It is now June, and there is less than a month left before the college entrance examination. The repeat class that Jiang Yue has signed up for has recently entered the final sprint stage, with a small test every three days and a big test every five days. The evening self-study time has also been extended to 10:30.
"Ding-dong!" As the bell rang at nine o'clock, the teacher picked up his book and left the classroom.
Jiang Yue held her waist and stood up from her seat and began to pack up her books and test papers.
Although the school required all students to attend evening self-study classes until 10:30, Jiang Yue was pregnant. As her belly grew bigger, she could not sit for too long, so she applied to the school to have evening self-study classes only until 9 o'clock.
Gu Ye's figure appeared outside the classroom. He stood under the camphor tree outside waiting for Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, your family comes to pick you up every day, you are so lucky!"
Jiang Yue's deskmate is an older sister named Wang Meili. This sentence has become her must-say line every night. Every time Gu Ye comes, she will show an envious expression and wink at Jiang Yue.
"Yes!" Jiang Yue smiled and went out with her schoolbag.
As soon as Jiang Yue left, the class started talking again.
"Oh, comparing yourself to others is frustrating. Jiang Yue has evening self-study until 9 o'clock, but she always gets first place in the exam. I don't get home until 11:30 at night, and I failed the English exam again!"
"Who wouldn't say that? I see Jiang Yue doesn't study as hard as I do, so how come her grades are so good?"
"You may not know this, but Jiang Yue has a very strong memory. When I see her reciting a book, she can basically recite it after reading it once. She has a photographic memory!"
"I heard that since Jiang Yue came, she has always ranked first in the exams. Those students in the freshman class of No. 1 Middle School can't pass her! I am puzzled. If Jiang Yue is so good, why didn't she pass the exam when she was freshman?"
"Oh, I know that. Jiang Yue got married that year, so she missed the college entrance examination. Otherwise, with her IQ, how could she not pass the exam?"
"So they're married!"
When those who had doubts heard this, they immediately understood.
"But to be honest, Jiang Yue's husband is indeed excellent. He is a regimental-level cadre at a young age and is so handsome. I heard that he is from Beijing. So Jiang Yue gave up the college entrance examination for love, and it is not a loss to marry such a good husband!"
"Who wouldn't say that! If I were Jiang Yue, I would choose to get married just like her!"
“…”
Jiang Yue didn't know that her classmates had already imagined the story of her giving up her studies, getting married and having children for love.
As soon as she walked out of the classroom, Gu Ye came up to her, took the schoolbag from her, and handed her half a sweet corn.
"Oh, why is it only half?" Jiang Yue pouted, expressing dissatisfaction, "Gu Ye, why are you getting more and more stingy? It's not me who wants to eat, it's your son who wants to eat!"
"Didn't you say to eat small meals frequently?" Gu Ye looked at his spoiled little wife and smiled gently, "It's so late now, if you eat too much, it will hurt your stomach and you won't be able to sleep well at night!"
Jiang Yue is now in the late stage of pregnancy. Her belly is so big that it presses against her stomach. She feels bloated if she eats a little, but hungry if she doesn't eat. She can only eat in separate meals.
During the entire pregnancy period till now, Jiang Yue has gained 15 kilograms, but most of the weight has been gained in her belly. Her limbs are still slender, and from behind, you can't even tell that she is a pregnant woman.
When Jiang Yue first came to the repeat class, she was not yet pregnant. She was pretty, had good grades, and spoke English more fluently than the teacher. She soon became the focus of the whole school.
During that period, her drawer was filled with love letters every day. Not only were the boys in the repeat class pursuing her, but even the older boys in the current class ran to the repeat class every day just to see Jiang Yue.
Every time Jiang Yue walked on campus, there was always a group of people following him.
Jiang Yue said that she was married and pregnant, but no one believed her. Gu Ye happened to be on a business trip during that time, and a young man named Ma Shengli pursued Jiang Yue very aggressively. He brought her breakfast every day, but Jiang Yue refused it, but he insisted on bringing it. He also wrote her a love letter every day and even confessed his love to Jiang Yue in public in front of the whole class.
