You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"It's okay now..." Xiao Yao said.

There's nothing wrong between her and me, but there's something wrong between you and me.

The boy noticed that he was on a busy street.

There are three big characters "Qinfen Street" written on the road sign. The buildings along the street are scattered in an orderly manner, but because most schools are on summer vacation, it does not seem so noisy and lively.

Looking around, there are three main types of shops along the street: Internet cafes, restaurants, hotels, Internet cafes, restaurants, and hotels.

These three types of buildings are staggered in sequence, with scattered convenience stores in between. Apart from these, there are almost no other shops.

Overall, Diligent Street is a lively and vibrant street in the university town. Apart from making students less diligent, there seems to be no other shortcomings.

"Is this Nanhui University Town?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"Should be...right? Yes, that's right." Shen Jie also looked around: "If you have nothing else to do, shall we go back to the city?"

"Let's wait for them to return to the city first," Xiao Yao pointed out. "If we move together again, what if the bus route takes a longer detour or the distance becomes longer? It's hard to predict what will happen."

"That's right." Shen Jie nodded.

"And I'm hungry." Xiao Yao said, "How about you?"

Shen Jie touched her belly, which seemed a little flat. "Well, let's eat here before we leave. I heard that the restaurants near the university are more affordable."

The boy and the girl held hands and walked along Qinfen Street towards T University.

This is because many street restaurants are closed during the summer vacation, so Xiao Yao suggested that they just go and experience the university cafeteria.

Although Shen Jie was not very interested in this, she still followed Xiao Yao's arrangement.

The school has not yet started its summer vacation, and it seems that the only "T-sized" person is the girl in the plaid shirt and glasses.

"Gouzi," Shen Jie asked him, "So, have you formally rejected what I discussed with you?"

"Let me think about it again." Xiao Yao was confused when he heard Shen Jie bring up this matter again.

"Okay." Shen Jie answered obediently.

As the sun sets, the sky takes on a gradient of golden and orange-red colors, gradually blending into the ivory tower in the distance.

The street lights on both sides gradually lit up, dotted the streets. A few college students hurriedly walked through Qinfen Street, some carrying shopping bags, some holding books, and the plants and flowers on the roadside looked particularly beautiful in the dusk.

The heat of the day has dissipated a little, and the breeze makes people feel very comfortable. The leaves make rustling sounds, and the fallen leaves dance in the wind.

"You mean this university town?" Xiao Yao turned his head in disbelief. "Does it need so many hotels? Are these people here to study or for other purposes?"

"Well," Shen Jie said, "There might be tourists, teachers and staff, and parents who send their children to school..."

"Who would come to the university town for tourism? Do you believe this?" Xiao Yao stopped.

"Aren't we?" Shen Jie argued.

On their right hand side was a hotel called "Xiyuan". A banner with white characters on a red background hung at the door, which read: "Opening promotion for our hotel. 7% off for all. Welcome new and old students!"

This reminded Xiao Yao of the banner in Song Haijian’s monastery that read “Quality-oriented education is the most shameless lie.”

Above the banner is an LCD screen, scrolling words such as "Double bed room 60 yuan/4 hours 128 yuan/day".

Shen Jie's eyes also lingered on the words "new and old classmates" and she pulled Xiao Yao's hand, "Let's go. You bad student, you worry about the discipline committee members every day. The "Secondary School Student Code" can't control college students, right?"

"Is there a 'Code of Conduct for College Students' and 'Code of Daily Behavior for College Students'?" Xiao Yao said.

"You can ask at the library here if there is a book called Criminal Law?"

As they were talking, the two finally finished walking along the long Qinfen Street and entered the back door of T University.

"You say, when you arrive in the glamorous world of the United States," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "it will definitely be more exaggerated than here, right? Will you be able to control yourself by then?"

Shen Jie let out a "puff".

"Shen Jie, I know that what I said is a bit low EQ, but don't laugh at me for being insecure. I heard from others that the circle of studying abroad is quite chaotic..." Xiao Yao stammered.

Shen Jie's mouth curled up, and the little devil in her heart emerged. She decided to tease him: "Okay, don't worry, I will try my best."

Xiao Yao was stunned. Is this kind of thing okay? He glanced at Shen Jie, who had a sly smile on her face. He knew he was being teased again, so he followed her lead and said, "Well, please, Doraemon."

Shen Jie put her arm around Xiao Yao's waist and continued to tease him, "Then...if I still make a mistake accidentally, will you forgive me?"

Xiao Yao thought for two seconds and grinned painfully: "I will try my best."

As night falls, the lights from street lamps and buildings illuminate the campus, twinkling like stars in the darkness.

T University has a mysterious and warm atmosphere at night. Along the main road of the campus, various trees become blurred and unreal in the night. The figures of students sway under the lights, some are jogging in the night, and some are holding books under their arms, as if they are going to evening self-study.

