Chapter 176: Settled
Upon hearing Yang Liu’s words, Fei Erya was genuinely surprised, "Why are you leaving all of a sudden? Won’t you be teaching here anymore in the future?"
"Yes, I’m going to follow A Cheng back to his hometown."
Yiyi didn’t say much more, only added, "Teacher, then I wish you a safe journey in advance."
"Alright, but don’t forget to come over for dinner tomorrow. I’ll prepare something special for you."
"Don’t worry, teacher, we’ll all be there."
Seeing Yiyi and Fei Erya both agree, Yang Liu smiled and nodded, then said, "I heard your first choices are universities in Shangjing, so even if I’m not your teacher in the future, we can still meet often."
"Yes, how did I not think of that just now?"
Fei Erya suddenly became happy again; she really liked Yang Liu, the English teacher, and the thought of still being able to meet in the future made her happy.
Yang Liu also liked Yiyi and Fei Erya very much. After chatting with them for a while, she headed back, as there were still some matters at school that needed to be sorted out. She needed to handle everything today to leave without worries.
Yiyi continued to accompany Fei Erya to her home.
"Yo, Fei Erya, you’re finally back."
As soon as Yiyi and Fei Erya entered the door, they heard a somewhat sarcastic voice belonging to Fei Wenya, "Yo, your classmate is here too. Sit down, and I’ll go cut some fruit for you." After saying that, she headed straight to the kitchen.
Seeing Fei Wenya like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but frown.
From Fei Wenya’s first sentence, it was clear she hadn’t changed her attitude towards Erya. Yet, in the end, she forced herself not to continue and instead offered to cut fruit. The atmosphere was oddly off.
"Was your sister always like this?"
Fei Erya was no longer surprised, "Yeah, but my sister has changed a lot. She’s still working on improving, and compared to before, she’s become much better."
Yiyi, however, didn’t feel that Fei Wenya had changed much. The only difference was she learned to be smarter and slightly restrained her dissatisfaction. But Yiyi could still easily see through her.
"Yiyi, go ahead and sit for a bit. I’ll go see if dad is around."
When Fei Wenya came out with the fruit, she only saw Yiyi and snorted coldly, "Why are you here again?"
Seeing Fei Wenya revealing her true colors, Yiyi found it somewhat amusing, "Why don’t you keep pretending?"
"What am I pretending? I’ve always been like this. Our Erya might be a bit simple-minded, but we’re not stupid. You want Fei Erya to stay at your house every day; what are your intentions?"
Hearing this, Yiyi almost burst into laughter.
"What intentions could I have?"
"You definitely have an agenda. Otherwise, why would you keep trying to get Fei Erya to stay at your home? You’re not just offering a place to live but also food. You surely must have some hidden secrets."
Hearing Fei Wenya’s conspiracy theory, Yiyi shot her a cold glance and said, "I think it’s you who must have motives. You’ve always mistreated Erya, but instead of realizing your wrongs, you put on an act to deceive her. You’re the ones with hidden secrets."
"You..."
Fei Wenya didn’t expect Yiyi to be so sharp-tongued and found herself speechless.
At this moment, Fei Erya and Fei Zhangda came over. Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, they couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on with you two?"
"It’s nothing, dad. We were just discussing Erya’s matters."
Hearing this, Fei Zhangda’s expression turned a bit more displeased. He frowned and looked at Yiyi, saying, "Mao, Erya said she wants to stay at your house during the summer break. I think it’s inappropriate. Erya can live at home; there’s no need to move to your place. If you two want to hang out, Erya can simply go to your place in the morning."
"Uncle, we just finished the college entrance exam and want to relax a bit. Besides, I need Erya’s help during this time. It’s more convenient for her to stay at my place. If you miss her, she can come home anytime; it’s convenient."
Fei Zhangda was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.
It was Fei Wenya who chimed in, "Even if you need Erya’s help, she can go to your place in the morning. Why must she stay at your house?"
Yiyi ignored Fei Wenya and directly looked at Fei Zhangda, "Uncle, your leg has recovered now, and you’re not often at home. Whether Erya stays at home doesn’t matter. Besides, she’d feel less comfortable staying at home, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could she feel uncomfortable at home?"
Yiyi raised her eyebrows, looking at Fei Wenya, "I think you should know best."
"You..."
Seeing Yiyi’s knowing expression, Fei Wenya couldn’t control her temper. But remembering her mother’s words, she held it in.
Fei Zhangda pondered her words thoughtfully.
In the end, it was Fei Erya who pleaded, "Dad, I also want to stay over at Yiyi’s, so please agree. I can come home anytime if something comes up."
Seeing his daughter’s expression, Fei Zhangda couldn’t help but nod.
"Dad..."
Fei Wenya quickly opposed, as she had already thought of having Erya help her with her work during the break so she could relax for a while. Now that Erya had finished her exams, she couldn’t reasonably refuse, especially with their mother’s support.
Seeing her sister Fei Wenya’s insistence on keeping her at home, Fei Erya couldn’t help but become suspicious.
Although Fei Wenya’s attitude had improved a lot, traces of her dislike were still evident. Why was she so eager to keep her at home this time? This only made Erya more determined to stay at Yiyi’s place.
"Dad, since you agreed, I’ll go pack my things now."
With that, she went straight back to her room to gather her clothes.
Seeing Erya move so quickly, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile, then took her by the hand and headed out directly.
"Dad, are you really letting Erya go to her classmate’s house? Our home is right here in town; why should she go to a classmate’s house?" Fei Wenya was a bit anxious and couldn’t help but loudly express her disagreement, looking at Fei Zhangda with disapproval.
Seeing his elder daughter’s attitude, Fei Zhangda lost any previous hesitation.
"If Erya wants to stay at her classmate’s place, let her go."
"Dad..."
Seeing that Fei Zhangda wasn’t changing his mind, Fei Wenya’s expression turned even uglier. But with their mother Yan Jie currently out, no one could persuade their father.
At this point, Yiyi and Fei Erya had already walked swiftly, their faces shining with bright smiles as they walked along the road, full of anticipation for the upcoming holiday.
