Xi Ran and Chu Jiangyi lived a fulfilling life.

Although I'm busy every day, I'm very happy.

After Chu Jiangyi and Xi Ran got married, they lived in the rented house they used to live in, which is now the house they bought.

Although it can't compare to the Chu family's villa, it's very cozy.

Xi Ran was very happy living there, as was Chu Jiang. They could even occasionally come back to the villa for a meal, and they were having a great time.

This peaceful period was shattered by the admission notice that Xi Ran was holding in her hand.

She was admitted to the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts through a special admission process due to her outstanding academic performance.

She has two more years until graduation, and now she's going to study in Beijing, where she can get a diploma from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts.

A diploma from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts is far more valuable than one from G University, and it will be helpful for her future development.

Xi Ran was stunned for a moment when she received the admission notice.

I can't believe it's true!

She was very tempted.

Every art student dreams of studying at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts.

Although she had the opportunity to go to that dream place, she gave it up due to her family's circumstances.

Now that such an opportunity is presented to her, it would be a lie to say she isn't tempted.

How could this be?

Everything happened at once; she was truly speechless.

She and Chu Jiangyi were newlyweds, and if she suddenly went to Beijing, Chu Jiangyi would definitely not agree.

But she didn't want to give up this hard-won opportunity.

If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance.

She wants to go...

I desperately want to go...

Xi Ran was overjoyed. She had just checked the school address, and it wasn't far from Xi Yan's school. She would be able to see her younger brother more often after she went to Beijing.

Just thinking about these two advantages makes Xi Ran's heart restless.

I'm both worried and happy; it's a bittersweet feeling!

I'm really distressed!

If she went to Beijing, she could see Xi Yan often and wouldn't have to worry about whether that silly boy was doing well.

With her supervision, Xi Yan will definitely get better and better.

However, it would be difficult to explain to Chu Jiangyi...

Actually, she really wanted to study at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, after all, it was her ideal school, but now she had a family to support, so how could she go?

Her mentor told her not to give up this opportunity because she was outstanding, and this hard-won opportunity was rare. Such opportunities don't come often, and if she missed it, she wouldn't get another chance. Others would envy her, and she didn't want to give it up.

Since receiving the notice to go to Beijing, Xi Ran has been feeling uneasy. She wants to go, but she also has reasons why she has to go. It's a really hard decision.

"What's wrong? I noticed you looked worried while you were cooking, and now you look like this while we're eating. Is something the matter?"

Xi Ran shook her head.

She really wants to go to the art academy to study properly, as this will definitely help her improve her painting skills.

Suddenly realizing something, Xi Ran mustered her courage and said, "I want to go to Beijing."

"Missing Xi Yan? No problem, we'll go see Xi Yan this winter break and take a trip to Beijing while we're at it, consider it our honeymoon."

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that I want to study at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. Today, my advisor gave me an admission notice from the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts, which allows me to study there for two years. What do you think?”

Chu Jiang was momentarily stunned, then nodded randomly, "Go if you want to. Such opportunities are rare. Study hard and make progress every day."

"Aren't you angry?"

Chu Jiang shrugged, looking indifferent. "Why should I be angry? You're going out of the province, not abroad. Besides, this is a rare opportunity because my wife is so outstanding. If she wants to go, she can go. There's no need to worry about it."

Xi Ran's eyes were red at this moment. She really didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Chu Jiangyi agreed without even thinking. She thought Chu Jiangyi would not agree or give up. She never expected him to agree so easily.

Without warning!

This caught her off guard and left her somewhat overwhelmed.

"But...but...we've been separated for two years, aren't you...really angry?"

"Don't be angry. Actually, a director invited me to film a period drama in Beijing, but I declined because I didn't have time. Now it seems that I can take this short drama. We can still see each other often in the future. You can also go back to G City during summer and winter vacations. So we won't really be considered a couple living apart."

"It's not impossible for me to study in Beijing, but I have one condition, and you have to agree to it."

Xi Ran blinked her big eyes, wondering what Chu Jiang would ask for.

"Stay three meters away from all boys. Don't let them get close to you. And you must always remember that you are a married woman. Don't let any other boy steal you away. Got it?"

Xi Ran nodded.

"Don't worry, you're the only one in my eyes, there's no room for anyone else in my heart."

"I will always remember that. Besides, my man is so outstanding, would I even look at another man?"

Chu Jiang also smiled slightly.

It was clear that Chu Jiangyi was in a good mood because of those words.

"Good to know. If you dare to run away with someone else, I will break your legs and tie you to my side. You'll never be able to leave me."

"Is this really okay? We are civilized people."

"What's the point of civilization if wives are being stolen away?"

"That's sophistry!"

Xi Ran ignored him and started eating by herself.

With my worries resolved, my appetite has improved considerably.

The thought that she and Xi Yan were not far apart made her happy, and that she could have dinner with Xi Yan in the future.
