Chapter 335: Protect Yourself

"The one who can suppress everyone is a hero; the one who can't is a reckless fool, a joke."

Only those with power or a force that can serve as a guard, and who are just, are true heroes.

Law? If she is just an ordinary bystander, what if she says overtime pay is unreasonable? The company won't care!

Even if she speaks out online, those people will think she's a joke, attention‑seeking, trying to scam traffic.

Every company is on edge, only because they fear that after she reports them, the head office and Su Xi's thunderous tactics will strike—not because they're afraid of her.

"Then why are you studying law?"

"To protect yourself—some methods you can skip, but you can't have none."

Liang Yan seemed deep in thought.

The three each had their own thoughts.

……

Two years later, at the airport, "Wulongcha, Huo Huo, you miss me!"

Su Yu wore a helpless expression, being held by Tang Can like a giant plush doll.

"Can Can, we can video‑call!"

【Going abroad feels like a life‑and‑death separation!】

"That's different!"

Tang Can threw a tantrum, pouting and about to cry.

Su Yu thought that she and Liang Yan were staying in the country while Tang Can went abroad alone to study medicine, and said, "Alright, alright, it's not the same. We'll come find you during holidays, and you come find us, okay?"

"Okay!"

Su Yu, Liang Yan and Tang Can slapped hands to seal the vow!

"Can Can, when you go out, don't skimp, okay? Spend what you need to spend!"

Tang Tang was a bit worried that Tang Can wouldn't get along with her mother. But Tang Can is already grown; her mother suggested sending Tang Can to a top overseas university, also for her own good.

No matter how reluctant Tang Tang was, she couldn't stop it! She was even more worried that Tang Can would harshly treat herself to save money for a startup.

"If anything comes up, be sure to call me."

"Okay! Thank you, Aunt!"

Tang Can clutched her aunt, reluctant to let go.

"Ma'am, your flight is about to depart; please follow me!"

The lounge staff urged Tang Can to board the shuttle.

"Goodbye!"

Tang Can waved at her dearest friend, her beloved aunt, and left without looking back.

Liang Yan watched Tang Can drift away from her world, tears streaming down.

Tang Tang also cried pitifully.

Su Yu pulled out prepared tissues to soothe this and that, while Wulongcha kept causing trouble.

【Host, you look so heartless, not sad at all!】

【It's not like we can't see each other; once she lands, we can video‑call and meet again, right?!】

After finally pacifying everyone, Su Yu had the bodyguard drive Tang Tang to the company.

Su Yu and Liang Yan returned to the Su family manor for daily training.

Su Yu and Liang Yan ran five kilometers around the manor, did three laps of obstacle running, then practiced boxing for a while; both were breathless from exhaustion.

Su Yi strolled over, looking at the sweat‑drenched Su Yu, and said, "Feeling sad? Want me to call your mother back to see you?"

Su Yu rolled her eyes, "If you want to see Mom, call her yourself; stop always using me as an excuse!"

Su Yi snorted, "I don't even know who it is; the older you get, the less clingy to Mom!"

Su Yu doesn't want to cling to her mother, does she? She does! But Mom also needs her own career!

These years, Ji Yan started a business while also learning from Ji Tianlin; she is the heir of Ji Tianlin Company and its vice president, ready to take the general manager role at any time.

As Ji Yan's career grew stronger, she radiated brilliance, her fans multiplying ten‑plus times. Her own creative style shifted from light romance and melancholy to soothing tones and uplifting battle anthems!

"Dad, I suggest you study; your brain is deteriorating!"

【Day after day you pick fights with me, just because you're idle!】

Su Yi strolled away again.

He wasn't idle at all; over the years he attended many banquets on Su Xi's behalf, saving Su Xi some rest time, and he was proud! "Xiao Yu sister, has Can Can arrived yet?"

"Not yet, still over an hour!"

"I miss her so much!"

They have always trained together as three.

"Sigh, I miss her too."

Su Yu sighed, habit really is a very frightening thing.

If she leaves, she'll miss the little companions here.

The waiting time was hard to endure; Su Yu and Liang Yan did a few more test papers, and only then did they make it to Tang Can's landing.

"Can Can, have you found your mother?"

"Found her!"

【Found her, and it's still with both her parents!】

Tang Can's parents both quit their jobs to go to the airport to pick her up. They wanted to build a relationship with Tang Can, making up for years of neglect, and their first‑day actions showed great sincerity! "Alright! Rest well; the jet lag will be a bit tough!"

