Chapter 213: Outburst "Lu Qiuyan, I can take care of you for the rest of your life."...
The spring night breeze is light and warm, blowing on people's faces like thin silk. Fireworks bloomed under the starry sky, meandered in the river, and the brilliant light illuminated the entire cruise ship.
Yu Jingmo's deep voice was even more intoxicating than this spring night: "Tian Ruan, will you marry me?"
The small red box was opened, revealing a pair of platinum rings with starlight and fire colors. They are like a pair of lovers who rely on each other, standing quietly in the velvet.
Tian Ruan looked across the candlelight and flowers and smiled warmly: "Yes."
From the contractual marriage at the beginning to the devoted love now, the time has not been long, but it is enough for him to be sure that Yu Jingmo is the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with.
He was willing to enter into this marriage with Yu Jingmo and was willing to be bound by this small ring for the rest of his life.
Yu Jingmo took out the ring with a slightly smaller ring size and solemnly put it on the young man's left ring finger.
Tian Ruan took out another ring and put it on the ring finger of Yu Jingmo's left hand.
Just at this moment, melodious violin music sounded, and the waiter brought a small strawberry cake with the words "Happy Wedding" written on it.
"I wish you two a happy marriage and a long-lasting love."
Tian Ruan smiled shyly and Yu Jingmo gave her a tip.
Tipping is a normal thing on a private cruise ship like this, and the waiter left with a smile.
The red wine was poured into a goblet, and Yu Jingmo handed a glass to Tian Ruan, "This day every year from now on will also be our wedding anniversary."
"Doesn't that mean we have to celebrate it twice a year?" Tian Ruan said.
"If you like, you can spend every day here."
"Forget it..." Tian Ruan's butt couldn't bear the daily tossing.
After the candlelight dinner, the fireworks were still on. Tian Ruan calculated that it had been at least half an hour. Fireworks cost money by the second. For such a long time, at least millions must have been spent.
Tian Ruan felt a little heartbroken, but the fireworks were really beautiful, especially when reflected by the river water, they were as brilliant as auspicious clouds in the sky.
When the fireworks were over, the two walked off the cruise ship hand in hand, and suddenly saw Mao Qi and three bodyguards escorting a sneaky man on the shore. Without waiting for them to ask, Mao Qi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yu, this man sneaked onto the ship and buried homemade explosive packs everywhere."
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo remained calm and said calmly, "Hand it over to the police."
Mao Qi nodded and took the cursing man away.
His fingers suddenly tightened, Tian Ruan looked up at Yu Jingmo, who held his hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, it's nothing."
"Um."
With Yu Jingmo in his position, there must be a lot of people who want to take advantage of him. Yu Jingmo has long been accustomed to playing this "catch the thief" game from time to time.
"As the weather warms up, the Wang family will go bankrupt," said Tian Ruan.
Yu Jingmo laughed: "It's not the Wang family, it's the Liang family."
"Do you know who hurt you?"
"Um."
"Is it dangerous?" Tian Ruan grabbed Yu Jingmo's slender and powerful fingers with his backhand.
Yu Jingmo walked him to the car, opened the door, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I am more dangerous."
Tian Ruan crouched down and got into the car. "As expected, he is our protagonist's most evil, arrogant, cold and dictatorial boss dad."
Yu Jingmo did not comment, but let Tian Ruan experience the excitement and happiness of a "newlywed" after returning home.
…
When the mock exam results came out, Tian Ruan secured the second place in the grade as he wished.
What surprised him but not too much was that Lu Qiuyan fell out of the top 20 in the grade.
When the results came out, Lu Qiuyan himself was fine, but Yu Shang frowned and knocked on Lu Qiuyan's desk during the break, "Come out for a moment."
Lu Qiuyan lay on the table without moving, and said lazily: "What are you doing?"
"I want to ask you something."
Lu Qiuyan ignored him and turned his head to the other side, staring at somewhere in the void with unfocused eyes.
Yu Shang stood at the desk, his eyes lowered, his brows almost wrinkled to form the Chinese character "川", "Lu Qiuyan, come out with me."
After a long while, Lu Qiuyan sat up straight, looking sullen. He stood up impatiently, put his hands in his pockets, and staggered out of the classroom following Yu Shang.
The quiet classroom began to whisper again.
Tian Ruan stared at Lu Qiuyan as he walked out of the classroom, but still worried, so he picked up his books, pretended to study hard, and quietly followed him out.
The campus avenues of Deyin are lined with tall cherry trees. It is spring time, with gentle breezes and warm sun. The pink mist-like petals are blown by the wind and drifted to the flower bed in front of the teaching building.
Orioles, sparrows, swallows, and flocks of white pigeons flew by, making the scene as beautiful as being in a fairy tale.
Tian Ruan looked at the two young men in white clothes who slowly stopped in the flower bed. They were almost the same height, both tall and straight, and they were pleasing to the eye just standing there.
"...Did something happen in your family?" Yu Shang asked Lu Qiuyan, "Your grades dropped so much."
Lu Qiuyan raised his chin slightly and stared at a cloud in the sky. Because the sunlight was glaring, he squinted his thin eyelids slightly, and his pupils were as black and shiny as two gemstones. "Nothing."
"Then what's wrong with you?" Yu Shang frowned and looked at his face.
Lu Qiuyan had very long eyelashes. When she lowered her eyes, two small fan-shaped shadows fell on her lower eyelids. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Are you annoying? You care so much. Is the Pacific Ocean yours?"
Yu Shang was silent for a moment, "If you don't want to talk, I can't force you."
