"You're using my tired joke!"

After the start of the new school year, it's back to the hectic study life.

After Tang Yu got Meng Yanchen's help, her school life became incredibly exciting. She secretly read novels every day right under the teacher's nose.

Chinese, English, history, politics, geography—all of these are a piece of cake for her.

The only slightly difficult subject, mathematics, has already been mastered, so who would want to study it diligently?

I read novels with all my might.

Meng Yanchen found studying humanities very easy, so he secretly read a few of Tang Yu's novels.

Surrounded by a bunch of unserious people, he finds it really hard to be serious.

After reading the novel version of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Meng Yanchen asked questions earnestly.

Do you like Yang Guo?

"I don't like him. I think he's full of bitterness and resentment. Although he gets better later on, his personality is really unlikable in the early stages."

"What about Guo Jing?" Meng Yanchen pressed.

Seeing Meng Yanchen's serious gaze, Tang Yu smiled.

"You're not trying to find out what kind of guy I like, are you?"

"I don't need to ask about that, you like good-looking people."

Tang Yu blinked her beautiful eyes, then patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Young man, you're quite perceptive! That's why I'm not a fan of Guo Jing; he wasn't even described as handsome in the novel!"

"So, which character from martial arts novels do you like?"

"I like Hua Manlou. Don't you think he's very charming?"

Meng Yanchen nodded thoughtfully, and Xiao Qi in Tang Yu's mind spoke.

"Hua Manlou was one of your former husbands. Your tastes really haven't changed."

Tang Yu had long been used to being calm in the face of Xiao Qi's occasional complaints.

However, the revelation of her past still surprised her.

She has such a rich life experience.

Looking at Tang Yu's smiling face, Meng Yanchen couldn't help but investigate.

"Why are you suddenly laughing so happily, like you've won five million?"

"Because the world is a beautiful place!"

The days passed quietly amidst these banter and jokes, and time slowly brought us to the second year of high school.

That summer, the sun was like a giant fireball, scorching the earth, and the classroom was as stuffy as a steamer.

After lunch break, the students returned to their classrooms one after another.

As Tang Yu walked down the corridor, he was excitedly talking to the girl next to him about the novel he had recently been reading when his ears suddenly twitched.

A series of shrill screams came from ahead.

Tang Yu's heart tightened, and a bad premonition surged into her mind. Without hesitation, she rushed over as fast as she could.

A boy was seen punching and kicking a girl violently. The girl was curled up on the ground, her face full of pain. People around her screamed in fright, and chaos ensued.

Several burly boys tried to stop the other boy, but the crazed boy suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist, brandished it, and roared madly.

"If you dare to move forward again, I'll kill you all! I'm going to deal with this bitch, and nobody's allowed to come any closer!"

Tang Yu felt that the boy in front of her had his features distorted with anger, making him look ferocious and terrifying, and he exuded a strong aura of violence.

Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed forward with lightning speed. Before anyone could even see her movements clearly, she kicked away the knife the boy was holding with incredible speed.

She then kicked the boy to the ground and began punching and kicking him.

Meng Yanchen and Xiao Yixiao rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

When they saw the scene before them, the crazed boy had been beaten by Tang Yu to the point that he could no longer utter a curse and could only look at Tang Yu with resentful eyes.

Just then, the teacher and security guard arrived at the scene.

Tang Yu clapped her hands, signaling the teachers to take the person away.

Not long after, the police arrived. Tang Yu cooperated with the police to give a statement. By the time she returned to school, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun had dyed the entire campus orange-red.

As soon as she entered the classroom, a group of students cheered and shouted, "Heroine, please accept our bow! You're so cool!"

Caught up in the enthusiastic atmosphere, Tang Yu raised his fists in perfect compliance and said in a serious tone, "No, no, it is our duty to vanquish demons and monsters."

"Does the female knight-errant accept disciples?" someone asked loudly, straining their neck.

Tang Yu spoke with a smile.

"As your master, I am willing to take on disciples, but unfortunately, our sect is now only left with the martial arts manual, the Sunflower Manual. I wonder if anyone is willing to inherit our mantle?"

Upon hearing this, the group burst into laughter and waved goodbye.

After everyone finished laughing, Tang Yu returned to her seat, and Meng Yanchen quietly took Tang Yu's hand under the table.

Tang Yu was slightly taken aback and said, "What are you doing? We're classmates."

