Chapter 218 Return (two in one) The facial shape and Jiji have not changed at all. …
The examination room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The only accompaniment was the chirping of cicadas outside the window, as well as the faint sounds of flipping papers and pen tips rubbing against paper.
After quickly calculating twice on the draft paper, Tian Ruan filled in the answer.
After the three-day exam, everyone's mind went blank for a moment. After more than ten years of hard study, all the results were reflected in those papers.
Some people burst into tears on the spot, some sighed, and some left the examination room with worry.
Tian Ruan is a very calm person. He observed that those who are as calm as him are either poor students who gave up long ago, or top students who are confident of their studies.
The parents waiting outside the examination hall to pick up their children had expressions of pride, happiness, or anxiety on their faces. Everyone has something in their hands, including water, food, clothes, umbrellas, and name tags.
Tian Ruan raised his head and looked around, and saw Yu Jingmo, who had the most outstanding appearance and temperament in the crowd. He felt a little embarrassed when he thought that the parent was his husband.
Wherever Yu Jingmo goes, he has an invisible aura that blocks others. With him as the coordinate, there is no one within a three-meter diameter. Therefore, Tian Ruan easily stepped into his territory and received the arms full of flowers.
"Congratulations." Yu Jingmo said with a smile.
Tian Ruan hugged Yu Jingmo generously, "Thank you."
Yu Jingmo took his hand and got into the car, driving the prospective college student home. "How do you feel?"
"good."
"It's OK, which means it's in good condition." Yu Jingmo interlocked his fingers with hers, his palms wet, "Do you have a favorite university?"
Tian Ruan felt a little hot, but he didn't let go of Yu Jingmo's hand, "I plan to choose Su City University as my first choice."
"Not going to Peking University or Tsinghua University?"
"Suzhou is pretty good," Tian Ruan said. "I'll study there for two years, then study abroad for two years. The resources in Suzhou are readily available, so it's more convenient."
Yu Jingmo chuckled: "Don't worry about the trouble, I will arrange it for you."
Tian Ruan thought for a moment and said, "I still want to rely on my own abilities to see how far I can go. Mr. Yu, if you can occasionally help me, I will be very grateful."
"You're indeed a college student now. Even your accent has changed." Yu Jingmo sighed with a smile.
Tian Ruan pinched Yu Jingmo's palm and said, "I am becoming more and more sensible. Mr. Yu, you should also have a sense of crisis."
"What?" Yu Jingmo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think you will meet someone better than me?"
Tian Ruan approached Yu Jingmo holding the flowers and deliberately asked, "Could it be that Mr. Yu thinks that you are the best person in the world?"
"I may not be the best person." Yu Jingmo turned his head and kissed the young man's smooth and full forehead, "But I can be the worst person."
"How bad?"
"Every day..." Yu Jingmo leaned close to the young man's ear and said something dirty that only the two of them could hear.
Tian Ruan's ears felt slightly hot. She glared at him and stopped talking.
Yu Jingmo chuckled, pinched the young man's thin face, and said, "You don't need to be sensible. Just be yourself in front of me. I said I will cover for you."
Tian Ruan lay down in Yu Jingmo's arms, holding up the flower, and his face reflected Yu Jingmo's. He said, "I can't find anyone better than Mr. Yu."
Even if there is that person, Tian Ruan's favorite must still be the man in front of her.
Yu Jingmo scratched the tip of the young man's nose with his finger, "Hmm."
The future is not constant, but the faith in our hearts can last forever, and love can span tens of millions of years just to reach the other side of our dreams.
He has completed the college entrance examination and now his life has officially entered the next stage. What remains unchanged is that Yu Jingmo is present in every stage of his life.
…
At the end of the long summer vacation, Tian Ruan was admitted to Suzhou University as he wished to study translation, where he studied basic theoretical knowledge in linguistics and literature, learned the languages of various countries in depth, mastered various translation skills, and carried out basic training in written translation, oral interpretation, and simultaneous interpretation.
The courses covered by the major are fully scheduled in a week. Tian Ruan does not live on campus and commutes between the university and the manor every day. He has more freedom than others, but also more stressful.
The high school classmates group is still there, and everyone has reported their recent situation, except Lu Qiuyan.
Tian Ruan said in the group that he was studying at Suzhou University.
