Chapter 153
“I won’t hide it then.” Bai Yang stared into her eyes, “You and Ling Yuan don’t have an ordinary relationship, right? I’ve seen several times that you guys have gone out alone on dates, and mom doesn’t delve into what you guys go out for, but, in the future, you can’t be like this.”
“What did mom think we went out for? What did you have in mind?”
Ji Yu always knew that Bai Yang didn’t trust herself, was it in her eyes that she was a person with no trust, no shame, no knowledge of right and wrong? So over and over again, she used such language to vilify her?
Ji Yu’s heart was infarcted, ”Do you think we went to do something unseemly? Do you think we went to fall in love or to fool around with our friends? We just went out to study. Senior helped me with my English, otherwise, how could I, a student from a small place, pass the exams of the big city’s school masters? Even if I pass once, I can’t pass every time, right?”
“Speaking of which, I have to thank them for tutoring me in English for so long without receiving a penny.”
“If you want tutoring, tell mom, and she’ll find you a tutorial class, or else you can find your brother Zihao.” Bai Yang’s tone softened a bit.
“There’s no need for that now, and besides, Senior Ling is in the last semester of his senior year, where would he find the time to help me with my tutoring?”
Ji Yu forced herself to sound as calm as possible, “Believe it or not, he and I are not in a relationship right now.”
“It’s good that there isn’t, mom is also doing this for your own good. No matter what, some people are not able to climb up with our status, think about the status of the Ling family in Phoenix City, mom has been here for so many years, and is considered to have watched the young master of the Ling family grow up, that is really a child who grew up with a golden key, with his status like that, and being good at everything, he is going to be together with those door-to-door golden girls in the future.”
“If you have any thoughts about the young master of the Ling family, I advise you to break it off before it’s too late. Ling Yuan is about to take the college entrance exam, so don’t bother him again, in case you say something bad that affects his mood, what if he doesn’t do well in the exam and blames you for it?”
“This is something your Uncle Liang also told me.”
Bai Yang spoke slowly, word by word sent to Ji Yu’s ears, but she felt unusually harsh when she heard it.
After all was said and done, the last sentence was the real reason, right?
Liang Zhongwen’s words were like an imperial decree to Bai Yang, telling her to go east, she would never go west.
She understood everything.
She is still young, can’t earn money, and can’t give Bai Yang a superior life.
She understands.
Every sentence she said for her own good seemed to be followed by countless reasons why she had to do it for her own good.
Even though these reasons seemed practically absurd and ridiculous to Ji Yu.
“Mom, I’ve grown up, I know what I’m doing and what I should and shouldn’t do. My goal now is to study hard and then take the college entrance exam.”
The little girl’s voice was still soft and well-spoken.
But the truth was, Ji Yu really didn’t want to say anything more to Bai Yang.
Bai Yang breathed a sigh of relief, she never really knew much about this daughter, her memories of her were of a soft and sticky personality, they had raised her to be very well-behaved, and she would rarely refute an adult’s words.
“Then mom is relieved, Little Fishing is so pretty and smart, she can definitely find a boyfriend that suits you in the future.”
After the talk that day, Ji Yu went back to school after lunch.
Opening her cell phone, WeChat was full of messages from Ling Yuan.
[ChiYu, didn’t you say you went home? Where is everyone?”]
[Why are you ignoring me?
Didn’t we agree to go back to school together?
[Hurry up and reply to the message, do you want to rush me to death?]
The teenager’s language is always so sincere and undisguised.
Ji Yu’s fingertips were fixed on the screen, flipping through the chat logs one by one.
Bai Yang’s words were not without an effect on her, or rather her words were precisely what reminded her.
She began to think back to the bits and pieces of her time with Ling Yuan.
When she first came to Phoenix City, her did say that she wanted to keep a distance from Ling Yuan’s group of people, but in the subsequent time she spent with them, she slowly realized that in fact, not to mention Ling Yuan, even Liang Zihao, Zhou Muyun, Song Che, and the rest of the people were all very approachable and treated her with barefaced sincerity.
She even knew that the reason why they accepted her so easily was not only because of Liang Zihao’s stepsister, but more because of Ling Yuan’s love for her.
For them, where was there so much disparity between rich and poor? There was just a similarity of interest.
That’s why she’s slowly letting down her defenses to get close to them.
Ling Yuan is a good thing that she did not intend to harvest when she was traveling alone.
It is the source of strength that she injected when she was exhausted.
He always appeared by her side when she was helpless, like the sun, warming her cold heart.
From the beginning, Ji Yu knew, Ling Yuan is very good, he seems to be born is the protagonist, wherever he goes with its own luminescent body, other people’s existence can only be reduced to the accompaniment.
And she, just an ordinary girl, indeed is not worthy of him.
Facing such an excellent boy, Ji Yu is not without pressure, before they confessed their hearts, Ji Yu also had low self-esteem, also once thought of giving up, although she never revealed just a word in front of Ling Yuan. But she couldn’t give up in the end, and as her gaze lingered on him more and more, she knew she couldn’t let go of him.
She had always believed that feelings were mutually chosen, and since he had chosen her and she had chosen him, there was no reason for her to be intimidated by the world without making any changes.
This was not her character.
Therefore, she was also working desperately hard, trying to make herself better, to make herself better, to move closer to him little by little, trying to shorten the distance between them, and then catching up with him little by little.
Ji Yu believed that she wouldn’t cause her grades to slip just because she adored someone.
She believed that Ling Yuan wouldn’t either.
They would only get better together.
Because, they had long ago made a date that they would be together when she graduated and then attend University Q together.
Ji Yu lowered her head and sent Ling Yuan a location, then sent a sentence:
[See you at the school playground.
With this aggressive stance, those who didn’t know, would have thought that she was on a date with someone.
Ling Yuan smiles helplessly, [Little Ancestor, you want to fight?
Chi: [It’s not impossible.]
Ling: [Big brother, please be merciful.]
He sent a weak and helpless emoji.
When Ji Yu saw it, he snorted and laughed: [The school bully is also this weak?
Ling: [That’s a must, it’s not shameful to be a wimp in front of the school bully’s little ancestor.]
Ji Yu can’t help but pull the corners of her mouth up into a big arc, and the depression from the morning at Liang’s house is swept away.
Ling Yuan always has a way to make her happy.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally.
After a while, Ji Yu replies to the message, [Tired? Roll King.]
After Ling Yuan moved to the research building, he took a small test in three days, a big test in five days, and when he wasn’t taking the test, he was brushing up on problems, and Chi Yu nicknamed him the King of Volumes.
Ling: [I’m tired, I’m tired of scrubbing, I want to take the college entrance exams right away.
Pool: [Why? Tired of going to school with me?
