Chapter 50

The capital city was far from being as prosperous as it is in later generations, but at least it wouldn't be confusing to go around in circles for a long time.

A car from the nursing home came to pick us up.

Xu Wen thought that a sanatorium sounded like it should be located in a secluded area in the suburbs, similar to a hospital.

Unexpectedly, this is not the case. The sanatorium is located in the city center and occupies a large area. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but once you enter the gate, you will find a different world.

There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and attics, and large courtyards within small courtyards.

Lu Yuanzheng was also given a private house with a courtyard. Although it was not big, it was still spacious enough for a family of three.

It is said that these rooms are divided according to the severity of the illness. The more seriously injured patients are located deep inside the sanatorium, some of whom require 20-hour personal care.

It was not based on external injuries but on the results of mental tests. When Lu Yuanzheng and his team first arrived, they did a mental examination.

Xu Wen was very curious about how psychological tests were conducted in this era, but unfortunately her family members were not allowed to accompany her, so she couldn't see it.

The closer to the outer hospital, the better the mental condition.

Lu Yuanzheng was a special case. Generally, soldiers came for treatment only after their external injuries were almost healed, and only their mental state was considered. Lu Yuanzheng was seriously injured but his mental state was not bad. The person in charge of the sanatorium thought about it and arranged them in the middle of the sanatorium.

Xu Wen and Dongsheng curiously visited the place where they would live for the next two or three months.

There are trees, flowers and plants in the yard, and the decoration style of the house is very simple, which is the kind of warm and relaxing style.

If it weren't for the complete emergency medical equipment in the master bedroom, it would be hard to imagine that this is a nursing home.

Dongsheng hugged Xu Wen's thigh and asked her, "Mom, is your school far from here? Can you come back and live here?"

Xu Wen subconsciously looked at Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng also looked at her, with anticipation in his eyes.

Xu Wen shook his head, "I haven't registered yet. But it should be soon. If possible, I will come to see you often."

"Then we can't live together?" Dongsheng pouted, "Can I go find you then?"

"If the school allows, come back and live here?" Lu Yuanzheng also invited Xu Wen, "Just take care of me?"

Xu Wen looked at the two, one big and one small, and said, "Then I'll apply to the school tomorrow when I register to see if they'll let me in."

Xu Wen went to register at school by himself.

Lu Yuanzheng wanted to send her off, but it was unclear who would get the job in the end.

Fortunately, the nursing home is close to the school and it is also convenient to take the bus.

Originally, Lu Yuanzheng wanted to arrange someone to send her off, but Xu Wen didn't like to trouble others.

Besides, they had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place, so they really didn't want to trouble others.

On the first day of freshman registration, Xu Wen became a celebrity at Peking University.

It’s not because of the college entrance examination scores. What top universities have no shortage of is freshmen with good grades.

Even the top provincial scholars can only be counted on one hand.

When introducing yourself, everyone has been first.

Generally, after new students enter the school, each class will be assigned a counselor to manage daily class affairs.

When the counselor arranged for everyone to leave, Xu Wen caught up and asked the counselor if he could attend school for two or three months and if he could graduate early.

The counselor asked her why she had to take a few months off from school and why she wanted to graduate early.

The matter of walking to school was easy to explain. Xu Wen said that her lover was injured and hospitalized nearby and needed care. The counselor readily approved it, as she still had this authority.

Mainly about the second point, Xu asked the counselor: "If I can finish all the exams from freshman to senior year, and finish the thesis ahead of time, can I graduate early? If not, can I skip classes and just take the exams at the end of the semester?"

The counselor was shocked.

It’s just the first day of school and students are asking if they can graduate without attending classes?

How crazy is this?

If Xu Wen was that kind of naughty student, the counselor could still comfort herself that she was just joking. However, Xu Wen did not look like the kind of student who would joke with teachers. She looked serious and it was obvious that she was asking seriously.

The counselor took a deep breath and wanted to explain the university rules to Xu Wen.

It is not impossible to graduate early, but you must complete enough credits.

No matter how talented you are, you can't get enough credits on the first day of college. It will take at least three years.

She was not angry. After all, it was only the first day of school. This female student probably didn't understand what college was like, so she asked such a naive question.

Coincidentally, the principal happened to pass by and heard what counselor Xu Wenwen said, so he stopped and called them.

The counselor was busy protecting Xu Wen: "Principal, this is the first day of school for new students. If you don't understand anything, it's just nonsense."

The principal shook his head, "I don't think so." He looked at Xu Wen and smiled kindly, "Student, do you know what you are talking about?"

Xu Wen first thanked the counselor for protecting him, then nodded to the principal and said seriously, "I know."

Then the principal took Xu Wen away.

This scene was seen by students passing by and quickly spread.

Xu asked a question and became famous.

No one knew what the principal said when he took Xu Wen away. All we knew was that the principal asked the people from the Foreign Languages ​​College to send a copy of all the exam papers that had just been taken from freshman to senior year last semester to the office.

