Chapter 58

  Five days later, Qi Shu Fan left the hospital and got a half-month sick leave. Yu Cai begged and pleaded with Qi Shu Fan to let her and Qi Shi Zhi stay for another month until school starts in September.

  Qishu was overjoyed to have a half-month vacation, and naturally hoped that Qixi and Yucui would accompany him. After obtaining Yucui's guarantee that it would not affect her studies, he agreed with some hesitation.

  Yu Cai and He Qi can take a month's leave, He Qi is envious and insists on staying, Yu Cai is surprised by He Mu's ambiguous gaze, thinking she dislikes herself for corrupting He Qi, and hurries to persuade He Qi to return, just in time to convey the teacher's lecture spirit.

  Unexpectedly, He Qi was determined to believe that since Yu Cai couldn't be delayed in her studies, he wouldn't be either. Going to class in such hot weather was simply suffering, and it would be better to stay at home where it's cool and clear, and he could calm down and read books. According to him, it would be better to wait until the National Day holiday before going back, when the weather would be just right.

  Yu Cai actually wanted to agree, but seeing He Mu on the side didn't dare make a sound.

  He Mu was entangled by He Qi for half a day, and in her heart, she also wanted her son to accompany her more. Moreover, Yu Cai had asked for leave countless times before, so she reminded him of a few things, telling him not to delay his studies, and then agreed.

  After He's mother and son left, Yu Cai was still entangled in what He's mother meant by that one glance, telling herself not to accidentally offend the strong-willed He girl again!

  Whenever he saw her frowning and distracted, he would ask, "Xiao Cai, what are you thinking about?"

  Yu Cai looked at him and felt that the person in front of her should still be reliable. "I was thinking, just now when He Qi said he wanted to stay with us, Auntie He seemed to smile but not quite, what did she mean?"

  Qishu Fan smiled and seemed to find it quite interesting, "Then what do you think it means?"

  Yu Cai tentatively asked, "Could it be that she dislikes me because I'm a bad influence on her son?"

  "How could you think of this?"

  "That's what actually happened, He Qi was supposed to go back to class, but now..."

  "I don't think He Xia would think that way, she and I have similar ideas, generally we put getting together with our son after he goes to university, besides He Qi is not a child who doesn't know what's important."

  Yu Cai thought for a moment, "Qishu Fan, if I were to ask why someone lives in the county town, would you think I'm being nosy?"

  Qishu Fan laughed, "Ordinary children would have asked long ago, but you've endured until now. His parents got divorced, both wanting him to follow them, and almost took it to court. In a fit of anger, he said he wouldn't go with either of them and stayed alone in the county town."

  Yu Cai's eyes were filled with admiration, "Wow, he's so charismatic! But I've never seen his dad before, and during summer vacation, he only stayed at his mom's place".

  His father was talented and divorced from his mother, so he was a bit angry with him and had been avoiding meeting him.

  "So it's like this! I didn't expect that He Qi is always smiling and laughing, but actually has such a thing!"

  "Yes, that kid is really good, something like this happened, not only can he make his own decisions, but also didn't affect his studies at all, it's not easy!"

  Yu Cai nodded thoughtfully, "So what did Aunt He mean? Honestly, her smile kind of scares me."

  Qī shū fán zuò chén sī zhuàng，"wǒ jué de tā hǎo xiàng shì zài yòng kàn ér xí fu de yǎn shén kàn nǐ".

  Translation:

  Qi Shu always looks thoughtful, "I think she seems to be looking at you with the eyes of a mother-in-law".

  Yu Cai glared at him with a stern expression, "Qi Shu Fan, you're being utterly disrespectful!"

  "But I just feel that way, and He Xia has told me many times that He Qi listens to your advice a lot, and many small habits have been changed. She also said that He Qi often praises you," Qishu Fan's tone was very innocent.

  "Dear public servant, you can't even recognize such an obvious flattery?"

  "Don't you think He Xia is too good to you?"

  "She did that just to curry favor with you, dear sir."

  Qishu simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

  "Dear uncle, don't you think your words and actions are suspected of encouraging me to fall in love prematurely?"

  "Believe me, I absolutely just wanted to point out the facts."

  Yu Cai's eyes were fixed on him, and after a while, she seemed to be lost in thought.

  Qibook saw her facial expression changing constantly and found it quite interesting. "Xiao Cai, what are you thinking about again?"

  Yu Caiyu seemed to be deep in thought and said, "You reminded me, I'm not young anymore, I should consider the matter of a boyfriend."

  This time it's Qishu Fanhei's turn, Yu Cai continued thoughtfully, "Maybe I should consider cultivating a nurturing system first."

  Raising simulation?

