Chapter 1950 : Life Is Difficult In the end, Li Tingshen carried the bag of medicine upstairs.
The medicine bought by the eldest daughter of the Ye family had never worried about its effects.
The next day, the bruise had faded to a faint yellow.
He didn’t eat breakfast so that he wouldn’t have to be nagged at.
However, at the school entrance, Li Tingshen met Ye Qingqiu at the same spot yesterday.
Ye Qingqiu handed him a thermos.
“I don’t think you have the patience to sit there and be nagged by Aunt Lian. Of course, even if you’ve already eaten, you have to finish these.”
Every time she showed concern, her attitude was unpleasant.
“Ye Qingqiu, take care of yourself.”
He retracted his gaze from her wrist. There was a faint mark on it.
She was really delicate.
Ye Qingqiu looked up with a faint and charming smile on her face.
“Do you think I’m worse than anyone?”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything as Ye Qingqiu held his wrist and handed him the thermos.
“Remember to finish it.”
She didn’t stay for long. Li Tingshen spoke too little. Even though she wanted to be with him, she decided not to.
She wasn’t interested in standing at the school entrance with him.
Li Tingshen held the food container in his hand and watched her get into the car.
A sixteen-year-old girl with a tall and slender figure, a charming face, and soft and fair skin…
Compared to the first time he saw her, he had indeed grown up.
However, she had been well-behaved for the past two days.
She had thought that she would continue to argue with him because of him tutoring Liang Xuer.
She frowned again and walked into the school with the food box.
After school in the afternoon, Liang Xuer was naturally in a hurry to attend the appointment. She walked out of the school immediately. Just as she got into the car, she saw Ye Qingqiu and Xu Wenxuan walking out of the school gate and getting into Ye Qingqiu’s exclusive car.
Her eyebrows moved slightly and her lips curled into a sarcastic smile. As the car moved, she gradually retracted her gaze.
When they reached the university campus, Liang Xuer entered the library. Li Tingshen was already sitting in his usual spot reading.
“Brother Tingshen, are you better?”
“Yeah.”
Li Tingshen didn’t even raise his head and replied calmly.
Liang Xuer had never known how to get along with Li Tingshen. His personality was too indifferent and cold. He was so quiet that she could tell that he was perfunctory every time.
Most of the time, he couldn’t be bothered with her.
Pursing her lips tightly, she opened her bag silently and started doing her homework.
She would do her homework first and let Li Tingshen answer the rest.
This was the process where the two of them had the least interaction.
She didn’t expect Li Tingshen to be patient.
However, because she had left something behind yesterday, there were more questions today. The two of them finally interacted more.
It was also limited to learning.
She didn’t dare to say anything else.
Compared to facing Li Tingshen, Liang Xuer felt even more nervous. Although Li Tingshen had explained some of the questions, she didn’t dare to guarantee that she understood them.
After more than an hour of tutoring, Li Tingshen stood up and handed the thermos box to Liang Xuer.
“Bring this back.”
Liang Xuer was stunned. “This is?”
Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and turned to return the book.
Liang Xuer picked up the thermos with an ugly expression.
Bring this back…
Without a doubt, this food container belonged to the Ye family.
As for who gave it to him…
She closed her eyes.
—
When she returned to the Ye residence, Ye Qingqiu arrived home later than her.
After studying, she wanted to have dinner with Li Tingshen, but she was rejected.
She was having dinner in the dining room when she heard Ye Qingqiu enter.
Ye Jianyun asked her if she had eaten. Ye Qingqiu said that she had eaten with her friend at a restaurant.
Ye Qingqiu put down her bag and ran to the dining room to get some water. She saw Liang Xuer alone in the dining room. There was a bowl of noodles in front of her and three to four dishes on the table.
Life was quite exquisite.
Liang Xuer didn’t finish the noodles and put down her chopsticks.
“Brother Tingshen asked me to bring the food box back today. When did you send him food?”
Ye Qingqiu paused in her action of drinking water. She turned around and leaned against the fridge with a faint smile.
“Why do you care?”
Liang Xuer’s face darkened. “I just don’t want you to cause unnecessary trouble for Brother Tingshen.”
Ye Qingqiu sneered and said, “You’ve already finished the meal I gave you. It seems that it’s not a problem for him. Don’t lie about the military situation and sow discord. If you want to be a green tea b*tch, you have to find the right person.”
