Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua said:

"I naturally know that marrying Li Jianjia will very likely become a burden on my life's path, but true love means not being disturbed by realistic circumstances and immediate interests when making a choice. Back then, Li Jianjia did not let factors like my appearance and family situation stop her; she overcame all opposition to choose to be with me. Now I naturally cannot abandon her just because her family has run into trouble."

Wang Xiaohua spoke these words with logic and reason, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lin Xiao listened, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

"Xiao Hua, I knew you were different from us ordinary people. You getting into Tsinghua University — there's a reason for it! I wish you and Li Jianjia can overcome the difficulties and get better and better!"

Just then, the other classmates arrived one after another.

Before long, the Homeroom Teacher also appeared at the school gate.

Over twenty people came to this gathering.

That counts as quite a lot.

Quite a few came specifically because they heard Wang Xiaohua was attending the gathering.

After all, everyone wants to bask in Wang Xiaohua's reflected glory.

Especially after entering university, everyone's perspective on things became comparatively realistic. Moreover, they were originally all high-quality top students, so naturally they wouldn't choose to discriminate against him because of Wang Xiaohua's height and looks.

What everyone saw was his identity as a Tsinghua University Student, and the very high probability that after graduation he would do better than everyone present.

Getting close to him now, building a good relationship, is definitely much easier and costs much less than waiting until later when he sits in a high position and then trying to curry favor.

So, for this gathering, being able to take a group photo with Wang Xiaohua means the trip wasn't in vain.

Many classmates took the initiative to come chat with Wang Xiaohua, then take a group photo together at the school gate.

Wang Xiaohua agreed with a smile to all of them, didn't put on airs or refuse, and was very polite.

When the gathering classmates had more or less all arrived, the Homeroom Teacher led everyone inside the school for a walk around.

Everyone returned to their alma mater, all with a special state of mind.

This was the place where they had fought hard for three years, and these three years could be called the most important three years of their lives. Three years of struggle would, in all likelihood, determine the direction of their lives.

After touring the school, everyone went together to a nearby KTV to sing.

Many classmates showed off their singing voices, all singing quite well. They probably didn't go to KTV rooms to practice singing any less during university.

Wang Xiaohua couldn't sing, so he just sat to one side chatting with a few classmates.

A classmate suddenly brought up Li Jianjia:

"Speaking of which, how come Li Jianjia didn't come to the gathering this year? I haven't seen her in a long time!"

"Me too, I haven't had any news of her for a long time. You have to know, she was my goddess back in high school!"

"You guys don't know? Her dad got into trouble!"

"What trouble?"

"He was caught for embezzlement!"

"A corrupt official, serves him right to be caught!"

"Used to think she was untouchable, now feel she's quite pitiful."

"Pitiful what? A corrupt official's children have nothing pitiful about them!"

"Cough cough..." Lin Xiao, knowing Li Jianjia had already married Wang Xiaohua, saw Wang Xiaohua's expression change slightly. At this moment he deliberately coughed twice as a kind-hearted reminder: "Everyone, stop this topic. Let's talk about university stuff instead. Have you all dated in university?"

"Nope. My school's male-to-female ratio is 7 to 3. Date what date!"

"What university you from again?"

"Guangdong University of Technology!"

"Oh! I know! That's the university where the school gate is all bachelor pillars — an engineering university! Haha! Your school gate's design really suits your temperament!"

"You got any good introductions?"

"Our high school classmates also have quite a few who aren't dating. You can look among them."

"Speaking of which, is Li Jianjia dating or not?"

Lin Xiao had barely managed to steer the topic away, but someone, with a single sentence, brought the topic back to Li Jianjia.

No choice. Li Jianjia was that kind of "Straight A student" with good grades, good looks, and good personality. She was who knows how many boys' White Moonlight. So when talking about the opposite sex, she naturally couldn't be avoided.

"Dating."

Wang Xiaohua replied flatly with two words.

"Who's she dating?"

A male classmate who admired Li Jianjia immediately wore a face full of gossip.

"Me."

Wang Xiaohua's expression remained calm as ever.

Several classmates listening nearby immediately showed surprised expressions.

Even a female classmate who was singing her heart out immediately stopped singing, turned her head to look at Wang Xiaohua, her face full of surprise.

"Xiao Hua, is this for real or fake?"

Everyone started gossiping.

Some classmates with no sense of propriety even asked:

"With her family in this situation, are you two still together?"

Wang Xiaohua wasn't afraid of people gossiping either, and answered very openly:

"We're all married."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more surprised.

Before, everyone felt Wang Xiaohua wasn't good enough for Li Jianjia.

After all, Li Jianjia was truly too beautiful, and her grades weren't bad either.

But now everyone secretly felt Wang Xiaohua wasn't worth it.

Li Jianjia's family situation had major problems, while Wang Xiaohua tested into Tsinghua University with a bright future ahead.

Getting married to Li Jianjia at this time, isn't that tying his own hands and ruining his own prospects?

If it were just dating, they wouldn't have this feeling.

After all, dating can end in a breakup.

Marriage is different in nature.

Even the Homeroom Teacher was surprised at this moment, and hurriedly asked:

"Xiao Hua, why did you get married so early? You haven't even graduated yet!"

The Homeroom Teacher's tone implied she was complaining about Wang Xiaohua's lack of rationality.

She also said:

"Marriage is a major matter, not child's play. You should understand this principle!"

The meaning of the Homeroom Teacher's words was very obvious — she didn't look favorably on Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia's marriage.

Wang Xiaohua still has a very long road ahead.

How could he lock down his marriage when his career isn't even settled yet?

For a talent like Wang Xiaohua, after he goes out into society, wanting smooth sailing, marriage might even be a kind of boost.

Now that he's married, the situation is reversed. Later, going out into society, whether entering the System or making his way in the world, marriage will no longer be a boost, but a hindrance.

"Teacher, this is my choice after careful consideration."

Wang Xiaohua smiled and replied with this sentence to the Homeroom Teacher.

Hearing this, the Homeroom Teacher couldn't help but sigh.

Then she suddenly stood up:

"Xiao Hua, come out with me for a moment!"

Wang Xiaohua knew the Homeroom Teacher cared about him very much, just like when he initially filled out his volunteer application, she also gave him many suggestions.

So he didn't feel she was overstepping, but calmly followed her out of the K room.

"Xiao Hua, you and Li Jianjia got married. Do your parents know?"

The Homeroom Teacher asked with concern.

"They know. They're quite happy."

Wang Xiaohua answered honestly.

The Homeroom Teacher smiled bitterly:

"Hehe, that figures. They're all rural people. Rural people all hope their children marry and have kids early. Who would care about the long term? It's just that you making this choice really surprised me. You'd better have psychological preparation. Marriage isn't child's play."

"Teacher, I know. Marriage is daily necessities."

Wang Xiaohua answered like this.

But the Homeroom Teacher shook her head:

"Marriage isn't just daily necessities. It's also a tool — a tool that can change your life. Do you know? Getting married to Li Jianjia at this time directly cuts your life's upper limit by more than half. Sigh, to speak frankly, you've been confused. I really feel it's not worth it for you..."
