Chapter 203 Innocence (Two in One) Tian Ruan blushed, "Why...
Yu Shang pinched his brows, and his thick and long eyebrows like swords were slightly furrowed. He had discovered a major characteristic of Tian Ruan. Whenever he was forced into a corner, he would talk nonsense, and this nonsense would most likely involve him and Lu Qiuyan.
I don’t know where all these “weird ideas” come from in my mind, and they always catch people off guard.
"Hand over those medicines." Yu Shang stretched out his hand towards Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan searched his pockets and handed over the vitamins and fish oil angrily, "It's not like you haven't seen me eat them in the mornings these past few days. Mr. Yu didn't say anything, it's just a health supplement."
Yu Shang lowered his eyes, "It's no use explaining to me, you have to let others know that you are not taking drugs."
"Then you should issue a notice."
"These drugs need to have their ingredients tested and confirmed to be safe before they can be released."
Xi Qin: "You can issue a statement first. Tian Ruan, please write a draft of about 100 words, and the student union will issue it on your behalf."
Qian Lailai handed over a pen and paper and said, "We all believe in you."
Xie Tangyan: "If you ask me, it would be better to call the police directly and ask them to give Tian Ruan a physical examination. Once the physical examination report comes out, I promise to shut up."
Yu Shang: "If the police intervene, it will only lead to rumors. If they can't even solve this little thing, what can the student union do?"
The others shut their mouths. The fact that the principal did not show up meant that Yu Jingmo did not show up either, which indirectly meant that this was not a big deal and there was no need to alarm others.
Soon, Tian Ruan finished writing the draft statement and showed it to Yu Shang.
——I am Tian Ruan from Class 1, Grade 12. I have not used any illegal drugs, nor have I led the whole class to take drugs. These are nonsense and absurd remarks. My achievements are genuine, and real gold is not afraid of fire. You are welcome to report to me at any time and I look forward to your visit. The Student Union has collected the evidence medicines including calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins, and fish oil, and will soon send them to the hospital for testing of the drug ingredients. If there are any prohibited ingredients, I will drop out of school immediately!
Xie Tangyan looked at it and said, "Isn't this too risky?"
Tian Ruan carefully looked at the ingredients of these health products. In fact, he was not sure whether there was anything else in them. However, these medicines were expensive, and the manufacturers should not dare to add banned ingredients.
"It's okay." Tian Ruan said, "If something unexpected happens, I'm thick-skinned and I won't admit it."
Xie Tangyan chuckled and gave a thumbs up.
Then Tian Ruan returned to the classroom. Such rumors spread just after the final exam, and the classmates were very nervous. As soon as he arrived, they surrounded him and asked anxiously: "Tian Ruan, what's going on?" "Is there really any problem?" "Does it feel like I've become smarter because I took the medicine you gave me?"
Tian Ruan was surrounded by a lot of chatter, his ears were buzzing, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
They are still arguing.
There was a loud bang and everyone was startled and looked over in amazement.
The table was moved nearly a meter, and Lu Qiuyan sat on the chair, his long legs stretched out leisurely, his chin slightly raised, and he said lightly: "Sorry, my feet are slippery."
As the invisible "school bully", Lu Qiuyan's pressure was always there. This group of chattering young masters and young ladies immediately became much quieter, and even asked Tian Ruan in a soft voice: "The medicine you gave us is really okay, right?"
Tian Ruan: "If there is a problem, at worst we can drop out of school together."
Everyone: “…”
Tian Ruan: "Haha, I'm just kidding. It's not funny."
Everyone: “That’s not funny at all.”
I'm already in my third year of high school. It would be such a loss if I dropped out of Deyin.
Tian Ruan comforted him, "Don't worry, I only gave you vitamins and fish oil. If you don't believe me, you will know when your grades come out. Becoming smarter is just an illusion."
“…”
As he was speaking, the homeroom teacher arrived in the classroom and patted the podium, "Go back to your seats and sit down. Congratulations to the students who made it into the top 20 in the final exam."
The students listened as if it was normal. Sure enough, the first place was Yu Shang again, and Tian Ruan was the second, the third was Xi Qin, the fourth was Ying Feixu, the fifth was Nan Mengyao, the sixth was Lu Qiuyan, the seventh was Xie Tangyan, and the eighth was Qian Lailai...
"Let us give them a warm round of applause for their hard work."
There was sparse applause in the classroom.
