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

He Tingchu felt a severe tightness in his chest.

I'm unhappy, and that's it.

He twitched his lips, but didn't say anything.

"Master, do you think he's being reasonable?" Wen Xi asked unsurprisingly, finally finding common ground with the driver.

See, there are still people in this world who understand her.

"That's unreasonable! But young lady, you should be a little more subtle when you speak, and consider your man's feelings. He's a grown man, he'll definitely get jealous."

"You can examine patients at the hospital, then he won't be able to see it. Just be a little considerate of his feelings in front of him, and he'll get jealous." The driver was a middle-aged man with a plump figure, who looked like he had a lot of experience in marriage.

This topic has moved into an area the uncle is familiar with.

He then started talking non-stop.

Why keep saying "jealousy?"

This seemingly insignificant word, however, happened to reach Wen Xi's ears.

Could it be that He Tingchu acted so childishly because she touched Lin Feng's arm today?

Is it simply because he's jealous?

But why is he jealous?

Something's not right with He Tingchu. Wen Xi turned her head and glanced at the man standing to the side. A faint tan had crept onto his angular, pale skin. She couldn't understand it.

"Why would I be jealous? Driver, please don't chat with passengers while driving. It's written on the passenger notice board here."

He Tingchu spoke up, pointing to the boarding instructions posted on the back armrest, her eyes darting away.

The driver was naturally afraid of being complained about. The platform had strict requirements and high prices, but he really couldn't afford to be complained about.

It's not worth it.

The driver had no choice but to shut up and stop offering his opinion.

Yes, he wasn't jealous.

Wen Xi thought to himself, how could he possibly do that!

She doesn't have that damn womanly charm.

Thinking of this, Wen Xi felt much more relaxed. It was probably his requirement for his other half in the marriage certificate. After all, he had repeatedly emphasized that they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up a year later.

The master was wrong. It might just be the influence of Chinese male-centric thinking. He simply can't accept that his spouse, whose name is on his marriage certificate, is cheating on him.

He simply doesn't like green.

She wouldn't cheat on him. She had no interest in men at all. Studying, working, and Kant had almost dried up her brain cells. Who had the time and energy to indulge in romance with young boys?

Hasn't she suffered enough grievances from He Tingyou because of her love-struck mind?

She will absolutely not follow in her footsteps.

"Why did you come back early?" She had heard Gu Lianyu mention it before; his exchange visit was supposed to last two months.

Gu Lianyu couldn't help but complain that his meal buddy had disappeared.

It's been less than forty-five days.

"I've finished my instant noodles," He Tingchu said irritably, her eyes listless.

"Oh," Wen Xi mumbled blankly.

"What, did my early return scare Mrs. He?"

"No, not at all." The moment she saw He Tingchu appear in the coffee shop, she stared at the man in front of her in disbelief, as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

A little bit of a scare followed by even more surprises.

It seemed that they had finished talking about everything and had nothing more to say. The two fell silent again. The air in the enclosed space seemed to freeze for a moment. Fortunately, the driver was there, so she didn't feel too uncomfortable.

We arrived at the library quickly.

The driver stopped the car and saw a boy wearing sweatpants and black-rimmed glasses waiting at the door. At that moment, He Tingchu's phone rang. He Tingchu glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Zeng Huaiming.

"teacher-"

"Where did you run off to as soon as you landed? Get back here right now. There's a problem with Hanyu's new product. Come to my office right now," Zeng Huaiming ordered.

"You go ahead and get busy, I can handle it myself. Goodbye." Wen Xi opened the car door, said this, and ran towards the library entrance.

"Wait..." The second half of the sentence stuck in his throat, and before he could finish speaking, the car glided past the library entrance.

The man turned his head and caught a glimpse of Wen Xi standing gracefully in front of the boy with black-rimmed glasses. A smile spread across the boy's lips.

He Tingchu frowned again.

We just got rid of one, won't another one come along?

A critical hit of 10,000 points.

-

"Sorry to keep you waiting, classmate." Wen Xi panted, looked up, and his pupils suddenly sparkled.

The man before me is clearly...

"Senior?" Wen Xi blurted out, his pupils shrinking.

"Wen Xi, long time no see," Xiao Jingping said, rubbing his nose.

Xiao Jingping - the man who embodies Wen Xi's youthful infatuation that was gently rejected.

Time has passed, and Wen Xi's youthful infatuation is long gone.

That year, she was only eighteen. What young girl doesn't yearn for love? Wen Xi, however, was brave and passionate.

She bravely confessed her feelings. At that time, Xiao Jingping had received an offer from Hawking and Pushkins, and Wen Xi was still a young girl. He tactfully rejected Wen Xi's confession, telling her to focus on her studies.

In Xiao Jingping's eyes, Wen Xi was just a freshman who had just finished the college entrance examination.

She smiled the same way she did today, her eyes crinkling with a shy demureness as she lowered her gaze. Xiao Jingping couldn't resist placing his palm on the top of her fluffy hair. He paused for a moment.

What are you thinking, little girl? You're only eighteen.

【Wait for me to come back. If you're sure you still like me then... maybe we can give it a try...】These words were deeply hidden in Xiao Jingping's heart.

At that time, Xiao Jingping was still unsure what Wen Xi's affections meant to him.

