Chapter 121 A Girl’s Heart
(These past two days, I’ve spent money on injections and updated 3 Chapters at 9,000 words, short by 1,000 words, and the full attendance bonus of 500 is gone, losing over a thousand. To soone like who’s been struggling financially lately, it’s quite a bit. I need to work hard! Today I’ll aim for 4 updates! We’re at 897 monthly passes, let’s strive for 910!)
Seeing Yurong’s "hunger strike," it was actually just a wordplay of not eating. Although it’s been tough relying on temporary als for a few days, at least it’s not as severe as a real hunger strike. No wonder she still had energy, Li Yan felt relieved.
Talking about serious matters, Yurong imdiately beca serious and whispered, "My dad and mom said things have been pretty chaotic lately..."
"...So, for my safety, they said they want to go away for a while. They said they’ve arranged a trip to Celestial Continent with Li Jie to accompany and protect , and I’ll co back when things are settled in a few months."
Li Yan shook his head quietly; what kind of idea is this?
After waiting for a while, Yurong didn’t continue, making him a bit curious. Seeing her looking at him silently, he had to ask, "Is that it? Anything else?"
"Anything else? No, that’s it!" Yurong widened her eyes a bit in confusion.
Li Yan was caught between laughter and tears. "You’re making such a big deal of this, even going so far as to stop eating, just for such a trivial matter? Although their idea is a bit silly, you are being way too unruly, without considering your parents’ feelings at all!"
Being criticized by Li Yan, Yurong lowered her head and mumbled an explanation, "Going away for several months! It’s labeled as a vacation but essentially going into hiding, where’s the joy in that? And you couldn’t possibly co with , being apart from you..."
Li Yan helplessly advised, "You really should discuss this well. At this point, opposing your parents will only make them more anxious. Besides, even if you’re at ho, you can’t see every day; what difference does it make to be apart?"
Yurong looked up at him, "Of course it’s different! Even if I don’t see you for a day or two now, I still have a chance to see you within a week. But if I go to Celestial Continent, it’s different, don’t forget, it’s only been less than a month since you reminded us about our relationship. You only have that little bit of affection for ..."
She extended her thumb and index finger, showing a few milliters of space with a look of grievance.
"...If I don’t see you for a few months, you’d definitely forget about . Plenty of ti for you to get involved with other girls, and what would I do but cry when I return?"
Seeing her in this state and hearing her sowhat silly words, Li Yan found it hard to imagine this was the sa Yurong he t at first. No wonder they say a woman loses her mind once she’s in love. This genuine affection also made it hard for him not to be moved.
"Yurong, actually..."
Hearing Li Yan’s gentle words, Yurong panicked a bit and hurriedly interrupted, "I know what you want to say. I’m much younger than you, I have many wealthy friends, and I might et a really great guy in the future, but I’ve already fallen for you! I don’t care if you see as a child, a little sister, or a clingy and annoying rich girl, nor do I care if you think I’m acting out of rebellion, admiration, or gratitude...
I don’t care at all! I just know I like you, you’ve changed , you’ve made feel my own existence, life’s aning, and my goals in life..."
Seeing her get more earnest and emotional with every word, Li Yan was touched but also a bit nervous, fearing she’d continue with lines like ’you’re the electricity, you’re the light, you’re the only myth, I love only you...’
In a mont of passion, Yurong, usually obedient in front of Li Yan, boldly looked at him and continued expressing her feelings: "...My life used to be boring to death. My dad, because of his work, and my mom’s career is rooted here, so she couldn’t really move with him. Growing up with my mom here, I seldom saw my father, and my mom wasn’t ho often either.
Finally, my mom’s career hit a high, and I grew up... Even then, family gatherings were still pitifully rare!"
Yurong glanced around, smiling self-deprecatingly, "Look, this house is so spacious and beautiful, just imagine how expensive it is in the high-priced S city. But having money isn’t everything. Many of my friends envy and think I should be happier than them. Huh... You see, we hired people from all walks of life, making it seem like a vibrant big family, yet as the master, my mom is a globetrotter, a citizen of the world! What’s left for to enjoy all alone? That’s why after entering university, I moved to the school dormitory and liked it there more."
