“Let’s eat,” Xie Zhuo said.
"Huh? Eating? What kind of eating?" The person was still skeptical. Could eating really make someone grow this tall?
He believed it when he ate lunch in the cafeteria at noon.
Xie Zhu ate the equivalent of three meals' worth of food in one sitting, and also scooped up a large spoonful of jujube tea, which he also finished.
"A god of food!" the man exclaimed.
Xu Yan didn't feel anything on the first day of school, but Xie Zhuo was quite moved, after all, he had lived two lives and this was his first time going to university.
On the way home from school, he kept talking to Xu Yan about things in the dormitory, his classmates, and his teachers.
Xu Yan didn't interrupt him and listened attentively the whole time.
It wasn't until she entered the house and saw the three children gathered around their great-aunt, telling her about the funny things that happened at school, that Xu Yan turned her head and glanced at Xie Zhuo.
Xie Zhuo: "..."
Are you secretly laughing at me in your heart?
Lying in bed at night, Xie Zhuo held Xu Yan and looked at her.
"No," Xu Yan reached out to grab his hand, but missed, as he nimbly dodged it.
Long, strong fingers reached down and grasped a piece of fabric.
"No, really," Xu Yan tried to back away.
But that hand was particularly wicked. It slid up a little along those slender legs, then grabbed the edge of the fabric and, controlling its force, suddenly lifted it up a little without hurting Xu Yan.
The fabric narrowed and got stuck inside.
The tiny, white feet under the covers tensed up suddenly.
Xu Yan bit her lower lip hard to keep from exclaiming.
“University is indeed different from high school,” Xie Zhuo’s voice was low and slightly hoarse. “The university is much bigger than our high school, and there are buildings. I’ve never lived in an apartment building before.”
Xie Zhuo speaks very slowly.
But his hands were quite fast.
As they rubbed and slid back and forth, Xu Yan couldn't resist any longer and bit his shoulder with her mouth open.
The distance between the two people suddenly closed, which made it easier for him to move around more.
He raised his knee, shoved Xu Yan's leg away, and then slowly moved back to the starting point.
Warm skin is pressed against a place that is even warmer and more humid.
Xu Yan bit down harder.
Xie Zhuo seemed oblivious to the pain, shifting his large palm to another spot while muttering to himself about some things he had said to Xu Yan on the way, "They used me as a measuring stick, coming up to me one by one to compare their heights and estimate how tall they were."
"Luckily you measured it for me beforehand, otherwise it would have been pointless to compare, as there would be no reference."
"However, there is one part of my body that I haven't measured, and it's not easy to measure with a ruler."
"How about... you measure me?"
"Just use **"
Xie Zhuo's voice grew softer and softer, but Xu Yan still clearly heard what he said. He suddenly trembled violently, and the corners of his eyes turned incredibly red.
"Have you no shame? Xie Baobei," Xu Yan glared at Xie Zhuo, "How can you say such things?"
There was no anger in her beautiful eyes, only tears welling up from her own emotions.
Xie Zhuo narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and lowered his head to lick the corner of her eye.
Then, as if he had discovered something, he said even more shameless things.
In the days that followed, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were really busy. Every day, they went to class, and occasionally, on weekends, they would take the three kids to see a movie or go out to eat, but overall, they were still studying.
Xu Yan chose to major in Chinese literature, which means she has a lot to memorize and a lot to read every day, and sometimes she even forgets to eat lunch.
However, usually on such occasions, Bai Ling would bring her two meat buns from the cafeteria.
Today she forgot about mealtime, engrossed in reading a history book. When she heard the noise again, Bai Ling and another classmate of theirs, Guo Jiazhi, were sitting next to her.
Guo Jiazhi is one year younger than Xie Zhuo, but looks at least five or six years older.
He was fairly good-looking, quite fair-skinned, with his hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, and wore glasses. Because he had the highest score in the class during the college entrance examination, the teacher made him the class monitor.
Xu Yan and he hadn't spoken much, but he and Bai Ling were quite close.
"Still looking? Aren't you hungry?" Bai Ling placed the steamed buns in front of Xu Yan.
Xu Yan then closed the book, handed her the money and meal tickets, and said with a smile, "I forgot about it. Thank you for bringing me steamed buns again."
“Hey, this time it’s not my doing,” Bai Ling stepped back a little, making way for Guo Jiazhi who was being blocked by her. “It was Guo Jiazhi who remembered. If it weren’t for him, you would be starving.”
Xu Yan glanced at her.
Bai Ling winked at Xu Yan and gave him a meaningful smile.
Xu Yan didn't respond to her comment. She pushed the money and meal tickets towards Guo Jiazhi, but before she could say anything, she heard Guo Jiazhi say, "No need, no need, two steamed buns aren't worth much."
Xu Yan ignored him and pushed the money towards him, saying, "I still want to thank you, but please accept this money. Otherwise, my girlfriend will be unhappy if she finds out."
Guo Jiazhi wanted to refuse, but Xu Yan's words, "My girlfriend," shut him up.
He hesitated for a long time, his face turning pale, before finally managing to stammer, "You, your partner is..."
“I’ve been married for almost three years,” Xu Yan said with a smile.
"Huh?" Bai Ling was also shocked. "How come I've never heard you mention this before?"
“You never asked,” Xu Yan said. “Besides, the school doesn’t allow dating, so I didn’t say anything.”
"What kind of relationship is this?" Bai Ling's eyes were still wide open, and her mouth was still agape. "Looking at you, I really can't tell that you're already married. You look like you're only ten or twenty years old. How could you possibly be married?"
