Chapter 5 The school regulations

Twenty minutes later, the car entered the villa area.

Fu Mingyi's residence was a three-story villa. When Yuhang came here for the first time, she was stunned by the luxury inside.

She couldn't understand why he would live alone in a three-story villa, perhaps this was just being wealthy and whimsical.

As soon as they entered, a shadow rushed down the stairs and straight to Fu Mingyi's trouser leg. The chubby little cat pawed at his pant leg innocently, staring at him with big eyes.

"Meow~"

It looked incredibly innocent.

Fu Mingyi, restraining the urge to kick it away, smiled and looked at Yuhang.

"Sorry about that."

Yuhang quickly picked up the cat and took it back to the second floor.

This was a stray cat she found in Haicheng. She named it Tuantuan.

After she was discharged from the hospital, Fu Mingyi accompanied her back to Haicheng to pay respects to her parents and pack up her things. When they were leaving, this cat fell out of the trash can. It looked like it had been abused, with serious injuries, but a strong will to survive. It clung to her shoe, meowing incessantly.

Perhaps out of a sense of sympathy, she surprisingly asked Fu Mingyi if she could take it with them.

Fu Mingyi agreed.

Later she learned that Fu Mingyi didn't like pets, especially furry ones like this. Fu Mingyi and she had a three-point agreement. This cat was not allowed on the third floor, let alone near him. Any violation of the terms-death sentence.

This threat only scared Yuhang, but the naive little cat still dared to approach Fu Mingyi.

Yuhang put the cat back in its cage on the second floor, giving it food and water. "I'll come see you later."

The kitten licked her fingers. "Meow~"

Fu Mingyi was quite disgusted with the pants that had been scratched by the cat, so he packed them up and handed them to the housekeeper to be cleaned.

When Yuhang came down, the man had changed into his home clothes and was sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

The dishes were plentiful, but Yuhang had little appetite.

The nurse had advised her to drink plenty of water to flush out the contrast agent from her body to avoid affecting her kidneys.

She ate a little, but spent most of the time drinking water. The person in front of her came and went, repeatedly, but Fu Mingyi suggested, "Why don't you sit outside the bathroom door with the water bottle?"

"..."

That made sense.

So when Fu Mingyi went upstairs, he saw the girl sitting on a small stool by the bathroom door, painfully holding a 2200-milliliter water bottle, sighing and drinking until there was no joy left in life.

Fu Mingyi chuckled. Realistic and sincere.

...

At ten forty in the evening.

Yuhang finally got some relief. She immediately went upstairs and knocked on the door of the master bedroom.

No one responded.

So she turned to knock on the door of the study, and the man inside said, "Come in."

"I'll send you the revised comments on WeChat later, that's it for today."

He said to the person on the other side of the computer, closed the notebook, and smiled at her. "Is the water finished?"

"Yeah."

When he was working, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and buttoned up his white shirt meticulously, showing a restrained aura. But in Yuhang's mind, another term came up: a refined hypocrite.

He sat with his hands clasped on the table, and Yuhang had a feeling of facing the headmaster.

She looked like she had something to say, and Fu Mingyi didn't urge her, just smiled and waited for her to speak. Yuhang nervously grasped the seam of her pants, her throat dry. "I... I saw the handbook today and wanted to know how much the headmaster asked you for?"

It was a bit quiet in the room.

Fu Mingyi didn't expect Yuhang to understand these twists and turns. He took off his glasses, leaned back, and smiled. "Nothing, who told you that?"

"Uh..."

Yuhang thought it must be as she had imagined, but seeing Fu Mingyi's confident look, she became a bit uncertain.

She repeated what Xie Yan had said to her, and Fu Mingyi laughed. "He himself takes some roundabout ways, and thinks everyone in the world is like him."

Yuhang still didn't believe it.

Fu Mingyi sighed. "Have you ever seen anyone being punished for just throwing a cup of water?"

Ultimately, this matter could be blamed on Xie Yan. If he had helped Yuhang back then, this incident would have been classified as a minor conflict among classmates, rather than a physical altercation.

"What... what did the headmaster say to you after I left?"

"Your headmaster told me that he has high expectations for you. The college entrance examination in Jingzhou is simpler than in Haicheng. He hopes you can achieve a good ranking in next year's college entrance examination. After all, One High School has been competing with the neighboring Experimental High School for a long time. This year, One High School was outperformed by the Experimental High School, so the teachers at One High School are under pressure."

He said it vividly and precisely. Yuhang now believed him, relieved, but then became nervous again. "According to the school regulations, if you lose seven points each month, you won't be able to stay in the dormitory for the whole semester..."

"..."

Fu Mingyi didn't know about this.

Yesterday, when he accompanied Yuhang to enroll, there were vacancies in three dormitories. He carefully selected one of them for her, and even had her luggage sent in. Today, she told him she couldn't stay in the dormitory?

Yuhang apologized, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Fu Mingyi attributed all these accounts to his beloved nephew.

It's just that his place was far from Yuhang's school, so it seemed he would have to rent a house near the school.

Just then, Yuhang didn't leave.

It was a great pain to live as a guest, and an even greater pain to ask for favors while living as a guest.

Yuhang almost wore a mask of pain, "Um, the school rules say that girls can't have long hair. These past two days at school, I found that the girls either have short hair or tie their hair in a ponytail..."

Fu Mingyi understood what she meant.

Her hair now looked very good, but Fu Mingyi knew it was a wig.

Yuhang, shaking her head anxiously, said, "There's nothing else in the school rules, it's just that the teacher said there will be a school opening ceremony next Monday, and in the afternoon, the parents of the seniors will attend a lecture together with the students..."

Every Monday, Fu Mingyi was the busiest. He taught undergraduate classes in the morning, graduate classes in the afternoon, and held group meetings for his doctoral students in the evening.

Fu Mingyi hesitated, "I just happen to have time that day."

Yuhang saw his hesitation and immediately said, "It's okay if you don't go, I'll just let our class teacher know."

Everyone has had a student life. When Fu Mingyi was in school, his parents were busy and couldn't attend parent-teacher meetings. At that time, he envied classmates whose parents could come.

Fu Mingyi said, "I happen to have time that day."

Huh? Yuhang thought that someone as busy as him must not have time to spare.

Having someone accompany her to listen to the lecture was naturally a good thing.

Yuhang thanked him for the nth time, "Thank you!"

She seemed almost ready to bow to him.

"No need to be polite," Fu Mingyi, feeling sleepy after all her fussing, got up and prepared to go back to his room. "Go rest now. We'll go look at houses tomorrow morning at eight."

As he got up, Yuhang noticed something amusing-this man was wearing a serious white shirt on the upper half, but pajama pants on the lower half!

She turned away, stifling a smile.

So, even he had a side that was close to being just an ordinary person.
