Chapter 155 Childhood Friends (10)

"No." Zhou Ying said, "But I also gave Xiao Xu living expenses, and I asked Xiao Xu to keep it himself."

Hu Li said: "My sister wasted more than ten years of her youth on him. In the end, she became so angry that she became sick and went abroad. He is such a heartless man that he is not worthy of being Xiao Xu's father."

Zhou Ying didn't know what to say and could only smile awkwardly.

Hu Li turned around and asked Duan Xu, "Xiao Xu, I heard that you have very good grades. Have you decided which university to go to?"

"Think about it."

Hu Li added: "Have you ever considered studying abroad? I can help you find an institution, and you just need to prepare a little. I heard that you have very good grades, so you will definitely pass the exam easily. Then you can apply to a school in France and live with your mother."

Chen Ye, who was making tea at the table, immediately raised his head when he heard Hu Li's words, and Duan Xu was also looking in his direction.

Chen Ye winked at Duan Xu, and Duan Xu smiled gently at his cute look.

He quickly answered Hu Li, "I don't want to go abroad."

Hu Li saw Chen Ye and Duan Xu's little tricks, and she said, "Are you reluctant to leave Xiaoguo? Auntie can send both of you abroad to study together."

Zhou Ying immediately said, "No, no, Guoguo can just stay in the country."

The couple has only one child and they don’t want to send him abroad.

Even if it weren't for Chen Ye, Duan Xu would not have gone abroad, let alone to France.

Hu Bing already has a new family, and Duan Xu doesn't want to get in the way.

"No need, auntie," Duan Xu said calmly, "I don't want to go to France. Mom is already married, it's not appropriate for me to go."

Hu Li knew that Hu Bing didn't care enough about Duan Xu, and thought that Duan Xu would be reluctant to go to France, but she didn't expect Duan Xu to say it so bluntly.

Hu Li opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

Duan Xu has been abandoned in the Li family since he was a child. If we use family affection to persuade Duan Xu, he will probably rebel.

"It doesn't matter," Hu Li suggested, "How about you follow me? My aunt has no family and no children, and now she plans to settle down in China for a long time. You can follow my aunt to the capital, and then study at the Capital University."

Hu Li had thought this proposal through carefully. Duan Xu was already grown up, and it was not good for him to continue to stay in the Li family. The Li family had raised Duan Xu for so many years, and apart from the basic living expenses, they did not take any extra money from him. Hu Bing felt bad about this.

She had told Hu Li before that if Duan Xu did not agree to go abroad, she would take Duan Xu to the capital.

Duan Xu looked indifferent. "I'm used to living in Aunt Zhou's house. I don't want to go anywhere else. I appreciate your kindness."

Chen Ye took the brewed tea and placed it on the coffee table. "Yes, the college entrance examination is just over a year away. I'm afraid that moving to a new place now will affect my grades."

"But……"

Hu Li wanted to say something, but she felt that she couldn't persuade Duan Xu.

Both Duan Chenglin and Hu Bing are very opinionated, and so is Duan Xu.

Zhou Ying said: "The child is grown up and has his own ideas. You just need to respect his decision."

Hu Li smiled bitterly, "That's right."

She looked at Zhou Ying and said, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Xu all these years."

"Xiao Xu is very sensible," Zhou Ying said, "I didn't have to put in much effort, but it was this child who took care of our Guoguo more."

Hu Li smiled and said, "When you and my sister were pregnant, you said that if it was a boy and a girl, we would arrange a marriage. If both were boys or girls, they would be like real brothers and sisters. Now the two children have a good relationship, and my sister and I are happy to see it."

When Duan Xu heard about the child marriage, he looked up at Chen Ye, who was sitting on the sofa eating a fruit plate without any special reaction.

After dinner, Hu Li left. Before leaving, she exchanged contact information with Duan Xu and asked Duan Xu to contact her if he had any problems.

Chen Ye and Duan Xu returned to the room. Chen Ye said, "I was scared to death. I was worried that you would agree to go abroad."

Duan Xu looked at Chen Ye who was sitting beside the bed, "I said I would go to Capital University, what would I do abroad?"

He then asked, "If I really go abroad, will you go?"

Chen Ye thought about it and said, "Go ahead."

Duan Xu raised his eyebrows. Chen Ye's answer was beyond his expectation. He thought Chen Ye would not leave his parents and would not go abroad.

After avoiding his gaze, Chen Ye lay down on the bed. Duan Xu walked to the bedside and touched Chen Ye's legs with his knees. He asked, "Will you go wherever I go in the future?"

Chen also said: "Guess."

Duan Xu smiled and pulled Chen Ye up from the bed. "Go take a shower and then go to sleep."

After graduating from high school, Chen Ye returned to his grandparents' home in the countryside during the summer vacation.

Last summer vacation, Chen also went to his grandparents' house, and this year he went to his grandparents' house.

Li Lijun came from the countryside. He has two older sisters and he is the youngest son.

When we arrived at my grandparents' house, my eldest and second aunts had also returned from the city.

The adults were chatting outside, while Chen Ye, Duan Xu and several cousins ​​stayed in the room, playing with their cell phones.

They only see each other a few times a year, and it's quite awkward every time they do meet.

Yan Yulian grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Chen Ye. "Brother, what grade are you in this year?"

Yan Yulian is the eldest daughter of my second aunt and is already attending university.

Chen Ye said, "I graduated from high school."

After an awkward smile, Yan Yulian asked, "Where's Duan Xu?"

"Duan Xu is a freshman."

Yan Yulian, "Hey, Xiaoguo, have you decided which school to choose after your grades come out?"

"Same as Duan Xu, Capital University."

Luo Ke next to him said sarcastically, "You are so amazing, you can even get into Capital University?"

Luo Ke is the eldest aunt's son. He has always disliked Chen Ye and Duan Xu because during a Chinese New Year gathering in junior high school, the eldest aunt scolded Luo Ke for not making any progress in front of everyone and compared him with Chen Ye and Duan Xu.

Chen was too lazy to argue with Luo Ke, so he didn't respond to Luo Ke's words.

"Why aren't you talking? Maybe you got yourself into a bad mood by bragging."