But in the years that followed, he struggled to study abroad and never experienced that heart-pounding feeling again. Countless midnights, he would often think of that girl who was as radiant as the morning sun.

...

In that instant, upon their reunion, the man's eyes reddened first; he dared not look directly into Wen Xi's heavy eyes.

"Senior, I didn't expect it was you who found my phone. Weren't you at Hawkingpus?"

"Oh, I've graduated and just started working at Kyoto University Hospital. I'm currently a surgeon."

"Wow, senior, you're amazing!"

"What are you doing at Kyoto University?"

"I, I was admitted to the Peking University School of Medicine's professional master's program."

"Wen Xi, you're great too."

A gentle breeze swept by, and a few strands of Wen Xi's hair fluttered lightly in the wind.

Xiao Jingping raised his arm above her head, his palm pausing slightly.

"Senior, I have something to do today, so I won't catch up with you for now. I'll treat you to dinner another day. I'll add you on WeChat." Wen Xi took the phone and quickly tucked a few stray strands of hair behind his ear.

The man's raised wrist fell limply to the ground.

"Okay." Xiao Jingping watched her figure disappear around the corner, lost in thought, and then, love vanished.

Wenxi, the future is long.

I've finally met you again.

Would you be willing to give me another chance?

-

After getting her phone back, Wen Xi coolly went to the campus supermarket and bought a bunch of nuts and chocolates that Tingting loved. She then quietly pushed open the dormitory door.

The room was quiet, but all the roommates were there. The curtains were drawn, and the room was dark. Everyone had their own desk lamp on and was reading.

Wen Xi quietly turned on the ceiling light.

"Guo Shan, who told you to turn on the light?" Li Tingting asked sternly, turning her head. In the bright light, her red, swollen eyes looked like walnuts.

Wen Xi was instantly frightened, her slender white fingers clenching her palms tightly.

She took a deep breath. Wen Xi never expected Li Tingting to cry like this. It seemed that she really liked He Tingchu.

"Tingting, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you..." Wen Xi lowered his eyelashes, not daring to look Li Tingting in the eye.

...

There was a brief moment of stillness in the air.

"Wen Xi, I truly consider you a friend, so why would you lie to me?" Li Tingting asked, feeling extremely wronged.

"I...I..." Wen Xi felt as if many little mice were slowly gnawing at her heart.

She was speechless, as if she had no way to refute it; she had indeed lied to Li Tingting.

"Tingting, you can't blame Wenxi for this. You've fallen for her boyfriend, so how could you expect Wenxi to give you his WeChat contact?" Guo Shan said, trying to smooth things over.

"Wen Xi, I trusted you, that's why I chose to be completely honest with you. In your eyes, am I the biggest joke? He's your boyfriend, just say so. I'm not so shameless as to try and steal your man, am I?" Li Tingting said indignantly.

From Li Tingting's perspective, she was right, and Wen Xi felt the same way.

She even admired Tingting's boldness in saying what she liked so openly.

Xie Chunxi's education of Wen Xi was traditional: to be reserved, to take on one's own responsibilities and obligations, and to take control of one's own destiny.

But Xie Chunxi never taught her how to handle relationships. In pursuing love, she wasn't as brave as Li Tingting; she was slow and dull.

In Wen Xi's mind, there is only the responsibility to her family. As long as it is for Kang De's sake, she will sacrifice herself without hesitation.

Her preferences weren't that important, and besides, she didn't need so-called love.

For a fleeting moment, she thought that if Li Tingting really liked He Tingchu that much, she would introduce Tingting to He Tingchu after she and He Tingchu divorced peacefully a year later.

But now, no, let's assume He Tingchu is with other girls?

Can she truly offer her blessings without any emotional turmoil?

It seems she can't do it anymore; she can't pinpoint what's wrong, but she probably can't.

"Tingting, I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked him so much... but I can't give you his WeChat."

Wen Xi clutched the hem of her clothes, raising her eyes to meet Li Tingting's sharp gaze, her shoulders trembling from the force of her movements.

"Who cares about the men you've been with? Are all the men in the world dead? You can keep your man yourself." Li Tingting slammed the door and stormed out in anger.

A loud noise came from the dormitory's iron gate, and Wen Xi instinctively shuddered, her eyelashes trembling.

Li Tingting misunderstood; she hadn't used it yet, and He Tingchu's instruction manual was complete and accurate.

It's not that she doesn't want to use it, it's just that she's afraid to.

...

"Shanshan, did I do something wrong?" Wen Xi looked at her blankly, his eyes filled with glistening pearls.

Wen Xi was heartbroken. She really cared about her friendship with Li Tingting. Tingting would always quietly bring her breakfast and protect her in front of others.

She doesn't have many friends, but Tingting is one of them.

"Oh, my baby, what did you do wrong?" Guo Shan quickly came over and hugged her shoulders to comfort her.

"Tingting is just too angry. Don't worry, she's so smart, she'll figure it out soon. You'll be fine."

is it?

Wen Xi didn't go out that day, and didn't even eat dinner. Guo Shan bought her her favorite fresh meat wontons, but Wen Xi didn't eat a single bite.

She was waiting for Tingting to come back, but Tingting still didn't return by evening.

It's all He Tingchu's fault.

Wen Xi felt increasingly aggrieved, and silently cursed He Tingchu a thousand times in her heart, filling her notebook with the name "He Tingchu".
