Chapter 936: Three Women Gather at the Lantern Festival, A Special Atmosphere

The banter with Chu Yanyan is just a little episode in everyday life.

Watching the once beautiful senior being angered by him to the point of blowing her beard and glaring, her cheeks flushed like a peach, Li Yuan found it very amusing.

Li Yuan chuckled to himself: “I just like how you look at me with annoyance, yet can’t take me down.”

His feelings for Chu Yanyan were quite special; this pretty senior had a tragic past, forced to jump to her death at the prime age, which made him involuntarily feel a tinge of affection…

However, he had no improper thoughts about this pretty senior, despite her beauty rivaling that of Xia Zhijin and the others, belonging to the Tech University’s campus beauty level, attracting many admirers…

Li Yuan was also aware that Chu Yanyan was very displeased with him; her views on relationships were probably quite normal, with very clear criteria for choosing a partner…

His current situation obviously didn’t fall within Chu Yanyan’s choice range.

He didn’t have such intentions either, otherwise, the kidneys might not bear it…

Accompanied by the “sister flowers,” all with divine looks, he took them for a feast and strolled around Modu.

That afternoon, Mom and Dad also brought Li Zixia back to Modu.

Li Zixia is still in her first year of high school, with the coursework not being too intense, and classes don’t officially start until after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Her grades are quite good too, mainly because she worked diligently and hard when studying back home.

When she came to Modu for high school, she got the enthusiastic and attentive guidance from Bai Weixi, Xia Zhijin, and Zhong Tingyue, three top students from prestigious universities, which pushed her grades up rapidly, far better than hiring a tutor…

For example, Bai Weixi’s English is excellent, and her Chinese is quite good too; these are Li Zixia’s weaknesses, which gradually got covered up. Scoring over 140 in the college entrance examination, Bai Weixi surely has her unique methods of learning English.

On the other hand, Xia Zhijin excels in mathematics and physics, with strong logical thinking, and is the most dedicated tutor among them.

As long as Li Yuan isn’t around or isn’t particularly busy, she nearly always comes home to help Li Zixia with her studies…

Zhong Tingyue is quite versatile, especially with musical instruments, painting, singing, etc., but she tutors less in coursework…

After half a year’s integration, she has largely adapted to life and study in Modu.

Li Yuan’s influence played a significant role in this.

If it were an ordinary student from another region transferring to Modu, they might find it hard to adjust; despite many outsiders, Modu isn’t free from exclusion and regional discrimination.

However, for Li Zixia, these aren’t issues.

With Li Yuan, the big celebrity brother, being wealthy, no one in her class, be it boys or girls, isolated her or mocked her…

Moreover, some female classmates even tried to ask Li Zixia for his phone number or social media, with unclear intentions…

In the blink of an eye,

it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.

At Jinxiu Villas,

mother Xia Qin was making dumplings for the evening feast.

Father Li Heng was watching the news.

Li Zixia was holding a guitar, learning the instrument while humming an unknown tune, influenced by Li Yuan; she also developed a liking for singing…

However, she didn’t have the boost of a rebirth, so her singing talent was not quite on par with Li Yuan, although she showed some slight talent…

The whole room had been thoroughly cleaned by mother, spotless and sparkling.

The living room and the balcony were adorned with green plants, making the whole room vibrant and full of life.

Tonight, there will be a special feast.

Xia Qin finished tidying up and walked out of the kitchen.

“Old Li, when will Yuan and the others come back?”

Li Heng: “I don’t know, ask them yourself.”

Unhappy, Xia Qin replied: “Humph, I have to ask everything, what are you for?”

“By the way, I heard from Yuan that Bai’s mom had surgery and is in the hospital; when should we visit?”

Li Heng thought for a moment and said: “Tomorrow, today is too late.”

Xia Qin: “Yuan is really something, such a big matter as Bai’s mom having surgery and hospitalization, yet he didn’t inform us earlier; otherwise, we should have visited this morning.”

“I heard from Yuan that Bai’s mom has breast cancer, isn’t that incurable? Can it be cured?”

Li Heng shook his head: “An incurable disease is called so because it can’t be cured, isn’t it? But, according to Yuan, Bai’s mom is in the early stages of breast cancer, and had the operation done by an expert, which was very successful and shouldn’t recur, right?”

Xia Qin sighed: “Oh dear, one really needs good health. Bai’s mom is around my age and got this illness.”

Li Heng frowned and asked: “Yuan said he arranged for us to have a full-body check-up and screen thoroughly.”

In the past, Li Heng would surely refuse; he felt quite robust, eating and drinking well, sleeping soundly, not like someone with a health issue.

But upon learning about the in-laws suddenly getting cancer at their age, the couple was quite frightened and no longer refused the check-up.

With a wealthy son, there’s no need to skimp; it would just cost several thousand dollars.
