Chapter 214: Pretty good "One time... one hundred thousand." Tian Ruan said angrily...
"It's better to explode. Let it out, and your heart will be at peace." As Tian Ruan got to know Lu Qiuyan better, he realized more and more that the success or failure of a person's family depends on the parents' thoughts.
Perhaps, a long time later, Lu Qiuyan will still have regrets about his parents.
But who can guarantee that even if they understand each other for a while, they won’t quarrel with each other later?
In this family ethics drama, there is never an optimal solution. Parents have rigid thinking and under the pretext of doing good for their children, the children’s escape becomes a mistake and a betrayal.
Tian Ruan respected Lu Qiuyan's choice and thought it was a good idea for him to join the army.
There is never more than one path in life.
In the afternoon, Lu Qiuyan returned to class as usual. Tian Ruan did not ask any more questions, but only said, "I support all your choices."
The next few days were calm.
It wasn't until Sunday that Yu Family Manor received a phone call.
It was Lu's mother who called. She said, "Lu Qiuyan's father and I want to treat Yu Shang to a meal to thank him for taking care of Lu Qiuyan over the past two years."
The housekeeper handed the phone to Tian Ruan, the only one at home.
If it was the cannon fodder "Tian Yuan" in the original book, he would naturally refuse and humiliate her, but Tian Ruan just said politely: "It depends on whether Yu Shang has time."
Mother Lu: "It's okay, I can wait."
Tian Ruan guessed that Yu Shang would definitely be willing, but doing so would fulfill Lu's mother's wishes and embarrass Lu Qiuyan. He called Yu Shang and carefully considered his words: "Lu Qiuyan's mother invited you to dinner. I think she is most likely attracted to you."
Yu Shang: "?? Please be careful with your words."
"Oh, I didn't mean that she likes you, I mean that she likes you to be her son-in-law."
“…”
"High school students are not allowed to fall in love. You made a vow yourself. Have you forgotten it?"
Yu Shang was silent for a moment, "I haven't forgotten."
"So you know whether you should eat this meal or not."
"You don't have to tell me." Yu Shang said, "I'm in the capital now and can't go back."
"That's good."
So Tian Ruan happily called Lu's mother back, pretending to be regretful: "Yu Shang is on a business trip. He is busier than me. After all, he needs to help Mr. Yu manage his big family."
Mother Lu: "It's okay, next time."
I can never make an appointment for next time.
Lu's father and mother were angry with Lu Qiuyan. They blamed their son for not living up to his expectations and not being able to seize the ready-made gold and silver and the backing that would help Lu make a comeback.
After arguing with them till the end, Lu Qiuyan was left frustrated and too lazy to argue any more.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Hai Chao, who could just leave like that and completely get rid of his so-called parents.
What about him? Can I just walk away like this?
Lu Qiuyan's inner struggle was not obvious during the day when he was at school or working. He only looked a little lonely when he occasionally frowned and looked up at the clouds and birds in the sky.
Tian Ruan looked through all the youth novels, but was unable to find the best solution for Lu Qiuyan. It seemed that only by escaping from this world and breaking free from these shackles could he gain true freedom.
And that day will come soon.
Tian Ruan was reluctant to leave, and went to and from school with Lu Qiuyan, looked for delicious snacks together at noon, and hung out in bars or hotels together on weekends, watching all kinds of people laughing and making noises.
These things would be meaningless if I didn’t do them with Lu Qiuyan.
He suddenly realized that Lu Qiuyan was not only his classmate and future daughter-in-law, but also his best friend.
No one is like Lu Qiuyan who can pick up on his jokes, tolerate his eccentricities, and solve all his problems with his fists without saying a word.
The more Tian Ruan thought about it, the more depressed she became. When she saw Lu Qiuyan at school, she wanted to cry.
"What's with that expression on your face?" Lu Qiuyan said with disgust, "I'm not dead yet."
Tian Ruan was about to cry: "Lu Qiuyan, no matter where you go, don't forget that you are my good daughter-in-law."
Lu Qiuyan: “…Get lost.”
Tian Ruan didn't want to say those sour words and continued to joke with Lu Qiuyan. He felt that it was fine this way and there was no need to make it like a life-and-death separation.
