Chapter 212: Elopement (Two in One) We still have a formal...
"I am not you, and Mr. Yu is not Qi Feng." Tian Ruan said.
Zhou Gu said sadly: "In the beginning, everyone thought they were different."
"Maybe. But any relationship needs to be managed. If you let it go, your expectations will certainly get further and further away from you."
Zhou Gu said no more, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his face looked grim.
"You still have a long life ahead of you. If you give Qi Feng away, you will have a chance for a delayed release."
"If Yu Jingmo breaks the law, will you also give him up?" Zhou Gu asked sharply.
Tian Ruan was silent for a moment, "Yes. Loving someone is not a reason to cover up his crime."
Zhou Gu was stunned, then laughed out loud: "I am not as selfless as you. If he dies, I will not be able to survive either."
Tian Ruan found it difficult to understand Zhou Gu, and Zhou Gu also found it difficult to understand Tian Ruan.
The two looked at each other, already unable to speak any more. Tian Ruan said: "You are only 25 years old, you still have a long life ahead of you. You need to think it over carefully."
Zhou Gu: "Thank you, I think it through clearly."
For a person who has no relatives, it is a blessing to encounter a ray of light in life. No matter whether this light falls from heaven or is a devil's temptation from hell, he has no way of telling the difference and is willing to keep following it.
Even if the ending is destined to be broken into pieces.
From this, Tian Ruan understood that even if he wanted to change, some things and some people would still follow their original destiny, just like Lu's mother and Zhou Gu.
For example, Tian Ruan, He Lans, and Du Henbie, what prompted them to change was not external reasons, but their inner selves.
When a person is pretending to be asleep, he cannot be woken up.
…
A week later, the armed forces of the manor were withdrawn. The bodyguards were reluctant to leave, but when they thought about having to get up at five o'clock every day to run with weights, having a unified bathing and bedtime at night, and not being able to look at their phones while on shift, their reluctance immediately turned into smiles.
The housekeeper set up several tables for them outdoors and had a farewell dinner together.
Perhaps because they had completed their mission, the captain allowed them to indulge themselves a little, and as a result, half of the wine in the estate's wine cellar was gone. When the housekeeper found out about this, he was so frightened that he came to ask Tian Ruan for instructions.
Tian Ruan waved her hand and said, "It's just wine, drink it."
Butler: "Those wines are at least ten years old. The older ones cost hundreds of thousands per bottle..."
Tian Ruan: "...Who sent it?"
Housekeeper: "Da Zhuang moved it!"
Tian Ruan's heart ached. "It's okay. I told Mr. Yu. Just drink it. Even the best wine is meant to be drunk. It's more meaningful to give it to the distinguished guests."
Sure enough, after telling Yu Jingmo about this, he said in a flat voice: "The owner of the winery will send wine regularly, so there is no need to worry about not having good wine."
The farewell banquet lasted until the evening. Yu Jingmo came back and had a drink with them. As the lady of the house, Tian Ruan naturally had to have a drink as well.
Picking up a glass of wine worth thousands of dollars, Tian Ruan drank it all in one gulp. His generous gesture drew warm applause.
Tian Ruan's eyebrows relaxed, her cheeks flushed, and she smiled and said, "Thank you all for these days--"
When he opened his eyes, he was in the bathroom and was placed in a warm bathtub with bubbles.
Tian Ruan: “…”
"Awake?" Yu Jingmo dropped a few drops of skin care essential oil into the water, and the young man was the whitest doll among the petals and foam.
The porcelain doll's face was still flushed, and her brown pupils were clear and blurry. She asked stupidly, "What's wrong with me?"
"One glass and you're down." Yu Jingmo couldn't help laughing, "Luckily I'm here, otherwise you would have fallen and become even more stupid."
Tian Ruan nodded.
Seeing him like this, Yu Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed his head.
After a while, Tian Ruan finally stopped being stupid and jumped up from Yu Jingmo in shock, "Homework! I haven't done my homework yet!"
Yu Jingmo pushed him to sit down.
Tian Ruan immediately groaned, her cheeks turning even redder, "... so deep..."
Yu Jingmo held his waist and slowly lifted him up. Foam spread and gathered around his body, a white patch. "Tomorrow is Saturday. Did you forget?"
Tian Ruan thought carefully, and finally recalled some information in his hazy head, "It's Saturday, I can do my homework tomorrow."
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo moved suddenly.
