Chapter Ninety-Four: An Unforgettable Person

The taxi's speed was truly disappointing; the Rolls-Royce ahead was simply too fast.

"Brother, could you please speed up?"

"Buddy, I've done my best. My car is just not as good as the one in front. You drive.

" Duan Tianya watched disappointedly as their car rounded the corner, while the car in front had already turned another corner.

"Follow, follow.

" The Rolls-Royce disappeared around the corner. "Damn it!

" Duan Tianya punched the car hard.

"Buddy, take it easy. This old car can't withstand your friendly greeting! Where are we going now?

" "Whatever, go wherever you want!

" Duan Tianya was a little annoyed. He closed his eyes, recalling that look.

*Slap!* He slapped his thigh; he remembered who that girl was!

Was it her?

The buildings outside the window were rushing by.

Duan Tianya's thoughts seemed to drift back eight years...

Those were days he cherished deeply.

He was ten years old then,

in fourth grade.

The afternoon before summer vacation began, his homeroom teacher called him to the office.

"There's a money-making opportunity you'd like to seize," she said.

"What opportunity?

" Duan Tianya asked curiously.

Although he wasn't old, he knew his master's alms-begging was arduous, practically akin to begging for food. He often faced scorn and ridicule.

"Well," the teacher explained, "the daughter of the county's Agricultural Bank manager is a decent student, but she falls short of her parents' expectations. Her parents are my classmates. Yesterday, her father came to the school to ask me to tutor his daughter and improve her skills. But as you know, my wife is about to give birth, and she can't be without me for a moment, so I called you here.

" "The teacher wants me to tutor that girl?" the teacher replied .

"Yes," the teacher said, "your grades are almost always 100, of course you can teach her." They've agreed with me. It's for a month, 300 yuan, including room and board. Think it over and then give me your answer.

"No need to think about it, teacher. I'd be more than happy to have such a good opportunity with me. Just tell me when it starts.

" The teacher was also very pleased with this decisive student.

"I'll take you after your final exams tomorrow. Just bring a few changes of clothes!

" "Okay, thank you, teacher.

" The teacher nodded. "It's alright. Her parents are my classmates. They'll be working during the summer vacation. You'll just be spending this month with the little girl. She's only eight years old and in second grade. You can talk to her about things she didn't understand in class, teach her to write compositions, and help her with her summer homework. You can also do your own homework while helping her. It won't take up much of your time; it's a win-win situation.

" Duan Tianya happily left the office.

The next evening, Duan Tianya went to the bank manager's house with the teacher.

The meal was very lavish; it was clear the hostess was a good cook.

Eight dishes and a soup. Duan Tianya didn't see the little girl that evening; the adults said she had gone to her maternal grandmother's house.

The bank manager was a man of few words, very authoritative, and had the air of a bank manager.

The teacher, while catching up with the bank manager, also lavishly praised Duan Tianya's achievements: perfect scores in every subject, a first prize in the national math Olympiad, and he would represent China at the 26th World Mathematical Olympiad in Geneva next year; a first prize in a national essay competition; and he even knew martial arts.

Everyone loves to hear boasts. At first, the bank manager hadn't paid much attention to Duan Tianya, only asking a few perfunctory questions. But after the teacher's praise, the couple became very interested in him, taking turns asking questions, with the teacher playing a supporting role, continuing to shower him with praise.

"What? Many of the school's veteran teachers say this kid is the smartest student in the school's 50-year history! With his mathematical talent, he's guaranteed admission to Peking University or Tsinghua University!"

Duan Tianya realized the importance of boasting from that moment on. In his opinion, these things were all normal, but when the teacher connected them all, it became extraordinary. The bank manager's wife started serving him food, the bank manager's gaze softened, and gradually, the bank manager's wife's gaze became increasingly gentle.

It was as if a beautiful flower had suddenly bloomed on Duan Tianya's face.

…

After dinner, the teacher left. Before leaving, in front of the bank manager and his wife, the teacher instructed, "Duan Tianya, give some of your things to Qianqian. Her family won't mistreat you.

" Duan Tianya nodded, "I understand.

" After the teacher left, the bank manager's wife led Duan Tianya to a rather elegantly decorated room, pointed to a bed, and said, "You can sleep here. This is our guest room. Just tell me if you need anything. From now on, you can call me Aunt Huang."

"Qianqian will be back tomorrow morning. We have to go to work tomorrow, so you can stay home and supervise and guide her. We require her to finish all her summer homework within a month. Next month, I'm taking her to her aunt's house in Hong Kong. If possible, you can teach her how to write good compositions," Duan Tianya nodded.

Aunt Huang turned away with satisfaction, then suddenly turned back. "Oh, by the way, we have a piano at home. I noticed your fingers are very long and slender. If you like, Qianqian can teach you to play the piano.

" Duan Tianya remembered the large piano he had seen as soon as he entered the house, and smiled for the first time in their home. "Okay, if Qianqian is willing to teach me, I'd love to learn. Thank you, Aunt Huang.

" Aunt Huang smiled sweetly. "You don't need to thank me. Your teacher told us about your situation, and we all think you're a very promising child. We felt an instant connection with you the moment we met. Don't be shy in our house, okay?

" "Okay," Duan Tianya nodded.

"You must be tired after these few days of exams!"

Duan Tianya looked up and carefully examined the aunt. To be honest, this aunt was really young; her child was eight years old, but she looked like she was twenty. Her skin was very white and delicate, as if it could drip water at any moment. Especially her eyes—they were very gentle and kind. Her lips weren't thin, giving her a warm and approachable air, which made Duan Tianya, who had lost his family at a young age, feel a strong sense of kinship.

Aunt Huang, seeing Duan Tianya staring at her face, was very curious. "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at my face so intently?

" Duan Tianya gave a strange smile. "Auntie, you're really, really beautiful. You're the most beautiful aunt I've ever seen."

"So young and already so talkative. Who taught you that?

" But from the overflowing smile on her face, it was clear she enjoyed Duan Tianya's sweet words. What woman doesn't like being praised for her beauty,

especially by a ten-year-old boy?

"Am I as pretty as a movie star?"

No, even prettier than movie stars.

You're lying this time! I'm nowhere near as beautiful as you say. Alright, I'm not listening to your sweet talk anymore. I'm going to take a shower first, and you can shower after I'm done.

Duan Tianya was excited looking at their large bookshelf. So many beautiful books: *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, *Journey to the West*, *Jin Ping Mei*, *Grimm's Fairy Tales*, *Andersen's Fairy Tales*, *The Generals of the Yang Family*… so many! He'd only ever seen the titles of many of these books before.

A strange excitement welled up inside him; coming here was definitely the right choice.

He didn't know how much time had passed when, as he was engrossed in *Grimm's Fairy Tales*, Aunt Huang walked in wearing a bathrobe. "Tianya, go take a shower!"

she said. The bathrobe was actually quite transparent, very thin, almost so thin that you could vaguely see her two full breasts. Duan Tianya blushed and blinked as he watched her comb her hair.

Aunt Huang noticed Duan Tianya's strange gaze, pinched his ear, and said, "Go wash up, the water's already been used up.

" Duan Tianya, blushing, ran to the bathroom.

Lying in the warm water felt comfortable, but for some reason, thinking of Aunt Huang caused his penis to become erect and hard as iron. He was a little scared and tried to pull it down, but it wouldn't obey him, becoming even more proud and erect.

After several attempts, Duan Tianya knew he couldn't control it, so he gave up. He wondered why he hadn't felt this way before, why his penis hadn't been erect before. Aunt Huang was really beautiful; was it because of her? Why did his mouth go dry just thinking about her appearance and her body? Why wasn't she angry when he said things that seemed inappropriate? He hadn't noticed at first, but her figure was actually very good, giving people a very comfortable and exciting feeling. What was all this for?

He had no one to ask. If only he had someone to ask. He also strangely discovered that one of his nipples had started to hurt, in waves, especially when his penis was erect.

What was happening to him? Was he sick?

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's nothing serious. I've hardly ever been sick since I was a child, so how could I be sick?

" "Right, I still have the Qigong my master taught me. My master told me, 'Where there is free flow, there is no pain; where there is pain, there is no free flow.' The pain I feel must be due to poor blood circulation. Okay, I'll practice Qigong right here.

" Without further ado, after circulating the true Qi stored in his dantian three times, his pain noticeably subsided.

Just as he was feeling pleased, Aunt Huang called from outside, "What's wrong? Tianya? Haven't you finished washing for so long?"

