Luo Yuting leaned closer to Tang Xinxin, his breath filled with intense longing.

When their lips touched, in that instant,

It felt like an electric current was coursing through my body.

The defenses of reason crumbled under the surge of emotions.

He became completely immersed in it.

The kisses grew deeper and more passionate, almost to the point of being uncontrollable.

His lips parted slightly, and he breathed heavily.

His eyes burned with an intense possessiveness.

She murmured over and over again, "Xin Xin, you can't look at other men, you can only be mine."

His voice was deep and hoarse.

It was like a vow made from the depths of one's soul.

Tang Xinxin was overwhelmed by this surging tide of love, her mind went blank, and she could only subconsciously respond to him.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and her breathing became erratic.

Everything around became blurry.

Only Luo Yuting's figure and his passionate emotions occupied her entire world.

As the kiss continued, Luo Yuting's hand unconsciously slid down Tang Xinxin's arm, his movements filled with an uncontrollable urgency, and gradually he grabbed the edge of her skirt.

The moment his fingertips touched the fabric, it was as if another flame was ignited, making his movements increasingly uncontrollable.

Amidst the chaotic tide of emotions, Tang Xinxin's last shred of reason was suddenly awakened.

She sensed the situation spiraling out of control, and panic and shyness instantly overwhelmed her.

With all her might, she suddenly reached out and firmly pressed down on Luo Yuting's hand.

Her eyes were misty with shyness and nervousness, and her voice trembled slightly as she said sweetly, "Brother Yuting, let's go take a bath. We've been out all day and we're all dirty."

After saying that, she turned her face away shyly, not daring to look into Luo Yuting's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuting's body stiffened abruptly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly sobering him up a bit.

He looked at Tang Xinxin, at her flushed cheeks and flustered eyes, and his heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

How could he have almost done something to embarrass her in a moment of impulse?

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing and emotions, and slowly released his grip.

His voice carried a hint of guilt and tenderness:

"I'm sorry, Xin Xin, I was too impulsive."

As he spoke, he gently pulled Tang Xinxin into his arms.

He held her tightly, as if to convey his apology and protection through the hug.

After a long while, he released Tang Xinxin.

A doting smile appeared on her face as she said softly, "Okay, let's go take a shower. You go first, I'll wait for you outside."

Tang Xinxin nodded slightly, not daring to look up at him, hurriedly got up, grabbed her pajamas, and ran into the bathroom.

Luo Yuting stared at the closed bathroom door, raised his hand to his forehead, and felt a mix of emotions.

Reason told him that he had to be patient and wait until Xin Xin was more mature. But he was in the prime of his life, and Xin Xin's soft body was in his arms every day. To resist this temptation, he needed extraordinary willpower.

________________________________

In the days that followed,

Wu Qibai, full of energy, takes Luo Yuting and Tang Xinxin through the streets and alleys of Shanghai every day.

They strolled together through the bustling old streets.

Enjoy the unique street food;

Or, in a quiet park, amidst the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds, one can chat freely and happily.

Or you can go to Lujiazui, the business center, and experience the fast-paced life of Shanghai.

Time flies like an arrow, slipping away quietly amidst laughter and joy.

Before you knew it, the exciting moment of checking your scores arrived.

Tang Xinxin felt both nervous and expectant.

They sat together in front of the computer.

Eyes fixed on the screen,

My fingers trembled slightly as I prepared to click the search button.

The air seemed thick with tension.

Finally, the page refreshed.

Luo Yuting's results were the first thing that caught my eye.

The moment I saw the page,

Tang Xinxin's eyes widened first.

Then a scream erupted:

"My God, Luo Yuting, you're amazing!"

Wu Qibai couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

His face was filled with disbelief.

He then patted Luo Yuting's shoulder forcefully.

He shouted excitedly, "Bro! You've masked the score! That means you're the top scorer in the city or province!"

Luo Yuting himself was stunned.

His face, which was originally tense,

Gradually, it was replaced by surprise and relief.

All the efforts were rewarded perfectly at this moment.

Next, Tang Xinxin took a deep breath.

Try to calm yourself down.

Trembling, I clicked the mouse again.

Check your score.

The moment the results were displayed

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

But this feeling was quickly replaced by relief.

Although this score is not as high as Luo Yuting's.

But it still reached the first-tier university admission line.

