Jiang Tian couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and pat his head: "You look like a little puppy, so pitiful."
Su Yuyao's ears turned red. He didn't say anything, but let Jiang Tian hold his hand and comfort him for a while. Then she demonstrated to him how to properly pick vegetables.
"Have you learned it?"
"...I've learned it."
"good."
Su Yuyao wasn't angry; on the contrary, he was even happier.
Compared to his clumsy self, Jiang Tian was a god-like figure in the kitchen.
She's really good at cooking.
Su Yuyao watched as she tossed the wok and added oil, and before he knew how, a fragrant dish was ready.
"I've remembered all your preferences. Don't worry, it's your birthday today, and I'll definitely make a dish that will satisfy you."
Seeing Su Yuyao's gaze, Jiang Tian patiently spoke to him.
"……good."
Su Yuyao's eyes were filled with smiles.
If time could stop at this moment, he thought that even if the world ended, he would have no regrets.
Jiang Tian prepared three dishes and a soup, each of which was one of Su Yuyao's favorites.
"I remember I became interested in you because you're a great cook."
The two returned to the dining table, and Su Yuyao suddenly remembered the past.
Also, her hair is very attractive.
Jiang Tian picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks and said in a very natural tone, "I deliberately made this for you. At that time, I really wanted to get back at you and I really wanted my brother to get back to his old self. His depressed state hurt me a lot. After all, I wanted him to be able to live a good life."
Su Yuyao did not shy away from this past event between the two of them: "Maybe I was too naive and arrogant back then, always thinking that I could control everything and do anything. I knew very well that your brother had not done anything wrong, he had just pointed out someone's mistake, but I still chose to defy the rules, or rather, to use the rules set by the nobility, to expel him from the university. Now you can see that I have suffered the backlash."
Jiang Tian deliberately raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "What do you mean? The backlash is meeting me?"
Su Yuyao did not deny this. He even smiled at her and said, "Yes, I met you, I like you and even fell in love with you, and I am happy to do so. I want to be at your beck and call and marry you."
At that moment, the smile on his face was simple and sincere.
Having weathered so many storms and thorns, he no longer wanted to hide his true feelings.
His innate nobility was an advantage to him; at the very least, he had far more courage than others, possessed so much wealth, and had enough resources to pursue the people he wanted.
“I didn’t want it to be like this either. You should know that where a person’s fate leads is not up to us. Perhaps there are factors that are predetermined.”
Su Yuyao lowered his head and ate his food. After a long while, he said, "...I understand."
The meal was very warm and cozy. The two chatted and laughed, talking about many interesting things about Su Yuyao, and the meal passed by just like that.
After the meal, the two washed the dishes together and put away the utensils together. Su Yuyao couldn't help but sigh, "A simple life can be very happy."
Jiang Tian looked at him and sighed, "Some people may not even be able to have a simple happiness, so cherish every moment."
Su Yuyao curled the corners of his lips: "It's something to cherish..."
After the two finished their meal, Su Yuyao asked Jiang Tian what else she wanted to do.
"Today is your birthday, so I should listen to your orders."
Su Yuyao said to her earnestly, "I don't want anything except you. Right now, my happiness is your happiness. So whatever you want to do, I want to do it with you."
Jiang Tian looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly reached out her hand to him: "Then can we go to your university for a stroll? I used to deliver coffee to your university, but I never had a chance to openly stroll around. This time, can we enjoy university life, hold hands and walk around the university, and look at the scenery?"
"Of course," Su Yuyao agreed without hesitation.
It was already evening, a cool breeze was blowing, and the sky was full of stars, but the moon was nowhere to be seen.
Berendi University continues to function normally even without those young masters.
Su Yuyao, Jiang Xianyu, and Cui Linye are just one graduation ceremony away from completing their studies.
Even though these people stopped attending classes later on, no one cared.
Universities are of little use to them, except for giving them a title.
During this period, everyone knew that they were taking over the family business, so the professors naturally wouldn't urge them to finish their coursework, since they had already completed it ahead of schedule.
There are quite a few couples dating at Berendy College.
In most universities frequented by the elite, it's far too easy for young men and women to experience the stirrings of first love.
There were many couples holding hands on the street, their faces beaming with youthful smiles.
Su Yuyao was also holding Jiang Tian's hand.
The two of them wandered aimlessly.
“This university is very beautiful,” Jiang Tian said.
Su Yuyao nodded: "Yes."
This university came into being after being designed by renowned experts and meticulously crafted over countless revisions.
A university that accommodates most of the nobility cannot be anything but beautiful.
"Actually, I really longed to go to college when I was a child. I don't know if you have this problem, but I really do. When I was a child, I would always dream that I became a college student, in a bright classroom, being asked questions by professors, and answering them very fluently. This scene appeared in my dreams more than once."
"But as you probably know, my adoptive parents had an accident, and I had to repay them first, so my younger brother became my hope in life. I hope he can fulfill my dream and graduate smoothly from this university."
"I'm sorry," Su Yuyao said softly.
He could imagine how little Jiang Tian had such pure and innocent hopes of becoming a college student.
Jiang Tian is an outstanding and intelligent person. If it weren't for those accidents and changes, and if she had grown up in an aristocratic family, she would definitely have become a college student.
But nowadays, many things cannot be overturned and repeated. The pain a person experiences, even in a lightly described account, leaves an indelible and profound mark.
Those painful experiences are marks on her life, and these marks cannot be removed because they are imprinted by time.
"No need to apologize. I know there is a gap between nobles and commoners, and these gaps mean that we can never truly empathize with each other."
Su Yuyao did not deny it.
Without experiencing it firsthand, how can he possibly understand the pain his partner has suffered?
Jiang Tian forced a smile at him: "What's past is past. I won't wallow in self-pity too often, because I know the future is within my grasp."
Su Yuyao looked at her silently, and after a long time, he suddenly gripped her hand tightly.
Jiang Tian didn't cry out in pain; she just looked at him.
A sudden silence fell between the two of them.
After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, Su Yuyao finally cautiously asked a seemingly absurd question—
"Jiang Tian, will I really be a part of your future?"