The head teacher said some encouraging words as usual, and then said: "There are some rumors about Tian Ruan. Don't believe in rumors or spread them. Do you know that?"
"I understand." Tian Ruanyou said loudly.
The head teacher nodded, gave some instructions for the winter vacation, packed up the lesson plans and left.
Then it’s free time. Two days later, I’ll get my report card and homework, and then I can have a happy winter vacation.
Tian Ruan went to the translation agency, and the team leader Ai Ge specifically asked him about this matter and sighed: "Although I want to believe you, I can't recommend you to the publishing house to translate the poetry collection until the results come out."
Tian Ruan: "...Forget it. I have to take the IELTS exam during the winter vacation, so I may not be free."
Ai Ge nodded, "Then you should prepare for the IELTS first, this is the most important thing."
Tian Ruan left somewhat disappointed. He did not blame Ai Ge. He himself found the matter mysterious, let alone others.
There were no club activities, so Tian Ruan went to the library. While he was walking between the bookshelves, his cell phone vibrated. I swiped the phone screen and unlocked my face, and it was a WeChat message from Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo: The drugs have been sent for testing. Don't worry, the results will be out in the afternoon.
Tian Ruan: Yeah.
Yu Jingmo: Where?
Tian Ruan:?
Yu Jingmo: I'm in the principal's office.
Tian Ruan: Mr. Yu, you don’t have to come here in person.
Yu Jingmo: Come here.
Tian Ruan: Oh.
Tian Ruan took the three books to the administrator to register. The administrator was a middle-aged woman with a kind face. She recognized him and said with a smile: "There are three things in this world that will never be wasted. Do you know what they are?"
"Which three?" Tian Ruan was confused.
"Love, knowledge, and hard work." The administrator said in a gentle tone, "The love you give will one day return to you in another form; the knowledge you learn will be integrated into your flesh and blood, and no one can take it away; and your hard work is not without reward, it's just that sometimes it happens at the wrong time."
Tian Ruan nodded and said, "Teacher is right, I have benefited a lot from it."
The administrator waved his hand, "I'm not a teacher. I'm just a middle-aged woman who likes to read."
Tian Ruan said: "There are good teachers and helpful friends everywhere in life. Those who impart knowledge to me are teachers; those who give me kindness are friends."
After just a few words, Tian Ruan suddenly understood. Yes, it was not him who did something wrong, so he did not have to pay for the mistakes of others. The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are shining brightly. How can this world be without laws and truth?
Books in the library can be borrowed for a month and then returned. Tian Ruan calculated the time and it would be the start of school at that time.
Passing by the teaching building, a dark-skinned boy jumped out, howling like a ghost: "Tian Ruan! You have been wronged!!"
Tian Ruan stopped and saw Wang Weiqi rushing towards her on a skateboard. She dodged to the side, and Wang Weiqi jumped over and gave an intimate kiss to the European-style pillar in the corridor.
Wang Weiqi: “…”
Tian Ruan turned his head and asked, "What are you doing?"
Wang Weiqi and Zhuzi were inseparable, as if he was his closest lover. Only his head could move. He turned his face away, his nose bleeding and tears streaming: "Good brother, I believe you are not taking drugs."
Tian Ruan: "...but you look like you're on drugs."
Wang Weiqi covered his nose and ran to the school clinic, screaming, "School nurse, save me~"
Tian Ruan really didn't know what Wang Weiqi was doing, "Is he having a seizure?"
Confused, he went to the principal's office and knocked politely.
"Come in." It was the gentle and elegant voice of Principal Li.
Tian Ruan turned the doorknob and went in. "Hello, Principal, Director Hu, and Mr. Yu."
Director Hu's goatee was raised, and he started to flatter her: "This child is so polite, and has such a gentle temperament. Moreover, his face is also beautiful. It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Tian Ruan is a gentle, honest, humble and polite child."
Yu Jingmo had a faint smile on his lips and asked Tian Ruan: "What do you think?"
Tian Ruan: “…” What can he say, so awkward.
Principal Li waved, "Sit down and talk."
Tian Ruan sat obediently next to Yu Jingmo and said, "Thank you Director Hu for your recognition."
Director Hu smiled so hard that all sixteen teeth were visible: "No need to thank me, I am just a down-to-earth person."
Tian Ruan just smiled.
Principal Li said, "I know you have been wronged. This rumor has done great harm to a student like you. Don't worry, as soon as the results come out, the person who spread the rumor will be severely punished."