  "Uh, it's just that right now everyone is young, I'll use my extraordinary intelligence to find a handsome young man with great roots and looks, first warm him up and make him unknowingly fall in love with me, then poison his mind and raise him into the shape I expect, cultivating an excellent, considerate, devoted, and model wife-slave."

  Mr. Qi's words are always so profound, Yu Cai classmate, your thoughts are really far-reaching!

  Yu Cai was now excited, exclaiming, "How come I didn't think of it before? I should have started in the first year of high school, it would have been easier then. But it's still not too late now, right?"

  "Uh, Xiao Cai, are you serious?"

  Yu Cai started thinking hard about the candidate, "I think it's okay, but this educational process is also quite troublesome. I'm not sure if I can persist, and if I raise someone well only to benefit others, then I might as well just jump off a building myself. Who's good?"

  Yu Cai's first thought was of Yang Jun Ze, that guy who really suited her taste. Although he had never taken a liking to her and she had never taken a liking to him either, maybe if she took the initiative again and used just a little bit more of her cunning...

  Yu Cai couldn't help but smile, "Ji Shu Fan, do you think it's possible for a guy to really like a girl, be able to talk to her about anything, but still can't fall in love with her?"

  "Uh—"

  Yu Qiao hadn't thought of a good excuse, and without expecting his answer, she said excitedly, "I just think it's impossible, we're about to enter our third year of high school soon, at that time as long as I bring spring-like warmth..." Yu Qiao fell into her infinite beautiful fantasies about the future.

  Qishu coughed and said, "Xiao Cai, you're not talking about He Qi, are you?"

  "What's going on? How is this possible?" Yu Cai was indignant and couldn't help but feel humiliated.

  "Why don't you consider He Qi?"

  "That guy needs at least five years to grow up and ten years to mature, I can't wait that long and don't have the patience."

  "How was it?"

  Yu Cai's mouth twitched as she stared at him, "Dear Comrade Qi Shu Fan, if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't the person sitting over there be the Qi Shi you've been talking about?"

  Qī shū fán zàn tóng de diǎn diǎn tóu, "zěn me le?"

  Translation:

  Qi Shu nodded in agreement, "What's wrong?"

  Yu Cai Jian was so angry she wanted to kill him, and he still had the nerve to ask what's wrong. "Like this, if I were to say to you, dear Qi Shu Fan, please be my raising system, how would you react?"

  "Xiao Cai, I'm too old and don't meet your requirements, this assumption is invalid."

  Yu Cai was speechless, and Qi Shu Fan asked another question, "I think Shi is very good, and he has been tutoring you since high school, which perfectly meets your requirements".

  Yu Cai had an urge to kill him again, and with a fake smile, said, "Dear uncle, close relatives marrying each other is against the law!"

  Qishu Fan raised an eyebrow, "We are distant relatives outside of three generations, no big deal".

  Yu Cai glanced at Xi Shi who seemed to be reading a book seriously, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you're so insistent, fine, Ah Shi is indeed the best. But this thing about being a kept woman requires consideration of risks. With his excellent qualifications, good looks, and noble family background, there are too many people eyeing him. Anyone with even a bit of sense would know that someone like him can only be admired from afar."

  "High risk comes with high return."

  "I don't like adventure, and I prefer my future husband to be a bit uglier than me, so it's easier for me to find confidence."

  Qishou looked her up and down, "Xiao Cai, I have to point out a fact, this way you'll find it hard to find an excellent husband".

  Yu Cai threw a pillow over, "Qi Shu Fan, you can go die!"

  Qishu Fan smiled and caught it, "Xiao Cai, really, I think if you want to consider a raising system, He Qi Shi is not a bad choice".

  Yu Cai gritted her teeth, "Thanks to you, Ah Shi already knows, there's no hope left. What can I do? I'm not capable of provoking his mother, and I have to admit, your words completely dispelled my enthusiasm. It seems that finding someone else's raising system is simpler and more convenient."

  Qishu Fan suddenly burst out laughing, and Yu Cai threw another pillow at him.

  "Xiao Cai's words are really interesting," Qin Wan said with a smile, waiting for Ji Shu Fan to calm down. Yu Cai didn't seem to want to speak again, so he continued, "From the first day on, Ji Shu Fan seriously warned her that when he and Yu Cai were talking, she wasn't allowed to interrupt without being asked." Qin Wan thought of this and couldn't help but glance at Yu Cai, who was lowering her head in contemplation.

  Qishu nodded in agreement, "This girl is indeed sharp-tongued and quick-witted. By the way, have you called Chengyu's father?"

  "He said it means 'to succeed in everything one does'."

  "What does Cheng Yu mean?"

  "Wei Qing"

  Qin Fan frowned, but didn't say anything. Qin Wan looked at his expression and changed the subject.
