The day Yang Pu left, everyone went to the airport to see him off. He smiled and hugged each friend tightly before parting ways. When he hugged Tong Jing, Yang Pu didn't say a word, he just wanted to savor the unique scent on her body, perhaps he would never find another woman with that same scent again.

  "In America, you have to take good care of yourself," Tong said.

  Yangpu smiled slightly and nodded.

  Thick feelings of parting sorrow filled the air, everything was in silence, the originally bustling airport seemed to suddenly quiet down, quietly as if one could clearly hear the sound of heartbeat.

  Then, Yang Pu waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, pushing the luggage quickly into the security checkpoint, handing over the documents to the security personnel. What was left for Tong Jing was a meaningful smile and a lonely distant back view, but she couldn't give him anything.

  On the way back, there were few cars on the highway. Tong Jing looked out of the window at the planes flying by in the sky, leaving behind a beautiful trail, but it was very ruthless. Her mood had been low all the way, and Bo Yang was the same.

  That night they made love without stopping, from the kitchen to the living room and then to the bedroom, they indulged wildly, passionately, and lovingly, forgetting everything in the world, forgetting tomorrow's life, forgetting who each other was - perhaps the two wanted to shed the warmth left in their hearts by Yang Pu, or perhaps they wanted to sublimate their love, never to be apart again.

  She and Bo Yang had been living a happy life, but three months later, she unexpectedly saw Gong Shengkai again on her own campus. She turned around and left like she had seen a ghost. Gong Shengkai didn't catch up with her. He was there to handle the transfer procedures from Tsinghua University to the Second Foreign Language University, without any demotion, still in his third year, but switching from the original finance major to the current translation major.

  He, a nobleman who received English and Chinese education since childhood, is proficient in four languages: Chinese, English, French, and Spanish. High-level translation is child's play for him. Giving up Tsinghua to come to Erwai, isn't it just to see Tong Jun more often?

  But Tong Jing won't take your feelings, she hates you and can't even stand seeing you, it's like someone is always hinting to her that her time is up, the calm mood she had finally achieved would be shrouded in nightmares again, the hard-won happiness she had, was it about to end?

  Gong Shao Ye just wanted to see her, never going to disturb her life, he was also afraid of startling her, being able to see her every day was enough, his spiritual sustenance was Tong Jing, because he had been poisoned by a poison called "Tong Jing", only Tong Jing could cure it. Such days lasted for a long time.

  In the months leading up to the college entrance exam, Tong Yao received an offer from Tokyo University in Japan. However, Tong Yao said he wanted to take the second foreign language exam instead. At that time, no one knew about Tong Yao's idea, and it was Shi Ke'er who first found out and called Tong Jing to inform him. Tong Jing immediately rushed back to Hangzhou after buying a ticket, trying his best to persuade Tong Yao to further his studies at Tokyo University.

  "Sister, don't say anything more, I've already decided to go to the second foreign language department——" Tóng Yào's face, which had originally been immature, had matured a lot, he was still handsome beyond words, or rather even more handsome than when he was younger, and after his voice changed, his tone also became more masculine.

  As soon as the words fell, Tong Jing slapped him with a loud slap, "You're just this kind of person, your only pursuit in life is to follow me around, Tong Yao you're a man, you should take on all the responsibilities that a man should have! The entire Tong family has placed all their hopes on you, are you going to disappoint them like this!!"

  She had to hit him, her heart aching secretly. She hoped to wake up Tong Yao. If there was an opportunity to go to Dongda, why give it up? She couldn't just watch as her own brother ruined his future for her sake. He could fly higher and farther, and he was the only child of the Tong family. The revival of the Tong family in the future also depended on him!

  Tong Yao was stunned there, looking at Tong Jing in disbelief. This slap came too suddenly and really stunned him. He bit his lip and didn't make a sound.

  "This time, no matter what, listen to your sister and go to Dongda..." Tong Jun's tone softened again, squatting in front of Tong Yao, holding his face, her voice choked with sobs.

