So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

She, Chen Youzi, has truly borne far too heavy a burden.

"Ah~~"

Ning Mengmeng sighed; it seemed that Chen Youzi couldn't be counted on for the time being.

She abandoned her plan to help Chen Youzi and decided to take matters into her own hands.

“Auntie…” Ning Mengmeng leaned over and tugged at Ning Moxin’s sleeve.

"Hmm?" Ning Moxin turned her head. "Mengmeng, what are you trying to say? Why are you hesitating?"

My niece, Ning Mengmeng, and Xiaoyou's sister, Chen Youzi, have been huddled in the back doing something since just now, and they're still like that now. It's strange.

"It's nothing... anything particularly important..."

Ning Moxin had already turned her head back. "Xiao You, what did you just say? What happened between you and Yun Daidai here before?"

Ning Mengmeng's little face twitched, and she tugged at Ning Moxin's sleeve again, "Auntie, I meant to say..."

This time, Ningmo didn't hesitate. She smiled and continued talking to Zhou You, casually replying, "Are you afraid I'll tell your parents after the parent-teacher conference? Don't worry, I'm in a good mood today. As long as you don't get singled out by the teacher, I won't tell your parents anything."

Ning Mengmeng was interrupted by Ning Moxin, and after a moment of hesitation, she spoke again, unwilling to give up, "Auntie, it's not about that, I wanted to say..."

"It's not about that?" Ning Moxin frowned slightly. "Do you want me to put in a good word for you with your parents?"

Ning Mengmeng was getting impatient. Before she could say what she wanted to say, Ning Moxin interrupted her again and again. Why was she talking about speaking well of her to her parents again?

She reached out and patted her smooth chest, about to speak again, "Um..."

"Alright then." Ning Moxin nodded gently. "I'm in a good mood today. If I run into your parents when I take you home later, I'll put in a good word for you."

Ning Mengmeng glanced at Ning Moxin, who was occasionally smiling and gazing at Zhou You with what she saw as 'affectionate', and asked, "Auntie, can you let me finish what I have to say?"

"Didn't I already say I promised you? It's really not a big deal, you don't need to thank me..." Ning Moxin waved her hand, "Now you go chat with Youzi for a while, I'm talking to Xiaoyou right now, Mengmeng, be good~~"

"..."

Ning Mengmeng's lips moved twice, but she couldn't speak because she couldn't catch her breath in her throat.

Auntie! Ning Moxin! You! You! You!

Waaaaah~~ I'm so angry!

"Mengmeng." Chen Youzi, who had recovered a little, came to Ning Mengmeng's side, who looked aggrieved. "Let's hold back for now. Once we succeed, we'll let these women see my brother and me being affectionate and make them so jealous."

"..."

Ning Mengmeng's expression stiffened even more. It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to tell Chen Youzi that her feelings for Zhou You were genuine, not just a pretense.

Only in this way can we truly have a close and seamless collaboration with Yuzu.

Hopefully, Yuzu will be strong enough to handle the situation.

Isn't it just that she was first 'betrayed' by her sister, and then 'betrayed' by her best friend?

You can definitely get through this little hardship, Yuzu, right?

"Yuzu, you have to keep it up!"

Ning Mengmeng patted Chen Youzi's shoulder heavily.

Chen Youzi, a super beautiful girl with a figure that surpasses all her peers, nodded firmly, encouraged by her best friend.

"Of course, I believe I can!"

165. Let's look to the future instead.

The parent-teacher meeting went smoothly, and it was just like any other parent-teacher meeting.

After the parent-teacher meeting, Ning Moxin asked Zhou You to wait for her. She needed to say a few words to the school leaders. She was the principal of Hangzhou Z University. Which high school in the country wouldn't treat her like a goddess?

Zhou You glanced at Ning Moxin, who was speaking formally and politely, and then turned to look at a group of girls who were being stared at by Ning Mengmeng and Chen Youzi, who seemed eager to make a move.

With a near-perfect smile on his face, he waved to them gently, turned around, and prepared to wander around first.

After walking several dozen steps, I moved away from the teaching building specifically for senior high school students and approached another teaching building for junior and senior high school students.

The bell rang to signal the end of get out of class earlier, and now many students are relaxing outside the classroom, chatting, enjoying the scenery, going to the convenience store, or secretly taking out their electronic devices to "steal a moment of leisure."

Ten minutes between high school classes is a short time, but countless things can happen during that time.

Zhou You, who had become known as a carefree college student among his teachers, glanced at the students coming and going. Before he could even feel a sense of wonder, he noticed a group of people gathered on his path.

"Is this a senior who has already graduated? She's so pretty." A shy first-year high school student peeked out.

"Of course Senior Sister Yun is beautiful. When I first entered this school, I heard that there was a super beautiful senior sister in our senior year. It wasn't until she gave a speech on stage one morning that I realized just how beautiful she was."

A senior high school student patted the shoulder of a freshman, who couldn't help but look in a certain direction. "After entering university, Senior Yun seems to have become even more beautiful."

"Senior Sister Yun?" the junior repeated. "Is Senior Sister's surname Yun? 'Clouds yearn for clothes, flowers yearn for beauty,' what a fine surname, what a fine surname."

The "older brother" glanced at the junior in surprise. Are young people these days so good at praising others?

Such effusive praise comes so easily; it's truly remarkable.

