I just started college and my advisor turned out to be my blind date?

Lu Ming couldn't hear clearly, but he could tell that it was the voice of a middle-aged man.

His feelings were complicated.

Lu Ming witnessed the hardships his mother endured in raising him.

When I was little, some people advised my mother to remarry, saying that with her tall stature and outstanding looks, she could still marry well.

Of course, the premise is to find a way to get rid of Lu Ming, this burden.

The method was simple: send Lu Ming to live with his grandfather.

Lu Ming's uncle also offered to take care of young Lu Ming.

After all, Ye Qin was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old at the time, in the prime of her life. Her uncle never imagined that she would be a widow for so many years. Rather than tearing each other apart, it was better to take the initiative to speak up and give everyone a way out.

But Ye Qin did not.

She flatly refused and moved out of the Academy of Sciences' staff quarters that very day.

With a bewildered young Lu Ming in tow, they found a new home and lived there for more than a decade.

"Auntie."

Lu Ming murmured.

"Uh, why are you calling me that?"

I'm telling you, even if you beg me, the most I'll do is not tell your mother about how you bullied me.

"Something else..."

Ye Yiyi blinked, her gaze wary.

Every time Lu Ming calls her that, it means he has something troublesome to ask her for help.

But Ye Yiyi always falls for this trick and keeps letting Lu Ming get his way.

Lu Ming shook his head, feeling his head heavy, as if weighed down by a mountain.

He opened his mouth several times, but the syllables always got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't form a complete character.

Lu Ming was conflicted.

On one hand, there is the mother's freedom and happiness; on the other hand, there are strange ideas lurking in the mind of the boy who has not yet truly grown up.

He supported his mother's decision, but it was very painful for him.

To use an imperfect analogy, it's like when you're experiencing the stirrings of youth and excitedly confess your feelings to a girl you barely know.

The probability of being rejected is close to 100%, unless you are 18-year-old Daniel Wu.

At this point, can you blame the girl?

No one with a sound mind would think that way.

But the teenagers often feel sad and disappointed for a long time.

And deep in my heart, a scar will forever remain, one that I will recall from time to time.

"Are you alright, kid?"

"Did you catch a cold from the air conditioning on the way back? Lu Xiaoming, you're such a weakling. You're so tall, what a waste."

Ye Yiyi tiptoed and reached out to touch Lu Ming's forehead with concern.

It's a little hot, but not hot enough to cause a fever.

Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, then stomped on Lu Ming's instep with a disgruntled stomp:

"This is your punishment for scaring me!"

After Ye Yiyi finished stepping on the ground, she was thinking of running away when she saw Lu Ming still standing there, motionless.

Normally, if she stepped on Lu Ming's foot, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, Lu Ming would rush over to retaliate.

Even if in the end he couldn't bear to step back.

"Lu Ming... what's wrong?"

Ye Yiyi strolled back, her peach blossom eyes blinking incessantly.

For a moment, she couldn't quite figure out what Lu Ming was thinking.

"Auntie, I'm thinking."

"If my mother were to remarry..."

Lu Ming swallowed a mouthful of sour saliva; every word he uttered felt incredibly heavy.

Ye Yiyi paused for a moment, tilted her head to look at Lu Ming, looking playful and cute.

The next second, she suddenly jumped up and slapped Lu Ming hard on the head:

"You, Lu Xiaoming, how dare you think that way about my sister!"

"After all these years of taking care of you, she's only raised an ungrateful wretch!"

Leafy leaves fell, their pale yellow shirts fluttering in the wind.

Her fair and slender waist was revealed beneath her tank top, exuding a vibrant springtime charm.

However, Lu Ming had no interest in appreciating her gaze and remained staring blankly into Ye Yiyi's eyes:

"you mean?"

"What I mean is, Lu Xiaoming, you're dead meat."

I'm going to tell my sister about this later, and see if she doesn't beat you to death!

"If my sister were to remarry, wouldn't all these people who've come to our house over the years, both to your face and behind your back, have worn down our doorstep?"

