A long lecture had You Ran so excited that she was about to decide never to wash dishes again, but then the Queen said calmly, "This dish seems a little too salty."
"Wife, I'll go stir-fry it again right away!" In a flash, You Ran saw a lump of meat rush into the kitchen at an incredible speed.
Before long, a new dish was served, along with a thoughtful mouthwash.
"Wife, try it again." The principal smiled obsequiously, like a sycophant.
He shook his head and sighed leisurely.
Principal, if your parents saw you like this, they wouldn't just be shedding four tears; they'd probably cry their eyes out.
Midway through the meal, the Queen wanted to hear about the couple's romance, so Qu Yun took on the task of telling the story.
Some things that are difficult to talk about have been omitted, some things that are not very romantic have been omitted, and some things that are not conducive to the development of the relationship have been selectively forgotten.
But as she listened, You Ran realized that something was wrong.
"After the breakup, I tried my best to win her back, and You Ran is not a heartless person. Many times, she thought about forgiving me, but under my father's instigation, she still decided to give up on the relationship."
"Of course, Dad meant well. He thought that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the more obstacles our relationship faces, the longer it can last."
"So, I don't mind at all that he tricked me into drinking until I had a stomach hemorrhage. In fact, I'm quite grateful to him."
"Oh, Mom, you didn't know? It happened in the first half of the year. Although I vomited a lot of blood and was in critical condition at the time, I'm fine now. But I still have stomach pains every few days, which greatly increases the possibility of stomach cancer."
After she finished speaking, You Ran bent down and saw that the principal's legs were trembling under the table.
On the table, the Queen cast a chilling gaze at her husband: "Is this how you torment the son I gave birth to more than twenty years ago, a son I shed blood and tears for, risking my life to bring you into this world?"
The principal was sweating profusely.
“I only have one son, so naturally I indulge him in every way. But it seems you don’t care much about him. Do you have other children outside?”
The principal was extremely uncomfortable.
"Or perhaps you think he doesn't resemble you, so you secretly suspect he's not your biological son?"
The principal trembled as if he were sitting on a leaf.
"Come to my room with me."
The principal's round face turned ashen.
After witnessing this event, You Ran looked at Qu Yun with a mixture of admiration and wariness.
"Now you should know who you should submit to in this house." Qu Yun smiled faintly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he made another "ding" sound.
Sure enough, You Ran thought, his skill had reached a new level where not wearing glasses was better than wearing them.
Later, Qu Yun told me that the Queen had a difficult labor for a day when she gave birth to him, and in the end, she had to have a cesarean section. She suffered two of the most terrible torments during her childbirth, which was very hard.
That's probably how it is. The Queen dotes on Qu Yun like a precious gem, spoiling her since she was little.
Although Qu Yun didn't say it explicitly, You Ran could easily guess that the principal must have felt a natural yet unnatural jealousy towards Qu Yun because he saw how favored his son was and thought about his own lowly status at home, which was almost so low that he could crawl into the floor.
Therefore, the father and son were constantly fighting.
However, if you think about it for a second, the principal must have been quite infuriated by Qu Yun over the past twenty years.
After all, Qu Yun didn't need to lift a finger; all he had to do was say a few words to the Queen, and the principal would be dead without a burial place.
Having learned from her experience, You Ran decided to minimize direct conflicts with Qu Yun. To put it bluntly, her intelligence and methods were like the difference between Mount Everest and the Dead Sea compared to Qu Yun's.
That was quite obvious.
You Ran gradually discovered that men, even men like Qu Yun, still have the heart of a child and are occasionally rebellious, but as long as you go along with him on the surface, everything will be fine.
Qu Yun doesn't like her looking at other handsome men, no problem, she can look at them all she wants behind her back.
Qu Yun forbids her from eating too much junk food, but no problem, she secretly eats as much as she wants.
Qu Yun forbids her from wearing denim skirts above the knee, no problem, she can wear them as much as she wants in secret.
As a result, even Qu Yun couldn't help but praise, "You've been very well-behaved lately."
She smiled gently and docilely, but there was still some unease in her heart.
This is all in preparation for the upcoming tornado.
One day in November, the tornado arrived as expected.
When Qu Yun returned home from get off work, she remained silent and looked very unwell.
You Ran quickly lowered her head and obediently handed him slippers and hot tea. She then took the initiative to massage his legs and shoulders, showing concern for his well-being.
But Qu Yun kept a cold face and ignored her.
Having no other choice, I had to resort to my last resort: taking off my clothes.
Last time, You Ran was too tired from studying, so she took Qu Yun's notebook to download Japanese sex videos. By accident, she got a virus and deleted all the courseware that Qu Yun had worked so hard to make, as well as all the activity materials of the college.
You Ran believed that he had no way out but death, so he went all out. After confessing his crimes to Qu Yun, he immediately took off his clothes and stuck them on before Qu Yun's eyebrows would rise.
After a whirlwind of activity, Qu Yun returned to the study to salvage the documents with a satisfied feeling—without uttering a single word of abuse.
At that moment, You Ran understood a fact—her future depended on his sexuality.
The same thing happened again. You Ran immediately took off her clothes and wrapped her whole body around Qu Yun's body like a snake.
This time, Qu Yun didn't even move the space; he simply turned her into a meatball on the sofa.
And it happened twice.
