Returning to '97, creating a new life

Xu Kai served as the mascot for two and a half days.

Yun Dongbai and Wu Huiru had arranged their work and accompanied the students throughout the college entrance examination, providing logistical support.

Like all parents, they do everything themselves; the only thing they don't need to do is prepare themselves mentally.

As long as Xu Kai is there, Yunshang is full of motivation and doesn't need any psychological support.

Xu Kai didn't need to do anything; he was content to be his mascot, eating with Yunshang and not leaving until it was her bedtime.

After finishing her last exam, English, Yunshang had no desire to check the answers. As she left the school where she had taken the exam, she saw her parents, brother, and Xu Kai. She threw her pencil case and exam supplies aside and, no longer needing to suppress her emotions, threw herself into Xu Kai's arms.

Yun Dongbai and Wu Huiru gave a bitter smile and sighed inwardly. All their previous teachings and suppression of their daughter no longer had any binding force at this moment. Their daughter had grown up, and at this moment, they had the thought of letting go. It was beyond their control and no longer subject to their will.

From the perspective of age and academics, they can no longer restrain their daughter. This is the bittersweet feeling that comes from the hearts of all parents after their daughter has come of age.

My precious child, whom I've raised for nineteen years, a treasure from the palm of my hand, a little cabbage I've carefully nurtured, is now going to be taken by someone else.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to get my hair dyed..."

Yun Dongbai could only drive his wife to work, while he himself returned to work at the law firm. Yun Sheng, standing to the side, shrugged. He was forced to come here and knew what kind of state his sister was in. His role as an accompaniment to the exam was not even mascot; it was just an act to prevent his parents from disliking him.

No, it also serves a purpose: to bring over his sister's bank card and some money he had prepared for her exams as her older brother, and then hand it to her at this time.

"You'll stay with me, right?" Yunshang looked at Xu Kai, who smiled gently: "No, starting today, it's your turn to stay with me."

Yunshang smiled broadly: "Okay, little Kai, from now on, be a good boy and listen to me, and I'll take good care of you..."

"Then can you not go home tonight?"

One kick.

Xu Kai was just joking, saying he'd endured it for so long: "Actually, some things don't necessarily have to be done at night."

Another kick.

After kicking him, Yunshang smiled and took his arm, acting all confident and uninhibited. Now that no one could control her anymore, she deliberately rubbed against him, saying, "How about paying some interest first?"

Xu Kai chuckled sheepishly, even wiggling his arm and squeezing it: "Okay."

Yunshang patted his shoulder. In their private interactions, this was nothing out of the ordinary. Right now, they were just enjoying their unrestrained and passionate love.

Yunshang had a well-established hair management plan, including dyeing and perming. Not only that, she also guided the hairstylist to give Xu Kai's buzz cut a more avant-garde makeover. Even with Xu Kai's forward-thinking perspective, he had to admit that Yunshang was indeed top-notch in terms of aesthetics.

"Wash his hair and give him a massage."

After the haircut, Yunshang had the shop's assistant wash Xu Kaigan's hair and massage him from head to neck and shoulders. It wasn't a standard five or ten yuan massage; she massaged him until he felt comfortable.

Yunshang knew some of Xu Kai's habits; this guy knew how to enjoy life.

Many of the young assistants and apprentices in the shop were looking at the perfect couple; the woman was beautiful and the man was handsome.

The man was willing to accompany his girlfriend to get her hair done, and didn't mind the long wait.

A woman can make her boyfriend's company less unbearable by taking his feelings into full consideration and arranging some activities for him to do at the store to pass the time.

Fingernails scraped across his scalp, fingertips massaged his head, and then there were some simple techniques to massage his neck and shoulders. Although it wasn't a completely relaxing experience lying down, and he had to sit, it was better than nothing. Xu Kai closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort that money could buy.

Yunshang finished styling her hair and was getting it permed in the machine. She then sat down next to Xu Kai, took nail clippers, and carefully trimmed Xu Kai's nails, using the salon's nail file to shape them to the most comfortable state.

This scene once again drew envy from everyone in the room.

Xu Kai, feeling refreshed after the massage, sat down next to Yun Shang to keep her company. It was Yun Shang's turn to act coquettishly, even though her appearance and temperament seemed out of place, she did it anyway.

"I want an iced cola, and I want potato chips."

Xu Kai didn't hesitate at all. He smiled indulgently, got up, and went outside to buy it.

"I like to drink Pepsi."

"Um?"

"Pepsi is heresy, of course it's delicious."

Xu Kai likes Coca-Cola, so Yunshang follows his taste.

While shopping, Yunshang didn't get her nails done because she knew Xu Kai would accompany her, but he would be bored.

They didn't go on a shopping spree; instead, the two bought a pair of matching sunglasses, and Yunshang bought a pair of beautiful platinum earrings.

Xu Kai picked out a gold bracelet for her at the jewelry store.

