Chapter 36 The way down the mountain
"Are you really going to donate 1000 million to the school, Yiyi?"

The rest of the charity dinner has nothing to do with Han Yi. Walter and Shirley donated some private collections, and several of their friends also contributed some useless precious things. It was hosted by stand-up comedian Chelsea Peretti auction.

After more than a dozen rounds of cheers and laughter, the dinner raised a total of $167 million for private universities in the greater Los Angeles area to develop sports related to water polo, surfing and skateboarding.

Han Yi did not participate in any round of auctions, first of all because he has no interest in the development of surfing and skateboarding. After all, he really doesn’t know why this kind of event will be selected for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In addition to giving the United States an extra gold medal, What else can it do.

Secondly, winning the first prize at the auction will not be of any benefit to his future plans or his own image.All the celebrities who attended the dinner had already determined the amount of donations in their minds. Suddenly, a person throwing millions of dollars to show off, not only would not be able to shock the audience, but it might even be considered as a sign of too much money. Hot pocket fool.

What's more, Han Yi has already promised President Nikias a charitable fund of 1000 million yuan. When this money is published in the newspapers, there will naturally be several times more people than the number of people who attended the banquet. Know him, and therefore want to know him .

"The total amount is so much, but it should not be given at one time."

Han Yi turned his head and glanced at Xu Yiru, and said.The cash he can use now is only 1100 million, and the 1 million US dollars in Chase Private Bank will be unlocked in February next year. Therefore, although he is going to attract the attention of USC and IYA with an eight-figure donation, he does not intend to make a one-time donation. out.

Donate about 15% in the first installment, and the rest will be paid every semester.This will not only keep him with enough cash for deployment, but also help him complete another experiment.

If you do charity that suits your heart, will you be rewarded?
"clear."

Xu Yiru nodded obediently, and looked out the window.After a few minutes, as if she remembered something, she turned around and faced the driver's seat, her eyes narrowed into arcs representing danger.

"Is it enough to take advantage of today's bargain?"

"What's cheap?"

"Ok?"

Xu Yiru showed the back of her hand to Han Yi, until the end of the dinner, the two held hands tightly like a real loving couple.

"It made me sweat all over my hands."

"Ah? No, I..." Han Yi hurriedly looked at his hand, and sniffed it with the tip of his nose.Apart from the body fragrance as small as the first bloom of jasmine, where is there any other smell?

"Just kidding, I really want to smell it."

Xu Yiru breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands back on her knees, and lowered her voice.

"Thank you for inviting me, Yiyi."

"Why are you so polite? Didn't I tell you everything? You are the one I can best... You are the one who supports me."

"I told you about the plan my mother gave me." Xu Yiru continued on his own, "Since I was a child, they have tried everything to get me in touch with that circle, hoping that I can adapt to this life as soon as possible. I didn't resist. Yes, but I was really scared."

"Afraid of the evil mother-in-law?"

"It's not this, I'm not afraid that anyone doesn't like me, what I'm afraid of is..."

"What is it?"

"What I'm afraid of is becoming somebody's third concubine or fourth concubine."

Han Yi nodded silently. There are aristocratic families on Treasure Island. The open existence of three bedrooms and four bedrooms is even acquiesced by the public. It is not uncommon to see news in entertainment newspapers that the heirs of wealthy families compete for favor.

Xu Yiru is a girl whose voice is crisp and soft, but whose bones are all made of titanium.Well-behaved and strong are perfectly integrated in her slender body. She can obey her parents' arrangements in everything. She seems to have no independent opinions, but she will do her best to accomplish what she is determined to do.

The third month when I first met Xu Yiru was the final exam of her freshman semester, four papers, five exams, and two public reports, all piled up in one month.Han Yi, who went to the Levy Library to write his last thesis, saw the girl sitting alone in the single study room, so tired that tears fell down, but within 2 minutes, Xu Yiru regained his spirits and continued Fulfilling her promise of four-year undergraduate and master studies.

Han Yi didn't push the door to go in to care, because he knew that if he walked in, the girl would have to put on a relaxed smile to prove to her friend that she was fine.

This must be too tiring.

The Xu family's parents successfully raised Xu Yiru into a refined girl who is not moved by material things, but this is destined to make the precious daughter farther and farther away from the beautiful blueprint they drew.Let her be subservient to others for the so-called glory and wealth, and spend 30 to [-] years educating her children how to calculate the inheritance left by her biological father, in order to win the honor of a palace fight winner in Entertainment Weekly, it is better to wipe her neck with a knife , to end this suffering happily.

