Chapter 247, Section 246: Beautiful Thoughts
September 20th, sunny.
The three-week military training has finally come to an end.
Unlike other universities, during these 22 days, freshmen not only need to undergo regular military training such as boxing and marching, but also learn military theory, complete a 3-kilometer orienteering course and a 20-kilometer night march, as well as live-fire shooting, which many people are eager for.
In addition, there are various fire prevention, counter-terrorism and riot control drills, as well as biochemical knowledge such as how to use gas masks.
Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh, Tsinghua University truly deserves its reputation as a top university in China. Such a high-level military training exercise is designed to cultivate the most outstanding students.
After completing the military training performance at the East University playground in the morning, Jiang Xia returned to her dormitory and felt a little uneasy about not having military training again.
However, this thought only flashed through my mind. It would be wonderful if I didn't have to do more than ten hours of military training every day.
After taking a nice, relaxing shower and changing into clean, fresh clothes, he looked in the mirror and noticed that he seemed to have gotten a shade darker. His originally fair skin had turned into a healthier wheat color, and he stood tall and straight, exuding a resolute and strong aura.
Overall, Jiang Xia was very satisfied with the results of this military training.
“Mom, starting tomorrow, I’ll go to exercise with you.”
Su Qing dried her buzz cut with a towel, looked herself up and down, and couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, you've actually come to terms with it?"
"We can't let the habits we've worked so hard to develop be ruined once military training is over, can we?"
"That makes sense. Okay, I'll wake you up at 5:30 tomorrow morning."
Jiang Xia nodded. After getting used to the intensity of military training, getting up early was nothing to him.
"Aunt Su, I need to go out for a bit."
Where to?
"Now that military training is over, we should get our studio sorted out, right? It should be in the next few days. I'll take you to see what our company is like then," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Okay, go ahead."
Su Qing still admired Jiang Xia. He was decisive and had excellent professional skills. Even in Tsinghua University, a place full of experts, he was definitely one of the best.
A few minutes later, Lin Yanwan called him: "Are you done?"
"Okay, I'll be right down."
"I'll be waiting for you downstairs."
As he left the dormitory building, he saw Lin Yanwan sitting on a bench in front of the gate, wearing a light green dress. The bicycle she had bought earlier was parked in front of her, and a boy wearing glasses was standing next to her, trying to get close to her.
He sighed slightly. Sometimes, having a wife who is too outstanding can be a troublesome thing. This kind of situation always happens and can't be completely avoided.
At this moment, Lin Yanwan glanced at the dormitory entrance and saw Jiang Xia come out. A smile unconsciously appeared on her face. The boy with glasses was delighted, thinking that this junior had agreed to his request.
"I'm sorry, senior, I can't give you my phone number, and I already have a boyfriend."
The boy was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say much. He just felt a little regretful. How could such a pretty junior girl have a boyfriend? Those bastards really acted fast.
"Baby, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
A gentle voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw a handsome boy with short hair walking over. Judging from his appearance, he should be a freshman who had just finished military training.
Jiang Xia carefully examined her outfit today. For the past few days, she had been wearing a military uniform that had sealed her good looks every day. Now, she had changed into a light green long dress and white sneakers, which gave him a refreshing feeling.
Ah, no wonder she's his beloved wife, she's so beautiful!
"You look so much darker now, but a tan looks good too." Lin Yanwan raised her hand and poked his cheek, unable to help but laugh.
Jiang Xia said helplessly, "How can I not get tanned when I'm exposed to such a strong sun every day? I'll probably be able to go back to my original fair color by winter."
“But I’ve gotten darker too,” Lin Yanwan said.
Even if you apply sunscreen every day, you still can't beat the scorching sun.
"It's not dark, it looks good."
Jiang Xia chuckled and said, "Let's go."
"Um."
He steadied the bicycle and sat down. Lin Yanwan nodded, took the file bag, reached out and hugged his waist, and slowly sat on the back seat.
The two rode away slowly, never once glancing at the boy, which made him feel very hurt.
This feeling of being ignored is even more painful than being rejected.
What did he just say?
"They wanted my phone number, but I didn't give it to them."
Lin Yanwan said with a smile, closing her eyes and gently pressing against Jiang Xia's back, enjoying the warmth of the moment.
"Next time you run into someone like that, just tell them you're already married." He snorted twice, otherwise he felt really annoyed that his wife was always being targeted by others.
"What if they ask who my husband is..."
“Of course it’s me!” Jiang Xia said without hesitation. “Strictly speaking, we’re not divorced yet.”
Lin Yanwan chuckled softly, and upon careful consideration, she realized that it was indeed true. Not to mention that they hadn't signed the divorce agreement yet, even if they had, they would still need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain the divorce certificate to be officially considered divorced.
But those are things from the past, and have nothing to do with the present.
"You silly goose, what do you think would happen if the rescue team dug up our bodies?"
"I reckon it'll dominate the front page of every news outlet that day, and everyone at the scene will be moved to tears. It might even make it into that year's college entrance exam reading comprehension section," Jiang Xia said seriously after thinking for a moment.
"Why?"
"Think about it, a husband sacrificed himself to protect his wife during an earthquake, and they both perished. There's nothing more touching than that, isn't there?"
"What if, after all that publicity, they find the divorce papers not far away?" Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
"Uh... wouldn't that be even more meaningful? Even if the relationship breaks down, when danger comes, the husband still loves his wife. This shows that love is selfless, great, and doesn't ask for anything in return."
I think that's how it should be.
"Um?"
Lin Yanwan said with a smile, "This man is so vicious. When the earthquake came, he would rather die with his wife than let her leave."
With a screech of brakes, Lin Yanwan cried out "Ouch!" as she landed heavily on Jiang Xia's back.
Jiang Xia was speechless. He thought about the possibility carefully and realized that those unscrupulous media outlets were capable of doing such disgusting things for the sake of traffic.
First, they lavishly praise a touching love story, then they reverse the narrative and hype it up, dragging him out to be criticized, and add in many boxing champions who promote gender antagonism—and the hype and traffic are generated.
I bet even the comments section is full of comments like, "This is terrifying, another day of fear of marriage," and "Speechless, folks, this kind of man is such a jerk."
"Baby, you've shattered all my beautiful dreams!!!" Jiang Xia cried out in anguish.
"Isn't the beautiful thought in your heart me?"
Lin Yanwan hugged his waist tightly.
