Chapter 87 Tang Xiaoyu's Revenge
  The Wen family stayed at the Tang residence for three or four days.

  Wen Ning had been trying to have a proper talk with Tang Xiaoyu, but she always found excuses to dodge the calls. With school about to start, Wen Ning and his mother had no choice but to send Wen Ling to a local university. Wen Ning then sent his mother on a train back home before packing up and heading back to Capital University.

  Tang Xiaoyu had been mulling over how to settle the score with Fang Qing, but she couldn't think of a better solution.

  Fang Qing and Ning Gege were in the same university, and Ning Gege would definitely have to go back to participate. Even if he wanted to do something, Ning Gege would quickly discover it.

  This approach wasn't working.

  Tang Xiaoyu tapped her chin as she paced the room. Suddenly, she remembered Wen Ling's words that her closeness to Ning Gege would lead to Fang Qing misunderstanding her. Tang Xiaoyu finally knew how to deal with Fang Qing.

  "Hmph, you didn't misunderstand? Then I'll make sure you misunderstand completely."

  Sitting on the train, Wen Ning's eyes were closed, but a hint of worry lingered within him.

  He had returned to school expecting to spend some quality time with Fang Qing, but just before departure, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly insisted on going too.

  In the past, Wen Ning might have agreed.

  But ever since his sister's reminder that day, Wen Ning clearly realized that Xiaoyu's attitude towards him was still problematic. He'd explained it so clearly, yet she still refused to give up? Wen Ning felt a headache, finally regretting his indulgence of Xiaoyu during their childhood.

  Consequently, Wen Ning had suddenly changed his approach to Tang Xiaoyu.

  He no longer helped her with things like they had when they were little, no longer allowed her to get close, and even rejected inappropriate hugs and acts of coquettishness. Anything that crossed the line between men and women was forbidden.

  Tang Xiaoyu had even had a huge argument with him over this, demanding to know why he had changed.

  Wen Ning, not wanting Fang Qing to bear the brunt of the blame, bluntly told Tang Xiaoyu that he and Fang Qing were in a relationship, and also stated that he treated her like a brother and sister. This irritated Tang Xiaoyu, and she ignored Wen Ning for several days.

  Director Tang, who doted on his daughter, saw this and talked to Wen Ning, hoping that he would be more tolerant of Xiaoyu.

  But Wen Ning was firm. "Uncle Tang, I understand your good intentions, but some things cannot be solved by simply indulging her. I already have a girlfriend, and it's not good for either of us to be entangled with Xiaoyu like this. Xiaoyu is always a sister in my heart. As a brother, I have the obligation to help her when she needs it, but I can't give her anything beyond brotherly love."

  Director Tang sighed. He was also responsible for the fact that he had neglected to discipline his daughter over the years and let her develop such an arrogant and domineering character. "Xiaoning, uncle knows it's been hard for you all these years. But Xiaoyu has liked you since she was a child. Even if you want to reject her, give her some buffer time. For Uncle Tang's sake, please be more tolerant of her." Wen

  Ning thought about the relationship between the two families, looked at the white hair on Uncle Tang's temples, and silently swallowed back the rejection that was on the tip of his tongue. "Okay."

  Wen Ning thought Xiaoyu would always ignore him, but he didn't expect that on the day he was going back to Capital University, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly followed him with a suitcase, and said with a cold face that she wanted to go with him.

  Facing Uncle Tang's pleading gaze, Wen Ning couldn't refuse. He simply glanced calmly at Tang Xiaoyu, nodded, and boarded the train.

  Tang Xiaoyu had always ridden in the upscale soft sleeper berths, but this was her first time sharing a hard seat with Wen Ning, and everything about it felt awkward. The crowds were so tight, and even with the windows open for ventilation, the sour, stench of the air still lingered in her nostrils.

  Covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, Tang Xiaoyu sat down with a look of disdain, breathing heavily into the wind for several breaths before finally recovering.

  "Brother Ning, why are you sitting in a hard seat? I'll pay extra, let's switch to a soft sleeper, okay?"

  Tang Xiaoyu grabbed Wen Ning's sleeve as usual, pouting and acting coquettishly, but Wen Ning expressionlessly pulled her sleeve back. "If you want to switch, go ahead. I'll take this one."

  Tang Xiaoyu's face twisted at Wen Ning's refusal, but she took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Hmph, I'm not going! Don't think you can get rid of me like this. I'll follow you even to the garbage dump."

  Wen Ning remained unresponsive to Tang Xiaoyu's nagging, simply leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes. Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyu bit her lip and sat back, staring at Wen Ning for a long time, until her neck grew sore. Then she shifted her position and leaned against the window, lost in thought.

  The train swayed, and Tang Xiaoyu had unknowingly fallen asleep. It wasn't until Wen Ning shook her vigorously that she saw the sign for Capital Station outside the window.

  Following Wen Ning out of the station, across the square, and into the subway station, Tang Xiaoyu was so exhausted she could barely stand up straight. Watching Wen Ning striding ahead, two suitcases in hand, Tang Xiaoyu suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

  Brother Ning, whom she had loved for so many years, seemed like a completely different person. Hadn't he always doted on her? He'd never let her suffer such injustice, but now, not only was he ignoring her, but he was also walking on alone, not even waiting for her. Didn't he know she'd never suffered anything like this before?
  "Brother Ning, wait for me! I'm so tired! I can't walk anymore!"

  Wen Ning, walking ahead, slammed down his two suitcases and glanced back at Tang Xiaoyu. "You wanted to come here, and you wanted to go to school with me. There are no taxis around here, so this is the only way. If you can't stand it, I'll take you back now. There are some nice hotels near the station..."

  Before Wen Ning could finish, Tang Xiaoyu stood up. "No, no, I want to go to school with you. I don't want to go that far away from your school! Don't try to get rid of me!" With that, he put his hands on his hips and walked on angrily.

  Wen Ning sighed as he watched her, then picked up his suitcase and walked forward.

  Capital University is located in the heart of the city. Surrounded by an ancient garden and several other renowned universities, the area is breathtakingly beautiful and the air fresh. Walking along feels like stepping into a painting. It was

  Fang Qing's first time in such a large city, and the sights were dazzling. After getting off the train, Fang Qing and her parents saw a sign for a Capital University pick-up station.

  A dark and honest young man's eyes lit up when he saw them coming, and he immediately stepped forward to ask, "Are you here to report?"

  Fang Qing saw the school badge on the other person's chest and the word "receptionist" on his sleeve, and immediately nodded, "Yes, how do I get to the school?"

  The young man was dazzled by Fang Qing's smile and hurriedly explained, "We are here. We are from the sophomore student union and are responsible for receiving freshmen. My name is Wang Chaoyang. Come with me and sign in here."

  Fang Qing led Fang Qing and his group to a table, where he wrote down his name and department. Wang Chaoyang, who was standing by, looked at Fang Qing's name, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly took note of it in his heart.