What caught Xiao Yao's attention most was the quiet and romantic atmosphere.

Under the street lights, several couples snuggled up to each other. Their figures blended with the faint light, as if becoming the most beautiful scenery of the night.

A couple was walking hand in hand along the riverside, with the reflection of the lights rippling on the water, bringing out their affectionate expressions; another couple was sitting on the grass, looking at the sparse stars in the sky, whispering something to each other.

A sad feeling welled up in Xiao Yao's heart. He wished that time would stop at this night, or repeat endlessly.

How many opportunities will there be in the foreseeable future to stroll with Shen Jie in the beautiful scenery of the campus like this?

He chose an empty street lamp, pushed Shen Jie under the lamp, and imitated the posture of the boy next to him, hooking his hands around the girl's neck.

"Why do you want to imitate others..." Shen Jie patted his arm, but her lips were blocked by the boy.

One minute later.

Shen Jie took a few sharp breaths: "Okay, let's go. Aren't we going to the cafeteria to eat?"

"Guess what I'm thinking?" Xiao Yao asked her.

"You are thinking, if we go to college together in this school, we can walk together hand in hand like this every day, that would be great." Shen Jie said without hesitation: "You feel sad because you don't want to be separated, because we can't go to high school and college together..."

Xiao Yao was somewhat emotional. He didn't expect that Shen Jie had understood him so well in such a short time. "So, how do you feel?"

"Same as you," Shen Jie leaned her head on Xiao Yao's chest: "I feel that walking together like this is very romantic and warm. I feel a little happy, but also a little sad."

"Do you really think so?" Xiao Yao was a little unconvinced: "Or are you just saying this on purpose to cater to my expectations?"

Shen Jie rolled her eyes at him: "Huh...can you be more confident? It's true."

The two finally reached the location of T University's first cafeteria - the first one they found was the second cafeteria, which was closed at this time.

Inside the First Canteen, the lights were dim and it was a bit noisy. The noise of people's voices and the hum of machines intertwined to form a unique atmosphere here. There were not many people eating, but there were quite a few. Some students had stainless steel trays in front of them, sitting in their respective seats, concentrating on eating. Their faces were illuminated by the dim lights and looked a bit blurry.

The air in the cafeteria was filled with a variety of smells, including the aroma of barbecue and fried chicken, as well as the faint fragrance of soup pots.

The prices in the cafeteria are indeed very low - two meat dishes and one vegetable dish are 6 yuan, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish are 8.5 yuan. There are several windows with a wide variety of dishes.

At the very edge there is a "Fat Chef Rice", with all kinds of meat-filled "Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs Rice" and "Oyster Sauce Beef Rice" for only eight yuan. Looking at the plates in the students' hands, the amount of toppings is quite large.

In addition, there are various windows selling stir-fried dishes, casseroles, spicy hot pot, etc., all of which are very cheap.

The only problem was that they didn't accept cash, only student magnetic cards. Xiao Yao struck up a conversation with a quiet girl wearing glasses, successfully borrowed her card, and gave her the cash.

The fast food was served on a rectangular stainless steel plate, and Xiao Yao liked the feeling of holding it in his hand. He had a good appetite and ordered a grilled pork chop with green onions, a portion of sweet and sour pork chop, and a portion of chopped duck with sauce, and a portion of small green vegetables.

Shen Jie only ordered one serving of stir-fried pork with green peppers and one serving of stir-fried shredded potatoes.

The two found an empty table and sat down face to face. Xiao Yao placed the iron plate in front of Shen Jie. "It really feels like we went to college together. Is this enough for you?"

"That's enough. Why eat so much at night?" Shen Jie smiled, without saying that she had no interest in these cheap fast foods.

The food in T University cafeteria is delicious. Although it is a big pot meal, it follows the eating habits of Shanghai people, with rich oil, red sauce, and not only heavy oil, salt but also heavy sugar. Xiao Yao eats it with relish and praises it highly.

However, Shen Jie was particularly polite when ordering the dishes. Seeing that Xiao Yao was eating with gusto, she couldn't help but feel greedy and kept reaching her chopsticks into Xiao Yao's plate.

At first Xiao Yao didn't think it was a big deal, but soon he realized that he was running out of food.

The food-protecting instinct deep in the human genes was aroused. Just like when he was in a bad mood, Xiao Yao felt a little unhappy: "If you take my food again, I'll be gone. If you want to eat, don't order it yourself, and then keep taking mine."

Shen Jie stuck out her tongue: "Look how stingy you are. I just like to snatch your food. It tastes delicious. If not, buy another one."

"The woman I borrowed the card from is gone! Where can I borrow another card?" Xiao Yao said with great sorrow.

