Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Jianjia came out of the Study Room, and the mood for studying was gone.

She completely never thought that she would actually encounter this kind of thing.

Returning to the Rental House, she checked her Mobile Phone; Xiao Hua hadn't sent her a message. By rights, he should have arrived in Beijing by now.

Today's matter of being confessed to — should she tell him about it?

Forget it, lest he overthink.

Or should she tell him after all, so he knows that she still has many people pursuing her?

Still forget it; if it creates unnecessary misunderstandings, that wouldn't be good.

Li Jianjia's heart was repeatedly tangled; unconscious emotional internal consumption — in just this internal consumption, an hour or two passed. Only then did Xiao Hua call her, telling her he had already arrived at the dormitory.

"How come you arrived in Beijing so late?"

Li Jianjia asked.

Xiao Hua just said: "The Airplane was delayed, so it was a bit late."

Li Jianjia's lips moved, wanting to ask if he had someone else now, which was why he was so determined not to want children?

But she felt this question was too ridiculous, too distrustful of Xiao Hua, and would cause unnecessary misunderstandings in their relationship.

She hesitated for a good while, then finally spoke:

"Is life on your end in Beijing okay?"

Xiao Hua answered with a laugh:

"Same old routine — dormitory, School, Canteen, three points in a line every day."

Li Jianjia asked again: "Beijing is so prosperous; haven't you ever thought of going out to take a look?"

This question of hers actually carried deep meaning — outside is so prosperous, and at the same time, there are so many good girls to choose from; are you sure you've never been tempted, never thought of going out to look?

Xiao Hua, however, didn't think that much; his inner drama wasn't that rich. Without a second thought, he answered:

"Where would I have that free time? Studies are busy enough. Besides, Beijing's prosperity is other people's prosperity; it has nothing to do with ordinary people like us. We ordinary people, even if we go out, are just squeezing onto the Subway, taking the bus, living in cheap Rental Houses, eating at roadside small restaurants."

Li Jianjia hesitated for a moment, then asked again:

"That is to say, if you have time, have the opportunity, you would go see the outside prosperity?"

Xiao Hua still answered without a second thought:

"Of course; with time and opportunity, who wouldn't want to experience beautiful things?"

Xiao Hua paused; he faintly sensed Li Jianjia was a bit off, so he added another sentence:

"If there's time and opportunity, then we'll go see the outside world together."

Li Jianjia smiled bitterly:

"Just afraid I'll become your burden."

Xiao Hua hurriedly said:

"How could that be? You're so outstanding."

By this point he already knew that Li Jianjia's mind was thinking those random things again.

So he hurriedly said again:

"Don't think too much; when Winter Vacation comes, we'll find time to go out for a walk."

"Mm-hmm, okay."

Li Jianjia ultimately still spoke about today's matter:

"That... this Afternoon someone confessed to me..."

Xiao Hua was stunned, then laughed:

"Doesn't this verify what I said? You're so outstanding, and so beautiful; it's perfectly normal for a boy to confess to you."

Li Jianjia asked: "You're not jealous?"

Xiao Hua didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

"What's there to be jealous of? We're husband and wife; I believe you've already refused him. I actually feel sympathy and pity for that classmate who confessed to you — after all, the taste of being rejected isn't pleasant!"

Li Jianjia frowned:

"You're not jealous — is that really trust in me, or have you stopped caring?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hua realized the severity of the matter.

He hurriedly said:

"Jianjia, don't think those random things; of course it's out of trust in you! You've already gotten the certificate with me; how could I possibly not trust you?"

Li Jianjia asked instead: "Then why are you unwilling to have children with me?"

Xiao Hua didn't know whether to cry or laugh:

"Aren't I still in school? If we have one, who'll raise it? At least wait until after Graduation, okay?"

Only now did Xiao Hua realize that Li Jianjia asking whether he really trusted her that much — in essence, was Li Jianjia already having a bit of distrust toward him.

So Xiao Hua hurriedly said again:

"From now on, every day, no matter where I go or what I do, I'll report to you in advance; how about that? Also, WeChat real-time location sharing turned on, so you can see where I am anytime."

With Xiao Hua saying this, Li Jianjia only then felt slightly more at ease.

At the same time, she felt guilt and self-reproach beyond measure.

Because she knew she shouldn't question Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua's love for her had actually long since been proven!

If Wang Xiaohua didn't truly love her, perhaps he wouldn't have married her back then.

You have to understand that at that time, not only did her family have trouble, but she also suffered from depression — she was stacked with all kinds of negative buffs — yet Wang Xiaohua still resolutely chose to marry her, even knowing this move might create major obstacles for his future official career.

"Xiao Hua, I'm sorry."

After her guilt, Li Jianjia hurriedly apologized, her voice choked with sobs.

Tears flowed down unstoppably.

"It's okay, don't cry, why apologize to me? You didn't do anything to betray me."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly comforted her.

Li Jianjia said:

"I kept thinking whether you had another woman outside; having this thought was wrong of me."

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Don't blame yourself; we've talked it through, isn't that enough? This isn't any big thing!"

Wang Xiaohua comforted Li Jianjia for over an hour, said many kind words, only then calmed her emotions down.

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his temples and couldn't help but sigh.

Right, originally he thought he'd return to the dorm and spend an hour or so practicing Essay Writing; now this time has been squeezed away — if he pushes this matter back, the later study plan will be disrupted too — he can only directly pass on this task.

"Why the sighing and groaning?"

Just then, roommate Wen Lingyun returned to the dorm, saw Wang Xiaohua sighing and groaning, and casually asked a sentence.

"Nothing, just talking on the phone with my wife; talking and talking, unknowingly over an hour passed."

Wen Lingyun laughed and said:

"Shouldn't that feel like happiness? Why sigh and groan?"

Wang Xiaohua was stunned, his heart gave a jump — yeah, shouldn't it feel like happiness? How come he was sighing and groaning?

At this moment, Wei Qian, who had been lying in bed playing on his phone, spoke up:

"I get this — love long enough and it becomes a kind of bondage; bondage means losing freedom; lose freedom and naturally you can't feel happiness!"

Wen Lingyun asked with a laugh:

"Wei Qian, is that why you and Yun Shu broke up back then?"

Wei Qian and Yun Shu were both from Tsinghua University, a talented man and a beautiful woman — extremely well-matched; everyone was optimistic about that pair and not optimistic about Wang Xiaohua's pair — but now Wei Qian and Yun Shu have already broken up, while Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia are already married.

"Counts as it!" Wei Qian sighed and laughed, then asked Wang Xiaohua: "Xiao Hua, tell me honestly — do you regret marrying your partner now?"