Only now did Han Yi understand why Xu Yiru, who was 27 years old in her previous life and had a nearly perfect personal image, did not get involved with any so-called wealthy family in the end.

This is a very contradictory period of life, as shown in the conversation in the private theater, she fully agrees with her mother's views on love and marriage, and also completely accepts the family's plan for her future.Xu Yiru's rationality is convincing herself to take the easiest path, but the most authentic flame deep in her heart is burning faster and resisting with all her strength.

Most people are reason against instinct, but she is using instinct to defeat reason.

"So today is actually pretty good." Han Yi comforted softly, "I let you see that even the group of people standing at the... It doesn't sound too good."

"The main reason is that his nose makes strange noises when he eats." Xu Yiru laughed with Han Yi.

"Yeah, so there is nothing worth sacrificing? It is enough to live the life you want according to your own mind."

"But, this is what I want." Xu Yiru stared at Han Yi with an extremely serious tone.

"Ah?" The girl's answer caught Han Yi unexpectedly.

"I always thought that I resisted this kind of life and didn't want to live this kind of life. But, I seem to be a very vulgar person." Xu Yiru covered her mouth, and her laughter was extremely clear and moving, "Some people might not like it, but today's experience After that, I was really hooked. Loved it all...all the feeling."

"I thought that no matter what choice I made, it would swallow me step by step. But I realized today that I can choose to learn to control it, be the master of it. Change its appearance, not change mine .”

"I can come into this life, but I don't have to accept it all."

Xu Yiru raised his hand and watched fascinatedly as his fingers kept changing directions and shapes in the air.

"Let me ask you, Yi Yi, did you... only recently found out that your family is so rich?"

"Yes."

Han Yi had expected that Xu Yiru would ask this question, and Han Yi, who had rehearsed it many times in his heart, answered quickly.

"Boys, they want me to exercise more, so as not to be coquettish and unmotivated. But I'm about to graduate soon, and it's time to make plans for the next step."

"Then are you afraid that you know this all of a sudden?" Xu Yiru's eyes sparkled with curiosity. Han Yi doesn't often talk about his own affairs, and has less time to share his emotions. "Are you worried that you won't be able to adapt? Worried...it will change you?"

"I'm not worried about change."

Han Yi shook his head and spoke the truth.

"I feel like God gave me a chance to do it all over again. What I worry about is that if I don't grasp it well, I will waste this gift that everyone dreams of. In fact, I can use this money to squander it, no If it is necessary to do something, fly around the world and live a 24-hour life of luxury... Who wouldn't want to?"

"I can go wherever I want and be whoever I want to be. One moment I can be an affectionate and good husband, the next moment I can be a merciless male dog, hurting people I want to hurt, and then How exciting it is for money to heal people who don’t want to be hurt, and my heart must be full of positive feedback. If the money in the account is thrown out, who can say anything about me?”

Han Yi turned his head to look at Xu Yiru, what he said was not entirely true.If there are only 2000 to [-] million, or nearly half a billion, then of course he is happy to be a modern Don Juan who indulges in flowers.

But now he has 1.85 million in cash and 1.4 million in investment funds. What is even more exaggerated is that this amount will become more and more as he uses it, until it is uncountable.

As long as you don't waste your wisdom and patience in material desires, it will be a matter of time before you stand on the pinnacle of your dreams.

Does such a life need money to buy love?

In other words, is the dewy love under the mask worthy of him now?
"For the vast majority of people, even if their partner is cheating, if the partner can throw 100 million dollars in her face, do you think she will try to understand? Do you think 1.85 million dollars is enough to buy two or three The so-called confidant, and throw out more than a dozen lovers who are pleasing to the eye, so that the rest of their lives will revolve around me?"

But who to buy?

Spend $100 million to buy a silicone Instagram model and become the looming patron of her St. Bath vacation vlog?

Spend 1000 million dollars, buy a pop star who changes boyfriends like changing clothes, and let those stupid asses in the TMZ editorial department make fun of themselves with straws in their mouths?
Or spend $1 million to cast a triple-A blockbuster, become the guest of some Hollywood legend, and then sadly find that her best years have quietly disappeared before she became famous?
Come on, why bother?
Secondly, are they worthy?

