College entrance examination?
Upon hearing this, Ye Rongxu was momentarily at a loss.
“Don’t you want to go to university, to experience campus life like a normal person?” Qin Chaoyan hugged him, whispering in his ear.
Ye Rongxu pursed his lips, his eyelashes fluttering slightly.
Of course, he wanted to. When he was little, he was most envious of Cao Yuxuan and the others for being able to go to school. He, on the other hand, couldn’t even sit in a classroom for long. Most of the time, he could only lie in bed, powerlessly watching the unchanging decorations in the room, feeling bored, dull, and tasteless.
Because he hadn’t experienced it much, he had a strange longing for campus life.
Qin Chaoyan saw through his thoughts and said in his ear again, “Then let’s try. You’re so smart; you’ll definitely get in.” Ye Rongxu’s heart stirred. Just as he was about to nod, Ye Boxuan and the others returned.
He hurriedly pushed Qin Chaoyan away and turned his head to see that Ye Boxuan had changed back into the clothes he had worn when they arrived. He was taken aback again. “Dad, are you not playing anymore?”
Ye Boxuan waved his hand, “No, I can’t. I strained my back a while ago, and it hasn’t fully recovered. I can’t play for too long.”
Then he said to Ji Qingyu and Qin Chaoyan, “You young people continue playing.”
After a pause, he instructed Ye Rongxu, “Rongxu, don’t play for too long either.”
His health had only just started to improve.
Ye Rongxu was stunned again upon hearing this. He turned his head to look at Ji Qingyu and said faintly, “Brother Qingyu, didn’t you say before that Dad’s back pain was caused by sitting in the office for too long?”
How did it become a back strain?
It made him think that all workaholics had bad backs from sitting too much, so he not only prepared supplements for Qin Chaoyan every day but also ordered a lumbar support device for each of the three of them.
Ji Qingyu: “Eh, was it a strain? Maybe I misremembered, haha.”
Ye Rongxu: “…”
Qin Chaoyan: “?”
Ye Boxuan didn’t understand what they were talking about even more. He changed the subject and turned to ask Ye Rongxu about his thoughts on going back to school.
Ye Rongxu naturally wanted to go.
So, early the next morning, Qin Chaoyan went to Ye’s residence to pick up Ye Rongxu and helped him pack his things.
Actually, there wasn’t much to pack. Qin Chaoyan had already prepared textbooks and study materials, as well as clothes and daily necessities. He was just waiting for Student Ye to move in.
Ye Rongxu carried his figurine box and came downstairs with a sleepy face. He glanced faintly at Ye Boxuan, who was talking to Qin Chaoyan, and said, “Dad, you wouldn’t be deliberately trying to throw me out, would you? Couldn’t I be tutored at home?”
Qin Chaoyan could just come over after work every day… uh, that seemed a bit troublesome.
Ye Boxuan said in annoyance, “Nonsense, it’s only temporary. Once we find a suitable tutor for you, you’ll be tutored at home. Besides, Xiao Qin has to go to the company during the day and can’t come home to tutor you. But he told me that there’s a pretty big rest room in his office. You can go to the company with him during the day and study in the rest room. He’ll tutor you when he has time, and you’ll come home together in the evening. If you’re not used to staying at Xiao Qin’s place, you can come straight back here at night. Who wouldn’t let you come back?”
Saying he was throwing him out, he would have to be truly willing to do so.
The old father felt heartbroken.
Ye Rongxu: The logic is clear, but—
“If Qin Chaoyan is busy, isn’t there still my cousin? She also took the college entrance examination and is already a junior…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiaojiao, who was drinking tea, almost choked. She quickly waved her hand and refused, “No, no, I’ve long returned my high school knowledge to the teacher. And Brother Qin was the top scorer in the Jiangcheng college entrance examination in our year. His grades were much better than mine. It’s better if he tutors you.”
Ye Rongxu: “…” Hadn’t Qin Chaoyan also returned his knowledge to the teacher?
He turned his head suspiciously to look at Qin Chaoyan.
Qin Chaoyan’s long, thick eyelashes drooped, and his tone was also low. “Xuxu, you don’t want me to tutor you?”
