DLSRWAR Chapter 23 I only like my wife.
Although the young man was seated, his demeanor was both noble and flamboyant.
Ye Hancheng’s expression remained indifferent, his tone carrying an unmistakable aloofness. “I only like my wife.”
Qiu Gaotiao: “…”
Where can you get a wife when you are a virgin with no girlfriend?
Ye Hancheng muted his microphone and simultaneously silenced both Qiu Gaotiao and Qi Yin. He finished the game quietly and logged off.
Qiu Gaotiao sent him a message, “Chengzi, what’s wrong? Don’t you like this type?”
Ye Hancheng replied, “I don’t like it. Don’t play matchmaker. I have a wife.”
Qiu Gaotiao asked, “Who? Jun Ji-hyun?”
Ye Hancheng: “…”
Qiu Gaotiao continued, “Alright, if you don’t like it, I’ll help you turn down Qi Yin.”
After ending the chat with Qiu Gaotiao, Qin Yumian also returned with her exam papers.
The conversation just now must have been heard by his wife.
As soon as Qin Yumian sat down, Ye Hancheng hurriedly explained, “I really don’t like that girl. Wif—Sports rep, please don’t misunderstand.”
A hint of confusion appeared in Qin Yumian’s eyes as she turned to the young man. “Why are you worried that I might misunderstand?”
Who Ye Hancheng liked was his own business, and even if she did misunderstand, their ordinary classmate relationship would not warrant much discussion.
“It’s because I’m someone who needs to study hard to get into Tsinghua-Peking University,” Ye Hancheng said earnestly. “I don’t want you to misunderstand my dedication to studying.”
Qin Yumian: “…”
Qin Yumian cast him a sidelong glance and coolly reminded him, “But you were just playing a game.”
Ye Hancheng replied, “Even while studying, one needs to relax. Teacher Lu Xun once said that one should balance work and rest.”
Grandpa Lu, who had been quietly observing, tapped Ye Hancheng on the head with a rolled-up book. “Teacher Lu Xun never said that. Let me see your exam papers.”
Ye Hancheng obediently took the scolding, holding his English exam paper with both hands as he handed it over to the elderly man.
Grandpa Lu looked at the paper and immediately grew exasperated. “Why is your handwriting so terrible?”
Ye Hancheng: “…”
Ye Hancheng didn’t dare to retort. After all, Grandpa Lu was speaking the truth.
It was only after reviewing the young man’s answers that Grandpa Lu’s expression softened slightly. “Do a math paper for me to review.”
Ye Hancheng did not dare to protest, pulling out his math exam and starting on the problems.
Qin Yumian could barely contain her amusement and took out an uncompleted paper of her own to work on.
An hour later, Grandpa Lu, having finished reviewing his large characters, came over to check their homework.
Qin Yumian had been working on a Chinese exam paper, and since the subjective questions didn’t have set answers, Grandpa Lu began by checking Ye Hancheng’s paper.
Ye Hancheng’s exam paper was the same one that Qin Yumian had just completed. Grandpa Lu had memorized the answers, so he glanced briefly at Ye Hancheng’s responses.
To his dismay, the first answer was incorrect.
Grandpa Lu patiently continued reviewing, only to find that out of twelve multiple-choice questions, Ye Hancheng had gotten just one right.
Grandpa Lu closed his eyes. Out of four options in a multiple-choice question, there was a one-in-four chance of picking the correct answer. Yet, out of twelve questions, the other party had only guessed one correctly…
Having spent half his life in teaching, Grandpa Lu grew angrier the more he thought about it. He slammed the exam paper onto the table and demanded, “What have you been learning in the capital? Out of twelve multiple-choice questions, you only got one right. Did you pick them with your eyes closed?”
Ye Hancheng sheepishly scratched the back of his head and admitted, “I don’t know how to do them.”
Grandpa Lu snapped, “Don’t know how? Didn’t you even try to guess? With a one-in-four chance, you should have gotten more right. Do you have a conflict with the correct answers?”
