Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 456 Heartless in a CEO Novel (36)

living room,

Xia Youmi had anticipated that Yu Li would come knocking on her door.

It was summer vacation for him, a period of rising academic standing where he could easily get younger students to help his advisor. Considering his years of hard work, the advisor wouldn't refuse to let him go.

Xia Youmi never hides her travels. Although she doesn't have many relatives or friends in this world, her parents still keep asking about her life's turning points, such as business trips, further education, and travel.

They are given plenty of personal space in daily life, but their safety is never a concern.

Perhaps sensing that something was amiss, before leaving this time, Ms. Xia Xiaohuai subtly inquired about the situation, asking why Yu Li wasn't with her and whether she had other intentions.

Xia Youmi could only say that the other party had some things to do and hadn't finalized their itinerary yet, so she would set off early to enjoy her trip.

The matter wasn't set in stone; whether Yu Li came or not, it could be resolved, but the way he arrived was unexpected.

"Am I... that obvious...?" Yu Li said helplessly.

Xia Youmi looked him up and down. He was dressed casually in a white shirt and baggy shorts, an outfit that didn't seem like Dr. Yu's style at all. Coupled with his pale, blood-loss-looking face, something seemed wrong.

“Yes, it’s obvious.” Xia Youmi and Niannian both nodded.

Nian Nian even sensed that his scent indicated he had been hospitalized, a scent completely different from the smell he had when making house calls.

"It's nothing." Holding a glass of warm water, Yu Li smiled. He thought he could ease the tension first before telling Youmi about it. But he didn't expect her first reaction upon meeting him to be that he had undergone surgery.

Xia Youmi brought over juice, then held Niannian on the sofa, waiting for Yu Li, whose face was filled with the thought, "I need to talk to you," to tell her what he wanted to say.

“Yes, this is a serious decision,” Yu Li confessed. “I’ve had a vasectomy.”

"Hmm?" Xia Youmi was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Yu Li to be so decisive. Or rather, she had consciously and self-analyzed to this extent.

Nian Nian was also somewhat shocked.

Yu Li confided a lot about his inner journey to it, and it was clear that he had a traditional streak deep down. And tradition often clashes with genuine beliefs that truly want what's best for Youmi.

As you gradually come to realize that his change in loving someone is not a sacrifice.

In fact, he was also shaping a better version of himself, which was a clear choice he made.

Yu Li realized that the traditional path of a small family was not viable, but he had an opportunity; his accumulated experience over the past decade had left him room for maneuver. At least, You Mi should not be opposed to living a daily life with him.

Then we shouldn't wait too long, lest they wear down their passion for each other.

At last,

No amount of time spent as childhood sweethearts could win back a person's heart.

Upon learning that Xia Youmi had set aside three months for vacation, Yu Li quickly followed suit, arranging the vacation, surgery, and Xia Youmi's next flight to her destination.

However, less than a week later, it was discovered that the other party had no intention of leaving the island and canceled the trip, which would last for nearly a month.

They are worried about unexpected events or changes.

Yu Li arrived at the island before he had fully recovered. He looked somewhat haggard in the rush, although he quickly washed up after landing at the airport.

"How many days has it been since your surgery?" Xia Youmi asked curiously.

"Three days."

"In that case, you should also avoid lifting heavy objects or strenuous exercise. It will heal in a week, fully recover in two weeks, and be a month post-surgery..." Xia Youmi almost slipped into doctor mode and started analyzing the post-operative recovery for him.

"Yes, it also depends on individual physical condition. My physical condition has been pretty good these past two years, and I have a habit of exercising." Yu Li nodded in agreement, not missing the rare moment of leisurely banter.

"That's great! How long of vacation did you plan?"

“It’s also three months.” Yu Li looked up at the other person, afraid of seeing resistance in Xia Youmi’s eyes.

"Then you can stay on the first floor to avoid climbing stairs." Xia Youmi pointed to the empty guest room, then got up and took Niannian upstairs to start her routine afternoon nap.

Yu Li watched her retreating figure, a faint smile appearing on her face.

He quickly packed his luggage and room, then called the housekeeper to inquire about the daily arrangements. He also sent a video and location to Xia Youmi's mother, Ms. Xia Xiaohuai, telling her not to worry about Youmi, that the two had met up, and that he would take good care of her.

Throughout the process, he moved very carefully and easily. When he came down to drink water and relieve himself, Yu Li even hugged him and combed his fur.

