Chapter 169 Finale
After Zhou An brought home the news that Xu Zhixia was the provincial top scorer, Xu Zhixia thought she had misheard.
Although she knew that she had reviewed well, she did not have a very clear understanding.
After getting a positive result, I breathed a sigh of relief and felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.
Tears as big as beans flowed uncontrollably down her face. She covered her mouth, feeling surprised.
Zhou An held her in his arms: "Xia Xia, the most important thing now is to think about which university you want to go to?"
Xu Zhixia took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
A glint of determination flashed in her eyes: "I've made up my mind. I want to study Chinese at Jingshi University."
If I wrote the article in the beginning, it was to find a legitimate excuse for her to spend money.
Then later, she really fell in love with the feeling of writing.
She had made her decision before the college entrance examination.
Zhou An pursed his lips and asked anxiously, "Then you..." How long will it take for you to come back to see us?
The rest of the words stopped abruptly and he didn't say them out loud.
Since Xia Xia wants to fly, she should fly higher without any burden.
Although he didn't say it, Xu Zhixia could see his worry.
He smiled knowingly: "I heard that the university has holidays every semester, I will come back then."
After a pause, he added, "I will try to finish learning the knowledge as soon as possible and come back early."
A trace of heartache flashed in Zhou An's eyes: "Just follow your own pace, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
The young couple chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.
The fact that Xu Zhixia was admitted to university caused a huge uproar on the island.
Everyone knew that Xu Zhixia was very powerful, but no one expected that she had this ability.
He was the top scholar in the province, and there must be smoke coming out of his ancestral grave.
For a while, there was an endless stream of people visiting the Zhou family, making the Zhou family miserable.
Among them, Xu's father and mother were even worse. Countless aunts lined up to ask them how to educate their children.
In the evening, Xu's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Our house hasn't been this lively for a long time."
Only at night can they breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhixia chuckled at the side: "Mom, just bear with it. I'll be able to calm down after I report."
When the report was mentioned, the atmosphere became a little silent.
It was Zhou An who spoke first and broke the atmosphere.
"I'll take a leave and take you there then."
Xu Zhixia was at a loss for words. She wasn't a child anymore, so why did she need someone to send her off?
But seeing Zhou An's reluctant look, he didn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
She nodded quietly, agreeing.
After Xu Zhixia's joy at being admitted to university faded, a small number of people began to talk about it.
They thought that since Xu Zhixia left, she might not come back.
The rumor grew more and more intense, and finally reached Xu Zhixia's ears.
She frowned and denied it without hesitation: "I will not divorce Zhou An."
"Wherever he is, that is my home."
Some people believed Xu Zhixia, but more people just laughed it off.
If they have the ability to go to a big city, who would come back to their small island?
However, there were fewer voices in public, and everyone was whispering in the background.
They were all waiting to see the excitement in Zhou An.
On the day Xu Zhixia left, everyone on the island came to see her off.
Zhou An stood at the front, his eyes filled with reluctance.
But after so many words, they finally boiled down to one sentence: "Be careful."
He wanted to see Xu Zhixia off in person, but he had an urgent mission.
The reason why he hasn't left now is because Political Commissar Zhou has given in.
Xu Zhixia looked back every step of the way and finally got on the boat with great difficulty.
It was already evening when she arrived at school.
She began to pack her things and saw something familiar in the deepest part.
It’s...their family passbook.
Xu Zhixia opened it and saw the numbers on it, which made her eyes a little sore.
Zhou An didn't keep a penny and gave all his savings to her.
Just like... when they first got married.
Because the college entrance examination had just been resumed, the university course was only three years long.
The winter and summer vacations were shorter than Xu Zhixia had expected.
After some hesitation, she decided to stay in school and complete the credits ahead of time.
She wrote a letter to Zhou An, briefly explaining her thoughts, and then put the matter behind her.
There was a huge quarrel on the island because of Xu Zhixia's decision.
Everyone felt that Xu Zhixia would never come back.
Even if she hadn't divorced Zhou An, the current situation was no different from being divorced.
During training, Zhou An could feel the sympathetic gazes of others.
Fortunately, Xu's mother took good care of Ping An and did not let others gossip in front of them.
Two years passed in a flash, and Xu Zhixia became more intellectually mature.
When she asked the professor for early graduation for the fifth time, the professor finally agreed.
In the professor's office, the professor said with a look of pity: "Student Xu, you are really talented. Would you really not consider continuing your studies?"
Xu Zhixia shook her head without hesitation: "Professor, I have more important things to do."
Learning never ends, and for her, the person she loves is waiting for her.
The professor sighed regretfully, but because he knew Xu Zhixia's temper too well, he did not force it.
But I still feel it's a pity. After all, there is no other student as outstanding as Xu Zhixia in the whole school.
Xu Zhixia returned to the dormitory, began to pack up, and prepared to go home.
During her time at school, she studied, continued to submit articles, and kept in touch with Shen Ran.
The book she wrote before about military families became a hit in the market, and her pen name became famous.
She did not slack off, but worked harder.
Now when her pen name is mentioned, it can be said that most people know it.
As his thoughts returned, Xu Zhixia lay on the bed, a familiar face appeared in his mind.
I don’t know how Pingping and Anan are doing. Is he... okay?
The next day, Xu Zhixia packed her luggage, bought a ticket, and prepared to go home.
After a long journey, it was already dark when we arrived at the island.
In order to give Zhou An a surprise, she didn't tell anyone.
When I returned home quietly, I saw a tall figure sitting in the yard.
"who?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked over with sharp eyes.
Xu Zhixia paused, and before she could say anything, Zhou An stood up, strode over, and hugged her in his arms.
It was as if a precious treasure had been found.
Xu Zhixia's eyebrows became soft and she hugged me back: "Zhou An, I'm back."
"I...will never leave again."
She whispered, the joy in her tone uncontrollably overflowing.
Zhou An raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Xu Zhixia's face.
The next second, he leaned over and kissed her deeply.
His Xia Xia is back.
