Chen Chang accidentally chose archaeology in college, and then directly got a master's degree based on his excellent grades.

Shen Yun underperformed in the college entrance examination and only got into an undergraduate program, attending an ordinary university in City S.

Her high school boyfriend did not break up with her because of this. Ren Yi did well in the college entrance examination and was admitted to University A. Even though he was busy with his studies and spent a lot of time in the laboratory later on, he still insisted on calling his girlfriend every day.

During the National Day holiday of his junior year, he and Shen Chang returned to S City together.

Shen Chang was not satisfied with his brother-in-law, but he always called him "Big Brother" with a grin!

Over time, he got used to being called that.

"Big brother, do you agree that we should get married after graduation?" Ren Yi asked bluntly at the dinner table.

Shen Yun wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She tugged at his sleeve, trying to stop the conversation.

Chen Chang's expression was indeed not good. "Hmph, I can't make that decision."

"Then let's wait for Uncle and Aunt to come back!" Ren Yi poured himself a glass of wine, downed it in one gulp, and patted his chest. "They'll definitely love me as their son-in-law! Hahahaha..."

Without saying much, he simply piled food into his bowl.

As a result, Ren Yi was the only one drinking beer at the dinner table, and he got completely drunk.

Shen Yun couldn't do anything with him. He helped him into the car and, seeing how uncomfortable he looked from the hangover, could only gently tap his head and scold him like a child: "You clearly can't drink, but you insisted on showing off. Now look what you've done, you've passed out after just two cans of beer! So embarrassing..."

"Um... Shen Yun, I was wrong..." he apologized tearfully, his dark eyelashes fluttering, clearly intending to act shamelessly.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yun immediately softened and changed the subject to comfort him.

Speechless, Chen Chang stepped on the gas, wanting only to get home as quickly as possible.

When Ren Yi woke up that night, he hugged Chen Yun's waist and wouldn't let her go, rubbing his face against her soft loungewear. "Don't go, you don't have to cook, stay with me for a while."

"Oh dear, I've been with you all afternoon," she said, sounding aggrieved. "You have no idea how difficult you are to please. Look, my hands are all bruised from holding you!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her slender hand, revealing a visibly bruised area on her wrist.

Ren Yi felt terrible and blew on it.

The two of them are no more than seven years old combined.

After dinner, someone started talking about high school classmates.

Over the past few years, I haven't made any deliberate inquiries about anyone. Occasionally, I'll think of someone, look out the window, and then let it go.

"What is Chen Wenzhi doing now?" Ren Yi suddenly asked.

Shen Yun shook his head. "I really didn't know. Aren't you friends with him? You should know better than I do..."

"You don't know, back in our senior year of high school, he just moved to a different city and disappeared like nothing happened!" Ren Yi was furious just thinking about it. He had promised to be a brother for life, but he just left without even saying goodbye.

"What about Sister Ying Qian?"

Ren Yi racked his brains for a moment, "Then I have even less to say! It seems she transferred schools in her senior year of high school too."

Chen Yun sighed and couldn't help but recall the past.

"Back then, Gu Xinan from Class 1 of the Arts Department almost got expelled because people were talking about Ying Qian getting into a fight!"

Shen Chang hadn't spoken until now, but after hearing what they said, he finally said, "Ying Qian and Chen Wenzhi are doing well now. They're both at Kyoto University and have both been recommended for postgraduate studies. As for that Gu student, when I met Ying Qian a few days ago, she said that she was studying at a university abroad and had been arguing with her family and didn't want to come back."

"I see." Shen Yun said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry too much about their relationship. They plan to get married when it's legal." Chen Chang said, chuckling softly. "They're practically becoming a model couple."

He was also happy to see them happy.

If Xi Yin were still alive, she should be like them now.

Ren Yi, resting his chin on his hand, couldn't eat anymore. He glanced slyly at Shen Yun and said, "Shouldn't we follow their example and get married as soon as possible?"

"Oh, what's the rush..." Shen Yun blushed when marriage was mentioned, perhaps still thinking of herself as a child.

But Ren Yi always understood her. He put his arm around Chen Yun's waist, his eyes full of affection, and rubbed her head against her head in a coquettish manner, his voice low and husky: "Then we won't rush. We'll get married whenever you want to."

"Um."

I also went to other places during the National Day holiday.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they happened to be there as the sun was rising. Ren Yi privately asked Shen Chang if she had anyone she liked, but she only gave Xi Yin as her answer.

Ren Yi sighed repeatedly and said earnestly, "You can't be trapped here forever and never get out, can you? If Xi Yin were alive, she certainly wouldn't want to see you like this."

He shook his head sadly, looked ahead, and as the sun rose above the horizon, he replied casually, "Walking alone for a lifetime is not a difficult thing."

In the end, he still couldn't let go.

"Perhaps you should try dating someone."

"unnecessary."