Ye Hancheng asked seriously, “Grandpa Lu, do you also think I have a conflict with the correct answers?”
Grandpa Lu: “…”
Grandpa Lu, nearly driven to high blood pressure by Ye Hancheng, simply tossed him a math book, telling him to thoroughly master the basics before attempting any more problems. Otherwise, Grandpa Lu couldn’t guarantee he’d resist the urge to grab a bamboo stick and give him a good whack.
Having spent the entire day doing homework at the Lu residence, Ye Hancheng felt miserable all over.
He had always loved to have fun, and now, having returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen, when his energy was at its peak, asking him to sit still and do homework all day was nothing short of torture.
If not for his wife’s company, Ye Hancheng would have given up long ago.
Back in the capital, he was notorious as the leader of a group of rich second-generation troublemakers at the city’s No. 1 High School. Skipping classes, getting into fights, teasing cats and dogs, and provoking people—whatever was most annoying, he would do it.
Moreover, with his powerful and influential family backing him, there were very few who dared to cross him. Even those who disliked him only whispered behind his back—no one ever had the courage to confront Ye Hancheng directly.
Although Ye Jingyuan wasn’t a good father, he was fiercely protective of his children. Especially when it came to his youngest son, whom he felt he owed something, he was particularly indulgent. If anyone dared to bully his youngest son, the old father would make sure they understood why the flowers were so red.
It was also because of Ye Jingyuan’s indulgence that Ye Hancheng could reign supreme in the capital. The old father was unreliable, but fortunately, there was Ye Zhizhou to keep him in check. Otherwise, Ye Hancheng might have ended up as a reckless and worthless rich second-generation.
In the evening, Grandpa Lu invited the two of them to stay for dinner. Qin Yumian couldn’t go home to cook, so she had to let Grandpa Qin and Qin Xian manage on their own at Uncle Zhao’s place for the night.
At the dinner table, Grandpa Lu spoke up, “I’m getting old, and there are many things I can’t remember clearly. Next time you and Mianmian come over, I’ll find another tutor for you.”
Ye Hancheng flattered, “There’s no need for that. I think Grandpa Lu teaches exceptionally well.”
As he spoke, he deftly served Qin Yumian some of her favorite dishes.
Qin Yumian: “…”
His actions were so practiced and natural that she couldn’t even muster a refusal.
Grandpa Lu chuckled and scolded, “Enough flattery. It’s settled. I’ll call Jiawen later.”
Qin Yumian looked up and asked, “Is Big Brother Jiawen not busy lately?”
“Busy? What could he be busy with? He’s been on summer vacation for a while now. He’s just doing some experiments with his tutor and running a few errands.”
Jiawen?
Ye Hancheng couldn’t help but find the name vaguely familiar.
A fleeting thought crossed his mind. “Are you talking about Lu Jiawen?”
Qin Yumian nodded. “Yes, Big Brother Jiawen is Grandpa Lu’s grandson.”
She then cast a confused glance at Ye Hancheng. “Do you know Big Brother Jiawen?”
Ye Hancheng: “…”
Know him? How could he not?
His love rival!
He hadn’t expected that his wife had already known Lu Jiawen this early.
Ye Hancheng looked at Qin Yumian with a hint of grievance in his eyes. “Have you known him for a long time? You even call him ‘big brother’.”
Qin Yumian: “…”
Qin Yumian said helplessly, “Big Brother Jiawen is three years older than me. If I didn’t call him ‘big brother’, what should I call him?”
The elderly Grandpa Lu, with his years of experience, could naturally see what kind of feelings Ye Hancheng had for Qin Yumian. However, Grandpa Lu had already set his sights on Qin Yumian as his granddaughter-in-law first, so instead of helping Ye Hancheng pursue her, he calmly added, “Mianmian and Jiawen have been childhood sweethearts. When she was little, Mianmian loved following Jiawen around, sweetly calling him ‘big brother1’.”