This was no longer just about their relationship; having an outburst point had already triggered Yurong’s dissatisfaction with her family and parents, and Li Yan nodded, listening, allowing her to vent.
"Live in the best house, drive the best car, go to the best school, wear the best clothes, buy the most brand nas... Whatever I want, materially, my mom can always fulfill any wish I have, as if I’m a princess who can get anything. This seems to be the kind of life many girls envy, but what I truly want is so extravagant, they can’t give any more at all.
You can imagine, my growth environnt dictated that my classmates and friends mostly ca from similar backgrounds, and we often shared one sentint—boredom! Boredom to the extre, so we would think of doing increasingly outrageous things that might be seen as stupid, obnoxious, or cruel to others, just to seek thrills. Just like when we first t, driving crazily and deliberately hitting you, then a crowd gathered to make trouble."
Yurong laughed a bit as she spoke, "Li Yan, at that ti, did you think my skills were good? Actually, it’s not because of good skills; I didn’t care if I got hurt at all! In my heart, if I got injured, perhaps they’d visit and accompany a little more, squeezing those pathetic two hours for between work! None of us in the group lacked money; we were just using such boring things to kill our ennui. Boring, isn’t it?"
Seeing her vent years of accumulated resentnt, Li Yan also wanted to guide her and jokingly exaggerated, "That’s just a bit cliché. Hearing it from cute Yurong, I don’t find it boring. What’s next? Is it the handso, dashing, charming, trendsetting, angelic Li Yan coming to save you?"
Yurong, who had been speaking with a low spirit, found it amusing hearing him speak like this, "Yes, yes, yes! You’re the hero sent by heaven to rescue , but unfortunately, you didn’t co with seven-colored clouds nor riding a white horse. When we first t, you bullied my friends, and I was forced to apologize, almost crying from anger. The second ti was even worse, taken directly to the hotel for harassnt..."
"Hey! Although you’re having a grievance eting, you can’t twist the truth. Clearly, I’m the pure and innocent good person who was bewitched by you and taken to the hotel. Seems like I was the one treated indecently!"
Yurong chuckled at Li Yan’s protest, "Hey hey, don’t forget I have evidence for it."
"Show it then!"
"Uh..." Yurong, unable to argue with him, rolled her eyes at him and said seriously, "I managed to muster up the courage to confess, and you interrupt , now I don’t know where to continue."
"Don’t speak nonsense! That was later; at that ti, I just wanted revenge, but you sched against instead. I was very angry, yet I couldn’t handle you. I’m just a weak girl bullied by a big man like you, absolutely unable to resist. Back then, I even attempted to annoy you on purpose, hoping you’d get fed up. But unexpectedly, right after stepping out, I got into a car accident. When that taxi hit , I thought I was about to die. I was thinking—I still..."
Yurong quickly glanced at him, her face blushing slightly. Though he already knew her innermost thoughts, she was too embarrassed to say it, turning her words instead, "...I haven’t even dated anyone yet, dying like this would be too unfair! In the next life, King Yama might make a man. So, I kind of had a last wish, hoping if soone could save , I’d consider... liking him, giving in to him..."
Li Yan finally understood, realizing that during that mont, he’d already influenced the young girl in front of him. It seems that girls who lack parental love growing up have an even stronger desire to be protected. Helping others turns out to be both a source of joy and trouble. Saving Yurong, she fell for ; helping Hai Fu led to drinks and, well, that; helping Chen Xiaoen, she seems to care quite a bit for ; I also helped Huang Ying, and today helped Jiang Lele. They wouldn’t be this superficial, right?
He wondered in his mind, it seed he’d also helped Zhang Yurong quite a bit, but why didn’t he see her falling for him or offering herself to him? President Zhang, you could afford to be a little superficial too.
