Wu Youliang chuckled, but upon hearing Huo Yingjie's words, he nodded cautiously.

He is lucky and should be content.

"I've got it. We'll be fine," Wu Youliang said. He was grateful to have such a wonderful wife.

To grow up in such a family and still be able to be self-reliant is the best thing in every way.

"Come on, tell me about your future plans," Huo Yingjie said. After more than a year of getting along, Wu Youliang was good in all aspects and should be a good teammate.

"What else can we do but wait for the school to assign us a place?" Wu Youliang said. He had excellent grades, but there were many other excellent people, such as Huo Yingjie in front of him, who got almost all perfect scores. He felt inferior to Huo Yingjie.

"Don't you want to stay in Nanshi?" Huo Yingjie asked in return. If he had other plans, he wouldn't stop him.

Wu Youliang looked at Huo Yingjie with hope. Why was this kid asking him that? Did he want to help him stay in Nanshi?

"Of course I want to!" Wu Youliang said. "Although I've only been in this city for a year and a half, I've already grown to love it. Plus, it's not far from my hometown, so I can go back to see my parents often. Yingjie, tell me, is there any way I can stay in Nanshi?"

"Have you thought about what kind of organization you want to work for?" Huo Yingjie asked. After graduation, some people want to go to factories, while others want to go to government agencies.

"It would be best if I could do research, but if not, anything related to my major is fine," Wu Youliang said. "Yingjie, which organization are you planning to go to?"

Huo Yingjie has excellent grades and a good family background; any organization would be eager to hire him.

"Are you sure you want to do research?" Huo Yingjie asked. If so, he would keep Wu Youliang by his side so they could help each other out in the future and wouldn't need to team up with others.

Wu Youliang nodded and said, "I'm sure! Don't let my cheerful demeanor fool you, I actually can't stand the things in officialdom. I don't want to work in a government agency."

“Me too, then let’s go to the research institute,” Huo Yingjie said, having a companion would be best.

graduate School?

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, brother," Wu Youliang said. "In the future, no matter what happens, let's work together and make efforts together."

"Okay!" Huo Yingjie nodded.

Suddenly, Wu Youliang's face fell, and he said, "Brother, I'm grateful that you've agreed to help me with the arrangements. But now I'm married and have a family. If Jingli is assigned to a local area, my wife and I will have to live apart..."

"Don't worry about that. Your wife is more suited to government agencies than you are. I heard from Tian Tian that she intends to stay in Nanshi," Huo Yingjie said. "With her abilities and achievements, it shouldn't be a problem. You don't need to worry."

"That's good," Wu Youliang said. "I was really worried about the problems that might arise if we lived apart for such a beautiful wife!"

"Haha." Huo Yingjie laughed. "Brother, although you're not good-looking, you're very gentle and talented!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Youliang was overjoyed and said, "That's right. I need to be confident and work hard to create a better future for Jingli and our family."

Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli were both very happy when they left that evening.

On the way, Huang Jingli looked at the stars in the night sky and said softly, "Youliang, I want to tell you that the two best things I've ever done in my life are: first, not sticking to my principles and not being an enemy of He Tiantian; and second, getting into university."

"Why would you say that you're an enemy of He Tiantian?" Wu Youliang asked curiously, as Huang Jingli rarely talked about her past as a sent-down youth.

Seeing that Huang Jingli was in high spirits today, Wu Youliang was happy to be a good listener.

"We went to Qijia Village together back then..." Huang Jingli whispered to Wu Youliang as they walked, telling him about their time in Qijia Village.

Wu Youliang was greatly surprised and dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"My God, is this really true?" Wu Youliang asked. That woman named Lin Xiaoru was truly wicked.

“It’s all true. We’re married now, and I wouldn’t lie to you,” Huang Jingli said. “I can say that during those years as an educated youth, apart from being threatened and bullied by Lin Xiaoru, everyone else treated me well. Those times when Lin Xiaoru wanted to harm He Tiantian and cause her trouble, I didn’t do anything, or I secretly informed He Tiantian, which is how I became friends with her.”

“Lin Xiaoru went too far,” Wu Youliang said. “Anyway, things aren’t like they used to be, where everything depended on family background. You don’t need to be afraid of threats anymore. Besides, you have me now. If there’s anything, you can discuss it with me, and we’ll find a solution together.”

"Yes, it's so good to have you," Huang Jingli said. Although she wasn't very smart, she knew that every choice she made after careful consideration was the right one.

For example, unlike Lin Xiao, he didn't go along with her corrupt ways, nor did he oppose He Tiantian; instead, he studied hard to get into university.

The reason they decided to accept Wu Youliang this time was because Wu Youliang could become friends with Huo Yingjie.

Huang Jingli knew that becoming He Tiantian's friend wasn't difficult; as long as they got along well, they would gradually become friends.

But Huo Yingjie was arrogant and conceited, and very difficult to get close to.

It can be said that Huo Yingjie is the most discerning man Huang Jingli has ever met, and also the most outstanding man.

She never dared to even dream of such a man, because she knew her own limitations and that she was incapable of controlling him.

That's why Wu Youliang, who can become friends with Huo Yingjie, must be a decent man.

Judging from the current situation, her choice was not wrong.

“Me too. Let’s not think about those upsetting things anymore,” Wu Youliang said. “Let’s be good to each other. Once we have a child, we’ll be a complete family. As for the others, we can’t really make them feel warm.”

"Yes, I know." Huang Jingli has a very resilient personality and can judge the situation clearly. She is not as upset as Wu Youliang imagined.

Thinking of Huo Yingjie's words today, Wu Youliang was overjoyed and couldn't help but share with his wife: "Jingli, Huo Yingjie told me today that he wants to take me with him to the research institute. I guess I'll stay in Nanshi. Are you sure you can stay in Nanshi?"

Huang Jingli smiled and said, "I'm confident, don't worry."

She believed that Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian had mentioned this privately as well. Since Wu Youliang would stay in Nanshi, she would likely be arranged to stay there as well. Furthermore, she was quite familiar with Teacher Chen; with some effort, she could stay in Nanshi even without needing anyone else's help.

"That's good," Wu Youliang said. "Let's go back to school."

The poor kids, once they go back to school they'll have to live separately; there are no dorms for couples at school. If they want to be intimate, they can only do so on weekends when they go back to their hometown.

Given these conditions, there's nothing we can do but endure it.