"Alright, alright, almost done."

Strangely enough, Aunt Huang's calls actually made his manhood erect again.

Duan Tianya didn't care anymore. He quickly pulled on his underwear, grabbed his undershirt, and ran out of the bathroom, heading straight for the bed Aunt Huang had put him on.

He closed his eyes, trying to gather his thoughts.

A gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"Tianya, bring me the undershirt you changed out of.

" Duan Tianya sat bolt upright in bed, as if startled.

He looked at Aunt Huang strangely.

Aunt Huang looked at Duan Tianya, whose eyes were wide and face was covered in sweat.

She asked gently, "What's wrong? Did I scare you?

" "No," Duan Tianya swallowed, looking at the fullness only 20 centimeters from his eyes.

His direct gaze made Aunt Huang a little annoyed.

She picked up the undershirt from the edge of the bed, tapped her head with her finger, and said, half-jokingly, half-angrily, "Little devil, I'm turning off the light. Go to sleep!

" Duan Tianya, not knowing where the courage came from, blurted out a sentence the moment she turned off the light.

"Can you turn it off in a little while?

" Aunt Huang's hand, which had reached for the light switch, withdrew.

"What's wrong? Is there something else?

" Duan Tianya suddenly asked very seriously, "Aunt Huang, why are you so nice to me?"

Chapter Ninety-Five: A Kind of Love Called Compulsion

Aunt Huang blinked her bright eyes and smiled, "I'm also an orphan, and no one has cared for me since I was little, so it's understandable that I care about you! Besides, you're very outstanding, so young and already so excellent, who wouldn't like that?

Help Qianqian well, and Auntie will take good care of you!

" Duan Tianya nodded vigorously, "Auntie, Tianya won't let you down.

" "Okay, then go to sleep!

" ...

A sudden stop brought Duan Tianya back to reality.

What happened?

Look, isn't that the car from earlier?

Duan Tianya turned his head and saw the black Rolls-Royce quietly parked in a parking space outside a bar.

Duan Tianya was excited and opened the car door.

Money!

Duan Tianya politely handed over a large bill.

The music in the bar was very loud, making Duan Tianya's ears hurt a little; he really didn't like this kind of environment.

Too noisy!

It was crowded inside. After squeezing in and out countless times, Duan Tianya finally managed to squeeze into a large hall.

He saw her.

A guy who looked like a mob boss was sitting there, looking very serious.

Huang Qian sat on the sofa, taking a cigar from her purse.

She lit it with a snap, exhaling

a graceful smoke ring.

The mob boss had two women on either side of him, licking their faces with his tongue.

One of the women, perhaps too excited, shoved the mob boss with a smile, "You're annoying!"

With a slap, the woman was knocked to the ground.

"Damn it, do you want to live?!

" "Get out!

" "Huang Qian, you come here!

Take off my shoes!

" Huang Qian glanced at him coldly.

She didn't move.

With a crash, a tall glass shattered on the floor.

"Are you going to take them off or not?" "You won't take them off, huh? Your mother's skin is so smooth, almost as smooth as yours. Should I order my brothers to have a collective good time tonight?

" The haughty Huang Qian squinted at the vicious Kun Ge, wishing she could stab this damned beast to death. But thinking of her mother still in their hands, she felt utterly hopeless.

Watching this once so clean girl lower her noble head to take off the shoes of this trash before her, Duan Tianya felt truly miserable. He wanted to immediately smash a few beer bottles over his head.

But he restrained himself.

Duan Tianya saw that Huang Qian's face was cold and devoid of warmth, displaying a sorrow deeper than death.

She was completely different from the girl he had met at school. Back then, she was aloof and reserved, but still had a trace of warmth. Now, she felt like an ice statue, unmoved even by the music in the bar at 120 decibels.

"Huang Qian, are you giving me the cold shoulder? I told you that if you willingly agree to be with me, I won't make things difficult for your mother. I'll let her live in a villa and even cover your tuition. Isn't that great?

" A deep sadness suddenly appeared on Huang Qian's cold face.

She looked up into Lang Kun's eyes.

"Can you really keep your promise?"

"Of course. I'm a big shot in the Beijing underworld. Why would I lie to you? Actually, it's all your fault for going to my martial arts gym that day, and for letting me see you. You don't know how I've been thinking about you for a month, unable to eat or sleep. It's not a joke to tell the brothers, but since I started out at ten, I've never been so attracted to any woman. I don't want to make things difficult for your mother, but I really can't think of a better way to get you to agree. This is all we underworld people do.

" Huang Qian looked up blankly at the chaotic ceiling, sighed deeply, and closed her beautiful eyes.

"I promise you!"

Chapter Ninety-Six: Encounter At her most desolate moment, Duan Tianya

's heart suddenly ached.

"Boss, come here!" Lang Kun shouted.

The boss calmly walked towards him.

"Get all these people out of here. Just say we're closing. I want to sing a proper song with my sweetheart.

" "Um, Brother Kun, this isn't a good idea. My little bar can't afford this kind of disruption. I need to make a living!

" "How about you pay for all the drinks tonight? I'll find you a few more girls so you can have a good time.

" "How can that be?

" "You think I don't have money? *Thud!* Three thick stacks of bills were slammed onto the coffee table.

" "That's not what I meant," the bar owner quickly apologized. "This is a small bar, it relies on these regular customers. If I drive them all away, what business can I do?

" Lang Kun's face darkened. "I don't care. If you don't kick them out, I'll smash this bar and make sure you have no business left.

" "Brothers, let's do it!

" "Yes!"

Twenty guys were about to smash things up!

The bar owner roared, "Anyone who dares to smash something, I'll smash their head!"

He then went behind the counter and pulled out a rifle. *Click*, it was cocked!

The sound engineer turned off the music, and everyone in the dance floor ran out like their lives depended on it. In an instant, everyone was gone, not even a waiter!

Only Duan Tianya remained.

Lang Kun, gritting his gold teeth, laughed loudly. Suddenly, his wolf-like eyes flashed. "What, not bad, you've got guts!" He grabbed the muzzle of the rifle and pressed it against his forehead. "I'll see you fire! I want to see you fire! Today I'll make you fire! If you don't dare, I'll make you crawl between my legs!

" The twenty guys laughed loudly.

They all thought the little boss was just bluffing!

Duan Tianya suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He clearly saw the bar owner's eyes suddenly turn extremely sinister.

Amidst everyone's laughter, *bang*.

The rifle fired.

Amidst everyone's shock, Duan Tianya immediately rolled off the floor, landing under the sofa where Huang Qian was sitting, and pulled her off.

As he fell, he kicked the sofa towards the shooter.

The shooter fired at both of them, bullets hitting the sofa.

Gunfire continued, screams rang out, and burly men fell one after another.

Duan Tianya, holding the trembling Huang Qian, counted in his mind: five, six…

The remaining men desperately ran outside, the bar owner constantly reloading and firing… eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one. Suddenly, Duan Tianya shoved Huang Qian aside and, from behind the sofa, leaped into the air and kicked. The bar owner's gun was also extended.

Duan Tianya roared like a lion, delivering a powerful overhead kick. He snapped the gun in two, and as the bar owner's eyes widened, he delivered a horizontal kick. The bar owner's consciousness vanished. He collapsed to the floor with a thud. He grabbed Huang Qian, who was already in a daze. "What are you still looking at? Aren't you going to leave? Are you waiting for the police to arrest you?" Duan Tianya pulled Huang Qian past the bar where the bodies lay scattered… After running for an unknown amount of time, Huang Qian suddenly shook off Duan Tianya's hand. "I'm not running anymore. " Duan Tianya looked at her, somewhat surprised. She looked at him too. "Who are you? " Duan Tianya suddenly laughed, not just laughed, but laughed heartily. "Don't laugh! " Duan Tianya still laughed, but much softer! "Do you recognize me now? " Huang Qian looked at him strangely. "Aren't you that pervert who even groped people on the stairs?" Duan Tianya tilted his head. "You really don't remember? " Huang Qian blinked her cold eyes. "Do I know you? " "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I have things to do. Is there anything in this world more important than your mother's safety?" Huang Qian was stunned! "How do you know about my mother?" Duan Tianya smiled wickedly. "Of course I heard it! " Huang Qian was puzzled. How could this person know so much about her affairs? But thinking of her mother being held captive by those people, in danger at any moment, she didn't have time to think about it further. Huang Qian seemed to be talking to herself, "What should I do? " "Do you know where Auntie is? " "Of course I know! But I can't do anything about it. They said if I call the police, they'll kill my mother. But what good is knowing where she is? I can't do anything to those people." "You can't do anything, but that doesn't mean I can't. You can't fight, but that doesn't mean I can't. " Huang Qian's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. "Your skills seem quite good. If you agree to save my mother, I'll do anything you ask. " Duan Tianya's eyes became hazy and ambiguous. "Including offering myself in return? " Huang Qian's eyes seemed to turn angry. "How could you be like this!" "Is this the behavior of a gentleman? " "I'm sorry, but in my mind, there's nothing but a gentleman. I don't care about the morality of my actions; I only seek to achieve my goal. You want me to risk my life to save your mother? Why would I do it without a benefit? People say, 'To die under the flowers is to die a romantic death.' I'm taking a huge risk to save someone; of course, there must be a worthwhile reason, right? " Huang Qian's eyes turned cold again, and she nodded weakly. "Whatever! As long as you can save my mother, I agree."

