Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.

The dormitory supervisor saw her in the afternoon; she has a gentle personality and is easy to talk to.

The arrangement of mixed-use dormitories was already a troublesome matter, but Wen Xi was quite cooperative.

In addition, she was pretty, so the aunt paid her a few more glances.

"I'm Wen Xi, from the medical school," Wen Xi replied.

"Oh, that's right, this bag is for you." The dormitory supervisor handed over a large bag of snacks.

"I didn't buy any snacks?"

"Oh, it was delivered by takeout. Maybe it was ordered by your family."

Wen Xi opened the bag and glanced inside; it contained all the things she usually liked to eat.

Perhaps it was Ms. Xie who prepared it, and of course she happily carried a big bag of snacks back to her dormitory.

After spending an afternoon together, Wen Xi quickly became familiar with her roommates, who were all young people.

She had just placed the snacks on the table when Li Tingting and the others gathered around.

"Wow, so much delicious food! Wen Xi, can we eat some?"

"Good things are meant to be shared." Wen Xi laughed heartily.

"Thank you, these snacks look expensive, and there are lots of imported chocolates." The three of them went to choose their favorite snacks, and they were all very happy.

Wen Xi went to find a pretty vase and put the sunflower in it.

She bent down and took a sniff; the sunflower emitted a warm scent from the sun, and her previously gloomy mood instantly brightened.

My roommates remarked that the snacks looked expensive, and a familiar name flashed through their minds. Could it be that He Tingchu bought them?

Wen Xi's fingertips trembled slightly as he swiped to unlock his phone.

The contact list showed a missed call from half an hour ago, which belonged to someone.

A barely perceptible flicker of excitement flashed in Wen Xi's eyes. She cleared her throat, dialed the number, and heard a robotic voicemail message on the other end:

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable to answer."

Then came the busy tone of "beep, beep beep," and the call was quickly disconnected.

Wen Xi didn't think much of it; she had spent an afternoon with Gu Lianyu and witnessed just how busy her teacher was.

As for He Tingchu, he holds multiple positions and is even busier than his teacher.

Wen Xi decided to give up and simply take a bath and go to bed.

At 10:30, Wen Xi obediently lay down on the bed that He Tingchu had made. The blankets were soft and fluffy, all prepared by He Tingchu.

Thinking of this, Wen Xi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Despite feeling physically exhausted, her mind was unusually active, with the events of the past few days playing out in her mind like a short film.

I've been sleeping with He Tingchu for the past few nights, and now that there's suddenly one less person beside me, something just doesn't feel right.

So she pulled her phone out from under her pillow, made up an excuse, and sent the message.

Did you call this afternoon? Was something wrong?

...

The screen on the other end showed that it was typing. Wen Xi raised an eyelid.

It's okay, I dialed the wrong number.

...

Wen Xi was taken aback; so that's how it is.

There's no need to ask anymore; he couldn't have bought the snacks.

If we keep pressing him, wouldn't that just make him start having all sorts of wild thoughts?

[It's good that you're alright. Go to sleep early then. Goodnight.]

【Um. 】

He simply replied with an "Mm"!

She politely said goodnight to everyone.

The only response I got was "Hmm."

Not even a single "Goodnight"?

He Tingchu was indeed as cold and aloof as the legends had it.

This is his true nature.

She had been pretending in front of her family all along.

Even though he disguised himself so well, she didn't notice anything amiss.

Is he a chameleon?

That makes sense; it fits his aloof persona all along. No wonder he hasn't been in a relationship for so many years.

He doesn't deserve it.

I really want to block him.

Never mind, never mind, it's still on the same marriage certificate.

I endured it, I endured it.

A year later, she will definitely go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up on time, after all, the divorce queue is quite long and you have to get up early.

Wen Xi let out a low groan.

She even set an alarm for a year in advance to remind her in case she forgets.

After setting the alarm, she crossed her arms, pulled the covers up, and went to sleep.

As a result, her brainwaves became extremely abnormal when she closed her eyes. She glanced at the light on her phone in the dark. It was three in the morning, and He Tingchu's abstinent face was still lingering in front of her.

How annoying!

Later, she couldn't stay awake any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

-

And this is just the beginning!

For the next month, Wen Xi's schedule was packed with classes, but He Tingchu quietly disappeared from her world.

He took all the colors away without even waving his sleeve.

Wen Xi's world seemed to have turned into a black and white world.

But she quickly recovered; after all, medical students don't have a moment to grieve alone.

On second thought, this is actually a good thing; could their relationship return to what it was before they got married?

They agreed at the time that after marriage, they would not interfere with each other's lives, as if the marriage had never happened. Thinking about it again, this was also what Wenxi hoped for.

The two stopped communicating, which meant that the marriage was over but she was still single. Kant also got through it. This was the best ending, wasn't it?

But why do I feel a little lost deep down?

Why are you unhappy?

That day was Gu Lianyu's anatomy class, a large lecture for undergraduates, but Wen Xi's anatomy skills weren't very good, so Gu Lianyu arranged for her to be a teaching assistant and provide hands-on guidance.

"Wen Xi, your knife-holding posture is incorrect... Pay attention to the skin tissue, and go back and practice your suturing technique properly, otherwise your patients will suffer when you complete your residency in six months."

"How do we practice, teacher?"

How to practice?

Could it be that he cut himself?

"Go back and buy some pork, practice hard." Gu Lianyu rubbed his temples.

His student is academically gifted, having published many papers, but his hands aren't very dexterous. Yet, he still insists on pursuing a Master of Medicine degree.

"Oh." Wen Xi listened.

After the class ended, Gu Lianyu's phone rang.

He took off his white coat, handed her the documents, and went to answer a phone call a short distance away. Faint sounds of conversation could be heard coming from the corridor.

"Are you crazy? Why did you go to the US without saying a word? I'm not sending you any money. Come back yourself, or Li Mu will kill me."

"Yes, you're so busy. I overheard Dean Zeng chatting last time, and he said that this exchange program doesn't necessarily require you. What are you going to do there?"

"Dean Zeng even said that Hanyu is working himself to death and told you to get back here right now, but you just won't!"

"What, send a package? No way, I'm busy. I'm not your servant!"

She vaguely heard something about "Hanyu Technology".

Gu Lianyu hung up the phone and asked casually,

"Wen Xi, do you usually eat instant noodles?"

"Teacher, here's some food." Sometimes she's too busy to eat in the cafeteria, so she just grabs a quick bite.

"Which brand of instant noodles is the best? A friend of mine went to the US for an exchange program, and his mouth was killing him. He asked me to send him some instant noodles, but he's crazy. He's not willing to suffer, so he insisted on going to the US to eat hamburgers..."

"Your friend wouldn't happen to be one of them, would he?"

"Yes, it's Professor He, whom you met once before."

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment.

It was only then that she learned that her nominal husband had disappeared for a month, having gone to the United States for an exchange visit.

"They're all pretty good. I don't know your friend's taste, so I won't make any recommendations, but Master Kong is always a safe bet." Wen Xi's expression suddenly turned serious.

She was carrying her lesson plans and preparing to return to her dormitory when Gu Lianyu called her back.

"Wen Xi, I have something to tell you. Go buy Master Kong instant noodles, all flavors, as well as Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, pickled vegetables, etc., and then send them to Professor He. I'll give you his WeChat ID. Add him, ask him for his address, and have it delivered by courier with cash on delivery." Gu Lianyu instructed before leaving.
