Oh yes, yes, I'll regret it. You should leave now.

After dinner, He Li walked Miao Xiaoyu home. On the way, Miao Xiaoyu skipped and laughed incessantly.

When asked what she was laughing about, she wouldn't say.

However, He Li could roughly guess.

She was so happy, it was most likely because her parents approved of her and the hints they kept dropping at the dinner table, telling He Li to hold onto Miao Xiaoyu and not miss out on such a good girl.

Lost in thought, they were almost at Miao Xiaoyu's house.

He Li stopped, waved goodbye, and watched Miao Xiaoyu go upstairs before turning to walk in the direction of his own home.

From the stairwell window of the building behind him... Miao Xiaoyu's small head popped out, observing for a long time.

She didn't retract until He Li's back was out of sight.

But at this moment, a voice came from behind her... "Is that the man you fancy?"

"He looks pretty good, quite handsome, but I wonder if his abilities in other areas are worthy of you!"

The voice was clear, pleasant, and carried a hint of playfulness.

Miao Xiaoyu's pretty face flushed upon hearing this and she looked at the speaker.

It was a tall woman dressed in a trench coat.

Her long hair reached her waist, tied into a ponytail, her figure was enchanting, and her beauty was truly exceptional, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was devastatingly beautiful. Miao Xiaoyu glared at this stunning woman and pouted: "Older Female Cousin!"

"Why did you run out again?"

"What if someone sees you?"

"You're a big star, if someone sees you, I won't be able to stay low-key anymore."

Miao Xiaoyu said, her tone slightly displeased.

Her Older Female Cousin was indeed a big star.

Because she was the famous Yu Jianxin!

The reason she came to Ye City for a concert was also to see Miao Xiaoyu.

At this moment, listening to Miao Xiaoyu's words... Yu Jianxin smiled and said, "So what if I'm exposed? If I'm exposed, then come home with your Older Female Cousin and play!"

"I'm not going back!" Miao Xiaoyu huffed proudly.

"Don't want to go back, or can't bear to leave He Li, huh?"

Yu Jianxin persisted, continuing to press her.

Miao Xiaoyu looked shy but remained silent.

Yu Jianxin shook her head, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed her little princess cousin truly couldn't be kept. However, that He Li was indeed somewhat interesting; perhaps she could observe him further.

If he was truly excellent enough, then she, Yu Jianxin, wouldn't be against him and Miao Xiaoyu being together.

Thinking these thoughts, Yu Jianxin secretly smiled... The next morning, He Li, still asleep, was woken early by his mother's voice from outside the room... "Li Zi, Li Zi, stop sleeping!"

"Xiao Liu is here, hurry and get dressed and come out."

"She came specifically to find you early in the morning."

"No matter what, you should at least see her!"

Listening to his mother's nagging and the sound of knocking, He Li reluctantly climbed out of bed, quickly washed up, and then came to the living room to see the uninvited guest, Liu Yuyan, who had suddenly arrived.

"What are you doing here?" He Li asked directly.

His words held no hint of politeness.

Liu Yuyan felt very wronged upon hearing this.

She had lowered herself to personally come to his door to reconcile, yet He Li was still treating her with such an attitude?

Wasn't he being a bit too excessive?

Liu Yuyan thought, feeling wronged, and Mother He also glared at He Li: "You brat, can't you speak properly? Be polite!" Although Mother He's feelings towards Liu Yuyan were also just so-so.

Coupled with yesterday's matter with Miao Xiaoyu, she had completely given up on the idea of He Li and Liu Yuyan getting together.

But after all, someone had come to visit.

The necessary etiquette and attitude should not be lacking.

However, He Li merely nodded perfunctorily.

"I know, Mom!" After saying that, he looked at Liu Yuyan and pressed, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"I have other things to do later, so I won't have time."

Seeing that He Li seemed a bit impatient.

Liu Yuyan immediately felt panicked.

Yesterday, she had imagined it beautifully: once Miao Xiaoyu was gone, she would personally go to He Li, talk to him, tell him she forgave him, and then reconcile with him. But from the start, things didn't go as she had planned.

Even without Miao Xiaoyu present, He Li's attitude towards her was extremely cold, even somewhat unfamiliar.