Duan Tianya suddenly felt like a bastard, an utter bastard. How could he treat Qianqian like that? Even though he was just teasing her, he felt incredibly pathetic for saying such a thing.

But then, Duan Tianya suddenly enjoyed this feeling, for some reason.

Although he hadn't seen this girl for so many years, she still felt very familiar. Her angry expression was what he loved to see when he was ten.

Even after all these years,

he still liked it.

The two arrived at the entrance of an old warehouse.

Huang Qian stuck her head out, trying to rush inside.

Duan Tianya grabbed her.

"Where are you going?

What good will it do you go in!

" Huang Qian was speechless.

"You just wait here. If I don't come out in five minutes, call the police!

" "Understand?

" Wait, Huang Qian suddenly grabbed Duan Tianya's hand.

Duan Tianya smiled gently, "You'd better hope I don't come back. I'm back, because I'm going to consummate our marriage."

For some reason, Huang Qian, despite hearing what should have been angrily words, showed no displeasure whatsoever.

Instead, she said worriedly, "Be careful," and released him.

Duan Tianya was torn between joy and sorrow. Was this still the same little girl who insisted on pouring him a glass of milk?

He had encountered her again.

At the time when she needed him most.

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Wounded by Love

Duan Tianya pressed his head against the door.

"Haha, brothers, the boss told us not to touch her, how can we stand it! The boss has bad taste! This woman is much more attractive than that little girl! Look at her skin, it's so tender it could drip water, my saliva is constantly flowing... Oh well, let's all the brothers here just take her, it's not fair to punish everyone, the boss won't blame us too much, don't you think?

" Haha, haha, bursts of lewd laughter followed. "Okay, okay, we'll listen to you!"

Duan Tianya roared and burst through the door.

Inside, seven or eight sleazy thugs were groveling around a woman stripped down to her underwear, leering and grinning.

Hearing someone burst in, they all turned around in surprise.

They saw a young man with an extremely evil aura walking towards them.

His eyes were almost murderous.

Several of them were stunned, involuntarily taking a step back.

But after realizing he was alone,

their courage grew.

"Who are you?

" Duan Tianya, seeing his respected and beloved Aunt Huang suddenly stripped down to her underwear by these scumbags, felt his anger overflow.

His expression suddenly softened.

"I'm sent by the King of Hell to take lives.

" Laughter followed. "You? Brothers, let's cripple this arrogant brat first, then we can enjoy this delicate beauty.

" Duan Tianya bent down, picked up a brick, and roared as he charged forward.

In an instant, the sound of bones breaking echoed continuously. He enjoyed the feeling of destruction, his killing frenzy intensifying, his eyes turning bloodshot.

The agonizing screams reverberated throughout the warehouse.

"Mom!" Huang Qian burst in unnoticed.

Duan Tianya tried to pull her away, but a man grabbed his leg.

A crew-cut man, licking his lips, held a knife against her jaw.

"You're ruthless, I admire you. Keep killing! Keep killing! I've been in the underworld for so many years. I

've never seen anyone kill like this. I can't beat you, but before I die, I'll take someone down with me. I won't be lonely on the road to the underworld!

" Duan Tianya kicked aside the restraints and approached him with unusual calm.

"Let her go. I'll agree to any conditions you want.

" "Haha! You think you can fool me, a three-year-old? You think you'll spare me?

" Duan Tianya laughed, a captivating laugh. "Actually, you and I have no grudge against each other. Why would I take your life?"

"I killed them because they didn't give me a chance to talk to them properly. If I didn't take their lives, they would take mine.

But you're different. You have leverage! You have the power to negotiate with me. Don't act impulsively. Why are you always thinking about dying, like a woman?

" "Let her go, and I guarantee you can leave here safely. I'll even give you a large sum of money so you can leave this country happily, somewhere no one can find you.

" "Nonsense! A place no one can find is paradise. I won't fall for your trick.

" Duan Tianya was already very close to him. "Is that so? I want to save you, give you a chance to live. Why are you so stubborn?" "Don't be so stubborn. Stubborn people usually don't live very happily.

" "I'm telling the truth." "

Don't come any closer!" Flat-headed seemed terrified. "If you come any closer, I'll kill her.

" "What do you want in return to let her go?"

"You, you, you have to let me stab you a few times in the leg before I'll believe your sincerity.

" Duan Tianya nodded. "Okay, deal, I'll grant your request.

" A barely perceptible cruelty flashed in the crew-cut man's eyes!

"Fine, you just need to let me stab you three times in the leg, and I'll believe you. You can't leave, and of course, you can't hurt me! "

Duan Tianya stretched out his leg. "Okay!

" "I hope you keep your word.

" Huang Qian didn't know what Duan Tianya was thinking. She thought, if he were stabbed a few times, how could they possibly survive?

The instant the crew-cut man handed over the knife, Huang Qian bit his other hand hard.

With a scream, the knife was returned and plunged towards Huang Qian's heart.

In that split second of lightning, Duan Tianya suddenly lunged forward, blocking between the two.

The knife plunged deep into Duan Tianya's back.

Aunt Huang screamed, "No!"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Her Prince.

Duan Tianya gritted his teeth, swung his iron fist, and with a powerful slam, sent the crew-cut man flying.

The knife was pulled out at the same moment the crew-cut man was thrown.

A spurt of blood gushed out.

Duan Tianya closed his eyes and used his other hand to press several acupoints on his back.

The crew-cut man landed eight meters away without a sound.

Huang Qian rushed over and knelt before him.

Although the acupoints had been stopped, the wound was too large, and blood continued to flow. Aunt Huang, disregarding that she wasn't dressed, rushed to support Duan Tianya, urging, "Quick, call 120!"

Although Duan Tianya's blood was still flowing uncontrollably, he hadn't lost consciousness.

Suddenly, he forced his eyes open. "No, no! No! You, don't...

" "You, you get out, get out of here!" He practically pushed the two of them out, poured out the gasoline from the warehouse

, took out a lighter, and with a whoosh, set it on fire...

Duan Tianya staggered out...

When Duan Tianya woke up, he found soft sunlight streaming through the window, shining on his face, warm and bright. Huang Qian was asleep on the blanket beside the bed.

Duan Tianya gently stroked Huang Qian's soft hair.

An indescribable warmth filled his heart. How could this girl have become so cold? She wasn't like this before.

Memories took him back to that summer eight years ago.

That summer, as radiant as flowers.

Duan Tianya was explaining homework to Qianqian. Duan Tianya was explaining very seriously, but Qianqian wasn't listening very attentively, propping her head up and staring blankly at Duan Tianya. Duan Tianya felt strange and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did you understand everything I told you?

" Qianqian's smile bloomed like a flower. "No, Brother Tianya, you're really handsome! I think you'll be even better looking than those movie stars when you grow up.

" Duan Tianya blinked and put down his textbook. "Really? Am I as handsome as you say?

" "I'm not lying to you. Even my mom says you'll grow up to be a handsome man!

" Duan Tianya suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face. "Did your mom really say that?

" "Yes, she really did. Would I lie to you?

" Duan Tianya touched her face. "You're pretty too. You, my little princess, will definitely grow up to be a great beauty!

" "Really?" Qianqian's eyes widened with anticipation. "Will I become a great beauty? That's wonderful!

" Duan Tianya frowned strangely. "Is being beautiful that important to you?"

"No, I just hope I'm good-looking so I won't embarrass you when I grow up!"

Duan Tianya laughed. "How could that be? You, this beautiful little swan, will surely grow into a beautiful princess."

