy's offensive, it is very important to soften the enemy first.
Once the enemy has calmed down, using a sickeningly sweet voice to act cute will be very effective; she has been very good at these little tricks since she was a child.
"Mom! Didn't you tell me to read more books? I've read all the books at home several times already, so I went to the bookstore in the city to look at books. It's so much cheaper to just look and not buy."
Looking at Ye Ran's sweet and playful appearance, Bai Yue couldn't vent her anger no matter how much she wanted to, but she still forced a glare at her.
"You didn't even tell us! We've been back for ages and you still haven't come back. Do you know how worried we were?"
"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll definitely tell you in advance next time."
"Next time? There won't be a next time. If you come back this late every day, it's dangerous on the road. What if something happens to you, a girl?"
Your dad and I worry about you like this every day. If you want to read books, just tell Mom, and Mom will give you money to buy them.
Ye Jun chimed in, "Yeah! Ranran, it's too dangerous for you to be alone! From now on, just buy the books you want to read directly!"
Ye Ran quickly refused, "No need, Mom and Dad. I have a lot of books I want to read. There are so many books in the bookstore, and you can read them for free. If we were to buy them, it would cost so much money!"
We can't waste money like this! Besides, reading in a bookstore is quiet and comfortable, the environment is really nice. Mom, I want to go to the bookstore again in the future…”
Bai Yue knew this principle, but she didn't want her daughter to suffer every day, and she really couldn't afford to buy her daughter so many books. Comparing the two, she felt that her daughter's safety was more important, and she was about to refuse.
Ye Ran immediately noticed her mother's reluctance and quickly stopped her before she could speak, "There's another, more important reason. A classmate of mine secretly told me that the college entrance examination might be reopened soon..."
"What?" Bai Yue and Ye Jun both exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Ran quickly gestured for them to be quiet, "Shh! Keep your voices down, this is confidential information. My classmate only found out because she has a relative who is a high-ranking official in Beijing. She only told me and asked me to keep it a secret. Mom and Dad, you can't tell anyone!"
Ye Jun and Bai Yue still couldn't hide their shock. It's no wonder they were like this; the news was just too astonishing. The college entrance examination had been suspended for ten years, and those people from back then were now parents themselves. Now they were actually saying that the college entrance examination could be held again.
Outsiders, in particular, could not understand Bai Yue’s excitement. To her, what her father Bai Yi said had come true. No matter if her father was framed or not, he was always her great hero.
