Chapter 29 Vacation (Two-in-One) Tian Ruan: What should I do now? /……
"Congratulations." Yu Shang said to Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: “…” Is it so easy to get second place? God, he felt like he hadn't used his full potential yet.
If this steals the limelight from the protagonist, there will be retribution, right?
Tian Ruan shuddered as he saw more and more people gathering in front of the notice board, with some girls even approaching him hesitantly to talk to him. Tian Ruan pushed through the crowd and walked quickly towards the classroom.
Wang Weiqi shouted repeatedly: "Tian Ruan, you are so awesome!"
Tian Ruan walked faster and started to jog.
There were not many classes on the last day of the short holiday. The head teacher came into the classroom and talked about some safety precautions during the short holiday and praised Tian Ruan. Then the students had free time and could join clubs or do other things.
As soon as the head teacher left the house, Wang Weiqi invited her: "Tian Ruan, come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Tian Ruan: "It's only eight o'clock in the morning."
"We'll go to KTV and sing for two hours, and then go to a Michelin restaurant for dinner."
"?"
"What's that expression on your face? Don't tell me you've never been to a KTV."
"I've been there once." Tian Ruan's farewell party after graduation was at a KTV, although he didn't sing any songs.
Wang Weiqi was surprised. "Just once? Your life is too boring."
Tian Ruan: "Yu Shang has never been there, you can ask him out."
Wang Weiqi timidly glanced at Yu Shang who was packing his books, "I don't dare."
Tian Ruan asked directly: "Yu Shang, do you want to go to KTV?"
Yu Shang said coldly: "No. I want to attend a lecture."
"What lecture?"
"Hundred Schools of Thought."
"I'm going to listen too. Which lecture hall is it in?"
"Come with me."
Tian Ruan packed his schoolbag and followed Yu Shang. Wang Weiqi was depressed and became a follower, but when he saw a long-haired girl from the next class, he suddenly became energetic and poked Tian Ruan: "Do you know who she is?"
"have no idea."
"Fourth place - no, fifth place now."
"?"
"Nan Mengyao. It is said that she was ranked first in the province and entered Deyin, but she failed to catch up with Yu Shang in her five years of junior high and high school."
"..."Tian Ruan almost forgot that among those who like the protagonist, there are also many excellent ones.
Nan Mengyao also came from a wealthy family. She was the eldest daughter in the family and her parents had high expectations for her. She had been a good girl since childhood until her second year of high school, when she became irritable because she could not catch up with Yu Shang.
Nan Mengyao regards Yu Shang as her biggest competitor. Later, Xi Qin and Xie Tangyan appeared. Now...
Nan Mengyao glared at Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Wang Weiqi covered his chest with his hands and said, "It's so beautiful. Even when she stares at me, she looks so beautiful."
Tian Ruan: "Are you interested in her eldest daughter?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Weiqi's cheeks flushed, "I'm still young, I can't fall in love too early."
"You make it sound like you can fall in love early if you want."
“…”
Wang Weiqi glared at Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan comforted her: "You two do have similarities, maybe you can get along well."
Wang Weiqi's mood immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful: "Really?"
"Go ahead, young man."
Wang Weiqi happily tried to strike up a conversation with Nan Mengyao, but Nan Mengyao turned her head away and ignored him, and even when she did, her response was sarcastic. Wang Weiqi is also a strange person. He can still try his best to please others even in such a situation.
Tian Ruan sincerely sighed that youth is so good.
Even if the two-hour lecture is not used in the exam, it can serve as a knowledge reserve and subtly influence your conversation. Improve your self-cultivation.
But most of the people who came to the lecture came to see Yu Shang.
How did Tian Ruan discover it? Of course, it was because everyone’s gaze was too glaring, and he was the closest to Yu Shang - in fact, some people were also looking at him, but he was blind and believed firmly in the protagonist’s law.
At lunch, Tian Ruan found Lu Qiuyan, who was eating fried rice, with a tray in hand and said to him indirectly: "There are quite a lot of people who like Yu Shang."
Lu Qiuyan didn't understand and just hummed.
"But Yu Shang is a loyal person."
"How do you know?" Lu Qiuyan didn't care.
Tian Ruan looked at the protagonist seriously, "I'm his little dad, of course I know."
Lu Qiuyan paused with his rice spoon, chewed the rice with his mouth closed, his cheeks moving.
Tian Ruan pretended to ask casually: "What are you going to do during the short holiday?"
"work to earn a living."
"Where?"
"I haven't found one yet." Lu Qiuyan ate his meal in big gulps and stopped talking.
