If You Are A Dodder Flower Chapter 50 Part1

When the national exam results came out, Cao Yang was the first to know. He waited for it all this time.

When he saw the marks he smiled and gave Xia Rou a call.

"Did you see your score already?"

"Ah? Is it out already? I thought it was tomorrow!"

"…" Cao Yang was speechless. "Where are you?"

"At the apartment."

"…What are you doing?"

"I'm doing the flooring. I'm changing it to wood," she answered.

"By yourself?" Translated by The Novelst

"No, Xiao Yang brother is helping."

Although Xiao Yang wasn't very educated, his ability to work was pretty good. So hearing that Xiao Yang was the one accompanying Xia Rou, Cao Yang was rest a.s.sured.

Xia Rou then finally remembered to ask: "So how is it? How did I do?"

"I thought you didn't really care about it? Check it tomorrow, then," he responded sarcastically.

Xia Rou: "……"

After teasing her a little, he told her the score. "You did pretty good, much better than you were estimating…"

He heard her shout from the other end of the phone: "Oh yeah!" as she ran off to Xiao Yang to flaunt her score.

Cao Yang was still holding the phone. "…"

He tried to suppress the veins bulging on his forehead, called "h.e.l.lo?" a few times, finally managing to catch her attention. "Tonight I'm busy so I will be returning late. Tomorrow we can talk about your major."

Xia Rou happily promised him.

After he hung up, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Silly little girl.

She looked at the list of universities that Cao Yang had selected, her face not moving.

In the past, he didn't agree to allow her to study overseas and insisted she study in local universities, saying he was worried about her staying away from home.

At that time it was the first time she was taking the national exam and she had been very introverted, and also afraid of going "overseas." That alongside Cao Yang's usual domineering att.i.tude drove her to choose a local university.

Of course, in this life, he had chosen much stronger schools compared to her past. But… just as she expected, all the universities were in the capital.

He was still thinking that if Xia Rou dared to argue with him and insisted on studying in a foreign university, he would lecture her.

She couldn't think that just because she was eighteen it meant that she could spread her wings as she pleased and simply run around the world!

She was a pretty girl, and her character was soft and easy to talk to. He really couldn't put down his heart if he didn't keep her close. He would always worry that she was being taken advantage of, bullied, or that she would meet someone bad.

That wouldn't do.

But Xia Rou didn't argue with him.

She only asked him whether Hua Zhong or Sheng Cheng University should be her first choice before obediently agreeing, "Then I guess it's done?"

Her somber eyes stared at him, blinking once, then twice.

Cao Yang didn't know what to say. Originally, he had stockpiled his momentum and had been fully prepared to give this silly little bird a lesson, but it resulted in a strong fist hitting cotton – ineffective.

Xia Rou didn't know why big brother was suddenly quiet.

Her heart was heavy with guilt, so she acted innocent, blinking her eyes at him.

After a few seconds of that, just blinking at each other…

Cao Yang finally returned to the topic at hand: "When are you going to school to turn in the form?"

In the last few years, the national exam had undergone some changes. Xia Rou was in the last batch of graduates that had to turn in the form by hand. When Xia Rou entered college, the students then would be submitting the form online, instead.

"Friday at the latest," she responded. "I'll go and fill out the form like we agreed?"

"Alright, you can go," her big brother said softly.

His voice was very gentle.

Xiao Rou was really a good girl!

So soft and obedient, and she didn't really lose her temper.

As her big brother, he felt that no matter how much he spoiled her it would never be enough!

A soft-tempered girl like her – how could he leave her to stay alone outside the city? He'd be worrying himself to death on the daily. He needed to keep her near so he could keep an eye on her.

Haiz, Xiao Rou… Translated by The Novelst

She was really… a good girl.

As a parent, to be able to raise such a child, it really was a kind of blessing!

Cao Yang was excited in his heart. But soon on that very Friday, the Cao crown prince finally experienced the feeling of being slapped in his own face!

That night, he was on his way to a date with w.a.n.g Man – she had finally been transferred back to the capital, so she took the initiative to call him up and invite him to dinner to celebrate. He couldn't turn her down so he promised her to meet, since it has indeed been some time since they had met.

On the way there, he received a call from teacher w.a.n.g Hao at Nan Hua High School.

"Since we spoke last about Xia Rou's plans I paid extra attention to her form. Why is it so different than what we discussed? They were all foreign universities," he said. "Did you change your mind? Or did Xia Rou…"
