When handing over the ID to Yan Song, he couldn’t help but kindly remind him, "Young man, take it easy, indulgence is damaging to your health...."
Yan Song’s face was dark, he didn’t say a single word and walked away with Yun Ya in his arms.
Leaning against his chest, Yun Ya couldn’t help but smile with the corners of her mouth hooked.
Yan Song asked what she wanted to eat, and after thinking for a moment, Yun Ya said, "Let’s go to Chu Xiang Pavilion on Purple Gold Road."
Yan Song nodded, placed his hands on the steering wheel and turned the car at the next intersection.
The waiter recognized Yun Ya, and as soon as he saw her come in, he immediately greeted her enthusiastically, "We’ve kept the private room for you, please come this way."
Yun Ya pulled Yan Song into the private room. Ah Le, the waiter, immediately poured tea with great care, "Should I go fetch Master Chang for you?"
Yun Ya inquired, "Is he in the restaurant?"
Ah Le quickly replied, "He was here this morning, but he went out at noon. If the young lady wants to see him, I can go find Brother Chang."
Yun Ya shook her head, "No need, I’m just here for a simple meal. Let Uncle Chang carry on with his business."
Ah Le sneaked a glance at the handsome and aloof young man sitting there and couldn’t help but feel his extraordinary aura, nodding over and over again, "Alright, I’ll have the kitchen prepare the best dishes for you right away."
Yun Ya waved her hand, "No need, just homely food will do, and make it light. I can’t eat much, and it would be a waste."
Ah Le promptly nodded and withdrew.
Yun Ya, propping her chin in her hand, looked at the young man across from her, "Brother Yan, we’re going to dine and dash today."
Yan Song glanced at her, "I’m not incapable of supporting you."
Yun Ya laughed, "Oh? Brother Yan is a student now, where would you get so much money?"
Yan Song chuckled with a snort, "You underestimate me, at the very least supporting you is not an issue."
The Yan family had strict family discipline to prevent raising spoiled young masters, so the descendants of the Yan family were restrained in their spending, especially the Yan brothers. They never took a car to and from school, but like ordinary students sometimes rode bikes or took the bus. Nonetheless, it couldn’t conceal the noble blood that naturally flowed in their veins.
Yun Ya knew that since high school, Yan Song had not taken a penny from his family. The prize money from various competitions and the scholarships from school were enough for his extravagance.
Soon, the dishes were served. Although Yun Ya had said something simple would suffice, complexity was made within simplicity, a full table of dishes dazzled her eyes.
After the meal, Yan Song took Yun Ya home. On their way back, Yun Ya saw the advertisements scrolling on the bus stop signs and on the LED screens of shopping malls.
At 8:50 tomorrow night, Jiangzhou Television Station’s major music talent show "The Most Beautiful Voice" will kick off with great fanfare. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novèlfire.net
The photo of the four main mentors and the popular contestants were posted, among which the most eye-catching was a young man in all black with an explosive cool poise, head lowered slightly, one hand on the guitar, exuding a sense of rebellious explosive power, captioned with the title — "Genius youth."
Following him was the profile of a young girl in a fluttering white dress, hazy and mysterious, making one even more curious, captioned — "Soul Singer."
Waiting for the red light, Yun Ya watched the concept trailer played on the LED screen of the shopping mall, charming little love songs, softly ethereal classic covers, effortlessly capturing people’s souls.
Yan Song followed her gaze to the musical program trailer. He wasn’t interested in these things, so he glanced at it and then looked away.
"Remember to watch tomorrow night."
Yan Song raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"There will be a surprise," Yun Ya said with a smirk.
As the green light came on, the car slowly moved in the traffic queue.
"That’s how it is, I failed to protect the young lady, I ask madam to punish me," Li Nan bowed his head, his hands involuntarily tightened beneath his sleeves.
The atmosphere in the hospital room was suffocating, almost too much to breath, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead...
After a while, the woman’s gentle and lovely voice rose: "You indeed deserve death."
Li Nan’s heart gave a thumping leap.
"Do you know why you deserve death?"
Li Nan bowed his head even lower, "I failed to protect the young lady...."
Li Nan was startled, he looked up in surprise.
The woman sitting on the couch had a soft gaze that inexplicably tightened one’s heart.
"Your mistake was not advising the young lady in time, letting that girl play you around. You deserve this outcome," she said.
Wasn’t the lady the most concerned about her daughter? Why now would she...
"She needs to learn a lesson. If this continues, the Ye family won’t be enough for her to stir up trouble. However, this Ji Yun Ya really has some skills," she said, frowning slightly as she carefully reminisced.
