Chapter 388: Eternal Third Place

“You can only register abroad.” Song Mian gave an inexplicable gentle smile.

Among the descendants of the Song Family, only sons of the direct bloodline had it hard. The extended families were luxuriant and were involved in various industries.

If they all were to be involved in their own country, it would be dominating the economical lifeline. This was not a good thing, but rather a sign of destruction.

Regardless of whether they were from extended families or the direct bloodline, the Song Family’s descendants are allowed to take an interest in any field. It was just that they were cut off from political and military careers the moment they were born.

Even the most influential people would have to learn to choose, let alone them. Even the people with most authority would have times where they were helpless.

This was somewhat a sensitive topic. Yun Xiangxiang felt that the atmosphere was a little tense. So, she ran to Song Mian again, “I don’t quite understand, tell it to me.”

“It’s not as you think, but any kind of monopoly is not conducive to development.” Song Mian reached out his hand and brushed Yun Xiangxiang’s nose.

He still talked about the topic with Yun Xiangxiang seriously in the end. On this flight that lasted for more than ten hours, Yun Xiangxiang spent half the time letting Song Mian lecture.

Although Song Mian was not going to leave this month, Yun Xiangxiang had to go to school. She couldn’t go to Song Mian every day with a textbook in her hand after returning from school.

The two would still need some time for other things occasionally, but her schedule was about to get tight in the next semester. For her to keep up with progress, Yun Xiangxiang still thought that there was no harm in having a thorough grasp. It could even help pass this boring time.

It was already night when they got home, but it wasn’t too late. It didn’t matter that dinner time had passed as Song Mian cooked some noodles for Yun Xiangxiang.

Although her parents were away, Yun Xiangxiang still had a younger brother. It wouldn’t be nice to abandon her brother and run upstairs.

This was even more so after she returned to find that Yun Lin was sick. He had a fever and a flu; his whole person was frail. Yun Xiangxiang’s heart ached at this sight.

Song Mian immediately carried Yun Lin into his room to prevent the overflow of his girlfriend’s maternal instincts, whereby ignoring herself because of her guilt of owing it to her brother would be the natural thing to do.

“I will take care of him tonight and make sure that he will be alive and well tomorrow.” Song Mian calmed Yun Xiangxiang.

Sure enough, Yun Xiangxiang’s heart didn’t ache for her younger brother anymore, but instead for her boyfriend, “You had been taking care of me while on the plane, now that you got off, you want to take care of Little Lin? How about you tend to Little Lin tomorrow?”

Yun Lin, who felt uncomfortable throughout his body, whose throat was about to catch fire, and who just wanted to be saved: …

I am just a thirteen-year-old child. Why must I bear so much?

This is not my sister. My sister must have been kidnapped by aliens wuwuwu…

“It cannot be delayed. He has just gotten ill; he’ll be fine after giving him some medicine and massage him. We can’t delay anymore time. Let him sleep with me, also to prevent recurrence later at night. I have time to rest.” Song Mian said to Yun Xiangxiang gently.

Yun Xiangxiang’s heart still ached extremely. Yun Lin’s heart also ached extremely, to the point where it was shattered into pieces.

Song Mian carried Yun Lin away in the end. The next morning, after Yun Xiangxiang had finished her morning exercise and returned, Song Mian had already sent her message asking her to come upstairs for breakfast.

She was going to school to sign up today. Yun Lin had already awakened when she got upstairs and followed behind Song Mian like a little tail.

The gaze from those little eyes had a sense of admiration. Yun Xiangxiang felt that if Yun Zhibin were to see this, he would probably blow up…

He would indeed feel in his heart that this boy from the Song Family was his nemesis that had abducted his precious daughter, and also abducted the son he took pride in.

However, Yun Xiangxiang could still understand that those who were ill would be weak and vulnerable. Especially in her previous life, when she was alone and had a fever so high, it blurred her vision and had no one to care for her.

At that time, if there was someone by her side, she would have an overwhelming affection for this person, and would also be overly dependent on them.

“Is there still anywhere that you feel uncomfortable?” Yun Xiangxian asked Yun Lin in concern.

“I’m okay now. My throat doesn’t hurt anymore too.” Yun Lin’s voice was still a little coarse, but he was in good spirits.

Song Mian had made him a medicine porridge that nourished his lungs and made him a nutritious breakfast. Yun Xiangxiang looked at Song Mian, “Boyfriend, I know that there is nothing you cannot do, but I hope that you would stop pushing yourself like this…”

“Even if I didn’t make breakfast, I would still get up and do other things.” Song Mian said to Yun Xiangxiang frankly.

Yun Xiangxiang was speechless.

Alright then, she had given up. She might as well enjoy it openly. She would feel that she was argumentative if she were to continue talking.

“If you get tired and sick, I will throw you aside!” After breakfast, Yun Xiangxiang acted a fierce look before she left.

Song Mian almost grabbed her at this sight, refusing to let her leave his sight.

As she returned to her bedroom, there was yet another cheer. Tao Manni and the others gathered around and hugged Yun Xiangxiang, not wanting to let go, “Missed you.”

They missed her. It was too difficult for them to meet. Ma Linlin said bitterly, “Xiangxiang, take Mengmeng and the others to see the world…”

Although she knew that Yun Xiangxiang treated Song Meng, Li Xiangling, and the others differently because they had shared a bond of many years, Ma Linlin still felt a little jealous and uncomfortable.

She knew that this was not a matter of comparison. She was only jealous instead because of a genuinely deep and care for herself. Yun Xiangxiang didn’t care at all, but instead hooked onto her shoulder, “If I invite you, will you go?”

Ma Linlin kept her mouth shut obediently and immediately. She couldn’t go.

It wasn’t because her financial conditions wouldn’t allow her to. Although she didn’t come from a wealthy family, they were also not poor. An overseas vacation wasn’t a problem.

The main reason was that it would not be easy to convince her parents. Her parents had never been overseas before and had some worries about foreign countries.

She couldn’t let them worry and run away by herself stubbornly.

“I can’t go either…” Tao Manni looked dejected. She didn’t have the money.

It also wasn’t because her family was poor, but instead, she felt embarrassed to ask her parents for money at her age. Her family also wasn’t incredibly rich.

The most important thing was that she had two months of summer vacation. She could work and earn a year’s worth of tuition fees, allowing her to have richer living expenses.

There was no need to mention Feng Xiaolu. Within their dormitory, Feng Xiaolu was the only one whose family background wasn’t too great. She was even from a single-parent family.

“Are my grades out?” Yun Xiangxiang changed the topic.

Students could already check for results during the holiday, except that Yun Xiangxiang didn’t look it up.

“What else can you remember about school besides the exam?” Tao Manni couldn’t help but complain.

She knew that Yun Xiangxiang was an extremely busy person, but did she need to be so lazy to check her results when it would only take a few minutes?

“What’s the point of checking it if I would know after coming to school anyway?” They would announce the results when school reopens.

“You got third in your whole department. There is no rise or fall.” Feng Xiaolu replied.

“Is it still our class monitor and the monitor from another class that is pressing on my head?” Yun Xiangxiang was quite happy that her grades didn’t drop.

If an eternal third place was something she could be till graduation, it was still something to be happy about.

“Our class monitor fell in love last semester and slipped out of the top ten this semester. The second class’ monitor got first place, and Yang Qi got second!” Ma Linlin gritted her teeth as she mentioned this.

Yang Qi had already said to fangirl Yun Xiangxiang with the rest and always have Yun Xiangxiang’s back. She also seemed to be quite busy in life. How did she advance so viciously even to surpass her idol!