White sneakers, short white socks, and capri pants that just expose the ankles, with a sparkly bracelet worn on top, transforming into an anklet, which is a perfect finishing touch, adding a touch of playfulness to Yunshang's extremely aggressive image.

Yunshang was delighted and immediately gave him a sweet kiss.

Gifts aren't important; what matters is that a man is willing to put in the effort to appreciate your beauty and has the ability to match your aesthetic sense, making your shopping experience even more enjoyable.

Boyfriend power is also important at this time. Happy Yunshang jumped onto Xu Kai's back and let him carry her so that her feet would stick out in front, making the bracelet on her ankle more visible and allowing more passersby to see it.

Given Xu Kai's current physical condition, carrying Yunshang on his back is no problem at all. He can put his hands under her knees and carry her steadily, walking through the mall without any pressure.

There was still some time before Yunshang met with her classmates, so the two found a blind massage parlor and enjoyed an hour of full-body health massage.

After the exams, all the senior high school students, except for a very few who were saddened by their exam results, were having a great time.

The math exam on the second day brought many people to tears, but by the afternoon of the third day, that was all in the past and nothing could be changed. Before the results came out, I wanted to play to my heart's content and make up for all the fun I had missed over the past few years.

Manual grading takes at least a month, during which time students can play around without considering their grades.

Everyone knew Xu Kai and was not surprised by his arrival. They had their own thoughts but dared not speak them, as the boss's authority was still there.

Eating and drinking.

Singing karaoke, letting loose and having a blast.

At 11:30, Xu Kai brought Yunshang out. He rejected the suggestion of singing karaoke to her, insisting on taking her home before midnight.

"I'll pick you up first thing tomorrow morning. Listen to me. This isn't just for show for our parents; it's about helping them gradually accept things at this stage."

"Um."

Yunshang, who was already a little drunk, had excellent manners. Her face was flushed, her eyes were squinted, and she looked adorable. She nodded, looking like she would do whatever he said. After getting into the car, she leaned over and swayed her arm as Xu Kai adjusted the gear shift. Sometimes Xu Kai was worried that she would fall.

The lights were on in the Yun family's living room. Yun Dongbai was organizing case files for the upcoming case, while Wu Huiru was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, reading medical literature by the light of the bedside lamp.

Yun Sheng was also at home, though he didn't want to be. That evening, his mother called and ordered him to come home.

He didn't dare to sleep or close the door when he got home. He played computer games in his room but didn't dare to turn on the sound. He waited anxiously, knowing that once it was past midnight, he would immediately receive a new mission. He would do everything in his power to find out where his sister was, what her condition was, and even possibly bring her home, which might be an impossible mission.

Upon hearing the sound of the security door key turning, and knowing that the room closest to the door belonged to Yun Sheng, he immediately got up and quickly walked towards the door.

During the process, he glanced at the living room and met Yun Dongbai's eyes. Yun Sheng suppressed his laughter. He had to suppress it. He had always been like this since he was a child. Otherwise, no one would pity him.

Seeing Xu Kai bring his sister back, Yun Sheng secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" With Yunshang's shouts, Wu Huiru came out of the room, took her daughter from Xu Kai's arms, and helped her into the house to change clothes.

She turned around, looked at Xu Kai, and gave him an approving smile.

Yun Dongbai patted Xu Kai's hand on the outside of his upper arm, then glanced at his son. Yun Sheng immediately brought out the cut fruit.

"Uncle, it's too late, I won't sit here. I'll come pick her up tomorrow morning."

"Okay. Yun Sheng, see them off."

This isn't being delivered to the door, it's being delivered downstairs.

It was summer, so he was wearing slippers, beach shorts, and a tank top. Yun Sheng followed Xu Kai downstairs, took out a cigarette, and offered one to Xu Kai.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Xu Kai took the cigarette from him.

"Your performance tonight earned you a lot of points with my parents."

Xu Kai nodded in acceptance of Yun Sheng's kindness.

When Yun Sheng went upstairs to his home, he heard his younger sister humming a song as she stood in front of the bathroom sink, washing her face.

Ok?

Depend on!

Yun Sheng felt that he had gone to great lengths. From childhood to adulthood, he had never had any authority as an older brother in front of his younger sister. It wasn't that he was unreliable or that his sister was disrespectful; it was simply that his sister had overwhelmed him in many ways.

Look at the present.

The mother was chatting with her younger sister at the bathroom door.

"Mom, you can rest assured now. Your daughter's choice of man is spot on. Don't misunderstand, pretending to be drunk wasn't a test for him; I was giving him a chance..."

Wu Huiru slapped her daughter: "Nonsense! What are you thinking? How old is he?"

Yun Sheng quickly returned to his room. What kind of outrageous words were these? How old was he? That guy knew more than he did.

Needless to say, he's given a chance. If he wanted to, he could create one even if there wasn't one. It's just that he's behaving this way because of respect.
