They were both really tired that night, and when they lay together, they didn't think about that at all. Chen Yifei found a comfortable position on her body, put his hand on her, and planned to sleep.

The next morning, Chen Yifei woke up feeling as if something was pressing down on him.

He Runqing clung to him like an octopus.

He woke up naturally, along with his wife and her frizzy hair, and felt truly content.

I never realized that waking up could feel like happiness.

Just as he was about to pry the "octopus" apart, He Runqing's eyes, which were buried in his chest, suddenly lifted up.

He chuckled and said, "Chen Yifei!"

"I'm not asleep."

"I baked corn tortillas this morning. My parents said they were delicious, and my sister said they were delicious too. You should get up and try them."

Chen Yifei was somewhat surprised: "You got up and made breakfast, and then came to sleep with me."

"Yes, I took a nap with you. I got sleepy lying next to you, and then I slept for a while longer."

"I took the day off today, and Dad also told me to stay home and keep you company."

Chen Jianguo mainly felt that his daughter-in-law was meticulous in her work, whereas she had always been slow at her job.

Well... she was quite focused, anyway, the scorekeeper only gave her two centimeters, which is about the same as a child's score.

Chen Yifei nodded: "Dad said that because he wants you to be the scorekeeper. The previous scorekeeper, Aunt Lin, is pregnant. Dad said on our wedding day that he wanted you to take the job."

"But I also think you should do whatever you want. It's fine if you rest at home. Anyway, you have to take the college entrance exam. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish learning so much."

As he spoke, Chen Yifei stood up and handed her the cassette tape he had bought: "This is an English cassette tape."

"When we take the English exam, we'll listen to this pronunciation to see if it's accurate."

Seeing all this, and the preparations made at home, He Runqing's eyes reddened.

Then, looking at Chen Yifei, he said, "Then... I won't take the college entrance exam."

"Huh?" Chen Yifei asked, puzzled. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Why did you give up halfway through something that was already decided?"

He can be quite serious when he's not smiling. Of course, he doesn't have much experience in dating and charming girls.

At this moment, He Runqing suddenly burst into tears.

He didn't know if he was scared.

They immediately became at a loss.

"Um... Qingqing. I didn't mean what you said. Do whatever you want."

"Even if I don't want to take the exam, I still want to hear the reasons."

“Chen Yifei…you’re so tired and working so hard, I don’t want to be unable to help. I want to share some of the burden with you, just a little bit more. There are also many things to do at home.”

“I want to do more of these things; Sister Xue and Sister Shuang have worked very hard.”

"And you work so hard, supporting me through college. Doesn't that make me a bad woman?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yifei laughed.

"How is she a bad woman?"

"You don't rely on your own efforts, you lack the spirit of hard work, and you just want to reap the benefits without sowing. Besides, being a college student is great, but what if you stop liking me because you think I'm a college student?"

She had overheard the gossip from Wang Mei and the other educated youth at the village. They had said quite a bit that once you get into university, who would still want to be with their boyfriend from the village?

She was taking the college entrance exam, and Chen Yifei was her boyfriend.

She didn't want to break up.

Chen Yifei gently stroked her nose with his hand: "Silly."

"In other cases, it's the girl who dumped the boy, saying she didn't want him anymore. She felt he wasn't good enough for her. Would you think that way?"

"I definitely won't, I only want to be with you. Really..."

She even had...that kind of dream last night.

I felt guilty when I woke up, but luckily Chen Yifei didn't see me.

Isn't this supposed to be about the wedding night?

Before she got married, Xiaomei and the others had told her about it several times. Why hasn't she gotten married yet?

Of course, she would never mention such a thing!

Chen Yifei looked at her flushed cheeks, wondering what she was thinking.

But she still said, "Then it's fine if you don't know how! I'm not afraid you'll run away."

"When it comes to feelings, if you're always afraid of everything, what's the point of talking about them?"

"It's okay. You're just suited to go to university. Study hard, do things, and you'll have more options."

Seeing how insecure she seemed, Chen Yifei thought to himself that he would give it a try sometime.

At worst, I can go back to school again.

In his past life, after he became rich, he spent a lot of time improving his education.

It's nothing now, just a small matter.

It's very simple.

Just review the material before the exam.

However, Chen Yifei did not plan to tell He Runqing any of this. He would wait until she passed the exam and he would study with her... and then give her a surprise.

It seems pretty good.

Chen Yifei didn't go to university in his previous life either.

He Runqing listened to his comforting words: "Then I'll help you while you take the exam. I won't be studying alone at home."

"Okay. I'll do whatever you say, as long as you can manage."

She pointed to her little head: "I'm very smart."

At that moment, Chen Yifei planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Thank you."

Thank you, He Runqing. You've made my life less monotonous.

He didn't understand what happiness was in his past life, but now he understands it a little.

After a busy day, no matter how tired I am, as long as I see the warm yellow light waiting for me, and my smiling wife, and then we cuddle up and sleep soundly. No words are needed; that's enough.

There is no pressure, no discomfort, only happiness.

This is the happiness I could never achieve in my past life.

The two of them were standing very close to each other right now.
