Chapter 317 - 316: Decision
Hearing Fei Erya’s words, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile, "Alright then, it’s settled. By that time, my injury should have healed, and I can relax a bit. I feel like I’ve been resting at home for so long that mushrooms might start growing on me."
Seeing Yiyi agree, Fei Erya was very happy and quickly said, "Then let’s invite Brother Gu along as well. I... I’ll bring someone too." At the end, her face was slightly red, but facing Yiyi, she didn’t want to hide anything and directly said, "Yiyi, I... I’m dating Fan Qianshu."
Yiyi had known about this for a while, so she was not particularly surprised upon hearing Fei Erya say it, but she was still happy that Fei Erya chose to be straightforward with her. "Er Ya, when did you start seeing Fan Qianshu?"
"It... it was during the academic exchange with my mentor. I didn’t expect to run into him there, and he helped me out. We got along well, so we... gradually got together." When Fei Erya talked about Fan Qianshu, her face was full of smiles, but recalling Yiyi’s prior advice, her words were slightly apprehensive. She was worried Yiyi might not like seeing her fall for Fan Qianshu.
"Er Ya, have you... have you fallen for Fan Qianshu?"
Hearing Yiyi’s words, Fei Erya’s face turned red, but she did not deny it, nodding directly, "Yes, I like him."
Fan Qianshu was really outstanding, not only handsome but also academically excellent. Even amidst the multitude of talents at Jing University, he stood out, winning scholarships year after year.
Initially, because of Yiyi’s warnings, she didn’t have much feeling for Fan Qianshu. But after he rescued her from danger last time, her feelings towards him gradually changed. Now that they were truly getting along, she was even more attracted, deeply falling for him. He really was a man who could easily garner affection.
Seeing Fei Erya acknowledging without hesitation, Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Does he like you back too?"
"He likes me too."
Fei Erya answered without hesitation again, her happiness evident.
Yiyi saw this and couldn’t help but smile slightly, "That’s good. Then when the time comes, let’s have a meal together and have a proper chat. Although I’ve met Fan Qianshu a few times, I haven’t really gotten to know him well. This time, I need to observe more closely to see if he’s as good as you say."
"Yes."
Fei Erya was very happy seeing Yiyi agree, and then started talking about school, "Yiyi, you’ve been on leave for quite a while, quite a few courses have been delayed. Will it affect your final exams?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve been reading while recovering, the final exams shouldn’t be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Fei Erya was relieved.
When Monday came for school, Fei Erya returned, while Yiyi continued recovering.
During this period, Ding Yuejun couldn’t even care about the clothing store. Aside from costumes for the crew, she wasn’t handling anything else. "Yiyi, let’s have chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch today. These mushrooms were specially sourced by your mentor, said to be good stuff growing deep in the mountains. I don’t even know what kind they are. Once I finish cooking, you and Xiao Wu should have two bowls."
Yiyi smiled upon hearing this, "Okay, Mom, we’re in for a treat at lunch."
During her recovery, Yiyi felt like she had gained weight.
However, Ding Yuejun didn’t immediately go to the kitchen after saying that. Instead, she quietly approached Yiyi, "I heard Er Ya got a boyfriend. Have you met him? What kind of person is he?"
Seeing her mother’s curious expression, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, you’ve met him actually."
"Ah... is it someone I know? Who?"
Although she knew Fei Erya got a boyfriend, she didn’t know the specifics. Hearing her daughter’s words, she grew even more curious.
"It’s the handsome guy we met on the train the first time we came to Shangjing."
"Oh... it’s him."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly recalled Fan Qianshu’s appearance, "Such a handsome guy, I’ve never seen anyone better looking. Er Ya should keep a close eye, many women will want to get close."
Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh at her mother’s words.
"Mom, you worry too much. Even if those women like Fan Qianshu, they wouldn’t do anything outrageous knowing he has a girlfriend, right?"
Ding Yuejun gave Yiyi a glance, "You haven’t seen those who snatch away others. What if some women play tricks?"
Seeing her mom getting worried, Yiyi was a bit helpless, "Mom, weren’t you about to cook?"
"Oh, yes, I’m going now."
Yiyi was mostly recovered, but both her mother and mentor advised her to rest a bit longer, so she stayed home a week more. Just when she was about to go back to school, Gu Tingyu called.
"Yiyi, I’ll be back in about seven or eight days."
Hearing this, Yiyi’s lips curved into a smile, joy evident in her eyes, "Really? That’s great, by the time you’re back, our engagement party will be near."
"Yes, so wait for me to come back."
At the end, Gu Tingyu’s voice was low and husky, almost like it had a hook.
Yiyi suddenly felt her heart melt, momentarily at a loss for words.
When Yiyi didn’t respond, Gu Tingyu softly called out, "Yiyi..."
"Yes, I’m here."
Upon hearing that, Yiyi snapped back and softly replied.
"Even if you’ve fully recovered, take care of yourself, avoid intense activities, and don’t get into conflicts." Gu Tingyu advised sincerely, reluctantly hanging up.
Meanwhile, Wei Zixiao standing nearby frowned.
"Are you really decided?"
Gu Tingyu answered without hesitation, "Yes, I’m decided. As for you... make your own decision."
Wei Zixiao scratched his head in frustration, finally sighing, "Wherever you go, I’ll go. Let’s return to Shangjing together."
But he was somewhat unwilling, "You really won’t stay here? Even if the tasks are tough, they’re thrilling enough each time. We work so well together, and more big tasks shouldn’t be a problem. Isn’t it good like this? We’re advancing fast too."
"Yiyi is in Shangjing, so isn’t it better for me to transfer there?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zixiao was speechless.
Turns out, Gu Tingyu just wanted more time with his little fiancée. He couldn’t be the one to break up a couple. Although he relished excitement, Gu Tingyu was different now, he had a fiancée.
