The final exams are finally over. After lights out, everyone is chatting in the dorm, discussing their plans for the holidays.
Lin Wanwan said, "I'm going to the lab with Gu Yan, so I don't plan to go home."
Li Peiyu: "Did you and Gu Yan kiss that day?"
"No, I wouldn't dare," Lin Wanwan replied.
"Look at you, so pathetic. What are you afraid of?" Li Peiyu said with disdain. Back then, it took her a lot of courage to seduce Gu Yan's father. She rushed at him after drinking a little alcohol.
Lin Wanwan said, "That day, Gu Yan and I came out of the lab, and I offered to treat him to dinner, but he refused, saying he had to report to his father."
"Wanwan, whether you try or not will directly determine my life or death. You have to step up your game! Gu Yan is so innocent, he's easy to win over," Li Peiyu said earnestly to Lin Wanwan.
"Taking the initiative is really difficult for me," Lin Wanwan said timidly.
"The day I lock you two in a room, you close your eyes, take off your clothes, and pounce on me."
"Listen to that, my sister Yu is really something, she can come up with such a bold idea." Guo Jiahe couldn't help but complain.
"Lin Wanwan, are you in or not? Are you in or not?" Li Peiyu pressed impatiently.
"Will this work? I'd better forget it, I'm too shy."
Li Peiyu was disappointed and frustrated, calling him "a good-for-nothing."
"Peiyu, are you going home for the holidays?" Lin Wanwan changed the subject.
"Yes, I will." Li Peiyu said decisively.
Li Peiyu longed for her parents' love so much that she wanted to go home and stay by her parents' side to fully enjoy the feeling of being deeply loved by them.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.
A few days ago, her brother Li Peixiao called her.
On the other end of the phone, her brother excitedly told her that their parents had made a major decision. They planned to quit their jobs selling tiles, which they had been doing for years.
My parents rented a shop near Tianlu Lake in the suburbs. The place is peaceful and beautiful, and many people come here to relax on weekends. After careful consideration, they wanted to run a small restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere, providing delicious food for passersby.
Li Peiyu was overjoyed when she found out. She felt a quiet gratitude towards Lu Yuzhi. If it weren't for him, if he hadn't been so generous, her family wouldn't be living such a good life.
It was because of him that her parents had the means to try a new life and dared to have new aspirations for it. They could no longer be as busy with the tile business as before, and instead have more freedom to manage their time and lives.
Thinking of this, Li Peiyu couldn't help but think of Lu Yuzhi. She wondered if he was thinking of her too.
"Jiahe, are you going home?" Lin Wanwan interrupted Li Peiyu's thoughts.
Guo Jiahe said, "I have to clean the edges every day, how am I supposed to clean them when I get home?"
Li Peiyu asked, "Neither you nor Wanwan are going home, so where are you staying?"
"Let's rent a single room," Guo Jiahe suggested.
“Single rooms are not safe. I’ll rent an apartment for you two.” Renting an apartment for two months would only cost 10,000 yuan, which she could afford. She wouldn’t want her sisters to feel wronged.
"Really? Pei-Yu? You're so kind." Guo Jia-He could hardly believe his ears.
"It's okay, just pay me back ten times the money you make from the live stream."
"no problem."
Li Peiyu picked up her phone to check her balance. She still had 4.36 million yuan left from her "sale of herself." Li Peiyu couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Thinking about her future, a smooth road ahead—how delightful!
All of this was given to her by Lu Yuzhi. Li Peiyu regretted her actions that day in H City, wondering if she had been too heartless. He had been so generous with the money, yet she had run away that very night.
Li Peiyu felt guilty, her mind racing with incoherent thoughts. Why run away? What's wrong with letting her benefactor sleep a couple more times? Should she call her benefactor and ask for two free nights? Forget it, she didn't have a phone.
Tian Yuan listened quietly to her sisters' conversation without saying a word; she genuinely envied their carefree lifestyle.
"And what about you, Tian Yuan?"
"Of course I'm going back," Tian Yuan said, suppressing the heartbreak in her heart. She had no choice but to go back.
Tian Yuan clutched the corner of the blanket, tears secretly sliding down her cheeks, but she dared not cry out loud.
Tian Yuan grew up in extreme poverty. Her mother was in poor health and suffered from illness for many years, requiring frequent hospitalizations. Almost all of the family's meager savings were spent on her mother's medical expenses. Her father, a man whose back was bent by the weight of life, made a decision that would cause Tian Yuan a lifetime of pain in the face of such a difficult situation.
From a very young age, Tian Yuan's school fees and daily allowance were all generously funded by her neighbors, the Zhou family. At first, Tian Yuan was grateful; she felt that her neighbors were truly kind people who had extended a helping hand during her most difficult time.
However, as she grew older, she gradually discovered that things were far more complicated than they seemed.
The Zhou family was considered wealthy in their area. They had an only son named Zhou Ying, but Zhou Ying was lazy and uneducated from a young age. Zhou Jiaxuan and Tian Yuan became his wife because Zhou's mother discovered that Tian Yuan was exceptionally intelligent from a young age and consistently ranked first in her class.
Zhou's mother was planning to take Tianyuan as her daughter, raise her well, and then have her marry Zhou Ying when she grew up. She would then hand over the family business to Tianyuan, and she and her husband could retire in peace.
Zhou's mother confided her thoughts to Tianyuan's father. Tianyuan's father, smoking, reasoned that if they didn't sell their daughter, she wouldn't be able to afford school, and when she grew up, she would only marry into an ordinary family, not even as wealthy as the Zhou family. If they sold their daughter, the Zhou family could support her education, and she could help manage the Zhou family's business in the future. Perhaps she could make a name for herself and wouldn't end up like most girls, trapped as housewives for life.