Qianqian suddenly blinked her clear, pure eyes. "Legend has it that princesses always marry princes, right?"

Duan Tianya seemed thoughtful. "Generally speaking, yes!

" Qianqian pouted and asked, "Then will you be a prince?"

Duan Tianya chuckled. "What kind of prince am I? I was born poor. The person who took me in was a monk. I probably won't do well in school and will have to go back to the temple to become a monk. Becoming a monk is probably no problem, but becoming a prince will have to wait until my next life.

" Qianqian seemed very serious, staring at Duan Tianya's face for a while before saying, "Whether you're a prince or not, I hope you can become my prince.

" Duan Tianya was a little stunned. He wasn't very old; he seemed to understand some things, but many more things he didn't. What

he really couldn't understand was how this beautiful little girl, like Snow White from the legend, could fall for him, a poor boy with nothing.

Qianqian was a little disappointed with Duan Tianya's performance, and pouted again. "Did you understand what I told you?"

Duan Tianya nodded as if he understood.

"Qianqian, thank you. But you should study what I taught you first. Your mom is coming back tonight to check on you.

" "No? We can talk about that later. I want you to answer me: you can only love me, not anyone else.

" Duan Tianya shook his head helplessly. "How could I love anyone else? There's no one else here but you!

" Qianqian persisted. "I told you to say it, so say it!

" Duan Tianya was getting a headache from her. "Okay, okay, I'll only love you.

" Before Duan Tianya could figure out what was going on, Qianqian tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Because of the Past, He No Longer Thinks. Duan
Tianya touched his lips, which Qianqian had just kissed.

He didn't know what to say for a moment! He just stared blankly at Qianqian.

"How do you feel? How does it feel?" Qianqian asked Duan Tianya, blinking her bright eyes.

"Yes, it feels good! You little brat, how dare you molest me! I'll teach you a lesson!" Duan Tianya's face flushed, and he felt he had to grab her. He reached out to embrace her!

"No! A pervert is here...

" came a silvery child's voice!

Qianqian ultimately couldn't escape Duan Tianya's embrace.

He didn't know what to do. He just felt he couldn't bear it without holding her.

Qianqian was held tightly, struggling to breathe.

"Can you be gentler? You're holding me so tightly I can barely breathe!

" "Let me go, I'll show you something good."

Qianqian pulled Duan Tianya into her parents' bedroom.

She took out a disc from a drawer.

When the disc started playing, Duan Tianya thought she was going to show him a movie…

When a beautiful woman appeared on the screen, standing naked in front of a man and facing the audience, Duan Tianya's mouth dropped open. He suddenly felt his cheeks involuntarily puff up. His face turned red.

His ears burned.

The man in the movie slowly shed all his burdens.

When the two became entangled, Duan Tianya felt himself swallow hard.

Qianqian glanced at him. "How is it? Pretty good, right?

" Duan Tianya stared wide-eyed at this girl who was two years younger than him, truly at a loss for words!

Looking at Qianqian's already flushed face, he licked his lips. "Little girl, why aren't you studying properly? No wonder you can't get perfect scores; you're always thinking about these things!

" "Tch, no way! I was just showing it to you out of kindness, and you're making fun of me!"

Qianqian stammered, "You...you won't do what you see in the movies, will you?"

Duan Tianya glanced up at the movie, scratched his head for a moment, then licked her neck. "No, I heard that can cause pregnancy. If you, a primary school student, get pregnant, your father will kill me!

" Qianqian seemed a little disappointed. "He wouldn't dare! I'll protect you. He won't do anything to you! My dad loves me the most.

" "No, let's do that when you grow up! When you grow up, I'll definitely agree if you're willing!

" Qianqian slowly closed her eyes, nodded, and said, "You have to keep your word. Remember what you said, you must wait for me to grow up!

" ...

Duan Tianya returned to reality. Was the girl in front of him the same little girl, the one who told him he must wait for her to grow up? Did she still remember all those past events, or had she already forgotten them?

"You're awake?" Aunt Huang came in carrying a jar. "This is my stewed ginseng and old chicken soup. You should eat more. Dr. Zhang said you need to replenish your strength; you lost too much blood!"

Duan Tianya was puzzled. Who was Dr. Zhang?

"Him? He's Qianqian's distant uncle, a professional doctor.

" Duan Tianya nodded as if he understood. Aunt Huang ladled a bowl for Duan Tianya, who reached out to take it.

Suddenly, Huang Qianqian buried her head, grabbed Duan Tianya's hand, and shouted, "Don't die! Don't die! I don't want you to die!"

With a crash, the bowl Duan Tianya was holding shattered into pieces.

Huang Qianqian woke up with a start, looking strangely at Duan Tianya, who was smiling at her.

Huang Qianqian felt her face turn red, and she just stared blankly at Duan Tianya.

Aunt Huang ladled another bowl for Duan Tianya and

handed it to him.

Aunt Huang then began cleaning up the broken pieces on the floor.

After finishing, Aunt Huang looked at Duan Tianya with a kind expression and said, "You should rest here. It's safe here; this is a private clinic."

"It's alright! I'll be careful. I'm going back!"

Aunt Huang quickly said, "How can you do this? You've lost so much blood, how can you not rest properly?

How will I contact you later?"

Aunt Huang seemed to have something to hide, hesitating to speak. "Qianqian is your classmate! She just started university this year, studying art.

" Duan Tianya was stunned. "Not bad! She was two years below me, yet she got into university in the same year! Amazing!" "Skip a grade?

" "Auntie, I have to go back now. You can come find me if you need anything. I study law, my name is Duan Tianya.

" As Duan Tianya left the door, Aunt Huang repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay.

But Duan Tianya kept waiting for Huang Qian to say something to stop him, then he would stay no matter what.

But Huang Qian didn't. She just stood at the clinic entrance smiling at him, a smile that seemed especially lonely in the autumn wind.

Duan Tianya hardened his heart and turned to leave.

Some things, once forgotten, should not be remembered.

Let the past go with the wind!

...

Opening the door, Xue Yan rushed towards Duan Tianya.

Chapter 100 Xue Yan's Tenderness
Duan Tianya stroked Xue Yan's soft hair and gently pushed her away.

"You're so grown up, why are you still acting like a child?

" "Where have you been? You said you'd come back for dinner, but you didn't.

" Duan Tianya suddenly felt very warm.

Xue Yan suddenly said mysteriously, "Don't go anywhere tonight, just wait for me at home, okay?

" Duan Tianya was a little puzzled, "What? Is something wrong?

" Xue Yan looked puzzled, "Don't ask."

Duan Tianya felt very sleepy, his eyelids were drooping. "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I want to sleep for a while." He went into the room, and soon a snoring sound came from inside.

Xue Yan shook her head, gently took off his shoes, and covered him with the blanket.

When Duan Tianya woke up, it was already dusk. He blew on the lamp and felt much better. But as soon as he moved, a sharp pain shot through his back.

Duan Tianya carefully got up, put on his shoes, and went into the kitchen.

He saw Xue Yan busily working there.

She chopped some vegetables and scooped them into the pan with a sizzling sound.

Standing behind Xue Yan, Duan Tianya suddenly felt a happiness welling up from the bottom of his heart. What exactly is happiness?

He seemed to understand.

He felt incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful girl. This girl was not only beautiful and ethereal, but she also had a loving heart. Was it because he had saved her life?

Perhaps, perhaps not!

But she truly brought him so much happiness.

Suddenly, Xue Yan noticed Duan Tianya staring at her blankly.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?

" Duan Tianya didn't say anything, just smiled.

Xue Yan was even more confused. "What do you want to say?"

Duan Tianya just kept looking at her. "Let's talk later!" he thought.

"Just say what you want to say, why wait?

" Actually, Duan Tianya didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his head: "You take such good care of me, what if you get married one day and I have nothing to eat!"

"How could that be? Yan'er doesn't have to get married.

" "You're talking like a child again. Girls eventually have to get married. "

Xue Yan fell silent.

When Xue Yan brought a bottle of red wine to the table,

Duan Tianya suddenly remembered, "Oh right, is today a special day?

" Xue Yan nodded. "Of course, today is my birthday.

" "Ah!" Duan Tianya was a little stunned. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could go buy you a cake!

" Xue Yan filled Duan Tianya's glass with wine. "No, I don't need any cake. I'm just happy if you can have a nice meal with me.

" Duan Tianya suddenly realized his place in her heart.

A sense of happiness, a touch of inexplicable nervousness, arose within

her! "Happy birthday, Xueyan."