"Hey~~ Senior is walking this way." The junior student suddenly broke free from the 'big brother's' hand.

He hurriedly tidied his bangs, revealing a handsome face that was still somewhat youthful. He had originally wanted to strike a dashing pose like in a TV drama, but as the senior student drew closer, his face involuntarily turned red.

This is probably what it's like for a young person to experience their first stirrings of love.

"Senior Sister Yun..." He pretended to be calm and wanted to call out to the 'Senior Sister Yun' standing next to him.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou You asked, stopping in front of Yun Daidai.

“I came here specifically to find you,” Yun Daidai said softly.

The two looked at each other silently, and the students around them who had been talking quietly fell silent.

The "older brother" patted the junior on the shoulder again and sighed, "I forgot to tell you, Senior Yun had a boyfriend she had been dating for three years, but there were rumors that they broke up recently, and now it seems... hard to say."

Ding-a-ling~~ Ding-a-ling~~

The short ten-minute break between classes always goes by so quickly that it's over before you even realize it.

Even the most curious students couldn't stay and watch any longer; they all ran upstairs to their classrooms.

"As per our previous agreement, I will listen to you finish speaking. If this isn't enough, you can come again next time. I will listen until you give up." Zhou You pretended to be all ears.

Do you remember this place?

This was right at the junction of the corridors, and Yun Daidai pointed to a plum tree that the school had transplanted outside.

"For three years of high school, whenever I had class, I would stand here every morning waiting for you to come find me. I never missed a single one."

Hearing only Yun Daidai's side of the story is quite touching.

Zhou You stood beside her and looked with her at the plum tree in the distance that had just begun to bloom, casually adding, "You stand here every day waiting for me to bring you breakfast."

A few steps behind the two of them is the school cafeteria. Yun Daidai would go there after getting the breakfast Zhou You brought her. Over the past three years, she has almost become a common sight on campus.

"Are you complaining about me having to bring me breakfast every day, rain or shine? If so, I can make it up to you starting today."

It was indeed Yun Daidai who made the request, because it was something couples would do, and it would make them seem very affectionate.

"Just from the point of view of delivering breakfast, I don't blame you. Although if I were a woman and you were a man, and you asked me to deliver breakfast to you for three years without a single word of thanks, I would definitely be criticized to death," Zhou You explained.

"What really disappointed me was that once when I had a cold and felt unwell and wanted to ask you for leave, you refused."

“…But you still came that day.” Yun Daidai twisted her hands together. “I thought that your coming meant you were alright, or at least not seriously.”

"Because you said that if I didn't come, you would stand here and wait for me all day, until I recovered from my cold and came to find me the next day." Zhou You's head started to ache again when he thought of that time.

It's all his fault for being spoiled by his overly affectionate childhood sweetheart parents. He's not a people-pleaser, but he doesn't like to see the people he cares about—family, lovers, friends—hurt.

This applies to Yun Mingyue, to Chen Tangtang, and of course, to Yun Daidai in the past as well.

"I……"

"Dai Dai," Zhou You suddenly called out.

He looked at Yun Daidai intently and said, "Now that we've come this far, I also have something I'd like to tell you."

"That day I really wanted you to show some concern, even just a word, but you didn't say anything, just like before."

The boyfriend fulfilled his girlfriend's capricious demands, but she still wanted him to remind her to care about him?

Is it necessary to live such a humble life?

Besides, Zhou You had actually given a subtle hint beforehand, and how could Yun Daidai, who was so smart, not understand? But she still didn't say anything, so the fault for what happened next wasn't his.

"No, no, I, I..." Yun Daidai lowered her head, feeling ashamed under Zhou You's gaze.

“Dai Dai”.

Zhou You quickly suppressed his emotions.

“If you’re willing, let bygones be bygones. If you don’t bring it up, I won’t either.” He raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder. “Instead of dwelling on the past, let’s look to the future.”

Zhou You has indeed let go of the past, after all, he now has many caring older sisters who bring him warmth and a better life.

Yun Mingyue, Chen Tangtang, Ning Moxin, how wonderful! Even when he suggested having two relationships at the same time, there was no fuss.

Instead, there was one who would continue to be intimate with him every night, trying to make him 'turn over a new leaf' in strange ways; another who was overjoyed to be his second girlfriend; and yet another who would give him advice and help him win over the other two older women.

"I don't think you have anything else to say today, so I'll be leaving now."

He walked away, and Yun Daidai stared at his back until he completely disappeared, still standing there, motionless.

166. Is this really a normal teacher-student relationship?

Zhou You spent some time chatting with Yun Daidai, and then he prepared to go back to find Ning Moxin and the others, tiptoeing past the classrooms from which the sound of reading could be heard.

Upon reaching the building's exit, Zhou You looked up at the gloomy sky outside, where a light drizzle was falling.

The wind was strong, blowing the lush branches of a nearby tree this way and that. Zhou You saw two small birds tumbling in the wind and rain. As they rose and fell, he saw their nest hidden in the dense branches.

Two large birds landed in the nest, spreading their wings to shield themselves from the falling rain. Zhou You moved to the side, changing his angle, and could see clearly that there were three large, light yellow beaks in the nest—they were chicks.

He felt a strange sense of concern and continued to adjust his angle to see if anything bad would happen to the family.

Thud~~

With all his attention focused outside, Zhou You accidentally bumped into someone and was about to apologize.