By the time Lu Qiuyan finished eating, Tian Ruan had only touched half of his shrimp fried rice. Lu Qiuyan sneered: "Why do you eat like a kitten?"
Tian Ruan: "...I am chewing slowly."
"No wonder he's so thin."
"You are the one who suffers."
"?" Lu Qiuyan said, "I can knock you down with just one punch, believe it or not?"
Tian Ruan shrank his neck and said, "I believe it."
"I'm just kidding. I'm not really going to hit you." Lu Qiuyan threw the plate into the robot dining cart that came to collect the plates. "Have you seen Yu Shang?"
"He's in a student union meeting. You can go find him."
"Why would I look for him? I'm just going to play basketball and then go home."
"Wait for me, I want to play basketball too."
“Eat quickly.”
Tian Ruan opened his mouth wide and ate his meal, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel. Lu Qiuyan didn't rush him and waited patiently for him to finish eating.
Since we couldn’t exercise right after eating, Lu Qiuyan led Tian Ruan around the playground slowly and chatted with him, “You’re awesome. You got second place in the grade.”
Tian Ruan said: "If you want to be second in the grade, that's fine."
"Forget it. It's tiring and useless. Just get into the top 20 and be admitted." Lu Qiuyan said lightly.
The top 20 students from Deyin can get admission to most of the famous universities in the country, and Deyin’s students are scrambling to get admission. Moreover, the admission is free of tuition and there are also scholarships.
Most people have enough of these two virtues, but Lu Qiuyan needs them very much, so he must stay in the top 20.
"But you can do better." Tian Ruan felt sorry. Lu Qiuyan might not know this truth until a long time later.
"How much better is better? Being admired by girls and hostile to boys?" Lu Qiuyan sneered.
“…you can receive better educational resources and build up your network.”
Lu Qiuyan shook his head, "I don't need it. I don't want to go into business. I plan to join the army after the college entrance examination."
Tian Ruan was not surprised. In the original book, Lu Qiuyan did go to military school after the college entrance examination. It was not until he retired due to injury five years later that he met Yu Shang again and reunited.
Five years. How many five years are there in a lifetime?
Tian Ruan didn't feel it when he was reading, but now as the days go by, it seems as if the days are stretched out.
He said: "As long as you don't regret it."
Some roads can only be known how hard they are to obtain after you have walked them.
Lu Qiuyan smiled and stepped on a yellow maple leaf. "Who knows if I will regret it? I will just take it one step at a time. I am not as conventional as you, afraid of making mistakes."
Tian Ruan thought about it and retorted: "As long as you do what you like, it doesn't count as following the rules."
Lu Qiuyan was silent for a moment and then nodded, "You are right. Yu Shang may just like the smell of money. He is a born businessman."
"……"really.
Yu Shang lives up to the name given to him by Yu Jingmo. In the future he will definitely surpass Yu Jingmo and bring supreme glory to the Yu family.
At this time, the sky for the seventeen-year-old boys was pure blue and the sun was scorching. They put on white and blue sportswear and ran on the outdoor basketball court. The basketball slammed to the ground and flew across the white track.
The boys chased after it, snatched it, sweat dripping, limbs colliding with each other, and finally a tall boy succeeded, leaping outside the three-point line and throwing the basketball high into the air.
The cheers of the White Team resounded through the sky, and they surrounded Lu Qiuyan and clapped their hands, while the Blue Team shouted for more.
Tian Ruan played basketball for half a day. Although he was the shortest, he had the best jumping ability, which amazed the group of boys whose average height was 180cm.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good bounce despite your short stature."
"Small potatoes can also be explosive."
"Tian Ruan, right? The Tian family that runs the supermarket chain?"
Tian Ruan: “…No.”
"Where are you from?"
"My hometown is Lin'an."
"No wonder he's short."
“…”
"How can you talk like that?" Lu Qiuyan said, "Don't bully my new friend."
A dozen tall, sweaty teenagers laughed together: "Okay, since the little bully has spoken, how dare we disobey him?"
"Tian Ruan, Lu Qiuyan." Yu Shang's voice was as cold and deep as a clear spring, with strong penetrating power, instantly covering up all the noise.
Lu Qiuyan turned his head and asked, "What?"
Yu Shang: “Nothing.”
Then he just looked at them expressionlessly. Even if the student council president didn't say anything, just this face was enough to make people feel pressured.
“…”
Tian Ruan reacted suddenly and dug out his cell phone from the pile of clothes. Sure enough, it was time to go home from school, which meant that Yu Jingmo was waiting for him at the school gate.
