Chapter 465: Chapter 460: Discovered

Jiang Yan’s backpack zipper wasn’t completely closed, and Tian Xiaohui, walking behind him, caught a glimpse of the advanced math books and papers inside, which brought on another wave of sorrow.

“Damn, you score eighty and still work so hard, so does that an I, who just barely passed, am going to be struck by lightning for wanting to have fun?”

He couldn’t help but complain, “At other schools, after sophomore year, if you have enough math credits, you don’t have to study it anymore. Apart from Beijing University, which school still continues with advanced math in their junior year? We’re not even math majors.”

“This is our last sester, though, and we won’t have it next sester,” Dai Lei chid in. “Beijing University places the most emphasis on physics and math, so these subjects are taught more in-depth compared to other schools. That’s why you can’t compare them.”

Tian Xiaohui looked miserable. “That’s true, no comparison. After all, who else would bother with monthly and mid-term exams in college? Look, it’s gotten so bad Jiang Yan has to carry books with him whenever he leaves the house.”

Jiang Yan glanced back at him, “Am I being forced by the school? It’s my uncle who’s pressuring .”

Gao Jie leaned close to Dai Lei and whispered, “Has Jiang Yan already t Mu Jiawen’s parents?” Was the uncle also starting to inquire about his studies?

Although Gao Jie had been introduced to everyone, Dai Lei never spoke out of turn regarding others’ private matters.

Therefore, Gao Jie didn’t know the real situation between Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen.

Dai Lei glanced at Jiang Yan and Mu Jiawen walking ahead and whispered back, “He’s planning to be a live-in son-in-law, so he t them early.”

Tian Xiaohui’s ears were sharp, and upon hearing this, he said enviously, “I also want to be a live-in son-in-law, but how co no one’s inviting ?”

“Didn’t you say your family has had a single male heir for five generations? If you beco a live-in son-in-law, aren’t you afraid your dad will find out and slap you to death?”

Tian Xiaohui was an open book, and he could even bring up his family history and his ancestors to chat about, which is why almost everyone knew about an ancestor of Tian Xiaohui’s who was an executioner during the Ming Dynasty. This ancestor passed the profession down to his son, and then to the grandson.

Possibly due to the karmic burden of taking lives, none of the three generations lived to an old age, but fortunately, they each had two or three brothers, so the line continued. But starting from the grandson’s generation, each infant born would die, until the fourth one barely managed to raise a boy.

Seeing this pattern, the grandson realized continuing as an executioner would end their lineage. He imdiately quit that profession and started slaughtering pigs instead.

But even after the change, the Tian family continued to have only one male heir in each generation. His grandfather had no siblings, his father was also an only child, and by Tian Xiaohui’s ti, it went without saying – family planning policies were in effect, and they couldn’t have another child even if they wanted to.

The story of his family history was known to everyone in their dorm, and Jin Dapang laughed as soon as it was ntioned.

Thinking of his father’s hand, large as a fan for chopping at—yes, from the grandson who switched to pig slaughtering down to his father’s generation, they were all skilled pork butchers. At tis, he couldn’t help but marvel at the amazing power of human inheritance.

Fortunately, that ca to an end with his generation.

Rembering when he got into Beijing University, his father’s thick palm, accustod to wielding a butcher’s knife, kept wiping away the tears falling on his face as the burly man cried like a child… Forget it, for his dad’s sake, perhaps he shouldn’t beco a live-in son-in-law.

Mainly because no one was offering.

The group entered a restaurant, found two long tables to push together, and then everyone went to grab the food they liked.

After Christmas, the final exams ca up quickly.

As soon as the holidays began, Mu Jiawen was imdiately dragged into the lab by Professor Li. He was sowhat dissatisfied with his youngest student, “What did I tell you before? In your junior year, you should study all the remaining content to prepare for graduate school. Why don’t you just listen?”

It wasn’t that she didn’t listen, it was… she wanted to play a bit more.

But she hunched her head, not daring to reply.

Professor Li kept her by his side for study and also urged her to complete the content of the second sester of her junior year. With her intelligence, if she committed herself fully, she could finish a sester’s courses in just one month.

Professor Li didn’t plan to let her waste any more ti, giving her three months to finish the remaining undergraduate courses. When she reached the graduate level, that would be the ti for him, her teacher, to fully co into play.

So, this winter vacation was particularly tough for Mu Jiawen.

And on a day she was unaware of, sothing major happened to second brother…

His relationship with Hong Jing had flourished over the past six months, reaching a new level. So, as soon as the exams were over, Hong Jing couldn’t wait to return to Beijing.

The internet cafe here hadn’t been open for half a year, yet it was already operating quite successfully. Not only did many students frequent it, but even so professors and successful professionals often ca to relax or work.

The fa of ‘Feilu’ was gradually spreading far and wide, and this gave second brother, who was sowhat self-conscious, a bit more confidence than before.

As for education, that was a problem that could not be helped, a real weakness!

Even if he pursued postgraduate studies after his undergraduate, the diploma he would receive would still fall short when compared to regular university students.

Knowing he didn’t like studying, Hong Jing didn’t force him and even advised him, “We are both undergraduates; the difference isn’t substantial. Let’s just leave it at that, having an undergraduate diploma is already very good.”

The two had just co out of the internet cafe and were strolling along the tree-lined pathway in the university town. It was getting dark, and they could sneak a kiss in the shadows without anyone seeing.

But what they didn’t expect was that, right after kissing and stepping out from the shadows, when they looked up, they saw Hong Jing’s parents standing about ten ters away on a small path, staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed, dumbfounded at the two of them.

Both parties, four people, faced each other, eye to eye, mouths agape, and for a long ti, nobody could speak.

It wasn’t until after several heavy breaths that Hong Jing’s mother darkly commanded, “Hong Jing, co here!”

Second brother was panicked, wanting to speak but was stopped by Hong Jing, who gave him a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

She was the calst among the four of them.

In fact, it was second brother who had previously asked her not to ntion him, otherwise, she would have brought him to et her parents much earlier.

It was actually quite good to be caught like this.

Hong Jing approached her parents and casually greeted, “Dad, Mom.”

Seeing her attitude, her mother’s face darkened further, and she reached out to grab Hong Jing’s arm and yanked it hard, “Co with .”

Before they left, Hong Jing’s father glanced at second brother with a complex look in his eyes.

Truth be told, he had previously had a good impression of the young man. His aunt said the boy was kind-hearted and had done much to help the old people in the community, especially Old Brother Liu. If it hadn’t been for him buying out his house at that ti, perhaps it would have been harassed away by his son and sold, and whether he would have a place to live was questionable.

On the other hand, he had also saved his daughter, and in a certain sense, he could be considered Jingjing’s life-saving benefactor.

But no matter what, that was not a sufficient reason for the two of them to be together; it was just not a match… in various aspects.

First of all, there was the issue of different family backgrounds. Even if we put that aside, the disparity in their educational levels was not on the sa plane, could an adult education degree really compare to a diploma from a reputable university?

Moreover, his daughter had been imrsed in the arts since she was young, learning piano and painting. Although these seed not very useful in daily life, they could form a basis of common ground for the two in the future…