Tian Ruan thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to know who that person is. I just need to follow the school rules of Deyin."
Principal Li asked incredulously, "That's it?"
"Yeah." Tian Ruan nodded, "I am doing one good deed every day."
Principal Li smiled at Yu Jingmo and said, "Tian Ruan is indeed a rare good kid."
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
Tian Ruan: "Don't praise me anymore. If you continue to praise me, I will become arrogant."
Everybody laughed.
This is what Tian Ruan figured out, otherwise he would really do something like "severe punishment without mercy". Now Tian Ruan just wants to spend a peaceful winter vacation and prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination.
After coming out of the principal's office, Tian Ruan didn't dare to walk with Yu Jingmo in order to avoid being seen.
Yu Jingmo's tall and majestic figure was in front, and Tian Ruan was three or four meters behind him. It was already noon, and Yu Jingmo took him to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Tian Ruan became distracted while walking and his pace slowed down a lot. When he came back to his senses, Yu Jingmo was still not far away in front of him, and his pace slowed down to match Tian Ruan.
Vigorous faces passed by from time to time, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Yu Jingmo with amazement or fear as he walked by.
Tian Ruan walked in the interweaving of light and shadow among the corridors, flowers, trees and avenues, staring at Yu Jingmo's back, like a child chasing the footsteps of an adult.
Yu Jingmo slowly stopped, looked back at him, and said in a deep and soft voice: "There is no one here."
Tian Ruan suddenly came back to his senses, and at this moment, like thousands of other young boys, he ran towards his lover.
Yu Jingmo caught his hand accurately.
Tian Ruan interlocked his fingers with hers, his palms tightly wrapped in warmth, and he curved his eyes in pleasure: "Mr. Yu, I really like you."
Yu Jingmo glanced at the young man beside him, tightened his fingers again, and asked, "Why?"
"Because you are you."
Yu Jingmo, the one and only man in the world, might not express much verbally, but every detail comforts Tian Ruan appropriately. With him around, it seems like there is nothing in the world to worry about.
Yu Jingmo chuckled: "I'm not as good as you think, but I really like you."
Tian Ruan: "Then we are like-minded people, and we like each other."
Yu Jingmo: "...You can change the word."
I went to a Cantonese restaurant to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and met Hai Chao again. Nan Huai Ju was also there.
Because of Yu Jingmo, Nan Huaiju didn't act up and greeted him honestly: "Tian Ruan, you're here for dinner too. Hello, uncle."
Yu Jingmo nodded and said to the waiter, "Both tables will pay together."
Although Nan Huaiju was not short of money, Hai Chao always asked him to pay for his meals, which made him feel embarrassed to eat too much. When someone treated him, he would eat heartily, his lips glistening with oil: "Thank you, uncle. Thank you, uncle."
Tian Ruan: "...You're welcome. Eat slowly."
Hai Chao had a blank expression on his face. He waited until Nan Huai had finished eating the oranges before he finished his work and sat down to eat a little. Nan Huai Ju deliberately left most of it and said, "I haven't touched this part yet, you can eat it."
"Yeah." Hai Chao didn't talk much while eating.
Nan Huaiju was feeling very uncomfortable, and he and Tian Ruan happened to have similar interests, so he started a conversation: "Uncle, I heard you were taking drugs?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guests at the next table looked over suspiciously.
Tian Ruan: "...Don't talk nonsense, kid. I was wrongly accused. I was taking vitamins."
"Vitamins." Nan Huaiju thought for a moment, and finally came to a conclusion, "Does it mean that if I take vitamins, I don't have to eat?"
Tian Ruan: "Sooner or later you will suffer from your lack of education if you keep doing this."
"?"
"Vitamins are just to supplement trace elements. You still need to eat."
Nan Huaiju nodded, "What are the benefits of taking vitamins?"
Tian Ruan glanced at Hai Chao and said, "Ask Hai Chao."
“He doesn’t take vitamins.”
"Oranges are rich in vitamin C. He must have eaten a lot of them."
Nan Huaiju didn't react for a moment and asked, "Hai Chao, do you like eating oranges? What are the benefits of eating oranges?"
Hai Chao: “…”
Hai Chao glanced at Tian Ruan who was trying not to laugh, and said calmly: "I didn't eat much, so I don't know."
Nan Huaiju said confidently: "It turns out that you don't know everything, just like me, a poor student."
Tian Ruan finally couldn't help laughing, but Nan Huaiju still looked puzzled.
