Chapter 51

They separate as soon as they are touched.

Just a dragonfly kiss on the water.

Xu Wen made it clear that it was a long journey.

Lu Yuanzheng was still stunned and licked his lips unconsciously.

There seems to be a warm touch left on it.

My heartbeat was a little out of control.

At the same time, there were some emotions that he couldn't explain and were out of control.

Xu Wen blinked, his lips curled up, "If you want to kiss, just kiss. There's no need for you two to be secretive."

Lu Yuanzheng realized it belatedly, and Xu Wen teased him, raising his eyebrows, "You said that?"

He lowered his upper body, supported the sofa back with one hand, held the coffee table with the other, and moved close to Xu Wen's lips.

This girl really needs a lesson.

Besides, is he still a man if a woman took the initiative in this matter? !

Xu Wen giggled and put her index finger on Lu Yuanzheng's lips to prevent him from getting close, shaking her head to refuse: "Go to bed and wait for me, I haven't taken a shower yet!"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

His pupils suddenly dilated, his face and eyes were filled with surprise, his mouth slightly opened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

The blush spread from the neck all the way down, even the neck and exposed collarbone were faintly red.

Xu Wen took advantage of Lu Yuanzheng's daze to slip out from under his arm, ran into the bathroom with a smile, and closed the door.

She was also shy, but when she saw that Lu Yuanzheng was even more shy, she felt less shy.

Although I expected Lu Yuanzheng to be relatively conservative, I didn't expect him to be so conservative.

Xu Wen came out of the shower quickly. Lu Yuanzheng was sitting in front of the bed, touching his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Wen wiped his hair with a towel, clicked his tongue, and teased him, "Are you still savoring it?"

Lu Yuanzheng heard the noise and turned around to look at her, warning her: "You are a girl, don't dare to say anything! Be careful or I will really mess with you!"

Xu Wen glanced at his plastered leg and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future. You may not be able to do it now."

After saying this, he smiled provocatively.

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

He hissed and gritted his teeth, "I'll remove the plaster tomorrow."

Xu Wen was afraid that if he really upset Lu Yuanzheng, he would be the one to suffer, so he threw the towel aside, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and asked Lu Yuanzheng: "How long can you stay in here?"

Lu Yuanzheng couldn't keep up with her speed of jumping around in topics, so he thought for a moment before speaking: "Theoretically, I can stay for a maximum of three months. But if there's something urgent, I have to leave... like on our wedding day."

Xu Wen automatically ignored the following words and nodded: "That's enough."

"You'll get a headache if you don't dry your hair before going to bed." Lu Yuanzheng took the towel she had thrown aside, signaled Xu Wen to turn around, and asked her, "What's enough? What do you want to do?"

Xu Wen sat with his back to Lu Yuanzheng and said, "I want to graduate early and go to the island with you."

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking.

Xu Wen waited for a while but heard nothing, so he turned around to look for Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng quickly pressed her shoulders to stop her: "Don't move!"

However, it was too late, and a few of his hair were pulled, causing Xu Wen to hiss in pain.

"Xu asked."

"ah?"

"Ever since I opened my eyes and saw you, I have been thinking about one question."

"What?"

"You are such a good girl, what can I give you?"

Lu Yuanzheng has always believed in shedding blood but not tears, and he is also used to being alone.

No matter how strong a person is, when he is sick or injured, he will always be a little more fragile than usual.

The same is true for long journeys.

Every time I was pushed out of the operating room and smelled the pungent disinfectant in the hospital, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

This time too.

Before Xu Wen arrived, he was already conscious but he could not open his eyes or control his body.

This in itself is a very painful torture.

They have practiced long periods of silence to avoid collapse, but they definitely don't like the feeling.

From time to time, someone would come to see him and take care of him.

It was nothing more than changing his bandages and cleaning his wounds. I didn't even think about chatting with an unconscious person to relieve my boredom.

Not to mention being unconscious, it's the same even when awake. We're all men, there's nothing much to say.

Only Xu Wen sat next to him and talked to him so much.

Lu Yuanzheng, who was unable to move, suddenly felt that time was not so unbearable. Her clear voice chirped in his ears, very lively.

It was so lively that he wanted to open his eyes and take a look.

It was very uncomfortable and painful to not be able to control your own body. He tried again and again, and finally opened his eyes and saw the girl sitting in front of his bed.

At that moment, he wanted to hug her and kiss her.

Unfortunately, he could do nothing and it was too late for him to do anything.

When she found him awake she ran to call the doctor.

From that time on, Lu Yuanzheng was wondering, what could he tell Xu?

He used to be able to give her what she wanted, but now she no longer needs him to give her anything.

This realization made Lu Yuanzheng quite frustrated for a while.

