"Why didn’t you invite Sister Yixue to come back with you?" As soon as Ye Qiu returned home, Ye Wang eagerly asked, not just with disappointment but also with blame towards her elder sister.
"Why would I bring her back?" Ye Qiu didn’t even look at him. Although Cheng Yixue’s Secret Technique was starting to take effect, if Ye Wang weren’t so foolish, he wouldn’t be so bewitched.
"Aren’t you two best friends?"
"You don’t stand a chance."
"What?" Ye Wang was stunned, not understanding the meaning in Ye Qiu’s words.
"Cheng Yixue has many admirers around her, and each of them is outstanding. You’re just a high schooler with poor grades, a weakling. What chance do you think you have?"
"I’m not a weakling." No man likes to hear such an evaluation and immediately protests angrily.
"Then tell me, besides having money, what other strengths do you have?" Ye Qiu countered.
"I..."
"Can’t think of any, right? Generally, women have a hard time liking someone younger than them. You’re so immature. If I were Cheng Yixue, with so many excellent pursuers around me, some of whom are rich, why would I choose you? Because you’re slow-witted and act cute? Which girl actually likes cute guys these days? If something happens, would a woman have to protect you? Look at your frail shoulders, what can you bear?" Ye Qiu mockingly said, making Ye Wang blush with embarrassment.
"I’ll grow up." Ye Wang retorted defiantly.
"Will that take ten or twenty years? Pfft... By then, the flowers will have withered!"
"What does it matter to you? You don’t have to be sarcastic here."
"You’re my younger brother, and Cheng Yixue is my best friend; how could it not concern me? After all, besides our parents, you two are the closest people to me, so of course, I hope you both do well." Ye Qiu sighed, worried, wrinkling her brow.
Ye Wang was skeptical, "Are you really concerned about me? Are you truly doing this for my good?"
"Why else? Am I wasting my time talking to you?"
"Then, what should I do? How can I pursue Yixue?"
"You definitely can’t do it like this; you need a complete transformation."
"How do I transform?" Ye Wang became interested.
"First, you need to show Cheng Yixue that you’ve grown up, at least changing her perception of you as just a younger brother."
"How do I change that?"
"I’m good friends with Yixue, and you’re my brother; she naturally thinks of you as a younger brother. Unless you leave for a while to transform yourself and then suddenly surprise her, if your image changes significantly during this time, she’ll certainly distinguish you from the previous image of a younger brother."
"Leave?" Ye Wang frowned, "Wouldn’t that mean I won’t see Yixue for a while?"
Ye Qiu seriously replied, "Do you think it’s better not to see her temporarily or for her to fall into another man’s arms?"
"I understand." Ye Wang gathered his courage, "Sister, what do you think I should do?"
How rare it is for this kid to call her sister warmly again, all thanks to that outsider Cheng Yixue.
"For the year of senior high, you should simply study abroad, work hard on your studies, and exercise. Mom and Dad are quite tall, yet you’re the shortest, just when these two years are crucial for growth. After a year, come back and surely surprise Cheng Yixue. But remember, just growing doesn’t cut it; your physical ability and brain need to keep up too."
"Isn’t that really tough? I’m not able to communicate smoothly with foreigners yet!" Ye Wang felt hesitant.
Ye Qiu ridiculed him, "You won’t even endure this little hardship for Cheng Yixue? Forget Yixue, even I look down on you. If you can’t, go early and enroll in a summer camp. Later, when you go on a honeymoon trip with Yixue, don’t tell me she’ll be translating for you?"
She painted a false vision for Ye Wang, and the kid actually started fantasizing.
He thought so too; if he had to rely on Yixue on outings later, wouldn’t he be ridiculed? Wouldn’t his image in Yixue’s mind fall further? Yixue’s so excellent; he definitely has to match her.
"I’ve decided; I’ll do as you said. I’ll go abroad and then come back to surprise Yixue."
"Good, you have this determination, that’s for the best. As for Yixue, I’ll keep an eye on her activity and won’t let other men have a chance during your time abroad." Ye Qiu genuinely looked like a caring elder sister, making Ye Wang almost moved to tears.
"Sis, thank you!"
"No need to thank me; I’m your sister. Everything I do is naturally for your good, so trust me more from now on, alright?"
"Okay."
"Then I’ll talk about convincing Mom and Dad at dinner."
"Going abroad? How can Wang’er manage alone?" First, there’s the hurdle of their mother, Lin Yan. Lin Yan is a somewhat biased mom; not favoring sons over daughters, but with the son being younger and Ye Qiu always displaying a strong personality, she naturally spoils the younger son a bit.
"Mom, the younger brother isn’t young anymore; he’s almost eighteen. Going abroad is for his good. Look at his current grades, if he participates in the college entrance exam here, he won’t even pass the second class line. With these grades, it’s hard to apply for good schools abroad too, so it’s better for him to go abroad now and apply for better studies."
Ye Qiu reasoned logically, but Ye Wang was a bit anxious. According to him, he would go abroad for at most one year, so how did it turn into applying for college abroad? Wouldn’t he miss Yixue for many years?
He urgently grabbed Ye Qiu’s arm, and Ye Qiu gave him a reassuring look.
"Wang’er, is this really what you want?" Lin Yan inquired, looking at Ye Wang with a sense that if he didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t let him.
"I willingly do it." Ye Wang nodded, "I have to grow up eventually, and I want to quickly mature to ease Dad’s worries."
"Hmm, not bad, that sounds promising." Ye Yuanan, who hadn’t spoken, finally smiled, "I’m glad you have this awareness. Have you decided which country to go to? Got any plans and arrangements?"
"To the United States, planning to go at the end of this month." Ye Wang replied according to what was discussed with Ye Qiu.
"Great, our family just happens to have a house there; we feel comfortable with you going there."
"I’ll take you there then." Lin Yan still felt uneasy, "I’ll also hire a nanny and a driver for you."
"Mom, you wouldn’t understand anything if you went. It’d be better if Dad went; isn’t Dad supposed to have business to discuss there?"
"How do you know?" Ye Yuanan asked in surprise.
"Dad, you forgot; you just mentioned it a couple of days ago."
"Indeed, there’s a business to discuss. Initially, I planned to send a business manager, but since your brother is going there too, I’ll make the trip myself!"
