Newlyweds are in the throes of passion, but Professor He's little darling wants a separation.
Chapter 40 "...You were too harsh on me, there's no gift for you."
"Ah, I don't want to!" Wen Xi screamed and fled for her life.
Finally, under He Tingchu's pressure, he obediently packed the set of past exam papers into his pink suitcase.
As their parting was imminent, Wen Shiyuan waited for her at the door.
"He Tingyou, thank you for the doll. This is my return gift to you."
Wen Xi listens to his mother and has been staying at the He family's house for two months, preparing gifts for them.
Wen Xi prepared a blue digital watch for He Tingyou, the same model as the pink one she was wearing on her wrist.
Everyone in the family received a gift: Bai Xue received a wool shawl, Grandma received the Four Treasures of the Study, He Tingbai received a new game console, but He Tingchu received nothing... empty-handed.
Before Wen Xi got into the car, He Tingchu touched his nose and asked in a muffled voice,
"What about mine?"
"You were too harsh on me. As punishment, you will not receive your gift."
"Then I'll have to collect the training fee." Taking advantage of his height, he grabbed her wrist and took her favorite pink digital watch.
"He Tingchu, you big bad guy, just you wait, I'll be back." Before starting the car, Wen Xi rolled down the window and shouted menacingly.
That was the first time she dared to call He Tingchu by his full name.
She returned ten years later.
Unexpectedly, he still kept this watch. Wen Xi felt as if a cat had scratched his heart, and a small stone had been thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples to spread outwards.

After the battery was charged to half a bar, Wen Xi prepared to run away.
She had finally gotten up very early and tiptoed into the living room. The elders were already sitting around the dining table, but He Tingyou was nowhere to be seen.
"Qiqi, let's eat breakfast before going back to school." Bai Xue came over and took her hand.
"Mom, I have an early class, so I'll be leaving now. Also, is He Tingyou alright?" Wen Xi asked, her eyes lowered.
"Wang Ma, I'm hungry. I want to eat pork wontons... with cilantro... with eggs... two..." He Tingyou's energetic voice came from upstairs.
Looks like everything's alright.
Bai Xue arranged for Uncle Wang to take her back to Peking University. When Wen Xi passed by a snack shop, she asked Uncle Wang to stop again. She spent a long time choosing snacks and finally returned home with a full bag.
The Maybach came to a smooth stop in front of the girls' dormitory. Uncle Wang quickly got out of the car and opened the back door.
"Uncle Wang, you should go first." Wen Xi got off the bus and stood beside the car.
Uncle Wang suddenly remembered something, so he quickly opened the trunk and handed a large bag of snacks and the things Bai Xue had prepared to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi smiled and waved, then carried the bags upstairs.
When Wen Xi opened the dormitory door, her roommates were surprisingly all gathered together. This was the first time Wen Xi had stayed out all night since the start of the semester, and Li Tingting's expression didn't look good.
"You're all here. Here, I brought you some snacks." Wen Xi placed the snacks on the table.
Normally, in situations like this, everyone would swarm over to pick out their favorite snacks, but this time, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding; they remained completely still.
"I won't eat it." Li Tingting ruthlessly pushed the bag of snacks away.
"What's wrong? These are all your favorite foods..." Wen Xi asked, puzzled.
"Where did you go last night?" Li Tingting began her interrogation.
Wen Xi was stunned for a moment; it turned out he was worried about her safety.
"Oh, I went home last night."
"Go home? Isn't your hometown Haicheng?" Li Tingting pressed.
During their time together, the four of them talked about everything, including their hometowns. Wen Xi didn't hide anything, saying that she was from Haicheng, her mother was a doctor, and her father ran a small business; they were considered a middle-class family.
"Oh, going back to another home." Wen Xi didn't even look up, put down her bag and went to change her clothes.
"Wen Xi, tell me honestly, who was that uncle last night...?" Li Tingting remained silent for a long time before finally asking the question that had been weighing on her mind.
She heard too many rumors about Wen Xi that day, and she was furious.
But the vivid rumors spread by everyone made her suspicious. She couldn't accept that Wen Xi was taking shortcuts in this way, belittling himself.
"That's Uncle Wang. Li Tingting, what are you thinking? I swear, it's not what you think." Wen Xi realized that she suspected Li Tingting of doing something shady.
She rubbed her throbbing temples, wondering what they were talking about. Their imaginations were running wild.
However, she couldn't say that Uncle Wang was her family's driver.
That would expose her identity.
Wen Xi didn't want her roommates to be close to her because of her status. She didn't have many friends to begin with, and she cherished this rare friendship even more.
Wen Xi turned his face away angrily, let out a low growl, crossed his arms, and looked very angry.
Li Tingting immediately felt guilty. She knew Wen Xi wasn't that kind of girl, but she had still wronged her.
She ran over and hugged Wen Xi's shoulders.
"I was wrong, baby. Hit me, okay? It's all because of those gossipers."
"╭(╯^╰)╮." Wen Xi made a heartbroken expression.
