Chapter 563 - 562: Departure

Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Departure

Yiyi nodded quickly when she heard what Gu Tingyu said and replied, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Seeing this, Gu Tingyu finally felt a bit more at ease.

"Right, let’s head out in a bit, so Teacher Yang and the others don’t have to wait." After finishing talking about going to Xingzhou, Yiyi hurriedly pulled Gu Tingyu up to go out.

By the time Yiyi and Gu Tingyu arrived at the Fang Family’s place, Fei Erya and Fan Qianshu were already there.

Fei Erya was overjoyed when she saw Yiyi.

"Yiyi, you’re here." They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so of course she was excited to see her today.

Yiyi was also very happy to see Er Ya. "Er Ya, did you only come back when school started? How was it staying at home this summer?"

Er Ya had already pulled Yiyi down onto the sofa and said, "This time Qianshu and I both went back to see my dad. We had a pretty good time staying there. I also took Qianshu around the area near my place. This summer felt really fulfilling."

Hearing Fei Erya say that, Yiyi couldn’t help smiling and nodding. "That’s really nice."

Fei Erya then took Yiyi’s hand and asked, "I heard you even went to Hong Kong over the summer. So, how was it, was Hong Kong fun?"

"It was pretty nice, a bit more prosperous than here. But our place is developing very fast too. I’m sure before long it’ll be just like Hong Kong."

Fei Erya’s eyes were full of agreement. "Definitely."

Just then Yang Liu came out with a plate of freshly washed fruit, smiling as she urged them to have some. Then she looked over at Fang Cheng and said, "A Cheng, take Tingyu and Qianshu to your study to sit for a while. I’ll chat with Yiyi and Er Ya for a bit."

Fang Cheng naturally nodded when he heard that.

Seeing his wife now smiling so brightly, he truly felt relieved. Liu’er really hadn’t been taking those medicines lately; she’d returned to her old radiant self. He couldn’t be happier for Yiyi and Er Ya to come over often and chat with her.

After Fang Cheng took Gu Tingyu and Fan Qianshu to the study, Yang Liu tugged Yiyi over and said mysteriously, "Yiyi, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I keep feeling that my body’s gotten much better recently, and my periods have been more regular. Do you think... this means I’m getting better?"

Hearing that, Yiyi said, "Teacher, let me take your pulse."

Yang Liu hurriedly extended her wrist for Yiyi to feel her pulse.

Yiyi carefully felt Yang Liu’s pulse for a while, then withdrew her hand and said, "Teacher, your body really has recovered somewhat. But if you want your wish to come true, it’ll probably still take some time. Don’t rush it. The more anxious you are about this, the worse it is."

Even though she hadn’t gotten a definitive answer from Yiyi, Yang Liu still felt very happy. Compared to how her body was before, she really was much better now.

"It’s fine, I’m not in a hurry. When I really have good news, I’ll definitely tell you first."

Fei Erya chimed in from the side, "Teacher, you’ll definitely get what you wish for."

After so many years, she’d come to understand that it was really hard for Yang Liu to get pregnant. From their high school days till now there had been no news at all. But she also trusted Yiyi. Since Yiyi was already treating Teacher Yang, maybe things would turn around soon.

Yang Liu chatted with Yiyi and the others for a while longer, then stood up and said, "Yiyi, you and Er Ya keep chatting. I’ll go prepare the dishes. We have to have a proper meal at noon today. I even got a few bottles of good wine. You’re still in college, but drinking a little bit is fine." With that, she happily headed to the kitchen.

Seeing how cheerful Yang Liu was now, Yiyi couldn’t help nodding. Keeping this kind of mood would only be better for her health.

Fei Erya then asked Yiyi about her studies.

"Yiyi, the junior-year courses have already started. Are you guys even busier now than before?"

When it came to schoolwork, Yiyi told Fei Erya about her going to Xingzhou next month.

Fei Erya was full of excitement when she heard that.

"Yiyi, that’s really great. Your teacher values you so much, it means you have a lot of potential. You have to make good use of this opportunity."

Yiyi smiled and nodded.

Fei Erya also told Yiyi about her own studies, a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Yiyi, actually... our teacher thinks I could go abroad as an exchange student for a year in my senior year. But if I go, I’d have to go overseas, and that would mean being apart from you all." She couldn’t bear to leave Yiyi and the others, and she was even more reluctant to leave Fan Qianshu. That’s why she was still hesitating. If her grades weren’t so outstanding, their teacher wouldn’t even have brought this up.

Seeing Fei Erya hesitate, Yiyi couldn’t help asking, "Have you told Fan Qianshu about this?"

Fei Erya shook her head. "Not yet. I don’t know how to bring it up with Qianshu."

"You should talk this over properly with Fan Qianshu. If he hears about it from someone else, he’ll definitely feel bad." Yiyi felt that this wasn’t something Fei Erya should hide.

Hearing that, Fei Erya finally made up her mind.

"You’re right. I should discuss it with Qianshu."

Yiyi smiled and said, "That’s more like it, otherwise misunderstandings will crop up between the two of you."

Yang Liu worked quickly. In no time she had a big table of dishes ready. She called Yiyi and Fei Erya to sit down first, then went to the study to call Fang Cheng and the others.

"Yiyi, Er Ya, you two should drink a little as well."

Yiyi smiled and nodded, pouring herself a glass of red wine. Fei Erya naturally also filled a full glass. It was rare for them to get together, so of course they had to enjoy a good meal.

By the time the meal was over, Yiyi herself felt a little tipsy.

Seeing Yiyi’s slightly flushed cheeks, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile as he supported her on their way out.

Fan Qianshu looked at the slightly drunk Fei Erya and couldn’t help but chuckle. He glanced at Gu Tingyu and said, "We’ll head back first."

Gu Tingyu nodded. "Be careful on the way." Then he also took Yiyi back.

When Mr. Ding saw Gu Tingyu bringing back a slightly drunk Yiyi, he couldn’t help glaring at him. "How did you let Yiyi get drunk? Where did you have lunch?"

Gu Tingyu hurriedly replied, "We ate at the Fang Family’s place. Er Ya and the others were all there, so Yiyi just had a little to drink."

Hearing that, Mr. Ding didn’t say anything more.

When Yiyi woke up in the afternoon, Gu Tingyu was sitting right beside her.

"You’re awake. How do you feel? Does your head hurt?"

Yiyi shook her head. "I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt."

Gu Tingyu let out a breath. "Good. Next time you really can’t drink too much."

Yiyi couldn’t help laughing. "It was just rare for everyone to be together, so I had a little more."

After dinner, Gu Tingyu sat and talked with Yiyi for a long while before finally heading back.

Once Gu Tingyu finished his leave and went back to work, Yiyi also resumed her classes.

Time quickly slipped into the next month. Yiyi set off for Xingzhou together with Qian Yi and the others. As for Fu Yun and Lin Jing, they simply followed along behind Yiyi’s group and went to Xingzhou with them.