Tian Ruan felt like he was riding a roller coaster, with a huge wave of air coming towards him. He swallowed it all in one breath, and before he could exhale, another huge wave of air came towards him.
The speeding car went up and down, left and right, and the strong wind it brought made Tian Ruan shake constantly, sweat soaking his muscles and bones, and the sky was full of clouds.
...Tian Ruan's life returned to normal.
On Saturday morning, he woke up, memorized some words, wrote a short French composition, and then finished his homework.
After lunch, take a stroll, admire the plum and cherry blossoms in the manor, and throw some fish food to the red carp in the pond.
In the afternoon, he would write two test papers and check his classmates' group for a while. When the tutor arrived, he would sit up straight and not dare to slack off for a moment.
At night, he sometimes ate at home and sometimes accompanied Yu Jingmo to banquets, fulfilling his duties as a rich young father and serving as a shield for Yu Jingmo against bad love affairs.
Ever since Tian Ruan and Yu Jingmo repeatedly showed their affection at banquets, the news gradually spread in the business circle - Yu Jingmo was really moved and was being very sweet with his young wife.
Those who knew what was good for them no longer tried to force people on Yu Jingmo, and Tian Ruan felt a lot quieter.
The breath of spring is getting stronger and it is April now.
Tian Ruan changed into the spring school uniform and stood in front of the full-length mirror in the cloakroom, looking neat and tidy. Yu Jingmo picked up the sandalwood bracelet on the glass cabinet and put it on his white and delicate right wrist.
"If it affects writing, you can switch to your left hand," said Yu Jingmo.
"No need. I can see it every time I write, just like seeing Mr. Yu." Tian Ruan felt at ease when she smelled the scent of sandalwood. It was the scent left from Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo smiled and took out the big gold watch that Tian Ruan gave him from the glass counter, "Spring is here, it's time to show off your wealth."
Tian Ruan: "…Isn't this very nice looking? How can it be considered showing off your wealth?"
What Yu Jingmo said was indeed true. In this season when one can take off complicated clothes and wear simple outfits, the beauty-loving students of Deyin all showed off their talents in dressing themselves up.
After arriving at the school, Tian Ruan found that the boys' hairstyles were more neat, and the girls wore all kinds of expensive accessories, with gems sparkling and gold and silver glittering in the reflection of the morning sun.
Deyin only regulates students’ attire and is very tolerant of accessories and the like. Everyone loves beauty, and as an aristocratic school, how can we destroy the nature of our students?
"...Why do you always stare at girls? Have you changed your personality?" Lu Qiuyan's cold voice called back Tian Ruan's soul which had run a few meters away.
Tian Ruan said happily: "They are so pretty and youthful."
Lu Qiuyan was silent for a moment: "You suddenly like girls?"
Tian Ruan was stunned, "I am just admiring it."
"Appreciate?" Lu Qiuyan turned his head and understood, "Oh, you want to appreciate their big gold bracelets and gemstone necklaces?"
“…”
Several girls ran by together, giggling and glancing at Lu Qiuyan from time to time. A girl with long hair was pushed out and suddenly stood in front of them.
Tian Ruan flashed swiftly and was three meters away, leaving Lu Qiuyan to face the plot of the idol drama.
The girl blushed and handed over a pink envelope, "Senior Lu, I, I like you!"
Lu Qiuyan was a full head taller than the girl, with drooping eyelashes, and he spoke with a critical attack: "You have less hair."
girl:"……"
“I don’t like short hair.”
“Wuwaaa…” The girl ran away crying. Some of her sisters chased after her, while others glared at Lu Qiuyan in shame and anger, “Why are you like this? This is too much.”
Lu Qiuyan was carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder. Wearing the same boys' school uniform, he had a rebellious temperament. He stared at the girl, and she actually blushed.
Tian Ruan opened his eyes wide and ate the melon, "Oh hoo hoo~"
Lu Qiuyan might be blind. He was impatient to be confessed by a stranger, and he didn’t want to be blocked in the middle of the road for no reason. He was not a monkey. “Get lost.”
girl:"……"
Tian Ruan: "Lu Qiuyan, you are really going too far."
Lu Qiuyan: "You're not going too far. You can accept their confessions, one a day, is that okay?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
The girl was a hot-tempered person. She stomped on Lu Qiuyan's foot hard and ran away in anger.