Especially on New Year's Eve, when he saw Xu Wen crying so hard because of what Mrs. Li said, he was a little afraid that one day the person crying would become Xu Wen.

So he backed off.

This also made Xu Wenda unhappy during the New Year.

He was upset but also happy, a very complicated feeling.

Xu Wen said that he had thought it over carefully before being with him, and he was secretly happy but also nervous.

For the first time in my life, I had a selfish thought: I wanted to keep her by my side and be with her.

So he took the opportunity to apply to go with her to school, even if they could only stay together for two months.

Who would have known that this seemingly rational girl was actually impulsive and was clamoring to graduate on the first day of school.

Lu Yuanzheng is not stupid. Xu Wen must have his reasons with Dongsheng for doing this.

Xu Wen exclaimed, and asked in surprise, "You don't need to give me anything? Why do you have to make an exchange? It was like this before marriage and it's still like this after marriage?! Do husband and wife have to make equal exchanges when they live together?"

"That's not what I meant." Lu Yuanzheng frowned, raised his left hand and pulled his hair, not knowing how to explain.

He sighed, "Xu Wen, life on the island is very hard. Transportation is inconvenient, supplies are scarce, and it's very poor and backward. It's completely different from university life."

Universities are full of young students, and even if some of them are a little older, it does not hinder them because they can study with a common language.

This is a prosperous capital city. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, people and things you come into contact with on a daily basis are completely different from those on the island.

This time Xu Wen understood. It was probably because Lu Yuanzheng was hit again after visiting the school.

Xu Wen thought about it and decided to be honest with him.

"It's a long journey."

Lu Yuanzheng suddenly straightened his back. Xu Wendu saw that he was about to open his mouth to answer "yes", but he probably reacted and swallowed the "yes" back and said "hmm".

"Shouldn't your focus be on how I, as a freshman, could have the confidence to graduate early?"

Lu Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows.

Frankly speaking, although he did not understand the university system, it sounded like Xu Wen's request was not that reliable and was probably impossible to achieve.

So he just felt guilty for letting Xu Wen have this idea, and never thought that she could succeed.

But, hearing what Xu asked, is she sure?

Xu Wen took the towel from Lu Yuanzheng and wiped his hair.

She turned around and sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing Lu Yuanzheng, and said, "Lu Yuanzheng, let me tell you a ghost story?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "..."

What story?

She tells ghost stories to someone who lives on the edge of a knife every day?

Aren’t we talking about college graduation? Why are we talking about ghost stories again?

Xu Wen didn't care what he thought and just said, "If I tell you I'm a ghost, do you believe me?"

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head and chuckled: "Why don't you say you are a white snake? It might be more romantic."

Xu asked: "..."

"You are the one who has turned into a demon! I am a human, not a demon." She rolled her eyes. "In fact, I hesitated whether to tell you before we got married. After all, we are together day and night, and you will find out sooner or later if you are so powerful."

She didn't want to always be in a state of fear, living in fear every day and being on guard against even the person next to her, like she was at Xu's house, where she couldn't even sleep well, for fear that she would say something wrong in her dreams and something like what happened to Wen Yiming would happen again.

Xu Wen believed in Lu Yuanzheng's character, and he would not betray her even if he could not accept the truth.

The worst outcome is that the two people go their separate ways.

Seeing Xu Wen was so serious, Lu Yuanzheng stopped smiling.

Xu Wen frowned and didn't know how to explain for a moment. He thought about the words and said, "I am Xu Wen and I am not Xu Wen. Or to put it in a way that you can accept, I forgot to drink Meng Po soup when I was reincarnated, so I have the memory of my previous life."

She kept observing Lu Yuanzheng's expression as she spoke.

Lu Yuanzheng had no expression, or at least he didn't look scared, he just looked a little thoughtful.

"But my previous life is not the historical figures of the 1960s, 1950s, 1940s or earlier. My previous life is from the 21st century onwards, which means 40 to 50 years from now."

This time, Lu Yuanzheng had an expression, one of obvious surprise and disbelief.

"In my last life, I died young. I lived a total of 24 years, and more than 90% of my life was spent in school. Three years in kindergarten, six years in elementary school, three years in junior high school, three years in high school, four years in college, and two years for a master's degree, a total of 21 years. I was too young to remember the three years I didn't go to school." Xu Wen counted on his fingers, "I was finally reborn as a human being and started going to school again. I just finished two years of high school, and now I'm almost in my four years of college..."

Lu Yuanzheng sighed, "Now that you hear that, it seems like you're having a pretty miserable time!"

Going to school is a good thing, but living your whole life just going to school doesn't sound so good.

