Chapter 13 The Beginning of Happiness

"Sister Yun, you're still backing out after all this? My mom's on night shift, and my dad's probably asleep."

Xu Zhe'an looked at the hesitant Jiang Yun and wished he could carry her up.

"Oh, I'm worried..."

"My house doesn't exist. What you think is going on here, try living here for two days. The environment here is so nice. Go upstairs, upstairs."

While Jiang Yun was looking around, Xu Zhe'an took her hand and walked towards the elevator.

After entering, he pressed the button for the fifth floor.

"My home is in 501."

"Oh."

Jiang Yun stood aside with her head hung, her heart pounding.

At this time Xu Zhe'an suddenly smiled evilly and said:

"Here you are, do you still want to leave?"

Jiang Yuncai didn't buy it, pretending to be calm and replied:

"My legs...are on me, and I can't run?"

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened and we arrived at the fifth floor.

Xu Zhe'an subconsciously wanted to take out his keys, but suddenly remembered that he had told Jiang Yun that he didn't bring them with him, so he simply didn't take them, otherwise he would really be called a hooligan.

Dad is a light sleeper, so he should be able to hear the knock on the door.

Xu Zhe'an was about to knock on the door with a try-it attitude when it opened. Zhong Yuan, dressed in home clothes, caught his eye.

"Mom? Aren't you on duty?"

"My colleague switched with me. He has something to do tomorrow night."

Zhong Yuan's expression changed and she asked curiously:

"Where's Jiang Yun? Didn't she come with you?"

"Mom? You're not going to install surveillance on me, are you?"

"I was just on the balcony and saw it clearly."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yun, who was one meter away from Xu Zhe'an, suddenly felt her cheeks flushed.

"What about people?"

Seeing that his mother was about to enter gossip mode, Xu Zhe'an sighed helplessly and waved to Jiang Yun beside him.

"Sister Yun, come here."

Jiang Yun blushed, walked up to him tremblingly, and bowed:
"Hello, Aunt Zhong."

"Hello, Xiaoyun, come in."

Zhong Yuan pushed Xu Zhe'an aside and supported Jiang Yun into the house.

Alas, a sign of falling out of favor...

After all, Zhong Yuan always wanted a girl, but didn't want a second one, so Xu Zhe'an was always dressed up when he was a child.

After entering the house, Xu Weishi was nowhere to be found.

Seeing Zhong Yuan take out a report, Xu Zhe'an asked with concern:
"Mom, this is Sister Yun's examination? What are the results?"

"They're just superficial injuries, no internal damage, but they were really brutal. Your Uncle Qin said he'd ask Bai Ming to keep them under good care. We'll wait for the outcome."

Jiang Yun was not very comfortable and could not continue the conversation. She looked at Xu Zhe'an for help:

Help me, I don't know what to say.

ok.

"Mom, I'm thinking of letting Jiang Yun live with us for a while, and then changing the locks on her house after the college entrance exam. I haven't had time to discuss this with you yet. What do you think..."

"You think your mother is unreasonable?"

After Zhong Yuan interrupted, she took Jiang Yun's hand and said kindly:
"Don't worry, Xiaoyun, you can stay as long as you want. Auntie and your Uncle Xu both agree. I wanted to ask about it this afternoon, but I was too busy."

Jiang Yun had thought about it, but she didn't expect Zhong Yuan to be so kind and gentle, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'm sorry to bother you and Uncle."

"No trouble, no trouble. I'll go clean up Anzi's room and you can stay in his room."

Zhong Yuan smiled and immediately looked at Xu Zhe'an.

"Anzi, go tidy up the guest room. You will sleep there from now on."

"No need, Auntie. I'll stay in the guest room."

Jiang Yun also stood up and looked at Xu Zhe'an with an apologetic look on her face while persuading him. She felt like a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest and felt uneasy.

"Are you stupid? My bedroom is the master bedroom. It has a private bathroom. It will be more convenient for you."

Xu Zhe'an didn't care. "Sit down for a while. I'll go help clean up."

After saying that, he carried his schoolbag and walked towards his room, closing the door immediately after entering.

Zhong Yuan was changing the duvet cover and sheets without even turning her head, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

"Mom, are you satisfied?"

"Why are you asking this? Are you afraid I won't care about you anymore?"

"Ms. Zhong, please answer the question directly."

Zhong Yuan stopped what she was doing and said:
"When we first met this afternoon, I felt a strong affinity. As for future connections, it depends on your ability. If that doesn't work out, I might as well adopt you as my goddaughter."

I should have known better and wouldn’t have asked!

"Mom, are you so unsure of me?"

"Yes, but not much."

"why?"

"You don't understand Xiaoyun. She is a very proud person at heart. You are too young to pursue her."

Zhong Yuan speaks her mind, but everything she says makes sense.

As a doctor, I meet a lot of people every day, and I can judge what kind of person they are just by exchanging a few words.

Xu Zhe'an was not in a hurry either. The most important thing right now was to take the college entrance examination, and there was plenty of time during the summer vacation.

Fortunately, I know that she liked me in my previous life, so now I just need to proceed steadily.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask my mother's opinion on."

"Don't keep me in suspense. Finish cleaning up quickly and let Xiaoyun rest."

"Starting next Monday, we'll be in exam mode. I've been feeling quite stressed these past couple of days. I've been learning a lot of material in fits and starts, and I can't keep up. If my grades aren't good next week, don't blame me, will you?"

I'm taking precautions in advance. Even though I know my parents won't tell anyone, I'd still be embarrassed if I fell too badly.

"You're stressed out, so just rest at home for a while. I'll ask for leave for you. The most important thing is the college entrance exam, and the mock exams are just that.

The purpose of your father and I working so hard is to not burden you when we get old. It is our duty to raise you. As for the outcome, we have no control over it. You have to walk your own path."

Reasonable as always.

I couldn't help but think of the time when I started my business in my previous life, when Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi also supported me unconditionally, but none of my classmates, old friends, and relatives around me agreed.

"I'll make your bed. Go get Xiaoyun."

"Mom, I'll clean up myself. You go and get some rest."

"Sure?"

"Very sure."

Xu Zhe'an pushed Zhong Yuan's shoulders and walked her to her room.

"Good night, Mom."

Then we came to the living room. Jiang Yun's eyelids were already twitching and her head kept tilting to one side.

"Sister Yun, go back to your room and sleep."

Xu Zhe'an reached out to hold her head and shouted softly.

"Um…"

Jiang Yun, who was awakened, slowly got up and followed him to the master bedroom.

"There's always hot water for showers. If you're too sleepy, go to sleep. If you need anything, knock on my door."

Jiang Yun looked around Xu Zhe'an's room. It was really big. The bookcases were full of books, and there was also space for stuffed animals and small toys.

It wasn't until I saw a familiar little doll that I felt at ease.

"How about I sleep in the guest room?"

"If you don't mind, the bed is so big..."

"satyr."

Jiang Yun scolded softly.

Xu Zhe'an could only stretch, looking reluctant.

"Go to bed now, you've had a tiring day, good night."

"Oh yeah, no reward for a hard day's work?"

Jiang Yun's eyes rolled and she had an idea:
"I'll go buy groceries and cook for you tomorrow, how about that?"

"Okay, it's great to be able to taste Sister Yun's cooking. Good night then."

Seeing Xu Zhe'an leave, Jiang Yun quickly locked the door, then went to the desk, picked up a little rabbit less than ten centimeters long and started to caress it.

Ten years have passed, and I didn't expect it to still be...
