Chapter 46 The Childhood Betrothal of a Miao Girl (Part Sixteen)

"Yiqing, what should I do? I don't want to leave. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by the future female doctor." Shui Mingsheng...

"Yiqing, what should I do? I don't want to leave. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by the future female doctor," Shui Mingsheng said. She had originally planned to leave N City today, and the tickets were already bought, but Shui Mingsheng was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Will I have to wait another month to see Yi Qing again?

"I'll become a female doctor too, so were you fooled by me too?" Jiang Yiqing asked with a smile.

Shui Mingsheng always felt that she was the one who brought Jiang Yiqing to a place like Miaojiang, which seemed particularly cruel compared to ordinary society. Therefore, she felt a little guilty towards her and could only treat her even better. She held Jiang Yiqing's hand and said, "...Then Yiqing will also practice acupuncture and moxibustion in the future. Just practice on me. I'm not afraid of pain."

"Really?" Jiang Yiqing asked with a snort.

Shui Mingsheng's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and said, "Of course, I am the number one Gu Master in the surrounding area, and I am also the most beloved husband in Miao territory. I have no fear in order to complete Yi Qing's medical career."

Jiang Yiqing gently kissed her lips and said, "Okay, I understand."

Shui Mingsheng was tempted and became even more reluctant to leave: "How about we change our tickets? I really don't want to leave today."

Jiang Yiqing had no choice but to say, "You should go back. I'll come see you this weekend, okay?"

"So fast?" Shui Mingsheng's eyes lit up instantly. "Is it Yi Qing's system?"

"Yes."

"That's wonderful!" Shui Mingsheng said. "Then it's a promise, you must come back."

Jiang Yiqing nodded.

"Okay, it's a deal. I'll head back now."

Shui Mingsheng kept turning back to look at her, her reluctance causing Jiang Yiqing's heart to ache. After all, the two had only been married a short time and now had to be separated, which was truly heartbreaking.

Fortunately, she had the system to help her. Without it, Jiang Yiqing wouldn't know how she would have endured the torment of being in a long-distance relationship.

The next day, Jiang Yiqing began her learning journey. In order to integrate into the university classroom, she listened very attentively and would take the initiative to ask the teacher questions after class.

The teacher was sometimes quite strange. Some of Jiang Yiqing's questions were very clever, while others were too basic. However, since the student had asked, the teacher would teach her everything she knew.

To be honest, there aren't many students as studious as Jiang Yiqing these days. Even in medical school, where almost everyone works hard, she is considered one of the most diligent.

After class, she would continue studying in the study room and library. She would leave her dormitory every morning and not return until closing time in the evening.

Most freshmen are more interested in clubs, class officers, and classmates, but Jiang Yiqing is only interested in studying. Therefore, she appears exceptionally withdrawn.

Her only acquaintance was her roommate, Zhao Xiran, whom she met before the start of the semester.

"Jiang Yiqing, just how strict are you? You're in college now, and you still don't let up at all, do you?" Zhao Xiran saw her busy every day, and realized that she was a completely different type of person from herself. She felt like she was being driven crazy by these academic high-achievers, and they really had nothing in common.

Jiang Yiqing glanced at her and said, "What's it to you?"

Zhao Xiran instantly perked up. She put her arm around Jiang Yiqing's shoulder and said, "Beautiful lady, don't be so old-fashioned. Do you know how many people have asked me for your contact information these past few days?"

"Am I not already married?" Jiang Yiqing didn't even look up, continuing to read and take notes, and said, "Are people all so bored that they have to provoke married people?"

After saying that, he raised his shoulder and shook off Zhao Xiran's hand.

Zhao Xiran was a little embarrassed. She was the lesbian's dream girl, and she was always the one rejecting others, never the other way around. Suddenly, she was full of fighting spirit and said, "Then can you not have appointments with others, but with me?"

"Zhao Xiran, are you out of your mind? I have a wife, didn't you see that?" Jiang Yiqing said, "Ming Sheng speaks to you so nicely, and you treat her like this behind her back, isn't that wrong?"

Zhao Xiran surrendered with her hands raised. She just wanted to see if the relationship between the two was really that good, but it turned out that she was very wrong.

"Alright, alright, let's be friends. Is that okay now?" Zhao Xiran smiled brightly and said, "This will give your wife a little more vigilance, and maybe it will even strengthen your relationship."

"Are you talking about friends?" Jiang Yiqing said, pausing her pen and looking up at her. Her bright gaze seemed to pierce into Zhao Xiran's heart.

Zhao Xiran felt a chill run down her spine, realizing she had encountered a formidable expert who was not easily fooled. She felt as if the expert could see right through her thoughts. However, she had her reasons for doing so: "We're really just friends. I'd like to invite you for coffee to strengthen our friendship. Is that alright, Miss?"

Jiang Yiqing looked down at the jade bracelet on her wrist, smiled, and exuded a mature and confident aura that almost captivated Zhao Xiran. She thought to herself, "I don't know how my wife managed to win me over so quickly. She's really a master."

"Okay." Jiang Yiqing closed her book and stood up.

Zhao Xiran was still a little taken aback when she heard that the young lady had actually agreed, so she happily said, "Let's go then, Miss."

The two walked through the campus, creating a beautiful scene. Jiang Yiqing's phone kept ringing. When she opened it, she saw that several girls had messaged her privately, telling her that Zhao Xiran was a scumbag and that she should stay away from her.

Jiang Yiqing felt bored and silenced her phone. Then she deliberately ignored the 99+ unread messages at the top of her message list.