He quickly packed himself up, picked up his schoolbag and ran: "I'm going home!"
"Let's play together next time, second place!"
Tian Ruan staggered away without even looking back. How could he deserve Yu Jingmo to wait for him?
When Tian Ruan got into the Rolls-Royce that was hidden among the luxury cars, he was still sweating. "I just played basketball and forgot the time."
When he turned around apologetically, he clearly saw Yu Jingmo moved a little to the side. Although his icy face remained expressionless, his long eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the word "disdain" was written in his dark eyes.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo took out an alcohol wet tissue and gave it to him, "Wipe it off."
Tian Ruan took it and wiped his face and neck. Maybe there was still some smell on his body, so he suddenly felt uneasy and explained, "I came out in a hurry, so I didn't take a shower."
"It's okay, go back and wash."
"...Do you dare to sit closer and say this?"
Yu Jingmo stood still as a mountain. The driver slowly stepped on the accelerator. The car was filled with cool fragrance and was as quiet as an ice cellar.
Finally, Yu Jingmo said, "I'm sorry."
In fact, Tian Ruan has discovered that Yu Jingmo is a bit of a germaphobe. The first thing he does when he gets home every day is to wash his hands. The car is always spotless, and the bedroom sets must be changed every day.
He also loves taking a bath. He takes a bath in the morning and evening, and also during his lunch break at the company - I heard from Assistant Xu.
Tian Ruan can only wash once every night...
After returning to the manor, Tian Ruan went upstairs to take a shower as soon as he entered the main house. He rubbed himself vigorously, washed himself with shower gel, and went downstairs wearing soft home clothes.
Yu Jingmo's expression was indeed much more relaxed, and he even "showed his kindness" by pinching Tian Ruan's cheek, "It's clean now."
Tian Ruan glared at him with puffy cheeks.
Yu Jingmo found it amusing and teased him for a while.
In the evening, Yu Shang came back a little late, and Yu Jingmo didn't ask much.
After dinner, the father and son chatted for a while.
"What are your plans for the short holiday?" Yu Jingmo asked.
As the heir to a wealthy family, Yu Shang was very self-conscious: "I want to intern at the hotel for two days."
"I want to go too." Tian Ruan raised his hand.
Yu Shang asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
"I can clean."
"You were not so enthusiastic when you were working in the student union. Wouldn't cleaning in the hotel affect your studies?"
“…I got second place.”
"So you should be rewarded." Yu Jingmo said, "I'm on a business trip, I'll take you abroad for a tour."
“It’s not Africa, is it?”
"First go to Africa, then to Europe, and finally fly back to Asia."
Tian Ruan declined: "No, Mr. Yu, you can go, you don't need to take me with you."
Yu Jingmo looked at him coldly.
Tian Ruan explained: "The time is too tight, and I don't like flying."
"Why?"
Because Tian Ruan's parents died in a plane crash when he was very young. Although Tian Ruan didn't have any feelings or impressions, he still didn't like it.
Seeing that Tian Ruan didn't answer, Yu Jingmo didn't force him, "Then when I come back, you can choose the reward you want."
Tian Ruan immediately said, "I want to experience staying in a five-star hotel. This is the reward I want."
Yu Jingmo laughed: "That's it?"
"Yeah." Tian Ruan was very satisfied with the reward.
"OK."
Arrangements were made as soon as they were made. The next afternoon, the housekeeper handed the room card to Tian Ruan and said tearfully, "Sir, you also stayed in a five-star hotel abroad, in the presidential suite. Madam, you are reminded of him when you see the card!"
Tian Ruan had a blank expression on his face: "You think too much."
"If you need anything, please call me. I will rush to get it to you, Madam."
"don't want."
Tian Ruan took Yu Jingmo to the airport by car. The vast terminal hall was bustling with people, and a sweet female voice was announcing flights. Assistant Xu was pushing three oversized suitcases on a luggage cart, two of which belonged to Yu Jingmo and were filled with clothes.
Assistant Xu pushed the luggage to check in.
Tian Ruan thought that if this suitcase was robbed, Yu Jingmo would be miserable abroad because the suitcase was filled with his favorite clothes.
"Just wait patiently and don't run around." Yu Jingmo said to Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan took off the sandalwood beads on his right wrist and handed them to Yu Jingmo, "Wear them to keep you safe when you go abroad."
Yu Jingmo lowered his eyes but did not refuse. He raised his left hand and rolled up his coat sleeve, revealing a tightly buttoned shirt. On his strong, white wrist was a gold watch worth millions.
