Tong Yan took the regular class exam at school.
Director Huang crossed his arms and looked at the test paper he had finished. When Tong Yan was taking a break, he asked, "Have you looked at the test papers of the regular classes these days?"
"No."
"Although not, your score still cannot be included in the total score. You can only use this test to test your true level."
Tong Yan also knew that he took the exam privately with Director Huang as the invigilator, which seemed formal, but it was still not acceptable.
Because the test paper had been out for a long time, the students in the ordinary class were comparing answers, so it would be hard to explain that Tong Yan had never seen it.
Therefore, it was enough for Tong Yan to test his level this time, and he was not planning to go directly to the regular class.
Just like he promised Xu Xinduo, only if his grades were good enough to take the college entrance examination would Xu Xinduo feel at ease to let him transfer to another class.
Before that, Xu Xinduo would not feel at ease.
Normally the exam would take two days, but Tong Yan took the exam alone and answered questions quickly, so he finished the entire exam in one day. It was already past six in the evening when they were about to leave school. Director Huang was eating some fruit and handed Tong Yan some cherries.
Tong Yan asked casually: "When is the due date?"
"Three months left."
"Well, maternity leave is coming soon, right?"
Director Huang smiled and replied, "Actually, there is not much work for me right now. Being an invigilator for you is a rare job I have recently."
"Shall I take you back?"
"No, my husband is also in school."
Director Huang’s husband is the principal. Although there is a little age difference between them, they are very well matched.
After Tong Yan returned to the community, he originally wanted to ask the driver to drive directly to Yin Huan's villa. After thinking about it, he decided to go back to his villa first. After picking up COCO, they went to Yin Huan's villa together.
Before Xu Xinduo came, he would only meet Yin Huan once in a while. Now he is running around very frequently, and his purpose is very obvious.
But when they arrived, Xu Xinduo hadn't come back yet.
He sat in the living room waiting for a while, then walked the dog outside in the yard.
While walking the dog, I sent a message to Xu Xinduo, and the reply I got was: You go back first, my get out of class doesn’t end until 9:30, and I can be home after 10 o’clock.
Tong Yan felt heartbroken for a moment when he looked at his phone.
Obviously, I don’t need to be so tired...
But in the end, Tong Yan only sent one message to Xu Xinduo: OK, I got it, message me when you get home.
Afterwards, Tong Yan thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well just walk the dog back to his villa.
Xu Xinduo didn't get home until after ten o'clock. After getting home, he sorted out his things and went to the kitchen to make cookies.
Yin Huan walked downstairs yawning, still drinking hot water in her hand. She sat at the table and watched Xu Xinduo busying herself. She asked, "Is it possible to make something so late?"
Yin Huan always speaks slowly and calmly, with a gentle tone and a lazy look, like a luxurious cat.
"Well, I promised a friend to make cookies for him as a thank you. It's Shao Qinghe, the man you know."
"Have you signed a contract with Star Entertainment?"
"Um."
Yin Hua held up her chin and said, "Well, Xingyu is pretty good. There aren't many top-notch things going on there. But their company isn't well-known for its models. I didn't know they were training models until you were about to sign the contract."
“It’s good to have an income.”
"Let me take a look at the contract for you."
Xu Xinduo wiped her hands to the side and showed Yin Huan the contract she brought back.
After taking a look, Yin Huan felt that there was no problem, and just carefully studied Xu Xinduo's schedule: "You have to go there for training every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights, and there will be filming on Saturdays and Sundays. It will be very hard for you. In this case, I can only communicate with the staff and give you care every Tuesday and Thursday night."
"Well, it's okay. It doesn't matter if it's a bit hard. How can you get income without any effort?"
Yin Huan sighed and said, "When I was your age, I was still a rich lady. But after I went to college, my family suddenly went bankrupt. I relied on my previous connections and my face to get into the entertainment industry like a rookie. At that time, I was really bullied by dogs. Many people who used to curry favor with me turned around and became a different person. That's when I realized how fickle the world is."
"Is it hard?" Xu Xinduo asked after putting the prepared food into the refrigerator.
"Well, I guess so. Even though I was in such a state of destitution, I still had some dignity. I couldn't let go of my pride. I was working part-time and studying at the same time. I delayed my graduation for several years and was exposed for scandals. Those years were really tiring. When I started as a minor role, it was the main character's rest time. I went to shoot. If the main character felt too hot and didn't want to shoot, I would take over. The crew contract stated that we would finish work at 10pm every day, but we often shot until 2 or 3 in the morning."