Han Yi is not the Aladdin Grand Marshal of Wadia, does not need post-event group photos posted on a wall in the bedroom, and does not need to collect different kinds of STDs from all over the world.

He is the challenger who will knock on the gates of the temples of the gods.His happiness does not need to rely on money to beg for alms from mortals.

Xu Yiru didn't answer, and there is no need to answer this passage. Anyone who has dealt with the word life knows the answer to the question.The girl just met his gaze, encouraging him with a calm expression.She knew that what Han Yi needed at this time was a qualified listener.

"But I feel, this shouldn't be the purpose of my appearance here? If God wants me to live like that, then I should have this much money from the beginning. The wealth that was suddenly given, and …There are so many ideas in my mind, and enough time, shouldn’t it help me to achieve an unrepeatable experience?”

Han Yi knew very well that Xu Yiru couldn't fully understand the meaning of his words, and what he said was vague enough.What he wants to do now is to find a lonely ridge path and dump the thoughts in his heart that no one can hear.

"So now I am afraid of falling asleep every day. I am afraid that I will wake up after falling asleep. This is just a dream, or... I suddenly grow old and usher in the last morning of my life in the hospital bed. At that time, I have a high probability I can't remember all the excitement and happiness, I should only think... In this life, this opportunity, what did I do with so much money?"

Han Yi let out a foul breath, and after a while, he said in a low voice.

"So, if you ask me if I'm afraid, I'm sure I'm afraid, so scared to death."

"I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of letting myself down."

"But the more afraid you are, the more you have to learn and do it."

"Because of this, I will not be afraid one day."

"You are really great, Yi Yi." Xu Yiru's eyes were full of encouragement and tenderness, "Very few people can choose to delay gratification under such circumstances."

"I don't delay gratification...Look, this Ferrari."

Han Yi smiled and patted the steering wheel. At this moment, he had withdrawn from the short-term emotional catharsis.

"Enjoy when you should enjoy it, and more importantly, you should regard the road of climbing up as enjoying. If the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in learning from the West, there are only difficulties, but no sense of satisfaction after solving the difficulties, then even if you are Even Monkey King couldn't hold on."

"I mean, face your desires, but choose your desires carefully."

"Understood, Teacher Han." Xu Yiru blinked playfully, made a joke, and intentionally brought the conversation back to a brisk atmosphere.

"We all have a lot to learn along the way, but don't worry."

Xu Yiru put her hands on Han Yi's shoulders, as if she wanted to convey her newly found courage in this way.

"I'll accompany you to the finish line... Hey, no." As soon as the words came out, Xu Yiru felt something was wrong, waved his hands quickly, and explained falteringly.

"I didn't say I had to... I mean, I didn't want to say... I didn't think about you, that, I'm going to... Ouch, it's north!"

The more he talked, the more he couldn't explain clearly, the more he talked, the more flushed his face became, Xu Yiru finally buried his face like an ostrich, and uttered a rare swear word.

"I see what you mean, don't worry."

It was Han Yi who comforted Xu Yiru. He touched the back of the girl's head and said softly, "The road is still long, and the scenery is so beautiful. Let's see more. Come on!"

"Well, come on!"

Xu Yiru raised her head slightly, revealing two bright stars.

Others might not be able to understand their code words.But Xiaoru knew that at that moment just now, the two of them found a way to make each other comfortable and happy for this relationship that was originally thought to be clear, but now it is difficult to define.

The magnificent scenery on the way of climbing should be enjoyed side by side when the sky is just right.When they reach the top of the peak, if they have not separated, then they will naturally support each other on the way down the mountain.

From the beginning to the end, the picture depicted perfectly fits Xu Yiru's perhaps immature, but firm enough view of feelings.

There are too many failure stories of the previous generation in front of her, Xiao Ru wants to take her time.

Don't be like strangers after vowing to each other, but let each other enjoy each other's hardships.

The way down the mountain was very fast, before Han Yi had time to say a few more words, Han Yi sent Xu Yiru back to The Vermont.Waving goodbye to the girl, watching her in a long dress so beautiful that she gradually disappeared behind the closed elevator door, Han Yi's cell phone, which had been unusually quiet all night in the inner pocket of his jacket, suddenly vibrated.

He clicked on the message notification, and a text message from Douglas Le Pen popped up.

"Congratulations - just finished the meeting, the transaction is confirmed. Call tomorrow morning to communicate the details with you."