He had slender bones and took off his watch in a few seconds, allowing Tian Ruan to put the sandalwood beads on him.
Tian Ruan had worn this string of sandalwood jade pendants for many days, and they had acquired a slightly sweet scent. Yu Jingmo put the watch on the other hand and said, "I'll return it to you when I get back."
"It was originally yours."
"I gave it to you, so it's yours."
Tian Ruan opened his clear brown eyes and looked at Yu Jingmo, "Then, have a safe trip."
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo also looked at him.
“…”
The flight reminder broadcast sounded, and Yu Jingmo didn't say anything in the end. He walked towards the VIP security check point with his long legs. He would also take the VIP channel and arrive at the first class cabin later.
Tian Ruan suddenly became interested, "Mr. Yu!"
Yu Jingmo turned around.
"Can I fly first class with you next time?"
Yu Jingmo couldn't help laughing: "Okay."
Tian Ruan waved his hand comfortably.
That night, Tian Ruan drove the golden Ferrari all the way to the five-star hotel in Suzhou City where Yu Shang was going to do his internship, the Macchiato International Garden Hotel.
Just listen to this name, it's so dreamy and makes people instantly think of the princess's castle.
In fact, Macchiato International Garden Hotel is just like a castle. The only pity is that the banquet halls are very small, which is only suitable for hosting company annual meetings, and will be a bit cramped for large weddings.
The gate of this hotel was checked by a Feng Shui master. Like the Yu family manor, it faces southwest, but small doors are set up in other directions to facilitate entry and exit.
The hotel lobby can only accommodate seven or eight cars, each of which is a special car for important figures and has even received national leaders.
As a property of the Yu family, Tian Ruan’s car can naturally occupy a parking space. He didn't need to take anything, the butler had already sent someone to deliver it, and he would be there as soon as he arrived.
Therefore, Tian Ruan only brought his schoolbag and tablet computer.
As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by the lobby manager in person and the hotel housekeeper led him to the room.
The presidential suite is on the top floor and not only has a unique view, but also has a jacuzzi, a private cinema, free breakfast and drinks, as well as customized itineraries, spa and golf, etc. - Tian Ruan did not customize it, he wanted to arrange it himself.
After lifting the bed flag, Tian Ruan lay on the soft two-meter-wide bed, which was more than enough for him to roll around twice.
He pulled out his phone and started typing.
Tian Ruan: Mr. Yu, I’m at the hotel now. Send me a message when you arrive.
The teacher assigned homework in the class group. Because it was a short holiday, there was a lot of homework. Tian Ruan took out his homework book and worked on it for about an hour and a half when the doorbell rang.
The electronic screen at the door automatically displayed the surveillance camera footage outside the door, which showed the hotel butler and a chubby food delivery robot.
Tian Ruan took the remote control and opened the door. The hotel housekeeper came in and said respectfully, "Mr. Tian, it's dinner time. Would you like to dine in the panoramic restaurant or the private restaurant?"
"Just inside the house."
The food delivery robot slid into the door, found the restaurant, and its two robotic arms brought out the food in its "belly".
Tian Ruan looked at the robot in amazement, "Has technology developed to this point now?"
The hotel housekeeper smiled and said, "Nowadays, big hotels all use robots. They are very convenient, keep the temperature, and save manpower."
Tian Ruan went to try the food in the five-star hotel with great interest, but the food turned out to be not much different from what Liu Ma cooked.
After dinner, Tian Ruan finally received news from Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo: I just got off the plane and the signal is bad.
Tian Ruan: Be safe.
Yu Jingmo: Okay.
Tian Ruan suddenly felt a little worried, because that was Africa.
It wasn't until my friend Assistant Xu posted a photo of the magnificent hotel with a fountain at the entrance.
Tian Ruan Comment: Is it really in Africa?
Assistant Xu replied to Tian Ruan:? Absolutely true.
Yu Jingmo replied to Tian Ruan: Video chat with me.
Tian Ruan: “…”
In the video, Yu Jingmo’s background is a wall with old and luxurious decoration, with a nude oil painting of a man and a woman embracing each other hanging on it.
Tian Ruan's eyes moved closer to the phone screen.
Yu Jingmo moved the camera to the painting without hesitation, "Does it look good?"
Tian Ruan: “…It doesn’t look good.”
The signal from Yu Jingmo's side was indeed bad, and the camera was stuck. Tian Ruan thought it was a problem with his phone, so he kept changing the angle of the phone.
Yu Jingmo: "What?"
Tian Ruan said: "You are stuck there."
The stuck picture was still the photo of Yu Jingmo and the nude oil painting... Tian Ruan took a screenshot and saved it secretly.