Lu Qiuyan's face changed. Deyin's leather shoes were all made of calfskin, which were extremely sturdy, especially the heels of the girls' leather shoes were particularly thick. Stepping on them was like a hundred kilograms of rice falling on your feet.
Tian Ruan looked down at Lu Qiuyan's feet, "Are you okay?"
Lu Qiuyan held his breath for a few seconds, "...Fuck."
This campus idol drama ends with the male protagonist limping towards the classroom.
Yu Shang had arrived a long time ago. He held a meeting at the Student Union, gave a brief explanation, and then returned to the classroom, just in time to see Lu Qiuyan being stepped on.
"What?" Lu Qiuyan glared. He knew it had nothing to do with Yu Shang, but he got angry for no reason when he saw him.
"Go to the infirmary." Yu Shang pulled him without saying anything.
"No. Just rest for a while." Lu Qiuyan wanted to shake him off.
Yu Shang didn't let go of his wrist. He stared into his eyes and said, "I can carry you to the infirmary."
“…”
Tian Ruan agreed on behalf of Lu Qiuyan: "Okay, okay."
Yu Shang was really capable of doing this. Lu Qiuyan couldn't afford to lose face, so he followed Yu Shang to the infirmary awkwardly.
Tian Ruan watched them walk away with an auntie smile on her face. Just as she was about to enter the classroom, a piece of black charcoal suddenly jumped out, howling like a ghost. Tian Ruan's ears buzzed, "Wang Weiqi! I'm not dead!"
Wang Weiqi was heartbroken: "I'm going to die, Nan Mengyao is going abroad!"
"oh."
"What's your reaction? You're my former classmate, don't you feel anything at all?"
Tian Ruan: "Half of Deyin's graduates go abroad. Did you just find out about this today?"
Wang Weiqi cried and said, "But Nan Mengyao hasn't graduated yet. She was my goddess. She left me so early. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life?"
Tian Ruan: "There's a lot of tofu in the supermarket. You can just buy a piece and get killed."
"...Tofu can't kill you, don't try to fool me."
"Then find a noodle and hang yourself."
Wang Weiqi cried like crazy, "What should I do? Without my goddess, I have no goals in life. My future is dark."
The students in the classroom looked at him one after another, with indescribable expressions in their eyes. Tian Ruan was a little embarrassed and quickly kicked Wang Weiqi into the garden, "You can bask in the sun here for a day, and it won't be dark anymore."
Wang Weiqi lay on the edge of the flower bed, sprawled out like a wandering poet: "You don't understand my feelings at all. Nan Mengyao was the first girl I liked. Now that she's gone, I have nothing left to live for."
"Really? There's a girl with big waves over there."
"Where, where?" Wang Weiqi immediately jumped up and looked around like a monkey, "...You are lying."
Tian Ruan didn't understand either, "You gave up a long time ago, why are you still obsessed with a single flower? Are you just pretending?"
"No, I didn't. I'm so sad," Wang Weiqi said. "She left without even saying hello."
"Why should I say hello to you? You are not related to Nan Mengyao."
“Wooooooaaaa…”
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Tian Ruan consoled, "Study hard now, and when you get to college, you'll have more goddesses or handsome men."
"Bah, I'm straight, I don't want a male god." Wang Weiqi looked at Tian Ruan, "Unless you are as beautiful as me."
Tian Ruan gave a slap.
Wang Weiqi touched his head, which was groaning in pain, and said, "Why are you so strong? Damn, it hurts."
Tian Ruan: "I'm going to read in the morning. Bye."
Wang Weiqi: "I haven't finished yet. Did you know that Nan Huaiju also went abroad? And Hai Chao!"
"?"
This was beyond Tian Ruan's expectations. Although he knew that Hai Chao would go abroad one day, he didn't expect it to be so soon, and with Nan Huaiju. From a+b=ab, we can conclude that these two people must have eloped!
Thunder rumbled in the sky and Tian Ruan became rigid.
This kind of plot that only appears in novels actually happened?
"What's the big deal?" Tian Ruan pretended to be calm. "It's just going abroad. I want to study abroad in the future."
The thunder did not stop there. Not long after the morning reading began, a shrill female voice was heard: "Give my son back to me!"
Everyone stretched their heads to look.
Tian Ruan's heart skipped a beat, and he walked out of the classroom, only to see a charming woman with big red-brown waves being urged by Director Hu: "Ms. Hai, please come this way, let's go to the principal's office to discuss in detail, otherwise we will disturb the students' morning reading."
