Chapter 167 Let's go to the provincial capital
Lu Yuan planned to go to the provincial capital for two days. When his mother asked what he was going to do, he answered truthfully that he planned to check out the clothing wholesale market in the provincial capital and have some fun while he was there.
Judging from the timeline of this life, the last time Lu Yuan went on a long trip was during his first year of high school when his school organized an autumn outing, so he really needs to go out and have some fun.
If I don't play now, I'll have to start my studies again in September, and then I won't have this leisurely time anymore.
Most importantly, Lu Yuan showed a strong interest in the clothing industry.
In any case, the Lu family started out producing clothing. If Lu Yuan can inherit his father's business and even carry it forward, that would definitely be a happy thing for everyone.
Therefore, when Lu Yuan applied to the Clothing Engineering major at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology, his parents were extremely supportive.
"Since you're going to the provincial capital anyway, why don't you take Yixian with you?" Mom said during dinner.
Ye Yixian was also sitting and eating when she heard this, and quickly shook her head and said, "Auntie, no need. I have to work these few days, how can I have time to go out and play?"
She also wanted to say that Lu Yuan was going to the provincial capital on official business, and that it wouldn't be good for her to go with him since she wouldn't be able to help.
However, considering that Lu Yuan didn't plan to tell his parents about starting a business with Lin Kai, she didn't say anything. If necessary, Lu Yuan would tell them himself.
"What does it matter?" Aunt Lu smiled, looking at Ye Yixian with a doting expression. "Your work isn't very busy. Our factory is currently undergoing upgrades and renovations, and there aren't many goods coming in or out. You can definitely take a day off and go out with Lu Yuan."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "I heard your brother works in the provincial capital. You could go visit him while you're there."
"this……"
Lu's mother's suggestion was quite tempting to Ye Yixian, but she was unsure of what to do, so she could only habitually look at Lu Yuan beside her.
Now, whenever she encounters a difficult decision, she instinctively turns to Lu Yuan for help. It seems she has become completely dependent on him.
It's not that she lacks the ability to support herself, but rather that Lu Yuan is too reliable. Anyone who spends a lot of time with him would inexplicably become dependent on him.
"I think Mom is right." Lu Yuan put down his chopsticks. "You've never really left Jiangcheng, have you? Going out and seeing the world will always be good for you."
Ye Yixian had never left Jiangcheng. In the past, when the school organized an autumn outing, she couldn't afford the sixty yuan fee, so she didn't go.
She had been trapped in this small town for far too long; how could she not yearn to go out and see the world?
But she still understood that going to the provincial capital would cost money, and Lu Yuan would definitely have to pay for it and take time to take care of her, which made her feel burdened.
Therefore, she was still hesitant.
Until Lu's father said, "Yixian, why don't you go with Lu Yuan? It'll broaden your horizons. Things are peaceful at home now, so you don't need to worry. Just consider it giving Lu Yuan's mother and me some private space."
Lu's father's words were impeccable. If Ye Yixian still refused after hearing that, it would seem like he was being unreasonable.
She could only smile and nod in agreement.
It's clear that Lu's parents are now raising Ye Yixian as if she were half a daughter.
Ye Yixian is well-behaved, sensible, and conscientious in her work, never complaining, making her absolutely likable. Most importantly, in Lu's parents' eyes, it was because of her appearance that Lu Yuan restrained his temper and became more and more outstanding.
We'll set off tomorrow. Anyway, Jiangcheng isn't very far from the provincial capital; it's only about a four-hour bus ride.
Lu Yuan's plan was this: depart at noon, arrive in the afternoon, go directly to see Ye Yizhu, have dinner together, get a good rest that night, and then go to inspect the clothing wholesale market the next day.
After listening, Ye Yixian said that he would follow Lu Yuan's arrangements.
However, on her way home, a question suddenly occurred to her, and she asked somewhat nervously, "We're going to spend the night in the provincial capital, where should we stay?"
"Let's stay in a hotel."
Lu Yuan answered crisply and decisively, without giving it much thought.
In his previous life, he often traveled for work, and when he needed to stay overnight, he would simply find a hotel nearby. He was already used to this kind of schedule.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yixian's cheeks immediately turned red to the roots of her ears.
She has never stayed in a hotel.
In her preconceived notion, intimate things should happen between men and women when they stay in a hotel, and it's even more inevitable between couples.
At least that's how it's written in romance novels.
Could it be that this trip will really take her relationship with Lu Yuan to the next level?
Ye Yixian was both expectant and flustered.
I feel like this is all too fast. I'm not prepared at all.
But if Lu Yuan really wants it, how can she, as his girlfriend, refuse?
After all, if Lu Yuan is happy, I will be happy too.
On her way home, she kept having random thoughts, and when she got back, she seemed very unnatural.
"Yixian, what's wrong?" Lu Yuan noticed Ye Yixian's unusual behavior and touched her forehead. "Did you catch a cold?"
No, no.
Ye Yixian quickly turned her head away, saying shyly, "It's a bit hot today. I'll take a shower and rest for a bit, then I'll be fine."
"Oh, I see." Lu Yuan nodded, not thinking much of it. He trusted Ye Yixian to know how to take care of herself. "Alright, then you should get some rest. Just message me if anything comes up. I'll take you to the provincial capital tomorrow."
"good!"
Ye Yixian nodded happily. Although the possibility of something happening made her uneasy, she was still full of anticipation for being able to go to the provincial capital and see her brother Ye Yizhu whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
As soon as night fell, Ye Yixian finished taking a shower and even washed her hair. Still feeling a bit unsettled, she sent a message to Wang Qingyu telling her that she was going to the provincial capital with Lu Yuan and would be staying at a hotel.
Wang Qingyu was very interested in this topic, and at the same time, she was extremely envious.
After all, Ye Yixian was about to go to a hotel with the person she liked, while she and Gao Zhe still hadn't shown any signs of anything going on.
She tried many ways to subtly hint at Gao Zhe's feelings, but Gao Zhe really knew nothing about relationships between men and women.
Even if one day Wang Qingyu says she wants to spend the rest of her life with him, he will mistakenly think that this little girl is planning to become sworn sisters with him and swear an oath of blood.
You can easily imagine that scene:
When Wang Qingyu confessed her feelings to Gao Zhe, Gao Zhe turned around, grabbed a chicken, and with a swift stroke, splattered blood everywhere.
Wang Qingyu asked him what he was doing.
He went straight to the point, saying, "Heaven above, today I, Lao Gao, and Brother Wang, are sworn brothers. We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year..."
After listening to Wang Qingyu's complaints, Ye Yixian burst into laughter.
She also wanted to help Wang Qingyu, but unfortunately Wang Qingyu herself didn't dare to confess directly, so how could anyone else help her?
Perhaps when they go to university together, they will gradually come together as they spend time together day and night.
Of course, Ye Yixian didn't call Wang Qingyu to listen to her complaints, but to ask Wang Qingyu for help in making a decision.
Ye Yixian had always wanted to give Lu Yuan a gift. After all, they had known each other for so long, and Lu Yuan had bought her so many things, but she had never reciprocated.
However, her current abilities are very limited. Lu Yuan may not need the things she can afford to give him, and she really can't afford to give him the things she can't afford to give him.
After listening, Wang Qingyu remained silent for a long time, then suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Isn't your goal to make Lu Yuan happy? I recommend you give him something that Lu Yuan will definitely like."
"What?" Ye Yixian was overjoyed and showed an expectant look.
"We can't understand each other through text messages. Let's go out for bubble tea, and I'll tell you in person."
"Uh...that works too."
