Chapter 93
Qingxue seemed completely unaffected by the trials of adolescence, and whether that was a good thing or not was still up for debate...
Just moments ago, she had been bundled up in her blanket, her rosy little face peeking out, and her intimate clothing tossed aside...
“Wife, what are you grinning about?” Li Fu approached, noticing the coy smile on Li Mu's face, and couldn't help but ask.
“Why do you care? Just eat your meal.”
Li Fu inhaled sharply, looking at his wife, who was displaying a proud little woman’s demeanor, and felt a surge of confidence. He quickly followed her lead.
At that moment, Li Qingxue emerged from her room, now dressed in her pajamas.
After dinner, Li Mu cleared her throat. “Old Li, you wash the dishes. Xiaoxue, let’s watch some TV together.”
Li Qingxue, who was about to head back to her room, paused, nodded, and joined her mother in the living room to watch TV.
Before long!
Li Qingxue frowned slightly. “Mom, are you watching TV or watching me? I feel like I’m being influenced by you.”
“Xiaoxue has grown up; it’s time for her to think about dating,” Li Mu said, unsure how to guide her daughter, opting for a subtle approach. “But we girls must always keep our dignity.”
After school starts, Li Qingxue would be heading to Kyoto, far from home, and her parents wouldn’t always be there to protect her. She couldn’t let herself be deceived by bad boys.
Perhaps only those with daughters could truly understand this feeling.
“Mom, what are you talking about? I’m not even thinking about dating!” Li Qingxue felt a bit embarrassed at her mother’s words.
But this reaction left Li Mu feeling somewhat helpless. She had only just mentioned it, and look at how red Xiaoxue’s face was, as if she had already decided on a name for her future children.
“I’m not watching TV with you anymore.” With that, Li Qingxue returned to her room, feeling that her mom was acting a bit strange today.
And she felt... a little strange herself...
Lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling, she rolled over and opened her phone.
Li Qingxue loved to post updates.
She remembered when she first got her phone and created her own QQ account, she would often share her thoughts online.
Sometimes, she would even post about what she had for lunch.
To this day, Li Qingxue hadn’t changed that habit.
Perhaps this was what they called the desire to share.
As she typed away on her phone, soon over a hundred words appeared on the screen.
Looking at the text, she ultimately deleted it all: [Feeling a bit happy today.]
After posting, she lay back on her bed and let out a long sigh.
Before long, Li Qingxue received numerous messages.
The three most enthusiastic replies came from the girls she had gone shopping with that day.
They thought her post was about their fun outing, which made her happy.
Reading everyone’s replies, Li Qingxue responded to each one.
For her, this was a source of joy.
But suddenly, her gaze fell on a comment: [I was supposed to step back as a knight, but unexpectedly, I got accepted into a university in Kyoto.]
It was a comment from Ye Liangchen.
Li Qingxue glanced at it and quickly moved on.
The thought of Ye Liangchen asking her to help him retake the exam was like a thorn in her heart; just seeing him reminded her of it.
This matter had hurt her deeply. After knowing someone for nine years, she had to give up on the college entrance exam. How ridiculous...
After replying to everyone’s messages, Li Qingxue was about to log out when she noticed a new post in her feed.
[Accompanying you for nine years, never daring to forget, pouring my heart and soul, neglecting sleep and food, never forgetting my original intention, always the same, finally achieving my wish. Do you still remember the promise you made about focusing on the college entrance exam in high school, and that freedom and dreams would come after university?]
(Attached was a picture of a hand hidden in darkness and a bright moon.)
Li Qingxue had previously noticed that Ye Liangchen’s posts were only visible to her.
But this one had comments, indicating it wasn’t just for her eyes.
Rolling her eyes in exasperation, she chose to log out: “What a weirdo…”
[Wishing everyone a bit of happiness today... Let’s keep the energy up, please...]

Chapter 112: Everything Was Already Predestined
Looking at his latest post, Ye Liangchen couldn’t help but smile with a sense of confidence.
His plan with Hu Yuying had fallen through. Only by letting her experience the irresponsibility of Long Aotian and the shackles of poverty would she truly give up and understand the consequences of rejecting him.
“You could have had a bright future, but you chose the wrong path. I’ve tried countless times to save you from disaster, but you gave it all up. You can’t blame me!”
He envisioned himself soon, dressed in a suit and tie, driving a luxury car, and wearing an expensive watch, standing in front of Hu Yuying’s stall.
Imagining her shock, envy, regret, and insecurity, Ye Liangchen felt a significant weight lift from his heart.
He turned his attention back to his phone.
The last time he and Li Qingxue parted on bad terms was his fault; he shouldn’t have said those things to her.
So this time, Ye Liangchen sincerely wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between them.
After all, they had known each other for nine years. While he had made mistakes, didn’t Li Qingxue share any blame?
This situation couldn’t be entirely his fault.
What man could tolerate his woman mentioning another man in front of him?
So Li Qingxue had to bear at least half the responsibility.
Even so, he was the one who lowered his noble head first.
If he wanted Li Qingxue to regret her decision, he had to first resolve their misunderstanding.
So when he saw her post, he immediately updated his own.
There was no particular reason; he just wanted to let Li Qingxue know that he could also go to Kyoto.
She had said before that she didn’t want to date in high school, but once in university, she could think about it.
Now he had made it happen.
Li Qingxue should be ready to date him now, right?
Exiting the post interface, Ye Liangchen closed his eyes, quietly waiting for Li Qingxue to message him.
He believed that once she saw his post, she would understand his intentions.
In truth, he had always been waiting for her!
Just as Ye Liangchen was about to doze off, still without a message from Li Qingxue, he took a deep breath and helplessly opened their chat.
“Why do you have to be so stubborn?”
“Alright, I admit I lost this time. You just wanted me to contact you first, and you won.”
After muttering to himself, Ye Liangchen began typing on his phone.
“Qingxue, I got accepted into a university in Kyoto. We might not be at the same school, but it shouldn’t be too far apart. After knowing each other for so long, it’s time for us to be together!”
After hitting send, he continued typing: “As for what happened before, I guess it was my fault. I cared too much about you. Let’s make up, just like before.”
While the words said one thing, Ye Liangchen’s heart felt differently.
He would allow Li Qingxue to enjoy his affection for a while, but once she was deeply immersed in it, he would withdraw without hesitation.
This way, she would feel regret and eventually realize her mistake, leading her to pursue him fervently!
There was no other choice; the butterfly effect caused by his rebirth had temporarily cost him Hu Yuying.
But that was fine. With the advantage of being a reborn person, he could still change his strategy to win over Li Qingxue and Lin Wanning. This time, he would not act presumptuously.
Everything was already predestined by the heavens; he just needed to follow the path step by step!
He could no longer let his kindness lead him to help a treasure girl in advance, only to create a butterfly effect that caused him to lose her.
Ding dong~
The sound of his phone rang.
Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, calming his emotions before picking up his phone.
But when he saw the reply, he froze for a moment, then rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and looked again.
“Crap, I think I’m hallucinating.”
“Otherwise, how could Qingxue possibly call me crazy?”
Ye Liangchen shook his head and quickly walked into the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face. After doing all that, he picked up his phone again.
He staggered back, clutching his heart. If the bathroom hadn’t been small with a wall behind him, he might have fallen to the floor.
