Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1550 - 1535: Everyone Was Young Once

"I don’t want to go." Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "I’m not interested!"

"Not interested? Why? The education at Hong Kong University is actually different from domestic universities. In every aspect, it surpasses even our best QH University in Shen Zhou by a lot. You can definitely learn a lot there. Besides, haven’t you always wanted to get into a good school?" Song Yun said in surprise.

"Exactly, and they also promised that as long as Xiao Hua can become the top scorer in this college entrance exam, she will get a scholarship of 500,000 a year. If she ranks second, it’s 300,000 a year, and third, it’s 100,000 a year. With Xiao Hua’s grades, being in the top three in Sunnan is definitely not a problem. This is an opportunity to both study and earn money; where else can you find such a good deal these days?" Xiao Hua’s mother chimed in.

"Money can be earned, but I just don’t want to go to Hong Kong University." Xiao Hua shook her head.

"Why!"

Song Yun asked, "You must have a reason! You can’t just say you don’t want to go and that’s it. Xiao Hua, you’re an adult now, and whatever you do, you should have a reason."

"I... I have a university I want to attend." Xiao Hua said, lowering her head, "My goal is that university, and I won’t consider others!"

"Which university?" Song Yun asked.

"I’m not telling you." Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "I’ll let you know after I get the acceptance letter."

"Why not tell, not even your brother?" Xiao Hua’s mother asked beside her.

"No." Xiao Hua rubbed her hands together and said, "I’m not telling anyone!"

Beside her, Qingluan looked at Xiao Hua with an understanding smile but said nothing. Song Yun, curious, asked, "Xiao Hua, you’re not planning to study abroad, are you? That’s fine too. I know several people in prestigious universities abroad. Just tell me which school, and I’ll arrange it for you."

"No, I want to study in the country." Xiao Hua shook her head. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Then she sneaked a glance at Song Yun, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Sigh, Xiao Hua, you child, why are you so stubborn! Why do you do this!"

Xiao Hua’s mother seemed a bit annoyed, "You’re not saying which university you want to attend, and you’re not going to Hong Kong University. How can I not be worried, this is the most important time in your life, and choosing a university is even more important. Don’t make your mother worry!"

"I won’t, Mom. I will definitely get into a good university." Xiao Hua said, "And I will definitely get accepted!"

Song Yun, frowning, said puzzled, "What university is better than Hong Kong University?"

"It may not be the best, but that’s the university I want to attend." Xiao Hua said firmly.

Looking at Xiao Hua’s determined expression, Song Yun seemed to see the little girl singing with a guitar on stage back then. He couldn’t help smiling and said, "If that’s the case, it’s up to you. Auntie, it’s okay. One year of 500,000 actually isn’t much. With Xiao Hua managing my businesses, her annual dividends are certainly more than that. You can rest assured! Therefore, I can vouch for Xiao Hua’s future. My sister is definitely a dragon among people."

"Sigh, I’m just worried she won’t find someone to marry in the future." Xiao Hua’s mother said helplessly, "For a girl, it’s best to find a stable job... Song Yun, it’s not that I’m saying your kind of place is bad, but... we’re a traditional family. I don’t like Xiao Hua coming home so late at night and sometimes drinking. Sigh!"

"Then I can arrange a different place for Xiao Hua. Xiao Hua, if you have your eyes on any company, let me know, and I’ll arrange a job for you, or if you want to be a civil servant, I can arrange a position for you. I can’t promise much, but I can ensure you’ll become an officer within three years." Song Yun said with a smile.

"No need, brother, Xiao Hua will work hard herself." Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Trust Xiao Hua!"

"Auntie, you see, Xiao Hua has said so herself. I think Xiao Hua is best like this now, with no worries and no pressure, she can choose what she likes. Isn’t that what life is? Rather than planning her life, we should let her go with the flow. What we need to do is trust her." Song Yun said.

"Sigh, that’s all we can do. I’ll go make something for you to eat; it’s almost noon. Auntie bought a lot of things! Song Yun, prepare to enjoy a feast."

Saying this, Xiao Hua’s mother stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Thank you, brother!"

Xiao Hua looked at Song Yun gratefully and said, "Thank you for trusting me!"

"You’re my sister, if I don’t trust you, who else would I trust?" Song Yun said with a smile.

"Then I’ll go help mom cook, you go make tea first." Xiao Hua said and went to the kitchen.

"Song Yun, are you really clueless, or just pretending to be?" Qingluan asked with interest, looking at Song Yun.

Song Yun smiled and said, "I don’t want to know, and I don’t need to know. Xiao Hua is my sister, and she will always be my sister!"

Song Yun’s words were a bit loud, and Xiao Hua, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, shuddered at his voice, then her hands started trembling involuntarily.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Hua’s mother reached out and gently patted Xiao Hua’s head, saying, "My daughter, honestly, I don’t care which university you attend; the key is that you like it. But, I really don’t want to see you like this..."

"Mom, I’m really okay!"

Xiao Hua shook her head with a smile, but her hands trembled even more.

"Who hasn’t been young before! When I was young, I was just like you!"

Xiao Hua’s mother shook her head and said, "When you’re young, there are always those who can stir your heart, who let you feel the sweet taste of love. But ultimately, that’s youth, and many things are just fantasy. Song Yun is a good kid and has always been your good brother. I don’t mean to say that our status doesn’t match theirs. The thing is, Mom can tell that Song Yun really doesn’t want anything to happen with you. I think you both are very good like this. So, my daughter, don’t go to Sunnan University!"

"Mom, I understand everything." Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "I know what Brother Song Yun means, I understand. But I just want to go to Sunnan University. You don’t have to persuade me anymore. I just want to experience everything he experienced!"

"Sigh!"

Xiao Hua’s mother sighed and said nothing.

A drop of water fell on the back of Xiao Hua’s hand.