All refers to the professional courses, which also include Chinese, advanced mathematics, etc.

Two professors were also invited to mark the test papers on site.

The moon was already high in the sky when Xu Wen came out of the principal's office. He couldn't help but shudder as he pushed open the door of the office building.

I don't know when it started snowing, but there is already a layer of snow on the ground.

Xu Wen had just come from the south and was feeling a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his hands and put the hood of his coat on his head, thinking that it was so late and he should go back to the dormitory and spend the night there.

As a result, after running only a few steps, I saw Lu Yuanzheng with crutches and Dongsheng who was wrapped like a dumpling playing in the snow.

Dongsheng was very excited when he saw snow for the first time. He stretched out his tongue to catch the snow and eat it.

Lu Yuanzheng was covered with a layer of snow.

Xu Wen trotted over and asked, "Why are you here?"

"If you're worried, come and have a look."

Lu Yuanzheng arrived in the evening and wanted to ask Xu Wen if she could go back and live there, and if so, he would pick her up.

Who knew that I would hear about Xu Wen's deeds as soon as I arrived.

I'm afraid that every Kyoto University student today has no other topic on his mind except Xu Wen.

Lu Yuanzheng simply asked around and then came here to wait.

I was afraid of being hungry in winter, so I went to their school cafeteria to eat. The journey was long, but I thought it was a good experience of college life.

Although he doesn't look like a college student, this class of students is special and the age difference is particularly large, so it is not out of place even if Lu Yuanzheng leads Dongsheng.

"Mom!" Dongsheng saw Xu Wen and ran towards her.

The road was a bit slippery and Dongsheng almost fell.

Xu Wen hugged him tightly and prevented him from falling flat on his face.

Xu Wen touched Dongsheng's hand, rubbed his face with his forehead, frowned, "Why are you just waiting outside? The temperature difference is big after just coming back from the south, and Dongsheng got frozen?" He turned back to Xun Lu Yuanzheng, "You too, why are you a sick person and not waiting at home? What if the wound gets wet by the snow?"

Nian Gui Nian, who had just arrived in a foreign country, had just gone through a very brain-burning and long test of answering questions. She went out hungry and faced the biting northwest wind. Xu Wen still felt a little sad, but when she saw the man and child waiting to take her home under the light, her heart was filled with warmth.

Lu Yuanzheng took off his military coat and put it on Xu Wen. Without waiting for Xu Wen to refuse, he stuffed two sweet potatoes that he had been keeping warm in his arms into her hands and said, "Are you hungry?"

Xu Wen bit the tip of his tongue lightly, his nose slightly sour, and he hummed, looking at the warm roasted sweet potato in his hand, his eyes moistened: "Thank you."

Lu Yuanzheng glanced at her and imitated her: "Between husband and wife, there is no need to be polite about such trivial matters."

Xu asked: "..."

There are heaters in the rooms of the nursing home, and you will feel the warmth as soon as you enter.

Xu Wen struggled to carry Dongsheng to the crib, took off his clothes leaving him only a thin layer of autumn clothes, and covered him with a quilt.

Dongsheng’s bed was newly added and is right next to the big bed.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Xu Wen who had been busy since he came in, and sighed: "Suddenly I feel a little incompetent."

"Huh?" Xu Wen, who was running a bath for him, heard Lu Yuanzheng mocking himself and turned back in confusion.

Lu Yuanzheng lowered his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work. I feel that you haven't rested enough in the school dormitory after coming back." Jing took care of them father and son.

Xu Wen understood and shook his head with a smile: "It's not always like this. Aren't you seriously injured and haven't recovered yet? It's just temporary. How can such a small thing hurt your self-esteem?"

"It's not that my pride is hurt, I just feel that I have wronged you." Lu Yuanzheng paused and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Xu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just carried Dongsheng to bed and put some warm water for you, and you even said sorry?"

Lu Yuanzheng was injured and couldn't use the bathtub, so he could only take a shower. Xu Wen just helped him drain the cool water.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head, "It's not because of this. When I was waiting for you at night, I was thinking that if I really couldn't come back, would Dongsheng still be able to go to such a good school if you took care of him by yourself? Even if you came and took care of Dongsheng to study, how hard would life be? And if you take care of him, it will be a problem for him to get married in the future... Anyway, I'm sorry."

Before the marriage, everyone, including his uncles and aunts, felt that Xu Wen was taking advantage of him.

In fact, he owed Xu Wen.

Of course, at that time he didn't know that Xu Wen and Dongsheng would go through all that, nor did he expect that such a rational person like Xu Wen would put raising Dongsheng first in his life.

In addition to being moved, I also felt admiration and gratitude.

He wanted to be better to her, so he applied to come with her, wanting to take care of her, accompany her and protect her.

Unexpectedly, she was still the one taking care of him and Dongsheng.

