After the successful proposal, the couple's wedding was put on the agenda. It took a lot of manpower and resources, and finally, before the start of the school year, the two officially entered the hall of marriage.

Life after marriage was no different from before, the only difference being that Jiang Xile moved from the Jiang family's courtyard house to Liu Ziming's courtyard house.

This courtyard house was specially prepared by Liu Ziming as their wedding home, and of course, the house was registered under Jiang Xile's name.

The Liu family has five sons. After Liu Ziming got married, the family officially separated, and the elderly couple lived on their own. The younger generation could come back to get together during festivals.

Today is the first day of school. The young couple, who have only been married for half a month, are already facing separation, but there's nothing they can do about it.

Jiang Xile is going to do military training and needs to stay at school, while Liu Ziming's research institute has started a new project, and he won't be back for at least two or three months.

At that time, there were no single rooms, double rooms, or even four-person rooms in university dormitories. Each dormitory room had at least eight people, and larger rooms housed about ten people.

Jiang Xile was quite lucky; she was assigned to a small eight-person room. After helping Jiang Xile pack her things, Liu Ziming reluctantly left.

The research institute's car had been waiting for a long time outside the school gate.

"Lele, I'm leaving. If you need anything, call the research institute. Take care of yourself, eat well, and if you don't want to live alone during the holidays, go back to Dad's place."

"I understand. Don't worry. Take good care of yourself at the research institute. Don't forget to eat when you get busy!"

Liu Ziming smiled, clearly appreciating his wife's concern and instructions. However, no matter how reluctant he was, it was time to leave.

As the car started, Jiang Xile's figure shrank continuously until it disappeared from sight, at which point Liu Ziming withdrew his gaze.

When she returned to the dormitory, there were already quite a few people there, all busy packing their things. When they saw Jiang Xile come in, they all greeted her with smiles.

People at this time are mostly very simple and honest. In less than an hour, the few people in the dormitory had become quite familiar with each other.

Each bed had its owner's name on it, and the location was easy to identify. Jiang Xile had once again chosen finance as her major.

There was no way around it; having been an orphan in her past life, making money had become her obsession.

Although she has never lacked money in this life, for a money-grubber, no one would complain about having too much money.

What surprised Jiang Xile during the two-week military training was that one of the instructors was Xiao Chengyi.

It's been so long since we last met. Seeing each other again feels like a lifetime has passed.

During a break, Xiao Chengyi came over. Jiang Xile understood his intention, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then revealed that she was married.

Seeing the surprise and disappointment in Xiao Chengyi's eyes, Jiang Xile could only silently apologize in her heart.

When the military training ended, Xiao Chengyi came to see Jiang Xile again. This time, it should be considered a complete farewell. Jiang Xile could tell that Xiao Chengyi had completely let go.

Beijing University is both large and small. In the bustling cafeteria, with so many people, Jiang Xile never expected that she would run into Ye Haochen after just seeing Xiao Chengyi off.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to get into this school too. How is Grandpa He's health?"

"My grandfather returned to Suzhou to recuperate. I originally wanted to write to you about it, but something unexpected happened and I was delayed. I didn't expect that you would also choose Peking University."

"It's close to home, and it's one of the top universities in the country, so choosing this place is perfectly normal!"

"Yes, but I still don't know what major you chose?"

"Me? Of course, it's finance. By the way, how are Uncle Zhao and the others? Have they all returned to the city?"

"I was right! You really do like finance!"

"I don't like finance, I like making money!"

"Hehe, if Uncle Zhao hears you say that, who knows how he'll criticize you!"

"It's a real shame he's not here right now!"

"You really haven't changed at all, you're no different from before."

"No way, no one stays the same all the time. By the way, you should continue studying physics!"

"Yes, the teacher has been exonerated and has been appointed as a visiting professor at Beijing University."

"Really? What about Uncle Zhao? Did he come to the capital too? That's so inconsiderate of him, he didn't even tell me!"

"I came back in a hurry and didn't have time to write to you. My teacher and Uncle Zhao guessed that you were going to apply to Peking University and said they had a surprise for you."

"This is more of a shock than a surprise! Where are they living now? In the staff dormitory?"

Ye Haochen nodded.

"If you want to see them, I can show you the way."

Jiang Xile hesitated for a moment, then said:

“Let’s wait a few days. My husband is away on a business trip and can’t come back right now. When he comes back, I’ll take him to see Uncle Yuan and Uncle Zhao.”

"Your husband? You're married?"

Ye Haochen's eyes widened involuntarily, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.

He hadn't expected Jiang Xile to get married; he thought there was still time...

"Of course I'm getting married! I'm not getting any younger, I need to think about settling down! How about you? Have you found someone you like?"

Ye Haochen looked at Jiang Xile, opened his mouth, and then sighed softly. In the end, she would not choose him.

Feeling an indescribable sense of loneliness and sadness, Ye Haochen's face turned ashen. Seeing this, Jiang Xile stopped talking and made an excuse to leave.

School days were still fulfilling. After so many years of suppression, everyone cherished the opportunity to learn again and worked extra hard.

Everywhere you look in the school, you can see students reading books, and everyone is working hard for their future.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Xile finally managed to find time to go home for the May Day holiday.

Coincidentally, Liu Ziming's research project had also completed its first phase, so he could come back and rest for a few days.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the young couple spent two days together before visiting Jiang Yanshu and Liu Hongyi.

Finally, on the day before returning to the lab, Jiang Xile took Liu Ziming to visit Yuan Delong and Zhao Shanhai.

Of the group from the cowshed, only the two of them remained in the capital. Having met and shared a mentor-student relationship, Jiang Xile naturally wanted to pay them a visit.

Unsurprisingly, Ye Haochen was encountered again by Yuan Delong.

Even though Ye Haochen had tried his best to convince himself to let go of his feelings for Jiang Xile, it was not something he could simply let go of.

When it comes to identifying rivals, Liu Ziming is like a radar; he can guess their identities just by looking at their face.

He secretly held onto his wife tightly, constantly making little moves and trying to show off their affection in front of Ye Haochen, making Jiang Xile feel a little embarrassed.

They didn't stay with Yuan Delong for long before hurriedly pulling Liu Ziming away.
