After a week at the new school, An Moxue truly felt the students' eagerness to learn, and the teachers were also teaching very seriously.

The only bad thing was the school cafeteria. She ate there twice and then never went back. The food there was just boiled vegetables. When she got home, she told Aunt Ma, "Auntie, I'll come back to eat lunch here from now on. The food in the cafeteria is nowhere near as good as what you cook. I'll try to eat more of your cooking when I have time."

Aunt Ma felt very grateful to be needed and said, "It's okay if you're too busy to come back for meals at school sometimes. Just come back whenever you have time. If not, buy a bicycle; it will be more convenient to get around. This school is too big; it takes a lot of time to walk to class!"

"I'm thinking of that too! I'll go buy it on Sunday."

"Do you have a ticket? You need a ticket to buy this big item. If not, have your Uncle Ma try to get one."

"Yes," I replied, "I can just ask the local official for one, it's no big deal." "Auntie, you're amazing! You've only been here a short time, but I feel like you and Uncle Ma have already figured out everything about Kyoto."

Aunt Ma smiled confidently and said, "Don't you know what your uncle does? I was the one who organized the villagers to retreat up and down the mountain to avoid the Japanese search. I have some experience in understanding the terrain."

“Auntie, neither you nor Uncle Ma have told me about this, so I had no idea. Please tell me in detail.”

"What's there to say? It's all the same old stuff. When the Japanese came to raid and search the village, we hid things, we hid people, we tried every possible way to hide! In those years, so many people died, not just soldiers defending our country, but also ordinary people. Back then, human life was truly as cheap as grass. Life is so much better now. Every day we can see something to look forward to. As long as we work hard, life won't be bad." Aunt Ma revealed a sadness and relief that An Moxue couldn't quite decipher, along with hope and a sense of weightiness.

She was busy with her school courses while also learning the tasks her master had given her. Her life was fulfilling and peaceful, and she was also unusually relaxed. Days without tasks were practically like holidays, and she was relaxed and carefree every day.

It happened to be Sunday, so she slept in, got ready, and drove to Wu Sicheng's school.

As Wu Sicheng eagerly awaited his arrival at school, he glanced at his watch for the 109th time, drawing frequent stares from the students on guard at the gate. Did this person have some urgent matter to attend to? Why was he constantly checking his watch and looking towards the gate?

Finally, after Wu Sicheng checked his watch for the 158th time, An Moxue's jeep sped towards the school gate and came to a smooth stop in front of Wu Sicheng with a sudden stop. The students on duty couldn't help but think to themselves, "Beautiful!"

He glanced into the driver's seat and saw a bright and beautiful woman slowly roll down the window and say to the officer who kept checking his watch, "Get in the car, have you been waiting long?"

The man's demeanor changed instantly; his previous anxiety vanished, and he said gently and considerately, "No rush, as long as we arrive safely, it's fine if we're a little late. I'm taking the day off anyway."

Well! He said his attitude changed like two completely different people before and after, so he was waiting for such a beautiful woman!

The man whispered something in the woman's ear, which made her giggle. Then, the woman got out of the driver's seat and sat in the passenger seat, while the man got into the driver's seat, and the two drove away.

An Moxue asked curiously, "What did you do this morning? It's almost ten o'clock now."

Wu Sicheng gripped the steering wheel with one hand and held An Moxue's hand with the other, squeezing it contentedly in his palm: "Waiting for you! I came out right after breakfast and got ready, just so I could see you as soon as you arrived. How's this week? Nobody's causing you any trouble, right?"

An Moxue thought of that annoying little white lotus and said, "No, we're all busy studying! We don't have time to cause trouble, and we're not just looking for trouble."

"Sigh! When can you be by my side before I fall asleep, and next to me when I wake up?" Wu Sicheng's indirect proposal was truly something else, he kept saying that every now and then.

An Moxue scoffed, "Why don't you just wash up and go to sleep? That would be faster." She thought to herself, "Don't do that, man." Her will was unwavering.

Wu Sicheng asked, "Do you have anything to do today?"

"I want to get a bicycle so I can get to and from school faster. I don't care if it's new or old."

"Let's get a new one! Buy a 24-inch diagonal crossover; it's easy to ride, compact, and perfect for a girl. Do you have a bicycle ticket?"

No. Just get one.

"No need, let's go to the Overseas Chinese Store and buy one with our remittance coupons. They'll be even better looking than the ones made in China."

"You have coupons! Didn't we use them up last time?"

“My uncle must have one, let’s ask him for it. I’ll take you to find the pen holder later, let’s see if you still like it as much as you did when you were little.” Wu Sicheng said this with such confidence.

An Moxue leaned closer to look at him and asked, "Does your uncle, my master, know about this?"

Wu Sicheng asked in confusion, "I know! We've always gotten along like this. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

An Moxue waved her hand, "No, there's no problem at all." She seemed unwilling to say more.

Wu Sicheng didn't dwell on it, and instead asked about other things, "By the way, are you adjusting to suddenly having to pick up books again? Are you keeping up with your studies?"

"It's alright. I've been in a learning state all along, so I haven't had any trouble adjusting. On the contrary, I haven't felt this relaxed and comfortable for a long time, which is great. It's just that I've been away for too long, so I do feel a bit unfamiliar with things."

Wu Sicheng comforted him, "You'll get used to it in a few days."

How about you? How's your studies?

"That's how it is, training, academic classes, training again, I've gotten used to it. But I've noticed two people who are quite interesting. They're like fish in water during training, but when it comes to academic classes, it's like being bitten by a thousand ants, it's so uncomfortable. If they don't adapt quickly, they're going to suffer this year, how are they going to get through it!" Wu Sicheng said, finding it quite amusing to think about the two people's behavior in class.

An Moxue asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't like you?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that?"

"I'll go and be your backer, beat them up until they're completely submissive. How about that? Am I thoughtful?"

A sly glint flashed in Wu Sicheng's eyes. "Hmm, I'm so happy! How about you come next Sunday?"

An Moxue seemed surprised, "There really is someone who doesn't like you?"

Wu Sicheng pressed, "Didn't you say you'd come and back me up? Are you coming or not?"

An Moxue was a little excited. "Are there any tough ones?" These are all key trainees.

"Are you 100 people training together?"

"No, the other class is a civilian class, and their physical training and academic studies are different from ours." So, besides Wu Sicheng, there are forty-nine other people in that class. Surely half of them must be very good at fighting!

Aside from those who are resting or going out, there should be a few people left to keep you company and help you stretch your muscles!

Yes, it's possible!