Classmate A: @Tian Ruan, with your grades, it will be no problem for you to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, so why are you still in Suzhou?
Tian Ruan: Suzhou is pretty good.
Classmate B: I also go to Suzhou University, but it’s a second-tier university. The advantage is that it’s close to home, so everything is convenient.
Student C: Shit, who is in England? Please save my food!
Classmate Ding: I’m in the UK too… Do you think my cooking skills can save you?
Classmate n: Has the president gone to England?
Yu Shang: In the United States.
Classmate M: President! What are you eating?
Yu Shang: I brought a nanny.
Student C: This world is so unfair. I am alone in the UK and my parents don’t care about me.
Classmate Ding: Brother, I’m here to see you, clean your butt and wait. Although I’m not a good cook, do you want some ready-made big sausage?
Student C: ...Get lost! !
Nanhuaiju: It is indeed a gay country. You will become gay once you go there.
Female classmate: Surprised to find Nanhuai oranges! How is Nan Mengyao?
Nan Huaiju: My cousin is doing well. She is studying at some university in the United States...Is it the same university as Yu Shang?
Everyone:! ! ! Isn’t this the result of destiny? President, please seize the opportunity!
Tian Ruan: ...
Nanhuaiju: @Tian Ruan, what do you mean?
Tian Ruan: Yu Shang already has someone he likes, so don’t worry.
Nan Huaiju: Who is it? Can you be as beautiful as my cousin? ?
Tian Ruan: Private chat.
Switch to private chat.
Tian Ruan: Stop talking nonsense. Don’t you know who Yu Shang likes?
Nan Huaiju: ...Who is it? Don’t say it’s you!
Tian Ruan: It’s Lu Qiuyan!
Nanhuai Orange:! ! ! really! !
Tian Ruan: How are things going between you and Hai Chao?
Nan Huaiju: I’m having a hard time going to school. It’s so annoying. That professor keeps talking... He’s simply a pervert!
Tian Ruan: Oh.
Nanhuaiju: Are you still there?
Tian Ruan: Bye, I’m going to eat.
Nanhuaiju: ...
The classmate group continued to be lively, and everyone excitedly discussed the pros and cons of universities in different countries. Most of them were complaints, such as how difficult a certain tutor was, what legends the school had, and what celebrities it had produced.
Wang Weiqi: Why doesn’t anyone mention me? Why doesn't anyone care about me? ! ! /Crying
Wang Weiqi: Forget it, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m going to Soochow University anyway! /sunglasses
Student A: How is that possible!
Wang Weiqi laughed and left. Except for Tian Ruan, no one knew that this guy spent several million to get into the track and field team of Soochow University through his relationship with sports students, and mainly played men's football.
Everyone knows how bad the men's national football team is.
Whenever Wang Weiqi is not training, he goes to play with Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan had no time to play with him, so Wang Weiqi could play by himself, teasing cats and dogs. He didn't look serious at all and didn't seem like he was here to study, but to find a good match.
Although Wang Weiqi is dark-skinned, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Fortunately, he found a lot of girlfriends.
After only dating this girlfriend for a week, Wang Weiqi was defrauded of a total of 112,400 yuan and 20 cents, and then they broke up tragically.
"Why? Am I not good to you?" Wang Weiqi questioned the girl.
Girl: "You don't like me at all, you like your brother!"
Wang Weiqi: “???”
Wang Weiqi, who was confused, didn't bother with his ex-girlfriend. He didn't like her that much anyway. He just pretended to be a loving person and continued to happily follow Tian Ruan like a lapdog.
"Brother, how about we go clubbing this weekend?" Wang Weiqi suggested.
Tian Ruan recalled the time when she was dancing in front of the drug lord and shook her head like a rattle, firmly refusing.
"Then let's go hiking, fishing, and camping!"
Wang Weiqi proposed one by one, but was rejected one by one. He was devastated: "Damn, college is not as fun as high school!"
Yes, Deyin is a private high school for the nobility, while Suzhou University is a public university. The curriculum is very different from that of the nobility university, and the only thing that matters is practicality.
As for those courses that cultivate sentiment, except for art students, rich people can take them as extracurricular activities.
