Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran's trip to Beijing was very rushed, and they were busy with their own things. Soon it was time for them to return.
The two elders of the Cheng family went to the train station to see them off, along with Guo Xueyun.
The station was bustling with people, many carrying large and small bags, unsure of where they were headed.
“This is what Mom prepared for you. Take it all back to the army. It has food, clothes and other necessities. If you need more, Mom will send you more.”
Cheng Ran was given two large packages, both of which were packed by his mother.
"There's too much, it's inconvenient. You can take some back with you."
Bringing so much stuff back to the army would not only be conspicuous, but also get in the way on the road. Moreover, Cheng Ran had no shortage of food, clothing and other necessities in the family compound, so he felt it was unnecessary.
"If you don't want it, you have to consider Wanqing's feelings. How can that young girl live like you, barely surviving? Take it!"
Seeing that he wouldn't take it, Cheng's mother had no choice but to use Jiang Wanqing as an excuse to force him to accept it. At this moment, Guo Xueyun spoke up in a sarcastic tone from the side.
"Yes, Cheng Ran, look at what Comrade Wanqing is wearing from head to toe. She's all very fashionable and uses good things. She definitely won't be able to endure hardship with you. You should try to please her and take care of her for now, after all, you're newlyweds."
These words were nothing short of provocation. Guo Xueyun thought herself clever, but Jiang Wanqing was no pushover either. She took the package and smiled brightly.
"Thank you. I am indeed not as good at enduring hardship as Comrade Xueyun. She swallows all the pain in her heart, but at least I have someone to help me improve my life's hardships. Thank you all."
"you……"
Guo Xueyun's face flushed with anger. She knew that Jiang Wanqing was using words to stab her, implying that her eagerness to get what she wanted had no future.
However, she quickly calmed down, arrogantly raised her chin, and took a breath.
Having learned her lesson after being rendered speechless by Jiang Wanqing a few times, she quickly retorted.
“I am indeed different from Comrade Wanqing. You will have a lot of hardships ahead of you, while I have a career and a family, and I won’t suffer much in this life. As for feelings…” She looked at Cheng Ran: “There will be a result someday!”
Cheng Ran didn't even look at her, only holding Jiang Wanqing's shoulders.
"It's time to get on the bus."
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Guo Xueyun's eyes darted around, and she suddenly grabbed Jiang Wanqing's arm, a fake smile on her face.
"Is there anything else?" Cheng Ran pushed away her hand that was resting on Jiang Wanqing's: "Don't waste time."
"Well... Comrade Wanqing is taking the college entrance exam, and the results will be out soon. If she gets in, she should start school in the spring. If she really gets into Huada University, then we're destined to meet. I'd like to share a few words of advice with her."
"OK."
Jiang Wanqing readily agreed and walked aside with her. The other woman leaned close to her ear, immediately changing her tune, and whispered, "Don't even think about it. You'll never get into Huada University in your life! As long as I'm here!"
She shifted her shoulders, and Guo Xueyun, thinking she was about to turn around and complain, immediately stopped her and continued talking.
"Do you think that just because you're a little clever, people will believe you have the ability to get into Tsinghua University? You're just incredibly lucky. Even if you shout it out loud now, it won't change anything. This isn't a curse, it's not a prophecy, it's absolute certainty!"
"Really? Then let's wait and see in the spring."
Jiang Wanqing patted the dust off his shoulder and smiled as she increased the pressure.
"I'm waiting to see you make a fool of yourself! When that happens, you should realize you're not good enough for Cheng Ran and get out of here!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You were quite calm just now, Comrade Xueyun. We have a long time ahead of us."
After she finished speaking, she returned to Cheng Ran's side, and the two boarded the train together. Cheng's father waved to them.
"Write to us often after you return home. We will come to visit you after the New Year!"
Cheng Ran simply nodded, and after getting on the bus, he quickly found his and Jiang Wanqing's seats and sat down.
The bus was full of strangers, and Jiang Wanqing was pushed closer to Cheng Ran.
He used his hand to help her separate the two inches.
What did Guo Xueyun say to you?
"She said she looked forward to me getting into the University of Washington," she joked.
Disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head: "She's not that kind."
“You’re right, she really didn’t mean it that way. She told me that you didn’t believe I could get into Huada University, and she also said…” She hooked her hand around Cheng Ran’s sleeve: “We will break up sooner or later because we are not a good match.”
Cheng Ran immediately became angry: "I warned her!"
She patted his arm reassuringly: "Don't be angry. Do you think I'm the type to suffer a loss? I've already returned the favor."
“You should tell her that even if we are not a good match, it is because I am not good enough for you. Getting into Hua University is just a step in your journey. You have a long road ahead of you.”
"Oh? You trust me that much?"
"letter."
Jiang Wanqing originally just wanted to tease him, but he had a serious face from the moment he got in the car, and now he looked even more determined and serious. She froze.
"Excuse me, could you please move over there? I need to put my luggage down."
A man in a wool suit was carrying a suitcase and putting his luggage on the luggage rack. He kindly reminded Jiang Wanqing that she might bump into something.
She moved aside, and the man put his luggage down and sat down opposite them. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, folded it, and put it back in his pocket.
Cheng Ran, a rough man, couldn't stand such a meticulous man and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"Bad habits".
The other person seemed to have heard her, looked up, and Jiang Wanqing quickly nudged his arm.
The man wasn't angry; he just smiled and smoothed the hem of his clothes.
"This comrade must be finding fault with me because I'm a man. If it were the woman next to you doing this, you certainly wouldn't find it strange. But everyone has the right to be clean, and of course, you also have the right to scrutinize me. As long as you don't do that to me, hahaha..."
Jiang Wanqing was amused by him. Not only did this person think differently from ordinary people, but he was also humorous.
“You’re right. We’ve been in Beijing for a few days and met many different people. My husband was just surprised; he didn’t mean anything by it. Please don’t take offense.”
"It was my fault, I apologize."
Cheng Ran didn't want Jiang Wanqing to apologize to someone else for her sake and immediately admit her mistake, so the person waved his hand.
"It's okay. You're not the first person to look at us like this, and you won't be the last. Actually, I had a serious illness when I was a child, and the doctor told me to be careful not to get infected by bacteria and germs, so I developed this strange habit."
"Alright, alright, those words should make Cheng Ran feel guilty for a while," he said, his lips twitching slightly in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry." This time, it was more sincere.
"It's alright. You two don't seem like bad people. Are you here in Beijing to visit relatives?"
"Um."
Jiang Wanqing responded but didn't say anything else. Seeing that she didn't intend to talk in detail, the other person wisely shut up.
He remained quiet until the train started moving out of the Beijing area...