After dinner, Yu Jingmo sent Tian Ruan back to school and said, "If you have nothing to do, you don't have to go to school this afternoon."
Tian Ruan: "No, if I'm not here, there will definitely be more rumors."
Only when Tian Ruan is in school and the truth comes out, he will be truly innocent. He didn't want to give others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I'll pick you up in the afternoon." Yu Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed the young man's fresh hair.
Tian Ruan smiled brightly: "Okay."
Tian Ruan spent the entire afternoon studying and reading.
A piece of Black Forest cake was placed in front of him, along with a cup of lemon tea. Tian Ruan looked at Lu Qiuyan in surprise, "How did you know I wanted something sweet?"
Lu Qiuyan: "I wish you can clear your name and make the world know your injustice."
Tian Ruan opened the small cake and took a bite happily, "Lu Qiuyan, you are so filial."
Lu Qiuyan: "...If you can't speak, don't eat."
Tian Ruan protected the cake and said, "You are so nice. Is that ok?"
In the afternoon, the student union will post a test sheet of all the ingredients of vitamins and fish oil on the electronic bulletin board.
Director Hu personally used his hoarse voice to make a special announcement in the broadcasting room: "Good afternoon, students and teachers. It is now 3:50 pm Beijing time. At 8:45 this morning, we received a report from a student that Tian Ruan from Class 1 of Senior Grade 3 took banned drugs and falsified their grades. This matter has been proven through testing and is completely false!"
"The published test form is on the school notice board, and everyone is welcome to visit. This incident is a major blow to a student's academic career. I hope everyone will not believe in rumors or spread them. Tian Ruan's achievements are obvious to all. He is a real talent and has no stains. If anyone is found to maliciously slander him again, he will be severely punished!"
"Tian Ruan is a well-mannered, polite and kind-hearted student. He specifically went to the principal to ask that the student who spread the rumor should not be punished, but only criticized anonymously according to school rules and placed on observation. I hope this student will reform himself, prepare well for the college entrance examination, and stop using those little tricks. Good grades are a student's greatest ability."
"Everyone has a happy winter vacation. I hope that when spring comes, Deyin will be in full bloom, and every student will rush to the mountains and seas for their dreams. The future is promising."
For the first time, everyone in Deyin listened quietly to Director Hu’s hoarse voice broadcast. In the elegant and subtle fragrance of winter plum blossoms, everyone rushed to the notice board.
Tian Ruan smiled generously: "This makes my body clear."
Two days later, Tian Ruan came to get his report card and homework and said goodbye to his classmates. Someone asked him if he wanted to attend the winter camp, but he declined, saying, "I want to prepare for the college entrance examination."
Classmate: "...Student bully, stop rolling. If you continue rolling, the people below you will die."
Tian Ruan smiled and said, "Students from poor families have no choice but to roll up."
Everyone thought, if you are from a poor family, then there are no rich people in Deyin - although Tian Ruan is only Yu Jingmo's "brother-in-law", his wealth is not to be underestimated.
During this winter vacation, no important plot happened. It was nothing more than the protagonists meeting, chatting, and falling in love. The window paper was never broken. The emperor was not anxious, but the eunuchs were, which made a large number of readers anxious.
Tian Ruan packed up his things and saw a girl standing at the door of the classroom.
Ai Ge laughed and said, "Translator for a publishing house, what else do you do?"
Tian Ruan was flexible and said, "Go ahead."
So Tian Ruan had three things to do this summer: prepare for the college entrance examination, take the IELTS, and translate a collection of poems. He made a rough plan and decided that there would be enough time as long as he was not too lazy.
He also borrowed all the professional books.
When Lu Qiuyan learned about his plan, he was shocked, "You are really good at making money."
Tian Ruan shook his head, "If we talk about the king of Deyin, it has to be Yu Shang."
"oh?"
"He has to take over four or five more companies during the winter break, take professional exams in fencing, boxing, piano, and violin, review, get a driver's license... I forgot what else he has to do."
"..." Lu Qiuyan said, "He is really capable."
Tian Ruan's mind moved, and he chuckled, "That's right, you are capable."
How could Lu Qiuyan not hear the hidden meaning in his words? He now learned to fight back: "No matter how capable he is, I'm afraid he's not as capable as his father."
Tian Ruan: "...You have become a bad person."
"I learned it from you."
