Hai Xiaotang was walking behind him, unaware of his sudden stop, and bumped right into his back.
She was already going downstairs, when the collision pushed her whole body against him.
Feeling his towering figure, Hai Xiaotang immediately straightened up, worried about having too much contact with him.
Dongfang Yu, however, turned around and said with a smile, âI thought about it. Letâs go have breakfast first.â
Hai Xiaotang: ââ¦â
So he suddenly stopped just because he wanted to have breakfast?!
This was intentional, wasnât it?!
â¦
After breakfast, Dongfang Yu drove Hai Xiaotang to school.
Before she got out of the car, he suddenly took her hand and asked, âHai Xiaotang, no matter how others object or how they view us. As long as I am willing to help you, youâll persist to the end, wonât you?â
Hai Xiaotang was momentarily stunned, but she understood what he meant.
He was asking if his family objected to their relationship and insisted on punishing her grandfather, but as long as he was willing to help, she would accept it regardless, right?
There was a flicker in Hai Xiaotangâs eyes as she slowly nodded, âYes!â
Dongfang Yu suddenly laughed, a wicked smile spreading on his face, âIâm quite jealous of how well you treat your grandpa. However, Iâm pleased to see you so resolute!â
Because if she were not firm, he wouldnât be able to be with herâ¦
Hai Xiaotang averted her gaze, âDongfang Yu, donât you think I am selfish?â
âI am very grateful for your selfishness,â Dongfang Yu replied.
Why was he grateful for her selfishness?
Was it because if she was not selfish, he would have no way of keeping her by his side?
All morning, SH Xiaotang seemed distracted in class.
She didnât go to lunch, bought some bread, went to the library intending to take a nap, and then study later.
Qiao Ning, who had recently been very busy, was also studying in the library today.
She also hadnât had lunch. She bought some food and came to the library, where she saw Hai Xiaotang in a corner where nobody was around.
âXiaotang!â Seeing her, Qiao Ning ran over joyfully.
Hai Xiaotang was also glad to see her, âQiao Ning, long time no see.â
Qiao Ning had been busy studying every day, working part-time, and doing many things, so they hadnât seen each other in a while.
Qiao Ning sat opposite to her, laughing, âYeah, itâs been a long time since I last saw you. Didnât you go to have lunch? You came so early.â
âIâm not very hungry, I bought some bread,â she replied.
Qiao Ning took out her food, âI also got some bread and a few drinks. Hereâs a bottle of milk for you! Letâs eat together, and study afterwards.â
âAlright.â Hai Xiaotang smiled faintly, but she didnât have an appetite. After eating a bit, she couldnât eat anymore.
âXiaotang, whatâs wrong with you?â Qiao Ning asked with concern, âAre you still worrying about your grandfather?â
Qiao Ning was not aware yet that Hai Zhiyuan had been exonerated.
Hai Xiaotang shook her head: âQiao Ning, my grandfather is fine now.â
Qiao Ning was surprised, âHeâs fine now? Really? Why didnât I know that?!â
âIt was just cleared up recently.â
âReally? Thatâs great! Xiaotang, what on earth happened? How did your grandfather get exonerated?â
Hai Xiaotang didnât hide anything from her and told her everything.
Including the current entanglement between her and Dongfang Yuâ¦
Qiao Ning was shocked after hearing this.
She had not expected Dongfang Yu to abandon his familyâs hatred for Hai Xiaotangâs sake, even going so far as to support themâ¦
And Hai Xiaotang agreed to get back together with him just to save her grandfather, not only agreeing to be with him again but to be with him forever.
