Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1084 Even a family with children can't compete with a second-marriage couple!
He Chen temporarily ignored Lin Miaomiao's ingenious naming method, letting her continue to think about it. There was no rush. The car had already entered the Tsinghua and Peking University campus.

"He Chen, you don't live in the dorms or at home, and you bought a house on campus. Isn't that because you're worried about inconvenience?"

Wang Yidi watched as Ruan Liuzheng directed the driver to stop in front of the faculty and staff building and couldn't help but tease him.

It's obvious that everyone already knew that He Chen bought a house on campus in Shanghai before even enrolling in university.

Now it's just a repetition of that process.

What Wang Yidi and the others were curious about was that He Chen had returned home but was not staying there, which was partly for the sake of freedom.

“My home is a bit far from the school, so it would be more convenient to buy my own place to live,” He Chen said, not denying it.

He has always been unwilling to live in the dormitory.

While the friendships formed between classmates and roommates at prestigious universities are invaluable connections for most people, they hold no meaning for He Chen.

In comparison, the inconvenience of living together had a greater impact on He Chen.

"Are you sure it's convenient for you?" Wang Yidi actually agreed with this statement. She was also increasingly reluctant to live at home. Even though she got along with her mother like a best friend, they weren't really best friends.

Even with true best friends, there are some things that are easy to talk about but difficult to discuss, which is always inconvenient.

So she also bought a house near the office building and lives there by herself.

But when she saw Ruan Liuzheng pointing the way and leading them inside, she took a quick look and immediately burst out laughing.

It turns out that the master bedroom of the house did indeed belong to He Chen, but the second bedroom had already been decorated in a very feminine style, or rather, it was very clearly decorated as Ruan Liuzheng's boudoir.

This is clearly a house that Ruan Liuzheng prepared for herself.

"I helped buy the house, and I took care of all the preparations. I'm also studying at Tsinghua or Peking University, and I still have four years left. It's reasonable for me to keep a room for you, right?" Ruan Liuzheng said matter-of-factly in the face of such a gaze.

“That makes sense,” He Chen said with a smile.

Anyway, even if Ruan Liuzheng lives next door, it won't affect his life at all.

Then, when everyone looked at the guest room and saw that it had been decorated and contained some of Huang Zhitao's obvious features, Huang Zhitao became a little embarrassed. Ruan Liuzheng continued confidently, "Taozi is my best friend and classmate. We study together, and she helps with everything. It's okay for her to stay in the guest room, right?"

"No problem." He Chen smiled and glanced at Huang Zhitao, still unconcerned.

He just didn't want to live in a dormitory environment with no privacy at all. This three-bedroom apartment, with one room for each person and some walls for privacy, meant that he didn't mind at all that two beautiful girls lived next door.

Huang Zhitao finally breathed a sigh of relief after his statement, but she was still somewhat embarrassed.

Actually, it wasn't that she wanted to live here; in fact, she didn't want to live here at all because she had no feelings for He Chen, and living so close to him would only make things awkward.

But her best friend insisted that she move in, and she couldn't refuse.

Besides the fact that she and her best friend have been together for four years, and there's another four years to go, and then there's residency training and so on, which will take even longer, and they might even live together before they get married, which is a very convenient and comfortable option.

She knew her best friend wanted her to reserve the spot so that other flashy, cheap women wouldn't have a chance to move in.

Especially since that sassy, ​​tacky woman who's just as famous as her best friend also lives in the nearby faculty and staff building.

If He Chen hadn't explicitly requested to buy an apartment in the school's faculty and staff building, her best friend definitely wouldn't have been willing to buy one there.

Faced with this reasonable request, aside from expressing some initial doubts, she was unable to refuse after her best friend made the explicit request.

"Best friend and classmate?" Wang Yidi looked around enviously, teasing, "If you say that, Xia Xue will be heartbroken. She just left, and you're already disowning her." "Yidi, don't talk nonsense!" Huang Zhitao quickly said, "She's one of my best friends. Xia Xue will always be Zhengzheng's best friend!"

"He Chen, did you go to England?" Wang Yidi chuckled but didn't answer, looking at He Chen: "Xia Xue went to England, Imperial College London!"

“No.” He Chen shook his head: “I mainly traveled around the United States, including Los Angeles and Pasadena in California, New York, Boston, Hawaii, and then I went to Rome, Milan, and Paris.”

"You were right not to go to England," Wang Yidi teased. "Just like you weren't going to Chengdu. Otherwise, with your good looks, wow!"

These words caused Ruan Liuzheng, Huang Zhitao, and even Lin Miaomiao to look at He Chen with some unease.

"It's such a pity about Xia Xue's family." Huang Zhitao was quite sensitive to this kind of thing, not only because of the gossip about her and her best friend, but also because Ji Yangyang, whom she liked in high school, went abroad and seemed to have some gossip about him and Fang Yifan, who went abroad with him. She couldn't bear to look at it and didn't dare to think too much about it, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Although her family was a blended family, it could be said to be the happiest and most harmonious blended family, even happier and more loving than many normal happy families."

But who would have thought it would turn out like this!

“That’s not surprising!” He Chen naturally knew what had happened to Xia Xue’s family over the years, and shook his head, saying, “No matter how happy and harmonious they are, they are still a second marriage and a remarried family. It is already very rare for them to be able to live happily and harmoniously for four or five years.”

Even first-marriage couples experience the seven-year itch!

Let alone couples who marry later in life!

If they could really have persisted, they wouldn't have all peacefully separated from their original spouses and remarried.

It's obvious that neither of them is the type to compromise themselves for the other, for their children, or for their family!
When faced with a real test, they can easily give up.

That's right!

The happy and harmonious blended family with a daughter was one of the most heartwarming sitcoms He Chen had ever seen in his previous life, and such a family was exactly what He Chen had always dreamed of.

But it wasn't a harmonious and loving family interaction.

Rather, it's the high quality of life that comes with having a daughter, a quality that no one can match decades from now.

That's the key to making a lasting impression!

However, if this crucial element goes wrong or encounters setbacks, and the blended family lacks the abundant material resources to sustain it, it's like a market where there's no growth and everyone is competing for existing stock—the situation will definitely not be harmonious.

Then the reality of each person remarrying and raising their own children will emerge.

Small conflicts can accumulate into big ones. In the end, you love your own flesh and blood the most. The key is that Liu Xing is not a good student. He is not good at studying. Where will he go in the future? His parents will still have to spend money and effort to prepare for him.

Unfortunately, Liu Xing is a troublemaker, and these aren't just the childish antics of his childhood. His major life decisions require a lot of money, and without sufficient financial backing, these antics are no longer the lighthearted comedy they once were.

At this moment, Liu Mei, Liu Xing's biological mother, who has always been regarded as Liu Xing's stepmother by Liu Xing and Xia Xue, will show the terrifying true nature of a 'divorced woman with a child'.

That's someone even Dorgon couldn't handle!
What makes Xia Donghai so capable of handling this?

Moreover, if Liu Mei really didn't love her son Liu Xing, she wouldn't have divorced him and taken him with her, and even made him take her surname. It's not like Liu Xing doesn't have a biological father!

Liu Mei was simply good at hiding her true feelings.

From the very first meeting with Xia Xue, his excessive attempts to win her favor, including his overly obsequious behavior that disregarded his dignity as an elder, were already quite evident.
