After finishing their tea, Ye Zhizhou suggested that Qin Xuan go to his house to check on the cream, and Qin Xuan agreed.
Since the birthday party, Qin Xuan hasn't been very close to Cream, as both of them are busy studying.
To his surprise, upon entering, he saw Yu Yanhong and Ye Huaibin drinking in the living room, with Yu Yanhong pouring out his troubles to Ye Huaibin.
Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan walked into the living room with great composure. When Yu Yanhong saw it was the two of them, he simply stopped talking and drank his wine in silence.
"Xiao Zhou, Qin Xuan, you two come over and apologize to your Uncle Yu. He's been angry all day."
Ye Huaibin was a little helpless. He had finally finished his work and was resting at home when Yu Yanhong suddenly showed up with two bottles of red wine and said he wanted to have a drinking contest with him.
On the surface, they were there to drink, but actually they came to vent their anger on him. They said they had come all the way to Ning City for the sake of these two children, only to be rejected in public. He had never encountered such a situation in all his years of teaching, and he felt wronged.
"Uncle Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to come to our school in person to inform us of this. Actually, I had already decided that I would study for my undergraduate degree in this city, and if I were to pursue a master's degree, I would probably choose K University."
Ye Zhizhou's apology was very sincere and not at all perfunctory.
Qin Xuan followed her words and said, "Xiao Zhou and I agree that we should study in this city for university and don't want to leave home so early."
Ye Huaibin glanced at Qin Xuan, who had been looking at Ye Zhizhou the whole time while speaking, and then echoed Ye Zhizhou's words, indicating that she was very satisfied with her daughter.
He knew Qin Xuan's family. Huo Qingyan was away from home most of the time, and Qin Xuan's father had suffered such an accident. Apart from Qin Xuan, the only other person in the house was the nanny, who only cooked and cleaned.
Therefore, Qin Xuan's claim that he didn't want to leave home was definitely a lie.
Qin Xuan said that to cooperate with Xiao Zhou. After Ye Huaibin gave a simple analysis, he couldn't help but speak up for the two children.
"Old Yu, you have so many good students at K University, it doesn't make a difference if they take two more. Let the kids go wherever they want, don't hold a grudge. At worst, I'll add another scholarship to your school, how about that?"
Yu Yanhong sipped his treasured red wine and sighed repeatedly, "That's all we can do. Alas, what a pity."
Seeing that Yu Yanhong was in a better mood, Ye Huaibin gave Ye Zhizhou a wink, and Ye Zhizhou immediately understood.
"Uncle Yu, let's go upstairs now."
Yu Yanhong didn't speak. He had drunk a whole bottle of red wine and was already a little drunk, so he didn't bother to reply.
Ye Zhizhou naturally took Qin Xuan's hand and led her upstairs. Qin Xuan paused, turned her head, and seeing that Qin Xuan had stopped, asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Xuan's lips curled up, and he quickly took a step forward. "It's nothing."
Cream has her own room. Ye Zhizhou ordered cat trees, cat toys, and other essential cat supplies online. The room isn't big, but she decorated it very warmly.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Cream jumped down from the tall cat tree, tilted her head back, and meowed to welcome them.
Ye Zhizhou reached out and hugged Cream in his arms. Cream stayed obediently in Ye Zhizhou's arms, occasionally making a soft whimper.
Do you want to hug it?
Ye Zhizhou looked at Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan was somewhat embarrassed. He didn't want Ye Zhizhou to know that he didn't actually like small animals very much.
"It's very well-behaved and won't bite. Want to try it?" Ye Zhizhou moved the cat closer when he saw that he didn't speak.
Cream opened its bright eyes and looked intently at Qin Xuan, letting out a soft, meowing sound.
Qin Xuan unconsciously took the cream from Ye Zhizhou's hands and hugged it, imitating how Ye Zhizhou had hugged the cat earlier.
Cream didn't struggle. It rubbed its nose against Qin Xuan's chin. The wet feeling made Qin Xuan a little uncomfortable, but it wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
Ye Zhizhou sat on a small chair, watching this peaceful and beautiful scene, reluctant to disturb them.
but……
Less than two minutes later, Ye Qian called.
"Xiao Zhou, why did you reject K University? It's such a good school, and Uncle Yu is very capable; he can teach you a lot!"
Ye Qian was very excited on the phone.
Ye Zhizhou patiently explained to him, "I want to stay in Ning City to spend time with my family, brother. If you go to K University, you'll have to live on campus."
Ye Qian remained silent for a while. His sister had only been back for a short time, but the siblings got along very well. Even when they had disagreements, they never held grudges.
This made him feel like his sister had been at home for almost half a year.
“You’re right, it’s good to spend more time with Dad at home. It’s just that Feng Xiangchen keeps asking me if you want to go to Ningda. He’s dreaming. If he hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that you had already been admitted to K University.”
Ye Qian felt annoyed when he recalled Feng Xiangchen's smug look when he asked him the question. His nephew was incompetent, yet he tried to poach Ye Qian's sister. How shameful!
"But... Ningda is the best university in Ning City, so I will definitely go to Ningda."
Ye Zhizhou wasn't intentionally adding insult to injury; it was simply the truth.
Ye Qian opened the WeChat chat window and saw Feng Xiangchen's message to him: I bet your sister will definitely come to our school. A collector's edition stamp, wanna bet?
What kind of bet is that?!
"Xiao Zhou, how about I apologize to Uncle Yu for you, and we'll still go to K University?"
Ye Qian is humble online.
Ye Zhizhou was very firm, "Brother, Qin Xuan and I have already decided not to go to K University, and we will not change our minds."
Ye Qian deeply regretted hiring Qin Xuan as his tutor; he truly regretted it.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhizhou noticed that Qin Xuan had put the cream down.
“It’s my brother calling, ignore him, you can continue.”
Qin Xuan smiled faintly, "You've decided to go to Ningda University?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded, "Yes, Ningda is close to home, so I can come back to see my grandma every day."
She remembered that not long after the original owner died, Ye Xiufang passed away because she was too lonely. Later, the male and female protagonists who were together returned to the campus and learned about this, so they went to pay their respects to the original owner and Ye Xiufang.
This plot really left her speechless. It's one thing for them to be together, but they also have to show off their affection in front of someone's grave. Do they think they're not important enough?
So she wanted to spend as much time as possible with Ye Xiufang, which could be considered as making up for the original owner's regrets.
"I'll stay with you." Qin Xuan's smile was very comforting to Ye Zhizhou.
She recalled the first time she met Qin Xuan. The boy's fluffy hair shone softly in the sunlight, and he led her into the classroom, just like a scene from a campus romance novel.
"Qin Xuan, do you still remember when we were in No. 1 High School, you held my hand?"
Qin Xuan remained calm, showing no sign of panic at being exposed. "Yes, I remember."
Ye Zhizhou blushed. He had done it on purpose. Unable to contain her curiosity, she continued to ask.
"Then why did you hold my hand back then?"
Qin Xuan remained silent for a long time before replying, "Because you're good-looking."
Ye Zhizhou: ? ? ?
I'd be a fool to believe you!