"Okay!"

Tang Can looked at Su Yu on the other end of the phone, feeling a bit aggrieved, "Wulongcha, do you miss me?"

"We thought, we've been thinking of you, the training misses you, even the test papers miss you!"

Liang Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and he nodded desperately.

Tang Can blinked, tears falling again, "My mother's here, bye!"

"Bye!"

Tang Can's mother cradled her daughter, "Can Can, you're a good child, don't cry. When your break comes, Mom will take you back to see your friends!"

"Wuwu, okay!"

Tang Can's father took the suitcase from his daughter, feeling a moment of regret. Perhaps they should have gone back to nurture a relationship with their daughter, instead of selfishly taking her abroad and separating her from familiar companions.

In the country, Su Yu's arms also held a tearful person.

Liang Yan, buried in Su Yu's arms, wailed loudly, breaking the heart of his father who rushed over! Liang Yan was in low spirits and that night refused to go home with Zhu Xueheng, insisting on sleeping with Su Yu. After a whole night of being a human body pillow, Su Yu's limbs were sore as she crawled out of bed.

【Wulongcha, have you given the Lucky Card?】

【Given. After that I'll be abroad until she finds a suitable mentor; you can rest assured, summon me directly if anything comes up!】

Going back and forth is too troublesome; Wulongcha plans to return only after achieving the effect Su Yu wants.

【Alright, thanks for your effort!】

【No trouble, I'm leaving!】

【Bye!】

Wulongcha left, Su Yu washed up, ate, and returned to her room to study peacefully.

She needs to work harder to shed her student status soon!

When Liang Yan woke up and didn't see Su Yu, he wanted to cry, "Xiao Yu sister!"

"I'm here!" Liang Yan, barefoot, ran to Su Yu's side and hugged her, feeling real.

"Huo Huo, time to wash up and eat! If we finish studying early and graduate early, we can go wherever we want!"

"Okay!"

Liang Yan's fighting spirit was high; at noon he sprawled on the dining table.

"Still not happy? How about letting Uncle Shi send someone to check on you?"

Previously, the medical resources prepared for Su Yi and his group were excessive; to avoid waste, Su Xi applied to open a private hospital, established in Qingshanqu.

Now the hospital's departments are fully equipped. If Liang Yan truly can't get past Tang Can's departure, she can hire a one‑on‑one psychological counselor until she recovers.

"No, you should have Uncle Zhu hire a tutor!"

Liang Yan, weak and breathless, said, "It's too hard, really too hard! Why is it this hard?"

She only wants to attend the same youth class as little sister Xiao Yu!

Why are the questions so malicious! They only know how to make it difficult for her! Why set so many traps? They're not edible!

"It's indeed hard; once we grow taller, we'll go to a regular class together!"

In the youth class, she worries that before early graduation she'll be driven mad by the questions! "Mm‑mm!"

Liang Yan lifted her bowl and ate earnestly! She wants to grow taller! After Su Yu and Liang Yan finished their meals, they hired a tutor to go over the problems with them.

The tutor, after reviewing the problems, first taught them new knowledge.

The days of learning new knowledge continued daily until Su Yu and Liang Yan started school.

"The youth class moves too fast; we can't finish, it's impossible to finish!"

Liang Yan, before even entering the classroom, wanted to give up. She's had such a hard time lately! So hard she wants to quit studying! "I've already studied!"

【Now you say you won't study, isn't that wasting all the effort we've put in!】

After encouraging each other, Su Yu and Liang Yan held hands and entered the classroom.

The people in the classroom were not quite what they imagined.

People like them, wearing plain T‑shirts and work pants, stepping in white sneakers, look even more out of place in this classroom where everyone otherwise dons eccentric outfits.

"Did you go into the wrong class?"

A girl in a beautiful ancient‑style robe snapped her sleeves "pop‑pop" and hurried to Su Yu and Liang Yan, circling them curiously.

Her face looks like she belongs to their class, but her clothes say otherwise!

Su Yu calmly produced her admission notice. Because her study pace is fast and she has skipped grades several times, the university placed her in the youth class; the teacher who delivered the notice said the school made that decision because they felt she would fit the class atmosphere better.

Su Yu now thinks the school's decision must have been made on a whim!

She can't adapt at all!

"It really is!"

The ancient‑clad girl, who seems the same age as Liang Yan, didn't quite understand, "You're so normal; are you here to experience life?"

This place's code name is basically 'Abnormal Concentration Camp'.

