“You are kind, filial, serious, and adorable,” Li Qingcang said with a smile. “Tianxin, you are the best.”
Then, he told Ye Tianxin a secret.
“You have to work hard and get into Capital University. If you get into Capital University, I will be your military training instructor.”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes widened in excitement. “Really?”
“Yes. I can’t wait to see you there.”
Ye Tianxin was delighted.
She looked sweet when she smiled. Li Qingcang felt as if he had drunk a glass of cold water in the middle of summer. His entire body felt cold.
“I will definitely make it to Capital University,” Ye Tianxin assured Li Qingcang. “I plan to hire a designer to help Grandmother and I fix our home. Grandmother is used to staying in a courtyard. I think she isn’t quite used to staying in the town’s government hostel.”
“Ask CEO Jing for help. Find a construction team from the capital. Guan Chenxi can help to supervise the construction works while you are at school. Perhaps you will be able to move in to your new home by the time the college entrance examinations are over.”
“Alright then.”
Li Qingcang did not tell Ye Tianxin that Jing Zhichen was already handling the matter.
Li Qingcang was always two steps ahead.
Ye Tianxin was about to go through an extremely crucial period of her life: the college entrance examinations. It was best not to bother her with such unimportant matters.
“Here is your birthday gift.”
The gift Li Qingcang had prepared for Ye Tianxin’s birthday was a fountain pen.
The fountain pen was one that Li Qingcang had treasured.
“I won this pen as a prize in a biology competition when I was studying at Capital University. I am giving it to you now, and I hope you never forget your goals and study hard.”
Ye Tianxin took the box that held the pen. She was so happy to receive something that Li Qingcang had treasured. ]
After lunch…
The two went to a movie theater.
Li Qingcang bought movie tickets, soda, and popcorn.
The two went inside the theater and watched a movie about brotherhood. The movie ended on a good note.
Ye Tianxin was very satisfied with the movie.
She knew that an unremarkable character in the movie would eventually become a megastar in the entertainment industry.
It was a little late by the time they left the movie theater.
Li Qingcang went to the presidential suite of the hotel and brought the things he had bought for Ye Tianxin to the car. Then, he went with Ye Tianxin back to the town of Jiameng.
Ye Tianxin leaned against the window as they traveled back home. She looked at the scenery sadly.
A voice in her heart was saying that she could not bear for Elder Brother Li to leave…
The SUV stopped outside Ye Tianxin’s rental flat.
Ye Tianxin got out of the car. She lifted her tiny face and looked up at Li Qingcang.
“Elder Brother Li, come upstairs,” Ye Tianxin invited. “I will make you some noodles.”
Li Qingcang reached out and patted Ye Tianxin’s head. “I will go with you upstairs.”
Li Qingcang had bought quite a lot of things, and he knew that Ye Tianxin would not be able to bring them up by herself. He went with Ye Tianxin upstairs. When they arrived at the stairwell, they met Di Shanshi’s mother.
Di Shanshi’s mother glanced at Ye Tianxin and then at Li Qingcang, who stood behind her. She did not say anything and just brushed past them.
“Chie…”
Guan Chenxi opened the door and saw Li Qingcang standing outside. She almost saluted him out of custom.
Ye Tianxin asked, puzzled, “Elder Sister Chenxi, did you just call Elder Brother Li ‘chief’?”
Guan Chenxi’s heart skipped a beat and replied, “That’s right. I saw an article about the chief in a military newspaper.”
