20 Capital City, Here I Come… (2/2)
He laughed joyously like a child.
On the other hand, Ye Lingchen had already arrived at Longhu Estate currently.
”You're going to Capital City1?”
Ye Lingchen said in astonishment as he massaged Xiao Feifei's silk-like skin and body.
”Hmm.” Xiao Feifei nodded. Her eyes were squinted shut akin to a kitten, a sign that she was enjoying Ye Lingchen's massage treatment.
Next, she turned her head and looked at Ye Lingchen in anticipation. ”I've recently signed onto a martial art television series project. I'm going to return to Capital City for filming.”
”You said before that I will need to receive the massage treatment for half a year before I can recover. Why don't you join me to go to Capital City?”
Ye Lingchen was silent.
Beijing was the capital city of China. It was a thriving and prosperous city with people living extravagant lives. The attraction of the city blinded countless people and made them yearn for its presence.
Even if Xiao Feifei had not mentioned this, Ye Lingchen could definitely apply and get accepted into either Tsinghua University or Peking University with his outstanding results.
”Do you have any plans for summer holidays?” asked Xiao Feifei.
”Nothing at the moment.” Ye Lingchen shook his head.
”Since you don't have any plans, then why don't you follow me for a trip to Beijing. I can be your tour guide.” Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen before she continued to speak seductively, ”moreover, I'm paying your wage too.”
”When are you going to depart?” asked Ye Lingchen.
Xiao Feifei replied, ”we're leaving in the afternoon tomorrow.”
Ye Lingchen nodded. He was not in a rush to commit himself.
On one hand, he had never traveled so far before on his own. He hesitated whether he should stay back and accompanied his parents. On the other hand, he wanted to visit city where its people lived extravagantly before he made the decision if he wanted to attend a university there.
He had a youth's temperament and now was just the right time that he was proud of his achievement. He wanted to experience a different place badly.
”Don't worry, Capital City is my territory. I'll make sure that you won't get bullied over there,” said Xiao Feifei as she assumed the tone of an old senior woman suddenly. She could not refrain herself from sniggering aloud after saying that.
Ye Lingchen pondered for a moment before he brought up the most important issue to him at last. ”How much is the wage?”
Xiao Feifei said, ”...”
Sister Lin, ”...”
Ye Lingchen had a long discussion with his parents after returning to his home. Then, he began packing his luggage in preparation to depart the next day.
”Mother, I plan to enroll in Peking University. After arriving in Capital City, I'll enroll in the university directly when the new semester begins,” said Ye Lingchen.
”Hmm.”
Xu Zhen answered softly. She kept her head down all the time while she helped Ye Lingchen to pack his luggage.
Ye Jin kept his silence as well on the side. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”The weather in Capital City is dry and arid. I heard that now is the driest season of all. You must take good care of yourself.” Xu Zhen briefed her son, ”I'm putting your summer clothes in this section, autumn clothes in the middle section, cashmere sweaters and coats on the other side. Wear them if the weather gets too cold.”
”Mom, it's still too early for me to pack winter clothes now.” Ye Lingchen felt speechless.
”It's hard to predict the weather. You have never traveled so far before. Moreover, you're going away for such a long time. It's better to be prepared than sorry,” said Xu Zhen. She could not help wiping away her tears.
”Your son is traveling to the city. This is promising, don't cry about it,” said Ye Jin from the side.
Xu Zhen helped Ye Lingchen to zip up the luggage then she brought over a package from another side. ”I've placed some food in here. It's our Rugao City's native produce. Have some if you're hungry during the journey. Text mom if you've run out and want more. Mom will send it to you via the post.”
”Also, here's some money for your expenditure. Your dad will be transferring money into your bank account every month from now on. Spend it on what is necessary.”
Xu Zhen suddenly spoke more than usual. It felt as if her words were never-ending. She reminded Ye Lingchen on this and advised him on that without stop.
”Mom, I can make my own money too.”
”The expenditure in Capital City is high. Don't worry, mom and dad have some savings. Don't overthink this.”
Ye Lingchen listened to his mother's words quietly from the side. As he looked at his parents, he made a decision in his mind.
'I must make it to the top and return to the village with high honors!'
”Lingchen, you're sent to work in Capital City because your effort is valued, be sure to put in more effort at work!”
Before Ye Lingchen's departure, Ye Jin finally gave his advice.
Ye Lingchen nodded. Then, he turned his head once again to take a glance of his parents before he turned around and got into the car.
”Son, remember to take good care of yourself. Be sure to call home if you face any difficulties and need help!” Xu Zhen could not refrain herself from taking a few steps forward.
Ye Lingchen replied softly without turning back.
The car drove away slowly. Ye Lingchen could still see the silhouette of his two aging parents through the rearview mirror until they vanished from sight when the distance was too far.
Perhaps it was because they realized that Ye Lingchen was not in a good mood, Sister Lin and Xiao Feifei did not speak to him during the journey.
The car drove for over an hour before arriving at the airport.
They boarded the airplane at three in the afternoon.
Through the window, he watched as the land underneath his feet shrunk smaller and smaller and buildings turning into ants before vanishing from his sight at last…
'Goodbye, Rugao City.'
