At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

"Junior Luo, what year are you in?"

In the rest area, Tang Minghui casually struck up a conversation.

"Freshman year."

Luo Yao answered truthfully.

"Freshman year?"

"Doesn't that mean you've only been in college for a few days?"

Tang Minghui was slightly taken aback.

"Yeah, it's only been a month since school started."

Luo Yao nodded obediently.

"Okay."

"Hello, freshman year!"

Tang Minghui sighed, but in his heart he was thinking: That damn Ma Xiaokun is eating really well!

"You're a freshman in college, haven't you ever been in a relationship yet?"

Peach, with her long legs crossed, asked with a smile.

"Hmm, we haven't talked about it!"

Luo Yao nodded seriously; that was exactly what she had said when Ma Xiaokun asked her before.

Because she felt that not having been in a relationship was a plus, she subconsciously concealed the fact that she had a boyfriend.

Six p.m.

After a nearly six-hour high-speed train ride, Shen Yixiao finally arrived in Beijing.

In front of the train station.

He took a selfie with his phone and the words "Beijing South Railway Station" in the background, then sent it to his father to let him know he was safe.

He then hailed a ride-hailing car and headed straight to the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts.

Beijing South Railway Station is not far from Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, only about half an hour's drive away.

"Young man, are you going to see your girlfriend?"

While waiting at a red light, the talkative ride-hailing driver asked a question with a smile.

"Master, how did you know?"

Shen Yixiao asked curiously in return.

"Tomorrow is the start of a long holiday. If you go to the art academy now, it's not for studying, of course."

"Looking at your enthusiastic state, it's like you've been injected with chicken blood. I can't think of any other reason besides going to see your girlfriend!"

After listening to the driver's analysis, Shen Yixiao scratched his head with a big smile: "Is it that obvious!"

"I've been your age too, I understand!"

"I really envy you young people, you have so much energy to do!"

The middle-aged driver, whose hair was already thinning, sighed.

"I came all the way from Sanjiang to see my girlfriend, to give her a surprise since she won't be going home for the long holiday!"

Seeing the driver's envy, Shen Yixiao said with a hint of pride.

So your girlfriend doesn't know you're here?

"I asked the bald driver."

"Uh-huh."

"I'll call her downstairs when we get to her dorm building."

"Master, do you think she'll be very excited?"

Shen Yixiao asked with a smug smile.

"Maybe!"

The bald driver casually replied, then shook his head with a smile: "Only you young people dare to do this."

“Every day when I finish driving and get home, I send my wife a WeChat message in advance.”

"Uh?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Yixiao didn't understand the meaning behind the bald driver's words.

"nothing."

I hope you never understand!

The bald driver gave a bitter smile.

At his age, he has elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. The elderly need care, and the young children are still in school.

Every day he wakes up to expenses of several hundred yuan. If his wife didn't share the burden with him, he simply couldn't make ends meet.

The two of them are truly like grasshoppers tied to the same rope!
In this situation, what if the wife really cheats on her?

What are you going to do?

Divorce would be tantamount to cutting off one's own arm.

The quality of life will decline significantly, and the elderly and children may face the predicament of having no one to take care of them.

In this situation, it's not a question of whether or not you dare to divorce, it's that you can't divorce and you can't afford to divorce!

Such a lifestyle cannot withstand constant disruption.

Therefore, unconditionally trusting your wife, rather than artificially creating surprises, is the best choice.

Very helpless.

That's heartbreaking.

But this is something many couples are going through.

"Driver, please stop at the flower shop up ahead."

Shen Yixiao, of course, did not understand the helplessness in the bald driver's words. Seeing a flower shop not far ahead, he quickly pointed it out.

"okay."

"Young people are so romantic!"

The bald driver slammed on the brakes and stopped the car in front of the flower shop.

"Master, wait for me a little while."

Shen Yixiao got out of the car and went to the flower shop to pick out a beautiful bouquet of pink roses.

33 flowers, symbolizing love that lasts three lifetimes!

"Ouch!"

"Such a big bouquet, it must be expensive!"

When Shen Yixiao returned to the car, the bald driver couldn't help but sigh.

"Not bad, 199 yuan!"

Since it wasn't a special day, the 33 pink roses weren't very expensive, and Shen Yixiao could accept them.

Because of his wealth, Old Shen provided his son with ample funds for his date during this trip to Beijing.

199 yuan is nothing!
"Buy a bouquet of flowers for 199."

"Young people really dare to spend money!"

The bald driver remarked that 199 yuan was several days' worth of groceries for his family.

The flower shop was very close to the art academy, and a few minutes later, the car arrived near the girls' dormitory area.

It was almost 7 p.m., and the sky was already dark and hazy.

A rather bustling small commercial street has spontaneously formed outside the gate of the girls' dormitory area of ​​the Academy of Fine Arts.

The store has everything from snack shops and milk tea shops to supermarkets, internet cafes, and self-service KTVs.

A significant number of students don't go home for the long holiday, so there are quite a few students on the commercial street at this time.

Suddenly, a Porsche 718 sports car appeared on the street, its roaring engine and stylish body attracting the attention of almost all the students.

The bald driver, who had just driven up, couldn't help but exclaim, "Students these days are really rich!"

"Still in school, and already driving a Porsche sports car!"

Shen Yixiao glanced at the Porsche and nodded in agreement: "No school is short of rich kids!"

Just as the two were talking, the Porsche stopped at the entrance of the girls' dormitory area.

Immediately afterwards, a refined-looking young man got out of the driver's seat, jogged to the passenger side, and gentlemanly opened the car door.

Then, a familiar figure appeared before Shen Yixiao's eyes.

He had initially been just observing with a detached, amused expression, but his eyes widened and his mouth formed an "O" shape.

This……

Shen Yixiao's mind went blank.