At first, Jiang Yiqing chatted with Shui Mingsheng as usual, but Shui Mingsheng was too talkative. Even though she knew that school had just started, he kept sending messages. The next day, Jiang Yiqing studied too late and was so tired that she fell asleep on the table and forgot to reply to Shui Mingsheng's message. When she woke up, the system notified her that the bracelet on her wrist was listening to her. Jiang Yiqing was furious and never replied to Shui Mingsheng's message again.

Jiang Yiqing followed Zhao Xiran to a coffee shop in the university town. The interior was elegantly decorated, and someone was playing the piano. Jiang Yiqing had also joined the piano club and was very interested in the instrument, so she listened to the music with a rapt attention.

She was a little distracted and followed Zhao Xiran to her seat. Zhao Xiran casually ordered her a coffee. She didn't come back to her senses until the piano music ended.

"Your coffee, please enjoy." A pleasant voice rang in her ears, and a cup of fragrant coffee was placed in front of Jiang Yiqing.

Jiang Yiqing turned her head and saw a shop assistant wearing a black cartoon striped apron standing next to her. She was about the same age as them and had a very pretty and charming appearance.

“…Thank you,” Jiang Yiqing quickly said.

She sensed an unusual atmosphere between the girl and Zhao Xiran.

"Hey, where's my coffee?" Zhao Xiran asked somewhat rudely.

"It's yours," the clerk said. "I didn't hear you. Did you order coffee too?"

"Lu Yu, don't go too far. I specially brought my roommate to support you, and you're not giving me any face at all?" Zhao Xiran said.

Lu Yu's eyes welled up with tears from her shouting. Jiang Yiqing couldn't stand Zhao Xiran's bullying attitude. She took out a hundred-yuan bill from her pocket, put it on the table, and said, "I ordered separately, keep the change."

Lu Yu didn't feel ashamed of receiving tips. She glanced at Jiang Yiqing with gratitude, whispered thank you, picked up the money, and turned to leave.

"Lu Yu, stop right there and explain yourself!" Zhao Xiran said.

"...What did you say?" Lu Yu turned his back and asked in a muffled voice.

"I rented you a place, but you didn't live there; I gave you living expenses, but you didn't take them. You're just going to degrade yourself like this, aren't you?"

"How did I demean myself?" Lu Yu's voice was full of confusion.

"You're making such a pittance, working yourself to the bone. It's laughable. Studying that lousy major is pointless. You should have just become my maid. I'll arrange for you to be my secretary. You'll have a much better future. Have you even seen the reality?"

"You can't insult people like that." Lu Yu felt like she was about to cry from the insults.

Zhao Xiran regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking. She opened her mouth, not knowing why, but she just snapped at her. She glanced at Jiang Yiqing and suddenly said, "Lu Yu, you know I can't be with you, right? So you want to make trouble for me? Even if I had to choose, I would definitely be with someone like Yiqing in the future. That would be a good match. It's impossible for me to be with a poor girl like you."

"I'm married, please don't bother me," Jiang Yiqing said calmly, taking a sip of her coffee.

Lu Yu, who had been hurt by Zhao Xiran's words, burst out laughing upon hearing this, saying, "Forget it. Even if you paid me, I wouldn't take you. You think you're so great just because you have some money? Zhao Xiran, let me tell you, you're no different from that puddle of mud on the ground. I was blind to have fallen for you. If I had to choose, I'd choose someone like Yi Qing. She's married and won't be fickle. Unlike you, with your reputation ruined, you have no self-awareness at all. Do you even deserve Yi Qing? You dare to talk such big words? It's hilarious."

Zhao Xiran's expression immediately turned very pleasant.

She acted spoiled, saying, "I'm a customer, I want coffee, hurry up and make it for me! Aren't you an employee here? Aren't customers always right?"

Lu Yu ignored her completely and turned away.

"Miss Zhao." Jiang Yiqing laughed when she saw this: "You didn't tell me that you brought me here to watch a play. Shouldn't I pay you a performance fee? After all, you've put in so much effort."

"Wow, Yiqing, I never knew you had such a sharp tongue." Zhao Xiran became curious upon hearing this: "I really didn't expect you to come with me. I'd like to ask, what made you make this decision?"

"Then we'll have to ask her." Jiang Yiqing turned her head to the other side.

Zhao Xiran was still wondering when she saw Shui Mingsheng walk in. His face looked even worse than hers, and his eyes were dark circles, like panda eyes, clearly showing signs of insomnia and haggardness.

"Yi Qing, why aren't you replying to my messages?" Shui Mingsheng asked.

“It’s not like we’re dating online, why do I have to reply to your messages? I already said I’ll be back this weekend,” Jiang Yiqing said.

"I can't eat if I don't see you for a day." Shui Mingsheng tried to soften her tone, but seeing her chatting leisurely with other women, a nameless jealousy rose in her heart: "You have a good appetite, huh? You still have time to chat with other people."

Zhao Xiran laughed so hard she almost died; she hadn't expected to be the only one in such a sorry state.

"Stay away from her." Shui Mingsheng said to Zhao Xiran, who was smirking, "Didn't you say you lived off-campus? Your schedules are different, and your personalities are completely opposite. What are you two doing together?"

“She and I are friends,” Zhao Xiran said.

“No, I disagree,” Shui Mingsheng said, glaring at Zhao Xiran.

Jiang Yiqing finished her coffee and decided to have a proper talk with Shui Mingsheng, so she stood up and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

Shui Mingsheng immediately stepped forward and grasped Jiang Yiqing's hand, holding it tighter and tighter, sniffing her all over, afraid that she might have picked up other women's perfume.

Jiang Yiqing said, "You're hurting my hand."

Shui Mingsheng's expression was momentarily confused, but he still relaxed his strength a little.
