Chapter 133: Chapter 130: Transfer Schools?

Northeast Whole Hog Restaurant.

Li Si never would have imagined that the elegant and poised Mrs. Leng would choose this place.

The table was laden with steaming-hot Northeast stew and hog-slaughter dishes. One after another, dishes like braised pork with vermicelli, three treasures stir-fry, sweet and sour pork, and Northeast-style cold noodles were served.

Mrs. Leng glanced at everyone. "I’ve always heard that Northeasterners are bold and generous. Just look at these plates—they prove it!"

At a glance, the platters were oversized, nearly a foot wide. Li Si felt dizzy just looking at them; how many bites could they even eat? Also, having hog-slaughter dishes with red wine—was this a blend of the rustic and the refined?

"Right! Here, Sister Leng, this is what I should call you, right? Let’s have a toast—after all, this is a fateful connection. From now on, we’re practically family."

Mrs. Leng chuckled and raised her glass. "You’re right! If our old family patriarch knew about this, he’d definitely be thrilled. Let’s raise our glasses—to our miraculous connection!"

Everyone joined in with the toast, then sat down. After some casual chatter, Yan Xuefeng suddenly asked, "Li Si, what year are you in?"

"Third year in university!" Li Si resisted chugging the red wine in her glass, her face turning a little red. She answered casually to his question.

On the way here, Tian Yaruo had whispered her thoughts to Yan Xuefeng about arranging for Li Si to transfer to Beijing for school.

Yan Xuefeng pondered for a moment. "Li Si, what do you think about transferring schools to Beijing? It would make it easier for us to look after you!"

"What? Transferring universities?" Li Si stared at him in shock. She’d heard of transferring between elementary, middle, and high schools, but transferring universities? What was that about?

"Kid, special circumstances call for special arrangements—it’s no big deal!" Tian Yaruo spoke with a subtle sense of superiority. "Your Uncle Yan has connections who can make this happen!"

Li Si shook her head. "No need! Next semester is my final year, and I’ll be doing internships anyway. Transferring at this point doesn’t seem necessary at all!"

"No need to be polite with me! Really, it’s nothing—just a matter of asking someone for a favor. Coincidentally, I have a relative who’s a dean at a good university, so we can make it happen!" Yan Xuefeng wasn’t fazed by Li Si’s rejection. Whether she transferred or not was up to her, but the persuasive offer had to be made.

Mrs. Leng, listening from the side, put down her wine glass. "Li Si, Auntie thinks you should transfer. Don’t answer yet—just hear me out! See, the university you’re in right now doesn’t offer many opportunities after graduation. You’re an English major, right? Why not take this chance to transfer to a better university? It sounds much more impressive when you talk about your alma mater later!"

Li Si was flustered. This conversation completely overturned her worldview. How to describe it? Privilege—that’s it, classic privilege! Imagine an ordinary, unnoticed figure in her third year of university, suddenly blindsided by privilege.

"Can I think about it? After all, this isn’t a small matter!" Li Si gave a bitter smile. Could it be that she was somehow fated to be entangled with Beijing?

"That’s fine! Li Si is a thoughtful child. Once you’ve made up your mind, just let me know. At that point, we’ll have someone take care of it! Your university has less than a month before winter break, right? It’s best to decide in the next few days while it’s still convenient to handle the paperwork."

Yan Xuefeng was mentally weighing whom he’d need to approach to make this happen. If not for her saving his son and her wife’s persistent requests, handling this matter would be challenging indeed—burning a considerable amount of social capital. Yet, he didn’t reveal any of those thoughts at the moment.

Mrs. Leng smiled knowingly. She suspected Li Si would want to consult her son about this matter first. It seemed like Li Si understood the importance of following a man’s advice.

Li Si had no insight into the thoughts of the people around her. Her mind was a chaotic jumble, vacillating between concerns about adjusting to new classmates if she transferred and the consequences of staying put. She let out a sigh—perhaps she should hear Leng Mochen’s opinion.

On Leng Mochen’s birthday, a cascade of events overwhelmed Li Si, leaving her devoid of the initial excitement. Her thoughts were a tangled mess as she awaited his return.

Following Mrs. Leng’s wishes, since Mochen loved Western cuisine, they decided on a Western-themed birthday meal. A private Western restaurant had been decorated for the occasion, the tables adorned with elegant dishes crafted by top chefs. At the center stood a massive, three-tier cream cake.

When Leng Mochen entered the hall, his eyes immediately locked onto Li Si, who was sitting upright in the dining chair with a worried expression, while Mrs. Leng sat across from her, coaxing her about something.

"Mochen’s here? Are you tired from today?" Mrs. Leng’s eyes lit up when she saw her son arrive, standing to greet him.

"Hmm? Where did you all go today?" Leng Mochen asked politely, though his gaze remained fixed on Li Si. Had something happened that he wasn’t aware of?

"The shopping mall! I bought Li Si a piece of clothing, and you won’t believe it—we bumped into the family she donated bone marrow to! Turns out, after chatting, we realized we know each other—Yan’s house’s son and daughter-in-law!" Mrs. Leng spoke excitedly, oblivious to the darkening expression on Leng Mochen’s face.

"What were they here for?" In an instant, his presence cooled, and his words turned frosty.

Mrs. Leng retracted her smile, her face uneasy. "Nothing much—they just wanted to recognize Li Si as their goddaughter, and everyone agreed to it!" She glanced at Li Si after speaking.

Li Si rolled her eyes internally. Whatever, let her say what she wanted to say. "Yes, and they also asked if I wanted to transfer to Beijing for school. Brother, what do you think? Should I transfer?"

Leng Mochen sat next to her, his hand instinctively reaching to stroke her hair but pausing due to Mrs. Leng’s presence. "Do you want to go?"

Mrs. Leng watched the two with great anticipation. Since parting ways with the Yan family couple, she’d said a lot to Li Si but had no idea how much the young girl had taken in.

Li Si gave a bitter smile. "Honestly, I’m not sure. I’m so conflicted!" The mountain of brain cells sacrificed today was immense.

"Then don’t think about it for now! Maybe after a good night’s sleep, you’ll know the answer. Anyway, it’s my birthday—aren’t you going to celebrate with me?" Leng Mochen deftly steered the topic elsewhere.

Li Si immediately followed his lead. "How could I not? We’ve already prepared everything, haven’t we, Auntie?" The birthday decorations in the restaurant had taken both of them considerable time to set up.

"Yes, we’re just waiting for the birthday star to arrive! Let’s not talk about that matter now—let’s get started!" Mrs. Leng walked to the table and picked up a beautifully packaged gift. "Here, Mochen, happy birthday!"

Mochen scanned the table setup, the dishes, and the decorations before curling his lips into a faint smile. "Thank you!"

Li Si pulled out a small box like a magician and handed it over. "Here, happy birthday!"

He accepted it, one gift in each hand. "When can I open them?"

"Right now! Sit down!" Li Si eagerly anticipated his reaction, her eyes practically sparkling as she stared at him.

"Mochen, see if you like it?" Mrs. Leng gazed lovingly at her son in his black suit, unable to look away. Ever since he woke from his vegetative state, his demeanor had become cold and distant. But now, it seemed only around this spunky girl, Li Si, that he revealed a glimpse of his true self.

Leng Mochen first unwrapped Li Si’s gift. Upon opening the box, a flicker of delight crossed his eyes. Li Si watched his expression with bated breath, and when she saw him smile, her heart blossomed with joy. It seemed she had chosen well!

Mrs. Leng had gifted him a bracelet of vibrant green gemstones. (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is the greatest motivation for the author. Mobile users should visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