Wu Qibai immediately came over and comforted her with a smile: "Little sister-in-law, this score is amazing! You can choose any good university. We'll choose a major carefully later."

Luo Yuting also encouraged her, "That's right, Xin Xin, you've always worked very hard, and you deserve this result. Let's fill out the college application together!"

Tang Xinxin was silent for a moment, then looked up at Luo Yuting.

Her eyes were full of seriousness and determination: "Brother Yuting, I know in my heart that your score is definitely much higher than mine. When filling out your college application, please don't choose the same school as me just because of me. I don't want to be an obstacle for you. You deserve to go to a more prestigious university and pursue higher dreams."

Luo Yuting paused slightly, his gaze softening yet firm as he looked at Tang Xinxin. After a moment of careful consideration, he slowly spoke:

“Xin Xin, in my heart, this isn’t about holding me back. You know what? My dream has never been simply to get into a top university, but to protect you for the rest of my life.”

He paused, then gently took Tang Xinxin's hand, his voice filled with undeniable affection:

"I've made up my mind. We'll walk this path together. No matter what happens, it won't change my decision. So, don't overthink it. Let's choose a place where we can both be happy and where we can both realize our dreams, okay?"

Luo Yuting's eyes shone with a burning light, a promise he made to Tang Xinxin.

As Tang Xinxin listened to Luo Yuting's affectionate words, her heart surged like a tide, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She knew that Luo Yuting's feelings for her were sincere and deep.

But reason told her,

We cannot jeopardize his bright future because of ourselves.

Deep down, she made a silent decision.

We must never become an obstacle in Luo Yuting's path forward.

In order to prevent Luo Yuting from discovering his thoughts

Tang Xinxin suppressed the turmoil in her heart and nodded slightly.

He forced a smile onto his face.

She understood that any hesitation or refusal at this moment would be disastrous.

All of these could trigger Luo Yuting's insistence.

She didn't want to put him in a dilemma.

Just then, Tang Xinxin's phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed Gu Qianqian.

She composed herself, calmed her emotions, and pressed the answer button.

"Xinxin, what score did you get on the test?!"

Gu Qianqian's urgent and excited voice came through the receiver instantly.

Tang Xinxin pursed her lips slightly and announced her score.

"Sis! We have similar scores, so we should be able to go to the same school! Which school do you want to apply to?"

Gu Qianqian's voice unconsciously rose several decibels due to her excitement.

Tang Xinxin thought about it for a moment. Although she had already made up her mind, she knew that she could not easily reveal it at this moment.

If Luo Yuting were to find out by accident, it would definitely affect his choice.

"Sisi, congratulations! I haven't decided yet. Let's discuss it properly when we get back."

She tried to make her tone sound relaxed and natural.

It is unbiased.

"How did Pei Yi do on the exam?" Tang Xinxin asked casually.

When Pei Yi was mentioned, Gu Qianqian on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, followed by a sigh.

"It seems Pei Yi's family has arranged for him to study abroad. Sigh. We might have to be in a long-distance relationship."

Gu Qianqian's voice was full of disappointment and helplessness.

"Xixi, you should be happy. Pei Yi will become more and more outstanding. I believe that even though you are not together, you will meet during the holidays."

Tang Xinxin gently comforted him, her eyes unconsciously glancing at Luo Yuting as she spoke.

Her gaze held a complex emotion.

She knew full well that the future was full of uncertainties.

Just like the separation Gu Qianqian and Pei Yi faced,

And she and Luo Yuting are also standing at a crossroads in their lives.

They are facing a major decision.

In Tang Xinxin's eyes, Luo Yuting was like a bright moon surrounded by dazzling starlight.

Born to soar to the distant galaxy,

Go and embrace that vast sky that belongs to him alone.

He has unlimited potential.

Enough to roam freely in a wider world.

Pursue higher and farther dreams.

How could she bear to become a shackle that binds him from soaring through the skies?

We must never let ourselves influence his choices on his path forward.

Even though my heart is full of longing and reluctance,

She also secretly made up her mind.

Use your own way.

Silently watching over his promising future.

I need to return to Beijing in a few days to fill out my college application.

Luo Yuting was thinking about his grandfather.

I've decided to go back to my old house a few days earlier to spend more time with my parents.

On the day I returned to the Luo residence, sunlight filtered through the dappled leaves.

A golden carpet was scattered across the ground.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard are still lush and green.

The familiar scenery filled Luo Yuting with warmth.