Winter vacation officially began. On the first day, Tian Ruan slept until he woke up naturally, stretched, and stayed in bed, not wanting to get up. He casually turned on the English radio on his mobile phone and listened to it for a while. The automatic curtains slowly opened and the dazzling light made him close his eyes.
A big hand was supporting the bed, causing it to collapse slightly. The gentle scent of wood enveloped my nose.
Tian Ruan's forehead felt as if a feather had brushed across it, his eardrums vibrated, and he heard a voice that sounded like a cello from the forest: "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt."
"No way?" Tian Ruan refused to open his eyes, "I'm still sleeping."
Yu Jingmo chuckled: "Then the person who is talking to me now is sleepwalking?"
"The person you are talking to now is Tian Ruan No. 2."
"Tian Ruan No. 2? Calling Tian Ruan No. 1."
“There is no Tian Ruan No. 1, only Tian Ruan No. 0.”
"Calling Tian Ruan No. 0."
"Number 0 was tired last night and didn't want to get up."
"Call Tian Ruan 2."
"..." Tian Ruan suddenly opened her eyes and glared at the handsome man in front of her.
Yu Jingmo: "Oh, the idiot is awake."
"It's No. 2, not idiot." Tian Ruan corrected.
Yu Jingmo kissed his lips and said, "No. 2 or idiot, I like them both."
Tian Ruan turned his face away and said, "The password you entered is wrong. I won't kiss you."
Yu Jingmo sat beside the bed and said, "Call Tian Ruan No. 0."
"Number 0 is tired and can only come out at night."
"Is there a number 3?"
"No." Tian Ruan said, "I don't have multiple personalities."
"How can No. 2 get up?"
"The password is correct. I can answer your questions." Tian Ruan turned around and said, "Mr. Yu, please lift the quilt and let me put on my clothes."
Yu Jingmo lifted the quilt, and the spring scenery in the courtyard came into view. He raised his eyebrows slightly and stretched out his hand to tease Xiao Tianruan, "It's so soft and cute."
Tian Ruan covered it up: "...I asked you to put clothes on me, not to play with me."
Yu Jingmo found a pair of underwear from the closet, stretched it out and put it around the young man's slender white ankle. He held it tightly with his big hands and lifted up the pure cotton fabric.
"And one foot."
The fabric was draped over the legs. Yu Jingmo grabbed the other ankle, bent it up, and put it into the underwear.
Halfway through, Yu Jingmo seemed to find it amusing and played the Xiaotian Ruan again.
Tian Ruan blushed, "Why can't I grow up when yours is so big?"
“It’s a genetic problem.”
"My eldest brother and I are blood relatives, why is he older and I'm not?"
"How do you know he's big? Have you seen him?"
"I caught a glimpse of it at the pool of the Macchiato Hotel last year."
Yu Jingmo lowered his eyes and squinted at the innocent young man, "You didn't even know he was your elder brother at that time, so why were you staring at him?"
Tian Ruan: "...Everyone is wearing swimsuits. Even if you don't look carefully, you will see it."
It's really strange that this jar of vinegar was overturned.
"So, you saw everything else?" Yu Jingmo asked.
"yes."
"Are they all older than you?"
“…”
Yu Jingmo looked at the young man's embarrassed look and kneaded him with amusement, "Don't look at other people's private parts next time."
Tian Ruan put his knees together, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were sleepy. "...I don't want to watch it anymore. Don't punish me."
Yu Jingmo picked plum blossoms from the snow and showed them to Tian Ruan, "Just for a moment."
The snow this winter was particularly thick. In previous years, it was only sparse, but now the manor was covered with a thick layer of white.
Heavy snow means a good harvest. Tian Ruan is like the snow, and Yu Jingmo is the wind that stirs the snow crystals.
The wind scooped up the snow and sipped it carefully, and the snow turned into gurgling water, flowing through the white valley.
The giant dragon hidden in the hurricane roared out, soaring and crashing through the valley, causing snowflakes to flutter and plum blossoms to tremble.
The melted stream water was the dragon’s hot spring, where the dragon took a refreshing bath.
Tian Ruan also took a shower. Yu Jingmo carried him there, and he had to put on his clothes again.
"Mr. Yu, I need to review well during this winter vacation. I can't keep following you." Tian Ruan said to Yu Jingmo, "My head will be empty and I won't be able to learn anything."
Yu Jingmo: "I'll teach you."
"How do you teach?"
"I teach you as I cook, and I guarantee you will remember everything you have read."
“…”
