Want To Enroll In A University Part 4

Long Tian was aghast.

"Kidnapped!? Who dares to kidnap Li Chen's daughter?"

Qing Yue looked at him cynically. "Who doesn't want to kidnap Li Chen's daughter?"

Long Tian paused. He'd almost forgotten.

When the world turned bleak and the homeless became dirty and thin-bodied with hunger, their signature saying was 'kidnap Li Chen's daughter and you'll live the rest of your life in bliss'.

He just never expected such a matter to really occur.

"After that kidnapping incident, Dad dropped me out of school. He hired professionally certified teachers and instructors from every subject. I learned everything I needed to learn, but all from home. From that day, I was homeschooled and never stepped foot in Long Junior High again." She sighed helplessly.

Qing Yue already had difficulty blending in with those of her age because of her previous life memories. When homeschooling was added to the mix, she got completely cut off from the rest of the world.

The few friends she made with great difficulty slipped out of her reach and Li Qing Yue was left alone taking lessons from middle-aged instructors in the Li Mansion.

Yei Yi, the only other girl her age who lived in the Li Mansion, became the only friend she had.

Because of that incident, Li Qing Yue didn't only lose the opportunity to make friends. She also lost the little semblance of security she'd come to accept.

She wasn't tortured. But the groping hands of those nasty men became an addition to her nightmares.

This incident drove her to secretly learn martial arts and combat skills from the retired soldiers in the disability centers. And using her rich Dad's money, she hired professional trainers to come to centers twice a week and train her.

Before her accident, Qing Yue was already a certified black belt martial artist. But no one knew this except for the soldiers in the disability centers.

Long Tian stretched his hand and held his wife's bandaged hand. "Yue'er, does this mean you're not enrolled in a university?"

"No...I want to go to a university. I also want to experience the feeling of learning with others and making friends. But after that incident, Dad wasn't comfortable with me going out to study." Qing Yue smiled bitterly and bowed her head.

Long Tian grimaced at the word friends. Then he frowned in confusion.

Why was he bothered with the notion of her making friends?

Shaking his head, he focused back on the despondent girl. "If you want to study at a university, it's not that difficult. I can get you enrolled. You're not just the daughter of Li Chen anymore. You're also my wife, Li Qing Yue. And as your husband, I can enroll you in school and protect you until you complete your education."

"Huh? Brother Tian, you mean...?" Was she hearing things? She could go to school?

Qing Yue felt certain her ears weren't working right after her fainting spell in the tub. She shook her head in the hopes of getting any excess water out and blinked at Long Tian.

"What are you doing?" He folded his arms and asked with amusement.

"I think I had water in my ears. Brother Tian, you were saying something?"

"Um! I was saying I'll enroll you in university and protect you until you get your degree."

This time, Qing Yue heard him loud and clear.

Her ears were clean of water, but his words reverberated in her mind.

Go to University?

She could go to a university and study?

She could really go to a university?

The notion felt as surreal as her constant nightmares.

"Bro...Brother Tian...you..." She stuttered.

"Yue'er will go to University. But you'll need to take the entrance examination. I..."

Before he could complete his words, Qing Yue lunged forward and hugged Long Tian. Her eyes stung and she broke into tears.

"Brother Tian...thank you." She choked.

Not going to University was one of her greatest regrets. She'd always wanted to study medicine and become a professional doctor. Thanks to her husband, Qing Yue finally saw this regret of hers being fulfilled.

Long Tian felt stumped.

He'd only agreed to enroll her in a university, right?

But his wife reacted so strongly. From this, he could tell how much she'd wanted to enroll in university.

His hands rose and fell as he hesitated and felt at a loss. In the end, feeling her silent tremors, he gently embraced her and rubbed her head.

"Yue'er, don't cry. It's not good for your health." He coaxed.

"Uh, you said you'd be able to walk in two-three weeks? When Dr. Ren did your health screen, he said a few months." At first, he only brought up the topic to divert her mind. But by the end of his sentence, he had a strange expression on his face as he gazed down at the little woman in his arms.

"Dr. Ren also said I'd never walk again." She blandly pointed out.

"Heh...that's true. This means Yue'er isn't only beautiful, but a genius as well."

Qing Yue blushed.

Ever since their little run-down about inner beauty, Long Tian would occasionally call her beautiful. Not that she didn't like it. But Qing Yue felt her husband was too shameless to call a mummy like her a beauty.

Heh...If the four women dreaming about him heard this, they'd probably feel like banging their heads on a wall and committing suicide.

If they did, she'd shed a few tears for their early death, but wouldn't feel sad. Because she sensed their hostility and deep resentment on their first encounter.

"Brother Tian, enough. My face is burning from embarrassment. It's already morning. We should go down for breakfast before Aunt Qin sends someone to get us." Qing Yue was truly embarrassed.

If she knew husbands were such shameless flatterers, she would've never brought up the topic of her appearance.

But...if she didn't, then she would've lost the chance to experience this blissful feeling of being shamelessly praised and flattered.

Aye...as a wife, it was so difficult to be satisfied.

"Hmm. But you used poison...are you really okay?" Long Tian was still concerned about this matter. In all his life, he'd never heard of anyone using poison to cure themselves.

But in the past month and a half he spent with his wife, he learned enough about her to know that even if it didn't seem like it, she highly valued her life and wouldn't gamble with it.

Not to mention Dr. Ren's health screen. As unbelievable and surreal as it was, from his report, it was obvious that whatever treatment Qing Yue performed on herself was working.

But was it possible for such a miraculous method to not have any side effects?

The more he thought about it, the more concerned he became and the more Long Tian felt he needed to get a second opinion.

"Yue'er, how about we consult a traditional medicine practitioner? I still don't feel at ease." He looked at her with furrowed brows.

His wife was his responsibility. He didn't want to show the slightest negligence in her matters.

"Brother Tian, you're worrying baselessly. I want to get my legs back. But that doesn't mean I'd harm myself. So relax. Moreover, even if we consult a traditional medicine practitioner, they won't be able to find out anything. Because I used poisonous herbs, not medicinal herbs, to treat myself."