"Years ago, there were even men of higher status and position than your dead father who came to visit us. Have you forgotten all that, you ungrateful wretch?"

Ye Yiyi's face flushed red, and she stood with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks in anger.

"I... I was just too worried to think straight..."

Lu Ming lowered his head as he recalled his mother's years of perseverance.

"You big idiot, you ungrateful wretch!"

"I, Ye Yiyi, guarantee with my family bloodline that my sister will never remarry."

But if you wait for my sister to come back, there's no guarantee you'll survive.

Ye Yiyi wanted to pat Lu Ming's head again.

Just as he stepped forward, Lu Ming looked up, and his forehead bumped into Lu Ming's chin.

"Hey, Lu Ming, you're just getting revenge on purpose! How petty!"

"It hurts so much..."

Ye Yiyi covered her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.

Her pitiful appearance even made Lu Ming, who had been with her for many years and was already immune to her aunt's beauty, feel a little sorry for her.

"I'll apply some mercurochrome to it."

Lu Ming skillfully took out the medicine bottle and was about to support Ye Yiyi's head.

"No! It smells awful. I'd rather die from the pain than put that stuff on me. Plus, it burns and makes it hurt even more."

Ye Yiyi retreated repeatedly.

But she forgot that there was a wall behind her, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Fortunately, Lu Ming reacted quickly and placed his hand on the wall, preventing Ye Yiyi from being attacked from both sides.

Ye Yiyi's head bumped against the palm of the man's hand, and the warm touch sent a shiver through her heart.

The moment she looked up at Lu Ming, she saw his concerned gaze, and her heart inexplicably raced.

"Fine, fine. Since you know how to take care of people, I won't tell your mom about your ridiculous talk just now."

She lowered her eyes in a panic and muttered softly.

Ye Yiyi sniffed, feeling that she had never been so embarrassed in front of Lu Ming, and felt a little wronged.

But all that her sensitive sense of smell could detect was Lu Ming's scent.

It felt familiar and reassuring, yet it concealed a surge of masculine hormones that stirred Ye Yiyi's heart and made her feel restless and aroused.

"Thank you so much, Auntie! I'll treat you to a big meal another day!"

Lu Ming felt as if he had been granted a pardon and took a step back.

He had just escaped the shadow of his mother's remarriage and had no time to consider the girl's feelings.

Ye Yiyi suddenly felt a little lost.

Looking at Lu Ming grinning foolishly, she pursed her lips:

"I've changed my mind. I want to see you, Lu Ming, die!"

Lu Ming urgently begged for mercy:

"No, Auntie, I know I was wrong."

"Knowing you're wrong isn't enough. I just want to know if my sister's skills have aged, and if she can still wield them!"

Ye Yiyi crossed her arms, then suddenly remembered something and sneered:

"Who just said my figure is inferior to...?"

Ye Yiyi, remembering that Su Manqing was her wealthy sugar daddy, changed her mind and said:

"You're saying I don't have bears?"

"You don't know Pingxiong is petty; I'll show you right now!"

Goodness, Ye Yiyi and Lu Ming really do grow up in the same family.

Holding grudges is a combination of innate talent and acquired skills!

"I'll grant you one request too."

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and gave his final solution.

It's his own fault for making wild guesses about Mom; he has to take responsibility for his mistakes.

"Only one condition?"

"You gave Miss Su two!"

Ye Yiyi pouted, but the corners of her narrow eyes couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and insisted:

"You can only give me one, otherwise I'd rather my mom beat me to death!"

Lu Ming would never repeat the mistake Su Manqing made.

Lu Ming was quite confident that he could guess what Ye Yiyi wanted him to do first.

But secondly, who knows if Ye Yiyi will mess with him?

For example, during freshman military training, he danced in women's clothing in public!

Ye Yiyi is absolutely capable of doing something like this.

Ye Yiyi's eyes narrowed to slits, making her look like a little fox stealing a chicken:

"make a deal!"
