A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

Ye Wenxi stood by the phone, timing it precisely.

It was exactly eight o'clock.

The municipal admissions and examination office should already be open for business.

Lu Weidong is on vacation today.

He sat at Ye Wenxi's desk, writing a supplementary strategy for the exercise tactics.

The paper was spread out with a simple hand-drawn topographic map, and he added arrows and annotations next to several firing points with a pencil.

The thought suddenly came to me last night before I went to sleep, and I put it down on paper as soon as I woke up this morning.

Amidst the swishing of pens, the faint sound of Ye Wenxi dialing a number could be heard coming from the living room.

"Hello, is this the Examination Affairs Section of the Municipal Admissions Office?"

"I am Ye Wenxi, a candidate who took the high school diploma make-up exam. I would like to check if the results have been released yet."

A pause. They seem to be searching over there.

"Okay, just a moment."

With a clatter of slippers, Ye Wenxi rushed into the house.

He snatched the pen from Lu Weidong's hand as he was writing.

Ye Wenxi returned to the living room, hunched over, pressed the microphone tightly to her ear, and gripped the pen in her other hand.

"Hello, you said—8992?... "

Lu Weidong put down the topographical map in his hand, got up and walked to the living room.

Lu Weidong did not disturb her.

He simply walked over and gently took the pen back from her hand.

But he didn't leave.

He sat down next to Ye Wenxi, then reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist from the side.

He gently rested his chin on her shoulder.

Ye Wenxi picked up the phone again, preparing to call the department that was specifically responsible for exam results and admissions.

Lu Weidong put his hand on her chest.

Your heart is pounding so hard it's about to jump out of your chest.

"Hey, stop fooling around!"

Ye Wenxi pushed away the large hand that was constantly rubbing in front of her.

I took a deep breath and dialed again.

A brief self-introduction, followed by a slightly longer wait.

"Okay, go ahead."

"You passed, right? Total score... 354?"

The ending note rises slightly, with an uncertain tone.

"Um, could you please tell me the specific scores for each subject?"

"....."

"Excuse me, I didn't hear you clearly in the math section. Could you please explain it again?"

"Mathematics...58??"

Lu Weidong suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Wenxi.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone, feeling a bit down.

Lu Weidong moved to the side.

In the past two days, he has fully experienced how emotionally unstable women are during their "menstrual period".

Ye Wenxi frowned and gave a cold laugh.

"impossible!"

With a wave of his hand, it almost fell on Lu Weidong, who was standing next to him.

"Absolutely impossible!!"

Those math problems were so simple, much easier than the current college entrance exam.

She has never failed math since she was a child.

Could it be... that I was careless?

The national college entrance examination has just been reinstated, and the difficulty of the questions is incomparable to what it will be in the future.

Ye Wenxi flipped through the textbooks and reference books and felt confident in her abilities.

Although I've forgotten most of the university material, this level of difficulty from high school shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Therefore, she focused more of her review time on subjects like Chinese, Politics, and History, which require rote memorization.

"I wrote it all down..." Ye Wenxi was starting to doubt her life.

I answered all of them.

But it wasn't written correctly.

This might just be the illusion of a "bad student".

Lu Weidong guessed it; he was pondering how to choose his words, how to say something that wouldn't ignite her.

For someone without a proper education and who hasn't spent much time studying to achieve this score, they are already considered a genius among geniuses.

But judging from his appearance, Ye Wenxi was clearly not satisfied.

Lu Weidong thought of something else, sighed, and felt a little gloomy.

Suddenly, Ye Wenxi, who had been frowning and silent, turned and glanced at him.

There seemed to be a hint of...apology in his eyes?

Then she picked up the phone.

I dialed a number.

Lu Weidong stared at the dialing gesture.

This is bad...

"Feed? Mom? It's me, Wenxi. Is Weihua home?"

After a short wait, a reply came through the receiver.

"Feed?! Second sister-in-law?!"

The sound was so loud that even Lu Weidong, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, could hear it.

"Wei Hua... come save me!" Ye Wenxi cried into the phone.

Lu Weidong rested his elbows on his knees and covered his face with both hands.

It’s over.

-----------------

In those days, there were very few review materials and reference books.

Aside from textbooks and a very limited number of exercise books, there are almost no other channels for people to systematically catch up on their studies.

For Ye Wenxi, the only person who could help her catch up on and improve her math scores in a short period of time was Lu Weihua, a top student with both high IQ and "silver quotient".

Lu Weidong was naturally unwilling to let Lu Weihua come.

Last time she was here, she caused a lot of trouble and even dragged Ye Wenxi to see all sorts of messy things.

Ye Wenxi hung up the phone, moved closer, and put an arm around his shoulder.

With her other hand, she pried his hands off his face, and then wrapped both arms around his neck from the sides.

"whee..."

She gave Lu Weidong a sweet smile.

"Didn't you say before that when I wasn't home for the exercise, you would have Weihua come over to keep me company?"

"It's not time for the exercise yet," Lu Weidong muttered, staring straight ahead.

"But Weihua's winter vacation is only so long. By the time you finish your rehearsal, she'll almost be starting school again."

"I can only ask her for tutoring, there's no other way to help me improve my grades in a short time."

"What if I fail my math exam again?"

Lu Weidong turned his head and looked at her, his eyes filled with reluctance and a touch of indescribable bitterness.

"Do I have to pass the exam this year?"

"You can learn at your own pace."

The thought of her going to university made it feel like their relationship was no different from that of people in a long-distance relationship.

Although I can come back on the weekend, it's still inconvenient.

When they first got together, he genuinely supported Ye Wenxi's decision to take the college entrance exam.

But my mindset is different now.

I still support it, but the thought of separating makes my chest feel tight and I can't breathe.

He loved her so much, to the core, so deeply.

I'm so reluctant to part with it. I'm so reluctant to leave.

"Waiting until next year is too long..."

Ye Wenxi noticed his dejection.

She was reluctant to part with it.

Even just thinking about the two of them separating now makes the longing start to gnaw at me, scratching at my heart like a cat's claws.

She had so much to do that year.

Her designs will improve, and her business will gradually grow.

The things that happen to her and the abilities she displays will become increasingly illogical.

She needs a legitimate educational background and identity to cover all of this up.

Lu Weidong sighed, turned his head, and a large hand pinched her face.

Ye Wenxi's lips were pinched so hard they pouted, making her look like a wronged little duck.

He gave him a quick kiss.

"When are you coming?"

Ye Wenxi chuckled: "Tomorrow."

Lu Weidong rubbed his forehead.

My period hasn't ended yet.

"Okay, I'll go borrow a bed this afternoon."

"Um..." Ye Wenxi stammered.

Lu Weidong had another bad feeling.

"Borrow two beds."

"What do you mean?" Lu Weidong's eyes widened.

"Xiao Jun is here too..." Ye Wenxi said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Lu Weidong: "......."