Exhausted both mentally and physically, You Ran was about to drift off to sleep when she heard Qu Yun's cold question: "Why did you apply to C University?"
Yes, the so-called tornado is that You Ran did not apply to the psychology department of her own university as Qu Yun had hoped, but instead applied to the psychology department of C University.
Actually, You Ran didn't mean to lie to Qu Yun. If he got into the same school, wouldn't she and Qu Yun have to be together 24 hours a day? They would get tired of looking at even the most handsome face.
Therefore, she decided to apply to C University, which is a 30-minute drive from her own school. This way, she could still go back to Qu Yun's home every day, and the two of them could have free time, allowing their relationship to stay fresh for longer.
"There must be other reasons," Qu Yun said coldly, glancing at her.
You Ran couldn't help but sigh, "No one understands her better than Qu Yun."
C University is a famous Buddhist temple, and moreover, it is a temple with many handsome monks.
What makes C University unique is that there are very few female students, while the quantity and quality of male students are much better.
You Ran had her own agenda.
Last time I passed by the seafood counter, I glanced at the turtle doctor. Qu Yun made her suffer terribly because her actions weren't aboveboard.
But if she works at the seafood counter, then looking after the seafood is her natural duty.
Getting into C University means you can enjoy all kinds of seafood every day, and when you get home, there's always Qu Yun, a piece of top-quality beef, waiting for you. Even the best of life wouldn't be this wonderful.
Therefore, You Ran boldly applied to C University without telling Qu Yun.
Now, the truth has come out.
However, since the name has already been registered, even if Qu Yun has extraordinary abilities, he cannot change it.
But not wanting to see his icy face every day, You Ran became much more tolerant: normally when Qu Yun asked her to have sex, she would always resist, resist, and resist again, but since the incident, whenever Qu Yun was hungry, she dared not say no and would immediately strip off her clothes and let him eat her.
Despite his gentle and humble demeanor, it had little effect. Qu Yun still seemed quite angry, which was most evident in three places.
First, he always steals You Ran's tomato and beef brisket instant noodles.
Second, he silently doubled the number of times he made meatballs.
Third, he began to physically abuse You Ran: even when she was sick, he would not give her any medicine.
Every winter, You Ran would catch a cold as usual, and she caught it in December.
You Ran wanted Qu Yun to buy her some cold medicine, but Qu Yun refused to buy it no matter what.
Finally, with snot running down her face, You Ran snapped, "Qu Yun, are you just going to watch me die?"
Qu Yun reached out and combed her hair, saying softly, "Our family... has run out of money to buy medicine."
You Ran: "..."
However, Qu Yun was not completely heartless. Although he didn't give her any medicine, he still took good care of You Ran: making her chicken soup, warming her bed, and peeling oranges for her.
With dietary therapy, You Ran recovered without medication.
Finally, in January, the postgraduate entrance examination arrived.
You Ran wasn't too worried, after all, she had studied her heart out and was very confident that she could go online.
On that day, You Ran put on a talisman around her neck and wore a lucky bracelet on her wrist, and arrived at the designated location on time for the exam with a proud and confident air.
When the test papers were handed out, she glanced at them briefly and felt relieved; the difficulty level wasn't high for her.
She took a deep breath and had only completed two multiple-choice questions when the scent of perfume wafted from the girl next to her. It was supposed to be an elegant scent, but for some reason, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in her throat. Before she could react, she vomited it out with a "whoosh."
This was the most humiliating moment of You Ran's life.
Her breakfast, rotten beyond recognition by stomach acid, lay on the floor, emitting an unpleasant odor.
Amidst everyone's strange gazes, You Ran huddled into a ball.
The political exam this morning was even worse than what I had just vomited up.
At noon, You Ran didn't dare to eat lunch. She planned to buy some fast-acting stomach medicine so that she wouldn't do terribly on her English exam in the afternoon.
But when Qu Yun heard this, he insisted on taking her to the hospital. You Ran couldn't refuse and had no choice but to go with him.
Since the doctor needed to rest at noon, Qu Yun asked the Queen to make a phone call to a familiar hospital leader and ask them to send a doctor to wait in the examination room.
When I arrived, there were very few people in the hospital, a stark contrast to its usual overcrowding.
You Ran was pulled into the elevator by Qu Yun. When they were on the third floor, the elevator doors opened and a doctor in a white coat came in.
At first, You Ran didn't pay much attention, but upon closer inspection, the person's back looked somewhat familiar. After thinking about it more carefully, she realized, "Oh my, isn't this the Titanic that refused to help when Gu Chengyuan kidnapped me and I smashed the back of its head on it?"
You Ran erupted in anger, her nostrils flaring as she snorted loudly.
The Titanic sensed something amiss behind it, turned around, saw You Ran, blushed slightly, then looked up and saw Qu Yun. Its face, which had been red with shame, turned deathly pale in an instant.
Before we even reached our floor, the Titanic sped away like smoke, the elevator doors opened, and with a "whoosh," it was gone.
You Ran quickly recounted the crimes committed by the Titanic to Qu Yun, but judging from Qu Yun's expression, he seemed to know everything.
Thinking back to how the Titanic looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, You Ran knew there must be more to the story.
Unable to withstand her questioning, Qu Yun finally confessed that when You Ran disappeared, Qu Yun used many connections to finally find out that Gu Chengyuan owned a villa in the mountains, and rushed there immediately.