As soon as I stepped into the house,

The butler greeted him with a smile.

She warmly took the luggage from his hands.

By this time, Grandpa Luo had already heard the news of his grandson and Xinxin's return.

He was sitting in the living room, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.

Grandpa Luo has been closely following the developments of the college entrance examination.

I also know that the scores have just been released.

I heard Wu Qibai say that

His grandson, Luo Yuting, is very likely to be the top scholar in the capital.

In his mind, Luo Yuting had been exceptionally intelligent since childhood.

To achieve such outstanding results now

Their future is undoubtedly limitless.

While Tang Xinxin went to her room to pack her luggage,

Grandpa Luo summoned Luo Yuting to his study.

In the study,

Grandpa Luo calmly picked up his teacup.

He took a small sip and asked, seemingly casually:

"Ting'er, the scores are out now. I heard from outside that you might be the top scorer in the province. With your grades, have you considered studying abroad? There are many top universities abroad, which would surely be very beneficial to your future development."

Luo Yuting was slightly taken aback, but then he understood his grandfather's good intentions.

He sat up straight, his face showing a respectful expression.

His tone, however, was very firm:

“Grandpa, I am very grateful for your consideration. However, after careful consideration, I have decided to decline the offer to study abroad. I have lived in China for so many years and am already used to everything here. The learning environment and living atmosphere are more suitable for me. Moreover, the educational resources in China are now excellent, and I believe that I can realize my dreams in China.”

Grandpa Luo raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze sharp as he looked at his grandson.

It seemed as if they wanted to find a deeper reason in his eyes.

In fact, regarding Luo Yuting's feelings,

As someone who has been through it all, Old Master Luo

How could one not understand?

Anyone with eyes can see that

This child made this choice because of Tang Xinxin.

He was deeply moved by his grandson's affection.

And there was a slight worry.

She worried that matters of the heart would affect Luo Yuting's promising future.

But looking at Luo Yuting's determined eyes,

In the end, Old Master Luo swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He simply sighed softly and patted Luo Yuting on the shoulder.

He said, "Alright, alright, as long as you think it through and don't regret it."

Far away in the bustling capital,

After Tang Yaotian learned about his daughter Tang Xinxin's college entrance examination scores...

He was filled with relief and joy.

He has always been extremely concerned about his daughter's studies.

Upon learning the results,

Naturally, they were eager to pave a smooth path for her future.

As a father, Tang Yaotian's heart and eyes are filled with love for his daughter.

How could he bear to let his precious daughter leave her hometown and suffer in a faraway place?

In his heart, his daughter should be able to spend her wonderful college years peacefully under his protection.

Moreover, the capital city is home to many prestigious universities across China, which not only have top-notch faculty but also abundant academic resources and broad development platforms.

Tang Yaotian knew that by studying in such an environment, Tang Xinxin could receive the best education and lay a solid foundation for her future life.

After careful consideration, Tang Yaotian dialed his daughter Tang Xinxin's number.

As soon as the call connected, his daughter's cheerful voice came through the other end. Tang Yaotian couldn't help but smile indulgently and asked, "Xinxin, how have you been with Yuting these past few days? When are you planning to come back? Is it almost time to fill out college applications?"

"Dad, we had so much fun! We're heading back the day after tomorrow, and the day after that is when we fill out our college applications."

Tang Xinxin was packing her luggage while answering the phone.

"Xinxin, do you have a school you like?"

Tang Yaotian sat up slightly, his eyes full of concern.

"Dad, I haven't completely thought it through yet."

Tang Xinxin pursed her lips, her tone deliberately light.

In fact, she had already made up her mind and was determined to apply to the design department of Beijing University.

But she was terrified that once she announced this decision...

Luo Yuting would not hesitate to give up those better options for her.

Tang Yaotian sighed softly, carefully considering his words.

He said slowly, "Xin Xin, you have to understand, the universities in the capital are all top-notch. If you go to university and want to try being independent and enjoy a free life, Dad completely agrees to you living off-campus. Dad is planning to buy you a house near your school. We don't need to go to another city to suffer, right?"

After going around in circles, Tang Yaotian finally voiced the thoughts that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

"Okay, Dad, thank you so much! Actually, I was also thinking of going to university in Beijing."

Tang Xinxin responded obediently.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. She

Understanding his father's good intentions,

She also knew that her father was afraid she would suffer in an unfamiliar city.
