The next day, the morning sunlight streamed gently into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Meng Yanchen slowly opened his eyes, feeling a bit dizzy and his whole body reeking of alcohol.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Tang Yu, who had already gotten up and was sitting by the window, engrossed in playing a game.

A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on Meng Yanchen's lips. He stood up and wanted to reach out and hug the other person.

As if she had eyes in the back of her head, Tang Yu turned around quickly, her eyes showing a hint of disdain.

"Don't touch me, you reek of alcohol. Go take a shower first!"

Meng Yanchen was slightly taken aback, then his face showed an apologetic expression, and he said softly, "I'm sorry, you were tired last night. Where did you rest?"

Tang Yu rolled her eyes at him and gestured towards the large sofa next to her.

"Didn't you see this huge sofa? Did you think I'd sleep in the same bed as you?"

Hearing Tang Yu's slightly disdainful words, Meng Yanchen was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled broadly and apologized in a flattering manner.

"I was wrong, I won't do it again!"

Looking at the other person's fawning expression, Tang Yu suddenly smiled meaningfully, a sly glint in her eyes.

"If you're happy and want to drink, that's fine; if you're feeling down and want to drink, that's also fine, but you have to ensure your own safety!"

When you're drunk, you use your smoky eyes to seduce people, you know? I'm afraid you'll get sexually assaulted someday!

These words made Meng Yanchen burst into uncontrollable laughter. He immediately lowered his head and insisted on giving him a kiss.

"You're the one trying to seduce me!"

After the kiss, Meng Yanchen strode quickly toward the bathroom.

While taking a shower, Tang Yu heard Meng Yanchen laughing louder and louder from outside the door.

Is this guy really that happy?

Tang Yu shook his head helplessly, then continued to focus on playing the game.

When Meng Yanchen finished showering and came out wearing a bathrobe with his hair still wet, Tang Yu handed him his phone.

"I don't know who the other missed calls were from, but your sister Xu Qin called last night, wanting to invite you to dinner..."

Meng Yanchen wiped the water droplets from his hair with his hand, took the phone, and looked down at the missed calls.

Seeing this, Tang Yu pressed Meng Yanchen down onto the sofa, then picked up a hairdryer and gently dried Meng Yanchen's hair.

While replying to a barrage of messages to his clients and staff on his phone, Meng Yanchen was enjoying the tender moment when Tang Yu was blow-drying his hair.

In no time, Meng Yanchen's hair was almost completely dry.

At this moment, Meng Yanchen looked up at Tang Yu and asked, "Would you like to have this meal with me?"

"Who?" Tang Yu asked instinctively, pausing her hand on the hairdryer.

"It's Xu Qin. When she first went abroad, I called her a few times to check on her, but she didn't really respond."

Perhaps it's because I scolded her before she went abroad, telling her not to pursue a decadent kind of freedom, that she started to dislike me, her older brother.

Now you're suddenly willing to ask me out to dinner, I wonder if you've changed your mind. Will you come with me?

Tang Yu had already dried her hair, and she put the hairdryer down.

Then, like a lazy kitten, she gently reached out from behind and wrapped her arms around Meng Yanchen's neck, pressing her whole body against his broad back.

She lowered her head slightly, her soft hair brushing against Meng Yanchen's cheek, her warm lips close to his ear, and asked with a smile.

"What, are you asking me to formally meet your family?"

Meng Yanchen felt the warmth on his neck, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. He gently held Tang Yu's hands that were resting in front of him, and the warmth of their palms mingled together.

Then, he turned his head and placed a gentle kiss on Tang Yu's cheek.

"Xu Qin is my sister. Whether she is satisfied or not is not important to me."

I just don't want to be apart from you, so I wanted you to have this meal with me. As for my parents..."

Meng Yanchen paused slightly as he spoke, then raised Tang Yu's hand to his lips and kissed it.

“They have a strong desire to control my life, and I’m not sure if they will bless us.”

However, please don't take this to heart. I'm an adult now and have the right to make my own decisions about my life.

Tang Yu laughed as she leaned against Meng Yanchen's back, gently wrapping her arms around his neck, and said firmly.

"Don't be nervous, I know your parents' situation."

For me, my aunt and uncle's dislike doesn't affect me; only your hesitation and retreat will make me give you up!

These words made Meng Yanchen tense up instantly. He slowly turned around, placed his hands on either side of the sofa, and gently pressed Tang Yu down onto the soft sofa.

Tang Yu looked at the person pressing down on her so close, her eyes sparkling with amusement, and a slight upturn of her lips as she teased, "What, want to kiss me?"

