Huang Xiaochuan handed the taxi driver a fifty-yuan note and instructed him, "Sir, please take my classmate to East China Normal University. Here's the fare; keep the change. I've noted down your license plate number. That's all. Be careful on the road."

Ren Yangyang was disheartened and insisted on going back on her own. She didn't want to participate in the dinner activity anymore, but Huang Xiaochuan couldn't let her leave like that. What if something went wrong?

So, under Huang Xiaochuan's strong persuasion, Ren Yangyang compromised and listened to Huang Xiaochuan's arrangement. Huang Xiaochuan took her to the gate of Hudan University and helped her flag down a taxi to take her back to school.

In the taxi, Ren Yangyang felt sorry for her best friend and was struggling with how to tell her about it.

Watching the taxi gradually disappear from his sight, Huang Xiaochuan shook his head and then turned to meet up with Yu Wei and Tang Yuan.

When Yu Wei saw Huang Xiaochuan return, he asked him, "What were you talking about? Why did Ren Yangyang leave?"

Huang Xiaochuan didn't hide anything from him, "She came to see me on behalf of Qin Yu, but I turned her away immediately. I told her to tell Qin Yu that I have someone I like and that she doesn't need to waste her time on me."

Yu Wei stared at Huang Xiaochuan for a long time, feeling somewhat incredulous: "Goodness! You don't like someone like Qin Yu, so you must like a celestial being?"

Huang Xiaochuan chuckled in response.

We can't tell this kid about his sister Yu Xiang yet; the time isn't right. We'll wait until we've won over his father-in-law and mother-in-law before letting him know, to avoid him causing trouble.

Tang Yuan heard their conversation clearly, and she couldn't help but become curious about the person Huang Xiaochuan liked.

However, Huang Xiaochuan refused to reveal any more information, it seems he's keeping it very confidential!

During dinner that evening, Huang Xiaochuan deliberately teased Yu Wei, constantly asking him how he changed his mind and submitted to Tang Yuan.

Yu Wei was absolutely unwilling to talk about this! Did he have no shame? Was he supposed to say that he had slept with this girl in a daze and had to take responsibility for it?

He said, feigning innocence, "I didn't realize how good my Tangyuan was at first, but then I discovered how wonderful it was! So why would I resist?"

Although Huang Xiaochuan didn't know the reason, based on his understanding of Yu Wei over the years, he was sure that Yu Wei was hiding something very important. But who cares! As long as the two of them can be together happily, he won't have to worry about it anymore.

Yu Wei, that idiot, probably doesn't know what his future father-in-law and brother-in-law do. The principal of his school is Tang Yuan's father's colleague, but they have different job responsibilities. Their principal has moved to an education position, but his father-in-law is still a leader in the General Administration of Customs.

Otherwise, Tang Yuan could be so unrestrained at school because she had a big tree supporting her!

Moreover, Tang Yuan's brother currently works at the Shanghai Customs and should be a section chief-level leader. In her previous life, she also received a lot of help from Tang Yuan's brother when she was doing foreign trade.

Of course, news of what Yu Wei and Tang Yuan did at school will soon reach the ears of his father-in-law and brother-in-law. Get ready for a storm!

However, this kid's future career will definitely go smoothly, and with his brother-in-law supporting him, he can already see the end of his life ahead of him. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he'll live a life of ease.

After dinner, Huang Xiaochuan saw the young couple off and then took a taxi back to school alone.

Lying in bed at night, I felt really bored. I kept thinking about Sister Xiang, but there wasn't a smartphone or anything like that around the time, otherwise we could have exchanged messages and poured our hearts out to each other. Now, I can only look at her photos to ease my longing.

At nine o'clock on the morning of September 30th, Master Liang arrived at the dormitory building as promised to pick up Huang Xiaochuan and take him back to Suzhou. This was agreed upon when his uncle came last time. Since there was no holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, they decided to pick up Huang Xiaochuan on Sunday the 30th to go home for dinner, as if to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.

So yesterday afternoon, the 29th, Huang Xiaochuan happened to have no classes. He rode his bicycle to a grocery store and bought some royal jelly oral liquid and American ginseng for his grandmother and aunt, as well as some local Shanghai snacks.

Huang Xiaochuan estimated that his eldest sister, Zeng Hong, probably wouldn't be coming back today, but his second sister, Zeng Xia, would definitely be there.

Sure enough, after getting in the car and setting off, A Liang said that he would also go to pick up his second sister Zeng Xia from her school to go home together. Just thinking about his second sister, who was very capable, made Huang Xiaochuan's ears start to hurt.

When the siblings arrived home at noon, their aunt and grandmother had already prepared a table full of dishes for them.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan knew to bring several bags of gifts to show his filial piety, Grandma and Aunt were overjoyed.

But then they both complained about Huang Xiaochuan's wasteful spending. Luckily, their elderly mother, Zeng Lijuan, didn't see this, otherwise she would definitely have scolded Huang Xiaochuan for being an ingrate. She had never received filial piety from her son, but her aunt had received it before her.

When his aunt asked about his college life, Huang Xiaochuan said, "Nothing special, just take care of yourself."

My aunt was particularly concerned about one question: "Are there many female classmates?"

"Definitely more, his school specializes in finance, so there are bound to be more girls!" Zeng Xia, whose understanding of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics was rather limited, blurted out the answer.

Upon hearing that there were many female classmates, the aunt immediately began to fantasize: "Little monkey, have you met anyone you like? You can make girlfriends in college. Don't worry about spending money; I'll give you some if you don't have any."

Grandma got excited too: "Xiao Chuan! Your aunt is right, you can start dating! Grandma has some money too."

Huang Xiaochuan quickly reassured his grandmother and aunt, "No, no, we don't need it yet. I promise I'll let you know when we do, okay?"

After Huang Xiaochuan's repeated assurances, his grandmother and aunt put the matter aside for the time being. However, they specifically instructed him not to miss the opportunity if he met someone suitable, and that if a deal was reached, he could bring the person back for his grandmother and aunt to see first.

Seeing how much her mother and grandmother favored her younger brother, Zeng Xia, the second sister couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"This is sexism!"

Who knew that her aunt's words would bring her back to reality.

"I'd like to be less sexist, but why don't you find a boyfriend and bring him home? I've already prepared the red envelope, but nobody's giving me the chance!"

Zeng Xia retorted, "My older sister hasn't even talked to anyone yet, why are you all watching me all day long?"

Upon hearing this, Auntie was furious: "Neither of you is any good! So-and-so has already brought her boyfriend home, and you two are still two single women! Aren't you ashamed?"

When Huang Xiaochuan heard his aunt making fun of his second sister Zeng Xia for being a bachelor, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zeng Xia, the second sister, was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she glared fiercely at Huang Xiaochuan.

These two older sisters are 21 this year. No matter what, this is still the countryside, and young people generally fall in love and get married at a relatively young age.

Many of my second sister's junior high school classmates, both male and female, are already married.

So it's normal for my aunt to be anxious, since the two of them are still in school. She's just urging them to find boyfriends as soon as possible, not to get married.

This is probably how it is for older people; once their children grow up, they start worrying about marriage.
