Chapter 69: Is it Hu Yu Ying not allowing you to talk to other girls?
“No, who’s spouting nonsense?” Li Qing Xue’s originally pretty mood was suddenly as ugly as a rotten egg.
Li Mu looked at Li Qing Xue and fully believed her daughter’s innocence: “Your homeroom teacher didn’t say anything specific, just asked me to pass along a question—are you willing to sit with Ye Liang Chen at class?”
Li Qing Xue wasn’t dumb. Once it got to this point, she immediately got pissed: “No! I refuse!”
“I trust my daughter,” her dad said confidently. “Mom and I will have a chat with your homeroom teacher about this.”
Still, Li Qing Xue felt pretty uncomfortable inside.
She hastily gobbled down a bite of food and then retreated to her room.
Sitting on her bed, she silently simmered in her anger.
She never expected Ye Liang Chen to do such a thing.
After knowing him for so long, she was honestly starting to see through him a bit.
Why would he slander her, claiming she was dating at school?
“I absolutely will not sit with you,” she thought angrily, then grabbed her phone and promptly unfollowed Ye Liang Chen.
This time, Li Qing Xue was truly mad.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Li Mu didn’t just call her homeroom teacher back.
She also told the teacher that Li Qing Xue wasn’t dating anyone at school, and moreover, she got the contact number of Ye Liang Chen’s parents from the teacher.
No matter the reason, as parents, they naturally didn’t want anyone at school spreading malicious rumors about their daughter.
She dialed Ye Liang Chen’s mother.
The voice on the other end was impatient and annoyed.
When learning that the caller was Li Qing Xue’s parents, Ye Mother finally adjusted her tone.
She proceeded to extol her son’s virtues—how obedient, considerate, and filial he was—like her kid was the best boy in the universe.
But after Li Mu’s words, Ye Mother’s expression started to turn impatient again: “Enough, I get it.”
She hung up, mumbling softly, “What’s so worth bragging about? To be chosen by my son is their blessing. But even the heavens drop blessings, and you can’t hold onto them. What a bunch of nonsense.”
Ye Liang Chen, coming out to use the bathroom, overheard this and couldn’t help asking what was wrong.
Ye Mother snorted dismissively: “Li Qing Xue’s parents called. I really can’t stand it. If you like their daughter, they just don’t know how lucky they are.”
Ye Liang Chen frowned: “Why did you tell them all that?”
Ye Mother heaved a sigh of relief: “Son, you’re Mom and Dad’s treasure. We’re your strongest backing. If you like her, of course we want to help you.”
“But I don’t know what kind of parents she has. You’re so good, so outstanding—being able to like their daughter is their fortune. But they keep calling to question us. I really don’t see what they’re so fussed about.”
Ye Liang Chen sighed helplessly: “I can handle this myself. You don’t need to get involved, okay?”
Ye Mother said earnestly: “Mom just wants to help you. I saw you sitting alone in the room, looking all mopey, and it made my heart ache. My son is so good—why should you suffer this kind of grievance?”
Looking seriously at Ye Liang Chen, she continued: “In Mom’s eyes, my son is worthy of any girl in this world.”
Hearing this, Ye Liang Chen’s heart warmed.
“Forget it. Mom, do you believe in me?”
“There are some things I can’t tell you, but I can tell you this—Li Qing Xue also likes me, she just hasn’t realized her own feelings yet.”
“By the way, Mom, you’re right—your son is truly excellent. Though it might make Mom laugh to say this, I’ll say it anyway: in the future, I’ll marry you three beautiful and talented daughters-in-law.”
That’s the confidence of Ye Liang Chen.
Awaiting the day his treasure girl sees through the twisted, shadowy side of Dragon Brother—that only I, Ye Liang Chen, truly love, cherish, and protect her.
When Li Qing Xue finally recognizes her own heart, she will remember all I’ve done for her, feel regret, then suddenly wake up, come to me seeking reconciliation, chase after me, and fall madly in love.
And as for my little sweetheart—well, that’s a story from when the sun was just right, the flowers were blooming—when I returned to my rural hometown and met the crying girl who had fallen to the ground…
“Alright, I love seeing my son confident. You’re my good boy, brave Liang Chen. No matter how tough it gets, Mom believes you’ll bring home a beautiful, thoughtful wife.”
“If you could marry three daughters-in-law, Mom and Dad would wake up laughing in our sleep.”
Ye Liang Chen smiled confidently: “Mom, don’t you believe in me? If you do, then just watch. I’ll make you and Dad laugh in your sleep.”
“Because, this is my confidence!” At this, Ye Liang Chen smirked proudly.
…
The next morning, just as dawn broke.
Li Qing Xue kicked off her covers and groggily sat up in bed.
She rubbed her messy long hair, went to wash up, and changed clothes. Then, she skillfully opened the fridge, grabbed a sandwich and some milk, and started jogging outside.
Going to Shuiwan every week had long become a habit.
And she had already started considering Dragon Brother a friend.
Early, she arrived at the riverbank of Shuiwan, chose a spot, placed her sandwich and milk down, propped her chin on her hand, and waited quietly.
She looked up at the sky—what a beautiful day. She knew he loved soaking up the sun, so he’d definitely come, right?
Li Qing Xue was thinking this.
Soon, she heard footsteps on the grass.
She looked back, a smile brightening her face: “Here! Here!” she waved excitedly.
“You’re early today.”
Dragon Brother Laotian casually found a spot to lie down, feeling the gentle breeze.
Such rare leisure time was truly wonderful.
Li Qing Xue stood up, grabbed her sandwich and milk, and moved closer—yet suddenly, her mind flashed with Hu Yu Ying’s image.
So she kept some distance, then sat down.
She only regarded Dragon Brother as a friend, a confidant she could pour her heart out to.
“Here, this is for you,” she said, placing the sandwich and milk beside him.
Then she started talking about her sadness and frustration.
Especially when she heard about Ye Liang Chen’s mom making that call to her homeroom teacher, accusing her of dating and delaying her son’s studies—inside, Dragon Brother couldn’t help but go, “Whoa.” Can they really do this?
But he still held back, didn’t say much.
Before, he didn’t know Li Qing Xue was actually her second love—that “White Moonlight” she couldn’t forget. Now that he knew, he figured she was better left as a plant—listening quietly.
Li Qing Xue had trouble hiding things. Once she said them out loud, she felt instantly relieved.
But after she finished speaking, she didn’t get a response from Dragon Brother.
He turned his head, wondering if he might have dozed off in the comfort of his surroundings.
So she gently reached out and took the leaves covering his eyes.
“Why are you doing that? There are so many leaves over there; go pick some yourself.”
“You’re not asleep, huh? I thought you’d fallen asleep. If you’re not asleep, why aren’t you talking to me?”
At this, Li Qing Xue’s eyes twinkled mischievously, as if she suddenly got an idea, and she whispered with a smile: “Is Hu Yu Ying not letting you talk to other girls?”
Hearing this, Dragon Brother nearly jumped up from the ground: “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I and Hu Yu Ying are in a superior-subordinate relationship—you better not talk nonsense…”