It was only five years, and he was able to wait for Lu Qiuyan to come back. At that time, he was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, still very young.
After finishing his homework in the evening, Tian Ruan stretched his waist in front of the desk and yawned loudly. However, it was not time to go to bed yet, as he wanted to review the summary of wrong questions from previous exams.
He gave himself a ten-minute break, during which he could do whatever he wanted, check his phone, eat snacks, or chat.
There was a knock on the door, and Tian Ruan said as usual: "Come in."
Yu Jingmo strode in with his long legs, holding a bowl of fruit in his hand. The rich yogurt contained strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries that Tian Ruan liked. "Thank you for your hard work, my little candidate. Eat something delicious to nourish your brain."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu." Tian Ruan happily took the fruit spoon, scooped a bite with a spoon and put it into his mouth, feeling full of happiness.
Yu Jingmo liked to see young people being happy when they had something delicious, and they looked very well behaved.
Tian Ruan did not forget to give Yu Jingmo a bite as well, "Try it."
Yu Jingmo lowered his eyes and looked at the strawberry covered with thick white yogurt, his eyes slightly darker, "This one looks a lot like you."
While Tian Ruan was stunned, Yu Jingmo had already opened his mouth and eaten the light pink and milky white strawberry, his eyes were deep and smiling. Tian Ruan's cheeks turned red instantly, and she turned her head to protect the glass bowl to prevent him from eating.
Yu Jingmo didn't care at all and massaged Tian Ruan's shoulders.
Every day Tian Ruan either sits at his desk or at his desk. He hasn't exercised for a long time and his shoulders are stiff. Yu Jingmo's hands were big and his strength was just right. Tian Ruan moaned as he was rubbed, feeling extremely comfortable.
Yu Jingmo suddenly stopped kneading.
"Mr. Yu, why don't you massage me anymore? Give me another massage." Tian Ruan shook her shoulders and acted coquettishly.
Yu Jingmo said: "If you hum like that again, the dragon will wake up."
Tian Ruan was stunned and turned to look. The dragon really showed signs of waking up. It was only half risen, but its shape was already majestic enough. He didn't dare to hum, twisted his body and said, "Then you press it, I won't make any sound."
Yu Jingmo continued to massage his shoulders and neck.
Although Tian Ruan stopped humming, he would smile and say from time to time: "It's a little itchy, press harder. Yeah, it feels good."
Yu Jingmo stood behind the chair, unable to poke, "You seem to be feeling comfortable, how about me?"
"You solve it yourself, I still have homework to do." Tian Ruan blinked.
Yu Jingmo could tell at once that he was lying. He reached his fingers under his collar and plucked a small strawberry. "Just dip this in yogurt."
“…”
Yu Jingmo rubbed it and said, "You can hum it now."
Tian Ruan's tightly pursed lips suddenly loosened, and she uttered an unbearable, coquettish, and angry voice: "Mr. Yu, you broke the rules again."
A few days ago, they made three rules: when Tian Ruan was studying, Yu Jingmo could not make excessive demands, could not do excessive things, and could not have sex with her.
Yu Jingmo behaved well in the past few days and tried not to disturb Tian Ruan when he was concentrating on preparing for the college entrance examination.
As a result, his true colors were revealed today. Yu Jingmo, a righteous young man, couldn't bear not to do it for three or four days in a row.
"I broke the rules, so what?" Yu Jingmo leisurely played with the young man's fragility and sensitivity.
"One hundred thousand at a time." Tian Ruan said angrily.
"Come ten times." Yu Jingmo said domineeringly.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Ten times would cost Tian Ruan his life, but Tian Ruan agreed that three times at most would be the maximum. Yu Jingmo agreed to his request, but these three times were particularly long, almost as long as the usual five times.
The young man was forced to blush all over, tremble constantly, and sweat profusely.
In the end, I almost fainted.
Yu Jingmo carried the person away, cleaned him carefully, gave him a bath, then wrapped him in a warm bathrobe, carried him back to bed and held him in his arms until he fell asleep.
Before we knew it, it was May and there was only a little over a month left until the college entrance examination.
Tian Ruan accidentally received news from Hai Chao and Nan Huai Ju.
After school that day, the group was filled with messages discussing who went abroad, which country they went to, and some gossip in the business circle.