Meng Yanchen lowered his head and slowly approached, his warm breath caressing Tang Yu's lips. His lips seemed to touch but not quite, carrying a hint of longing, and his voice was deep and gentle.

“I will never back down or give up. If one day you hear such news, it may be that someone is lying to you. You must ask me yourself.”

Only what I say myself is true!

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around the back of Meng Yanchen's neck, then kissed his lips.

After the kiss ended, Tang Yu smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Do you think someone with your IQ would do something stupid? Do you think this is some melodramatic soap opera?"

I won't listen to you. I'm not that stupid to abandon you just because someone else tells me a lie!

Meng Yanchen chuckled softly, then pressed his forehead against Tang Yu's face, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Because for you, I can't afford to take even a fraction of a percent of the risk."

Seeing Meng Yanchen's appearance, Tang Yu smiled gently, hugged him, and kissed him, saying, "Don't be afraid."

After washing up, the two went out for breakfast.

Shortly after, Xiao Yixiao also called to say that he had gotten up.

Tang Yu smiled and whispered in Meng Yanchen's ear.

"Let's bring Xiao Yixiao along for dinner too, it'll be more lively."

Xiao Yixiao arrived and sat down opposite the two of them just as they were finishing breakfast.

"Don't you two want to be sweet together this morning? What are you doing up so early?"

Meng Yanchen glared at the other person and said, "Why do you talk so much?"

Xiao Yixiao didn't care at all and even winked at Tang Yu.

"To be honest, is Meng Yanchen secretly a pervert?"

Tang Yu smiled slyly, then grasped Meng Yanchen's hand and spoke.

"A repressed pervert? He's completely innocent! Compared to me, he's the pure and innocent little rabbit."

As she spoke, Tang Yu deliberately winked at Meng Yanchen, whose lips twitched slightly, his face full of helplessness.

Xiao Yixiao laughed so hard he almost spat out the milk he had just drunk.

Chapter 21 Meng Yanchen 21

The meeting with Xu Qin was scheduled for that evening.

After they met, Xiao Yixiao gave Xu Qin a warm hug.

Xu Qin felt a little embarrassed, not expecting so many people to come.

After everyone sat down to eat, the atmosphere was quite lively thanks to Xiao Yixiao's witty remarks.

Xu Qin also talked about her student life in the United States, which made it a pleasant dinner.

As dinner was nearing its end, Xu Qin saw Tang Yu go to the restroom and spoke to Meng Yanchen.

"Brother, there's something I want to talk to you about in private."

Xiao Yixiao was quick-witted. Upon seeing this, he immediately stood up with a smile, his face full of just the right amount of laughter.

"Alright, I'll go pay the bill. You two siblings can have a good chat here."

Only after Xiao Yixiao's figure disappeared into the distance did Xu Qin take a deep breath and speak first.

"Brother, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with, but I hope you won't tell Mom and Dad."

Meng Yanchen nodded, signaling Xu Qin to continue.

"No matter what you say now, I won't tell Mom and Dad."

"I want to switch my major to medicine, but my mom wouldn't let me do it before. Can you help me, brother?"

Xu Qin's words carried a hint of pleading, her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of expectation.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yanchen's face flashed with shock. He looked his sister up and down, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Xu Qin, have you forgotten what you did in China? Your mother took you to see a psychologist later. You have mild depression and sometimes need to take medication to control your condition."

Don't you know you'll experience symptoms after taking the medication? You can't even control your own body; do you want to kill someone by becoming a doctor?

Upon hearing this, Xu Qin's face turned deathly pale, and she looked directly at Meng Yanchen with hurt eyes.

"Brother, how did you become like this? You used to give me whatever I wanted. All I wanted was to study medicine. Why won't you even help me with this little thing?"

Yes, I did have mild depression, but I'm better now, aren't I? Why are you immediately labeling me a murderer!

Meng Yanchen subconsciously raised his hand to rub his forehead. He felt a little tired, as he was discussing professional knowledge with Xu Qin.

Xu Qin was resentful that her older brother didn't care about his younger sister!

"Xu Qin, there are countless professions in this world, but you are really not suited to be a doctor."

Doctors bear the heavy responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded. If their mental state is unstable, it could really lead to disaster. I can't help them with that.

"Mom chose art history for you; it's easy and respectable. If you don't like it and want to change majors, that's fine, but studying medicine is absolutely out of the question."

The moment Meng Yanchen uttered those words, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, and the atmosphere turned extremely cold.
