Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Hearing Li Jianjia's words, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel moved.

"Jianjia, you've given too much for me!"

He couldn't help pulling Li Jianjia into an embrace, silently vowing in his heart that he would protect her well for a lifetime and give her happiness.

Li Jianjia also embraced Wang Xiaohua, and the two kissed quietly.

As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a wedding night; this night's intimacy brought both of them immense satisfaction.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning; Li Jianjia ordered two takeout meals.

Then she said to Wang Xiaohua:

"I have a lot of questions I can't quite figure out on my end; I wonder if you could tutor me a bit."

She took out a thick notebook — her error notebook.

Whatever questions she didn't understand, she would record in the error notebook, then research them repeatedly until she completely figured them out.

"I'll give it a try."

The postgraduate entrance exam generally has four subjects: Political Theory, Foreign Language, Professional Course 1, and Professional Course 2.

So-called professional courses are actually the specialized courses of the graduate major one intends to apply for.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia didn't study the same major, so tutoring her professional courses still had some difficulty.

But they could discuss them together; it might give Li Jianjia some inspiration and make things suddenly click.

The two kept discussing study problems until the takeout arrived; after eating, they continued discussing.

By noon, they still ordered takeout; after eating, they rested for about half an hour, then continued studying in the afternoon.

Not until evening did the two leave the rental house, walking to the school canteen, planning to eat there, then go to the playground to clear their minds, then return to the rental house.

The two walked hand in hand on the campus road, attracting the attention of quite a few passing university students.

Because judging by their figures and looks, the two really seemed a bit mismatched.

Li Jianjia didn't care about this at all.

But that's normal; if she truly cared about others' gazes, she wouldn't have been with Wang Xiaohua from the very beginning.

Just then, a familiar figure walked toward them from ahead.

It was none other than Lan Xiaomeng.

"Jianjia!"

Lan Xiaomeng greeted Li Jianjia with a smile:

"Haven't seen you in a long time; thought you'd gone home."

"I plan to go home in a few days." Li Jianjia replied politely, "What about you? When are you going home?"

Lan Xiaomeng said:

"Not going home; I found a summer tutoring job near University Town. Next year's tuition, I have to earn it myself — the pressure's huge."

Hearing this, Li Jianjia couldn't help but be stunned.

Lan Xiaomeng's previous actions toward Lin Yuan had left Li Jianjia with little good impression.

Lin Yuan was finally driven to jump from a building by online loans; Lan Xiaomeng and Liang Lina bore some responsibility, more or less.

But hearing Lan Xiaomeng's words now gave Li Jianjia a bit more understanding toward Lan Xiaomeng.

Lin Yuan, that wicked and stupid woman, really wasn't easy to get along with; Lan Xiaomeng only said nice things to Lin Yuan, coaxing her regardless of right or wrong; seeing through that Lin Yuan was being deceived by a scammer, she didn't expose it — this was merely self-preservation behavior in a girls' dorm environment.

Lan Xiaomeng's family didn't have the economic strength like Li Jianjia's family, couldn't do what Li Jianjia did — move out and rent a place the moment the dorm was uncomfortable.

No matter how uncomfortable, she had to brace herself and keep living there.

Under such conditions, not wanting to offend Lin Yuan, she naturally could only coax her.

But this coaxing turned into killing with kindness, even driving Lin Yuan to jump.

"Right, Lin Yuan's at the Provincial TCM Hospital Branch in University Town; why don't we find time to go visit her one of these days?"

Li Jianjia was stunned:

"She hasn't been discharged yet?"

Lin Yuan's serious injury from jumping was quite a while ago.

So much time had passed; Li Jianjia thought Lin Yuan had been discharged.

"Discharged, then readmitted; the doctor said her spirit suffered a shock, her behavior and consciousness have some issues, so she took a leave of absence."

Lan Xiaomeng said it lightly.

Li Jianjia's reaction was also flat:

"Oh, then we'll go visit when we have time later; I'm pretty busy right now."

The meaning of Li Jianjia's words was a tactful refusal.

She didn't want to visit Lin Yuan; Lin Yuan wasn't her relative, she had no obligation to visit.

She wouldn't be like certain women with overflowing sympathy; that 3,500 yuan she lent Lin Yuan before — Lin Yuan still hasn't repaid it to this day.

"Alright then; let me know when you're free."

Lan Xiaomeng didn't really want to visit Lin Yuan either; she just said it casually to show she was more compassionate.

"My boyfriend and I still have things to do, so we won't chat anymore."

Having said this, Li Jianjia left together with Wang Xiaohua.

Lan Xiaomeng didn't say anything more either.

Because she knew in her heart that she and Li Jianjia were simply not people from the same world.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia lived together in a rental house in University Town for over a week; their daily lives were much the same every day — studying in the rental house during the daytime, going out for a walk in the afternoon, and going back to sleep at night.

They didn't go sightseeing, didn't go to entertainment venues; life passed in an ordinary yet fulfilling way, and to outsiders it even looked a bit dull.

Not until Li Jianjia's mother Zhao Xintong called to urge Li Jianjia to return home did the two simply pack up their luggage and go back to their hometown county town.

If they didn't go back, Zhao Xintong was going to personally drive to University Town to find them.

The two took the subway to Tianhe Bus Station, then took a long-distance bus from Tianhe Bus Station back to the county town.

On the very evening they returned to the county town, Li Jianjia's father Li Zhongxian prepared a full table of fine dishes to welcome Wang Xiaohua.

Li Zhongxian was beaming with joy, and he also said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Xiaohua, there are other guests coming today too — and he's an old acquaintance of yours!"

Wang Xiaohua was stunned:

"My old acquaintance?"

He was very curious; in this county town, aside from Second Brother, it seemed he didn't have anyone particularly close anymore, right?

Just then, the doorbell rang in the living room.

Li Zhongxian laughed: "Looks like the guests have arrived — speak of the devil!"

With that, he hurried off to open the door.

Wang Xiaohua looked up and saw three people walk in.

It was none other than Niu Chunsheng, Lin Xiaofang, and Niu Lin Xin — a family of three.

"Uncle Chunsheng! Aunt Xiaofang!"

Wang Xiaohua hurried forward to greet them.

These were not just Wang Xiaohua's old acquaintances — they were the Wang Family's benefactors!

"Xiaohua! Long time no see! How have you been at Tsinghua?"

Niu Chunsheng already had some white hair on his head.

But his spirit and vigor were very good.

His body was also very sturdy.

Lin Xiaofang, on the other hand, was dressed very elegantly.

As for Niu Lin Xin, she had already grown up beautifully.

A veritable graceful and poised young beauty.

She was still that lively, not socially awkward in the slightest.

"Brother Xiaohua, long time no see, you seem to have grown quite a bit taller!"

This guy — his mouth really knows how to talk.

At such a young age, she already knows to tell short people they've grown taller, and ugly people they've become beautiful.

Wang Xiaohua laughed heartily, momentarily not knowing how to respond.

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly handed the gifts he'd brought to Li Zhongxian; Li Zhongxian declined for a while, but in the end accepted them, had Zhao Xintong put the gifts away properly, then went to fetch bowls and chopsticks for the meal.

He himself went to the wine cabinet and brought out a bottle of good wine to treat everyone.

Wang Xiaohua was very curious inside — how come tonight was such a coincidence that Niu Chunsheng's whole family came to visit.

Probably not just a simple coincidence.