As they talked, they talked about Nan Mengyao, and when they talked about Nan Mengyao, they talked about his unreliable cousin Nan Huaiju.
When talking about Nan Huaiju, we have to talk about his fellow classmate Hai Chao.
There was a hint of regret in everyone's words. If Nan Mengyao and Hai Chao were still alive, Deyin's overall performance would definitely rank first among all major universities.
Tian Ruan wanted to say, you guys are overthinking it.
Given the fact that these noble children are not doing their jobs properly and are not studying hard, even if there were ten more Hai Dynasties, they would not be able to save everyone's overall performance.
During the past three years, Deyin has maintained its reputation by being ranked in the top 20 in each grade, so that when students from other schools mention Deyin, they will not think of it as just the name of an "aristocratic high school" without any actual achievements.
Tian Ruan: Yes, it’s a pity that they are not here.
A simple statement of agreement resulted in a video call from Nan Huaiju after school.
Tian Ruan read it carefully three times, and after confirming that it was not a scam, he answered, "Nan Huai Ju?"
It is still dark in the country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The background of the Nanhuai Orange is an indigo sky. In the distance, there are faint lights of houses and shadows of trees.
"Are you done with school?" Nan Huaiju said without any awkwardness, "That's great. I'm so bored here."
Tian Ruan: "Oh, so you contacted me because you were bored."
"…If you don't want to listen, hang up."
"No, we are international friends now." Tian Ruan said, "Let's communicate in English."
Nan Huaiju: "...I will use English the whole time here. If I don't switch back to my mother tongue, I will almost forget everything I know."
As Tian Ruan walked, he pulled the camera to Lu Qiuyan and Yu Shang, "Come, meet your dear classmates."
Lu Qiuyan glanced at him and said, "Hello."
Yu Shang: "Hello."
Nan Huaiju: “…”
Tian Ruan: "Why are you being so formal? Nan Huaiju, are you coming back?"
Nan Huaiju said honestly: "I don't know, I'm still getting my enrollment certificate."
"Where's Hai Chao?"
"He's sleeping."
"Then why don't you sleep?"
"I went to bed early, otherwise I wouldn't have time to play with my phone now."
"Oh~My husband is very strict." Tian Ruan teased.
Nan Huaiju's face got a little hot, and he changed the subject: "How are you? How is everyone else?"
Tian Ruan: "It's all good. It's your blessing that you didn't take the college entrance examination - you don't want to fail the exam and then go abroad."
"……really."
"You and Hai Chao live together? Just the two of you?" Tian Ruan asked quietly.
Nan Huaiju responded vaguely, "Well, did his parents look for him?"
"I looked for it. But I couldn't find it."
"His other parents tried to contact me, but I didn't answer the phone. Is that bad?"
"?" Tian Ruan said quickly, "That's great. You must not answer the phone and don't have any contact with them. If you do something that Hai Chao doesn't like, he won't always forgive you."
Nan Huaiju nodded, "I understand. Thank you, uncle."
"It's nothing." Tian Ruan smiled lovingly, "Just enjoy your stay together~"
“…”
The other end hung up, but Tian Ruan couldn't stop smiling, "That's great."
Lu Qiuyan sneered: "They eloped, and you are happier than anyone else."
"That's right." Tian Ruan said, "After all, they are also my nephews and nieces-in-law. I am of course happy that they can be happy. If you and Yu Shang can be happy, I will be even happier and will distribute wedding candy tomorrow."
“…Get lost.”
Yu Shang didn't say anything.
Arriving at the school gate, Tian Ruan was about to get into the Maybach as usual when he suddenly saw Lu Qiuyan surrounded by a few scoundrelly middle-aged men wearing sunglasses, saying something and the classmates around him kept looking at him.
Tian Ruan was shocked and remembered the contents of the original book.
Before joining the army, Lu Qiuyan was harassed by loan sharks for debt and had a fight with them. He almost failed the physical examination and was only able to pass thanks to Yu Shang’s help in smoothing out the relationship.
There is much debate among readers as to whether this plot is a sugar rush or not, but Tian Ruan thinks that if this plot can be avoided, it would save Lu Qiuyan a lot of trouble.
Tian Ruan walked over with a serious look on his face.
Yu Jingmo reached out to take his wife to the car: "?"