Hai Mingyue was dressed in designer clothes, jewels and exquisite makeup. She couldn't hide the panic in her eyes. Her high heels made the sound of clacking as she hurried up the stairs in the teaching building to the principal's office.
Tian Ruan retracted his head, calmed down and continued to recite classical Chinese.
After a while, Director Hu, with his goatee, stood at the door of the classroom and said, "Student Tian Ruan, come here."
Tian Ruan hesitantly put down the book and walked over, "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Hai wants to ask you a few questions."
“I don’t know anything?”
"It's okay, just asking."
Tian Ruan walked towards the principal's office with a confused look on her face. Director Hu opened the door and led the way in, smiling: "Ms. Hai, Tian Ruan is here."
In addition to Hai Mingyue, Yu Fadada was also there, and he smiled back politely. Hai Mingyue glared at Tian Ruan fiercely, "Did you take Hai Chao away?"
Tian Ruan: "??? Are you mistaken? I don't have that much ability."
"You don't, but Yu Jingmo does."
Yu Fadada held Hai Mingyue's hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We will find Hai Chao eventually. He must be just angry for a moment."
"If someone hadn't instigated him, why would he drop out of school?" Hai Mingyue asked excitedly, "Hai Chao has always been a worry-free person, why would he suddenly abandon us?"
Tian Ruan smiled: "According to your logic, Hai Chao has no ideas of his own and is just a puppet at your mercy?"
Hai Mingyue froze suddenly. "I gave birth to him after ten months of pregnancy, carefully raised him up, and sent him to the best school. I did it all for his own good. I never interfered with him going to work and making money on his own. He had his own ideas, and I didn't interfere much..."
The more she talked, the more she contradicted herself.
On the one hand, she wants to control him, but on the other hand, she lets him go; on the one hand, she longs for her son to become successful, but on the other hand, she is afraid of being left alone.
Hai Mingyue herself couldn't make sense of it, so she could only hold on to one point: "I want to know Hai Chao's whereabouts. Why did he drop out of school for no reason? I want you to give me an explanation!"
Principal Li said in a gentle and elegant manner: "Ms. Hai, don't be anxious..."
"We know you're anxious," Director Hu continued, "but there's nothing we can do even if we're extremely anxious."
Hai Mingyue: “…”
Yu Fadada acted like the master of the house: "Principal Li, Director Hu, Tian Ruan, as long as you tell us the truth, we will not entangle you."
Principal Li sat behind her desk, her hands crossed on the tabletop. The lesson plan beside her smelled of ink. She wore glasses and looked gentle and polite. "Hai Chao came to see me before. He said that he was not suitable for Deyin's education and wanted to choose another school. As for which school, he had not yet decided clearly."
Director Hu: "Student Hai Chao has never come to see me."
Tian Ruan: "...he never looked for me. Although I am his uncle, he didn't acknowledge me." Nan Huaiju acknowledged me, but he left without saying a word. It was speechless.
Hai Mingyue stared at Tian Ruan, "I don't believe it. You are the person closest to Hai Chao in this school. It is impossible that he didn't say anything to you."
Tian Ruan: "The closest person? If I were to say the closest person..." it would definitely be Nan Huaiju, "It would definitely be you as a mother."
Hai Mingyue also wanted to do so, but things did not go as she wished. Hai Chao never showed any affection towards her. Since childhood, Hai Chao was different from other children. He was taciturn and never made anyone worry about his eating and sleeping. Therefore, she had no worries every time she had a tryst with a man.
As time went by, she forgot Hai Chao's age and birthday. Hai Chao seemed to have grown up in a short time from five to eighteen years old.
Only then did Hai Mingyue realize that her son had grown from a fledgling into an eagle, flying to a wider sky, without ever telling her, his mother, a word.
Why?
Is it because of... disappointment?
Thinking of this, Hai Mingyue began to tremble. No matter how Yu Fadada tried to comfort her, she could not listen. She just burst into tears, and her makeup was smudged. "Doesn't he feel a little bit reluctant? Did he just abandon my mother like this?"
Tian Ruan's heart was calm. From the day Hai Chao was born as an illegitimate child, he was the fruit of sin. Perhaps he had longed for his parents' love, but these two people were not worthy of being his parents.
Hai Chao, who grew up like an orphan, just like Tian Ruan before, had no special expectations for his parents, let alone any feelings for them.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, allowing birds to fly freely. Once they fly away from the sea, they will never come back.
