Change
The pursuit of him by Xiao Ruo did not seem to cause much impact, and Liu Yunqi did not react much to it, which instead made Zhong Yun feel a bit guilty.
What did no reaction prove? It proved she was magnanimous and did not mind sharing a man with other women? Anyone who thought that way must have had their brain kicked by a donkey.
No reaction meant she did not care. Not caring meant her status in her heart was not high.
For example, if another man chased Liu Yunqi openly, he might not show it on the surface, but he would definitely make him miserable and unable to show his face. Love has never been about fairness or unfairness. If another man came to compete with him for a girlfriend and competed fairly like a fool, he deserved to be single his whole life.
However, if Zhong Yun said harsh words to make Xiao Ruo give up, that was impossible. Love itself was a battlefield. If he did that, would it not be openly telling her that he cared about her very much, that he only loved her, and look, for your sake, I rejected other women.
If he did that, he was finished. Even if they ended up together in the future, he could not enjoy peace. She held his weak hand, and the initiative was completely in her hands. As long as you did not break up for a day, she could negotiate however she pleased.
Now Zhong Yun and Liu Yunqi had reached a critical point. Whoever surrendered first would hand the initiative to the other. It was ironic that the one who loved deeper would become the other's captive in love, more likely to be hurt.
Of course, each person's view of love was different, just as each had their own way of living.
It was just that Zhong Yun's view of love was you could not love me, but you could not refuse me. He must make the other person surrender first and take the initiative into his own hands.
Therefore, no matter how much he liked a woman in his heart, he would not reveal it. He would not foolishly confess, but slowly let the other person fall in love with him first.
Sweet nothings and meticulous care and pampering were only done after the relationship was stable.
However, Zhong Yun was not in a hurry. Feelings that were slowly simmered over low fire had more flavor. When the time was right, things would happen naturally.
Seven days later. It was a bright and sunny morning. Clouds floated in the sky like layers of cotton candy. Golden sunlight slanted across the body, warm and soothing.
Mingzhu School was located by a lake on the northern side of the city. Built by the lake, with a small mountain nearby. Green mountains and clear waters, the scenery of lake and mountains was extremely beautiful.
Zhong Yun had once watched the promotional video of Mingzhu School and was deeply impressed by the scenery inside the school like a paradise on earth. However, today he was not here to appreciate the scenery. Following a large group of his peers, led by Mingzhu School staff, he headed toward the examination hall.
Today was the day of Mingzhu School's enrollment examination. Zhong Yun had also been arranged for this day. He was not worried about the exam at all. At this moment, his demeanor was relaxed, like a tourist. Among a group of young people with tense faces, he stood out particularly.
The first test was the most important intelligence test. Zhong Yun had decided to give it his all. His previous level test scores had been too poor. Even with a leap in progress in the last few months, he could not make up for the gap with others. Unless this exam could achieve a score that was impossible to fault, otherwise admission was hopeless.
While looking around like browsing the market, Zhong Yun suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure flashing in front of the building on the left, startled. How could he be here? Before he could think further, the crowd pushed him forward, and soon they entered the examination room. He had no choice but to focus his attention and put aside what had just happened.
The exam went smoothly. For several days in a row, he took seven tests, and Zhong Yun performed smoothly, estimating that admission was not a problem. However, in the following days, he did not see that familiar person again.
Because there were too many applicants, Mingzhu School's enrollment examination was conducted in batches. Tian Hai and Chen Wen were arranged for the next batch.
The next day at school, Zhong Yun sat next to Liu Yunqi again. For his behavior like this, the class monitor turned a blind eye. As the semester was almost ending, as long as it was not too extreme, this female class monitor did not want to meddle in trivial matters.
"By the way, how many people are there in total in your Yang family?" Zhong Yun was reminded of a question buried in his heart for a long time by the familiar figure in Mingzhu School.
"What are you asking about?" Liu Yunqi looked at him strangely. Zhong Yun had never asked about her family before, and occasionally mentioned it, it was she who had brought it up.
She was just a bit surprised, not really expecting him to answer, but said, "The Yang family is large, with a big foundation. After so many years of inheritance, there are very many clan members, tens of thousands at least. But those in core positions are only a few hundred."
"Has any clan member left the Yang family?" Zhong Yun asked again, thinking for a moment, added, "In these few decades."
"Left the Yang family?" Liu Yunqi supported her chin and pondered for a while, shook her head, "Probably not... um." Halfway through, she seemed to have thought of something, said with some doubt, "Seems like there might be. I'm not very clear about it. I rarely pay attention to clan affairs."
Zhong Yun said "oh," thinking that perhaps Chen Wen would know.
"Why would you ask about this?" Liu Yunqi asked with a strange look.
"Recently, I met a person who claimed to be from the Yang family. A few days ago I met him again, so I thought to ask you." Zhong Yun explained.
"Enough about this." Zhong Yun looked at her, his face serious, said, "Yunqi, are you really not taking the Mingzhu School exam?"
"Why must I take the Mingzhu School exam?" Liu Yunqi tilted her head and countered, her bright eyes sparkling.
"Because of me." Zhong Yun blurted it out without thinking, looking into her eyes, "You would not be willing to part from me."
A smile spread from her deep eyes, but her mouth said, "It is good that you do not, always talking nonsense, it is annoying."
"If one day I do not bother you, you will have trouble sleeping." In terms of arguing, Liu Yunqi could not catch up with Zhong Yun even on horseback, being stimulated by his ambiguous words, her face flushed red.
Zhong Yun had no intention of letting her go, continued, "If you do not go to Mingzhu School, you cannot see me every day. What if you miss me..."
"You still say that." Liu Yunqi gritted her teeth in anger, but she had no choice with him. Why had she not seen earlier that his skin was so thick? Clearly he did not want to part with her, but it sounded like she was more infatuated. Clenching her fist, she smashed it toward his arm, as if wanting to avenge the "bullying" she had suffered from him all along.
Seeing the otherworldly goddess turn into a wild girlfriend, the other students in the class were all dumbfounded.
Zhong Yun's face twisted exaggeratedly, "If you hit again, I will scream."
"Shout all you want, no one will hear even if you break your throat." Liu Yunqi had never been so indulgent, feeling a thrilling excitement in her heart, and did not notice that the classroom at this time was already silent as a cemetery.
Her voice was not loud, but everyone in the entire classroom could hear it clearly.
"Plop"
Someone was too surprised, dropped the laptop in their hand to the ground.
