Chapter 546: Not Relying on the Fu Family
Fu Shanzhan nodded and promised the two elders: "Of course, of course. If Xuexue is upset, it must be because I didn't do my job well. I won't let her be upset all the time."
Fu Shanzhan's words were sincere, and Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan did not doubt his sincerity. As people who had experienced this, they could see that the two of them had deep feelings for each other, but they were too young, so quarrels were inevitable.
After talking to Fu Shanzhan for a few words, Qiao Yanzhou and Xu Yan went to check in. Fu Shanzhan watched them enter the security check area before turning around and leaving.

Qiao Yunxue is a person of action. After deciding to take the postgraduate entrance examination, she immediately bought a bunch of review materials.
It was now July, and there were still more than four months until the exam. She had experience with previous exams, and the syllabus had not changed much in the past two years, so reviewing was not particularly difficult.
Qiao Yunxue still chose her undergraduate major, but changed to a school with higher qualifications. Since she was going to take the exam, she had to give it a serious try - she admitted that she was somewhat stimulated by Lin Muyue. No matter how carefree a person is, it is impossible for them to be completely indifferent.
Fu Qingyun never praised her, but he always praised Lin Muyue, so Qiao Yunxue couldn't help but feel a little competitive.
Qiao Yunxue set her target school as T University. Her previous postgraduate entrance examination results still had room for improvement, so for the next period of time, she read and reviewed every day, and her life became much more fulfilling.
People's energy is limited. Qiao Yunxue spent all her time on reviewing, so naturally she didn't have much energy to hang out with Fu Shanzhan like before.
Fu Shanzhan had long been accustomed to sticking with her as soon as he got home, and going out on dates together on weekends to spend time alone together.
But since Qiao Yunxue started reviewing, she no longer has time for date on weekends. Not only that, when she gets home from get off work on weekdays, Qiao Yunxue basically spends all her time doing exercises and reading books.
The difference between these days and the previous ones was too great, and Fu Shanzhan inevitably felt disappointed, but he also knew that Qiao Yunxue was under a lot of pressure preparing for the exam, and he couldn't add unnecessary pressure to her.
——
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was mid-August, and Fu Shanzhan's birthday was approaching.
In the past, at this time, Qiao Yunxue would start preparing more than ten days in advance.
But this time, although her birthday was next week, Qiao Yunxue didn't mention it at all. She concentrated on reviewing and doing exercises every day, and the two of them didn't even have much time to talk.
Fu Shanzhan really regretted letting her take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he couldn't say it out loud.
At this time, what he should do is relieve her pressure - Fu Shanzhan thought about it and decided to help Qiao Yunxue find a mentor, so that the pressure during the interview would be much less.
That night, when the two were sitting together for dinner, Fu Shanzhan took the initiative to bring up the matter.
Qiao Yunxue had been working on her homework all day, and since she was a bit sleepy during her early pregnancy, she was yawning when she arrived at the restaurant. She covered her mouth and sat down, saying listlessly to Fu Shanzhan across from her, "You're back."
Fu Shanzhan hummed, and seeing her tired appearance, he felt very distressed: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Take a break when you are tired of reviewing. You can't be too tired now, or your body will be overdrawn."
"Tired is okay, I'm just sleepy." Qiao Yunxue yawned again. "I used to think it was exaggerated when I heard people say pregnancy makes you sleepy."
Fu Shanzhan picked up the spoon and handed it to her, "How's the tutor's matter going?"
Qiao Yunxue: "There's no progress yet. Let's talk about it next month."
Fu Shanzhan: "My mom knows a few professors at T University. Why don't you ask her to help you ask them? That way, when you have the interview—"
"No need." Qiao Yunxue refused before Fu Shanzhan finished speaking. "I can find a supervisor myself. We agreed that I can handle all the postgraduate entrance exams myself. I don't need to use any backdoors."
Fu Shanzhan: "This is not a backdoor, it's just a recommendation. The written test still depends on your own ability."
Qiao Yunxue: "That's not necessary."
She refused very bluntly, without even thinking about it.
Fu Shanzhan couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a while, he guessed, "Are you afraid that my parents will have objections?"
Qiao Yunxue took a sip of soup and didn't respond, but basically agreed.
Fu Shanzhan thought about Fu Qingyun's attitude and understood Qiao Yunxue's worries: "Don't worry, just don't let my dad know. My mom will be fine."
"It's not a question of whether your father knows or not," Qiao Yunxue's face darkened. "Anyway, I don't need the Fu family's involvement in my postgraduate entrance exam. I can pass it on my own."
Taking the postgraduate entrance examination is a somewhat challenging decision, and she would never accept the help of the Fu family. She has already made preliminary contact with her supervisor, a professor who had previously collaborated with Lu Ye on a project. He is currently studying abroad, and when he returns to China, Lu Ye will take her to visit him.
Of course, Qiao Yunxue also knew that the Fu family's connections were more reliable. If she communicated with the tutor on her own, her chances of success would definitely not be as high as if the Fu family came forward.
But she didn't want others to criticize her in the future for being able to study for a master's degree thanks to the Fu family. This should be the result of her own efforts.
Fu Shanzhan was choked by Qiao Yunxue and remained silent for a long time. He sighed helplessly, "I just don't want to see you working too hard. You've been so busy lately that you haven't talked much."
Qiao Yunxue: "After reviewing, my mind is empty and I don't feel like talking."
Fu Shanzhan: "So, I was ignored by you."
At this point, his voice couldn't help but carry a hint of grievance and complaint, "These past few nights you've been falling asleep without even leaning into my arms."
Qiao Yunxue: “…”
It seemed to be true. Recently, she was exhausted after studying every day and had no time to spend with Fu Shanzhan. In addition, she was pregnant again, so their married life disappeared.
"If I don't rely on you, won't you hold me?" Qiao Yunxue pouted. Fu Shanzhan felt even more wronged: "Isn't it because I'm afraid of waking you up?"
Qiao Yunxue: "No, my sleep quality has been like a dead pig recently."
puff--
Fu Shanzhan was amused by her, "What kind of beauty would describe herself like that?"
The two of them joked back and forth, and the atmosphere at the table became a lot more relaxed. Qiao Yunxue also started laughing, which was a rare hearty laugh she had had recently.
After dinner, Qiao Yunxue waited for Fu Shanzhan to take a shower together.
After the two of them took a shower and lay down on the bed, Qiao Yunxue took the initiative to lean into Fu Shanzhan's arms, hugged his neck, and closed her eyes.
I've been really sleepy lately, and my brain becomes a mess when I touch the pillow.
Fu Shanzhan hugged Qiao Yunxue and asked her in a low voice: "Do you remember what day it is next week?"
"Ah...what?" Qiao Yunxue muttered in a half-asleep state. It was obvious that she could no longer hear what he was saying.
Fu Shanzhan rubbed her face and said, "It's nothing, go to sleep."
——
The next morning, Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan were woken up by the alarm clock one after the other.
Fu Shanzhan has to go to work, and Qiao Yunxue also has to get up early to review. Recently, the two of them have been getting up together to have breakfast.
Qiao Yunxue sat down and took a sip of soy milk, and the phone next to her vibrated.
Lu Ye sent a WeChat message.
Lu Ye: [Professor Wang returned to China the day before yesterday. I'm free today, so I'll take you to meet him.]
Qiao Yunxue: [Okay, what time?]
After replying the message, she opened the calendar and took a look.
It just so happened that Fu Shanzhan’s birthday was next week, so she took the opportunity to go out today and pick up the gifts she had previously reserved.
