Chapter 43: Husband and Wife Sing in Harmony

This time, Lin Qiaozhu couldn’t say a word. Both husband and wife had worried expressions on their faces, unsure of what to do.

Ye Xuan looked at the several admissions office teachers and said calmly, “Alright, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don’t scare my parents. They’re old and can’t handle it.”

The admissions office teacher looked at Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, you will be an adult in a few months. You heard what I said to your parents. I believe you will weigh the pros and cons and make a choice that benefits yourself.”

Ye Xuan stared into the other person’s eyes and said, “You’re just bored and meddling in other people’s business, aren’t you?”

The admissions office teacher became angry and said, “You don’t know what’s good for you!”

Ye Xuan coldly replied, “Idiot!”

The admissions office teachers were furious. “Ye Chengzong, is this how your son talks to his teachers?”

Ye Chengzong looked at the angry group and smiled. “I think my son is right. You are indeed too idle. Do you really need to care so much about my son?”

“We care about your son? What we care about is Su Mengli’s future! The cultivation resources for awakened individuals are currently scarce. The Magic City University agreed to Su Mengli’s conditions in order to admit her, but such conditions will only ruin Su Mengli!”

Another admissions office teacher said, “That’s right. The outside world doesn’t know, but China has implemented a Hidden Dragon Plan for this group of awakened individuals. They will select one hundred hidden dragon-class talents. In the future, China’s best resources and latest research will be used on them. Their strength will surpass that of other awakened individuals, and China’s fate will be closely tied to this group of people. With Su Mengli’s talent and enough resources, joining the Hidden Dragon Plan was a sure thing. But if your son takes away half of her resources, then this matter will be in jeopardy. Ye Xuan, if you persist in your stubbornness, you will not only harm yourself but also destroy the future of a genius. Have you thought about it?”

Ye Chengzong’s face changed when he heard this and said, “Son, you should think about this.”

Lin Qiaozhu also looked at her son and said, “Listen to your father and think about it.”

The admissions office teachers looked at the reactions of Ye Xuan’s parents and knew that their goal had been achieved. They exchanged glances, smiled, and then left the house.

The next morning, Su Mengli found Ye Xuan early in the morning and asked, “Did someone come to see you yesterday?”

Ye Xuan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and nodded, “Yes, someone came to see me.”

Su Mengli looked nervous and asked, “What did they say?”

Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli’s anxious expression and said slowly, “They said that I would ruin your future.”

Su Mengli’s face changed, and she asked even more nervously, “How did you respond to them?”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “I told them that they were just bored and meddling in other people’s business.”

Su Mengli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Indeed, Ye Xuan never disappointed her.

She was worried that Ye Xuan would be like those characters in romantic TV dramas, give in to those people, and say some heartbreaking words like there is a kind of love called letting go, and then leave her for her own good.

Now it seems that she was overthinking. Ye Xuan was not that foolish.

At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Ye Xuan’s mind, “Congratulations, host. Su Mengli’s favorability has increased to sixty points. System updating, estimated update time is one hour.”

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this system prompt. He didn’t expect that Su Mengli’s favorability, which hadn’t increased for a long time, would increase by five points again because of his words, reaching sixty points.

However, what did this sudden system update mean? Could there be some new function?

At the same time, Ye Xuan also realized that indeed, favorability can only be truly tested in times of hardship. Without going through hardships, it is difficult to increase favorability to a high level.

In the previous month, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli had been together day and night, but after reaching fifty-five points of favorability, it had remained unchanged.

Now, facing the pressure from the admissions office teachers, Ye Xuan showed great determination, and his favorability suddenly increased by five points to sixty points. With another ten-point increase, Ye Xuan’s talent could be improved again.

Ye Xuan also understood why there were so many touching love stories in feudal society, and why there were fewer such love stories in modern times with free love.

In an era without free love, free love was precious. Couples who were not suitable for each other faced pressure from all sides.

Under this pressure, a couple who were not accepted by society could only rely on each other.

They relied on each other, shared hardships, and faced life and death together. This kind of love appeared tragic and great.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Xuan and Su Mengli’s favorability, which had not increased for a long time, quickly increased when faced with the pressure from the admissions office teachers.

And the sixty points of favorability seemed to have undergone some qualitative change. Su Mengli’s eyes had something more in them when she looked at Ye Xuan.

Originally, her feelings for Ye Xuan might have been immature favorability, but now there was something else mixed in.

From two months ago, when Ye Xuan helped her through a difficult time until now, when she seemed to be soaring, Ye Xuan had never changed.

All along, Ye Xuan was worthy of her trust and reliance. He never let her down. In her heart, she silently made a decision. No matter what lies ahead, she would stay by the side of the boy in front of her.

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, and their eye contact spoke more than a thousand words. Everything was understood without words.

However, just as the two of them were immersed in their affectionate gaze, the admissions office personnel came again. “Ye Xuan, after analyzing the pros and cons with you yesterday, I believe you can make the right choice now, right?”

Ye Xuan was in the midst of a tender moment with his goddess when he heard this dampening remark. He glanced at the person impatiently and slowly uttered two words, “Idiot!”

The admissions office teacher was so angry that he almost spat blood. He looked at Su Mengli, who was also present, and said, “Su, you should know that we are doing this for your own good, right?”

Ye Xuan is selfish and doesn’t consider your future, but you should consider your own future, right?”

Su Mengli turned her head and looked at the admissions office teacher, stuttering, “Idiot…”
