Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Waaaah...!"

Liu Ruyu buried her face in Yang Xian's neck and cried without any regard for her image.

Tears mingled with the sweat on his clothes.

"certainly……"

"This is our agreement."

Yang Xian steadied himself and supported Liu Ruyu with both arms, the delicate body in his arms trembling noticeably.

"I'm back, don't cry, don't cry..."

He gently comforted Liu Ruyu, while his gaze swept across the crowd and met Liu Qin's beautiful eyes.

broken!

In front of Liu Qin, she was hugged tightly by another girl like this.

Will this woman be jealous?

Yang Xian is still unaware of the relationship between Liu Qin and Liu Ruyu.

If he knew, even if he had ten times the courage, he would strongly oppose his relationship with Liu Ruyu, and he would never say such ambiguous things to her.

"..."

Watching the two embracing, Liu Qin stood quietly in place, her fingers curling slightly at her side.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, her feelings were still extremely complicated.

One is the daughter she raised, and the other is the man she just started dating.

Now, these two are putting on a melodramatic soap opera right in front of her.

But she couldn't show any abnormality.

Once her relationship with Yang Xian is exposed, given Ruyu's current mental state, she will definitely collapse completely.

"Yang Xian, quickly take your men and leave!"

Liu Qin glanced at Yang Xian, her eyes darting around, signaling him to leave quickly.

Upon receiving the instructions, Yang Xian felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately carried the girl in his arms back to the academy.

The most urgent task now is to appease Liu Ruyu.

Yang Xian knew without even thinking how heartbroken Liu Ruyu must have been after he left.

This is something he didn't consider carefully.

Fortunately, he returned in time, and the girl did not distance herself from him because of it.

With proper treatment, it can still be saved!

"It was just a false alarm..."

Liu Qin turned around and looked at the group of teachers who were still watching the play.

"It's good that he's back. Everyone can go home now."

"Thank you all for your hard work today."

With the chief speaking, the teachers dared not linger.

As they left, their eyes darted back and forth, looking like they were watching a spectacle unfold.

"Chief Liu is so good to his daughter."

"Yes, I originally thought the chief brought Yang Xian here because he valued his talent..."

"You didn't expect that, did you? The CEO found a great son-in-law!"

"Shh, keep your voices down, don't let the chief hear..."

------

the other side.

Yang Xian carried Liu Ruyu all the way back to the academy.

The two returned to the bench where they had fled earlier that day.

"Alright, there's no one left."

Yang Xian sat down, but Liu Ruyu remained clinging to him, refusing to get down no matter what.

Liu Ruyu didn't speak, but buried her face even deeper, her shoulders trembling.

Still crying...

Yang Xian sighed and gently stroked her dark blue hair.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

I shouldn't have left you alone.

His voice was gentle, filled with undisguised apology.

The girl remained silent, simply clinging to her boyfriend.

Yang Xian knew that this girl was challenging him.

"I smell terrible with sweat, don't you mind?"

But Liu Ruyu hugged her even tighter.

"Stop crying, okay?" Yang Xian teased in a lighthearted tone. "You'll look ugly if you cry, and nobody will want you if you cry your eyes out!"

Women care about two things the most.

Age and appearance.

Even Liu Ruyu, who is usually carefree and dressed like a tomboy, is no exception.

Sure enough, Liu Ruyu panicked as soon as she heard that.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, and the tip of her nose also red.

Even if you cry your eyes out, you can't abandon me!

"You promised to take me away from Star City!"

"Why did you run away all by yourself?!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, filled with deep grievance.

As long as you're willing to communicate, things will be much easier.

Yang Xian's biggest fear is women holding grudges; that kind of emotional abuse is the most torturous.

"I won't abandon you, I absolutely won't abandon you." Yang Xian repeatedly assured him, "I will never abandon you again."

"Then swear it!"

Liu Ruyu stared intently into his eyes, biting her lip, and stubbornly made her request.

Yang Xian raised his right hand and held up three fingers.

"I, Yang Xian, swear that I will never abandon Liu Ruyu again."

"If I break my vow, then let me..."

Yang Xian deliberately stopped.

"What did I tell you? Hurry up and say it!" Liu Ruyu urged impatiently.

"Let's not talk about it for now..." Yang Xian shook his head with a smile, "After all, someone's still angry with me and won't listen to anything!"

"I..." the girl stammered, "I won't be angry with you anymore, okay..."

Liu Ruyu may seem difficult to get along with on ordinary days, but she is actually a fragile person inside, and she is often the easiest to coax.

As long as you give her enough security.

Not only are they easy to coax, but they're also very clingy...

"If I break my vow, may I never be able to shake off Liu Ruyu for the rest of my life!"

After the boy finished speaking, the girl laughed!

"You better be telling the truth!" Liu Ruyu continued to hug Yang Xian, covering her face.

Her last shred of self-respect prevented her from seeing Yang Xian in her current disheveled state.

"Where did you go?"

"I've been waiting for you for so long..."

Liu Ruyu pressed her face against Yang Xian's chest and asked in a muffled voice.

Yang Xian had already prepared an excuse for this problem.

"Leaving is to...do some research."

"Yes, it's the research on the topic of 'mechanical life'."

The words had barely left his mouth...

"What a fine example of doing research!"

An untimely voice rang out.

The pink-haired girl had somehow taken her seat at the other end of the bench.

"A man's words are deceitful!" Lin Ai crossed her arms, shrugged, and shook her head speechlessly.

Yang Xian: "..."

You're just making sarcastic remarks!

If you've created a living mecha, tell me you're doing research!

Liu Ruyu was clearly not buying it.

"Is research more important than me?"

"Of course you're more important." Yang Xian stroked the other's soft hair. "But I'm back now, aren't I?"

It's a real shame to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave the city.

He can do without one mech.

But Liu Ruyu cannot afford to miss out on companionship again.

This girl, whose promises to her mother had been broken repeatedly since childhood, could not bear another instance of dishonesty.

Upon hearing this answer, Liu Ruyu's body finally softened, and she no longer clung tightly to Yang Xian as she had at the beginning, fearing that he would leave.

It was very quiet around.

The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Feeling the strong, powerful heartbeat, the girl felt very safe.

After an unknown amount of time...

"Yang Xian..."

Liu Ruyu suddenly spoke, her voice very soft.

"Um?"

Yang Xian looked down at her.

Liu Ruyu slowly straightened up from his embrace.

She didn't back away; the two remained very close.

The girl's beautiful eyes were fixed on Yang Xian, sparkling with anticipation, and her cheeks flushed.

"Please don't leave tonight, okay?"

"Stay with me..."