"Okay," Xueyan raised her glass.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xueyan's cheeks flushed.

Duan Tianya, while eating the fried crab Xueyan had cooked, asked, "How are your studies? Did that person bother you again?

" "I've always been first in the grade. That classmate you mentioned, I don't know why, has suddenly become serious about studying. The teachers are saying behind my back that the sun has risen in the west.

" Duan Tianya said gently, "You should let other students experience what it's like to be number one. It's not good for you to always be number one!

" "Well, there's nothing I can do! I've already tried my best to give them opportunities, and if they don't seize them, there's nothing I can do!"

After dinner, Duan Tianya sat on the sofa smoking.

Xueyan said, "Go take a shower, I've already prepared the water!

" Duan Tianya pouted and said, "I can't, my back is a little injured, I can't wash myself."

Xueyan was silent for a moment, then cleaned the kitchen, walked up to him, and suddenly said, "Let's go?

" Duan Tianya asked curiously, "Where do you want me to go?

" Xueyan's face suddenly turned shy, "Of course, to help you take a shower!

" For some reason, Duan Tianya suddenly felt a little flustered. He would have been happy for other girls to suggest this, but with Xueyan, he felt it wouldn't work. A thought popped into his mind: he couldn't do this.

"No, I'll be fine without showering for a few days!

" "How can that be! I want to help you wash your clothes. How can you keep wearing these dirty clothes?"

Duan Tianya wanted to find a reason to refuse, but Xueyan had already grabbed his hand.

Entering the bathroom, Duan Tianya tried to take off his clothes himself.

Xueyan held his hand and gently said, "I'll do it."

Chapter 101: Better to Remember Than to Meet

Duan Tianya felt a warmth in his heart. Facing this beautiful younger sister he had spent every day with, he felt a strange emotion. He suddenly had a thought: this girl would play a very important role in his life. All women could leave him, but she couldn't leave him. This girl seemed to have unknowingly become a part of his life. He even felt that if this girl left him, would he still have any happiness left?

"What's wrong?" Xueyan suddenly stopped and looked at the stunned Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya still stared at Xueyan, "If one day you leave me, what should I do?"

Xueyan was a little surprised by his tone. She smiled slightly, "I will never leave you unless I'm dead."

Duan Tianya was shocked! "Yan'er, how can you say such a thing? I'm just your brother. You will eventually leave me.

" Tears streamed down Xueyan's face. She didn't say another word. She quietly helped Duan Tianya remove his clothes, then used a towel dipped in hot water to wipe his upper body. Duan Tianya felt a warmth flowing through his body.

After wiping Duan Tianya's upper body, Xue Yan quietly left the bathroom.

Duan Tianya stared at the person in the mirror for a long time. He felt very unfamiliar with himself; the person in the mirror was really strange, and his thoughts were sometimes truly strange.

Early the next morning, Duan Tianya knocked on Zhang Meiran's door.

Zhang Meiran sleepily opened the door, her eyes lighting up when she saw Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya looked at the curves of his teacher's figure clearly visible through her pajamas, suddenly grabbed her arms, and unceremoniously pressed his lips to her red lips. Zhang Meiran initially tried to struggle, but soon she was only able to gasp for breath…

Closing the door, Duan Tianya pulled Zhang Meiran into his arms.

Lying on top of Zhang Meiran, Duan Tianya felt he was no longer himself, as if he had instantly transformed into a wild beast eager to unleash his power. He buried his head between his teacher's breasts, savoring the unique sweetness of her body.

Suddenly, Zhang Meiran pulled Duan Tianya's head away from her breasts, looking at him passionately. "Tianya, can I ask you a question?"

Duan Tianya, surprised by his teacher's self-control, nodded blankly. "Ask whatever you want!

" "What would you do if one day I were with another man?"

Duan Tianya paused, then smiled wickedly, forcing out two words: "Kill you all!

" "Fine," Zhang Meiran said, wrapping her legs around Duan Tianya's waist. "I want a man like you. I'd be willing to kill me if you did that for me."

Duan Tianya suddenly felt an unprecedented excitement.

He ripped off Zhang Meiran's pajamas in an instant, then completely pounced on her…

After a bout of sweating, Duan Tianya lay smoking, Zhang Meiran nestled contentedly in his arms, her eyes half-closed.

Duan Tianya suddenly turned his head and glanced around.

He was surprised to find that Teacher Bingjie's door remained closed.

Wasn't Bingjie home? Why was she still sleeping so late? Didn't she have class today?

Zhang Meiran reluctantly opened one eye, her cherry lips parting slightly, "You mean her? She's gone!

" Duan Tianya didn't quite understand. Gone? Where did she go?

Back to Yunnan!

Did she go back for something?

No, she quit her job here, she went back to work in Yunnan! She's not coming back!

Duan Tianya's hand jerked, the cigarette slipping from his fingers. He grabbed Zhang Meiran's shoulders and shouted, "What did you say?"

Chapter 102 For Whom Do We Sing, For Whom Do We Heartbreak?

Zhang Meiran squinted, glancing at Duan Tianya with a strange look. "Why are you so reluctant to part? It seems your feelings for her are quite deep!

" Duan Tianya sighed. "Those who are meant to leave will leave.

" Zhang Meiran opened her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips, "I also tried my best to persuade her not to leave. But she's determined to go, and I can't do anything about it."

Duan Tianya sighed deeply. "Perhaps she's tired of this place, perhaps she's found a reason to leave, perhaps…

" "Perhaps what?" Zhang Meiran looked at Duan Tianya with a smile.

"Perhaps there are no perhapss," Duan Tianya replied helplessly.

"I don't know what's wrong. We used to be very close, but somehow, since I went back to my hometown this time, I've found that we suddenly seem very distant. Why did she leave? She didn't tell me the specific reason. She only said that she couldn't free herself, so she had to leave. I asked her if she would come back, and she only said that since she chose to leave, she didn't want to come back."

Duan Tianya's mood suddenly plummeted. Why did she have to leave him? She was his teacher, and also his lover. Was their relationship destined to be nothing more than a fleeting moment? Like a brilliant firework bursting in the sky, beautiful, dazzling, and captivating, yet as brief as a shooting star…

Sitting on the train to Yunnan, Duan Tianya gazed at the vast plains stretching into the distance, a pang of pain rising in his heart. Was he truly not worthy of her affection? Was that night so unworthy of her attention, so easily discarded without a trace of regret? He suddenly felt regret in front of this woman. What was the point of going to her? He couldn't give her any happiness. Perhaps Ye Kai could. He was truly the kind of person of deep feeling and unwavering devotion, his emotions singular and focused. He could die for a woman he loved who didn't love him back. Could he do that? For a woman, being loved by such a man is a bittersweet experience. Love in this world is inherently complex and difficult to define. Bingjie is indeed beautiful, but does he truly love her, or is it merely gratitude for her saving his life?

After getting off the train and onto the bus, Duan Tianya felt a strange unease as the car wound its way along the mountain road. He wondered how she would react if she saw him. What should he say?

He pondered for a long time before finally closing his eyes and recalling the old saying, "There's always a way."

Carrying his bag, he got off the bus and saw a small mountain village, a basin-shaped village. After asking at four or five houses, he finally found a very clean courtyard. A young woman in ethnic minority clothing was operating a waterwheel in her yard.

Since he could only see her back, he couldn't make out the woman's face, but her back felt familiar. Could it be her?

The woman, while pedaling the waterwheel, suddenly began to sing a folk song that Duan Tianya couldn't understand. Her voice was like a nightingale's song, clear and resonant. He couldn't understand the lyrics, but he recognized the sorrow expressed in the melody.

For whom was she singing? For whom was she heartbroken?

Finally, the song ended, and he saw that her feet, which had been resting on the waterwheel, were no longer moving, and her back seemed to be twitching. Duan Tianya walked forward and stopped behind the waterwheel. For a long time, he stood there quietly, without saying a word.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, but finally, the woman turned around, and Duan Tianya smiled as he gazed at her.

The woman's face turned pale, then revealed a surprised smile.

Standing atop the tall waterwheel, she softly said, "You've come!"

Duan Tianya opened his arms, and the woman stepped barefoot down from the windmill, walked to his side, and threw herself into his embrace.

Duan Tianya inhaled deeply the fragrance of her hair, as if trying to extract something from it!

This woman was Bingjie!

Duan Tianya closed his eyes and softly said, "Why did you leave without saying a word? Did you never care about me at all?

