You Changjin had also gritted his teeth and worked hard for a long time before he stood out from a group of excellent people. But his achievements seemed insignificant in the eyes of Jiang Xinyi’s family. Jiang Xinyi was a graduate student at Nan Da next door, usually busy with her studies, flying around the country with her advisor to attend competitions, or some seminars. She was already twenty-two this year, reaching another watershed in her life. Her family had arranged a job for her in Hucheng, or rather, to slowly take exams within the advanced system. However, Jiang Xinyi was unwilling to be manipulated by her family. More often, she wished to be an ordinary girl, eating spicy hot pot freely by the roadside. After work, carrying her high heels and walking barefoot on the bluestone paths by the lake. In some ways, Jiang Xinyi was an idealistic girl, always living in her own world. She didn’t like You Changjin that much. But she disliked even more the rhetoric of her family. So what if they were ordinary people? Do two people have to be perfectly matched to be together? Jiang Xinyi never bothered with such mundane concerns, so when she was about to graduate from her studies, she refused her mother’s arrangement and insisted on finding a job herself. To her surprise, her mother supported Jiang Xinyi, saying, "If that’s the case, try to break away from the family, consider it a test for yourself." "Your little boyfriend, isn’t he a counselor at the university? The treatment there should be enough for him to support you," her mother said as if it was only natural. But Jiang Xinyi retorted, "I don’t need anyone to support me." "I’m fully capable of supporting myself," she insisted. However, finding a job was a little more troublesome than Jiang Xinyi had expected. It wasn’t a problem of salary and benefits, but various irrational issues in the workplace. For instance, even when there was an optimal solution, the company didn’t want to use it. Or when an issue had been resolved long ago and she had already reported it, the supervisor would tell her just before closing time that it had to be redone. Then there were the unreasonable drinking and dining gatherings, which Jiang Xinyi found intolerable. Perhaps her mother was right; the world was harder than she had thought. And You Changjin truly couldn’t help Jiang Xinyi, only able to tell her, "It’s alright, if it really doesn’t work out, go back and apologize to your aunt." "You are her only daughter; she surely hopes you will return." Jiang Xinyi said it wasn’t about whether she should return or not, but whether she had the ability to live independently. "There wasn’t much to do backstage, so I came over to hang out with you. Did you watch my performance? Wasn’t I beautiful?" At this moment, Zheng Yanyan was feeling quite proud of herself. She was still in her pink jk skirt, and her tall figure was drawing the notice of many others. It was Zhou Yuwen who had obtained her but failed to appreciate it, not even noticing when Zheng Yanyan had sneaked up behind him. And now, with Zheng Yanyan coming over and fooling around with Zhou Yuwen, indeed, quite a few eyes were watching them, filled with envy of Zhou Yuwen. After tonight, Zheng Yanyan would definitely become one of the school beauties. In comparison, Zhou Yuwen seemed much more low-key. However, Zheng Yanyan didn’t care about any of that. She had already given her body to Zhou Yuwen, and even if she regretted it now, it was too late. But just now, she was reading everyone’s comments about her in the forum backstage. Zheng Yanyan felt a bit of pride in her heart, thinking at least she could hold her head up high and tell Zhou Yuwen, "I’m now very popular, you know~ You should treat me better~" "Hubby, do you know what they are saying about me on the forum? They’re saying I’m the prettiest girl in the whole school, and there are many confessions for me on the confession wall!" Zheng Yanyan said as she moved from behind to sit on Zhou Yuwen’s lap, speaking with a hint of pride. Zhou Yuwen said, "Then you see, the reason I never showed my face in photos with you was to protect you." "What are you saying? I don’t need your protection at all!" Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan was nearly infuriated. "Tomorrow I’m going to post the photo of us in bed together on the confession wall, so the whole school knows you’re my man!" Zheng Yanyan said. Zhou Yuwen coughed awkwardly, "Don’t talk nonsense; my teacher and his wife are right here." "Oh!" You Changjin and Jiang Xinyi seemed quite young, and Zheng Yanyan hadn’t taken much notice of them. Not until Zhou Yuwen mentioned it. Only then did Zheng Yanyan realize something and quickly sat down next to Zhou Yuwen. She couldn’t resist pinching Zhou Yuwen gently and said in a quieter voice with flushed cheeks, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Watching Zheng Yanyan’s performance, You Changjin couldn’t help but laugh in a teacherly manner, "Haha, Yuwen, is this your girlfriend?" Zhou Yuwen nodded and introduced his counselor You Changjin to Zheng Yanyan. And his girlfriend, Jiang Xinyi. Zheng Yanyan greeted them with a red face, never expecting that Zhou Yuwen would be sitting in front of teachers, and now she was terribly embarrassed. "The young lady seems quite spirited. Oh, were you the one who led the dance on stage earlier?" You Changjin had actually recognized Zheng Yanyan from the beginning. When Zheng Yanyan suddenly embraced Zhou Yuwen, You Changjin was initially stunned and then completely bewildered when he heard her calling out "hubby," looking at Zhou Yuwen in disbelief.
