It seems there is no turning back.
Ye Linlang pinched her fingers tightly. If it wasn’t for the need to maintain her last bit of dignity, she would probably want to cry out loud.
She didn't know who told Ye Haifeng this, but when she thought about it, even the class was saying that she and Jiang Qiran had some improper relationship.
It was not surprising that the news reached Ye Haifeng's ears.
After all, Ye Siyao was targeting her.
…
Is she going back to live in the Ye family again
And judging from Ye Haifeng's tone, he was afraid that he would no longer be able to ask Jiang Qiran for extra lessons on Saturdays and Sundays, let alone live in Jiang Qiran's house.
When Ye Linlang thought of this, her heart suddenly felt empty.
I can’t really describe the feeling, it’s just that I’m extremely sad.
She didn't want to be separated from Jiang Qiran and didn't want to accept this reality at all.
But money can kill a hero. Ye Linlang didn't know what she should do if Ye Haifeng really cut off her living expenses.
Ye Linlang understood that Jiang Qiran's family was not short of money. This was evident from the fact that Jiang Qiran easily gave her such an expensive diamond ring.
But that was Jiang Qiran's family's money, there was no way she could use it, and she couldn't even say the word "borrow".
The pride in youth always seems so humble and ridiculous.
But Ye Linlang just couldn't control her self-esteem. She knew Jiang Qiran wouldn't look down on her just because she borrowed money from him, but Ye Linlang didn't want to borrow money from Jiang Qiran.
When she lived in Jiang Qiran's apartment, Jiang Qiran gave her free tutoring. Ye Linlang always comforted herself that doing housework and cooking for Jiang Qiran was a kind of repayment to him.
But if in the future she has to ask Jiang Qiran for tuition and living expenses, Ye Linlang really doesn’t know how she can comfort herself that she is an independent person.
Lingyun High School is a private aristocratic school with staggeringly expensive tuition. Even if Ye Linlang found a job in a restaurant during weekends and summer vacations, she could not save enough money.
So, now that things have come to this, she can only move out of Jiang Qiran's house
When Ye Linlang thought about this question, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
This period of time was the happiest time for Ye Linlang because she stayed at Jiang Qiran's house on weekends.
But this kind of life is about to be forcibly ended.
…
The sky in the distance is like a maple forest that has been dyed with layers of colors, which is very bright and beautiful.
However, Ye Linlang was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She could not control her emotions and could not help but squat down on the terrace.
It seemed as if the whole world squatted down with her.
The sky seemed dim.
Ye Linlang felt empty inside and didn't know how to talk to Jiang Qiran.
Just when Ye Linlang's heart ached, she suddenly heard the voices of Jiang Qiran and a Filipino maid talking in the corridor not far away.
"Did you see the girl who came with me today?"
The Filipino maid shook her head.
"I don't know where Miss Ye went. It seems like she had a phone call earlier. Maybe she found a quiet place to answer the call."
…
Ye Linlang squatted on the terrace, feeling inexplicably depressed.
She turned on the phone screen and saw her face reflected on it.
Her cheeks were pale, her eyes were lifeless, and there was a slight redness at the corners of her eyes.
At first glance, he looks like he's about to cry, like a poor little thing.
Ye Linlang was frightened by her own appearance. She immediately reached out and pinched her face, and felt that her cheeks had regained some color.
Ye Linlang felt much more at ease now.
She didn't want others to see her in such a miserable state, especially those she cared about.
…
Ye Linlang took a deep breath, then stood up from the terrace and waved to Jiang Qiran.
"Qiran, I'm here."
Jiang Qiran caught a glimpse of Ye Linlang and hurried over immediately.
The distance was still far before, so I couldn't see Ye Linlang's specific facial features clearly.
Now that I'm closer, I realize that Ye Linlang's eyes are a little red, as if she had cried before or something.
"Mother asked me to come over and call you for dinner. Why are you like this? Who bullied you?"
Ye Linlang shook her head embarrassedly.
At this time, her mind worked quickly and she immediately made up an excuse for herself.
"How could anyone possibly bully me? I was just checking the news on my phone and found out that the TV series 'She's Summer' is coming to an end!"
Ye Linlang seriously recalled the entertainment news she had just casually seen.
"It seems like something happened to the hero and he went abroad. The story ends when the heroine and hero meet again after many years. It's an open ending. I don't know if the hero and heroine are together. Qi Ran, I'm so sad..."
When Jiang Qiran heard this, he was speechless.
What he disliked most was this kind of pretentious idol drama.
I don’t know why little girls like Ye Linlang are so obsessed with it.
He reached out and poked Ye Linlang's cheek, a hint of helplessness flashing across his eyes.
"I've told you to watch less soap operas. The screenwriters probably just want to make little girls like you cry. Okay, will you come with me for dinner?"
Ye Linlang responded softly, and then took Jiang Qiran's hand.
I don’t know why, but now even holding Jiang Qiran’s hand feels like a luxury.
She was obviously just going to move out of Jiang Qiran's house, and they could still see each other at school, but the time they spent alone together would definitely be much less, right
Ye Linlang felt disappointed, but didn't know how to talk to Jiang Qiran.
…
Soon they returned to the dining table in the hall.
This dinner was still very sumptuous. Ye Linlang skipped the vegetarian dishes and stared at the meat dishes.
There were beef tenderloin with spicy peppers, cola chicken wings, five-spice mandarin fish, etc. There was also the braised lion's head which Ye Linlang liked very much. The bright soup set off the round lion's head, and Ye Linlang suddenly felt very hungry.
Su Wan noticed that Ye Linlang was staring at the braised lion's head dish and couldn't help but smile. Because the dish was quite far away from Ye Linlang, she immediately took out her chopsticks and picked up one for Ye Linlang.
"Little greedy cat."
Although the tone was reproachful, there was no intention to make fun of Ye Linlang at all; it was all well-intentioned.
Ye Linlang felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
Seeing such a table full of dishes and the happy atmosphere of Jiang Qiran's family, Ye Linlang suddenly felt a little sad.
This is Jiang Qiran’s family.
She also wanted to have a family like this.
Ye Linlang sighed inwardly, took out her chopsticks and began to eat in silence, trying hard to keep the corners of her mouth straight, not wanting Su Wan and the others to see that she was unhappy and ruining their mood.
They specially celebrated her birthday, so she had to try to be happy.
At least, don't let others down.
Just as Ye Linlang was concentrating on eating, she suddenly heard Su Wan ask casually.
"Linlang, are you staying at Qiran's place this weekend?"
Ye Linlang was startled when she heard this, and the chopsticks instantly slipped from her hand...