Tian Ruan suddenly felt a sense of pleasure and was sincerely happy for Hai Chao, as he had finally broken free from the shackles of his deformed family.
And what is different from the original book is that Hai Chao not only got rid of his parents, but also found true love.
"Hahahahahaha..." Tian Ruan really laughed.
The office was deathly quiet.
Tian Ruan: "People really laugh when they are speechless. I laugh when I have nothing to say."
Hai Mingyue stared at him suspiciously, "You must know something, right?"
Tian Ruan took out his phone and showed it to Hai Mingyue, "The last time Hai Chao and I chatted was two months ago."
He was too lazy to say more, "Class is about to start, Principal, can I go back to class?"
Principal Li nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Tian Ruan walked out of the principal's office happily and returned to the classroom.
In fact, he lied. He had met Hai Chao and Nan Huaiju a week ago.
They met by chance in the restaurant. At that time, Yu Shang was busy in the student union, so Lu Qiuyan went to the student union to eat lunch with him. Of course Tian Ruan would not disturb the young couple's "date". She wandered around the restaurant by herself and shared a table with Hai Chaonan and Huai Ju.
At that time, Nan Huaiju looked dazed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Tian Ruan felt strange and asked, "Juzi, do you have anything to say?"
Nan Huaiju stammered, "Nothing."
"Did you do it with Hai Chao?" Tian Ruan guessed.
Nan Huaiju spat out a mouthful of food, luckily it was the spring rolls that he was eating, not the soup.
Hai Chao frowned, took a tissue and wiped him, then gave Tian Ruan a cold look.
Nan Huaiju blushed with shame and glared at Tian Ruan angrily.
Tian Ruan was surprised: "It was just a joke, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Nan Huaiju buried his little face in the soup bowl, gulped down several mouthfuls, suppressed his heart blockage and said, "It's none of your business."
Tian Ruan: “?”
Why not refute? Why? ?
Tian Ruan didn't dare to ask. Things like eating the forbidden fruit are known to heaven, earth, you and me, so it's better not to let anyone else know.
Hai Chao's expression was calm, and he looked at Tian Ruan with a smile, "Thanks to you, things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme."
Tian Ruan didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
Now, after thinking about it carefully, Tian Ruan figured out some of the meaning - Hai Chao and Nan Huaiju had been holding it in for a long time because of some reason given by him, and finally one night, it all exploded.
This makes sense, because every time Hai Chao saw Tian Ruan this semester, he had a sour face, except for the last time.
Tian Ruan didn't know what he had done wrong. He tried hard to recall, and thought 360 degrees without any blind spots. He had not done anything wrong. He was really eager to ship the couple, so how could he obstruct them?
Hai Chao must have misunderstood something.
I am not wrong.
That's it.
Don't remember the pseudoscience that having sex too early will affect the development of the baby.
When Tian Ruan arrived at the classroom, he secretly told Lu Qiuyan: "Hai Chao and Nan Huai Ju eloped."
After class, I secretly told Yu Shang: "Hai Chao and Nan Huai Ju eloped."
Seeing Xi Qin and Xie Tangyan, he whispered, "Hai Chao and Nan Huai Ju eloped."
After school, he secretly told Yu Jingmo: "Hai Chao and Nan Huai Ju eloped."
Yu Jingmo: "I know."
Tian Ruan: "??? How do you know?"
Yu Jingmo: "Second brother came to me."
"What does Yu Fadada want you to do? To help him find Hai Chao?"
"Um."
"Then you must not agree to it, otherwise you will harm Hai Chao."
"Um."
Tian Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew Mr. Yu was the best."
Yu Jingmo: "There is no benefit to be gained, it is not worthwhile to agree to it."
Tian Ruan nodded, "As expected, Mr. Yu is still Mr. Yu."
Yu Jingmo smiled, took him to the riverside, boarded the cruise ship, and when night fell, the two of them had a candlelight dinner together in an open-air restaurant.
Tian Ruan was used to Yu Jingmo's little romance from time to time, but tonight seemed different. Colorful fireworks suddenly exploded among the stars and fell into the river. The rippling waves were like a fairy's shawl, extending all the way to their feet.
In the gentle evening breeze, Yu Jingmo handed over a small red velvet box, "I've thought about it, it would be better for us to have a formal proposal ceremony."
Tian Ruan: “?”