But since she had already come, she could only bite the bullet and continue.

"I... I came to tell you..."

"He Li, I've already forgiven you for yelling at me!"

"Let's not continue to be at odds like this. Can we go back to how things were before, and be good like we used to?"

He Li's expression was indifferent as he listened to her words.

Go back to how things were before? Continue to be like a fool, selflessly giving to you and then being casually ordered around by you?

He Li wasn't that stupid.

Seeing He Li remain silent, Liu Yuyan pursed her lips and continued, "Didn't you want to know where I'd write my college application? I'll tell you, we can get into the same university and still be together!"

"You know my grades too."

"It'll be easy for you to get into the university I get into!"

"Also, today is my birthday."

"I want to invite you to celebrate my birthday. My classmates are hosting it for me at the Guanghui Hotel, will you come with me?"

After she finished speaking, He Li's expression remained unchanged.

Mother He, however, couldn't hold back anymore.

You, Liu Yuyan, come to reconcile and start by saying you forgive someone else?

Goodness, what a skillful way to put it!

And what did she mean by telling her son her college choice, making him give up his future for her to enter some bad university? This girl, everyone else considers others and strives to improve themselves to get into better universities.

But she, on the other hand, does the opposite?

Making someone give up a bright future to chase her?

What kind of person is she? Where does she get such nerve?

"Why didn't I notice how peculiar Xiao Liu was before?"

"Fortunately, Li Zi didn't continue to develop things with her."

"Otherwise... what would have happened later?"

The more Mother He thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she couldn't really butt into the affairs of two young people, so she got up and left. Originally, she had planned to be polite to this Liu Yuyan.

Now she had no such intention; she only hoped her son would be heartless and quickly send her away.

Liu Yuyan clearly didn't understand how to read the room.

She also didn't notice the change in Mother He's expression.

She just saw Mother He suddenly leave, and felt even more wronged that she didn't say a few words to persuade He Li for her. She clearly remembered that Uncle and Auntie used to like her very much and often chatted with her proactively.

Sometimes they would even actively defend her.

But now that she was being humble to He Li, Auntie didn't seem to have any intention of helping her persuade He Li?

What was wrong with Auntie now?

Why was she giving her the cold shoulder?

She clearly knew her son was pursuing her.

Didn't she want her to become her son's daughter-in-law?

Such a good opportunity was right in front of her, why didn't she cherish it?

Wasn't she afraid that she would dump her son?

Even if she had done something wrong, wouldn't she, as an elder, be tolerant of her?

At a time like this, she didn't even say a few words to help her... Liu Yuyan thought and thought, feeling so wronged she wanted to cry, but He Li hadn't answered her yet, so she had to hold back her tears, looking at He Li with tearful, wronged eyes, hoping his answer would make her happy.

Unfortunately, Liu Yuyan was destined for utter disappointment... "I don't need your forgiveness!"

"And I have no interest in your college choice."

"And I'm too lazy to waste time attending your birthday party!"

"However, since you've already come, out of consideration for being classmates, I'll still say 'Happy Birthday' to you!"

"Alright, the congratulations are done."

"The door is over there, can you leave now?"

He Li said each word distinctly, pointing to the door.

With every sentence he uttered, the wronged look on Liu Yuyan's face intensified, and her mood grew heavier. When He Li finished speaking, she could no longer control her emotions, and tears fell like raindrops.

"He Li, you... how can you be so heartless?"

"Today, I finally mustered the courage to find you. I wanted to reconcile with you, but you treat me like this?"

"I even promised to tell you my college choice!"

"And allowed you to enter the same university as me and stay by my side..."

"What more do you want? I'm a girl, I've done this much, can't you just soften up a bit?"

"He Li, you chased me for three whole years!"

"Do you really want to lose me just like that?"

"If I leave today, you will definitely regret it!"

Liu Yuyan's eyes were filled with tears, staring intently at He Li with an extremely wronged, yet indignant and angry look. She wanted to see fear on He Li's face, but all she saw was joy.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I'll regret it, now hurry and leave!"

"You..." Liu Yuyan was exasperated and choked, speechless.

She couldn't say anything more, she just wiped away her continuously falling tears with her sleeve and ran out crying...
