Chapter 288: Chapter 281: What Kind of Music are you Studying?

“My good boy,” Ren Li hugged the rascal and planted a big kiss on his cheek, then returned home to breastfeed him. If not for her nutritious breast milk, how could the little boy grow up so robustly?

With her little brother gone, Tang Yuxin played with her medicinal herbs. Every day, she carried her bamboo basket, climbed into the mountains to gather herbs, and then returned home to play with Little Fatty.

After a few days, Ji Miaomiao and his friends arrived, bringing all their luggage with them, clearly indicating their plan to stay for a while.

And one by one, they watched Little Fatty with such longing eyes, as if they wanted to eat him up.

Little Fatty, long graceful and cute, with a gentle nature and, most importantly, his sweet words. He greeted everyone with a smile, liked to nuzzle his face against theirs, and wasn’t too picky either.

Moreover, being the youngest, he received the most affection.

However, Little Fatty’s favorite was still his sister.

One night, after playing madly, Little Fatty became feverish.

Tang Yuxin held his small palm; Little Fatty looked pitiful, pouting his little mouth, obviously not feeling so good.

“You’ll feel better after some sugar water.”

Tang Yuxin comforted her brother, gently pinching his chubby hand. The whole family would worry if he lost even a bit of weight. It wasn’t easy to achieve such a plump figure.

The sugar water Tang Yuxin mentioned was actually medicinal water. However, she had perfected the process into making the medicine taste like sugar water. As a result, the taste wasn’t too bad, and Chengcheng could accept it as long as it wasn’t bitter.

Ren Li fed him mouthfuls of this ‘sugar water’ using a small spoon.

After finishing, the little fellow became quite drowsy, and within a short while, fell asleep in his mother’s arms. About half an hour later, Ren Li could feel Chengcheng sweating profusely. His normally rosy face returned to its normal color, and his breathing eased. He was now soundly asleep.

Ren Li felt relieved at last. Sometimes she genuinely felt that Tang Yuxin was a little miracle worker. Just a simple cup of sugar water could break a fever. If this continued in the future, what would they need doctors for?

However, Ren Li didn’t know that Tang Yuxin’s ‘sugar water’ was hardly ordinary. It took countless trials for her to perfect it. They were concoctions from old Chen Family recipes, exclusively for treating children’s fever and cold. She had spent a considerable amount of time foraging Qing’an’s herbal shops for ingredients, with a lot of effort in mixing and matching various medicinal flavors, until she finally brewed something that tasted somewhat like sugar water.

Thankfully, Chengcheng was willing to drink it and even seemed to like the taste. Otherwise, they might have ended up spending most of their time in hospitals, possibly having to endure the uncomfortable process of an IV drip.

A few soon-to-be college students, fresh from their graduation exams, were playing madly in Li Tang Village. It was summer, and they spent their days fishing in the river or accompanying Tang Yuxin to collect herbs in the mountains. However, one of them ended up collecting a pile of wildflowers, unaware of their exact purpose, and another filled Tang Yuxin’s bamboo basket with various weeds, driving her crazy with their lack of knowledge.

Chengcheng, on the other hand, played well with his elder brothers and sisters. They showered him with love, letting him climb them like a horse, making funny faces to entertain him. Chengcheng spent his days in extreme bliss, forgetting his own parents and only recognizing his elder brothers and sisters.

Soon, the results of their college entrance exams were released, while they were still estimating their scores and writing down their preferred university choices.

“Yuxin, what university do you want to attend?”

Xu Miaomiao asked Tang Yuxin, evidently very excited, “I calculated my scores, and I am fairly confident I can get into Qing University. That’s why I want to major in education and become a teacher,” she revealed her lifelong dream, unchanged even now.

“Qing University Medical Department,” Tang Yuxin replied without hesitation.

The Qing University Medical Department is the best medical school in the country. In her previous life, she desperately wanted to get into this university, but her scores fell short, and she ended up attending a second-tier medical college instead.

In this life, ever since she returned, she had aimed for the Qing University’s Medical Department. If she couldn’t enter this university, she would rather not go to college at all.

“That’s wonderful; we’ll be at the same university,” Xu Miaomiao hugged Tang Yuxin’s arm, ecstatically rubbing her face against it.

“My health will be in your capable hands in the future. It will be great not to fall ill,” the greatest advantage they gained while following Tang Yuxin over the years was a robust physique. They practiced the Five Animal Frolics with her regularly and drank herbal medicines, which resulted in their amazing health.

“I might also get into Qing University.”

Lin Yile also quietly added.

“Really?” Xu Miaomiao pounced on Lin Yile, hugging her tightly with excitement, “We three will still be together. That’s wonderful.”

“Yes, possibly,” Lin Yile’s voice barely audible.

“Possibly means you’ve just barely met the required scores.”

“Then what do you want to major in?”

Xu Miaomiao asked Lin Yile, “Do you also want to become a teacher like me? Let’s do that together.”

“I don’t want to be a teacher,” Lin Yile looked at Xu Miaomiao, then lowered her gaze.

“I want to study music.”

“What?” Xu Miaomiao loudly exclaimed as she jumped to her feet.

“Lin Yile, you want to study music?”

“Yes, yes. Is that wrong?” Lin Yile was nonplussed. Was studying music that strange?

Tang Yuxin asked Lin Yile, her voice filled with bemusement, much like her expression at the moment.

“You do know how to sing, right?”

Tang Yuxin asked.

Lin Yile shook her head; she did not know how to sing.

“Can you play any musical instrument?”

Lin Yile shook her head again; she didn’t know how to play any musical instrument.

“Then why the heck would you study music?” Xu Miaomiao poked Lin Yile’s forehead, “You have no idea how to do this or that, so why study music?”

“But… it’s my dream,” Lin Yile fiddled with her shirt corner awkwardly.

“Dreams often conflict with reality, but we live in reality.”

Tang Yuxin promptly and unreservedly shattered her dream.

Lin Yile was not suited for that path. Her nature determined her destiny. She was not fit for music.

Lin Yile was on the verge of crying. Why didn’t anyone support her? Even just one person’s support could have made a difference. But everyone was against her. What was she to do?

She went home and told her parents about her decision. In response, her mother fell silent, and her father did the same.
