Sun Zhili didnât do well in her studies, and after graduating from high school, she stayed home to work on the farm, but she felt somewhat dissatisfied.
A few days ago, her mother even arranged for a matchmaker to introduce her to several prospects, but she wasnât very satisfied with any of them. Before coming here, she had already decided she must maintain a good relationship with her cousin.
After learning about Xinyanâs impressive skills, she changed her plan and wanted to get close to Xinyan. That way, when she goes to the city, she could visit her at school, and maybe even find herself a college student boyfriend. She just didnât expect Xinyan to be so indifferent.
Sun Baowei also felt his niece was somewhat out of line today. He glanced at her, then gave his third brother a look, signaling him to start loudly inviting everyone to sit and eat.
This little episode didnât affect the atmosphere today. Next, everyone toasted and boasted with each other, quickly reaching a cheerful climax.
After the meal, both parties sat down and quickly agreed on the wedding date, which was set for the twenty-sixth of the twelfth lunar month.
This made He Jinxuan terribly envious, frequently glancing at Xinyan, with an expression that was both amusing and a bit guilty.
Because Xinyan had classes in the afternoon, she didnât stay long.
On the way back to school, He Jinxuan kept glancing at Xinyan from time to time.
Xinyan naturally understood his intentions: "Focus on your driving."
He Jinxuan cleared his throat lightly: "Earlier, you asked me to convince my parents; now I have a lot of confidence."
In fact, he had already discussed the marriage with his future father-in-law, Han Jingchen, and the conclusion was that everything depended on Xinyanâs wishes.
But recently, Xinyan was quite busy with her studies, and He Jinxuan didnât want to distract her, so he hadnât mentioned it, planning to discuss it after her final exams.
To his surprise, his cousin managed to surpass them and moved forward ahead of them.
Xinyan had already thought it through and naturally wouldnât object, giving He Jinxuan a playful smile: "Go for it."
He Jinxuan got the response he wanted, his lips curling up, feeling extremely satisfied: "Yanyan, Iâll be going on a long trip the day after tomorrow. Iâll bring my motorcycle over to you this afternoon. Be careful when you ride."
Xinyan naturally understood what he meant: "Donât worry."
While speaking, she reached out and interlocked her fingers with He Jinxuanâs: "You too, drive safely. Iâll be waiting for you to come back."
He Jinxuan looked around the car, pulled her over, and planted a kiss on her forehead: "Go in, or youâll be late."
Watching Xinyan get out of the car and walk away, He Jinxuan finally retracted his gaze.
He thought that he could handle his matters before the year-end, and then he could show his sincerity to his future father- and mother-in-law.
In the following days, Xinyan first passed all the first- and second-year exams in the Medical School ahead of time. Her results were enviable, and her reputation in the Medical School skyrocketed.
Someone was not convinced, suspecting that Han Xinyan had cheated, and challenged her. The public challenge resulted in that person admitting defeat, and she left everyone in her dust, with no one daring to act up again.
With her goal accomplished, Xinyan then focused on the exams in the Western Language Department.
After a busy week, the school was about to go on break, and of course, scholarship awards couldnât miss a talent like Xinyan.
While packing in her dorm, Jiang Peiqin joked: "We canât catch up with you even if we tried, so weâre not going to bother. What are you planning to do during the break, want to spend a few days at my base?"
Xinyan placed the book in her bag: "No, Iâm going back to East Province with Jinxuan."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Peiqin put down her materials: "What, going to visit the in-laws?"
Xinyan nodded lightly: "Ever since we got engaged, we havenât returned. Plus, I want to visit some high school friends, so I agreed to go with He Jinxuan."
Though she had a good relationship with Jiang Peiqin, she couldnât directly say she had another purpose. But this wasnât a lie; she did plan to visit her classmates at the Mechanical Factory.
She also wanted to inquire about the Gu familyâs past, but whether she could find anything would depend on luck.
After packing, she escorted Zhang Zhaodi and Bai Aiwen to the bus stop, only to see Bai Aiwenâs former homosexual partner, seemingly waiting for someone.
Jiang Peiqin leaned over and whispered to Xinyan: "Is he here to mess with another girl?"
After all, this area not only has Beijing University but also other schools.
The person seemed to see them too, his expression changing, and he quickly turned to leave.
Jiang Peiqin said softly: "Last time, his family suffered repercussions from his actions, yet he dares to show up around here again?"
Xinyan watched the quickly disappearing figure: "What goes around comes around; those who commit evil will eventually be dealt with."
Jiang Peiqin thought for a moment and agreed: "Youâre right."
Bai Aiwen naturally saw the person too. Xinyan stepped up and patted her hand: "Itâs in the past, donât dwell on it. The bus is here, grab your things and get on. Travel safely."
Bai Aiwen had already moved past her low point: "Itâs over, donât worry, weâll be going now."
Zhang Zhaodi also picked up her belongings: "Thanks, Iâll bring you some treats when school starts again."
As they watched the bus leave, the two of them started walking back together.
Jiang Peiqin sighed: "Aiwenâs luck has been really bad, meeting the wrong people twice. Anyone would get hurt."
Xinyan nodded gently: "With Aiwenâs personality, I believe sheâll heal soon, and sheâll definitely meet the right person at the right time in the future."
Jiang Peiqin tilted her head to look at Xinyan, sensing a touch of melancholy in her words.
Just then, a car came to pick Jiang Peiqin up, and Xinyan had good eyesight, recognizing the driver at once: "Alright, stop dawdling with me; your fiancé is here to pick you up."
Jiang Peiqin was evidently unaware. Upon hearing Xinyanâs words, she exclaimed: "How do you know?"
While she was speaking, the car door opened, and Ling Wenhao stepped out of the car.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Peiqin forgot about decorum and her roommate, running towards him excitedly: "Wenhao, why did you come back early?"
