"The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has resumed!!!"

"The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has resumed!"

"The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has resumed!!"

More and more people joined the celebrations, rejoicing in this joyous occasion.

Xia Lan looked at their smiles and returned to her counter.

"Xia Lan, are you unhappy?" Xu Li asked curiously, looking at Xia Lan's calm demeanor.

"What are you so happy about?" Xia Lan looked at Xu Li, who pointed outside. "The college entrance exam is being reinstated! Don't you want to study and get into university?"

"I'm fine! I'm already married." Xia Lan didn't show much emotion; she was still hesitating about whether to take the college entrance exam.

"Of course I'll participate!" Xu Li exclaimed excitedly. "What if I get accepted? Then I'll be a college student!"

"The government will guarantee you a job in the future! And you'll definitely be at the leadership level when you graduate," Xu Li said, pulling Xia Lan along and explaining to her.

Listening to Xu Li's endless chatter, Xia Lan felt lost.

"Brother Yu, did you hear the news today?" Xia Lan asked Qin Yu as soon as they got home.

"I heard, the college entrance examination has been reinstated." Qin Yu nodded.

"Are you going to take the college entrance exam?" Xia Lan asked.

"You want to take the exam?" Qin Yu turned to Xia Lan, who fell silent.

After a long pause, Xia Lan finally answered, "I don't know."

"With your education, I think you should take the college entrance exam and go to university." Qin Yu supported Xia Lan; if she wanted to go to university, he would support her.

"What are you hesitating about?" Qin Yu asked, looking at Xia Lan who was hesitating.

Xia Lan did not answer, because she opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

Qin Yu held Xia Lan and comforted her.

"You have me. If you want to go, I'll let you go. If you don't want to go, then continue working."

"Brother Yu, aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Hearing Qin Yu support her idea, Xia Lan chuckled and felt much better.

"If you dare to run, I'll break your legs." Qin Yu fiercely picked up Xia Lan and slammed her against the door.

He gently kissed Xia Lan's lips, punishing her by sucking them until they turned red.

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Xia Lan was not afraid at all. She hugged Qin Yu's shoulders and bit his Adam's apple in return.

"I don't know what the future holds, but right now I just want to devour you." Qin Yu's eyes narrowed dangerously, and Xia Lan quickly released his Adam's apple and rubbed it for him.

"It doesn't hurt! I didn't bite hard!" Xia Lan said guiltily.

"It's too late." Qin Yu kissed Xia Lan fiercely, yet with extreme tenderness. It seemed fierce, but he used the gentlest force.

Her breathing grew increasingly labored, and a rumbling sound of hunger came from Xia Lan's stomach. Xia Lan gave Qin Yu a pleading look.

"Brother Yu, I'm hungry."

"Wait here." Qin Yu glanced at Xia Lan, ruffled her hair, and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Xia Lan chuckled softly, smiling at her own stomach.

"Well done, I'll fill you up in a bit."

Xia Lan sat in her room, at her desk. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, the reform and opening up began.

When it comes to her future plans, Xia Lan hesitates between continuing her studies and pursuing a career.

In her past life, she was unable to complete her studies, which remained her regret.

However, after completing her studies, she would also be entering society. She had already experienced the harshness of society, and for the sake of her and Qin Yu's future, this was undoubtedly the best thing to do.

During the meal, Qin Yu noticed that Xia Lan still seemed preoccupied, and his eyes darkened.

Xia Lan lay on the bed, lost in thought. Qin Yu looked at her, even in her sleep, and his eyes grew even deeper.

"I was worried about you and wanted you to rest more, but it seems you don't want to!" Qin Yu flipped over and trapped Xia Lan beneath him, startling her.

"Xia Lan, is there anything you want to say to me?" Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan and asked earnestly.

Xia Lan was taken aback and looked at Qin Yu, seeing the seriousness in his eyes.

Xia Lan paused, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Qin Yu was also gambling on whether she would tell him her secret.

Qin Yu assumed that Xia Lan was preoccupied because of her secret, and he didn't want to see any expression on her face other than a smile or a coquettish one.

Especially the feeling of being depressed.

"Brother Yu, do you believe in the dead coming back to life?" Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu cautiously and asked.

Do you believe in... reincarnation?

Qin Yu frowned.

Xia Lan, in a fit of desperation, revealed to Qin Yu the secret that she came from the future.

Qin Yu couldn't understand what Xia Lan was saying. He found it unbelievable, yet he could also explain why Xia Lan seemed so unfamiliar, with a curious look in her eyes.

How could an ordinary person have such an expression?

There are too many inexplicable things about her, which Qin Yu has always chosen to ignore, but now what Xia Lan is saying...

He couldn't understand how someone could come from the past to the future.

She said she wasn't from this era, but from decades in the future, and she wasn't the original Xia Lan either; that Xia Lan had already left with her parents.

She was merely a strange soul that had entered her body.

How could Qin Yu believe this?

Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu nervously, while Qin Yu sat down opposite her expressionlessly.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Yu finally moved. He slowly got up, put on his shoes, and went out.

"Brother Yu?" Xia Lan exclaimed in surprise, watching Qin Yu walk out. "Where are you going?"

Qin Yu paused, but did not turn around.

"I'm going out for a walk to calm down."

Xia Lan watched Qin Yu's retreating figure, her eyes filled with tears.

Qin Yu leaned against the wall in the alley, his head slightly turned, cold and composed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, restrained and patient, his brows furrowed, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously.

He was pondering Xia Lan's words, calmly analyzing all the information she had given him. With Xia Lan watching him, he couldn't concentrate and think things through.

Qin Yu stood outside in the wind for a long time until he realized his feelings. He couldn't live without Xia Lan. From the moment she woke up, she was no longer the Xia Lan he knew.

The person he has been attracted to has always been Xia Lan.

Once he understood this, his wife was still his wife, so what was there to hesitate about? She was just a wife from the future.

Qin Yu had never been afraid of anything.

Qin Yu returned home in a huff, ready to continue what he had just left unfinished, only to find the bed already cold and empty, and Xia Lan had left sometime earlier.

Qin Yu's face darkened, and he immediately opened the cabinet next to him. All of Xia Lan's belongings were gone.

Damn it!

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, wishing he could slap himself. What was he hesitating for! Now he'd driven his wife away...

"Xia Lan!!!"

Calling out Xia Lan's name, Qin Yu rushed out.

Xia Lan, carrying her luggage, wandered aimlessly down the street.

The world is vast, yet she has no idea where she can go.

Looking up, I realized I had walked to the bus station for returning to the village...