Tian Ruan secretly signed up for piano lessons with a professor in the music department. The school turned a blind eye to this kind of private activity, so Tian Ruan would go to the piano classroom to practice every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon when he was free.
He didn't take any exams or anything, he just wanted to cultivate his noble and elegant temperament, and the piano was the best choice.
On Saturdays or weekends, when Yu Jingmo is free, he will also teach him piano at home.
"If you're bored, why not just fall in love?" Tian Ruan said.
Wang Weiqi thought it made sense, so he went looking for the goddess again - as for Nan Mengyao who went to the United States, he had long forgotten about her.
Less than a month later, Wang Weiqi fell in love again.
Tian Ruan was also puzzled. Why did so many people keep falling in love with Wang Weiqi? It didn’t happen so often even in high school.
Wang Weiqi proudly brought his new girlfriend to see Tian Ruan, "Brother, this is my girlfriend, Lei Si."
"Lace?"
The girl smiled sweetly: "Hello."
Tian Ruan also smiled politely: "Hello."
Puns and the like may be coincidences elsewhere, but they are definitely problematic in this world.
Sure enough, one day, Wang Weiqi broke up again.
Wang Weiqi cried and said, "I saw her getting close to a girl, and I didn't think it was like that. She usually doesn't let me kiss her or hug her, and I thought she was very reserved, but she kissed and hugged that girl. I said I had cheated a big idiot! When I have money, I will buy that girl an iPhone 18!"
Tian Ruan: “…My condolences.”
Wang Weiqi: "Wow wow wow... I'm screwed, tens of thousands of dollars are wasted, if I meet another lace girl, I'll take one, if there are two I'll take a pair, let them be miserable mandarin ducks!"
Tian Ruan didn't know how to persuade him. If this was the case in college, there would be even more scammers in society. With Wang Weiqi's IQ, he will definitely be deceived.
During his two years in college, Wang Weiqi had five relationships, each of which ended with various strange reasons.
The most common thing his ex-girlfriends said was: "Wang Weiqi, you don't look like a straight man at all, you like your brother."
Wang Weiqi didn’t take it seriously once or twice, but after so many times, he got furious: “I’m a straight man!!”
Then he continued to happily go to play with Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Not to mention Wang Weiqi's ex-girlfriend, even Tian Ruan thought that Wang Weiqi seemed to be a bit gay.
Of course, Tian Ruan didn't want Wang Weiqi to be gay just for him, so he encouraged Wang Weiqi: "There are many better women in the world, why bother to love only one. You will definitely meet someone better."
Wang Weiqi clenched his fist: "Yes, there are many good women, I will definitely meet my goddess."
Tian Ruan thought, it’s a good thing that Wang Weiqi is stupid, otherwise he would be in danger. He also doesn't want a good friend to suddenly become gay and have feelings for him.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Tian Ruan is ready to go study abroad on an exchange program.
Wang Weiqi cried like a dog: "Brother, I can't go with you this time. You have to eat and drink well and have fun by yourself..."
Tian Ruan patted his shoulder and said, "I will."
Wang Weiqi twisted his body like a pretzel and kept scratching his shoulders, "Damn, you're still so strong."
In the past two years, Tian Ruan received only a few replies from Lu Qiuyan, but he knew that Lu Qiuyan's military career was fulfilling and healthy, energetic and passionate. He spent most of his time training and watching revolutionary movies at night.
There are only short holidays during festivals.
But Lu Qiuyan did not come back. He chose to stay in the army and continue his hard training.
In the last letter, Lu Qiuyan said that he had transferred to the special forces and that his letters might become less and less frequent, but he was always thinking about him in his heart, so they didn’t feel they were too far apart.
Tian Ruan wrote back, saying: "I am going to study in France. Once there, it will be even harder for us to communicate. But I am thinking of you in my heart, so no matter how high the sky is, how wide the sea is, or how many mountains and rivers there are, we are not too far apart."
He also wrote about Yu Shang's recent situation.
"Yu Shang only came back during the Chinese New Year. He has grown taller, now about one meter tall, but not very thin. Don't worry, he eats and sleeps on time every day, more punctual than a robot. He takes good care of himself. You should also take good care of yourself, so that when you meet again, you won't fail to recognize each other."
It's all over the place. Tian Ruan wrote a lot of nonsense.