It wasn't that I was living a sloppy life all by myself; it was just that I went into the water every day, and when I got out, I would just wipe myself down haphazardly without thinking about any meticulous maintenance.

It's all about convenience and speed.

But with Yu Li's arrival and the arrival of a little housekeeper, life was definitely different. He cooked dinner, and his skills, it must be said, had not only not become rusty but had even improved.

After dinner,

We strolled on the beach, without discussing our troubles or emotional entanglements.

They only paid attention to their surroundings, admiring the beautiful sunset, and talking about the fun of catching a plane.

Xia Youmi looked towards the sea, the answer written between the orange and red hues. Her heart was calm, free from questioning, worries, and endless exhaustion. It was no different from her usual walks every year, except for the addition of a reflection.

Yu Li didn't think so. His heart was pounding. He looked at the person who seemed to be slightly visible only because of the golden light. He felt that he was lucky to be able to hold on to him again and that he shouldn't make the same mistake again.

Some of the barriers that have been broken cannot be overcome simply by getting a vasectomy. This is not a kidnapping, but merely a signal that it is the beginning.

I hope to give him the courage to get closer again and the ability to do everything in his power to win him back.

"Youmi..." Yu Li murmured as he approached, gently embracing the little one, and moving closer to Niannian's side. Clearly, taking care of the little one had become a habit, yet he hadn't realized it before.

As dusk settled, the three shadows overlapped and gradually melted into the night.

"Let's go back, it wouldn't be good to catch another cold."

"Wang-"

"I understand." Yu Li sniffed, her nose was a little wet, she couldn't tell if it was because she had caught a cold from the cold wind, or because countless tears that were about to well up had been suppressed and escaped from all parts of her body.

There was a dampness in my palms and a stinging sensation in the corners of my eyes.

There are more,

It just so happened to appear in his nose and throat, making his voice sound somewhat unreal.

He was slow-witted and self-taught, which made him all the more endearing.

Xia Youmi was both amused and exasperated. She could only grant Yu Li permission to have iced drinks, arrange for a few thick blankets, and anything more would be up to Dr. Yu to take care of himself.

After a peaceful week, Yu Li felt she had recovered enough to go swimming.

Occasionally, I would accompany Xia Youmi and Niannian to take photos.

but,

The problem only became apparent then.

During his surgery and while waiting for full recovery, he encountered sunshine, beaches, swimsuits, and beautiful scenery.

Being able to only watch is also a kind of torture.

Xia Youmi and Niannian were in excellent condition, at the peak of their youth, radiating a unique and captivating charm. This coincided with the island's most beautiful season, the best scenery, and their most cherished companions.

Yu Li's camera just wouldn't stop clicking.

He diligently took beautiful photos of them and even recorded videos, but his main contribution was purely spiritual.

But fortunately,

Compared to not being able to get close to her, this little trouble was nothing. He secretly thought that he could go back and appreciate it slowly later, and it was more important to feel the warm sunshine together in the present moment.

The group photo mostly features Xia Youmi and Niannian.

In very few cases, Yu Li asked passersby for help, and immediately transferred the photos to her phone after filming, fearing damage to the memory card or other issues.

I picked out the best ones to send to my family, and seeing their smiles return put my mind at ease.

Sister Yu Fen also told Ms. Xia privately, "Look at him, he doesn't seem to have any problems at all. My husband is set on Youmi for life, he won't let go, not even if you beg and plead. If he makes a mistake and upsets Youmi, you don't even need to wait for your family to intervene, I guarantee I'll beat him until he's as good as a pig and wake him up."

Ms. Xia smiled. She only cared about her daughter's thoughts. If she really wanted to break up with her, the Yu family wouldn't have a chance to admit their mistake.

Yu Fen also sighed.

She was the only one in the family who knew that her younger brother had been sterilized. Although she couldn't quite understand it, she told him to let it be his own business as a young man.

Youmi has been opinionated since childhood and will follow her own ideas.

My younger brother has always wanted to have rice, but he seems to lack his own opinions and there seems to be underlying contradictions in him.

Actually,

He thoroughly enjoyed it, and he was more than happy to have Mi (a company name) let him follow his lead. This, in a way, is another kind of life, and there's nothing wrong with it.

If I'm not worried about these two's problem-solving abilities, then I'm also used to taking on heavy responsibilities, so I'll just accept the arrangements made by the family heir! She'll inherit the family business, and she'll be the heir in her next life.

There's nothing wrong with it if you're willing to do it.

Everyone has their own comfortable way of doing things; society is a collection, not a standard answer.