Both his roommate and best friend Wang Yunpeng had reminded him not to try any surprises in a long-distance relationship.

Shen Yixiao thought that the melodramatic stories online could never happen to her, and completely ignored what her roommate and best friend said.

And now, he was completely dumbfounded. He got out of the Porsche.

It's my girlfriend!

Who is that man?

Luo Yao never mentioned it.

Shen Yixiao didn't recognize him either.

"The little girl looks quite well-behaved."

"She's quite pretty, no wonder she gets to sit in the passenger seat of a Porsche."

The bald driver didn't notice the change in Shen Yixiao's expression; he was still commenting on Luo Yao, who got out of the passenger seat.

"Young man, I'll park here for you!"

The bald driver stepped on the brakes. There were quite a few students at the dormitory entrance, making it difficult for the car to pass.

"Hey boy, we're here!"

Seeing that Shen Yixiao didn't respond, the bald driver turned his head to look at him and then reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

When Shen Yixiao came to her senses, she trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and then immediately pushed open the car door.

"Young man, flowers!"

Shen Yixiao sat in the passenger seat, while the bouquet of 33 pink roses was placed in the back. He got out of the car in a hurry and didn't even take the flowers with him.

The bald driver rolled down the window and shouted, but Shen Yixiao didn't even turn his head. Instead, he quickly ran towards the entrance of the dormitory area.

"What's wrong with this kid?"

The bald driver was completely bewildered and quickly stepped on the gas.

At that moment, the Porsche roared to life again, making a racket as it drove away from the scene.

It even brushed past Shen Yixiao, who was trying to stop it.

CNM!!
Stop right there!
Shen Yixiao roared, but his voice was drowned out by the roar of the Porsche's engine.

It seemed that no one could hear him except himself.

Ma Xiaokun in the car was the same. Because the music was so loud, he not only didn't hear Shen Yixiao's cursing, but he was also cursing.

Damn it, are you blind?!

I'll run you over, you idiot!

I can't catch up with the Porsche.

Shen Yixiao turned around and chased after Luo Yao, who had already entered the dormitory area.

At this moment, the other party was about seventy or eighty meters away from him.

Shen Yixiao wanted to call out to the other person, but after opening his mouth, he swallowed his words and silently took out his phone to dial Luo Yao's number.

Far away.

He saw Luo Yao take out her phone and put it to her ear.

"Baby, are you on holiday?"

Luo Yao's voice came through the receiver.

Upon hearing the word "baby," Shen Yixiao couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating bitter smile.

She just got out of another man's Porsche, but now she can calmly call herself "baby".

Shen Yixiao suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know much about his girlfriend, Luo Yao!

"Well, it's vacation."

"What are you doing?"

Shen Yixiao tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"Nothing to do."

"bored to death!"

"Have you been in the dorm all day?" Shen Yixiao asked tentatively.

"if not!"

"I'm in an unfamiliar place, where else can I go besides the dorm?"

Shen Yixiao remained silent.

I'll tell you later.

"My mom called me."

call ended.

Shen Yixiao stood still, silently watching the figure in front of him.

Under the streetlight.

Luo Yao held up her phone, seemingly chatting happily with someone.

"Young man, here are your flowers!"

Just then, the bald driver, carrying the bouquet of pink roses, walked up to Shen Yixiao, panting.

"Uncle, could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Uh, you use it."

The bald driver glanced at the phone in Shen Yixiao's hand. Although he was suspicious, he still lent him his phone.

Shen Yixiao skillfully pressed a number and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered, and Luo Meimei's voice came through: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hey……"

Listening to her future "mother-in-law's" voice, Shen Yixiao glanced at Luo Yao, who was standing under the streetlight making a phone call.

A bitter smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He finally believes it now.

Long-distance relationships really can't involve sending surprises!!

The bald man's phone went dead; it was an out-of-town number that no one answered, so Luo Meimei treated it as a nuisance call.

In fact, if the number hadn't been registered in Beijing, Luo Meimei probably wouldn't have answered it.

My daughter is studying in Beijing, so what if this phone call is related to her?

"Young man, don't be discouraged."

"There's something even better coming up!"

The bald driver patted Shen Yixiao on the shoulder, then sighed softly and turned to walk towards the BYD Qin parked by the roadside.

There are too many sad people in this world.

He's just a ride-hailing driver, he can't possibly comfort him!

Shen Yixiao held the bouquet of pink roses, standing there blankly until her figure under the streetlight disappeared from sight.

He turned around and walked onto the commercial street outside the dormitory area like a walking corpse.

As Shen Yixiao passed a trash can, she glanced at the bouquet of roses in her arms, then waved her hand, preparing to throw it into the trash can.

And just then.

A clear voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Wait a minute!"

"Don't you want these flowers anymore?"

Shen Yixiao retracted the bouquet of roses hanging above the trash can and turned her head in confusion.

Under dim street lights.

There stood a tall girl, dressed in sportswear and wearing a pink baseball cap, which covered most of her face.

In fact, even if she wasn't wearing a baseball cap, Shen Yixiao wasn't in the mood to observe a girl's appearance at that moment.

"The flowers weren't delivered?"

The girl asked again.

"Ah."

Shen Yixiao nodded.

"Then give it to me."

The girl held out her hand: "The flower is innocent!"

Shen Yixiao hesitated for a moment, then handed the bouquet of pink roses worth 199 yuan to the girl.

"Thank you."

The girl thanked her politely.

Shen Yixiao didn't say anything and turned to leave.

The girl lowered her head and sniffed the bouquet of roses in her hand, and exclaimed, "Even though they're secondhand roses, they smell really good!"

As she spoke, she looked up at the tall figure walking away and murmured, "Is heartbreak really that painful?"

"I suddenly want to try it out!"