Xu Wen was so angry that he threw the towel in his hand at Lu Yuanzheng, "I'm telling a ghost story! Can you respect me a little? Does it matter what I'm up to? Besides, what's wrong with me? I've always been a good student!"

Lu Yuanzheng took the towel, folded it and placed it on the radiator, and replied to her with a smile: "Okay."

Even if Xu Wen was the female ghost in the story, she was not scary at all, not to mention that she was just a cultured ghost, and a ghost that was reincarnated as a human.

Xu Wen rolled his eyes and continued, "I died once myself, I signed the consent form for Dongsheng's critical illness, I have seen you dying, and I have heard Mrs. Li crying. In fact, ever since Dongsheng almost died in front of me, I began to wonder, why should I continue to live a routine life? Why should I repeat the life of my last lifetime?

So I don't want to go to school anymore. Life is short and we may be separated forever at any time. I can't study for two lifetimes, right? ! I applied to college before because I had no better choice than college, but now I have one.

I want to live with the people I care about, and do whatever makes me happy. A happy and safe family is more important to me than studying."

As if possessed by a demon, Lu Yuanzheng raised his hand and rubbed Xu Wen's head, "You will live a long life."

Xu Wen was slightly startled: "Aren't you afraid at all?"

"Are you afraid that you will crush me to death with all your knowledge?"

Xu asked: "..."

She pinched her waist and retorted: "Knowledge changes destiny!"

"Have you changed?" Lu Yuanzheng laughed.

Xu asked: "..."

For a moment I didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Lu Yuanzheng accepted her words so calmly, Xu Wen was a little surprised.

She expected Lu Yuanzheng to be more accepting of her affairs than the average person, but she didn't expect it to be this high.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Lu Yuanzheng thought about it carefully and said, "Although you are very capable, it may not be a good idea to graduate early."

Xu asked: "..."

Did I ask you to ask this? You are not asking me this, you are making a conclusion for me.

Seeing Xu Wen's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish in anger, Lu Yuanzheng rubbed her head again and asked her a serious question: "Will there still be wars in a few decades?"

Xu Wen nodded and shook his head: "Generally speaking, the world is at peace, but it is inevitable that some countries will still have wars. However, our country is very good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. We are getting stronger and stronger in all aspects!"

Lu Yuanzheng was satisfied: "That's good."

Xu Wen looked at Lu Yuanzheng and started to smile.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at the clock on the wall and said to her, "It's too late. You should go to bed. You have school tomorrow."

Xu Wen agreed, put on his shoes, helped Lu Yuanzheng back to the bedroom.

Before going to bed, Xu Wen was still worried: "Are you really not afraid of me?"

"I've seen a lot of strange things during my years in the army. I've encountered everything. Although your story is a bit scary, it's the least scary ghost story I've ever heard."

Xu asked: "..."

"Ask."

"Um?"

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and I don't want to keep such a big secret in front of you."

It seems that there is no further news about Xu Wen's plan to graduate from college early.

The teachers and students of Beijing University just treated it as a joke.

Only the person involved, Xu Wen, went to the library every day to look up information.

She has to write a paper.

The principal said that as long as she could complete an excellent thesis within two months, he would consider Xu Wen's request.

Xu Wen was busy writing his thesis during the day and would return to the nursing home after class in the afternoon.

The sanatorium is a military facility and is naturally managed in a militarized manner. It is also equipped with a canteen, and meals are delivered to the rooms three times a day.

But after all, it’s a big pot of rice, and sometimes the food is inevitably not to their taste.

There is a small kitchen in the yard, and sometimes Xu Wen and Lu Yuanzheng cook their own meals.

Most of the time it is a long journey.

Every night when Xu Wen came home from class, there would be steaming rice porridge and her favorite dishes as soon as she entered the door.

What surprised Xu Wen was that Lu Yuanzheng's cooking skills were quite good.

Every weekend, if the sun is shining, the family of three would stroll around the yard.

A place suitable for recuperation, the scenery is naturally good.

It’s enough to stroll around the compound, there are so many attractions to visit around it.

One day Xu Wen accompanied Lu Yuanzheng to watch the national flag-raising ceremony in front of □□.

Of course, Lu Yuanzheng is not suitable for traveling far, and he seldom goes out.

Instead, Xu Wen often took Dongsheng around.

Xu Wen took Dongsheng to climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, and told him about the Old Summer Palace.

Dongsheng started chattering and showing off to Lu Yuanzheng as soon as he returned to the nursing home.

What else can Lu Yuanzheng say except envy.

I can only curse him as a quack a thousand times in my heart.

Xu Wen also brought some fried noodles and roast duck for Dongsheng, and of course he didn't forget to bring some for Lu Yuanzheng.

When I have time, I will also teach Dongsheng to read and write.

