Xia Ruokui came out and the three of them left the school together.

The three of them found a state-owned restaurant near the school and had dinner together.

After dinner, Li Zhao wanted to go back first.

"I still have some things to do here, so I won't stay with you two any longer. I'll drive away, so how are you going to get back?" Li Zhao looked at Han Chengwu.

"I'll take the bus back tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first."

Li Zhao drove back.

Han Chengwu and Xia Ruokui wandered around the school and finally rented a house with a small courtyard not far from the school.

"This house has neighbors on both sides. I made a point of checking them out."

"On the left is a family of four, a couple with two children, both of whom are in elementary school. The husband and wife work in a textile factory and a steel factory respectively, both with stable jobs."

"On the right is an elderly couple. They usually live alone, and their children come back to see them occasionally."

Han Chengwu got to know the other residents in this alley and found that they were all relatively stable residents.

The house they rented was a place where the elderly man was going to live with his son in his old age.

Only then did Han Chengwu feel relieved to help Xia Ruokui rent the house.

Xia Ruokui was a student at the provincial university, and Han Chengwu was an officer. Both of them had suitable identities, so the house rental process went very quickly.

When the elderly moved out, the commonly used furniture in the house was left behind. As long as some daily necessities are added, the house can be lived in at any time.

"I'll stay here tonight. Knowing that I'm sending you off, our team leader gave me two days off."

"Let's go buy some things in the afternoon and clean up this place." Xia Ruokui said.

Han Chengwu nodded, "Okay."

The two of them walked around the house, identified some of the things they needed, made a list, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

He bought some at the supply and marketing cooperative, but there were still some that the cooperative didn't have. Han Chengwu planned to go to the black market later.

After dinner, Han Chengwu asked Xia Ruokui to go back to the dormitory.

When he lived here, Xia Ruokui also lived here, which was not very good. After all, they were not married yet, and Han Chengwu still had some sense of propriety.

Although he really wanted to live with the little girl...

I sent Xia Ruokui to the dormitory building and watched her go upstairs.

Han Chengwu went straight to the black market and bought everything else he needed.

When Xia Ruokui returned to the dormitory, several other people in the dormitory had also arrived. She introduced herself to everyone and they got to know each other.

In the dormitory, Xia Ruokui is the youngest.

Li Xiaoxue and Zhang Moli are the same age as her, and two of them have already given birth to children. They were educated youth in the countryside and moved to the city through this exam.

Of the other three, two were admitted from factories, and one used to work in a government agency.

Everyone seemed quite polite and courteous. We chatted briefly and got to know each other better.

It is actually quite easy to establish friendship among girls.

The older ones automatically and consciously took on the role of the eldest sister.

Xia Ruokui has always been the older sister in the family, and suddenly she became the youngest. She was a little uncomfortable, but it felt good.

The night is like water.

Xia Ruokui lay in bed, feeling a little homesick and also a little bit missing Han Chengwu.

Although she knew that Han Chengwu lived not far from her, it was magical that when people suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, they would instinctively miss the people they liked, were familiar with, and were attached to.

Han Chengwu had just returned from the black market and had already bought everything he needed.

He didn't sleep much at night and cleaned the yard thoroughly inside and out.

There is a piece of land behind the yard where you can grow some vegetables.

Han Chengwu knew that Xia Ruokui would be very busy at school and had no time, but he had time, so after the New Year, he came over to turn the fields.

Han Chengwu felt that the courtyard wall was a bit low. He still had some time off tomorrow, so he would see if he could buy some bricks to make the wall higher. That way he would feel more at ease.

Han Chengwu was making plans in his mind and fell asleep soon after.

The next morning came in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Xia Ruokui went downstairs, she saw Han Chengwu waiting downstairs in the dormitory.

She smiled brightly, greeted her roommate, and walked towards Han Chengwu.

"Brother Han, why are you here so early?"

"I can't sleep for no reason. I usually go for a morning run, and I'll come to see you after I finish running."

"Let's go to the cafeteria and have breakfast together."

"good."

As they talked, they walked towards the cafeteria side by side.

Just walked to the cafeteria door.

"Ruo Kui." A clear male voice sounded.

Han Chengwu frowned slightly.

Xia Ruokui turned around.

Ou Jing rushed over at a trot.

"It really is you. From a distance, you look just like you. Are you also attending university here? I remember you weren't old enough to take the college entrance exam yet?"

"I studied ahead of time, tried to take the test, and then I passed." Xia Ruokui said, "Are you studying here too?"

Ou Jing nodded.

"Yes, I also go to school here. My hometown is here. My family doesn't want me to go too far away, so they asked me to apply to a local university."

Han Chengwu frowned and looked at Ou Jing.

"Brother Han, are you here to see Ruo Kui off?"

"I'm here to see Ruo Kui off. I'll stay here with her for two days before going back."

"Don't worry, I will take care of Ruo Kui from now on. I promise to take good care of her."

"No need. I will come and accompany Ruokui during my weekends." Han Chengwu said.

"This is too much trouble for you." Ou Jing followed.

"Don't worry about it. I'm here. If Rukui needs anything, you can come to me."

Xia Ruokui looked at Ou Jing and then at Han Chengwu. She could feel that Han Chengwu was angry.

Xia Ruokui blinked and spoke softly, "Brother Han and I are dating, and we usually go on dates. If there's anything, I'll just go find him. I don't think I'll need you."

"Dating? You two are dating!" Ou Jing was shocked. He stared at Xia Ruokui and then at Han Chengwu with wide eyes.

"He's already old, Ruo Kui..."

"What nonsense! My brother Han is now at the right age and in good health."

Xia Ruokui finished speaking, "Brother Han, let's go and have dinner."

Han Chengwu raised his chin proudly, glanced at Ou Jing, and followed Xia Ruokui's small footsteps. The two of them entered the cafeteria first.

Ou Jing stood there, feeling like the sky had fallen on him.

When he first saw Xia Ruokui, he thought how nice it would be if such a pretty girl could be his wife in the future.

So he often chatted with Xia Ruokui, and he was also by her side when she practiced. He thought that they had very beautiful childhood memories.

As a result, when we met again, she was already someone else's boyfriend. It makes me sad to think about it.

Ou Jing's heart was broken.
