Chapter 19 The World's First University

He stopped for a few seconds, then suddenly turned and ran.

Wen Fengmian was taken aback and shouted: "Yuyu, where are you going?"

But the boy was already out of sight.

"Cough cough cough..." Wen Fengmian was angry and couldn't help coughing again: "Look at him, why did he run away when you came back?"

"You are not in good health, let's go in first." Ying Zijin patted him on the back, "I'll take a look."

Yuyu is Wen Fengmian's biological son, whose name is Wen Tinglan. He has such nickname because he was sick when he was a child.

They are not blood relatives, but the relationship between them is deeper than their relatives.

"Yaoyao ..." He stopped talking and then sighed, "Okay."

He smiled and his facial features were refined: "I going to cook for you, and when you come back later, we'll be able to eat."

Ying Zijin nodded: "You should only cook glutinous rice balls."

Don't even think about touching oily foods.

The medicinal materials here are too few, and she needs to regulate Wen Fengmian's body in all aspects.

Wen Fengmian coughed lightly, feeling uncomfortable: "Daddy knows, you should go and find the Yuyu soon."

There is a stance of chasing people.

"If I come back and find out—" Ying Zijin glanced at the kitchen casually, with a gentle tone, "You know what to do."

Wen Fengmian suddenly felt that his daughter had become fierce after she came back: "... "

He felt helpless and funny: "Okay, dad will listen to you."

Ying Zijin nodded and then left.

Seeing the girl's leaving back, Wen Fengmian sighed softly, his mood feeling complicated as his eyes started to get red.

How could he not see that she had lost a lot of weight after coming back.

Their family used to be poor but he would not let the two children suffer from hunger.

What happened after Yaoyao returned to Ying's house?

Didn't the Ying family say that she will live a good life after taking her back?

Wen Fengmian frowned and coughed again, feeling very worried.

**

When Ying Zijin found Wen Tinglan, he was standing alone by the river, silently watching the fireworks in the distance, his eyes were pitch black and still.

The night is deep, and there was a gust of cool breeze.

A thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the river, reflecting the full moon.

The young man is like the wind, his back is tall and straight.

Wearing white clothes and black trousers that gives him an elegant temperament.

He is the type that girls at school will get excited about.

Ying Zijin walked forward, took out a lollipop from her pocket, and handed it to him: "Peach flavor."

But Wen Tinglan didn't pick it up or even move.

He laughed. His laughter was very cold. "I thought you would never come back in your life. Why did you even come back?"

There was no answer.

After waiting for ten minutes, the boy turned his head with his cold eyes.

But after he took a close look, his eyes suddenly changed.

The girl's body is obviously thinner than when they parted a year ago, and he could see the pinholes in her arms under the moonlight.

It's densely packed that it couldn't be counted by just how many holes are there.

It was not obvious at first but because her skin was sickly white, it became clearer.

It's shocking.

Wen Tinglan's body froze. He stared at the pinholes in a daze. When he opened his mouth, his voice was dumb: "Sister, are... you sick?"

She hasn't come back for a year. Is it because of illness?

Ying Zijin did not answer, took out the lollipop again, then raised her eyebrows: "Are you not angry anymore?"

Because of some things in the past, her brother has a very serious autism.

It only got better when he was ten years old, but it also caused his indifferent and introverted temperament.

In the beginning, even Wen Fengmian couldn't get close to him.

The year that she had no news has caused him a lot of harm.

*Watch the sea billowed by the wind, soaring for ninety thousand miles.

Wen Tinglan. Wen Fengmian puts high hopes on this name.

"What's the matter?" Wen Tinglan did not answer her question instead his eyes darkened as he asked her, "Sister, is Ying's family not good to you? What did they do?"

"It's okay, everything's fine." Ying Zijin kicked the stones on the ground and smiled faintly, "Just study hard, and don't care about other things."

Wen Tinglan is a genius since he was a child but because of his frailty, he started school at the age of thirteen. Even so, he jumped several levels.

He is one year younger than her but he's already in his third year of high school this year, and will take the college entrance examination in June.

Hearing this, Wen Tinglan's lips tightened, and his arm trembled as he took the lollipop.

He tore off the sugar paper, put it in his mouth, and bite it.

It's sweet, same as before, but he felt inexplicably blocked.

Even after a long time, he still can't forget the ugly faces of those people a year ago.

"What is Wen Zijin? Zijin is the daughter of our Ying family, and naturally the surname is Ying. Don't mess around."

"If the students in Qingzhi knew that she had a farmer father and younger brother, what would they think of her? "

This is one hundred thousand. Forget that you have a daughter. She will never see you in the future again. You will only hold her back, do you understand?"

Then, his sister really didn't come back for a year, and didn't even made a phone call.

He waited and waited until he gave up.

He thought she had forgotten about them after she went to Shanghai.

Now it appears that it was clearly what Ying's family did, and that she had a bad life.

Wen Tinglan pursed his lips again, and whispered: "Sister, I'm sorry. I shouldn't complain against you."

He knew that he's mentally ill and his hostility was not small, but he just couldn't control it.

His head hang slightly, his fingers clenched.

He is trying to change his self.

He really wanted to become a normal person.

"I'm not blaming you." Ying Zijin put her hands in her pockets, "Let's go back, Dad is probably anxiously waiting."

As soon as the knot in his heart was untied, Wen Tinglan's tight body loosened. Just like in the past ten years, he talked: "I didn't actually go to class this afternoon. I asked for leave."

Ying Zijin nodded slightly: "Did you go to the market in the city to buy meat?"

"Yeah." Wen Tinglan was silent and flatly said, "Dad's body is getting worse and worse, and I want to make up for him."

In normal times, even if there is meat to eat, Wen Fengmian won't take a bite.

Ying Zijin thought about it for a moment: "Then, have you thought about which University you want to go?"

" Yes." Speaking about this topic, a shallow light floated in the young boy's dark eyes, which is brighter than the moon and stars, "Sister, I want to go to Imperial Capital University."

Imperial Capital University, the number one university in China that thousands of students want to enter.

Ying Zijin was not surprised by this answer. With Wen Tinglan's ability, even if there were not enough learning resources, he could easily pass the exam.

Wen Tinglan added: "However, I actually want to go to Norton University the most, but I can't go without a letter of recommendation written by the president himself."

Ying Zijin made an expression: "What university?"

"Norton University." Wen Tinglan thought she didn't know, so he took out his mobile phone and searched for encyclopedia entries to show her, "This one ranked first in QS World University, and it hasn't changed."

Ying Zijin looked at the screen and fell silent.

She always felt that there were many things that were wrong after she came back this time.

It doesn't matter if the Laurent family has opened banks all over the world, after all, stingy people earn money quickly.

But how can a madman who only studies theology makes the university number one in the world?
