Chapter 211 We're on the table, just once.
"Don't blame your parents for being too strict today. We really can't accept it when we see you carrying a big bag of things upstairs and then making a fuss about delivering it to him."
"We raised you with utmost care, taught you to read and understand right from wrong, so that you could see the world, see the distance, become a better person, and live a life worthy of your own."
"It's not that we want you to fawn over some young punk, work like a slave at his company, and cook for him after work. We hope this is just a passing fancy, otherwise we'll be heartbroken."
The words my parents once said kept echoing in my ears.
Yunyang lay on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.
yes.
Why did she come here?
It was to save Li Yuan.
It was also to give himself a chance to be reborn.
Li Ting said that.
Although Tian Qing left right after starting to write this book, the general direction of the story has already been set.
The male and female protagonists fall in love, get married, and have two children within three years.
The reason I wrote it this way is because this is the life of many ordinary girls in reality.
In fact, many people have never even experienced a proper, sweet romance.
That's why books like this exist to help people realize their dreams.
But she, Yun Yang, had finally managed to break free from that broken and dilapidated world.
Are we really going to willingly trap ourselves in another meticulously crafted dream?
Her life can't really revolve solely around the four words "boss's son" in the book title...
Yun Yang turned her head and looked at Xu Mingyue, who was sleeping soundly beside her with a suspicious drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.
He reached out and nudged Xu Mingyue's arm.
Xu Mingyue was startled awake in her sleep, and she groggily called out to herself.
"My male models! Don't go! Dance for me one more time!"
Yun Yang: "..."
She increased her strength and shoved Xu Mingyue away.
"Mingyue, wake up, I have something important to tell you."
Xu Mingyue was shaken so badly that she was completely disoriented, and finally slowly opened one eye.
He patted Yunyang's back, as if coaxing a child.
"Sleep, sleep, my dear baby..."
She thought Yunyang was talking in her sleep.
With a "snap".
Yunyang simply turned on the bedside lamp.
The blinding light instantly illuminated the entire room.
"Mingyue, let's go study abroad."
Xu Mingyue rubbed her eyes and sat up impatiently.
"What's wrong with you in the middle of the night, Miss Yun?"
Yun Yang looked at her with a serious expression.
"I'm not talking nonsense."
"Think about it carefully. Your parents are both university professors, and so is my mother."
"Why is it that neither of us got into graduate school? This doesn't make sense!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Mingyue rolled her eyes dramatically.
"What's so unscientific about this?"
"While others were burning the midnight oil and doing practice problems in the library, I was in my dorm researching how to make wigs and how to vote for my crushes."
"If I could get into graduate school, that would be truly unscientific!"
Yun Yang was speechless, choked by her words.
"..."
Xu Mingyue yawned, lay back down, and pulled the blanket over her head.
"Besides, you're just getting emotional late at night and overthinking things."
"For a family like ours, it's no problem to support us to live comfortably in China."
“Studying abroad? That’s too much of a burden. What if my parents stop supporting me? I don’t want to be washing dishes in a restaurant.”
"I have money, I'll support you."
Yun Yang smiled mysteriously and pulled her phone out from under her pillow.
"Look, I was lucky a while ago and won the lottery."
Xu Mingyue squinted and leaned closer.
When she saw the number on the screen, she gasped in shock.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands..."
She stretched out her finger and poked at the screen, counting the zeros one by one.
Densely packed.
She counted several times, but she still couldn't figure out how many zeros followed by the number.
Anyway, there are a lot.
Yun Yang proudly raised her chin.
"Now that the money issue is resolved, are we going or not?"
Xu Mingyue's sleepiness had long since vanished.
"Go! You absolutely have to go! Anyone who doesn't go is a dog!"
"I don't care! I'm going! I'm going to Japan! That's the hometown of my idols! I'm going to buy all their merchandise!"
Yun Yang pouted.
"I don't want to go."
"In Japan, apart from their music and animation, which are okay, I hate everything else."
Xu Mingyue blinked and counted on her fingers.
"Yangyang, are you sure you said three things?"
Yun Yang nodded confidently.
"That's right, there are three types."
She paused, then gently coaxed him.
"Let's go to France."
"The city of romance, a temple of art, and haven't you heard? Rich people love to do art."