Lu Qiuyan kicked a small stone from somewhere, which squeaked under his feet. He frowned and looked annoyed: "What does it have to do with you? You control me every day, but can you control me forever?"
"Yes." Yu Shang said.
“…”
"Lu Qiuyan, I can take care of you for the rest of your life." Yu Shang said seriously, "As long as you are willing."
Lu Qiuyan looked up in surprise, and pale pink cherry petals suddenly floated over and hit his face. He wanted to raise his hand to block the wanton wind, but Yu Shang stood in front of him unexpectedly. Then the scorching sun and the singing of the orioles all lost their color and sound, and the young man in front of him was the only source of light that he had touched in his youth.
Just standing in front of him was radiant, incomparable, and beyond words.
"Devil wind, it's a good start." Tian Ruan hid his face behind the pages of the open book, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and laughed.
The wind gradually died down, and flower petals fluttered all over the two young men.
Lu Qiuyan raised his hand and waved, "I'm about to get hay fever, so I won't say any more."
Yu Shang noticed that there were a few flower petals on his head, so he took a step closer and raised his hand to remove them.
Lu Qiuyan was startled, and then began to stagger.
Yu Shang immediately supported him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Qiuyan pushed him away. "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."
Yu Shang turned his back and carried him on his back, saying without hesitation, "Send you to the infirmary."
"...No need, I'll be fine after a nap." Lu Qiuyan said dizzily.
Yu Shang did not let him down, but strode towards the infirmary.
Amid the slight bumps, Lu Qiuyan lay on Yu Shang's broad back, which had the shape of an adult's body. Suddenly, he discovered that Yu Shang's shoulders were really broad, and his waist and arms were very strong. Leaning on them made people feel at ease.
He suddenly felt sleepy.
"Lu Qiuyan, what's wrong with you?" Another pleasant and lively voice brought Lu Qiuyan back to reality.
Tian Ruan said anxiously, "Do you have a fever?"
Lu Qiuyan: “…Shut up.”
"Oh." Tian Ruan accompanied him to the infirmary and confirmed with the school doctor again and again that Lu Qiuyan just had a slight fever and caught a cold, and that he would be fine after an IV drip and a good night's sleep. Only then did he feel relieved.
Yu Shang said, "I'll accompany you, you go back to class."
Tian Ruan nodded, but did not return to the classroom. Instead, he went to the school supermarket to buy two bottles of energy drinks, took the lunch box and sent it to the infirmary, "This is for you to eat at noon."
"Um."
This is all Tian Ruan can do. Every family has its own problems, and Lu Qiuyan's family is the most difficult. However, in the end, things still developed in the direction of the original book.
Before Lu Qiuyan fell ill, he actually had a big fight with his family.
Lu's mother heard from somewhere that Lu Qiuyan and Yu Shang were dating, so she questioned him again and again. Lu Qiuyan denied it every time. He was too lazy to argue with him the first few times, until the time when he completely exploded - it should have been last night.
"Who is Yu Shang? Who am I? How could I possibly date him? Mom, don't believe everything you hear. There is no chance for Yu Shang and I!"
Mother Lu was also very confused: "How can it be impossible? You have excellent academic performance, and your character and appearance are all top-notch. Even if Yu Shang is of noble status, he is just an adopted son. How can you not be worthy of him?"
"Mom, what do you mean? You're eager for me to marry into a rich family, right?" Lu Qiuyan asked in return, "You're eager for me to fall in love with Yu Shang, right?"
"That's not what I meant!" Mother Lu said. She realized that the walls of this dilapidated community were very thin and her words could easily be heard by the neighbors. She controlled her temper and whispered, "I just think that you are not unworthy of Yu Shang. If you really have something going on with him, you might as well tell me. I'm your mother, and I have the right to know who my son is dating."
"No, I'm not in a relationship with Yu Shang." Lu Qiuyan said coldly, "We won't be in a relationship either."
"Then why does he bring you food every day? Why does he take care of you in everything? Why is he so nice to you alone?"
“…We are just classmates, just friends.”
"How can your mother not know what those noble children are thinking?" Mother Lu sneered, "They just want to have fun. You are still too naive. What if you get cheated..."
"I wasn't deceived." Lu Qiuyan interrupted, "Mom, just say what you want to say."
Mother Lu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "If you are really in love, this relationship will not last long, and you will suffer. I don't want you to suffer, Qiu Yan, you should always think about yourself."
“What are you considering?” Lu Qiuyan still didn’t understand.
Mother Lu stared at her son. "Since we have agreed, you should get some benefits, right? The Yu family is rich and powerful, and it would only take a few clicks to help our family make a comeback."
At that moment, Lu Qiuyan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such ridiculous words. But he looked at his mother's half-old and half-stern face, and those thin lips could utter the most helpless words in the world.
"Qiu Yan, you can't let this happen." Mother Lu's cheeks trembled, and she dared not look at her son again, avoiding him in panic, "I'm doing this for your own good. Your relationship is destined to be like dew, evaporating at dawn. Why don't you maximize your benefits?"
Lu Qiuyan stepped back, looking at his mother in disbelief, and bumped into a chair, feeling no pain at all.
"You are young now and don't understand the truth. Merchants' feelings are destined to give way to interests. Your father and I are like this, and you will be like this in the future. Even if you are not a Yu merchant, you will marry a woman who you don't love but can help you."
Lu Qiuyan didn’t want to listen anymore, and laughed angrily: “Ridiculous, Mom, you are so ridiculous…”
On this chilly spring night, Lu Qiuyan rushed out of the door and froze all night.