"Qiqi, forgive Tingting. She was just worried about you," Guo Shan pleaded.
Wen Xi turned her face away, covered her mouth, and laughed.
"So, are you going to have some snacks or not? This is your last chance."
"Let's eat." The girls finally started talking and laughing again, and chatted about some gossip.
"There are really no handsome guys at Peking University. I've been enrolled for over a month and haven't found anyone I like." Tingting smacked her lips.
"Why aren't there any handsome guys? Haven't you heard the legend of the two best guys from Peking University?" Tian Tian disagreed.
"What do you mean, 'the two dogs from Peking University'?"
"I heard it from my senior classmates. They said it's from professors at our school. One is a psychiatrist in the physics department, and the other is an executioner in the medical school." Tian Tian pulled up a chair.
"Cough, cough, cough cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Wen Xi coughed violently, his chest even vibrating.
"Baby, look how excited you are... By the way, medical school, Qiqi, you're in medical school, tell me quickly, have you met them before?"
Wen Xi remained silent. Could she say that she knew them all?
One is her husband, and the other is her boss.
Thinking of He Tingchu, a blush crept onto Wen Xi's face.
"So, you've met her before." Tingting saw through her little scheme at a glance.
"One is my supervisor..." Wen Xi blinked, and had no choice but to reveal her boss.
"Ah..." The girls screamed, insisting on seeing the photo, so Wen Xi had no choice but to pull out the photo of her and Gu Lianyu to show them.
The result was that all we saw were photos of Gu Lianyu in a white coat. He was handsome, but everyone was a little uninterested.
"I heard that Professor He from the Physics Department is incredibly handsome, even more so than Professor Gu. His classes are always packed. Why don't we audit his class... and see just how handsome he really is?" Tian Tian suggested, rubbing her chin.
"Cough, cough..." Wen Xi coughed uncontrollably again.
No.
Wen Xi was internally screaming his rejection.
"What's so great about old men? Hey, I have a high school classmate who goes to a sports academy. He invited me to dinner this weekend. They're all the fresh-faced guys from their academy... They're really well-built, at least six-pack abs," Guo Shan interrupted.
Guo Shan finally saved her life and successfully changed the subject.
People started a heated discussion about the sports college students.
Wen Xi finally regained his composure.
Over here, she rolled up her sleeves, took out her acupuncture kit, removed the densely packed silver needles inside, disinfected them, and then inserted them into her lotus root-like arm.
Everyone was used to it. Wen Xi, a medical student, was obsessed with medicine. She would prick herself with needles from time to time, calling it an experiment to practice her acupuncture skills.
She recently took a traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture class and became obsessed with hands-on practice.
Oh no, it seems I've stuck the wrong acupoint. Wen Xi frowned; it was indeed inconvenient to give himself acupuncture.
She urgently needs a white mouse for her experiment.
She had practiced several times in class, stabbing Gu Lianyu with steady and accurate movements, just like Rong Momo.
"I'm not going. I have a boyfriend. If he finds out, he'll be angry," Tian Tian was the first to refuse.
"Tian Tian, you pass. Wen Xi, Ting Ting, you two must go," Guo Shan instructed.
Guo Shan was under immense pressure; this was her mission.
A few days ago, Lin Feng from the School of Physical Education ran into Wen Xi and Guo Shan in the library, and he immediately expressed that he fell in love with Wen Xi at first sight.
Lin Feng happened to be Guo Shan's high school classmate, so he asked Guo Shan to help him arrange a meeting with Wen Xi to create an opportunity.
After speaking, Guo Shan secretly observed Wen Xi's expression, but Wen Xi's attention was focused on the silver needles, and she showed no reaction.
"I'm not going. I'm not interested." Wen Xi didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Wen Xi, how are we supposed to have a blind date if you don't go? There are three guys on the other side, all of them are tall, handsome, and muscular," Guo Shan coaxed.
Upon hearing the words "double doors" and "good figure," Li Tingting's eyes darted around.
"Damn, you're not looking at a handsome guy? You bastard! Honey, let's go together..."
Li Tingting grabbed her arm and shook it, switching into her coquettish mode.
"How can we not have a social gathering during the best years of our lives?"
"I really won't go... unless..." Wen Xi was about to say it when a sudden idea struck him, and his eyes darted around with ill intent.
"Unless what?" Guo Shan and Li Tingting asked in unison.
"Unless you become my test subjects, I can reluctantly agree. Try my acupuncture technique, it won't kill anyone. Tingting, didn't you say your neck was sore? Shanshan, didn't you say your arm hurt? I guarantee it will be incredibly effective, it will cure you instantly..." Wen Xi smiled slyly.
"We...no! Help!"
...
The girls burst into laughter, and finally, after Wen Xi repeatedly assured them that no one would die.
She pleaded and begged, and the two finally agreed to be her guinea pigs. Wen Xi nodded and said okay, but on the condition that she go to the social event with them.
Hehe, there are two lab mice.