They often changed places, and Dongsheng couldn't always change kindergartens, so Xu Wen simply taught his child himself.

Time goes by day by day.

The willow trees quietly sprouted new buds and the ice melted silently.

Lu Yuanzheng's injuries healed day by day, but many terrifying scars appeared on his body.

Fortunately, he has all his limbs intact and is a healthy person.

Except for the leg being in a cast, he looks no different from a normal person.

Xu Wen's thesis was finally completed and submitted.

A few days later, the principal talked to Xu Wen.

"If you have such great abilities, why do you still want to go to college?"

Xu Wen held up his hands and said, "Principal, what do you think these things I know can bring me before the college entrance examination is resumed?"

headmaster:"……"

Probably only bad things.

He nodded. "You are indeed a rare genius. The professors all spoke highly of your thesis. They all said that they could not teach you anything. You do have the ability and qualifications to graduate early."

Xu Wen didn't say anything, because she knew that words like this would often be followed by a "but".

As expected, the principal continued, "However, there has never been a precedent like you since our school was founded. Moreover, credits are accumulated over time, and no one can complete all the credits in one day. This is not fair to other students. I held a meeting with other school leaders and discussed it. The final decision is: you still have to graduate with your classmates in four years to get a diploma and be assigned a job."

Xu Wen was also mentally prepared, so being a little disappointed was not surprising.

"But you don't have to come to class for these four years, but you have to come back every year to take the end-of-year exam. If you pass the exam, you can continue, but if you fail, you have to come back to class. When you graduate, you still need to rewrite the thesis like everyone else. Can you accept it?"

This is a pleasant surprise.

Xu Wen nodded: "Of course. Thank you, Principal!"

The principal shook his head and said, "Don't thank me! You fought for this with your own ability."

There was no way to hide the fact that Xu Wen didn't have to attend classes, and it soon spread throughout the entire school, and she was once again at the center of controversy.

There were many people who questioned Xu Wen, but Xu Wen had already left school, and her classmates could not do anything about her, so they went to the school to ask for an explanation as to why Xu Wen was able to enjoy such special privileges.

How can a freshman who has just enrolled not have to come to school graduate with them?

What is this?

Not fair!

Seeing that the students' voices of doubt were getting louder and louder, the principal didn't say anything. He just posted the test paper that Xu Wen had taken on the first day of school on the notice board at the school gate.

The twenty or so papers Xu Wen completed that day filled the entire notice board.

These test papers are from the last final exams for students from freshman to senior year in the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

Each grade has five or six courses, and of course the content is different for each grade.

However, all of these papers either got full marks or were close to full marks.

The words are written in black and white on the paper, and the score is clear.

Many students simply cannot understand Xu Wen's thesis, but this does not prevent them from seeing clearly the comments given by the professors at the end.

At the same time, the principal also said that it was not impossible for Xu Wen to have such privileges, and he would approve it as long as Xu Wen showed his ability.

From then on, no one compared themselves with Xu Wen anymore.

Xu Wen's story spread from school to society.

After hearing this, many companies extended olive branches to Xu Wen and expressed their willingness to hire her in advance.

But Xu Wen refused on the grounds that the school did not agree, and was busy packing his luggage to go to the island.

Lu Yuanzheng looked at Xu Wen who was busy packing her things and asked her, "Are you really going to give up so many good job opportunities and go back to the island with me?"

Xu Wen nodded without hesitation.

Lu Yuanzheng stopped talking.

After Xu Wen packed his clothes and stacked them in the box, he turned around and saw Lu Yuanzheng's expression and knew what he was thinking.

"You don't have to feel like you're a burden to me. I just don't want to go to work, at least not for the time being. Just think of it as me going on vacation to the island with you! Didn't I buy myself four years of time? Or do you mean you don't want to support me?"

Lu Yuanzheng: "...

"Yes. With great pleasure."

Before leaving, Lu Yuanzheng went to see a doctor to remove the plaster on his leg.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.

He has only been in the nursing home for two months, but his leg injury has been three months and the plaster can be removed.

After removing the plaster, Lu Yuanzheng threw away his crutches, stretched his muscles, and jumped twice on the spot, saying with emotion: "It turns out that being able to walk and jump feels so good."

Xu Wen frowned and warned him: "Just because the plaster has been removed doesn't mean the bones are healed. Take it easy."

Lu Yuanzheng hummed and asked her, "Are you seasick?"

Xu Wen shook his head, "I don't know."

Never been on a boat.

When Lu Yuanzheng heard this, he asked the doctor to prescribe some seasickness medicine.

He put the seasickness medicine in his pocket, carried the luggage in one hand and held Xu Wen with the other.

Xu Wen held Dongsheng with his other hand.

"Let's go to the island."
