Over ten thousand meters in the air, the private jet was smoothly shuttling through the clouds.
Tang Yunle pressed her cheek against the porthole, her dark black eyes wide, curiously looking at the churning sea of clouds outside the window, her eyes filled with an undisguised surprise and excitement.
And the young man, Qin Liang, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, was looking down at his phone with concentration, his ice-blue pupils clearly reflecting the jumping messages on the chat interface.
How long is a semester in college?
Fifteen to eighteen weeks, which is about three or four months.
Now, the first semester of their freshman year had just ended, and the two of them were heading to Qin Liang’s home together.
Tang Yunle looked at the strange scenery outside the window for a while before she reluctantly looked away. When she turned to look at Qin Liang, her face still had a childish excitement.
“Ah Liang, how is your family so rich?”
“A plane! And it’s private!”
“Don’t tell me your family also has a private helipad?”
Being praised in such an admiring tone by the girl, Qin Liang was a little embarrassed. But when he met the sparkling, admiring gaze from the other side, he subconsciously straightened his back.
“Ahem, actually, it’s okay,” he coughed lightly, his tone as calm as possible. “My family is just a little rich. Compared to those truly great families in Kyoto, we’re still far behind.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and added, “Uh… of course, I’m talking about the original world.”
“As for the specific situation of my family in this world, to be honest, I still haven’t completely figured it out.”
Tang Yunle nodded thoughtfully, took a sip of the lemonade in front of her, and then said with a straw in her mouth, her voice muffled.
“Then tell me about your family. It doesn’t have to be too specific. Just a general outline is fine. So that I can have an idea when I get to your house later. Don’t use other excuses to brush me off like you did the past few times.”
Her cheeks were slightly puffed out, with a hint of coquettishness.
Ever since Qin Liang had been to her house, she had been trying to find out about Qin Liang’s family situation. But Qin Liang had been tight-lipped, refusing to reveal a single detail, no matter how much she acted cute, called him ‘daddy,’ or even…
Currently, all she knew was that Qin Liang’s family was very rich and was a family of four.
“This…” Qin Liang touched his nose, a little embarrassed. “Do you really want to know?”
“Nonsense. Otherwise, why would I ask you!” Tang Yunle rolled her eyes at him, but her tone softened. “Good brother, can you just stop playing dumb with me?”
“Alright then,” Qin Liang took a deep breath and slowly spoke. “Actually, my family… is the Qin family.”
Tang Yunle was stunned.
“The Qin family?”
“Which Qin family?”
“There are as many people with the surname Qin in the Huayuan Federation as there are hairs on an ox. Not to mention a four-person Qin family, even five- or ten-person Qin families are everywhere. There’s nothing special—”
“It’s the Qin family in history.” Seeing the girl’s bewildered look, Qin Liang added softly, “The Qin family that was mentioned in the chapter about the establishment of the Huayuan Federation.”
“The Qin family in history…”
“The Qin family that was mentioned when the Huayuan Federation was established…”
In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Tang Yunle, and the fog in her mind instantly dissipated!
The next second, her eyes widened, and her voice was about to break through the cabin. “You’re from that Qin family?!!!”
The young man nodded calmly.
“Hiss! Your family has such a great background! No wonder you’re so rich. So you’re one of the original shareholders of the Huayuan Federation!!!”
“Holy cow, my good brother is actually a Celestial Dragon!”
“I’m actually roommates with a Celestial Dragon in the same dorm! And you, a Celestial Dragon, are actually morally online, with excellent character, and you don’t bully men or…”
Seeing the girl’s jaw drop in shock, her words becoming more and more outrageous, Qin Liang supported his forehead with one hand, a few dark lines appearing on his forehead.
As expected, he shouldn’t have told her.
He should have just followed his mother’s repeated instructions since he was a child:
First, be serious about your feelings and be a pure love party member.
Second, our family is just a little rich, just an ordinary family of four. Don’t brag outside.
Third, don’t show off outside, abide by the law, and don’t do bad things.
Seeing that Tang Yunle was getting more and more off-topic, Qin Liang quickly raised his hand to stop her. “Stop! Stop! My family is just rich. We’re not some all-powerful political valve!”
Tang Yunle immediately obediently closed her mouth and even made a zipping motion at her lips with her hand.
Quack!
My good brother is actually a “Celestial Dragon”!
Then if she’s his “female pet,” doesn’t that make her half a Celestial Dragon? She’s made a class leap in an instant!
Win!
It’s like skipping twenty years—no, eighty years of detours!
Qin Liang had no idea how much his good brother longed for money, wealth, and a class leap. In his eyes, Tang Yunle was just a little greedy.
Seeing that the girl had finally quieted down, and the cabin had returned to calm, he spread his hands and explained, “My family is really not as powerful as you think. The current Huayuan Federation doesn’t belong to my family, nor to any other family, interest group, or political party. It belongs to all the citizens of the federation.”
“Besides, my family is just rich, we don’t have much power.”
“There are several other families like mine in the federation, such as the Xu family, the Chen family, and the Li family, and they’re all on the decline. For example, I heard from my older brother in the original world that the only son of the Xu family had surgery to become a daughter and even got married. It’s not even certain if the Xu family will have another generation.”
After this explanation, the childish admiration in Tang Yunle’s eyes did indeed fade a lot. But she still moved to sit beside Qin Liang and pestered him to tell her about the Qin family.
“Ah Liang, how big is your house? Is it one of those super-large villas in the city center?”
“Not really. My mom said the city center is too polluted and she likes the peace of nature, so my house is a self-built small manor.”
“Then do you have many maids?”
“Uh… there are maids, but there are also male servants. They’re all under the management of Butler Li. There are about a hundred of them.”
“Hiss! Good brother, I feel like there’s a tragic barrier between us now,” Tang Yunle’s face fell. “Will your parents and your brother look down on me, a country bumpkin?”
After saying this, the girl lowered her head, pursed her lips, and gently clutched the corner of Qin Liang’s clothes, just like a little cat that was afraid of being disliked by its master’s family.
“They won’t. My family is actually very warm and hospitable.”
Qin Liang raised his hand and gently patted her head, with a hint of teasing. “Just think of me as an ordinary family of four. Of course, if you come, my family will be a family of five.”
“After all, we’re not only fellow countrymen from the same world, but you’re also my good brother. In a sense, you’re also my family.”
Feeling the warmth of the large hand on her head, although she knew that the young man’s words were more for comfort, Tang Yunle’s heart felt sweet.
“Thank you for seeing me as your family.”
Half an hour later, Tang Yunle was back at the porthole.
The plane was circling and decelerating. Taking this opportunity, she got a clear view of the large buildings under the clouds and immediately exclaimed:
“Holy cow! This is the small manor you were talking about? Are you sure you’re not just being humble?!”
Hearing this, Qin Liang also turned to look at the window and looked inside.
The clouds gradually dispersed, and the scene below became clearer.
This wasn’t a “small manor” at all. It was clearly a huge complex of buildings set in a green field.
