Lin Chen was very efficient and quickly bought two bicycles, both in excellent condition, for eighty yuan each. The original owners had maintained them very well, so they were still usable.

Because of the accommodation issue, Lin Qiao didn't buy her a car, so she took the bus to and from work.

She started school early, and Lin Chen helped her carry her luggage to school, completed the enrollment procedures, and moved all her luggage to her dormitory.

There were eight people in her dormitory, from all over the country, but she became the one who knew the locals best, and everyone warmly made friends with her.

Seeing that she was getting along well with her classmates, Lin Chen left with peace of mind.

The next day, he and Jiang Ning also arrived at Huaqing to register.

The two of them, carrying only backpacks, traveled light and stood out from the crowd of people carrying suitcases.

After completing the enrollment procedures, receiving their books and course schedules, the two went home.

They handled the matter of returning home smoothly.

The couple got into university at the same time and had twins. The news spread quickly. The counselor understood the situation. If the two of them had to live in the dorms, the children would not be able to see their parents at the same time. That would be so cruel!

The two rode side by side happily on the tree-lined path of the campus, smiles on their faces.

At a bend in the road, Jiang Ning slowed down.

"Ah Chen, ride slowly."

She gestured for Lin Chen to pull over and stop the car.

Lin Chen stopped suspiciously and saw Jiang Rou crying and laughing at a man under a tree not far away, pulling and tugging at him.

"Honey, is that guy your sister's boyfriend? They seem to have had a fight," Lin Chen said.

Jiang Ning thought to herself that the conflict she created between the two last time must have worked; Li Jiabao was no longer willing to talk to Jiang Rou.

However, it seems that Jiang Rou has no intention of giving up and is still pestering him relentlessly.

Li Jiabao softened towards her again, and didn't know what to do when faced with her pleas for forgiveness.

As Jiang Ning pondered how to make Li Jiabao completely lose faith in Jiang Rou, a familiar figure gracefully walked towards them.

Meng Jiao also came to school. When she saw her friend being harassed by a woman, she walked over with a smile and took Li Jiabao's arm.

"Honey, why are you so slow?"

Li Jiabao instantly understood that Meng Jiao wanted to help him, and replied:

"Sorry, I tripped over something."

Meng Jiao then turned to Jiang Rou and said coldly:

"You're the woman who's been harassing my boyfriend, aren't you? You're shameless! You came to my school even after we broke up. How could you be so despicable!"

Jiang Rou was furious. How long had it been since they broke up, and Li Jiabao had already found a new girlfriend?

"Li Jiabao, what's wrong with you? I didn't mean to break up, how could you find a new partner?"

Jiang Rou grabbed Li Jiabao and questioned him repeatedly.

Li Jiabao didn't dare to make a move, but Meng Jiao wasn't going to let her get away with it. She stepped forward, shoved her aside, and warned:

"If you dare to harass my partner again, I will call the police."

Jiang Rou had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Li Jiabao thanked her profusely for getting him out of that predicament.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Ning appeared pushing her bicycle and came to them.

When Meng Jiao saw her, she jumped up with joy and rushed forward to take her hand:

"I was just wondering how to find you guys, I never expected to run into you today."

Jiang Ning also laughed:

"Xiaoqiao has been talking about you many times and even wanted to go to your house to find you, but I stopped her."

"Once we got here, we realized the address you gave us was quite something; it's a residential area for employees of a key company, and getting in isn't easy, so we didn't want to bother you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two introduced Jiang Ning to Li Jiabao.

Li Jiabao extended his hand to Jiang Ning.

"We heard that a couple of classmates from Huaqing came to visit, and we were all very curious. It turns out they are Jiaojiao's friends!"

I'm Jiaojiao's childhood friend, now a senior majoring in architecture. Let's have dinner together sometime.

Lin Chen quickly extended his hand to shake it and politely replied:

"Senior brother, you're too kind. We should be the ones treating. Please take care of us in the future."

Meng Jiao hurriedly said:

"We'll all be friends from now on, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to sit together. They also have a younger sister; I'll introduce her to you next time."

Jiang Ning never expected that Li Jiabao would want to become friends with her so quickly.

He is indeed destined for great things. He is already very thoughtful in his speech and actions, and he is also very approachable.

The group chatted for a long time before parting ways.

"I wonder how Gao Baoliang is doing. Meng Jiao is surrounded by very outstanding people now. If things continue like this, it will be hard for them to have a future."

Lin Chen sighed as he rode his bike.

Jiang Ning smiled:

"What else can we do? Life has to go on. Meng Jiao has a new life, and Gao Baoliang might have a young girl by his side too."

Especially you men, how can you let yourselves be idle?

Lin Chen felt uneasy after hearing this, so he rode up to her and grabbed her handlebars.

"Honey, you may say what you mean, but you must believe me. My feelings for you are genuine. No matter what happens in the future, I will always cherish you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning felt sweeter than honey and pedaled her bicycle incredibly fast.

In the days that followed, the two treated going to school like going to work, keeping themselves extremely busy.

Before we knew it, it was the children's first birthday.

After discussing it, the couple decided to host a banquet at a restaurant to celebrate the twins' birthdays.

Meng Jiao and Li Jiabao came together, bringing a birthday cake.

Ji Yang also arrived, carrying a box of pastries.

The twins can already walk and say "daddy" and "mommy". They smile at everyone they see, especially Jiao Jiao, who is incredibly affectionate. She'll be affectionate with anyone who holds her.

When Meng Jiao saw her, she hugged her tightly and didn't want to let go.

"Jiaojiao, you're also called Jiaojiao, I'm Jiaojiao too."

Jiang Ning doesn't need to look after the children herself; the two kids have already become inseparable from their uncle and aunt.

The atmosphere at the meal was pleasant, and everyone chatted about their recent experiences.

Li Jiabao is about to graduate, and while working on his graduation project, he is already contacting potential employers.

Ji Yang extended an invitation to him:

"Now that we've started reform and opening up, trade between our country and foreign countries will increase, and our unit has suddenly become a key unit. If you want to come, I can ask around for you."

Li Jiabao smiled gratefully:

"I studied architecture, so going to the Economic Committee might not be a good fit for me."

Ji Yang thought about it and realized that they might have a better place, so he stopped talking about it.

Recently, he's been in a good mood. His wife knows that his workplace has become a key unit and his salary has increased, so she no longer gives him a hard time.

Jiang Ning thought to herself, "This reform and opening up has really arrived. I won't have to do business secretly anymore."

The group of people started chatting about the topic of reform and opening up.

Just as everyone was having a lively time, Feng Shuyao suddenly appeared at the restaurant, looked at Jiang Ning with an almost sinister gaze, pointed at her nose, and cursed:

"You ungrateful wretch! Your father is sick, and you didn't even go back to see him. Instead, you're here eating and drinking like a glutton. You're worse than an animal!"

After hurling a few insults, she started smearing her friends: "Are you blind? How could you be friends with someone so disrespectful?"

Jiang Ning was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.
