Turns out she’s from the Military and Political Institute, no wonder she was so arrogant just now.
Mrs. Xiao kept her head down and said nothing.
Their family is just an ordinary working-class family, and their daughter finally got this opportunity to attend college, so it’s best not to offend these people lightly.
Chang Wan noticed the older woman had quieted down and slightly curled her lips into a faint smile.
Tian Xiang didn’t bother with any of that; she tidied her spot and went downstairs after making her bed.
She found ng Cheng’an under the shade of trees near the basketball court, and the two strolled around the campus until they decided to have lunch at the cafeteria at noon.
During the al, ng Cheng’an asked, "The one who ca with you for the professional exam last ti — he didn’t get admitted?"
Tian Xiang nodded, "He didn’t pass the professional test."
In these tis, getting into university is still quite difficult.
In the afternoon, with nothing much to do, the two went to a nearby mall, bought a few things, and then ng Cheng’an left because he had a class that evening, while Tian Xiang had a class eting.
Just after ng Cheng’an left, Tian Xiang was on her way back to the dormitory when she bumped into Zhong Xuesong.
Zhong Xuesong, with books in his arms, had obviously run into Tian Xiang by coincidence.
Upon eting again, Tian Xiang chuckled, and Zhong Xuesong seed a bit awkward, thinking before he said, "Tonight’s class eting is at seven."
Tian Xiang nodded, "Got it, thanks."
Once they parted ways, Tian Xiang discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.
Being the main character cos with a lot of frustrations: endowed with an aura, surrounded by exceptional and villainous individuals, constantly watched by others, and attracting the opposite sex.
She really didn’t like it; it was exhausting.
That night at the class eting, everyone introduced themselves, received books, and listened to the teacher explain so matters about the start of the school year and future coursework before being dismissed.
After the eting, Tian Xiang went straight back to the dormitory.
She figured ng Cheng’an would call her.
Sure enough, not long after she returned, the manager called her from downstairs.
The dormitory managent office has a phone, but it can only receive calls, not make them.
It was the sa at ng Cheng’an’s school, so he didn’t stay at school tonight and returned to the military compound.
The two had a casual chat about their respective situations.
After hanging up, Mr. ng waved over his beloved grandson.
The fruit was ready; he called him to co and eat.
Grandfather and grandson sat together on the sofa for a while, and Mr. ng asked him, "What’s going on between you and that girl from the Chang Family? In the morning, she was carrying such a big bag of luggage hoping to get a ride, but you didn’t allow it, making quite embarrassed."
ng Cheng’an replied, "When I first ca here, she might have pursued ."
ng Cheng’an used the word "might" because he’s not sensitive to these matters; since it wasn’t directly said, he wasn’t entirely sure.
Mr. ng chuckled gossipingly, "If you have that feeling, then it surely is the case."
The beloved grandson was the most handso and perfect among several generations of the ng Family, so of course, he would be popular.
"But now you have Xiangxiang, you should know your boundaries and keep so distance from those girls, so Xiangxiang doesn’t overthink things."
ng Cheng’an rolled his eyes at his grandfather.
No need to be taught this.
Mr. ng thought for a mont and added, "That girl from the Chang Family looks just fine on usual days. Knowing you already have a fiancée, she still wanted a ride, who knows what she’s thinking."
Looks like it’s better to keep so distance from the Chang Family in the future.
After finishing class on Saturday afternoon,
ng Cheng’an was the first out of the classroom and went to the Drama College to pick up Tian Xiang.
The two had previously agreed to go back to the military compound that evening for dinner to discuss their wedding plans.
The old man had picked out several auspicious dates for them to choose from.
Tian Xiang was in the dormitory packing when ng Cheng’an called for her from downstairs.
She hurriedly grabbed her bag and went down.
As they were leaving, they ran into a few familiar classmates near the basketball court and exchanged simple greetings with them.
After Tian Xiang and ng Cheng’an left, soone remarked, "The new school belle, such a pity she’s taken."
"So what if she’s taken, she’s not married yet."
"Ha, you’re quite confident. Why don’t you give it a try?"
The person chuckled, "Just joking."
Earlier, he thought about trying, but when he saw Tian Xiang’s boyfriend today — taller than him and looking envy-inducing — obviously the school belle wasn’t blind.
Up ahead, ng Cheng’an asked Tian Xiang, "Were those just now all your classmates?"
Tian Xiang nodded.
"In the sa class?"
"Two are in the sa class, the other three are in the neighboring class."
Although the school only officially enrolled one class, there were already preparatory classes inside, plus students from other majors, so there were quite a few students.
ng Cheng’an said, "In just a week, you’ve already t students from the neighboring class?"
Tian Xiang responded, "There’s a big stage play for the school event next month, and we’re combining classes for it. I’m also a class officer, so I often go over there."
Tian Xiang is now the class activities chairperson.
ng Cheng’an uttered an "Oh."
Seeing him looking moody, Tian Xiang nudged his shoulder and said, "What’s wrong? Thinking silly thoughts again? Lacking confidence?"
ng Cheng’an smiled, gazing at his beautiful fiancée, and asked her, "Have you noticed that over these two years, you’ve changed a lot, becoming more and more beautiful and outstanding?"
Tian Xiang’s eyes lit up, "Really?"
She could feel her learning ability and mory improving, but she hadn’t really noticed any changes in her appearance, since she saw it every day.
Could becoming a leading lady even change one’s appearance?
That would be great, who wouldn’t want to be prettier?
ng Cheng’an nodded; she indeed was becoming more and more gorgeous.
Fortunately, they were getting married by the end of the year.
Upon returning to the military compound, Mr. ng had already arrived ho, and his security guard Xiao He was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
They were eating at ho today.
Xiao He was a good cook, with four dishes and a soup, all looking and tasting quite good.
After dinner, Xiao He tidied up the kitchen, sliced a plate of fruit, and left.
Mr. ng took out a Chinese almanac and showed Tian Xiang and ng Cheng’an the selected dates he had picked.
Since Tian Xiang was studying in Beijing, the wedding room would first be set at the old man’s place.
Anyway, the old man would live in this two-story villa until his death, and by the ti the young couple graduated and waited for housing allocations, there would be plenty of ti.
As for the wedding itself, although the place is far, it couldn’t be left out on either side and had to be done well.
First, they’d have a ceremony at the Tian Family’s side, inviting relatives and friends to a restaurant, and then hold another one in Beijing, inviting the relatives and friends there as well, completing the ceremonies.
Since the winter break is limited in ti, the old man picked four dates fairly close together, with three before the new year and one after.
Previously, when marriage was ntioned, Tian Xiang didn’t feel much, but now thinking about getting married before the new year and having to spend the year here made her a bit reluctant to leave ho.
In the end, Tian Xiang copied down the dates, planning to discuss with her family before making a decision.
Tian Xiang wasn’t staying at the university today; she was staying here.
After she went to her room to rest, the old man went to the study to talk to ng Cheng’an, "A sudden change in roles, from a girl to soone else’s wife, must make Xiangxiang uneasy. You should spend more ti with her recently and give her enough sense of security."
"Mm."
