Being Able to Quietly Watch You Is Already a Very Beautiful Thing

Chen Yanxi remained composed.

She patted her clothes, dusting off the shoe prints.

Then, looking at the woman on the bed, she gently adjusted her large-framed glasses and said:

"You didn't go back to Grandma's this time."

Without giving the woman on the bed a chance to speak, Chen Yanxi continued, "Is it because Grandma and the others also dislike you and don't want you to come?"

"What are you talking about!?" the woman's anger flared.

"Grandma and the others don't want you to go because they're afraid," Chen Yanxi looked at her. "They're afraid that if you go back this time, my dad won't coax you like he used to, and they're afraid he'll divorce you."

"At your age, once you're divorced, you'll never remarry. By then, lazy, with no earning potential and only knowing how to play mahjong, you'll be a complete burden."

As the woman's face turned redder, Chen Yanxi calmly reached her conclusion:

"Grandpa and Grandma don't want to support a burden like you, so they didn't let you go back. That's why you can only occupy my room and throw your weight around in front of me, taking out all the anger you received from Grandpa, Grandma, and Father on me, is that it?"

"You, you, you..."

The woman on the bed trembled with rage, her entire face flushed. She pointed at Chen Yanxi, her voice sharp and hysterical, "Chen Yanxi! I raised you all these years just for you to talk back to me like this? Huh!? You ungrateful wretch, have you no conscience!!"

"No one in the Chen family is any good!!!!"

She frantically searched for anything she could use as a weapon in her hands and threw it all at Chen Yanxi.

Pillows, blankets, slippers, even books from the table.

She had never been so angry before.

Chen Yanxi's heart-piercing words were like countless knives, stabbing fiercely into her heart.

She couldn't believe that Chen Yanxi, who had always taken blows and insults without fighting back, would actually dare to mock her.

She felt her dignity as a mother had been greatly challenged!

Chen Yanxi cast a pitying glance at her, turned, and left, closing the door.

All her attacks landed on the door.

This made her even angrier, and her sharp scolding filled the entire house.

Utterly unpleasant.

Chen Yanxi ignored her. After entering the living room, she turned to her father and said, "I'm going to cram school."

Her father, who had been smoking silently the entire time, heard Chen Yanxi's voice and grunted.

Chen Yanxi paused, then continued, "I'm not coming back tonight. I'm going to sleep over at a classmate's house."

"Alright, be careful. Call me when you get to school the day after tomorrow."

"Okay."

After responding, Chen Yanxi walked towards the door.

Just as she was about to step out, she heard her father's weary voice:

"Your mom's going through menopause, don't take it to heart. Study hard at school, tell me if you need anything, don't let it affect your grades."

After a two-second silence, Chen Yanxi said, "Okay, I understand."

With that, she turned and left.

Stepping outside, a gentle breeze blew. The May wind hit her face, carrying a hint of warmth.

"Little Yanxi, why are you out again?" Grandpa Liu, the security guard, asked with some surprise.

"I'm going to cram school, Grandpa, I told you about it," Chen Yanxi replied with a smile.

Grandpa Liu raised an eyebrow. "You seem quite happy."

"I did something I always wanted to do but never had the courage to."

Chen Yanxi shook her head. "I'll be going now, Grandpa, bye-bye."

"Alright, be safe, okay?"

"Okay."

She responded, turned, slung her bag over her shoulder, and slowly walked away into the distance.

As Chen Yanxi left her home, Wang Ge knocked on Gu Panyan's door.

"Panyan, are you home?"

"Not here."

Wang Ge's face darkened. "Panyan, stop messing around, open the door for me."

"Wait a moment, don't bother me."

Wang Ge waited patiently for a while.

It wasn't that he was afraid of getting hit, he was mainly... well, he loved his girlfriend.

Even though they hadn't officially gotten together yet, it was only a matter of time.

"Are you crazy? Why are you at my place instead of going home?"

A few minutes later, Gu Panyan cursed at him as she opened the door.

Back home, she had already changed out of her long-sleeved shirt into a cool, black crop top, paired with denim shorts that revealed a pair of fair, long, and shapely legs – hot, sexy, and stunning.

Wang Ge first admired her outfit for a few moments before saying, "Of course, I'm here to tutor you!"

"Tch."

Gu Panyan scoffed, too lazy to call him out. She turned and walked into the room.

Wang Ge followed her with a smile, casually closing the door behind him.

"Your place is so big..."

Wang Ge looked around, marveling.

"My dad left it to me."

Gu Panyan sat down at the table in the living room, continuing what she had been doing before Wang Ge arrived.

-- Doing practice problems.

Her grades had improved so quickly not only because of Wang Ge's cheat-like assistance but also because she herself was diligent and hardworking.

Wang Ge sat down next to her, resting his chin on his hand as he watched her do problems.

"Why are you staring at me? Can't you find something else to do?" Gu Panyan glanced at him.

Wang Ge said earnestly, "Just being able to watch you quietly is already a very, very wonderful thing."

"Is that so?"

Gu Panyan smirked, "I was originally going to keep my promise from last time and let you touch my legs, but since you're satisfied just by looking..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong! I'm guilty, I repent!"

Before she could finish, Wang Ge apologized loudly. The speed and sincerity of his apology made the curve of Gu Panyan's lips deepen.

She didn't say anything, continuing to focus on her work.

But Wang Ge couldn't sit still. If he could have meat, why would he settle for just soup?

He moved his chair closer, calling out to her softly, "Panyan, my dear Panyan~"

"What?"

Gu Panyan picked at her ear, saying lazily.

"We made a deal last time, you're not going back on your word, are you?"

"Is this the first day you've known me? I've never been someone noble or someone who never breaks their promises."

Gu Panyan twirled her pen, giving him a sideways glance. "Besides, why should I keep my promise to a scumbag who's playing with two girls at once?"

"What are you talking about! My heart only has you, Panyan, there's absolutely no room for anyone else!"

"Meaning, if there were room, there would be someone else, right?"

"My entire heart and soul are focused on you, Panyan, how could there possibly be any room! Not now, and not in the future!"

"Heh, sounds nice."

Gu Panyan let out a dismissive laugh.

"Fine, I'll reluctantly let you pass."

"Passed? Then I..."

Wang Ge was overjoyed. He looked down at her slender, fair, long legs, his expression gradually filling with anticipation.

This time, Gu Panyan didn't disappoint him.

She moved her leg closer to him, saying lazily:

"Go ahead."

"I love you, Panyan, I knew you were the best!"

PS: Someone in the last chapter said Chen Yanxi's mother was a bit dim-witted. I want to explain this.

It's like how bullies in class always pick on the nice kids. If you had a child who was always obedient and never fought back or talked back, and you were dissatisfied with them in some way, coupled with your own not-so-high moral standards, when you got angry about something outside, wouldn't you vent your frustration on your child, maybe even treat them as a punching bag?

This has nothing to do with whether parents love their children or not; it's the darkness of human nature, my friends.

It's about relying on the psychological advantage of being inherently superior, relying on the fact that they can't survive without you.

We always reserve our worst emotions for those closest to us because, subconsciously, we know they won't leave us over trivial matters, right?

It's all the same principle.

I didn't go into much detail in the last chapter because I felt that such parents are quite common in China. I only exaggerated it a little. The reason you might find it dim-witted is perhaps because your own family background is very happy and perfect, and your parents have high moral standards, which is why you think that way.

This was my oversight, and I apologize. I will write more details next time.