Clearly, regardless of his status, position, or aura, he was no longer the poor boy, the pitiful one, from back then. But at this moment, he inexplicably had a touch of pitifulness, which made Ye Rongxu inexplicably think of the golden retriever from his neighbor’s house when he was in the US.
He couldn’t help but cough lightly and said, “That’s not the case.”
He was just saying it casually.
…
Half an hour later, the two of them finished breakfast at Ye’s residence and got in the car to go to Qin Chaoyan’s riverside villa first.
Qin Chaoyan sat in the driver’s seat, leaning over to help Ye Rongxu fasten his seatbelt. He couldn’t suppress the smile on his lips and said, “Today is the first day, so no study. Where do you want to go play?”
When Ye Rongxu used to be in poor health, he wanted to go to many places. Now that his health has improved, for a while, he couldn’t think of where he wanted to go.
He couldn’t help but ponder.
When Qin Chaoyan was helping him fasten his seatbelt, he was blocked by the figurine box Ye Rongxu was holding. He asked, “What’s this? Let’s put it in the back seat first.”
Ye Rongxu came back to his senses and immediately hugged the box tightly, saying, “No, these are my wives. They’re all limited editions. What if they get broken in the back seat?”
Qin Chaoyan: “…” Wives?
He had forgotten that Young Master Ye was still a hardcore otaku with a bunch of figurine wives, regardless of gender.
Qin Chaoyan suddenly became serious and said, “Student Ye, today is the first day of starting your review. There’s something Teacher needs to tell you: you can’t play with figurines while studying.”
Ye Rongxu: “?”
He blinked. “Aren’t we not studying today and going out to play?”
“No, we’re starting today.”
Teacher Qin was serious and upright, changing his mind on the spot.
Ye Rongxu was speechless.
That being said, after the car started, Qin Chaoyan still took him to nearby scenic spots to play first, saying it was a combination of study and leisure.
Ye Rongxu: Clearly, it’s leisure first, then study.
The consequence of playing all day was that Ye Rongxu was too tired at night and didn’t want to go home. He nestled on the sofa in Qin Chaoyan’s villa and called Ye Boxuan, “Dad, I’ll stay at Qin Chaoyan’s place tonight. Tell Uncle Yang not to prepare dinner for me.”
Ye Boxuan felt heartbroken after hanging up. In the morning, he said he couldn’t bear to leave, but in the evening, he didn’t want to come back.
Inside the riverside villa, Qin Chaoyan was in an exceptionally good mood. He stepped forward and picked up Ye Rongxu, saying, “Shower first?”
Ye Rongxu was exhausted all day and didn’t want to walk by himself. He wrapped his arms around Qin Chaoyan’s neck, yawned, and said, “You wouldn’t be doing this on purpose, would you?”
Qin Chaoyan’s smile faltered slightly. He immediately denied, “How could I? Do you want me to take you back now?”
Ye Rongxu snorted softly, “Shower first.”
He only said that after the call was made.
Perhaps he was really too tired. After showering, Ye Rongxu fell asleep while still getting his calves massaged.
The next morning, Qin Chaoyan carried him downstairs to the dining room, placed the freshly made breakfast in front of him, and at the same time, lowered his head to place a light kiss on his forehead.
The golden sunlight outside the window shone on the two of them, casting a beautiful silhouette. The atmosphere was warm, with a feeling of home.
Especially since Qin Chaoyan hadn’t taken off his apron yet—a blue and white checkered fabric worn over a clearly expensive, high-end white shirt—creating a sense of hominess.
However, paired with Qin Chaoyan’s slender and tall figure and his habitually cold and stern face, it was somewhat mismatched.
Ye Rongxu suppressed a smile, held the spoon handed to him by the other, and asked, “Teacher Qin, is today’s theme a male servant cafe?”
Qin Chaoyan glanced at him faintly and took off the apron.
“But this style is a bit rigid.” Ye Rongxu commented.
“It was a free gift from the supermarket when I bought something,” Qin Chaoyan said impatiently.
Ye Rongxu pondered, “How about I help you order a few online? What pattern do you like? A little bear? Or Detective Duck…”
“I like you in your school uniform, with a white shirt,” Qin Chaoyan suddenly interrupted, leaning down to his ear, his voice low and husky.
Ye Rongxu’s ears turned slightly red. He thought: Despite your usual serious image, you have quite the imagination.
Where did you learn that?