" Bingjie didn't say anything, only shook her head. Duan Tianya lifted Bingjie's face and suddenly saw that her face was covered with tears.

Duan Tianya placed Bingjie's hand on his heart and said emotionally, "Touch here, my red heart is aching.

" Bingjie placed his hand on her heart, "If your heart aches, it aches even more here."

Chapter 103 Pure Heart and Jade Integrity

The two embraced like that for a long time.

Duan Tianya scooped up Bingjie, her bare feet barely touching the ground, and carried her to their bamboo house. He climbed the creaking stairs, step by step, to the second floor, lifted the curtain, and placed Bingjie on the bamboo bed. "Why aren't your parents here?" he asked

. "My father passed away when I was little, and my mother went to work in the fields," Bingjie replied.

Duan Tianya picked up her dusty, jade-like feet and held them in his palms. Bingjie's cheeks flushed; they were dirty, and she tried to pull her feet away. Duan Tianya smiled and held her feet firmly. "I like them!" he said. Seeing a wooden basin nearby, he placed her feet on the edge of the bed, picked up a gourd ladle, grabbed the basin, and scooped water into it, then carried the basin to Bingjie's bedside. He placed her feet in the basin and gently washed them with his hands. Every corner and every inch of Bingjie's skin bore the marks of his fingers; his movements were so gentle, his expression so peaceful. A

happy smile appeared in Bingjie's eyes.

Duan Tianya took the foot basin away and found a clean towel to wipe her feet very clean. "What's wrong? It seems quite cold now. Why are you still barefoot like a child? Aren't you cold?

" Bingjie looked at Duan Tianya blankly. "After I left Beijing, I felt completely numb. Is the ground cold? I didn't know that. But I always liked to go barefoot when I was little. I was very young then, and every day I would go barefoot, carrying a big schoolbag, to school in a faraway place. I was carefree then. My teacher told me, 'Bingbing, you are the smartest student in our school. You must study hard. You are a golden phoenix. One day you will fly out of this poor mountain village and fly to the most beautiful place.' So at that time, I didn't think about anything else. Just with the encouragement of my teacher, I studied with all my might. Finally, one day I left this place, went to the county town, and then went to Beijing."

Duan Tianya listened intently to Bingjie's story, his chin resting on his hand. "You, the golden phoenix, have flown out of the mountains, come to the big city, and realized your childhood dream. You must be so happy!

" Bingjie looked at his handsome face with a complex expression. "Before I met you, I was indeed very happy. A little bird that flew out of the countryside could actually find a good job in the country's capital, find a nest, and do what I wanted. Of course, that's something to be happy about. Before I met you, everything was good. After meeting you, it seems all that beauty has vanished.

" Duan Tianya suddenly lowered his head, held Bingjie's hand, and whispered, "I'm sorry. I know I'm an unfortunate person. I only bring disaster, not happiness, to others. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose to stay far away from you. I don't want to hurt anyone who loves me."

Bingjie blinked a few times, gripping Duan Tianya's hand tightly. "Please don't say that. Since I've made my choice, I have no intention of regretting it. You'll meet many people in your life, and some are worth giving everything for. You are that person to me. Actually, I wish our love could be as fleeting as a night-blooming cereus, yet forever etched in my heart. I originally planned to teach children at this local elementary school, then marry some random mountain man and live an ordinary life… I never expected you to come along, and now I don't know what to do!

" "Come back with me, okay?

" Bingjie shook her head. "We have no tomorrow. I can see Zhang Meiran loves you very much. You know love can't be shared. If I go back, it will only hurt the three of us.

" Duan Tianya pouted. "If only it were ancient times, I could marry both of you if I liked you both.

" Bingjie laughed. "You naughty student, you're joking again. Do all men like to think like that?"

Duan Tianya smiled brightly. "Actually, I think monogamy is very unreasonable. Human nature is to like constantly changing feelings. In fact, both men and women like to betray, but there are two conditions that limit betrayal from happening!

" Bingjie smiled and asked suspiciously, "What are the two conditions you mentioned?"

Duan Tianya used his index finger and thumb to ambiguously lift Bingjie's chin. "Not enough temptation and fear of punishment!

" Bingjie shook her head. "You're a really strange student. You even thought of this. Yes, that's roughly it. The basic reason why a marriage can be maintained is that the temptation isn't strong enough, and the fear of punishment after betrayal!

" Duan Tianya wrapped his other arm around Bingjie's waist. "I don't care what you think, but I'm going to love you in my own way!"

Bingjie tried to shake her head, but Duan Tianya raised his head and swiftly captured her warm lips, wantonly ravaging them. Their fragrance intertwined, and Duan Tianya skillfully pinched Bingjie's breasts inside her clothes. Bingjie tried to push him away. "Mom will be back soon. Can't you wait a little longer?"

Duan Tianya's will was resolute: "No, I want you now.

" Bingjie resisted fiercely, but as Duan Tianya continued his assault, she gradually acquiesced. Duan Tianya then completely unleashed his desire…

Sucking on every inch of Bingjie's skin, Duan Tianya's smacking sounds echoed continuously. "Teacher, you are truly beautiful. Even the legendary Venus is definitely not as beautiful as you!" Bingjie was almost driven mad by his sucking. "This little liar, how beautiful is Venus? Have you even seen her?

" Duan Tianya chuckled, savoring the sweetness on her skin. "Venus? I don't know her. Whether she's beautiful or not is none of my business. Anyway, you are extremely beautiful in my eyes!

" "Then who is the most beautiful?" Bingjie asked softly.

Suddenly, images of Xue Yan, Zhang Meiran, Yu Qingzhu… and many other women flashed through Duan Tianya's mind. Thinking of this, he felt an unprecedented surge of power within him. "Hmph," Duan Tianya parted Bingjie's legs, a charming smile playing on his lips. "There's no limit to how beautiful you can be!"

Before Bingjie could say anything, Duan Tianya entered her body with irresistible force. Her mind went blank for a moment, moans filling the bamboo house…

"Ah Jie! Are you upstairs?

" Duan Tianya snapped to attention. "What a coincidence! Why now of all times?" he thought.

Bingjie gave Duan Tianya a good kiss, her face flushed and already damp with sweat, and whispered, "Get up quickly. Do you want Mom to come up and see us?"

Duan Tianya shook his head helplessly, pulled out of Bingjie's body, and kissed her breasts. "I'll pay you back tonight!"

he thought. "What?! Hurry up and get dressed," Bingjie said, handing him his clothes from the bedside table.

As the two walked down from the bamboo hut, a woman stood by the waterwheel, dressed in the same clothes as Bingjie, and just as beautiful—almost a carbon copy of her. If it weren't for the woman's slightly weathered appearance, Duan Tianya would have mistaken them for sisters rather than mother and daughter.

Bingjie walked up to the woman and took her mother's hand. "Mom, is this my student, Duan Tianya?"

"Student, Duan Tianya?" Bingjie's mother smiled. "I thought something had happened. It's because of him! I know!

" "Mom, what are you saying?!" Bingjie cried out. "He's just my student!"

Bingjie's mother smiled even brighter, winking at Duan Tianya. "Kid, you're telling me it's just a simple matter of you and my daughter being her students?

" Duan Tianya liked this straightforward woman. "Mom, of course not! I'm not just your daughter's student, I'm also her lover."

"Right? Humph! Daughter! You've learned to lie to your old mother after just a few years. You think you can fool your mother with your tricks? I could tell when I saw you looking back so often as you came down the ladder.

" Bingjie glared fiercely at Duan Tianya, "I'll settle the score with you later.

" Duan Tianya felt innocent under the glare, thinking that this mother and daughter were really interesting together. People from ethnic minorities are just different!

"Come on! Mom, let's go inside and cook.

" His mother turned around and carefully looked Duan Tianya over. "Young man, you're quite good, just my type. What do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you!

" Bingjie pouted. "What?!" "What type you like? If you like it, I'll give it to you!

" Duan Tianya was almost dumbfounded .

Damn! How could Bingjie say something like that! "Fine! Young man, the day A-Jie doesn't want you anymore, I'll want you!

" Duan Tianya almost fainted. He wanted to say something, but what could he say to this mother and daughter? He had never been afraid before, but looking at these two strange mother and daughter, he was genuinely a little scared!

That night, it was completely dark. There were no electric lights, only kerosene lamps. The mother and daughter kept circling the stove, and Duan Tianya helped.

They brought the dishes to the table. Mamu placed a bowl in front of Duan Tianya, then produced a jar of wine from somewhere.