Yu Jingmo was also stuck. What stuck was that Tian Ruan opened his eyes wide, like a squirrel, and couldn't help but smile: "Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. How about you?"
"I ate a little on the plane."
The two chatted for a while, but couldn't stand the lagging network anymore, so Yu Jingmo said "good night" and hung up.
Tian Ruan went to wash up and go to bed.
Next to the jacuzzi is a single-sided floor-to-ceiling glass, a movie screen, and all the necessary bathing tools.
Tian Ruan used the massage mode and took a bath with a laugh. When he was about to fall asleep, he forced himself to wrap himself in a bath towel, then threw himself on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. After an unknown amount of time, I heard my phone vibrate in the chaos. I was afraid that it was a message from Yu Jingmo, so I opened the phone and took a quick look.
It was a message in the class group. The class monitor asked students who had finished writing their essays to take a photo and hand it in to participate in the city's essay selection.
The vibration continued for more than ten times. Tian Ruan wondered in a daze whether he had taken any photos. It seemed that he had... added the picture to the album and sent it.
Then he muted his phone.
He woke up early in the morning and his cell phone vibrated three times in a row. As soon as he turned on the mute button, countless messages began to ring in his spacious and luxurious bedroom for a full two minutes.
Tian Ruan: “?”
I checked the source of the message without knowing why, and it turned out to be someone in the class group.
@Tian Ruan, damn, is this Yu Jingmo?
@Tian Ruan, do you know Yu Jingmo?
@田阮, are you serious about the nude oil painting in the background?
@Tian Ruan, you actually had a video call with Yu Jingmo? Is it true or fake?
…
Tian Ruan looked around and his sleepiness instantly disappeared. What was going on?
Returning to the WeChat homepage, in addition to the class group, there are several unread messages in the chat bar.
Yu Shang: Tian Ruan!
Yu Shang: I have used my authority to delete the photos for you.
Yu Shang: You’re done.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Assistant Xu: Madam!
Assistant Xu: Don’t worry, Mr. Yu is not angry.
Assistant Xu: He seems angry because you didn’t reply to his message.
Tian Ruan: “…”
With trembling fingers, he clicked on "Yu Jingmo".
Yu Jingmo:?
Yu Jingmo: It’s okay.
Yu Jingmo: Something happened.
Tian Ruan: “…………”
That’s it, Barbie Q.
Tian Ruan's eyes darkened as he thought carefully. He had never written any essays or taken any photos. He just posted a screenshot of a video with Yu Jingmo.
When I opened the class group again, it was still lively.
Although Tian Ruan did not intend to hide his relationship with Yu Jingmo, he still wanted to be an ordinary high school student...
Homeroom teacher: @All members, stop making irresponsible comments about Tian Ruan and respect other people’s privacy.
Tian Ruan had no choice but to explain.
He thought hard and finally sent out a message: Hello everyone, Mr. Yu and I know each other, just as you all know Mr. Yu.
Classmate A: I know Yu Jingmo, but Yu Jingmo doesn’t know me.
Classmate B: I said Tian Ruan was a hidden talent. He comes from a wealthy family and is even friends with Yu Jingmo.
Classmate C: That’s the president’s father!
Classmate Ding: Isn’t Yu Jingmo married? The object is called Tian Yuan.
Onlookers:? ? ? Tian Ruan’s brother?
Classmate N: Am I the only one who cares why there is a nude painting behind Yu Jingmo?
Tian Ruan: “…”
So everyone concluded that Tian Yuan and Tian Ruan were brothers, and this explained everything - it was impossible for Tian Yuan to change his name to Tian Ruan to come to school, right? Tian Ruan looked to be the same age as them and didn't look like he was twenty years old at all.
Tian Ruan was unable to explain, and he just became his brother.
But what is more important now is how he should explain it to Yu Jingmo.
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Ruan opened Yu Jingmo's chat box again with a sad face.
Tian Ruan typed a long string and then deleted it.
After repeating this several times, the message from the other side came first.
Yu Jingmo: Awake?
Tian Ruan: Yeah.
Tian Ruan: I’m sorry Mr. Yu, I didn’t mean it/crying
Yu Jingmo: Yeah.
Tian Ruan: What should we do now? /Pitiful
Yu Jingmo: Neither deny nor admit.
Tian Ruan: But everyone is talking about the nude painting behind you...
After a long while, Yu Jingmo spoke sparingly and said: I will talk to you when I get back.
Tian Ruan: “…”
Doesn’t this really mean “I’ll deal with you when I get back”?
