Around 10:30, Ji Wanqiu took Xiaoman home and bought a watermelon that was just the right size for the four of them.
Since the two had just done something wrong, they were too embarrassed to stay in the room any longer, so they sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
"Brother Jiang Xia, I bought you ice cream," Xiao Man said earnestly, sucking her fingers.
"So, where's my ice cream?"
"I was worried the ice cream would melt too quickly, so I kindly ate it for you. It was really delicious!"
“…Thank you.” Jiang Xia sighed and pulled at his face. Xiao Man was so cute and quirky that it was impossible to get angry with her.
"Sister, I bought you ice cream too~"
Lin Yanwan looked at her empty little hands: "So, you were worried that the ice cream would melt too quickly, so you kindly ate it for me, right?"
"No, that's not true. Mom said that eating too much ice cream would make your tummy hurt, so she took pity on you and ate it all for you, saying she'd buy you some next time."
"..."
The two women looked at each other helplessly. As expected of mother and daughter, they knew how to help each other.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaoman secretly approached her sister and asked mysteriously, "Sister, did you and your brother-in-law have a good time during this time of just the two of you?"
Lin Yanwan pouted, happy?
That guy seemed to be enjoying it; I've never seen him produce so much before.
"Final exams are coming up soon, have you finished reviewing everything? Kids shouldn't meddle in adults' business, otherwise, I'll have Teacher Xia give you lots more summer homework!" she threatened, raising her fist.
"Waaaaah, sister, no! Xiaoman was wrong! Xiaoman will definitely help you and brother-in-law get together! QAQ"
"You said it!" Lin Yanwan solemnly extended her little finger, "Pinky promise, to hang yourself..."
"One hundred years, no change allowed!"

My mother-in-law made a delicious stir-fried pork dish for lunch, but Xiaoman thought it was too spicy, so she ate a lot of light steamed egg custard instead.
"I'm going to the factory this afternoon. Could you two help keep an eye on Xiaoman?" Ji Wanqiu looked up at the two of them.
Jiang Xia scooped a spoonful of steamed egg custard into Xiaoman's rice and said, "Aunt Ji, you can go about your business. I will take good care of Xiaoman, so don't worry."
"In the afternoon, let Xiaoman take a nap. It's hot outside, so don't let her run around. She's prone to heatstroke."
"Yes, we're not going anywhere, we'll just stay home."
Hearing him say that, Ji Wanqiu felt relieved. The more she looked at this son-in-law, the more pleasing he became.
After lunch, the mother-in-law took a parasol and went out, while Jiang Xia put on an apron and cleaned up the kitchen.
Xiaoman sat on the sofa and watched TV for a while before obediently returning to her room to take a nap while hugging the doll Jiang Xia had bought her last time.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xia was worrying about volunteering when Wang Ming sent her a message.
【爷謸丶柰莪哬】: Lao Jiang, which school are you and your wife planning to apply to?
【Gentle Breeze Caresses the Moon】: I haven't decided yet, I'm not satisfied with any of them.
【爷謸丶柰莪哬】：With such high scores, you two must have chosen your universities with your eyes closed?
【Gentle Breeze Caresses the Moon】: Come on, help me choose one. I need someone who is good at art, also good at humanities, and from a region with a developed economy.
【爷謸丶柰莪哬】：Tsinghua! You're an art student at Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, and your sister-in-law is studying humanities at Tsinghua. You're both at the same school, you see each other every day and don't have to be apart. Isn't that wonderful?
【Gentle Breeze Caresses the Moon】: Her score was not high enough for Tsinghua University's liberal arts admission line.
【爷謸丶懰莪哬】：Tsinghua University Admission Scores.jpg
【爷謸丶柰莪哬】: Look for yourself, your sister-in-law's total score is two points higher than expected, ranking 13th in the city. Isn't she a shoo-in? Then you two will be at Tsinghua University, and I'll be at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. I can come visit you guys anytime, it's perfect.
【Gentle Breeze Caressing the Moon】: Holy crap?! When did this come out?! Let me check the school's official website!
Jiang Xia's eyes widened as he looked at the latest news released on Tsinghua University's official website. He had been looking at the college application guide that morning, which listed last year's admission scores. He hadn't expected them to drop this year!
In that case, neither of them needs to worry about it; they can just apply to Tsinghua University, and that would be the best outcome!
"Wife, wife, come quick!" Jiang Xia shouted loudly in the bedroom.
Hearing the sound, my sister-in-law, who was sleeping next door, suddenly opened her eyes, then covered her head with the air conditioning blanket and chuckled. My sister and brother-in-law really have a good relationship.
"Stop yelling, stop yelling! What do you want to do, calling me so intimately? Do you want to get beaten up?" Lin Yanwan, embarrassed and annoyed, brought a plate of watermelon into the house and used it to gag him.
If her mother were home, she would surely kick her unfaithful daughter out.
"Hehehe, I won't tell you, you can see it by looking at the computer." Jiang Xia bit into the watermelon, feeling that the watermelon was really sweet.
Lin Yanwan put down the plate with some doubt, walked to the computer, and stared blankly at the screen. She turned to Jiang Xia and said in disbelief, "I've made it into Tsinghua University?"
"Haha, that's right! We can both go to the highest institution of learning established by the country!" He nodded emphatically, in an extremely good mood.
"This seems a little different from what I remember?" she said blankly.
“Baby, don’t forget, this is just a parallel world. It’s normal for there to be some discrepancies. Think about it, even the top scholar in the previous life was replaced by someone else.”
That's true.
Lin Yanwan took a deep breath to calm herself down from her excitement. Getting into her ideal university was exciting, but the main thing was being able to be with him.
Otherwise, even if Harvard called her now, it wouldn't make a difference.
"Shall we fill out the college application forms now?"
Jiang Xia laughed and said, "Fill it out right away! Without any hesitation!"
She carefully checked the admission scores again before entering the National College Entrance Examination Application Service Platform. She then entered her ID number and student ID number, and filled in the information one by one according to the institution code, institution name, major code, and major name.
Jiang Xia majored in animation, while Lin Yanwan, just like in her previous life, studied business administration.
Her thinking was simple: as the boss's wife of Qitian Animation Company, the boss was just a terrible artist who knew nothing about company operations. In the end, wouldn't she be the one to manage the company?
"Didn't you say before that business administration was a useless major?" Jiang Xia couldn't help but laugh.
"How can a teachers' college compare to Tsinghua University? Besides, you never gave me a chance to show my talents in my past life," Lin Yanwan snorted.
"I'll make it up to you in this lifetime. I'll wait for you to lead our company to become bigger and stronger."
Jiang Xia held his wife in his arms and gently nuzzled her face: "Baby, do you still want to further your studies in music?"
"We'll see when the time comes. Although I'm not formally trained, I've studied for many years and I'm confident that I'm no worse than those formally trained students. Putting aside other things, I can easily handle small tasks like composing a piece of music and doing some sound mixing for you."
As she spoke, Lin Yanwan gently grasped his soft bones, which were beginning to stir again.