  "You don't want me to appear by your side from time to time, fine. Tong Jun, I'll grant you that, I'll go to Japan, but - I won't consider you my sister anymore!" He nodded in disappointment, directly saying "Tong Jun" her name, rather than the title of "sister". He couldn't bear Tong Jun pushing him away again and again. He had finally grown up and had the opportunity to be in the same school as her, but was heartlessly pushed away. He didn't want to be the little brother in her eyes anymore. Since she wanted him to leave, then fine, he would leave, far, far away, but he vowed that he would never consider her his sister again!

  Tong Jing had a moment of daze, holding Tong Yao's hand and suddenly letting go, "What does it mean?"

  "In a legal sense, I want to sever our sibling relationship. In other words, from now on, you are no longer a member of the Tóng family." Tóng Yào gazed at Tóng Jǐng's eyes without a ripple, as if his heart was made of stone at this moment, not feeling even a little bit of emotion, neither pain nor itchiness, just like being injected with anesthetic. The deepest pain is actually equivalent to numbness.

  Tong Jing was still crouching in front of Tong Yao, staring blankly at him, unable to utter a word. It wasn't until much later, when he was squatting on the ground and couldn't even get up, that Tong Yao slowly spat out a single syllable: "Good!"

  She didn't even know how she got back to Beijing, and inexplicably came down with a high fever that lasted for two whole days. Bai Yang also stayed in the hospital for two whole days, and he had no idea what was going on between Tong Jing and Tong Yao. He just thought Tong Jing had caught a chill in Hangzhou and couldn't shake off the fever. Of course, theoretically speaking, but emotions also played a big part in it.

  After recovering from her illness, Tong Xuan's will had been low for a long time. Bo Yang always felt that she was hiding something in her heart and wanted to wait for Tong Xuan to come and tell him herself, but no matter how long he waited, Tong Xuan never spoke up. The more anxious he became, the more he couldn't bear it, until one day he finally couldn't help but rush over to ask: "Tong Xuan, is something wrong?"

  Tong Jingxin was shocked at that moment. She thought Bai Yang knew everything about her and Gong Shengkai in the art class.

  This shock is too obvious.

  "Come, come to me, tell me what's wrong?" Bai Yang gently wrapped his arms around Tong Jun, carefully placing her head on his shoulder.

  Tong Jing let out a sigh of relief in her heart, it turned out that Bai Yang still didn't know about that matter. But his embrace was too warm, warm enough to make her want to cry, she also tightly wrapped her arms around Bai Yang, and in her heart, there was another thing she wanted to tell him, "Bai Yang, Tong Yao said I'm no longer his sister, nor am I a member of the Tong family, he hates me for abandoning him..."

  Bo Yang quietly listened, without interrupting, and slowly slid a finger down Tong Jing's head.

  "I'm heartbroken, but I know I hurt him first. The rift between us can't be mended now. What should I do?" Tong Jing burst into tears in Bai Yang's arms like a little woman, and even the calmest mindset would collapse under certain emotional stimuli.

  "Buddha said, everything is fate, what's the point of thinking so much? The Tongs don't want you anymore, but I do, right? Follow me and you'll have all the good food and drink you can handle. I'll fatten you up for sure!" Bo Yang pinched Tong Jun's cheeks and said with a smile.

  Tong Jing listened and burst out laughing, "I need you to help me think of a way, look at all these things you've dragged in..."

  "This is me helping you think of a way, wait until you graduate and marry me, then you can join the Bai family!" Bo Yang said with increasing enthusiasm.

  "Who wants to marry you!" Tong Jing said while biting Bai Yang's chin.

  "You're not learning well, learning from Xiao Teddy, will bite people, watch me not bite you to death!" Bai Yang tightened his hand on Tong Jun's waist and leaned in, biting back, biting and biting, until they ended up kissing, and finally rolled into bed.

  It has to be said that Bai Yang is indeed the pillar of Tong Jun's life force. She really thought that days would go by peacefully, and then they would live happily ever after like the princess and prince in fairy tales, never parting ways again. And her younger brother Tang Yue would eventually understand her too. But no matter how good you think things are, some things are bound to happen - what's meant to come will still come.
