The start of a new semester

  After returning home, Xu Yitian casually threw the car key on the coffee table, rubbed his hair and went to take a bath.

  "What have you been up to!" Lü Yanlan walked out of the bedroom, stood at the door and said coldly, giving Xu Yitian a fright.

  "Can you make some noise next time? You scared me to death." Xǔ Yìtiān said, then walked towards his own room, becoming more and more unwilling to face this woman.

  "Don't do anything shameful, and you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." Lü Yanlan coldly smiled, "Why have you been coming home so late these past few days?"

  "There's something going on at school..."

  "Liar!" Before Xu Yitian could finish speaking, Lü Yanlan angrily exposed his lie. She threw the magazine that had been clenched in her hand and was now damp onto Xu Yitian's body, "Take a look!"

  Xu Yi Tian picked up the magazine, on the cover was Tian Tian's beautiful face, but in the lower left corner was a photo of him dragging Tian Tian out. After he finished looking at it, he put it on the table, his hands in his pockets, and coldly stared at Lü Yan Lan, "You already know, why ask?"

  "Tian Cheng, how many times do I have to remind you to stay away from that little fox spirit!" The voice was starting to become shrill and even piercing to the ear, making it unbearable.

  "My name isn't Tian Cheng, and what's with the fox spirit? Are you one yourself? You're still trying every trick in the book to steal Tian Junfeng from my best friend, and yet you have the nerve to call someone else's daughter a fox spirit? Do you even qualify?" Xǔ Yìtiān said calmly.

  "It's not for you to evaluate whether I have the qualifications or not. Let me make one thing clear: if you continue to get entangled with that little fox spirit, I will do everything in my power to make her disappear from your sight."

  "So, what disappears won't just be her, I'll also disappear from your sight, as long as you don't regret it."

  Lü Yanlan walked up to Xu Yitian, looked up at him, and this was the son who had been against her everywhere. Now he was already so tall and strong, and he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her. How heartbreaking it was! Hadn't she done all of this for his sake?

  She sent him to the best business school, to learn knowledge, but he, unexpectedly failed every subject. She arranged for him to meet the daughter of a big businessman in France, and he, actually held hands with a woman, standing intimately opposite that girl, and thus, she lost an extremely important partner on the business scene. She sent him to see the company's high-level executives, her precious son asked in front of everyone, if there were any prostitutes at the Star Hotel.

  "Why didn't he ever understand her painstaking efforts? No matter what, she had to make him follow her plan step by step, without any mistakes. "Tomorrow I'll send a few people to accompany you to class, their skills are absolutely better than yours, so no one will bully you, and they will keep an eye on your movements at all times. If I find out that you're in contact with the little fox spirit, I absolutely won't let her off."

  "Aren't you tired? Lü Yanlan." Xǔ Yìtiān coldly laughed and slammed the door, returning to his own room.

  Lü Yanlan sat on the sofa, exhausted. How could she not be? The struggles between her and her son, her husband, had never stopped. Until now, she had not divorced Tian Junfeng, it was because she had tried every means to keep this nominal marriage, but Tian Junfeng now even felt disgusted when he looked at her more than once. Her precious son now wanted to fight with her every day, no longer as affectionate as when he was a child, all because of Tian Tian, all because of that little fox spirit! She must think of a way to get rid of her...

  Tian Tian looked at herself in the mirror, her long legs looking awkward. This set of oversized school uniforms really didn't suit her, the pleated skirt was too short, and the small suit made her waist look too obvious.

  Tian Junfeng knocked on the door and walked into her room, looking at her frowning daughter and said softly, "If you don't leave now, you'll be late."

  "Dad..." Tian Tian pouted, pointing at her outfit, "Is it okay?"

  Tian Junfeng said with great approval, "You look much better than those blonde girls."

  "Then let's go," Tian Tian's doubts were instantly dispelled, and she happily put her arm around Tian Junfeng and walked downstairs.

  Coca ran downstairs and barked at Tian Tian twice to show friendliness. Tian Tian stroked its small head, held it in her arms for a hug, then put it down and followed Tian Junfeng into the car.

  The campus is extremely vast, with lush grass and trees, fragrant flowers blooming everywhere. Occasionally, students carrying a few books walk through the greenery, chatting and laughing with their companions, surrounded by a strong academic atmosphere.

  Tian Tian was extremely fond of this place, she asked Tian Junfeng to put her down and went to handle the registration formalities by herself. Then, in the vast campus, she took a stroll around to get familiar with the surroundings.

  Occasionally, a few yellow-skinned and black-haired international students would appear, Tian Tian found them especially familiar and smiled to greet them, the excitement in her heart was self-evident.

  Just as she was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the willows by the lake, a cup of coffee suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw a foreign boy with a few freckles on his face smiling at her, speaking to Tian Tian in authentic English, "Hello."

  Tian nodded.

  "Are you Japanese?" the boy asked.