"No!"

"If not, then why are you here?"

Su Yu chose a row of seats, put her things away, and took out a workbook, "Graduate early, inherit the family business!"

Liang Yan immediately added, "Graduate early, accumulate experience!"

……

The ancient‑clad girl, with no family business to inherit, felt they weren't on the same path.

Aside from the first ancient‑clad girl, the other classmates quietly wore eccentric outfits, studying the items in their hands.

When the teacher arrived, Su Yu and Liang Yan finally understood why these people dressed that way.

"Wear the clothing of whatever field you like; when the teacher comes, they'll assign lessons based on the outfits."

Su Yu and Liang Yan looked bewildered, but still asked their families to prepare outfits.

Su Yu prepared clothes representing lawyers and financial managers, while Liang Yan prepared attire representing lawyers and skincare product makers.

Liang Yan, with a hat on his head that looked like a tube of eye cream, was a little flustered, "Xiao Yu sister, are the teachers here really reliable?"

It really sounds too capricious!

The students just wait in the class, and whichever teacher shows up is the teacher. If the teacher doesn't come, they study on their own, which is completely different from their previous teaching model! "Probably, if you can't adapt, we'll submit a transfer request."

Liang Yan immediately agreed, "Okay!"

Su Yu and Liang Yan were lucky. On their first day of class, a teacher in charge of financial management came to take students. Liang Yan also followed another teacher who taught how to make natural skincare products to the laboratory.

After a day of classes, Su Yu and Liang Yan dragged their tired bodies back to a villa near the school.

Ji Yan, holding Su Yu, asked with concern, "Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"Nothing much, my brain's been stuffed with too much, I'm a bit dizzy and tired!"

Su Yu really admires the teachers here! They have ability, but their teaching is too capricious!

When he teaches students, he doesn't care about their condition, only his own. He gets high on lecturing and doesn't care if he's hungry or his mouth is dry, and he lectures for an entire day.

If it weren't for a teacher reminding him that his class had run overtime, and that continuing without pay wouldn't be allowed, he would have kept lecturing!

Liang Yan nodded in agreement, "So many instruments, the teacher's hands are too fast to see clearly, and the cost is very high!"

Liang Yan spent the whole day marveling at the teacher's results. She really is a genius; the things she made work very well. She tried them one by one and indeed they were better than what they have at home.

But cost is a very critical issue. Doing it the teacher's way would bring their family close to bankruptcy.

"Do we still need to change classes?"

Zhu Xueheng worried that Liang Yan was too tired, that her studies would fall behind, and her emotions would explode.

"Don't switch, the teacher is too great, her method is good, she left it for us, perhaps I can find a way to improve it?"

Su Yu also didn't really want to leave. Once Wulongcha returns, she can, with Wulongcha's help, grasp a lot of knowledge and not be limited to a single subject. As long as she changes clothes frequently, she can attend any class.

The test papers Su Yu and Liang Yan did at that time were the ones the mathematics department gave. They had little to do with everyday study! Su Yu and Liang Yan's learning got on track, they gradually adapted to the foreign Tang Can, also chose a mentor they liked, and began the grueling daily routine of studying medicine.

【Host, I'm back!】

Wulongcha swayed with her milk‑tea body, a pretty little colorful flower atop her head, looking very cheerful!

【Good that you're back, quick quick quick, help me see what to do with this? Why, with the same steps, I can't make something like the teacher's?】

【Here!】

Wulongcha searched the data Su Yu gave, then followed the procedure, teaching Su Yu step by step.

With the system's guidance, Su Yu improved at lightning speed. Meanwhile, Wulongcha discovered some paper documents it couldn't locate here, happily recorded them all into its own database for future reference.

……

Unlike others' college lives, Su Yu remained very busy at university. Besides calling Tang Can, she and Liang Yan studied together, constantly encountering new challenges! "Sweetheart, are you free this weekend?"

Ji Yan returned home and saw her daughter reciting legal statutes.

Su Yu double‑majored in college, but what she actually studied far exceeded those two majors, so she essentially had no holidays!

"Is it this weekend? There's no required class, Mom, what's up with the weekend?"

The school's teachers are all capricious and don't like losing out. Overtime on weekends is unpaid; they generally don't teach on weekends unless a lazy teacher needs to make up hours.

"Do you remember Auntie Xie and Uncle Ye?"

"I remember, what's up?"

Thanks for the votes, dear ones—four thousand characters—good night~
