No one notices the touch of pride in Jiang Yuan"s eyes. She spoke about it because she is deliberately trying to get Han Qilu to listen to what she is implying. She knows her baby boy"s superb IQ would get her intention. Sure enough, the trick worked. But she has to be patient. She can"t have An Chuxia thinking she isn"t safe.
Oblivious, An Chuxia doesn"t know why Han Qilu interjected before she could hear Jiang Yuan"s words. She chalks it up to one of his psychotic episodes, but she feels the devil"s advocate on her. She feels something isn"t quite right, but she doesn"t do anything to make the young master unhappy. Ah, how the young master makes her sing a different tune!
Suddenly, she feels annoyed. She stares at Han Qilu unhappily and exclaims, “What I do is none of your business. Can you not leave me to talk with Mommy?!!!”
Han Qilu shoots her a withered gaze before sharply turning at his mother. “An Chuxia, of course I do. There"s a reason as to why I occasionally listen in on what could be well-intended advice… But is it really that hard to get into a large, outdoor adventure? You really don"t want to do it?”
She sneers at him. “Your own mom just said you didn"t partic.i.p.ate last year, so why would it be any trouble if I don"t partic.i.p.ate? I don"t want to go.”
An Chuxia doesn"t know why he looked hurt after hearing what she said. But the mood quickly dissipates, and she chalks the image as an illusion. She won"t ever see it again.
“You want to know why I didn"t go last year?” He asks, raising an eyebrow. “Because I wanted to go out with… .”
He never thought that one day, he can actually talk about his "romance". Jiang Yuan is so surprised, her jaw drops. Han Qilu has been so lovelorn, he never discussed the taboo. No one around him is allowed to talk about her. Who knows, he went as far as revealing the taboo himself.
And he says it so calmly. She"s suspecting auditory hallucinations. Maybe it"s because she"s receiving much pressure from writing her novel.
Compared to the shock Jiang Yuan experienced, Basa Li looks puzzled. She c.o.c.ks her head to the side and thinks.
Han Qilu fell out of love? Is Han Qilu"s love for An Chuxia not that strong? How"s it actually going? Han Qilu hasn"t brought any woman home outside of An Chuxia.
Yes, she has inadvertently heard of Mo Xinwei as one of Qilu"s girlfriends. Does Han Qilu like her? Or is it really An Chuxia?
This is a mess! This is just giving her a big headache.
An Chuxia tries to avoid Han Qilu"s fiery eyes, pretending she doesn"t care. “So what? I just don"t want to go.”

My Cherished Memory

An Chuxia is about to say something when steward Han enters. He says respectfully, “The car is ready.”
Han Qilu gets up and walks out regardless of An Chuxia"s yelling. He doesn"t look back. She is still shouting by the time he has left the hall. She dare not swear since Jiang Yuan is present, but Basa Li looks at her with an unfathomable gaze.
As An Chuxia brushes by Basa Li, she whispers in a voice only Chuxia can hear. “After the first exam this afternoon, come find me.”
She doesn"t know what her intentions are, but she will meet up with her even if she didn"t want to do so. But Basa will hunt her down. As a heavy sigh escapes her, she finds Jiang Yuan laughing by the wayside.
“What are you laughing at?” She"s confused. Is there something on her face? She reaches out and touches her face. “Mommy, do I have dirt on my face?”
Jiang Yuan tries to control her laughter. “No, no. I just wanted to laugh. You know, laughter is the best medicine. Hahahaha. Go to school before it gets late. Partic.i.p.ate in the field expedition, since there"s nothing to do at home other than studying. You"re already good. You got full marks in your last school. That"s really amazing!”
She"s embarra.s.sed to hear Jiang Yuan praise her. But now, she"s telling her to partic.i.p.ate. Anyway, she"s never attended activities wealthy children partic.i.p.ate in, so she should be vigilant and open.
Jiang Yuan"s bad mood lifts after giving the activity much thought. “Go to school, and mommy will see you again.”
She bids Jiang Yuan goodbye before heading to the waiting car. She sits in the front seat since Basa Li is sitting in the back. She knows Basa Li wants to sit with Han Qilu.
She doesn"t care at all! But why does she feel like she"s lying to her heart? No no no! This must be an illusion! Um, illusion!
The car reaches Stein College quickly since traffic is light. When she enters the exam room, everyone is already seated and waiting to take the test. No one says anything, but she still feels embarra.s.sed.
It is only when everyone"s heads bow to answer questions does she feel slightly relieved. She holds the pen seriously as she answers the language problems.
She has always performed well answering language problems. She dares to write scores of essays in Chinese. She already scores high in her essays, but she wants a perfect score.
She finally starts writing.
A semi-proposition essay topic is chosen for composition. Ent.i.tled “My most cherished memory XX”, she can answer xx with any person or thing. Naturally, she thinks of her mother in heaven, and writes.