"This has nothing to do with you. I like Dongsheng and I am willing to treat him as my son. With you, I can relax. Now I can go to school without any burden. Without you... he is still my son."

"Dongsheng is very lucky!" Lu Yuanzheng sighed, "I am also very lucky to marry you!"

"No! We haven't married her yet. We haven't got the marriage certificate yet."

Xu Wen only then realized that filing a report was only limited to their internal registration, and that to get married one still had to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate like normal people.

"It's just a matter of time!" Lu Yuanzheng leaned against the door frame, looking at Xu Wen who was testing the water temperature with a smile, his heart filled with feelings he had never felt before.

Warmth, security and an indescribable feeling, especially comfortable.

"Okay." Xu Wen shook the water off his hands, turned around and looked Lu Yuanzheng up and down, "Do you need my help?"

Lu Yuanzheng put his cane behind the door, hoping to scare her and let her know that men should not be messed with, so he opened his arms and said, "Come on!"

Xu Wen's face was flushed, and Lu Yuanzheng's ears were also red.

After all, Xu Wen came from the later generations, so she couldn't be more attractive than a man from the relatively conservative seventies.

In her heart, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to rush back to the bedroom and close the door, but she didn't show it on her face. She glanced at Lu Yuanzheng, put her hand on his collar, and began to unbutton his shirt.

From the neckline down.

One.

Two.

Three...

Lu Yuanzheng grabbed Xu Wen's hand and pushed her out of the bathroom, saying, "Remember, this kind of thing should be left to men! Girls shouldn't be so proactive."

Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud without any hesitation.

No one can preach at a time like this!

With a smile, Xu Wen took the warm roasted sweet potato from the radiator, peeled it, broke off a piece and put it into his mouth.

Very sweet.

Always sweet to my heart.

Although all the stitches on Lu Yuanzheng's body have been removed and his wounds have healed, he still has several broken bones, so he is not very mobile and takes a long time to take a shower.

When he came out, Xu Wen was sleeping on the sofa with half a sweet potato in his hand.

Lu Yuanzheng put his crutches down against the coffee table, bent down, and frowned before his hand even touched Xu Wen. He stiffened for a moment, straightened up, frowned in annoyance, and sighed softly.

It is impossible to hug her at the moment, no matter how hard I try.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, patted Xu Wen resignedly, and called her, "Wake up! Go to bed! You'll catch a cold here."

Xu Wen opened his eyes and closed them again, with a hint of cuteness in his sleepy look: "I'm so sleepy."

Lu Yuanzheng gritted his teeth and put his hands through Xu Wen's armpits and knees, thinking that the worst that could happen is that the wound would open again.

As a result, when he exerted force on his upper body, his plastered legs could not provide the strength and he lost his balance and fell on Xu Wen.

Lu Yuanzheng gritted his teeth and cursed: "Quack!"

Li Daoming must have been afraid that he would do something reckless, so he tampered with his plastered leg to make it impossible for him to use his strength.

Xu Wen was forced awake, and when he opened his eyes he saw Lu Yuanzheng's face close to him.

Not only the tips of his ears turned red, his entire face was red, he was so embarrassed that he sat up on the sofa and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry!"

After a brief moment of confusion, Xu Wen blinked and said, "Lu Yuanzheng, do you want to kiss me secretly while I'm asleep?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

My face was burning. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.

He helplessly propped himself up with his hands, and squeezed between the coffee table and the sofa in an awkward position that was neither squatting nor kneeling. He did not bother to stand up and explain in a panic: "I wasn't! I didn't! I was just worried that you would catch a cold on the sofa. I..."

"I didn't control the strength well. I'm sorry!" Lu Yuanzheng gave up explaining and apologized instead.

Because I feel it is more embarrassing to tell the reason. I can't lift someone up and even fall down myself.

If his brothers in the company knew about this, they would laugh at him for three days and three nights.

Lu Yuanzheng's explanation was unclear, but how smart was Xu Wen? After a little thought, he realized that he wanted to hug her but failed.

Xu Wen also wanted to laugh, but Lu Yuanzheng was obviously extremely embarrassed now, so she didn't want to make things worse and just secretly pursed her lips.

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyelids and looked at her, and said helplessly: "If you want to laugh, just laugh! How uncomfortable is it to hold it in?"

“Hahahaha…” Xu Wen laughed until his stomach hurt. He laid on the sofa, holding his stomach and groaning, “I’m dying of laughter!”

Lu Yuanzheng was so amused by Xu Wen's laughter that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself, but now he just leaned on the sofa with an expressionless face, his long legs stretched out casually, without saying a word.

Under the light, the fierce old scar on the side of his cheek seemed much softer, moving slightly with Lu Yuanzheng's breathing, silently tempting Xu Wen.

Xu Wen became bolder and supported himself with his arms, then leaned forward and kissed Lu Yuanzheng on the lips.