Xu Mingyue hesitated.
"France? Doesn't that require testing in two languages?"
Yun Yang leaned close to her ear, lowered her voice, and seduced her like a little devil.
"But, blond-haired, blue-eyed men may have a short bloom, but their good looks are truly undeniable!"
"Imagine this: on the banks of the Seine, a melancholic yet handsome blond man, playing guitar and singing love songs for you—that scene..."
Xu Mingyue's eyes lit up instantly.
My mouth was practically watering.
"Let's go! Let's go to France!"
...
When Li Yuan learned of Yun Yang's decision to study abroad, he was completely stunned.
He was happily planning that once he reached a certain age, he would take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As a result, my future wife suddenly wants to fly away?
He only emo for a moment, about thirty seconds.
Then, they quickly accepted this fact and formulated a completely new battle plan.
Yangyang wants to improve herself, which is a good thing and should be supported unconditionally.
Besides, who says you can't date when you're abroad?
He can go along too!
Therefore, Li Yuan immediately took action.
First, I spent the whole day cramming on all sorts of information about studying in France.
Then, he transformed his apartment into a "preparatory intensive course for studying abroad".
To make Yunyang's studies more comfortable, he also bought a lot of new things.
There are smart desks that can be adjusted to different heights, ergonomic chairs that perfectly conform to the curves of the human body, and top-of-the-line eye-protecting desk lamps to protect eyesight.
Of course, Kim Ki-ro couldn't be idle either.
Ask him to provide one-on-one English tutoring for Xu Mingyue.
In reality, he just disliked Xu Mingyue for being too much of a third wheel, as she would interfere with his time alone with Yun Yang.
That evening, Li Yuan printed out a mock exam for Yun Yang.
He placed the test paper in front of Yun Yang, braced his hands on the table, and pulled her into his arms.
"Go for it, sister!"
"If we're just one point away from our target score, we'll get one more chance tonight."
Yun Yang pushed away his face that was leaning towards her.
"Li Yuan! Be serious! I'm studying!"
Li Yuan grinned mischievously and blew a breath into her ear.
"I'm very serious, sister."
"This is called motivational learning; pressure creates motivation."
Yun Yang glared at him.
"I disagree!"
Li Yuan chuckled softly, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe.
"Opposition is ineffective; how can a student disobey a teacher who diligently nurtures her?"
"Sister, you should try harder, otherwise if you can't get out of bed tomorrow, it will affect your study progress."
Yun Yang: "..."
That bastard!
She took a deep breath, picked up her pen, and began writing on the test paper.
Li Yuan sat next to her without saying a word, just resting his chin on his hand and looking at her with a smile.
His gaze was so intense it felt like it could melt her.
After writing the last word, Yunyang nervously put down her pen, her palms sweaty.
Li Yuan picked up the test paper, took out a red pen, and began to slowly and methodically correct it.
Time passed by, second by second.
Yun Yang's heart jumped into her throat.
Finally, Li Yuan put down his pen, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.
"Sister, you're three points short."
The next second, before Yun Yang could react, Li Yuan swept her up in his arms.
"It seems that my sister hasn't been working hard enough."
He carried her and strode towards the bedroom.
Startled, Yun Yang quickly clung to his shoulder, looking at him pitifully.
"I spent the whole night writing papers, and my head is spinning."
"If you touch me again, I'll definitely be in a worse state tomorrow and won't be able to concentrate on my studies."
Li Yuan paused in his steps.
He looked down at the person in his arms. Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked exhausted. She really looked very tired.
He felt sorry for him.
"All right."
He sighed, his voice full of grievance.
"But, sister, you should at least offer me some comfort, shouldn't you?"
"Putting aside the fact that we haven't done this for almost a month, I tried so hard to teach you, but you still failed. You have to soothe my wounded heart."
Yun Yang's heart softened instantly when she saw his expression, which resembled that of a large, abandoned dog.
"So what do you want?"
Li Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.
He held Yunyang in his arms, then turned and walked back to the living room.
"How about this, we'll do it on the table, just once."
Before Yun Yang could react, he had already gently placed her on the smart desk.
At the same time, Li Yuan pressed the rise button on the side of the table.
The desk slowly rose to a perfect position.
He lowered his head, and his burning lips captured hers without a word.
"Hmm..."