Meng Yanchen stubbornly refused to let go, his voice so soft it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"I'm still a little scared. Just pretend my hand doesn't exist. If a female knight-errant is willing to go through fire and water to save a female classmate she doesn't know, why not save my panicked heart too?"

Chapter 7 Meng Yanchen 7

The next day, everyone at the school learned the reason for the vicious assault that had occurred the previous day.

The male classmate comes from a family with a history of hereditary mental illness. His parents' recent divorce has already affected him, and his girlfriend, seeing that his mental state was somewhat frightening, proposed breaking up with him.

So this guy went crazy and couldn't control himself.

Early in the morning, all teachers and students gathered on the playground for a morning meeting.

The grade head stood on the platform, looking serious, and spoke into the microphone with great enthusiasm.

"Students, puppy love is extremely harmful, and this incident is a painful lesson! Everyone must take this as a warning and focus on their studies!"

Tang Yu noticed the warning look from the grade head and the insistence on shaking hands with Meng Yanchen next to her, and she laughed and complained.

"You've been suppressed for too long, and you like this feeling of rebelling against authority, don't you?"

Meng Yanchen sometimes really wants to ask the people around him, "Aren't you embarrassed at all?"

He really wanted to secretly admire his classmate, but his deskmate was too smart and could see right through him no matter what he did.

"While Xiaolongnu is missing Yang Guo in the Valley of Heartbreak, all you do in the Valley of Heartbreak is think about is grabbing red envelopes all day long, right?"

Why be so subtle? Aren't you just saying I'm allergic to romance?

Tang Yu retorted with a smile, and as she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, seemingly unintentionally.

She lightly scratched Meng Yanchen's palm with her finger, a very subtle movement that the surrounding classmates did not notice at all.

Meng Yanchen's body tensed instantly, his face flushed red, and even his ears turned bright red.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Tang Yu with a gaze that was both shy and ambiguous, his eyes sparkling as if they held a thousand emotions.

Tang Yu's smile deepened as she looked at Meng Yanchen's appearance.

"Don't give me those flirty looks, I'm blind, I don't date young!"

Meng Yanchen lowered his head and immediately burst into laughter.

How can there be such a cute and interesting person?

After entering my senior year of high school, life suddenly became very stressful.

Tang Yudu has decided on his university major: history.

A nouveau riche second-generation, all he needs to do is browse Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).

Her parents lamented that many of their friends' children who studied abroad returned to start family businesses and invest in high-tech internet industries, only to lose all their family fortune!

I'm not afraid of rich kids indulging in food, drink, and entertainment; I'm afraid of rich kids with ambition.

Therefore, Tang Yu's parents felt that one didn't need to be too ambitious!

"Your parents are really open-minded; they don't put any pressure on you at all."

Meng Yanchen's tone carried a hint of envy. Tang Yu knew a little about Meng Yanchen's family situation, so she smiled and comforted him.

"My parents started out by collecting and recycling garbage. After accumulating enough capital, they started a professional metal processing plant."

Over the years, I've done a few other businesses here and there, but they've all been pretty mediocre.

They've come to terms with it; their current assets are enough for the whole family to live comfortably, and any further effort would only lead to them being scammed.

But you're different. Your parents' company is a business behemoth. Your sister's grades aren't as good as yours, so you're their only hope.

If you're not smarter and more capable, those capitalists will devour your family's assets, and you won't have the right to lie low!

At this point, Tang Yu sighed.

"So being content with a little wealth is also a kind of happiness, while having more money also brings its own set of troubles."

Given the size of Meng Yanchen's parents' company, which is worth hundreds of billions, if the heir is even slightly incompetent, the company will be emptied out.

Unless Meng Yanchen's parents sell all their shares and withdraw from the company's operation, and their son no longer participates in the company's operation.

Clearly, his parents weren't that open-minded.

"So do you think it's right for my parents to make me follow the path they've planned for me?"

Almost every young person experiences this kind of confusion: whether to embrace their dreams or compromise with reality and follow their parents' path.

"It's not a matter of right or wrong, because the experience of our parents can only lead us to follow the paths they are familiar with and that are safe. This may not necessarily bring happiness, but it can ensure that you suffer less!"

As for your dreams, since they haven't seen any real results, they can only be wishful thinking, and the possibility of failure is extremely high.

If you don't want to follow their path, you have to achieve greater things and prove that you can make a name for yourself without relying on them.