"… Aunt Liu hasn't forgotten you either. She always thought that one day when you come back, you can eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she made by herself. That was last year's sweet-scented osmanthus. She collected a lot of it. I stood under the tree and was bathed in a sweet-scented osmanthus rain. It was especially fragrant."
"I told Mr. Yu that I missed you. Don't be angry. The Yu family has some connections in the military, so they know some of your recent situation. I just want to know, but I didn't mean it. I just miss you. If you are angry, I will treat you to a KFC family bucket when you come back."
"I don't know if you have become darker. I sent you a box of sunscreen. I have used them myself. They are very useful. You can share them with your comrades."
"I wish you all the best. Don't cry if you miss home occasionally."
A thick stack of letter papers was stuffed into the envelope, making it bulge. Tian Ruan glued it together by hand and put three stamps on it.
The window was open, and newly-opened osmanthus flowers were swaying in the wind, a golden field. A few flowers fell on the envelope with the wind, giving it a fragrance that could travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers.
That is the breath of homesickness.
The letter and Tian Ruan's suitcase flew to different countries on the same day and landed on different plates of the earth, with a vast ocean in between.
…
When Mrs. Du learned that Tian Ruan was coming to France for exchange studies, she moved her family back to her hometown and planned to accompany him for two years.
With the company of her family, Tian Ruan didn't feel too lonely even if she could only see Yu Jingmo once a week.
He still lived a good life in a foreign country. The Du family was wealthy and they had someone to escort him to and from school. Wherever Tian Ruan goes, safety comes first.
The only time I had my cell phone snatched away was when I was visiting the Louvre, and the time I accidentally made eye contact with a man on the subway and was invited to bed - of course the man was beaten up by the bodyguards as a result - the rest of the time was relatively peaceful.
Yu Jingmo traveled back and forth between the two countries and occasionally flew to other countries. He was very busy, but he never missed any meeting with Tian Ruan.
Even if the flight is cancelled, even if there are storms and rain, Yu Jingmo will find a way to transfer and fly thousands of miles away.
Tian Ruan later heard how dangerous it was to fly in rainy and snowy weather. He was terrified: "Mr. Yu, next time you encounter a delayed flight, don't rush to come. Your safety is the most important thing."
Yu Jingmo said as a matter of course: "I have a golden finger, it won't be that easy for anything to go wrong."
Tian Ruan was very serious: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand but be prepared for one. Now that Yu Shang is gradually gaining power, you are not omnipotent."
Yu Jingmo pulled the young man over and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When Yu Shang gradually took over half of the Yu family's business, Yu Jingmo had some free time and began to accompany his son to study in France.
The person who became incompatible with him became Yu Shang, who called and said, "Dad, when are you coming back?"
Yu Jingmo was drinking afternoon tea with his wife in the garden, happy as a god. Hearing this, he was not surprised and said, "Next week."
"What day is next week?" Tian Ruan almost didn't recognize Yu Shang's voice. He was becoming more and more charming, and had completely lost the immaturity of his youth.
"Sunday."
"..." Yu Shang seemed to take a deep breath, "Dad, I'm very busy in China."
"I know, you are here." Yu Jingmo said, "Your little dad and I are fine here, you don't have to worry."
"I'm not worried about you."
"Okay. Then I'll hang up." After Yu Jingmo finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He always kept his word and always said what day of the week it was.
Tian Ruan said tactfully: "Mr. Yu, you have been here for a week."
Yu Jingmo looked out at the bleak yet interesting scenery of the garden, sipped his black tea elegantly, and said, "I gave myself a half-month vacation."
"Will it be too long?"
"Not long." Yu Jingmo knew what was going on. "Yu Shang can handle it. This is also a chance for him to gain experience."
Tian Ruan nodded, "I hope it won't overturn."
Yu Jingmo raised his hand and pinched the young man's face, "Yu Shang has grown up, why are you still like this?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
It can be said that this is Tian Ruan’s pain point.
He watched helplessly as some of the people around him became disabled, while others performed steadily, but he remained unchanged.
After three years, he only grew one centimeter taller, and his facial shape remained unchanged.
Tian Ruan hoped that Jiji would grow up, but this dream was shattered. Every time Yu Jingmo played with it, he would play with it for a long time, as if it were some interesting little toy.
