That evening, Teacher Wei added her to a group chat named "Burn Two Incense Sticks".
Including Yun Nuan, there are six people in total. Professor Wei and his students are very few people. The archaeology department only enrolls one or two students a year.
Last year, they recruited Yun Nuan, but she dropped out of school. Professor Wei thought there would be more applicants in the new year, but he only recruited this kid, Qin Shu, who was very irresponsible and didn't seem like he belonged in this major at all.
Professor Wei was very pleased with himself. Qin Shu always mocked him for making things up, but today he had actually found his senior sister. Let's see how he can still make fun of him now.
Professor Wei: [Welcome Yun Nuan to our Archaeology Department family! Everyone, please come forward and introduce yourselves. Our Archaeology Department is truly outstanding at digging, and the job market for this major is very promising. Most importantly, we are united and friendly!]
Professor Wei's impassioned speech went unanswered for a long time, partly because everyone was eating, and partly because they were probably annoyed and blocked him.
---------------------
Meanwhile, Yun Nuan was facing Qin Yan. Qin Yan had been going up and down the stairs since he returned from the company, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Yun Nuan was watching TV for a while when he started walking around and got dizzy, so she had to stop him and ask him what was wrong.
Qin Yan shook his head and said it was nothing. He then tried to go upstairs, but Yun Nuan grabbed him, her suspicious gaze sweeping over him.
"Qin Yan, you're lying. Tell me, what really happened?"
The TV series was at an exciting point, and Yun Nuan couldn't care less about watching TV anymore; her mind was entirely on Qin Yan.
"Baby, I'm really okay. You can continue watching TV."
He was clearly preoccupied, and his emotions were all on the surface. He told Yun Nuan to watch TV, but he was still holding her hand tightly, a contradictory action.
Yun Nuan leaned back on the sofa and sat up straight, giving him a quick kiss, coaxing him.
"Just tell me what happened. Even if I can't solve it, I can criticize everyone for you!"
Qin Yan kissed her still-chattering little mouth, which smelled of fruit; she had just eaten some.
"It's okay, a kiss will make you feel better," he laughed.
Yun Nuan reached out and patted his head with a hint of helplessness. He obediently lowered his head and let her do as she pleased. His long eyelashes covered his face, making it impossible to see any change in his emotions. However, Yun Nuan knew that he was somewhat irritable, and there was still no way to resolve his irritability. A large part of it stemmed from the topics they had discussed today.
"Are you worried about me going to school? You're all being too anxious. I'm going to school, not to prison, don't worry!"
"How could I not worry? What if you get bullied when I can't see you?" he said in a low voice, feeling more insecure than ever before. He was always worried that Yun Nuan would get hurt, or that her health would deteriorate again. In short, he was anxious, even more anxious than someone who was in school.
"What are you muttering about? Don't have that look on your face tomorrow when school starts, or you'll scare my classmates. Qin Yan, don't worry about me, I'm an adult now."
She spoke without any shame. Qin Yan looked up at this person who looked exceptionally young. When he thought about the age gap between them, he couldn't help but treat her like a child. Yun Nuan was the most precious child.
Qin Yan chuckled and pinched her slightly chubby cheeks, which were soft and plump.
"How can I not worry? I've thought it through. I bought an apartment near S University. You can come home for meals and rest anytime after class."
Thinking about this, Qin Yan wasn't so irritable anymore. At least he could see Yun Nuan that night. If anyone really bullied her, he definitely wouldn't let them get away with it!
Yun Nuan felt a little guilty at the mention of this, and he didn't dare to touch his head anymore. He put his hands behind his back and stammered as he spoke.
"Um, um."
She talked for a long time without uttering a single complete sentence. Qin Yan was in a pretty good mood and quickly recovered. However, after listening to Yun Nuan's vague words, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Yun Nuan was still trying to make herself clear, so she steeled herself and spoke.
"That Qin Yan, in our school, you have to live in the dormitory during the first semester, you can't stay out overnight."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the television behind him became particularly noticeable.
"Are you kidding me?" The television behind him uttered that sentence in a particularly fitting way, as if it were something Qin Yan was about to say.
She looked at Qin Yan nervously, only to see him pause for a moment, his eyes dark and deep, yet a hint of confusion could still be seen.
"Qin Yan, I still have half a semester left. After this semester ends, I can move into the apartment you bought."
Qin Yan shook his head. "This is different, baby. I'll go talk to the principal. Your condition is special. I'll have him arrange for you to stay outside."
Yun Nuan suppressed all her emotions, looked at him seriously, and shook her head.
"Qin Yan, listen to me, it's only half a semester, which is less than a semester for others. It's only three or four months, it will pass quickly."
I know you're worried about me, but I don't want to receive special treatment. I don't want everyone to always see me as someone who's constantly on edge.
Now that I've decided to live well, I won't do anything foolish. I love you very much, and you love me very much too. While we love each other, we each have our own things to do.
You've already given up so much of your career because of me, and I don't want that. I don't want to be a burden to you. I want you to be well, and I need to learn to be more independent, at least enough to socialize normally with others.
She looked at Qin Yan with a pang of heartache. He was so tired. Although he didn't say it, she could see it all. Sometimes she felt she wasn't giving enough, because Qin Yan gave so much, so much that it sometimes made her panic, wondering if she really deserved such love.
When she saw the love in his eyes, she told herself again and again that Qin Yan was not someone those people would easily abandon. She deserved him, and she would have a bright future with him.
Therefore, she hoped that she could be more independent, so that Qin Yan wouldn't have to worry about her so much anymore.
The room was silent. The television had ended sometime earlier, and the clock showed 10 p.m. No one spoke, each trying to change the other's mind, yet unable to bear seeing the disappointment in the other's eyes.
Yun Nuan thought bitterly that Qin Yan was still considering her feelings even at a time like this. He could have used every means to make her compromise, but in the end, it was he who compromised.
He lowered his head and smiled silently, then embraced her with both hands, burying his face in her neck, his warm breath spraying over her.
Even if I have many excuses to refute this, even if I have many ways to make you do things my way, I know you will be unhappy, and if you are unhappy, I will be unhappy.
I want to make you happy, and I also want our baby to have good friends besides me, but I must be your only one.
Just like I said then, I wanted you to have more attachment to this world, so I didn't stop you, but now I can't help being angry. Let me hold you, hold my baby.