Liang Xuer suddenly stood up from her chair. “Ye Qingqiu, don’t go overboard!”
The smile on Ye Qingqiu’s face gradually faded. “Liang Xuer, don’t be so shameless. You’ve ignored my warnings several times because of Li Tingshen and because of the Ye family. I didn’t want you to push your luck.”
“He asked you to bring the food box back for me. He asked you to tell me that I brought him food because I was troubled? He said that you, the Green Tea Bitch, didn’t want to listen?”
She took a sip of water and walked over to place the cup on the dining table. “Why don’t we go to the Li residence now to confirm with him?”
Liang Xuer’s face paled and she bit her lips hard.
Seeing her expression, Ye Qingqiu laughed sarcastically and said, “Since you’ve done something like being a green tea b*tch, just accept it obediently. I’ve seen many green tea b*tches and white lotuses. If you want to improve your skills, you might as well learn from the second daughter of the Shen family. She has more ways than you.”
The only thing Liang Xuer learned in the Ye family was how to be a qualified young lady.
His words and actions, physical management, artistic expertise…
There were so many rich young ladies, but Ye Qingqiu wasn’t the only one.
She couldn’t deal with an unconventional young lady like Ye Qingqiu, and there were some things she couldn’t say.
She despised Ye Qingqiu from the bottom of her heart.
She had never thought that a woman like her would be worthy of the title of a rich young lady.
Even though she was now known as the princess of the Ye family.
She firmly believed that time would prove everything.
“Ye Qingqiu, don’t be too full of yourself. If you insist on being so unrepentant, no man can stand you, let alone Brother Tingshen.”
Ye Qingqiu chuckled and dug her ears. “It sounds like you’re very kind. If I’m really like this, shouldn’t you be so happy?”
Ye Jianyun had rushed over when she heard the commotion. Ye Qingqiu stroked her hair and sneered at her. “Are you the kind of person who would advise me to turn back? Aren’t you the one who wants me to fall to my death?”
Liang Xuer pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
Yes!
She was right!
The more miserable Ye Qingqiu was, the happier she would be!
“Dad, do you want some water?”
Ye Qingqiu went up and held Ye Jianyun’s arm before leaving the kitchen.
Ye Jianyun had long been rendered helpless by the way the two of them interacted. Since Ye Qingqiu didn’t mention it, he couldn’t be bothered to.
Other than bickering, the girl didn’t do anything else.
He believed that both of them knew their limits.
“I heard from the driver that you’re studying at the cafe again today? Are you used to it? Invite someone to learn at home tomorrow.”
Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “His house is not in the same direction as mine.”
Liang Xuer came out of the dining room and overheard their conversation. She went upstairs.
The next day, Ye Qingqiu appeared at the entrance of the university.
They waited for Li Tingshen in the same place.
However, Ye Qingqiu didn’t say anything. She stared at Li Tingshen’s face for a long time. Seeing that the wound on his face had disappeared, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.
“Although I don’t know why you fought, I can’t let this happen again. No matter what the reason is, I like everything about you. If you hurt something I like, or if you didn’t protect him well, I can only listen to you.”
Li Tingshen looked at her quietly. “I’m mine. Be it now or in the future, you have no right to say such things.”
He hated the feeling of her treating him as her possession.
It was as if his wishes had never mattered to her.
Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips and said, “I’m very willing to be you. I like you so much that I want to protect you no matter where I go. I have to be you. I can’t bear to see you suffer any grievances. I want to have you for the rest of my life, but I feel that it’s difficult for me to hear such words from you.”
She shrugged, unable to hide her regret. She sighed and said, “Who asked me to like you? Although there are bound to be regrets in the process, it doesn’t matter if I get you in the end.”
From the beginning to the end, she spoke with a smile. Her voice was soft and her smile was charming.
“However, you’re more or less the same. I, Ye Qingqiu, have a good figure, a good face, and a good family background. I don’t want your power, your status, or your money. I just want your face, your body, and you. It’s about time I loosen my grip.”
Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and stared at her with a hint of mockery.
“Your love is so pure.”
Ye Qingqiu nodded and said, “What else can I do? I want to like you more. Give me some action. Do you want me to only like you?”
A low chuckle sounded and Li Tingshen looked over with an ugly expression.
His gaze was almost the same as when he fought yesterday.
The few of them dispersed.
