The landline at home rang, and Yu Mingyi went to answer it.
Wang Xiaohong was crying with her mother next door. When they heard Yu Mingyi answering the phone, they immediately went to the extension to eavesdrop on the call.
The phones were connected, so when one person listened, the other could too.
“Second Brother, are you still alive?” Yu Minglang’s voice came through. Whenever he called his second brother at home, his first sentence would always be this.
Phew, it’s not a woman. Wang Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to hear what the annoying brother-in-law had to say, so she held her breath and continued eavesdropping.
“Mmm, just got home.”
“How’s my girl? Has she been bullied?”
“No.”
“Why do you sound half-dead—Oh, I get it. Haha, you deserve it!” Yu Minglang showed no sympathy for his second brother.
After all, his second brother had a strong psychological tolerance. Divine Beast Second Sister-in-law was so troublesome, but his brother could endure it. If any ordinary man experienced this, they would have divorced eighteen times by now. But his second brother was a ninja turtle.
Ignoring his younger brother’s ridicule, Yu Mingyi pretended not to hear it.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, there’s something. Second Brother, I need your help! When you return, visit my girl with some food every few days. I’m too far away to take care of her.”
“Mmm.”
Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, Wang Xiaohong suddenly realized that Yu Mingyi might not have gone to college to chase after young girls. Was it because Youngest Brother Yu’s girlfriend was studying there? Then, her tantrum just now was for nothing?
As she pondered this twist, she heard Yu Minglang’s voice clearly coming through the phone.
“Second Sister-in-law, I know you’re listening. Don’t worry, I won’t let your family pay for my brother’s salary. He doesn’t have any money to buy things for my girlfriend, so I’ll keep track of the finances. I won’t let you guys foot the bill.”
Wang Xiaohong was scared and quickly hung up the phone. Her heart was pounding.
My goodness, how did Yu Minglang know she was eavesdropping?
Hearing the sound of the extension hanging up, Yu Minglang snorted disdainfully.
With such a low IQ, she still dared to play tricks on his second brother. If it weren’t for their gratitude to Wang Xiaohong’s brother, he couldn’t be bothered dealing with her. If they really wanted to, they could bring her down in a heartbeat.
“Second Brother, do you really plan to keep enduring this? Seriously, I’ll provide free legal advice if you consider divorce. If you feel suffocated, my girl studies Psychology, she can give you counseling. How about it? My mom can take in your son. After all, what kind of people raise what kind of children. If you don’t want your child to be raised poorly, you’d better think it over.”
“Mind your own business.”
“Fine, I’m just worrying too much. I’ve got to go to work. Please take good care of my girl. Since you’re the closest to her, if you have any problems, just talk to her. She’s a nice person and probably won’t charge consultation fees. You don’t have money anyway.”
“Get lost.” After hanging up his younger brother’s call, Yu Mingyi was puzzled. Was it really necessary to act like this just because he had a girlfriend?
What was so great about being in love? No matter what the dating period was like, marriage was still full of arguments and quarrels. Remembering the crying woman next door, Yu Mingyi looked at the blue sky outside. He hoped the long break would end soon, as he was already missing his days flying freely in the sky. Maybe he should go visit his parents with Panpan…
Yu Mingyi hung up the phone, opened the door, and saw Wang Xiaohong holding her son, smiling like a flower.
“Mingyi, finished with the call?”
“Mmm.”
Wang Xiaohong’s mother brought out a soft-shelled turtle, gave her daughter a look, and said to Yu Mingyi, “Mingyi, I made some nourishing soup for you. You’ve been working hard for so long, it’s time to take care of yourself at home. I’ve calculated the dates, and next year’s zodiac sign is excellent. You two should have a child of your own…”
Yu Mingyi took Panpan in his arms and looked at the soft-shelled turtle silently. “Panpan is my son.”
“No matter how well you raise him, it’s not the same as having your own child. While Xiaohong is still young—”
“I’m taking Panpan back to my family. My mother said she misses the child.”
Yu Mingyi had heard this theory every time he came home, and he was fed up with it.
Carrying Panpan out, Wang Xiaohong was about to blow up again, but her mother stopped her. In the chaos, the soft-shelled turtle in her hand bit her by accident.
“Ai Ma! This thing can bite!” Wang Xiaohong’s mother shouted, shaking her hand continuously.
Yu Mingyi plucked a hair from Wang Xiaohong’s head and poked it into the holes on either side of the turtle’s head. The turtle immediately let go.
“Don’t shake, the more you shake, the more it bites. Find some medicine to apply, and then go to the hospital for a tetanus shot immediately.”
After saying that, Yu Mingyi left. Wang Xiaohong was busy taking care of her mother and couldn’t help but complain.
“Mom, do you think he has some problem? I think he needs to see a psychiatrist. There must be something wrong with his brain.”
“You fool, what does it matter if he’s stupid? Just hurry up and get pregnant. Tie the Old Yu Family down. You really don’t know how to please your in-laws. If you could get along well with them, could your brother’s and sister’s jobs be so difficult?”
“I want to get pregnant, but he has to…” Wang Xiaohong’s eyes flickered. Did Yu Mingyi know something?
No, he couldn’t know, otherwise, why didn’t he mention the divorce?
How to have a child with Yu Mingyi is a difficult problem.
After Yu Minglang relocated Yu Mingyi, Xiao Qian and her teammates said goodbye to their hellish training. The new instructor was gentle, which made the training bearable. Although the requirements were strict, no one complained.
The new instructor was very popular among the students. He would play guitar and sing for them during breaks and even bought them popsicles with his small salary. Everyone cooperated well and endured the training, even though it was tough.
The new instructor was reluctant to part ways with the students, leaving his phone number for them. However, Xiao Qian knew that some people would never call that number, but the pure feelings from that time would remain in their hearts forever.
After the university’s new training, it was difficult to find that kind of pure feeling again. Perhaps many years later, when they’re working, they would still remember that time, and their hearts would be filled with warmth. It’s rare to experience such simplicity in life. Though it was painful at the time, it held great significance when looking back.
Yu Mingyi said that anyone interested in joining the choir could choose for themselves, but Xiao Qian didn’t go.
She didn’t think she was too delicate to handle a little hardship. She wasn’t picky about tolerating a little trouble, as long as it wasn’t targeted directly at her. She could do anything others could do.
She stayed, and so did Shi Yu. Somehow, Shi Yu had taken a liking to Xiao Qian and insisted on sticking to her, even if Xiao Qian ignored her sometimes.
Apart from that, Xiao Qian had unexpectedly gained another follower, Dong Yi..