"Okay, okay, I won't eat anymore." Shen Jie stopped the sweet and sour pork ribs that were about to hit her lips, and stuffed them into Xiao Yao's mouth with her backhand: "Following you is really a shame for eight generations——"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment with the ribs in his mouth, and Shen Jie finally realized the subtlety of this action.

"I want more." Xiao Yao said after finishing eating the ribs.

"roll!"

……

In the first cafeteria of T University, a boy and girl were having dinner. They looked younger than most of the students around them.

The boy scooped up a spoonful of shredded potatoes with a spoon and carefully presented it to the girl's mouth. The girl glanced around with vigilant eyes, and seeing that no one seemed to be looking at her, she opened her mouth, took the shredded potatoes fed by the boy, and her face was as red as a bubble teapot.

Then, the boy patted the girl's arm. The girl picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of white rice, picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks, and handed it over reluctantly, letting it stay at the boy's mouth for a few seconds.

The boy had a satisfied grin on his face, opened his mouth, took the food on the spoon in one bite, and chewed slowly.

"Is that all right?" Shen Jie's voice was low and trembling slightly. "We are in a public place and people are watching us."

"Who's looking at us?" Xiao Yao pointed around.

Shen Jie looked around again. It seemed that no one really cared about the dog food here. Everyone had an expression of indifference.

Is this the world of college students?

While she was daydreaming, Xiao Yao's spoon was brought to her lips again. Shen Jie swallowed it in one gulp without even looking at it, and then continued to help Xiao Yao dig out the rice and vegetables.

Just like everything else, Shen Jie adapted quickly.

But, didn’t we agree to be good friends again (even though the other party hasn’t officially agreed yet?), so what’s going on now?

Shen Jie began to worry if she was pampering him too much, but then she changed her mind and realized that after returning home, whether they could be friends again or not, they would spend less time together. So what was wrong with being nice to him for the next two days?

"Ah——" Shen Jie handed the spoon over again, and there was a hint of tenderness and love in her eyes as she looked at the other person.

"Wife," Xiao Yao once again took a mouthful of rice and green vegetables: "When is your exam? When are you going abroad?"

Shen Jie was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao swallowed the rice in his mouth and fed vegetables to Shen Jie again.

"It's okay." A piece of pork ribs with crispy bones was stuffed into Shen Jie's mouth. She loved crispy bones so much that she squinted her eyes in joy. "That's right, we've known each other for so long, and this is the first time you've asked me these questions."

Xiao Yao was shocked - after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

A strong feeling of guilt and self-blame surged into his heart.

He kept saying that he loved her, but he didn't care about her life plans - this feeling of guilt made him unable to calm down.

With a head full of pornographic garbage, how much time do I spend caring about and understanding Shen Jie's life and mood?

He felt that he was a selfish boyfriend and a selfish husband. He only wanted to tell Shen Jie about his own affairs, only wanted to have her company, and demanded emotional value from her, but never thought about his responsibilities and obligations.

The boy began to recall every moment he had spent with Shen Jie, and was frustrated to find that he often only cared about his own affairs and forgot that Shen Jie also had her own dreams and needs.

Even now, when I finally asked these questions, it was only because the crisis of separation was approaching, and it was only to calculate how long the other person could stay with me.

Xiao Yao wanted to slap himself hard.

He knew he had to make a change: "I'm sorry, really."

"As for me..." Shen Jie continued to feed Xiao Yao: "As soon as school starts in September, I will take the ACT exam - you can think of it as the college entrance examination in the United States."

"What?!" Xiao Yao's spoon fell on the metal plate, making a crisp sound: "Isn't the college entrance examination only two months away?!"

"You can take the test three or four times. One test doesn't determine your whole life," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao: "Take the ACT once a month from September to November."

"Where's IELTS?" Xiao Yao asked her.

"I've already passed the IELTS," Shen Jie said. "From September to December, I'll take the test. From January to April, I'll take the interview."

"interview?"

"College admission requires interviews, college admission and applying for scholarships, writing application documents, interviews, contacting alumni of various universities, and absorbing interview experience..."

"Wait, wait a minute," Xiao Yao felt a little dizzy. "You have two months left before the exam. Shouldn't you be fully preparing for it this summer?"

"Yes." Shen Jie said as a matter of course.

"As a result, you ran away from home and lived in my house. Every day you were so busy with my affairs that you didn't have much time to study—" Xiao Yao said anxiously.

"Actually, I've been reading books and doing exercises every day, but you just didn't notice," Shen Jie frowned slightly, "but it's true that my efficiency is not very high - and, I ran away from home. If I can't reconcile this matter with my father, even if I pass the exam, will you give me money to go abroad?"

"I can ask my grandma to borrow it—" Xiao Yao blurted out.

"Don't be crazy," Shen Jie sighed, "At worst, I can take the exam again next year."

"You... aren't you anxious?" Xiao Yao asked her.