From then on, the princess of the Ye family pursued Li Tingshen. Everyone in Ping Cheng City knew about it.
Because of this, too many women who were tempted by Li Tingshen gradually gave up.
No one would want to compete with the famous princess of the Ye family.
Before school ended, Liang Xuer heard Ye Qingqiu’s brazen words to Li Tingshen.
Too many people had said that she was shameless. These words had reached Ye Qingqiu’s ears. However, when she saw her walking with Xu Wenxuan at the school gate after school, Liang Xuer once again saw a shameless bottom line.
Seeing Ye Qingqiu leave with Xu Wenxuan as if there was no one else around, Liang Xuer’s lips twitched in mockery.
…
Today ended earlier than yesterday. Liang Xuer asked Li Tingshen out for dinner.
However, this time, she had an appointment with the Ye family.
Li Tingshen naturally refused.
Liang Xuer didn’t insist and said in disappointment,
“If you don’t want to go, then next time. Uncle has been having dinner alone for the past two days. I should go back and accompany him. I can’t keep doing this.”
As she spoke, she didn’t hide her dislike for Ye Qingqiu.
“I don’t know why Ye Qingqiu has been working hard these few days. She only comes back after school and dinner.”
Li Tingshen frowned.
“You can invite her home,” Li Tingshen said.
“She didn’t hire a tutor,” said Liang Xuer. “He’s her class monitor, the young master of the Xu family. He’s doing well in his studies. Uncle said that he wanted to invite her home. Ye Qingqiu said that it’s not on the way…”
Li Tingshen’s eyes darkened.
The young master of the Xu family sounded familiar.
“Brother Tingshen, if you’re sure you don’t want to go, I’ll leave first.”
“Yes,” replied Li Tingshen calmly without saying anything.
Liang Xuer sat in the car and watched the disappearing figure in the rearview mirror. She slowly retracted her gaze.
She had just confessed to him that she wanted to pursue him and study with another man. They even had dinner together…
No matter what the reason was, purely because of a man’s dignity and his innate chauvinism, he would not choose to be involved with such a woman.
When Ye Qingqiu returned to the Ye residence, Liang Xuer had already had dinner with Ye Jianyun.
When she heard from Ye Jianyun that Liang Xuer had specially ended her tutoring session early to accompany him for dinner, Ye Qingqiu didn’t believe it at all.
Would Liang Xuer sacrifice her chance to be with Li Tingshen just to accompany her father for dinner?
There was no red rain in the sky.
She suddenly had a conscience? Ha, she might not see it in this lifetime.
“What the hell are you doing?”
Ye Qingqiu asked Liang Xuer directly.
“Does everything I do have a purpose in your eyes?”
“Do you think you have a good image in my heart?”
Liang Xuer pursed her lips and said, “Think whatever you want. Since you don’t trust me, I’ll take it as a spur of the moment decision.”
“On a whim?” Ye Qingqiu sneered. “You might as well not say this reason.”
Ye Qingqiu knew that Liang Xuer wouldn’t say anything no matter what. She said coldly,
“Don’t let me know what you’re up to. If you really want to plot against me…”
She paused and said, “I seem to have told you similar things many times. I won’t say it this time. Just wait and see.”
Before going upstairs, Ye Qingqiu said to Ye Jianyun, “I’ll have dinner at home tomorrow. Remember to tell the kitchen to prepare an extra portion. My classmate should be having dinner here too.”
Ye Jianyun nodded and said, “Didn’t you say that it’s not on the way?”
“If it’s not on the way, I’ll stay. There’s only one day left anyway.”
Ye Qingqiu felt a little angry.
Being reminded by Liang Xuer that she had neglected her father, she was indeed a little unhappy.
The next afternoon, Ye Qingqiu brought Xu Wenxuan home.
The exam was the day after tomorrow, so she couldn’t trouble Xu Wenxuan again. Therefore, she could only work harder tonight.
Xu Wenxuan’s appearance was passable. His height and looks were outstanding among his peers in Ping Cheng City.
She was humble, gentle, polite, and smart. She was the typical child of others.
Ye Jianyun had a good first impression of him.
Ye Qingqiu borrowed Ye Jianyun’s study room and brought Xu Wenxuan upstairs.
Not long after, Liang Xuer, who was supposed to be tutoring outside, returned with Li Tingshen.
Ye Jianyun frowned immediately.