After breakfast, Qin Chaoyan became truly serious and started helping him organize knowledge points and arrange a study plan.
Although he had brought the person over with ulterior motives, Qin Chaoyan was still exceptionally serious when he started tutoring.
Ye Rongxu listened to lessons all morning. In the afternoon, he felt a bit drowsy and was even seriously criticized by Teacher Qin a few times.
However, after criticizing him, Teacher Qin put on his apron and went to the kitchen. In a short while, he brought out a dessert. His voice was no longer stern but rather gentle: “Eat something, then sleep for half an hour before studying again.”
Ye Rongxu had just woken up from his drowsiness. He took a bite, and his eyes lit up slightly. “Teacher Qin, are you also a part-time chef?”
Qin Chaoyan tapped him lightly, not too hard.
However, the seriousness only lasted during study time.
In the evening, after finishing studying and having dinner, Ye Rongxu lay on the sofa watching TV and digesting his food.
Qin Chaoyan put the dishes into the dishwasher in the kitchen and suddenly received a call from the courier, saying he had a delivery.
He frowned slightly, feeling strange. He hadn’t ordered anything online recently, so why would there be a delivery? But after the package arrived and he checked the information, it was indeed his.
Who sent it to him? Why didn’t they tell him? Could it be someone he had offended, sending something to intimidate him?
Afraid of scaring Ye Rongxu, he didn’t take the package to the living room but opened it directly in the hallway by the entrance. However, after opening it—
A lumbar support belt, a waist massager, a lumbar support pillow, various kidney-tonifying health products…
What was this? Who sent it to him?
Suddenly, in a flash of inspiration, he remembered what happened at the golf course the day before yesterday, when Ye Rongxu mistakenly thought Ye Boxuan’s back was bad from sitting too much and bought lumbar support products for all of them.
Coupled with the various nourishing soups before and the kidney-tonifying health products in front of him, Qin Chaoyan finally understood and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
After seeing the news of a CEO’s sudden death, he was worried about his health and especially having nourishing soup stewed for him? He clearly worries about… that aspect of him.
Qin Chaoyan supported his forehead, feeling helpless yet unable to help gritting his teeth. He had endured so painstakingly, considering the other person’s health, but in the end… this little jerk suspected that he couldn’t do it?
In the living room, Ye Rongxu was watching a TV show. Noticing that Qin Chaoyan had been talking to someone at the door for a while and hadn’t come back, he couldn’t help but poke his head out. “What’s wrong? Who came?”
Qin Chaoyan took a deep breath and walked back to the living room, saying, “No one.”
Ye Rongxu “uh” sounded, keenly sensing that something was wrong. He tentatively asked, “Did something happen?”
Qin Chaoyan nodded solemnly.
Seeing this, Ye Rongxu thought something serious had happened. He couldn’t help but turn off the TV, his expression also becoming serious.
Qin Chaoyan looked at him deeply and said, “Let’s talk upstairs.”
Ye Rongxu was confused but followed him upstairs. Then, he was pressed down to sit at the desk in the study.
“Student Ye.” Qin Chaoyan suddenly took out the test paper Ye Rongxu had done during the day and said, “Teacher just finished grading your paper. You got a very simple question wrong. I just taught it this morning, and you got it wrong in the afternoon…”
Ye Rongxu was initially nervous, but as he listened, his mouth gradually widened.
So, all this seriousness was just for this?
However, with a diligent and studious attitude, even though it was rest time, he hurriedly sat up straight and asked seriously, “Where?”
Qin Chaoyan suddenly approached him from behind, his clear and cool breath enveloping him. One hand held the hand holding the pen, and the other pointed at the wrong question, his posture completely embracing Ye Rongxu.
“Here.” His voice was low and husky, ringing in Ye Rongxu’s ear. The airflow brushes against the tip of his ear, bringing a slight itch.
Ye Rongxu reached out to touch his ear but was caught.
“Don’t move,” Qin Chaoyan said hoarsely, “Teacher will explain this question again. Listen carefully.”
As he spoke, he lowered his body even more, the distance so close that Ye Rongxu could almost feel the warmth emanating from him.
His voice was also close to his ear, drilling into it, making his cochlea tingle with itchiness.
Something was wrong; everything was wrong.
During the day, he definitely didn’t tutor like this.
