Chapter 428: Chapter 402: Visiting the Gracious Master (monthly ticket 300+ updates)

Second Brother had much more time than Yu Minglang. After concentrating on flying and completing his flying hours, he had plenty of time to rest. Being a pilot was different from other jobs; Minglang had to endure extreme exhaustion and push his limits continuously.

Pilots had a highly precise job. After completing their work, they had to rest, replenish their energy and maintain a good mood to ensure accurate flying for their next flight.

There’s no harm without comparison. Second Brother, who was in the midst of his renewed youth, started to display affection with Da Yi under Xiao Qian’s watchful eye.

Mother Yu gifted Da Yi a cellphone as a meeting gift. Although they had already met, this meeting had a different nature, hence the need to give something. The gift was chosen by Xiao Qian as it was practical.

At first, Da Yi adamantly refused to accept it. Only after much persuasion from Mother Yu did she reluctantly accept. Da Yi was different from Xiao Qian; Boss Qian didn’t hesitate to accept gifts from the people she liked, feeling confident that she could return the favor in the future. For those she didn’t like, she wouldn’t take their gifts even if they insisted. But Da Yi didn’t have the same self-confidence as Xiao Qian.

Da Yi always thought of herself as an ordinary, poor student. Although she had a boyfriend from a wealthy family now, she didn’t feel entitled to the Yu family’s money. It took Mother Yu and Xiao Qian’s persuasion and coercion for her to accept the gift.

However, seeing Da Yi cuddling under the blanket while texting, Xiao Qian slightly regretted choosing that gift.

Wasn’t this tormenting her?

There had been no news from Xiao Qiang for three days. She couldn’t reach him through calls or texts. She had written a letter but it should have just been delivered. She had no idea when she would see him.

If you think that Second Brother Yu’s pursuit was simple, you’d be naive.

He didn’t just send texts; he went on dates, too. Bringing their child along, as long as Da Yi had no classes, Yu Mingyi would come and pick her up with Panpan, who was rapidly developing her language skills.

A good family atmosphere provided great security for the child.

On another torturous morning, Xiao Qian had just opened her eyes when she saw Dong Yi rushing out of the toilet. She ran to the bedside and grabbed the cellphone on the pillow.

“Ah, it’s out of battery…” Dong Yi said with a hint of annoyance.

“Just charge it up then.” Xiao Qian yawned and got up while Shi Touyu still lay in bed, enjoying her lazy sleep.

“I can’t do that. I made plans with Second Brother to take Panpan on a spring outing in the park. I got up late, and they must be there by now. Panpan must be so anxious.”

Xiao Qian watched Da Yi rush out of the dormitory at lightning speed. She shook her head. What was the big deal about a few minutes? Women in love always get nervous over the tiniest things. When was the last time she got so flustered over something about Yu Xiaoqiang?

Just as she finished thinking, her cellphone rang. Xiao Qian picked it up as quickly as possible, hoping to hear from Yu Ming Lang, who she hadn’t heard from in a while. Was he done with his work?

However, upon seeing Second Brother Yu’s number on the screen, Boss Qian felt as if there was an invisible slap smacking her in the face.

She deliberately took her time before answering the call after tens of seconds.

“Did Da Yi get up?”

“She’s already out and will be there soon.”

“Oh.”

Second Brother Yu hung up as soon as he got the answer.

Xiao Qian held the phone, her mouth twitching. Couldn’t he have asked more courteously, perhaps asking what she wanted to eat and if he could bring something back for her?

It was simply incredible that a man who didn’t understand social etiquette managed to win over her beloved apprentice…

“Yellow rapeseed flowers and busy madmen; spring is indeed the season of manic disorder outbreaks. Look at all of them.” Xiao Qian mumbled to herself.

“Good morning, Boss Qian~” Shi Touyu woke up, yawned, sat up, and blew a kiss at Xiao Qian. “Boss Qian, did you just mention rapeseed flowers? Do you want to eat them for lunch?”

“No, I mean when the rapeseed flowers turn yellow, we see many mentally excited people. As the ancient proverb goes, yellow rapeseed flowers and busy madmen signify spring, cats meowing, and even stones hopping three times.”

Xiao Qian playfully mocked the thriving relationship between Da Yi and Second Brother Yu.

However, every spring, she would diagnose many patients with manic disorder. It was a fact that spring was the outbreak season for the disorder.

You don’t have class this morning, right? Do you want to come with me to collect some debts?” Shi Touyu flipped through the small booklet under her pillow. Most of the debts had been collected, just a few remaining.

“I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I won’t go with you. How much money and stuff did you lend out, anyway?”

There had been a significant change in Shi Touyu’s personality after she returned from vacation. She made a list of all the “friends” who borrowed money or things from her during the previous semester. She spent these first few days of the new semester just going around collecting debts one by one.

“Most of the money I lent out has been returned. Now I just have to get back a few romance novels. I borrowed those from the bookstore, and there’s a deposit on them, so I need to ask for them back.” Shi Touyu’s values were different now; she wouldn’t lend a cent to anyone outside her dorm room.

“What is there to read about those overbearing CEOs in the novels? Their temperaments are in line with the symptoms of manic disorder patients. Only innocent young people like you are deceived. What’s the point of living with a person with manic disorder? It’s nothing but constant annoyance.”

Xiao Qian complained while changing her clothes.

“Boss Qian, what are you going to do this morning?”

“I have some things to take care of. I won’t be back for lunch; you can eat in the canteen.” She recalled her master, Professor Liu, should be returning home today, right?

Professor Liu had a house in the area but never lived there. Outsiders couldn’t understand why she gave up a residence with such a prime location to live in the simple barracks-style building for school staff. But Xiao Qian understood.

That house was filled with memories of the deceased. A family of four had once lived there happily until Lone Wolf’s death shattered it, and the professor moved out to live in the barrack-style building.

In total, Professor Liu and Yu Minglang’s uncle had raised two children together. Their eldest was Lone Wolf Liu Shuang; the younger one was also a son who should be in high school according to their current age. Xiao Qian didn’t know him well as she had only seen him a few times in her past life.

As Xiao Qian stood at the door of the professor’s house and heard the loud noises coming from inside, she frowned.

Someone was blasting rock music inside, loud enough to be heard throughout the row of barracks-style buildings. From what Xiao Qian knew, Professor Liu was a cultured person, and this didn’t seem like something she would do.

Xiao Qian knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. With the loud music, it was normal that her knocking wouldn’t be heard.

Xiao Qian kept knocking persistently for a long time, but no one answered the door. What was going on?