The three sat down, and Duan Tianya's large bowl was filled to the brim!

Mamu also filled her own bowl.

Duan Tianya took the wine jar and poured a bowl for Bingjie.

Ma Mu raised the wine cup to Duan Tianya, smiling slightly. "Young man, let me tell you a story. If you like it, please drink this cup!"

Chapter 104: If you love someone, don't hurt her

. Twenty-four years ago, one winter, a young man arrived in this village. He was handsome and refined, carrying a bundle of books. He said he had come to escape an arranged marriage. His family had arranged a girl for him that he didn't like, but he refused and secretly ran away on the wedding day. Upon arriving in the village, he didn't know a single person. He was too weak to do any physical labor. Just when he was about to starve to death, a kind woman appeared. She carried him, who was already on the verge of death, back to her home and, despite her family's objections, carefully cared for him until he survived. He was a grateful man, and during their time together, he fell in love with this beautiful and pure girl! They fell in love, and she married him against the wishes of her people! A year after their marriage, they had a beautiful daughter. Just as their family was striving for a happy life, misfortune struck. He contracted a strange, unknown illness that tormented him, making him increasingly weak. She spent all the money she could borrow to take him to every hospital she could, but they couldn't save his life. As he was about to leave this world, he left only one sentence for his wife: "Find a good man to marry, forget about me. Bing'er is very smart; if possible, support her education so she can get into Peking University, which is my lifelong dream..." He left, unwillingly. He didn't want to leave behind his beloved wife and his infant daughter. He didn't want to close his eyes even in death. Jing, his wife didn't listen to him and marry someone else because no man in the village would agree to send their daughter to school. So she chose not to marry anyone and raised her alone, paying off debts and struggling through each sunrise and sunset. But one thing never changed: no matter how difficult the financial situation, she never stopped supporting his daughter's education. Going to Peking University was his last wish, and it was the driving force behind her perseverance. She wanted to fulfill his last unfulfilled dream. Eighteen years after his death, the mother and daughter finally helped him achieve his wish. Her beloved daughter was admitted to Peking University, the best university in the country. On the day they received the acceptance letter, mother and daughter wept bitterly at his grave…

Duan Tianya and Bingjie's faces were also covered in tears. Bingjie threw herself into her mother's arms.

The mother looked at Duan Tianya with a kind expression. "Yes, young man, you recognized me too. That woman is me, and that poor little girl is Bingjie! So you really need to listen to this story. You must treat Bingjie kindly and not let her be sad anymore, because she is a child who has never had a father!" She's never experienced a single day of fatherly love in her life! If you truly love her, please cherish her and never let her shed another tear! Because before, whenever students mocked him as a fatherless, unwanted orphan, she would secretly cry in her bed!

"Don't say anymore, Mom. As long as A-Jie doesn't despise me, Duan Tianya, I'm willing to protect her for life, to ensure she's no longer sad, no longer lonely, and no longer unloved!

" It's been a long time since I've felt the feeling of drinking a bowl of wine from the bottom of my heart.

Mom placed Bingjie's hand in Duan Tianya's hand with peace of mind. "Take good care of her. Besides him, she's the person I love most in this life. I'm entrusting my most beloved person to you; please cherish her!

" Duan Tianya nodded vigorously. "Don't worry! Mom, I will!

" That night, Bingjie lay in Duan Tianya's arms. Duan Tianya softly said, "I'm going to take you away!"

Bingjie gave a helpless smile. "Actually, I'm more miserable than Mom!

" "Why do you say that?"

Although Mom and Dad died young, their love was unwavering, even deeply moving. Their daughter, however, fell in love with a man she couldn't have alone. Wasn't her fate even more tragic? Duan Tianya

smiled slightly. "Are you blaming me?"

Bingjie pouted. "I'm not! I just hate myself for being so weak! If Dad knew his daughter was suffering like this in the afterlife, he'd be furious!

" "Loving someone means having a possessive desire; that's also a form of love," Duan Tianya pinched Bingjie's nose. "If I absolutely had to take you away, would you come?"

Bingjie's expression softened. "Of course I'd go! I knew I was doomed the moment you came!" Now my mom doesn't want me anymore, she's dumping me on you. If you don't want me, I'll just have to throw myself into the river and cry. I don't care about Zhang Meiran or Li Meiran, as long as you don't mind me, I don't care anymore. It's rare to meet someone in this life who's worth throwing yourself into like a moth to a flame. My personality is just like my mom's. Once I've made my choice, even if it's a sea of fire or a mountain of knives, I'll follow you!

Chapter 105 Betrayal and Punishment

As the two sat by the window, Mom waved from the window, "Ah Bing, remember to bring Duan Tianya back with you."

"Okay, Mom!" Bingjie replied with a smile. As the train started moving, the whistle blared loudly. The two waved goodbye to their mother. Duan Tianya remembered this exceptionally beautiful mother, the most tender and great woman he had ever met. Her love was persistent and enduring, her personality cheerful and unrestrained, and her approach to love almost devout.

Having such a mother, anyone should feel proud!

Bingjie took a sip of her cola. "I'm going along with you. How are you going to explain this to Zhang Meiran? Am I just a secret agent all along?

" "Of course not. I'll explain it to her. I believe she'll understand.

" "You really believe she'll understand? There's no room for a third party in the world of love.

" Duan Tianya laughed. "You're not a third party," he thought, "but you're probably the umpteenth one!" But even with his boldness, he dared not tell her about his past affairs.

"Oh well, since it's come to this, let's just take it one step at a time! Those who are meant to be heartbroken will be heartbroken eventually. It's not your fault, it's just my bad luck."

Duan Tianya pulled her into his arms. "I won't allow you to say that. Your words make me feel a guilt I've never felt before. I've never thought I'd done anything wrong before, but if I hurt you, I can't forgive myself.

" Bingjie smiled sadly. "Life is short, and parting is inevitable. I never ask for special favor from fate, but for you, I hope heaven will truly favor me this once, at least not let us be separated.

" Duan Tianya held her tightly. "As long as our hearts are united, we can definitely do it.

" "Okay, I believe you. Even if you lied to me, I still believe you!

" "Don't be silly! I won't. You're so magnanimous, how could I bear to abandon you?

" "Yes! I'm great! Many people used to say I could be a good wife and mother." "Oh!

Good wife and mother sister, I love you to death! Come here for a kiss!" Bingjie tried to escape, but there was no way. The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, freely enjoyed their tenderness.

As the two separated again, an elderly man sitting opposite them, who had been squinting, suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at Duan Tianya for a while. Then, with a look of surprise, he closed his eyes again.

At that moment, seven or eight people entered the carriage, their strange attire clearly indicating they were not good people.

Duan Tianya saw a thin, sharp knife pressed against the old man's waist.

"Come with us," a sinister-looking man glared at the old man, who acted as if nothing had happened, merely raising an eyebrow slightly before keeping his eyes closed.

Duan Tianya burst into laughter, immediately attracting everyone's attention. "What? So many people bullying an old man, don't you feel ashamed?

" Instantly, an arrogant-looking man held a long knife to Duan Tianya's neck. "Kid, if you want to live a little longer, shut your mouth, or we'll take care of you right now, and then rape and kill your beautiful woman!"

Duan Tianya smiled, opened the window, and slowly poured the water from the glass out. "Good, good, good!" he exclaimed three times.

Suddenly, the knife to his neck snapped. The glass slammed onto the head of the threatening trash, who screamed. Duan Tianya grabbed the trash's hand and shoved it out the window. A more terrified scream came from outside, carried on the autumn wind.

Instantly, screams filled the carriage. Knives were swiftly pulled out. Duan Tianya howled and, with almost identical movements, shoved the remaining trash out the window, tossing them into the autumn wind…

When the train police entered, Duan Tianya had just opened the window.

"Some passengers reported hearing fighting in this carriage. What happened?

" Duan Tianya smiled and offered a cigarette. The train police seemed unimpressed, brushing it away. "Thank you, I don't smoke. What happened?"

Duan Tianya tried to light a cigarette, but the train policeman stopped him, saying, "Excuse me, smoking isn't allowed on the train.

" "Okay!" Duan Tianya shrugged. "My girlfriend made me imitate the beatboxing from those fight scenes on TV. I was bored, so I did it. Pretty good,

right?" The train policeman looked at the old man. "Sir, is this it?

" The old man slowly opened his eyes. "Hmm, this young couple certainly knows how to have fun!

