Once the courtyard opposite Peking University was renovated, Jiang Yuan, Sister Mei, their two children, and Jiang Zhiyuan all moved in, and her application to not stay on campus at night was finally approved.
I still take a nap and attend classes at school at noon, but I can go home in the evening.
Kyoto University's campus is very large, and she gets exhausted from running around every day.
However, Jiang Zhiyuan had already brought the women's bicycle that Sun Zhou and the others had given him. It would only take about twenty minutes to ride it home from the school dormitory.
The bicycle caused quite a stir when it entered the school gate.
Xu Ningyan has really blossomed since giving birth.
She is already 1.63 meters tall, lives in a good environment, gets adequate nutrition, has fair skin with a pinkish tinge, and has jet-black, shiny, and smooth hair.
Her features have matured, and she looks more and more like Xu Jiefang, who sacrificed his life, only her eyebrows and eyes are softer and more feminine.
When she smiles, her eyes crinkle into a sweet smile, making her look adorable.
But when she's not smiling, her thick eyebrows exude an indescribable air of heroic charm.
In addition, although her clothes looked unremarkable, they were clean and without patches. Although she was not high-profile, everyone knew that a beautiful and academically excellent female student had joined the history department.
Even though Kyoto University issued a ban on student dating at the start of the semester, and most students were focused on their studies.
But being young and full of longing, many people, under the guise of studying and making progress together, wanted to get closer to Xu Ningyan.
Unfortunately, once Xu Ningyan arrived, apart from attending classes and studying, she always went to the cafeteria or the library with her roommates, and was never alone.
Even if these people wanted to get close to Xu Ningyan, they couldn't find an opportunity.
As for her classmates, Xu Ningyan had already announced it during her self-introduction on the first day: she was married and had two children, thus effectively nipping any potential romantic interests in the bud.
For Xu Ningyan, the admiration from these male classmates was not something to be happy about; on the contrary, it added to her troubles.
Her attitude towards relationships has always been clear: she'd rather be single than settle for less.
Once a choice is made, no one else will get a chance.
More importantly, she didn't want to betray Jiang Zhiyuan's trust.
Although Jiang Zhiyuan once joked that after going to Peking University and seeing so many outstanding peers, would they look down on him?
But he didn't become suspicious or make any demands of her because of this.
Instead, as a mature man, he took the initiative to show his charm, was more considerate, and quietly solved the problem of Xu Ningyan not being able to go home.
Having lived two lives, Xu Ningyan naturally admires Jiang Zhiyuan's attitude even more.
Therefore, the nearly one-month-long boarding school experience did not affect their relationship at all; on the contrary, they became even more affectionate and inseparable.
In the past, Jiang Zhiyuan would often work overtime because his commute to and from get off work wasn't too far.
Now that I've moved to live near Kyoto University, I can go to get off work and leave on time every day. After dinner, I can even go into the campus to pick up my wife and take her home.
Either Jiang Zhiyuan would ride his bike with Xu Ningyan, or the two of them would ride bikes together and stroll around the campus.
Spring has arrived, and the night breeze is no longer so cold on the body and face; the air is filled with the fragrance of grass, trees, and flowers.
The two walked one after the other, chatting and laughing, and anyone who saw them could tell that they had a very deep affection for each other.
Soon, those who coveted Xu Ningyan learned that she was already taken.
Some people lamented, some sighed, and some felt ashamed of themselves.
When Xu Ningyan returned home, she sighed with relief. Recently, almost no one had stopped her from studying and making progress together with her.
Jiang Zhiyuan silently pulled the person into his arms and kissed him, keeping his merits and fame hidden.
The days flew by amidst the intense study.
Xu Ningyan felt as if she had only been in college for a few days, and it had already gone from spring to summer, and she was on summer vacation.
A lot has happened this semester.
The government has returned all the previously confiscated public housing to their original owners.
Of course, the original tenants of those houses will continue to live there, but the rent will now be paid to the landlords instead of the state.
Many more people were exonerated and returned to their original positions.
They returned their original houses and jobs, as well as subsidies and compensation to them.
Although these compensations seem insignificant compared to their previous losses, for these exonerated people, being able to return from a hopeless, barely surviving place in the countryside is enough.
Many of the professors at Peking University have also been exonerated.
Xu Ningyan even saw familiar faces inside.
Old Xing, who was once in the cowshed of the Tuanjie Brigade, never expected that he would become a professor at Peking University.
Previously in the Unity Brigade, he was a low-key and quiet person.
In most cases, it was Gu Deqing who stepped in.
Professor Xing is a professor of Chinese history in the History Department. The two met for the first time in class and took attendance. Xu Ningyan was taken aback. Professor Xing was older and more composed. He did not show any expression on his face, but his eyes lingered on Xu Ningyan for a couple more seconds.
After class, Professor Xing kept Xu Ningyan behind.
Professor Xing looked at Xu Ningyan with eyes full of goodwill and appreciation.
Although Xu Ningyan's help to them was very subtle, they were able to discern it after experiencing so much.
Without Xu Ningyan's help, they might not have survived in the cowshed of the Tuanjie Brigade.
After Xu Ningyan left the Unity Brigade, they spoke of her several times, expressing their gratitude.
Especially after everyone was exonerated, they all agreed that if they had the chance to see Xu Ningyan, they would definitely thank her for her kindness back then.
Everyone knew that Xu Ningyan had married into a family in Beijing, and later they even heard from the brigade leader that Xu Ningyan had taken the college entrance examination and been admitted to Peking University.
The people in the cowshed were both happy for Xu Ningyan and surprised.
Having spent a long time in the Unity Brigade, they would often mention Xu Ningyan, a legendary figure in the brigade, and thus learned about his past.
Knowing that she had only attended primary school for a few years under Xu Zhenzhu's guidance, I never expected that she would not give up reading and learning even under such difficult circumstances.
Everyone's goodwill towards Xu Ningyan increased significantly.
Especially before Professor Xing and Gu Deqing were exonerated and brought back to Beijing.
Everyone urged the two of them that if they ever encountered Xu Ningyan, they should express their gratitude on their behalf, and that they would never refuse to help if needed.
After Professor Xing conveyed the gratitude of the people in the cowshed, Xu Ningyan quickly waved his hand.
Is this the legendary "I tick-tock YOU, YOU splash splash ME"?
How embarrassing! I feel unworthy of such an honor!