Xu Xinduo suddenly fell silent, as if if she wanted to constantly strive for self-improvement since childhood, she had to work harder than others.
Xu Xinduo and Tong Yan had both heard about some things.
Rumor has it that Yin Huan married into the Tong family because of her looks and was attracted by the Tong family's money. Tong Yukai didn't love Yin Huan either, he just thought Yin Huan was pretty and he wasn't that nice to her.
Because at that time they had forgotten that the Yin family was once a wealthy family, but it was forgotten after a few years.
So the rumors were wrong about Yin Huan?
Xu Xinduo couldn't ask, but just said that she would stick to it.
Yin Huan spoke again: "Tong Yan came to my place last night. He must have come to look for you."
"Yeah, I heard about it. He sent me a message."
"Did he tell you that he wanted to give up studying abroad?"
"He told me that, too."
"That silly boy should care about you a lot." Yin Huan started laughing after she finished speaking. Her smile was ambiguous, making Xu Xinduo feel a little embarrassed.
She was going to sit over here, but ended up standing next to the refrigerator like she was being punished. She was at a loss for a moment before she said, "We just have a special relationship. I don't think we have any other thoughts. Don't worry."
Yin Huan seemed very surprised: "Why should I feel relieved?"
Xu Xinduo looked up at Yin Huan and opened her lips without saying anything.
Yin Huan turned around and faced Xu Xinduo, with her arms resting on the table, and said frankly: "He is my son, I can see who he is good to and what his attitude is towards others. I don't know how far your relationship has developed, and I won't interfere. I even think that this brat will not open up without experiencing some setbacks. I just want to tell you one thing, I like you very much."
Xu Xinduo was stunned for a moment.
Yin Huan smiled gently at Xu Xinduo: "Some of the rumors outside are true. If a girl I don't like is dating my son, I will definitely break them up. But I like you. As long as I like you, it doesn't matter what your family background is or how much you earn. As long as you are willing, I will let you be my daughter-in-law even if you kidnap Tong Yukai, that bastard."
Xu Xinduo quickly explained: "No, no! We don't have it! It's impossible!"
"how?"
"He doesn't like me, so I gave up..."
"..." Yin Huan looked at Xu Xinduo for a while, then suddenly laughed, seeming to find it quite interesting. She had just read Xu Xinduo's contract, which prohibited them from dating within a year, which proved that they were not together. How could she forget about it the moment she turned around?
I really don't know how Tong Yan felt after hearing Xu Xinduo say that she gave up. Anyway, Yin Huan felt a little gloating.
Yin Huan smiled and stood up and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't have a relationship. When you grow up and want to fall in love, I will introduce you to a boyfriend. I guarantee he will be excellent. If you don't have a relationship... just treat yourselves as siblings. How about that?"
"Yeah, okay."
Yin Huan walked over and rubbed Xu Xinduo's head: "I will treat you as my own daughter. After all, I watched you grow up, and I have feelings for you. I like you very much. You are strong and I support you, but don't be too tired, be careful, and go to bed early after making the cookies."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
"When it's just the two of us, call me mom."
She looked at Yin Huan, her eyes brightened instantly, and she answered without hesitation: "Yes, Mom."
It was just two simple words, but Xu Xinduo's voice was trembling when she called out.
Her family affection has been weak over the years, and she even felt that she had become a cold-hearted person. However, at this moment her heart was warm, as if she suddenly had a mother.
It was no longer the love that stole Tong Yan's heart, but Yin Huan's real feelings for her.
Yin Huan is willing to be Xu Xinduo's mother.
Yin Huan went back upstairs. For Yin Huan, this was the time to go to sleep, as it would have the best beauty effects.
Yin Huan pays special attention to this aspect.
Xu Xinduo then remembered to send a message to Tong Yan, telling him that she was home and making cookies.
Tong Yan quickly replied: What's the point of making cookies?
Xu Xinduo: It’s for Shao Qinghe. He helped me find a job. I made cookies to thank him.
Tong Yan: Did you go with him today?
Xu Xinduo: Yes.
Tong Yan quickly sent a video request. After Xu Xinduo clicked the screen to connect, he saw the whole screen full of COCO.
Xu Xinduo immediately greeted COCO and heard COCO bark a few times.
Tong Yan pushed COCO away and asked Xu Xinduo: "You and Shao Qinghe were together for a whole day?"
Xu Xinduo took out a tissue box from the table and let the phone stand on it, and replied: "No, I was alone during the training."
"What are you training for?"
