Capital City.
The day after Xiaofan and Li Kuo had left for a week.
Originally, it was thought that orchestrating a scene where Liu Siyan caught Ye Xiaofan and Huang Shanshan could completely damage their relationship.
However, Ye Weiwei forgot to account for one person: Chen ngying.
Indeed, if it weren't for Chen ngying, the plan might not have been completely successful, but at least it would have had so effect.
But because Liu Siyan had the comfort of the ticulous and intelligent Chen ngying by her side, she managed to calm down and dispel the misunderstanding.
During the week Xiaofan was away, Ye Shaolong exerted great effort to get close to Liu Siyan, almost running into her three tis a day at school and inviting her to dinner after club activities.
But Zhang Yuxuan, the club president, wasn't easy to deal with. Every eting between him and Shaolong ended in fierce argunts.
In the end, Liu Siyan, unable to take it anymore, reluctantly agreed to one dinner invitation from Ye Shaolong.
However, when going to dinner, Chen ngying would definitely accompany Liu Siyan.
She agreed to Ye Shaolong only to clarify that there was nothing between them and hoped he wouldn't waste his ti and energy on her.
But Ye Shaolong, not thinking things through, entirely missed the underlying aning of Liu Siyan's words. Afterward, he proudly reported to Ye Weiwei that he had successfully invited Liu Siyan to dinner.
This news was welco for Ye Daqiao.
Seeing Xiaofan return, Ye Shaolong found that Liu Siyan and Ye Xiaofan left the school together for dinner again, suggesting their relationship wasn't as strained as previously thought.
The last setup was a spur-of-the-mont decision, and Ye Weiwei's plan wasn't that simple.
If Ye Xiaofan's presence was directly obstructing his brother Shaolong's interaction with Liu Siyan, then making him disappear from the school was the best solution.
So, how did Ye Weiwei plan to make Xiaofan leave the school? What agreent did she and Huang Shanshan reach?
"What? You plan to build farms and ranches in the remote mountains? And expand later?"
In a restaurant, Chen ngying was surprised to hear Li Kuo ntion their week in a remote mountain area.
"Not us, his own plan." Li Kuo quickly clarified.
"Xiaofan, while starting a business young isn't wrong, I read a bit about that area online. The climate is nice, but it's all mountains and ridges. Developing it will be costly, and if progress isn't made, it could easily result in losses."
"Wow, impressive, as expected from soone studying this field. I've decided, if my business reaches a certain scale, I'll definitely hire you as chief advisor." Xiaofan replied with a laugh, quite surprised to hear such insights from his old classmate.
"Xiaofan, I'm not joking."
"Neither am I."
"Siyan, aren't you going to talk sense into him?"
"What's there to say? There are a thousand ways to make money in Capital City; why go to the mountains? Why would he build a farm there? Think a bit, and you'll figure it out."
Indeed, a naturally clever woman.
No wonder Xiaofan considered Liu Siyan his goddess back in high school.
Body, looks, family background? No, Xiaofan was never mundane; Liu Siyan's early revealed talents left him in awe.
Even today, her words struck Xiaofan with surprise.
Yes, even Li Kuo, who witnessed everything, couldn't figure it out, but she did within a few remarks over two days—coincidence? Accident? Or her keen mind?
Liu Siyan shot Xiaofan a glance, not continuing. What's undeniable is that she knows Xiaofan best among those present. Xiaofan for money? No way. Why would anyone risk so much on a laborious and thankless mountain investnt?
"Remarkable, indeed, a mind connection..." Li Kuo praised.
"..."
Today, Liu Siyan didn't argue much, just turned away, not looking at Xiaofan.
"Here, take a look; these are photos the village chief took of us that day. If you had been there, you'd have loved it. Look at these kids, so easily satisfied. Bringing them unfamiliar snacks, candies, school supplies, new clothes—things ordinary to city kids, yet treasures to them." Li Kuo showed photos on his phone.
Looking at the photos, Liu Siyan and Chen ngying's eyes revealed regret. They really wished they'd gone; such a pity.
"Next ti, can we join you?" Chen ngying quickly asked, seeing Liu Siyan's thoughts.
"No problem, though there's no air conditioning, water heater, or WiFi at the lodging."
"I know, it's not a tourist trip."
The al ended on a very harmonious note. Although Xiaofan and Liu Siyan exchanged no direct words, the atmosphere made them feel closer.
"Ah, I'm full. Ti for a shower and rest..." Li Kuo suggested as it wasn't early anymore.
"It's still early. How about..." Chen ngying seed reluctant to end the night.
But Li Kuo kept motioning to her as if eager for sothing.
"Hmm? Ah, right, it is late. Li Kuo, can you drop at the school on your way ho? Siyan, you're going the sa way as Xiaofan, go together."
"What? Hey, weren't you staying at my place tonight?"
"Hmm? I have sothing early tomorrow; can't make it..."
"Ah, what are you fussing about? Let's go, let's go." And off they went, Li Kuo urging Chen ngying.
She quickly followed, leaving Xiaofan and Liu Siyan in the room.
