"Mr. He, can you be my ballroom dance partner at this year's New Year's Eve party?"
Near the cafeteria, a boy with medium-length hair and glasses stood in front of her with a bright daisy in his hand and suddenly invited her.
He Ruixue was surprised for a moment, then politely declined, "Thank you for your invitation. I'm honored, but I already have a regular dance partner. Please find someone else."
In this era, a fixed dance partner is equivalent to a lover.
Being rejected in public, the boy's face turned tomato red, his head almost buried in his chest, and the flowers in his hand also became a little dull, just like his mood.
"Ah, I'm sorry for offending you. Mr. He, I think you're going to have dinner. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around, carrying his cloth bag and went into the woods beside the cafeteria, looking like he was fleeing in panic.
For He Ruixue, who had been studying for a few years, this kind of thing was very common. It basically happened before every evening party or various social gatherings.
She just laughed it off, sighed at the beauty of youth, and went into the library again, trying to read through all the books and domestic and foreign publications that the professor had compiled for her.
On the other side, the boy who failed in his confession picked up his broken heart and walked along, dejectedly picking up flower petals and throwing them on the ground.
Suddenly, several young men jumped out from the side. Some of them hugged his shoulders, and some hugged his waist. Soon, the boy was covered with people.
Without looking up, he could guess that the group of people coming were his roommates and bad friends.
"Well, it failed, I knew it.
Shortly after the school started, a rich man drove to the school, wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding bright red roses and confessing his love to He. He was as impressive as in the movies, but she didn't like him, so how could she like you?
The boy stiffened his neck. "She's not greedy for wealth and hasn't been corrupted by capital. Don't you all say I'm the best-looking young man in the grade? I thought she would have a different impression of me."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
The people around him finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into laughter. The oldest dormitory head patted him on the shoulder and said with a suppressed laugh, "Okay, don't be sad. Student He has been married for many years and has children who are old enough to help with cooking."
"Yeah, you said you were good-looking, but that's because you haven't met her partner. I'm not good at Chinese, so I can only say that it's quite shocking."
"The last time her boyfriend came to school, you were busy taking exams and didn't see him. It was a sensation. Half the girls in the school came out, including the instructors and dorm supervisors. Even the cafeteria lady ran out with her spoon to see what was happening. The front door was blocked for a full half hour."
"It wasn't just girls, there were quite a few boys too, they all thought he was a movie star from somewhere and were rushing to get his autograph.
I thought about it for a long time and realized that there is no movie in Hong Kong with a male lead as handsome as him.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
The boy grumbled sadly, then realized what was happening, glared and yelled, "Did you guys deliberately hide this from me just to make fun of me?"
"No way, isn't it? We brothers see that you're in too deep and won't turn back until you hit the wall."
"If you keep making this up, I'll be a puppy if I believe you."
The boy felt more open-minded when he learned that He Ruixue was already taken and not because she refused the invitation because she disliked him.
He casually stuck the daisy, which had only a few petals left, on a nearby branch and picked a leaf to play with. "I can't believe He's child is already this big. I thought she was just an adult."
"Not looking old is one thing, she's not that old anyway, and she's a nice person.
There was a girl in her dormitory who was only 23 years old. She came to study with her three children. Her allowance had to support four mouths. She was as thin as a bamboo pole. He gave her all her meal tickets and beds, saying that she was going home to eat and sleep.
"I heard that they brought three little girls. The oldest was nine years old, and the youngest was still breastfeeding. They didn't have any good clothes when they came, and they were donated by their female classmates.
I heard she has a son who is still with the man, and she was allowed to take the exam because she didn’t even ask for a dowry.”
People who can go to college usually have relatively correct values. Everyone condemned her man for a few words and then talked about He Ruixue again.
"What does Mr. He's family do? They look quite rich."
“I’ve never heard of her, but she used to work as an executive in a department store, so she should have plenty of money. Her house is near the school, with two courtyards, and it’s bright and grand.
A student union interviewed the students and said that although there aren't many rooms, the yard is large, with flowers and trees, and even a rockery with a fountain. The layout must have been carefully designed and it looks very comfortable.
"I heard from my senior that there was a big rock in her courtyard. It was a rare stone. Several senior professors were attracted by it and found various excuses to visit her home.
Her parents live in the backyard and are very welcoming. They bring out all the delicious food and treat her like a child, even calling her Dongbao.
The boy pricked up his ears and listened quietly, but didn't hear the information he wanted, so he asked, "She lives with her parents, where are her parents-in-law?"
"Who knows? Either her husband is her son-in-law, or she doesn't have any parents-in-law."
"Marry into the wife's family?"
He exclaimed in surprise, but when he thought about He Ruixue's situation, it seemed very reasonable.
I completed four years of courses in two years, and the vice-president personally gave me the examination at graduation. Naturally, my results were quite outstanding, and I passed with almost full marks.
Because of his outstanding performance in the first semester of his junior year, He was accepted as a disciple by the department head, who took him in for personal guidance. In the second semester of his junior year, he went to study in a bank through the professor's relationship.
From a junior clerk to vice president, she has basically gone through all the processes.