"…It's all your fault." Tian Ruan took out his anger on Yu Jingmo, "It must be because you did it with me so early that I became stunted."
Yu Jingmo did not refute. He knew the young man was angry, so he let him vent. It wouldn't cost him a piece of meat anyway. "Sorry, if it happens again, I still can't help it."
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo cut the bagel, spread blueberry jam and cheese sauce on it, sprinkled it with icing sugar, decorated it with a small yellow flower, and brought it to the young man, "I'll apologize to you."
Tian Ruan turned his face away and said, "I don't want to eat it."
"This bread is worth 30 euros each, this cup of black tea is worth 100 euros, and this tea set is about 3,000 euros."
"...I'll eat it." Tian Ruan ate the bread and drank the black tea obediently. He would not waste food.
Life was ordinary and dull. After Yu Jingmo returned to China, Helans and Du Henbie actually moved in.
So Tian Ruan went through a period of chaos.
He Lans suddenly became the art consultant of Tian Ruan's university. Every day when he sat in the art classroom and painted, he was a beautiful scenery.
A swarm of admirers flocked to this oriental beauty, and even Tian Ruan was overwhelmed.
Tian Ruan didn't want to have anything to do with Helans, but he saw him every now and then. Helans would always take the initiative to sit next to him, chat with him, and swear at him.
Hollands: "That damn foreigner thinks he is so charming. If he wasn't a professor, I would have punched him twice."
Tian Ruan: "...Why are you here?"
Hollands: “It’s fun.”
Soon after, Tian Ruan understood Helans' intention. Although he was handsome in China, people would not approach him every day without being tactful. Chinese people are still relatively shy. But when they go abroad, especially in France, people will think you are interesting just by looking at each other, so Helans was immediately surrounded by a large number of people.
Whenever Du Henbie came to check on the ward, he would have a smile on his face, and when he returned he would beat Helans to death.
Tian Ruan also didn't understand their interests. One day when she went to Du Henbie to ask for help on a question, she heard a slapping sound coming from his room and ran away in fear.
He Lans was beaten so badly that he couldn't go to class, so he took a leave of absence and stayed at home. Tian Ruan happened to be free, so he started to argue with Tian Ruan.
After fighting Tian Ruan, Helans went on to fight crickets, cocks, and dogs, and painted their heroic postures.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Tian Ruan: "Mom, look at him!"
Mrs. Du smiled gently: "Xiao He is really energetic, just like you."
Tian Ruan thought to himself, in Helans's heart, I am no different from those chickens, ducks and crickets, which makes me so angry.
After Yu Jingmo came, Helans fought with Yu Jingmo again.
Yu Jingmo responded with a simple move: "You should go bullfighting."
Hollands: “?”
Then, in order to paint the heroic posture of the bull, Helans actually went to a bullfight, was hit and thrown away by the bull, broke a rib, and had to lie in bed for several days.
Those days were the most peaceful days for Tian Ruan'ergen. He felt that his soul was sublimated.
Before he knew it, his study abroad career was about to end, and Tian Ruan wrote Lu Qiuyan his last letter in a foreign country.
"The last time I wrote to you was also in autumn, when the sweet osmanthus was fragrant. We haven't been in touch for a long time, but I feel relieved to know that you are safe. I am going back to my country, and I am writing this letter on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. There are no sweet osmanthus flowers here, only ginkgo trees."
"I once made a wish that you would come back in five years. I have been at Suzhou University for two years and studying in France for two years. Suddenly I want to shorten my wish so that I can see you when I return."
"This is unlikely, it's okay, I just said it. I miss the red maples in Suzhou, the osmanthus in Suzhou, and the autumn when everything begins and ends."
"I plan to go back to study for a master's degree. I have been recommended, but I plan to take the exam myself. The road of life is so long, you have to try to see if you can walk it. Just like you have walked so many roads, none of which is right, and none of which is wrong, they are all scenery along the way. The kite string is in your hand, you choose to let the butterfly kite, eagle kite, or ordinary kite fly."
"You envy the lights of other people's homes, but I envy your freedom to fly high. Lu Qiuyan, there is also a light waiting for you here."
Tian Ruan put a ginkgo leaf on the letter and let it fly across the Atlantic Ocean to the other side of the earth.
