"Today is so much fun!"

They were walking on the street.

After the weather got warmer, the street had obviously become much livelier.

Especially in the area they were passing by now.

Neon lights, billboards, and all kinds of food stalls filled the place with a strong sense of life!

People who had finished a day's work gathered here. It was so bustling.

"Shall we all stay and work in Kyoto in the future?" Lin Wanning asked softly.

Her competition had been confirmed. If she could make it to the finals and achieve good results, she might develop her career here in Kyoto in the future.

Maybe her request was a bit excessive. After all, everyone had their own aspirations. But deep down, she hoped they wouldn't part ways. Even if things remained the same as they were now, she didn't want to be separated from them...

Hu Yuying and Long Aotian exchanged a smile. They had talked about this kind of topic a long time ago.

Moreover, they already had a home here.

So their eyes inadvertently fell on Li Qingxue.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

"Don't tell me you want to separate from me?"

"I won't allow that."

Hu Yuying took a deep breath. "The pace of life in this city is so fast. I think it'll take us a long time to get used to it."

Lin Wanning nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's so fast." She knew this only too well.

School life and social life were completely different concepts.

"Pressure makes us motivated. I'm full of energy!" Li Qingxue clenched her small fist and gave herself a cheering gesture.

"Brother, what happened at your school?" Lin Wanning asked softly as she looked at the messages in the school group chat on her phone.

Long Aotian picked out some things that he could talk about.

"Is she okay? And is Huang Fei still with her..." Li Qingxue asked curiously.

"I'll go there tomorrow. Maybe it'll be hard for both of them to accept, but they have to accept it this time. The matter has gotten out of hand."

Long Aotian sighed. How could things have turned out like this?

What on earth was Shen Mengjie's mother thinking? She had cut off Shen Mengjie's future with her own hands!

The three girls couldn't help but sigh.

The next day.

Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue both had full - day classes today.

They would be free early in the afternoon anyway.

So they planned to ask Xu Shuai and Li Longlong to go with them to find Huang Fei.

"How was it last night?" Long Aotian asked.

"Not good," Li Longlong sighed and then looked at Xu Shuai.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like this? People might think someone has done something to you!"

Long Aotian joked as he looked at the silent Xu Shuai.

"I almost got beaten up by him yesterday," Xu Shuai still felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this.

Hearing this, Long Aotian frowned. "What's going on?"

"Let Li Longlong tell you."

Li Longlong told the whole story.

And after Xu Shuai left, Huang Fei admitted his mistake and said he would find a suitable opportunity to apologize to Xu Shuai.

"Why wait for an opportunity? Let him apologize today." Then he looked at Xu Shuai. "Is that okay? If not, Li Longlong and I will hold him down and you can punch him hard to vent your anger."

This sentence made Xu Shuai, who had been in a bad mood, burst into laughter.

Seeing Xu Shuai laugh, Long Aotian continued, "It's hard for Huang Fei to accept this. It's understandable that he's in a bad mood. We're all brothers, so don't take it to heart."

After being told this by Long Aotian, Xu Shuai actually didn't feel angry anymore.

Seeing this, Long Aotian gave Xu Shuai a gentle punch on the chest. "Let's go, have breakfast. I'll treat you!"

...

In the hospital ward.

Shen Mengjie was supposed to be under observation for three days.

But she didn't want to wait any longer. It was all too late now. She had been expelled from school, and there was no point in staying here.

While everyone was away, she might as well leave.

"Mengjie, look who I've brought," Shen Xiu's voice was full of joy.

Ye Liangchen walked in with his hands in his pockets, following behind. Seeing Shen Mengjie packing up her things, he gave a confident smile. "Mengjie, are you going out? I'm here to pick you up."

Shen Mengjie ignored them and continued packing her things on her own.

Seeing this, Ye Liangchen looked at Shen Xiu. He had already spent his money. He had come here today to take Shen Mengjie to get married to him, but he was being snubbed.

Shen Xiu quickly stepped forward. "It's good to go home. But I can see your belly is getting bigger. It's better to get things done earlier. Look, I've brought the household register."

"I won't marry him. If you want to marry him, go ahead yourself."

Slap!

A clear slap landed on Shen Mengjie's face.

Ye Liangchen was stunned.

Shen Xiu crossed her arms. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Mengjie was pregnant, she would have hit her long ago. "I've already taken the money. Do you think you can just say no? You can't have your way."

"Are you trying to drive me to death?" Ignoring the burning pain on her face, Shen Mengjie looked at Shen Xiu and said word by word.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Why can't you understand my good intentions?"

"I'm your mother. I can decide everything about you."

Ye Liangchen coughed lightly and then said, "Mengjie, auntie is also doing this for your own good. Your reputation is already ruined, and your body is no longer pure. There really aren't many people like me who don't mind and are willing to take you with all your 'baggage'."

"You make me sick!"

The words were like a sharp sword, stabbing deeply into Ye Liangchen's so - called sincere heart.

He slowly closed his eyes, then stamped his foot and looked at Shen Xiu. "Auntie, look at her!"

"I don't even mind her, and I'm willing to spend 100,000 yuan to show my sincerity. How can she treat me like this? Does she still think she's from a decent family?"

In Shen Xiu's eyes, Ye Liangchen was the kind of person who was stupid and rich. How could she let go of such a cash cow?

Moreover, Ye Liangchen was right. Shen Mengjie's body was "dirty" and her reputation was ruined. Otherwise, would she have found an old man to marry her off?

She just didn't understand her mother's good intentions.

"You'll take the train tomorrow. Go back with me obediently and get things done. After that, I won't care what you do."

"But until then, you can't go anywhere. Remember, you're my daughter. No matter where you go, as long as you're still my girl, I can call the police and find you."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Liangchen and flattered him with a smile. "Don't mind her. I'll teach her a good lesson when I get back. I'll definitely make you satisfied. But you also treat Mengjie well. I've remembered what you said."

"Don't worry." His eyes wandered back and forth between Shen Mengjie's body and face, and he couldn't help licking his lips. "Actually, I'm a savior. I'm with Mengjie just because I want to save her."

"Maybe she can't understand my good intentions now, but it doesn't matter. Time will prove everything!"

"After all, compared with some scumbags who dare to do something but don't dare to take responsibility, at least I'm open and aboveboard!"

...
