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

"Now you can tell me what Su Manqing's second request is, right?"

Lu Ming leaned closer to check the injury on Ye Yiyi's forehead, but the girl turned her head away.

He couldn't be bothered to care and simply sat back down on the sofa.

Seeing that Lu Ming ignored her, Ye Yiyi immediately pursed her lips again:

"have no idea!"

Lu Ming frowned and said:

"I have no idea what Su Manqing is up to, I really can't sleep."

Ye Yiyi plopped down next to Lu Ming and said irritably:

"It's good that you can't sleep; it's a good punishment for you."

"Lu Xiaoming, you're too heavy now! When I was little, you would do a somersault if I sat down like this."

With a weight of less than 100 pounds, even if she sat heavily next to Lu Ming, she wouldn't splash a single drop of water.

"Ye Yiyi, if you don't tell me soon, I won't be polite."

Lu Ming said fiercely.

The more Ye Yiyi kept quiet, the more flustered he became.

After all, he felt guilty towards Su Manqing, but the young man was well aware of the gap between them and dared not say that he wanted to take responsibility.

Just kidding, the price of one of those bags is equivalent to all of Lu Ming's expenses over the past ten years.

What makes Lu Ming think he can take responsibility?

This isn't Long Ao Tianwen!

"Hmph, come on. Let's see how you're going to treat me rudely!"

Ye Yiyi, not to be outdone, put her hands on her hips.

She straightened her chest, unintentionally revealing her slender, snow-white waist beneath her tank top.

She herself didn't know what Su Manqing was thinking, but she had already made the boast, so if she admitted it now, wouldn't she lose face?

Lu Ming pondered with a serious expression, while the old door lock clicked.

"It must be my sister coming back!"

"Lu Ming, I'll let you off this time."

Ye Yiyi felt like she had been granted a pardon. She didn't even bother to put on her slippers, and ran out with her white socks tumbling on the floor.

That was close! Judging from Lu Xiaoming's sinister expression that looked like he was about to devour someone, he was almost scared into revealing the truth...

Ye Yiyi playfully stuck out her tongue and said in a sweet, delighted voice:

"Sis, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

The door was wide open, revealing Ye Qin's exhausted figure.

After a long day at work, she rushed to the Su family home to meet Su Manqing's father.

As a result, the other party made a request that left Ye Qin completely bewildered, leaving her utterly confused.

"Yiyi."

Ye Qin's lips curled into a smile. Anyone who saw such a bright and cheerful young woman, who could be both happy and sullen, would feel a sense of joy from the bottom of their heart.

"Have you eaten yet? I was just about to make some late-night snacks."

Ye Yiyi nodded vigorously:

"Of course, that would be great. But we can't give it to that brat Lu Ming; he deserves to starve!"

Lu Ming felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that Ye Yiyi had gone back on her word.

"What trouble has Lu Ming gotten himself into this time?"

Ye Qin's face darkened, her gaze darting around, as she prepared to find a feather duster.

"Yesterday they suddenly told me they were in a relationship, which made me have to go to their place after work today to explain..."

That brat, let's settle the score for not coming home the night before last!

Ye Yiyi's eyes lit up:

"Lu Ming's gotten too big for his britches; he even dares to stay out all night?"

"They need to be taught a lesson! Sis, let me go downstairs and break off some branches for you."

"Poplar branches are good; they sting when they whip you!"

Lu Ming put on a mask of pain:

"Ye Yiyi, how cruel you are!"

Ye Yiyi didn't turn her head, her laughter like silver bells:

"Sis, look at him, he still calls me Ye Yiyi! He has no manners at all!"

"I'll dip the poplar branch in salt water for you later..."

Ye Yiyi's eyes turned up at the corners, and her sudden alluring demeanor left even Ye Qin somewhat stunned.

The allure of a beautiful woman is irresistible, regardless of gender!

"No need for that, just teach him a lesson."

"Besides, Lu Ming is an adult now and should have his own independent space."

Ye Qin came to her senses and couldn't help but soften her heart again.

Ye Yiyi's excessive instigation was effective; if Ye Yiyi protected Lu Ming, Ye Qin would only become angrier.

But Ye Yiyi insisted on using poplar branches soaked in salt water to whip him. Ye Qin's heart ached at the thought of her son's miserable state.

"Mom, you still love your son the most."

Lu Ming was overjoyed and took the initiative to come closer.

He was quick-witted and handed over a teacup:

"Mom, have some water and rest for a bit."

"I have some good news to tell you."

Ye Qin changed into slippers, then rolled her eyes and said:

"What good news could there be?"

Lu Ming already had a plan in mind, and said directly:

"Didn't you hear me say that I have a girlfriend?"

"Their family is well-off; they handle large-scale AI model projects."

I studied a related major, and I helped them solve some minor problems these past few days, for which I received 10,000 yuan as payment.

Ye Qin's attention was completely diverted, and she asked in surprise:

"So you didn't come home the night before last..."

Lu Ming's lips curled up as he took the teacup Ye Qin had finished drinking from and said:

"You know me best, Mother! Didn't I tell you before that I took on a job worth five thousand dollars?"

"I just didn't expect to be working all night to solve it."

"But to my surprise, they gave me a 10,000 yuan red envelope."

As Lu Ming spoke, he transferred 10,000 yuan to Ye Qin.

Staring at the five-figure transfer information on the screen, Ye Qin froze, her eyes slightly red.

This wasn't a huge sum, but it was the first money my son had ever truly earned.

Not through casual jobs that offer no growth and simply involve selling physical labor and time, but through skilled work!

"Okay... my son has grown up and become sensible."

"If there's any work you need in the future, be sure to help people out. I've heard that AI is all the rage right now and has a promising future!"

Ye Qin's voice was slightly choked with emotion:

As the saying goes, "A skill is worse than a fortune."

"Back then, your mother was considered one of the most beautiful girls in Xiasha District. As soon as she turned eighteen, matchmakers were lining up at her door."

"Your grandma was overwhelmed with choices, but in the end she decided on your deadbeat dad. It was because he was an intellectual, a respectable university graduate from a prestigious university."

Before the millennium, graduating from a prestigious university was a golden ticket.

As expected, things did not disappoint Grandma.

Lu's father quickly chose the then-popular field of biology, and was given a government job with advance notice of housing, much to the envy of others.

Ye Qin's lips trembled, her eyes seeming to travel through time and back to the happy days of the past.

"Mom, I'll have your son from now on."

Now that I can earn money, you can find a less demanding job and take good care of your health.

Lu Ming supported her, while Ye Yiyi also supported her from the other side, interrupting Ye Qin's recollection.

Constantly dwelling on the past can be harmful to your health.

"That won't work."

"You're a freshman, you'll have plenty of expenses in the future."

"When you're dating someone, you can't just spend money given to you by their parents, can you?"

Ye Qin stubbornly shook her head.

She is a person with her own ideas; otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed married to this day.

She said her grandmother made the decision, but in reality, Ye Qin probably had her eye on Lu's father herself; it's just that people in that era were shy about expressing their feelings.

Lu Ming had anticipated this, and was about to offer a solution when Ye Yiyi suddenly interrupted him:

"Landbird! You're in love?"

"Then what is your relationship with Mu Wanqiu and Shen Qianxue?!"
