Xia Lan leaned gently against Qin Yu's shoulder, looking at his profile, and whispered, "I got into university... what will you do?"

"Didn't we talk about this before? I'll wait for you to come back here." Qin Yu held Xia Lan in his arms, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yu, I'll teach you to read. How about you take the college entrance exam next year?" Xia Lan leaned against Qin Yu, but Qin Yu remained silent in response.

Qin Yu looked down at Xia Lan in his arms. He had expected her to soar to great heights, but the thought of him taking the college entrance exam was...

"Wife, I'm afraid I'm not cut out for this and will disappoint you." Seeing Xia Lan's disappointed look, Qin Yu couldn't help but try to persuade her.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Xia Lan immediately looked up at Qin Yu, her eyes shining with an unprecedented light.

"Okay." Seeing that Xia Lan had said so, Qin Yu had no reason to refuse.

"Then I'll teach you now," Xia Lan said happily, pulling Qin Yu towards their room.

Xia Lan found the book that Master Du had left for Qin Yu, and began to teach Qin Yu in Master Du's place.

Under his wife's intimidation, Qin Yu obediently took out his notebook and began his academic journey that made even his scalp tingle.

Seven days later, the admission notice arrived at her workplace. The people at the department store were even happier than Xia Lan. They had never seen what an admission notice looked like before, and they looked at the notice as if it were a precious treasure.

They wouldn't touch it at all, and if they tried to touch it hard, they were afraid of accidentally tearing the book.

"This is the admission notice! Wow, Beijing University, so this is what an admission notice looks like."

"Hey, don't touch it, what if you break it..."

"This thing is very precious, we can't afford to break it."

"There's only one copy. If it gets damaged, Xia Lan won't be able to go to school."

"That's definitely not something you should touch."

Xu Li and the others were satisfied when they saw Xia Lan's admission notice.

They couldn't go to school themselves, but Xia Lan went to university, which meant that they were all going to university. They all regarded Xia Lan as their embodiment.

"Xia Lan, things might be different after you graduate from university..."

"I'll come back to work here again. You won't mind that I haven't worked for three years, will you?" Xia Lan said humorously.

"Who would dare to look down on you! Haha!"

Everyone laughed, knowing that Xia Lan's status would definitely be different when she returned.

We'll see who complains about whom by then!

It's possible that Xia Lan doesn't even want to talk to them anymore.

Xia Lan looked at everyone with a smile. "I've been very happy working with you all. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Oh, why are you being so polite all of a sudden? It makes me feel really awkward!"

"That's right, everyone's here to work, don't be like that!"

"It almost made me cry..."

Everyone looked at Xia Lan, their eyes reddening.

The group hadn't worked together for very long, but Xia Lan had already caused quite a bit of trouble. At first, the group wasn't very optimistic about her, but after getting to know her better, they realized that Xia Lan's personality was actually quite good.

He has a temper and his own opinions, but he is also polite and speaks without arrogance.

Unlike Zhao Li, who is always self-righteous and looks down on others.

Xia Lan is a person who knows how to get along with others and speaks kindly, never making anyone feel embarrassed.

People like this are easy to get along with.

Sister Yang patted Xia Lan on the shoulder. "Come back and visit us sometime, and don't forget us. Be careful out there on your own, and don't trust just anyone."

"I will."

Xia Lan looked at the crowd in the department store and said earnestly.

As Minister Yang walked into the office with the admission notice in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Xia Lan, who was just a village woman a few months ago, has now been admitted to university. Once she graduates, her future is limitless.

Xia Lan looked at Minister Yang in front of her. He was a benefactor to her. If it weren't for him giving her a chance to stay in the city, she might still be in Shanghe Village.

"I didn't expect you to be going to university already. I still remember, it was you who put me in the eye of the storm."

Minister Yang spoke slowly, looking at Xia Lan in front of him, and said with emotion.

Xia Lan looked at Minister Yang and smiled. "You told me to name my terms, so of course I'll name my terms that are in my own best interest."

Aren't you afraid I'll reject you?

Seeing Xia Lan's confidence, Minister Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, we can always offer different terms!" Xia Lan smiled playfully.

"I said it just to give it a try. It would be great if you agreed, but if you don't, I won't lose anything!"

"Little fox, you've really got me wrapped around your little finger."

Minister Yang laughed heartily; he was truly at Xia Lan's mercy.

However, he was indeed anxious at the time, and if Xia Lan could really help him recover his losses, that would be a good thing.

However, he underestimated the seemingly weak person in front of him. He thought that as long as he could make up for the loss, that would be fine. He didn't expect her to give him a huge surprise.

Now he can speak confidently and openly, and no longer needs to be looked down upon for not having good performance.

"You are my benefactor," Minister Yang said with a smile, looking at Xia Lan.

"We complement each other and achieve win-win cooperation," Xia Lan said with a smile.

"I wish you a bright future." Minister Yang stood up, extended his hand, and looked at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan extended her hand and shook hands with Minister Yang.

"Wishing you a speedy promotion."

Xia Lan returned home with her acceptance letter, but when she saw the registration period on it, the smile on her face vanished.

School starts in early March, and it's January now, which means she has two more months to spend with Qin Yu.

When Qin Yu got home from get off work, he found Xia Lan sitting at the door, waiting for him.

"Why are you sitting by the door?" Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan and picked her up from the ground.

"I wanted to see you as soon as possible." Xia Lan smiled and hugged Qin Yu's neck, gently kissing his Adam's apple.

"..." Qin Yu's eyes were dark as he glanced down at Xia Lan. "You start a fire as soon as you get home? Do you want to go hungry again?"

"...No, I was wrong, I'll be good." Xia Lan stiffened and quickly admitted her mistake; she had just thought his neck looked easy to bite...

Recalling how he had taken her all night, leaving her hungry, she never wanted to experience that ordeal again.

"Then don't provoke me." Qin Yu bit Xia Lan's neck as punishment, then lightly pecked her lips before releasing her with satisfaction.

Xia Lan obediently took two steps back, not wanting to provoke this perpetually insatiable man; he was too terrifying.

"Brother Yu, is there anyone in the transport team who doesn't respect you?" Xia Lan asked curiously, looking at the man who was cooking.

He never tells her about his work troubles. The first thing he does when he gets home is always to cook for her because he's worried she might be hungry.
