Song Mingyuan's plan to spend some time alone with his partner fell through, and the smile on his face froze.

"Then I'll just have to go home and surprise my parents. To be honest, they don't even know I'm coming back today!"

"You're really something, kid. You didn't even tell them you were coming back with something this big. Be careful you don't get a beating when you get back," Su Chenhao joked.

Song Mingyuan threw a punch at his chest, which was easily dodged. Unconvinced, he threw another punch, which was also dodged.

"You're pretty good!"

"It's nothing. I'll teach you a few self-defense moves when I have time."

"Yes, I'll definitely learn from you when I have time."

Su Chenhao didn't reply, picked up the teapot and filled their teacups.

Inside the house.

The two women, exhausted from their playful antics, lay on the bed in the exact same position, their heads resting together.

"Nizi, is it okay for you to get married so early?" Zhou Meiling asked, turning her head slightly to the side.

"For me, getting married this early isn't early at all," Qiao Xiaoni remarked with emotion. She had once thought she would be single forever. She never imagined that in this second life, she would find someone who treats her well so quickly. It's as if fate played a cruel joke on her.

Zhou Meiling rolled over and lay face down on the bed: "Thinking about it, if two people could be together every day, it would actually be pretty good. It's just that this dream is too difficult for me to realize." She couldn't help but laugh, thinking of her mother's words to her before she left: "My mom talked to me all night before she left. Do you know what she said to me?"

"I think I've pretty much figured it out. I'm telling you to keep a clean record and not do anything out of line before you graduate from university." Qiao Xiaoni sat up.

Zhou Meiling was surprised and sat up, putting her arm around her shoulder: "Tell me quickly, how did you guess it?"

Qiao Xiaoni casually pinched her nose: "I've been there! When I was about to go to university last year, my mom talked to me about this all night."

"Ah! So that's how it is!" Zhou Meiling, realizing the stirring thoughts in her heart, couldn't help but ask, "Have you two been together all this time?"

"No, to be precise, it's just that the last step wasn't done." Qiao Xiaoni looked Zhou Meiling up and down: "What do you mean by asking me that? Could it be that you want to live outside with him?"

"How should I put it? I have a slight idea. It's just that I can't do anything, so if we live together, he'll have to cook and I'll have to eat. That seems unfair to him, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to stand me after a while and will break up with me." Zhou Meiling expressed her concerns. After spending these few dozen days together, she realized her shortcomings.

"He's not that kind of person, because his eyes are full of love when he looks at you. However, it's best if the two of you don't live together too early, it will affect your studies."

It would be better to consider this issue closer to graduation.

"I'll listen to you, whatever you say is right." Zhou Meiling turned over and lay on her back again.

Qiao Xiaoni laughed: "Don't give me such great trust. What if I want to sell you off one day? Will you be able to find a place to reason with me then?"

Zhou Meiling casually put her arm around her waist: "If you want to sell, go ahead and sell. I absolutely won't object."

"Stop being cheeky, let's get down to business. You're going to sleep with me these next few nights."

"Yes, ma'am!" Zhou Meiling threw off the covers and crawled into bed. She was exhausted from a day's journey and just wanted to sleep as soon as she lay down.

Qiao Xiaoni noticed that Zhou Meiling's words had become sharper than before, and she couldn't quite win the argument.