Xu Xinduo took out the food that had been refrigerated long enough and put it on the table. She kept moving while chatting: "Practicing catwalk and posing for photos. It seems that I have to take the initiative to pose when taking photos. This can save some time and make the photographer more relaxed. The posing is like a set of radio gymnastics, one after another, without interruption."
"Oh...are you chatting with Shao Qinghe again?"
Xu Xinduo found this question very strange. She seldom chatted with Shao Qinghe, so she answered: "No."
"Before making cookies for him, shouldn't you ask him what flavor he likes?"
"It's good enough to give it to him. Why do you care about those things? He can eat it if he wants."
Tong Yan was sulking at home.
After he knew that Xu Xinduo and Shao Qinghe went to the company together, he began to imagine that Shao Qinghe had been pestering Xu Xinduo, and the two came back together and chatted on WeChat after they came back.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Tong Yan simply sent a video over so that he could see at a glance whether Xu Xinduo had messaged other boys.
After confirming that Xu Xinduo had not contacted Shao Qinghe, Tong Yan was at a loss for words. He really had nothing to do, so he said, "I can't sleep."
There's no need to talk.
"Then?" Xu Xinduo looked at the video screen on the phone in confusion, to see Tong Yan's expression.
What's the point of telling her that I can't sleep?
Tong Yan said in a scoundrelly manner: "You coaxed me to sleep."
“…”
Anyway, he had said it all, so Tong Yan was shameless and continued to act shamelessly: "You have to chat with me until I fall asleep."
"Okay, wait for me." After Xu Xinduo finished speaking, he put down the things in his hands and went upstairs. After a while, he took out a tablet computer, put it on the table, searched for a story collection, and began to read a bedtime story to Tong Yan.
Xu Xinduo set up the tablet computer and said to the phone screen in a vivid voice: "Now, Auntie Duo, can you tell Tong Yan about "The Little Fox's Wish Lantern"?"
Tong Yan was helpless: "Not good."
This perfunctory attitude couldn't be more obvious.
Xu Xinduo was not polite: "I'll beat you to death if you refuse."
Tong Yan hesitated for a while and said, "Okay..."
"The little fox has been feeling empty lately. It seems to have forgotten something..." Xu Xinduo really started reading the story to Tong Yan according to the content of the bedtime story.
Tong Yan felt a headache from listening to the video.
After a while, Tong Yan said to Xu Xinduo: "Okay, I'm sleepy."
Xu Xinduo smiled and moved closer to the phone screen, saying goodbye to Tong Yan: "Good night, little friend Tong Yan. Bye."
"Well, good night." After Tong Yan finished speaking, he continued to look at Xu Xinduo on the screen.
Xu Xinduo looked at it for a while and said, "Hang up, I have something in my hand."
"You hang up first."
“I still have to make something.”
"Then I'll watch you do it."
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"I'll stay with you until you're done and we can sleep together."
Xu Xinduo found this sentence very strange, but didn't know how to protest.
Tong Yan on the other side of the video was moving, and then he sat down in front of the piano in his house, put his phone aside, and asked, "What do you want to hear? I'll play it for you."
"Little star."
"Okay, I'll play whatever you listen to."
Xu Xinduo continued to make cookies in the kitchen. The sound of piano came from her cell phone. It's true that making cookies this way was quite artistic.
After playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Tong Yan stretched his fingers and changed to "To Alice".
When this piece of music is played, people will feel that it is the waiting music for calling human service, but anyone who plays the piano knows the meaning behind it.
This is a piece of music Beethoven wrote for a girl he likes.
Dedicated to the girl I like.
Tong Yan played the piano quite shyly, and didn't dare to look at Xu Xinduo's expression in the video the whole time. The subtle and low-key hints pave the way for future confession.
He had no idea that the effect would be counterproductive.
After hearing this song, Xu Xinduo turned her head to look at the screen of her mobile phone. Suddenly, she became a little angry and started to smash and hit things while continuing to make cookies.
The reason for being angry was not anything else, but because Tong Yan always flirted with me.
Scumbag!
After Tong Yan finished playing, he finally plucked up the courage to look at Xu Xinduo, and saw that Xu Xinduo was still making cookies, which made him feel a little discouraged.
I can’t flirt with her, I really can’t flirt with her. I guess Xu Xinduo is a straight-forward woman.
But on second thought, he felt relieved that a boy like Shao Qinghe who liked to beat around the bush would definitely not be able to handle Xu Xinduo.
Never mind, don't worry, take your time...
Half a year, at least I could catch up with her within half a year.
