The hall fell silent for a long time.

Under the light, Professor Ye's dignified and elegant face was full of complexity.

She stared at Chu Yun deeply for a long time, and finally spoke: "Do you know, as long as you promised my mother just now." Even if you lie to them, if you beat Lu Changqing, the Ye Mansion will help you settle it. ”

Chu Yun took a sip of tea and said calmly: "My tutor doesn't allow—"

"I don't want to hear you talk this nonsense. Professor Ye interrupted Chu Yun, and Emei frowned slightly. "They haven't slept yet, and it's too late for you to change your tune. ”

After a pause, Professor Ye said word by word: "In Pearl City, no one dares to come to the Ye Mansion to make trouble. Lu Yueting can't either. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Chu Yun shook his head. "If you mean well. ”

"My greatest strength as a person is that I don't like to cause trouble to others. Chu Yun pursed his lips and said. "I don't like to owe favors even more. ”

"Then do you know how dangerous tonight's Pearl is for you?" Professor Ye frowned. "I believe you are strong enough, but that doesn't mean you're invulnerable, you're going to get tired, you're going to bleed, you're going to die. ”

"Are you willing?" Professor Ye asked in a deep voice.

"As your mother said, you have to learn to deal with it. Chu Yun smiled slightly. There was something touching in my heart.

He firmly believes that, at least for this moment, Professor Ye cares about him.

No matter how many intrigues and tricks she had before, how much careful she thought. But after Chu Yun's conversation with his parents collapsed, everything became pure.

"If you die, the wife in your family will become someone else's wife. Even if she is willing to observe the festival for you, it is impossible for the Su family to allow their daughter to be lonely for the rest of her life. Professor Ye squinted and said.

"You're so vicious. Chu Yun said with a straight face.

"I'm just stating the facts. Professor Ye said lightly. "Accept it. ”

Chu Yun smiled dumbly, turned the teacup and said, "Speaking of which, I really don't deserve her." ”

"This kind of self-humility is enough to say in front of me. "Professor Ye plays with taste. "If you can get through this, survive tonight. It's best not to say it in front of Su Mingyue. ”

"Why?" Chu Yun frowned.

"She'll think you're laughing at her. Insult her. Professor Ye said word by word. Her pride and conceit did not allow her to believe such polite words. ”

"I'm serious. Chu Yun said solemnly. "She's better than me in every way. ”

"There's no need to brag about her in front of me. I'm disgusted. Professor Ye looked grim. "What kind of person she is, I know better than you. ”

"It's good that you know. Chu Yun nodded and drank all the tea in his cup.

Then he slowly stood up: "It's late at night." I won't bother. ”

"Out of this gate, no one in Pearl City will be able to protect you. Professor Ye didn't get up, but her expression was solemn, as if she was looking at a cold corpse.

"I said it. Chu Yun turned around slightly and glanced at Professor Ye with a smile. "You don't know me. ”

"Good night. Have a good dream. ”

Chu Yun strode away from the Ye Mansion and retreated into the darkness.

Professor Ye sat in the living room in a daze, silent for a long time.

"Leaves. Are you really in love with him?"

Behind him, the gentle voice of his mother sounded.

Professor Ye was stunned and turned around.

On the dignified and elegant face, a smile appeared that was not light or heavy: "He is not good-looking." ”

"There is still a married man. Cao Bangqiu sighed lightly. There was love in his eyes.

"So not yet. Professor Ye shook his head.

Cao Bangqiu paused for a moment, slowly walked to Professor Ye's side, gently stroked her daughter's hair, and said softly, "You will fall into it." Why bother?"

Professor Ye suddenly smiled nervously. Then I grabbed my mother's soft palm.

"Mom, may I tell you about those years?" Professor Ye pulled his mother to sit on the sofa.

"Hmm. Cao Bangqiu said softly.

Professor Ye leaned on his mother's shoulder, his red lips opened slightly, and said: "Since I can remember, the first and only time I cried was in the first year of junior high school. ”

"That year, I met Su Mingyue and became a table mate with her. ”

"I've never seen a woman as good as her – she was a little girl at the time. ”

"But you know what? Before I knew her, I thought I was the center of the world, the best and smartest woman in the world. ”

"Su Mingyue told me with practical actions and objective existence that the most dazzling person was never me, but her. ”

"She's prettier than me, better at studying than me, and even better at sports. ”

"Oh yes. Even when eating in the cafeteria, she is always one step ahead of me. Mom, do you know how painful it is to live in the shadow of a person?"

"At the end of the first year, I studied hard, and every day I soaked in my studies in addition to eating and sleeping. Even eating in the car is full of exercises in my head. ”

"You know, I'm smart and I've always been a great learner. No matter what kind of problem, as long as I am willing to drill, I will definitely find the answer. ”

"I held back for a year, just to surpass her in the year-end exam and beat her. Let her know who is the real pride of the sky!"

"But I lost. Lost badly. ”

"I got a perfect score in math and she got a perfect score too. Even in the application of the problem, she gave a variety of different solutions. ”

"I tried my best in every subject and got high grades. She was able to do better than me in every subject. The score is higher. ”

"The moment I got the report card, I cried. ”

"I'm a complete loser!"

"Every year after that, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't surpass her in any way. She is like a mountain pressing down on my head, and I can never move away. ”

Professor Ye said expressionlessly.

Even after so many years, when she mentions the past, she is still haunted.

"On the eve of graduating from high school, I reached out to her. ”

"I was like an old fox in the mall, and I set her a trap. Invite her to my birthday party. ”

"As long as she agrees, as long as she walks into the trap I designed. I will always find a way to embarrass her, and use my rich social experience and sophistication to defeat her. ”

"Mom, do you know what she said to me when I invited her?" Ye Zhiqiu said calmly with his eyes.

"What?" asked Cao Wanqiu, who was listening quietly, in a soft voice.

She said. Professor Ye seemed to have returned to that afternoon, and his tone was cold. "You look at me neither like a classmate nor a friend. It's the enemy. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't want to waste time on the enemy. ”

Professor Ye said in a trembling voice: "In order to fight with her, in order to defeat her, I spent six years! But she doesn't even want to waste time on me for a dinner!"

"She trampled me under my feet and crushed my pride so hard!"

"I hate her!"

"I will never forgive her for the rest of my life!"

"I'm going to snatch everything she cherishes, including men!"

Cao Wanqiu gazed at her daughter lightly and asked softly, "Is it worth it?"

"What kind of life is worth it?" Professor Ye asked rhetorically. "Ordinary marriage?

"What's more, though I don't love him. But I did take an interest in him. ”

"Mom, isn't that enough reason to be interested in a man?"

Cao Wanqiu was stunned and speechless.

She gently rubbed Professor Ye's back and said softly, "As long as you are happy, no matter what you do, Mom will support you." ”