  "No, I'm Chinese." Tian Tian felt embarrassed and let him continue holding the cup of coffee before taking it over, even though she wasn't thirsty.

  "You look very beautiful," said the boy directly.

  "Thank you," Tian Tian smiled, with a hint of unfamiliar distance.

  "Are you newborn?" the boy asked.

  Tian nodded, "Mm."

  "I'm a junior in university, just call me Qiao."

  "Hello, Joe."

  "What's your name?" Qiao asked casually.

  "It's delicious," Tian Tian said.

  "Just arrived and don't understand anything? You can ask me, I know everything." Qiao said warmly.

  Tian nodded and said, "Okay."

  At this moment, on the other side.

  Two men, like ghosts, followed behind Xu Yitian. They wore sunglasses and black suits, keeping a certain distance from Xu Yitian, not too far or too close, very professional. "Hey! You two... I'm hungry," said Xu Yitian.

  "Then please let the young master go buy food himself, we will protect you from behind."

  "Who needs your protection!" Xi Yitian rolled his eyes.

  "This is what madam means." The bodyguard replied respectfully.

  Xu Yitian sneered, "Wife? Does she have a husband?"

  "Master, mind your words, since Madam hasn't divorced Mr. Tian, she is still Mrs. Tian."

  "Cut..." Xu Yi Tian coldly snorted, "I need to pee."

  "We will follow you."

  Two poker faces stared at Xu Yitian, who had just finished using the restroom. Xu Yitian felt that he was already weak to the point of being unable to be any weaker. He cursed Lv Yanlan in his heart more than once.

  That day, whether in class, after class, eating or going to the toilet, Xu Yitian always had two bodyguards following him like a tail, just like a triad leader. When walking on the road, students would dodge him, which really gave Xu Yitian a headache.

  As they were passing by the hospital on their way home from school, Xǔ Yìtiān's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said, "Stop the car, stop the car."

  The bodyguard curiously stopped the car and said, "What are your orders, young master?"

  "I want to buy medicine, I have a cold."

  The two bodyguards exchanged a glance and said, "We'll go with you."

  Xu Yitian nodded and said, "Okay."

  Just as they were about to enter, Xu Yitian said weakly, "You can just wait for me at the door."

  "This..." The bodyguard's face turned difficult.

  "It can't be that I still have to run, right?!" Xǔ Yìtiān was furious.

  "Yes." The bodyguard could only stand at attention by the door and wait for Xu Yitian.

  Before long, Xu Yitian walked out with a smile on his face and gave the bodyguard a rare big smile. "Let's go."

  On the bus.

  Xu Yi Tian tossed a bottle of water to each of them and said, "Drink up, it's on me. You guys have had a tough time too."

  The two bodyguards were almost in tears, they were so moved that the young master finally understood their good intentions. It just so happened that they were also parched and as bodyguards, no one would give them extra attention. So, without thinking much, the two of them "gulp gulp gulp" drank it all down.

  Half an hour later, Xu Yitian kicked the two people who had fallen asleep in the car. Then, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Let you monitor this young master, can't bear to live!" Humming a little tune, he drove away with ease.

  "I'll send you home." Qiao said to Tian Tian with a smile.

  "No need, thank you for your kindness." Tian Tianwen politely declined.

  However, the boy seemed to have missed the implication of refusal in her words and continued saying, "It's okay, I don't have anything else to do anyway."

  The way of thinking between Chinese and French people is different, as the Chinese express their true thoughts with implicit language, while the French simply understand the surface meaning of the language.

  So Tian Tian could no longer refuse his kindness, and she walked silently by herself, while Qiao was beside her, telling her some interesting stories about France.

  Actually, Tian Tian couldn't fully understand his fluent and rapid French with a dialect accent, but could only respond with a "hmm" or a slight smile to show agreement.

  "Hey! Do you have a boyfriend?" Joe asked.

  Tian Tian raised her head, which had been hanging low, just about to answer...

  A black Mercedes screeched to a halt in front of them, the window rolled down, revealing the boy's knife-sharp profile. The boy's hand rested casually on the windowsill, his head tilted slightly towards Tian Tian as he said, "Get in."

  At the moment she saw Xu Yitian, Tian Tian didn't know that her whole face was filled with a happy pink glow, shy yet radiant, but... beside her... she took a glance at that boy named Qiao.

  The boy stared at the sudden situation in front of him, just as he was about to confess to Tian Tian, but was suddenly interrupted like this, and his annoyance was self-evident. However, the requirement for demeanor did not allow it to be expressed, so he looked at Tian Tian with a puzzled face and asked her, "What's...?"

  Tian Tian smiled and let out a sigh, looking straight at Qiao and saying, "My boyfriend."

  The five words "happiness" loudly slammed into Xu Yi Tian's heart, bursting out adorable pink small flowers. His mouth corners curled up, lips cherry red and charming, eyes narrowed, long eyelashes covering the captivating sparkling big eyes.
