Chapter 98 When we were little, you said you wanted to marry me.
"Hello, my name is Yu Qing." Yu Qing smiled faintly.

Smelling the strong medicinal smell emanating from Xue Chongsui, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is little brother Chongsui also studying medicine?"

"OK."

Seeing the two chatting happily, Xue Li lowered his eyes, walked between them, and looked down at his younger brother in a calm tone:

"It's the weekend today, aren't you going to do your homework?"

“I don’t have to do homework,” Xue Chongsui replied.

"why?"

"I'm a senior in high school this year."

He just skipped a grade to high school this year. There is not much homework in high school; you only need to study on your own. After the college entrance examination, he will officially enter the medical school of Tsinghua or Peking University.

The Xue family had high hopes for him.

They not only wanted him to inherit traditional Chinese medicine, but also wanted him to learn Western medicine.

A fusion of Chinese and Western perspectives, regardless of which one you choose, can be beneficial.

Xue Li fell silent after hearing this.

Looking closely at her younger brother, who was barely knee-high, she asked with a complex expression, "Ten-year-olds can take the college entrance exam now?!"

He joined the army because he wasn't allowed to take exams when he was studying.

This has only been open for a few years, and I've only ever heard of no age restrictions, but this is the first time I've seen such young candidates.

"Special admissions students".

Upon hearing this, Yu Qing couldn't help but give Xue Chongsui a thumbs up and said admiringly, "Little brother Chongsui, you are really amazing. You are going to take the college entrance exam at such a young age."

Xue Chongsui's face flushed red from the praise.

"Stop chatting, your uncles and elders are waiting."

A woman in a cheongsam approached and beckoned to Xue Chongsui, "Come here, don't disturb your sister-in-law's first visit."

"Oh."

Xue Li glanced guiltily at Yu Qing, then looked at his mother and asked somewhat angrily, "How come my uncles and aunts arrived while I was just picking up one person?"

"You are the eldest son of the Xue family. It is a big deal for you to carry on the family line. Your uncles and aunts have put aside everything to come here when they heard that you brought your girlfriend home. That's giving you a lot of face."

Xue Li: "..."

He had nothing to say.

They were even worried that the situation would become too big and difficult to manage.

Mother Xue and Xue Chongsui walked in front, while Yu Qing and Xue Li walked behind. He said in a low voice, "Why don't we find an excuse to slip away? I reckon there will be more than just uncles and aunts later."

"You have quite a lot of family members."

Yu Qing held the gift box in both hands, feeling nervous. Thinking about meeting Mr. Xue today, her expression gradually became firm, and she said with a determined look in her eyes, "It's okay, I can handle it."

"alright."

Until 2 o'clock.

Wen Ci woke up and stretched lazily.

The sleeper berths on the green train were cramped, and the corridors of the carriages were filled with an indescribable, unpleasant smell, especially when passing through the carriages to get hot water.

She leaned against the headboard, pondering what she should do.

After getting up, Wen Ci went to the hospital.

She wanted to know exactly how long Huo Jingyuan would recuperate. If it was a long time, she planned to develop her career in Beijing, as the 1980s were a golden age for her.

The easiest time to make money was when China was still in a state of disrepair and rebuilding.

Just outside the Beijing Military Region, Wen Ci saw a simply dressed man squatting at the gate, holding a high school math book in his hand.

The main gate of the military region is guarded at all times, and non-military personnel or family members of military personnel are not allowed to enter.

Wen Ci walked over and asked curiously, "Are you studying here? Or are you waiting for someone?"

She believed that she should help others whenever she could.

Upon hearing this, the man who was half-squatting on the ground raised his head. When he saw Wen Ci clearly, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. "You're A-Ci?" "Ah?"

Wen Ci blinked, somewhat confused, and tentatively asked, "Who are you?"

The man slowly stood up, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and pointed to himself: "I am Gu Che from Shixing Society. When I was a child, my family lived on a mountain."

"Uh……"

Wen Ci had no recollection of it.

But with a gentle smile, he asked, "Then what are you doing squatting there?"

Gu Che sighed, looked at Wen Ci, opened his mouth as if to speak but hesitated, "It's nothing, I'm just waiting for a friend here."

"That's it."

Suddenly, Wen Ci's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment. She hadn't eaten since the instant noodles she had on the train last night, and had only drunk some water along the way.

"Haven't eaten yet? How about I treat you to a meal?"

As he spoke, Gu Che rummaged through his wrinkled, white bag and found a few loose coins, then smiled somewhat awkwardly: "It probably won't be enough for a meal, but it should be enough for two bowls of hot noodles."

"No, I have something else to do."

No sooner had she finished speaking than her stomach growled in protest.

Wen Ci couldn't help but blush. Although she didn't have much of an impression of the man in front of her, anyone would feel shy after making hungry noises twice in a row.

At Gu's kind invitation.

Wen Ci agreed.

People in the 1980s were simple and honest, and there were a few common sayings about the four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination.

Wen Ci thought that the relationship between the people on the same mountain should be pretty good.

Gu Che led Wen Ci to a nearby street stall. At this time, large factories were encouraging laid-off employees to start their own street stall businesses.

The nearby street is full of food vendors.

A moment later, steaming hot noodles were served. Gu Che glanced at Wen Ci, who had fair skin, and said with a smile, "Why did you come to the capital?"

"And you?" Wen Ci asked in return.

While eating noodles, Gu Che said, "There is no junior high school in our village, so I went to study in the county. Later, I came to Beijing to study high school, and I will be taking the college entrance examination soon."

"And what about this year?"

"25 years old is two years older than you."

Gu Che was born in a poor mountain village. Although he was a boy, he always did farm work at home until he was twelve years old when he started first grade.

His family was poor and his development was not good. Although he was only a teenager, he looked a little older than normal elementary school students.

"And what about you?" Gu Che asked again.

"My husband is injured and hospitalized, and he is staying in Beijing for the time being."

"You're married?" Gu Che's eyes widened in shock, so much so that he dropped his chopsticks. He hurriedly picked them up and asked:
Why did you get married so quickly?

"It's alright," Wen Ci replied.

In normal rural areas, girls get married in their teens. However, Wen Ci's adoptive parents, wanting to keep her under their control, never arranged a marriage for her.

"you you you……"

Gu Che opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, he sighed and said bitterly, "When we were little, you said you would marry me."

Did I say such a thing?

Wen Ci was both somewhat convinced and somewhat hesitant to believe it.

My gaze fell on Gu Che's face. Perhaps the original owner of this body, who suffered emotional abuse when he was young, really said these words to Gu Che, who seemed like a sunny boy.

But she is not the original body.

Wen Ci chuckled and teased, "How can you take what we said as children seriously? I heard you're taking the college entrance exam. Which university are you planning to apply to?"

"Tsinghua and Peking Universities!"