" The train policeman nodded. "Good. Be careful next time. Don't just think about your own fun and disturb other passengers.

" "Okay," Duan Tianya smiled, placing his hand on his forehead in a gesture of respect.

"Thank you, officer!" The policeman nodded and turned to leave.

Duan Tianya blew Bingjie a kiss.

Duan Tianya sat down, and Bingjie continued feeding him.

Suddenly, the old man said, "Young man, can I borrow a cigarette?

" Duan Tianya pulled one from a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and tossed the pack over.

The old man took a cigarette from his pack, put it to his lips, and flicked the tip with his hand, lighting it instantly. Duan

Tianya, who was about to hand him a lighter, was taken aback. He put away his lighter, lit his own cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "I didn't recognize a master," he thought, "I've met a true expert.

" The old man smiled, his face etched with wrinkles. "Young man, your skill, courage, and reflexes are all impressive, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. When you first came in, I heard your powerful stride; when you sat down, I saw your extraordinary presence. Your actions just now revealed your ambition and charisma. Young man, don't let trivial matters distract you from your ambitions. Given time, your future is limitless!"

Duan Tianya laughed. "Old sir, you flatter me. In this peaceful and prosperous age, even the ambition of a charismatic leader is useless; there's no room for it!

" The old man laughed. "The bigger your heart, the bigger your stage!

" "Old sir, you flatter me," Duan Tianya replied. "The heart and the stage seem completely unrelated. To force a connection between them is too idealistic."

"Idealism? Hmph," the old man scoffed. "Everything is created by the mind, everything is constituted by intention, and intention can constitute everything!

" "Then are the things of Western material civilization also created by the mind?

" the old man said. "All creations in Western civilization originate from the inventor's own ideas, and then they search for what they are looking for over time. Finally, they find it. Can you say that the invention of these things wasn't the work of human intention?

" "Ugh!" Duan Tianya was speechless. What he said seemed like fallacies, but they were also plausible. In fact, how could idealism and materialism be separated? Those who claim to be idealists and materialists are wrong. This world is intertwined; mind and matter can transform into each other. When the mind reaches a certain level, it can transform into matter; when matter reaches a certain level, it can transform into mind.

Seeing Duan Tianya's thoughtful expression, the old man nodded. "You are teachable, young man." The old man handed Duan Tianya a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, which Duan Tianya pushed back. "Thank you. Here, take this. You have helped me understand the fundamental question of the world's origin that has puzzled me for so long."

The old man didn't stand on ceremony and put the cigarette in his pocket. "You're indeed teachable, young man! I can't just take your kindness for nothing. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a book." He then pulled a book from his inner pocket and handed it to Duan Tianya.

"Everything, when, and in whose hands is predetermined. Those people came for this book. They've been following me for months. I've never killed anyone, so they've always been able to follow me. Now that you've helped me get rid of them, I can finally relax.

" Duan Tianya looked at the cover. It was a very ancient book. The cover had a finely detailed Bagua diagram, with a Yin-Yang symbol in the center, surrounded by Bagua symbols and various other figures.

The old man continued, "From nothing comes something, from nothing comes the Dao, the Dao is one, Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams determine the world.

" The car stopped, and the old man walked to the door. "I'm getting off. This book is for you. For some, this book is just waste paper; for others, it can bring disaster; for still others, it can bring peace and stability. Regardless, it's all fate. Remember, what I'm giving you is the world.

" Duan Tianya was about to speak when the old man stepped out of the car and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Duan Tianya looked down at the ground where the old man had walked; suddenly, footprints more than an inch deep appeared on the iron ground.

"Such skill? He thinks he can show off his axe before Lu Ban's door? He has eyes but doesn't recognize Mount Tai.

" Bingjie took the book and started flipping through it. She looked at it again and again and saw many strange figures and symbols inside, page after page. "This old man is so mysterious, I can't understand a thing," she thought. "You can figure it out!" He reached out and stuffed the book into Duan Tianya's pocket. He even gave his pocket a few symbolic pats, then grinned, "The world's yours, take good care of it!"

"To hell with the world, what does it have to do with me? Having you is enough!" "Come on, another kiss," he said, as the two continued their private moment of bliss…

Duan Tianya and Bingjie walked on campus. Bingjie said, "I'm going to the registrar's office to see if there's any chance of getting my job back.

" "I'll go with you.

" Bingjie glanced at Duan Tianya, "Okay!

" Entering, Bingjie saw the head of the registrar's office, wearing glasses and with a full head of silver hair, and smiled shyly. The head of the registrar's office smiled upon seeing Bingjie. "I told you, I'd keep your resignation letter for a week. Luckily you came today; I haven't submitted it yet." The head of the registrar's office took an envelope from his drawer and handed it to Bingjie.

Bingjie took the envelope and bowed deeply to the head of the registrar's office! "Thank you, Professor!

" The Dean of Academic Affairs said, "Take off your glasses, Xiaojie. I'm your doctoral advisor. Although we've only known each other for three years, I understand you quite well. When you encounter problems you can't solve, you often retreat instead of charging forward. You must change that! This is your boyfriend, right? The young man looks good; you have good taste!

" Bingjie blushed and said, "No, he's not my advisor, he's my student."

Duan Tianya said without hesitation, "Dean, she's both my teacher and my lover.

" The old dean laughed heartily, "A young man who isn't a bit of a flirt is wasting his youth! You're quite something, young man! It's remarkable that you managed to win over your teacher! It's nothing. The atmosphere at Peking University is lively, and many of our professors have had similar romantic escapades; it's all part of Peking University's history. But if you were at Wuhan University, you'd be in trouble. Starting this year, all professors at Wuhan University have to sign an agreement with the university that they can't date students. You'd be in big trouble there!

" Duan Tianya laughed along with the dean. "Who came up with this idea? It's inhumane!"

Bingjie pinched Duan Tianya's thigh hard.

Duan Tianya rolled his eyes, forcing a smile. "Director, we have some things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now.

" The director stood up to see him off. "Little Bing, I like this young man. Take him to our house for dinner sometime. You haven't been to our house for a while; your teacher's wife and I miss you.

" "Okay, Professor, I'll go as soon as I have time."

As soon as Duan Tianya stepped out of the administration office, he wrapped his arms around Bingjie's waist. This attracted the attention of passing students. Bingjie brushed his hand away, whispering, "Don't you know where we are? You want me to become a public figure?"

Duan Tianya grabbed her hand. "You can't wrap your arms around my waist, but you can hold my hand! I don't see you as a teacher here; I see you as an older sister!

" Bingjie was helpless against his clinginess and couldn't break free, so she had no choice but to let him hold her hand.

Duan Tianya happily savored this feeling of reunion. However, there's a pattern: when you're too happy, something unpleasant usually follows. Duan Tianya was also vaguely afraid of its arrival, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

They encountered someone, someone they didn't want to see right now.

When this person approached within three meters, Duan Tianya and Bingjie suddenly realized that perhaps they were too happy and had forgotten everything! They had even forgotten Zhang Meiran! Yes, it was Zhang Meiran walking towards them.

Zhang Meiran was also very happy; she was happy to see her roommate, with whom she had lived for a long time, their relationship like that of sisters. So when she saw Bingjie, she turned back from the other direction to meet her.

She only saw from afar that Bingjie was holding a man's hand, looking very intimate, but she couldn't see what he looked like. She thought to herself, "This little girl's got some nerve! She hasn't seen him for a few days and she's already so close to some man. I'll have to see what kind of outstanding man he is who can so quickly capture this ice beauty's heart."

But when she saw that the man was Duan Tianya, she lost her temper.

All curiosity vanished in an instant, leaving only excruciating pain. One was her roommate, as close as a sister, the other her lover—and she'd only found out at the very end!

She turned and walked away, telling herself she had to escape them, never see them again, as far away as possible, as fast as possible!

She ran. Duan Tianya was stunned. Bingjie's heart turned cold in that instant. "Go after her!" he urged

. Duan Tianya looked back at Bingjie's expressionless face. "And you?

" "I'll go back to the house first!"

Duan Tianya chased after her. Zhang Meiran ran incredibly fast, as fast as a wounded wolf fleeing for its life.

Her world collapsed in an instant. Her love, her feelings, her hopes—everything she had crumbled in that one hand-holding moment.

She punished Duan Tianya's negligence in the most resolute way. She had only one thought: she no longer loved him, but she would make these two feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

With a loud thud, a large wave surged across the waters of Weiming Lake.

"No!" Duan Tianya cried out from afar.

He then jumped in