Of course Jiang Yue rejected him mercilessly, but Ma Shengli was unyielding and spread rumors that Jiang Yue had accepted his confession.
This Ma Shengli is a second-rate guy with terrible grades. I heard that he came to the repeat class not for the purpose of taking the college entrance examination, but to pick up girls. Now that he saw such a beauty like Jiang Yue, he was determined to win her over.
For a while, all kinds of rumors about Jiang Yue were flying around the campus of No. 1 Middle School.
Jiang Yue was so annoyed that her morning sickness became worse. She simply took a few days off to rest at home.
It was not until Gu Ye came back from a business trip that he learned that Jiang Yue had been harassed and went directly to the school to find Ma Shengli. Jiang Yue didn't know how Gu Ye had taught Ma Shengli a lesson. After she returned to school, she heard from Wang Meili that Ma Shengli was carried out that day and she never saw him again.
Seeing that Gu Ye picked up and dropped off Jiang Yue from school every day, everyone believed that Jiang Yue was really married. And as time passed, Jiang Yue's belly grew bigger, and those who had been interested in Jiang Yue completely gave up.
The campus of No. 1 Middle School is not big, and is planted with sycamore and camphor trees. On that early summer night in June, the weather was not too hot, and there was a cool breeze. Jiang Yue and Gu Ye walked side by side towards home.
Seeing Jiang Yue rubbing her eyes after eating the corn, Gu Ye pulled her hand down, rubbed his palms to warm them up, and covered her eyes with them.
The lamps in the classrooms of No. 1 Middle School have low wattage, and sometimes the voltage is unstable and the circuit breaker trips, so students have to bring their own miner’s lamps.
Jiang Yue didn't want to study for that long, and was also afraid that she would become nearsighted under that kind of lighting.
"There's still half a month left, and we'll be free if we can hold on!" Jiang Yue pulled Gu Ye's hand down, looked up at him with a smile, "Gu Ye, I got first place in the exam again this time!"
Gu Ye held Jiang Yue's hand and said with a smile: "My wife is the best!"
The young couple strolled towards the division staff quarters. Actually, ever since Jiang Yue started attending repeat classes, Gu Ye was afraid that she would have to travel back and forth, so he proposed to rent a room near the school. However, Jiang Yue thought that it would only take about ten minutes to walk from No. 1 Middle School to the staff quarters, which was not far. She was also used to her own small courtyard and did not want to rent a house in the county town.
Besides, she has been pregnant for almost eight months. She has to prepare for childbirth and walk and exercise every day to prevent the fetus from growing too big and her body from being too weak, making it difficult to give birth.
Naturally, Gu Ye listened to Jiang Yue in everything. He picked up and dropped off Jiang Yue every morning and evening. Jiang Yue would have lunch and rest at Aunt Yang's house at noon. No matter how busy Gu Ye was, he would always find time to come over.
After arriving home, Jiang Yue took a shower first, changed into a maternity dress of her own design, half-lay on the bed, picked up a book, and began to tell stories to the baby in her belly for prenatal education.
Gu Ye was massaging Jiang Yue's legs and feet. As the months went by, Jiang Yue's legs became more swollen, so Gu Ye would give her a massage every night.
"It's getting late, let's go to bed!" Seeing Jiang Yue yawning, Gu Ye leaned over and kissed her pink lips.
"I'm not sleepy!" Jiang Yue put down the book, hugged Gu Ye's neck and asked for a kiss.
Gu Ye's breathing became heavy, but his eyes were full of smiles. He deepened the kiss. After Jiang Yue's pregnancy stabilized, they also had a married life. However, in the past two months, Gu Ye knew that Jiang Yue was too tired with her big belly, so he restrained his desire and just kissed her every time.
Before falling asleep, Jiang Yue said to Gu Ye, "Tomorrow is Sunday, Gu Ye, don't forget to pick up Ningning!"
