Chapter 636: Chapter 605 Transfer to a New Job, Always on the Mind_1

Such a Huang Jingli made He Tiantian and Cui Ying willing to get along well with her and become friends.

"Count me in too, Huang Jingli. I hope you can get married before turning twenty-seven," Cui Ying said, her impression of Huang Jingli having greatly improved since getting to know her.

Huang Jingli pouted and said, "I do want to experience a serious relationship, but finding the right person is not as easy as cotton-picking! I’d better focus on my studies."

"Fate brings people together no matter how far apart they are; without fate, they don’t meet even when face to face," He Tiantian consoled. "Don’t sigh. It’s just that fate has not yet arrived."

"Let’s just self-comfort with that thought," Huang Jingli said. "Hurry and go, I need to deliver the homework to the office."

Due to her eagerness to help her classmates, Huang Jingli was unanimously elected as the class leader and temporarily acted as the Chinese class representative, so she was responsible for collecting and distributing homework.

"Then, I’ll leave first. Take care," He Tiantian said as she bid goodbye to Huang Jingli.

Cui Ying went to the cafeteria with Huashan too, they left together as a pair.

At Nan City University, the school does not interfere with students’ romantic relationships; it neither advocates nor prohibits them, as it is the students’ freedom.

Moreover, many people had their marriages delayed due to the ’up to the mountains and down to the countryside’ movement. After entering university, it is only logical for them to look for someone who shares the same values and aspirations.

While cultivating the students’ knowledge, the school should also pay attention to the students’ major life events!

There is no interference, no encouragement.

Freedom of love, voluntary marriage.

While walking, He Tiantian talked to Huo Yingjie about some class matters.

One narrated with high spirits, while the other listened quietly.

Huo Yingjie was somewhat tall, so as he listened, he slightly tilted his head, his gaze filled with an undissolvable tenderness toward He Tiantian.

"Cousin, how come you’re here?" Qin Li felt uneasy when she saw her cousin staring at her classmate He Tiantian, or to be exact, at He Tiantian’s husband.

Wang Bing withdrew her gaze upon hearing her cousin’s voice, and said, "My job has been transferred to Nan City University, and since I knew you were studying here, I came especially to have lunch with you. You ungrateful little thing, to not appreciate it!"

"I do appreciate it, really!" Qin Li replied. "But Cousin, from now on, please don’t stare at my classmate’s husband. They are already married. It’s not good for you to do that."

Wang Bing was internally upset but did not dare show anger towards her cousin; after all, her uncle’s official rank was higher than her father’s, and her father still had to rely on her uncle at home!

"Alright, I thought he looked familiar, and I remembered that we’ve shared a ride together once," Wang Bing explained. "What are you thinking about with that little head of yours!"

Qin Li wrinkled her cute little nose and said cheerfully, "If that’s the case, then we’ll just say I was overthinking it."

Qin Li was no fool, and she was not a child; she could clearly see the possessiveness in her cousin’s eyes.

Alas, Qin Li had heard recently that her cousin’s blind dates were frequent, yet she hadn’t taken a liking to anyone.

Now, seeing that gaze directed at a man, Qin Li felt obliged to remind her capable and resourceful cousin to avoid engaging in any shameful behavior.

In Qin Li’s eyes, she saw He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie as a match made in heaven, exceptionally loving. If her cousin got involved, she was sure to become a laughingstock. Her cousin was her uncle’s only daughter, dearly loved by her aunt and mother, and Qin Li did not wish for her cousin to be persistently misguided.

"Let’s go, Cousin will take you to eat something delicious," Wang Bing said with a smile, heading to the cafeteria with her cousin.

Wang Bing restrained herself from looking at the retreating figure of Huo Yingjie!

If time could flow backwards and she were a few years younger, she would have aspired to go to college and become a proud university student, allowed to stand openly by Huo Yingjie’s side.

Ever since learning of Huo Yingjie’s identity, his handsome face, and his upright figure, Wang Bing couldn’t get him out of her mind. No one else could catch her eye anymore.

That was why she applied for a transfer to Nan City University, hoping to be the first to catch the moon by staying close to the water.

However, Wang Bing also knew that making a rash approach towards Huo Yingjie would be fruitless, just like the time at the hospital entrance when she pretended to fall, and Huo Yingjie, as if he had seen nothing, walked away with an easy grace.

Since it was not easy to approach Huo Yingjie directly, she decided to start with He Tiantian instead.

Since time immemorial, it has been said that heroes have a weakness for beauty, giving rise to another saying, "Beauty is a woman’s curse."

Being beautiful was both He Tiantian’s advantage and her disadvantage.

Some men would do anything for a beautiful woman.

As long as a seed of doubt was planted in Huo Yingjie’s mind, that seed would sooner or later grow into a towering tree.

Wang Bing and Qin Li were eating in the cafeteria when they overheard two girls at the next table discussing the very person Wang Bing was constantly thinking about—Huo Yingjie.

"Feng Qingqing, you’re the talented beauty of our chemistry department, from a good family, and you have so many admirers. Why do you still look so troubled?" one of the girls, her face adorned with a few freckles, whispered, clearly puzzled by her good friend’s worries.

Feng Qingqing furrowed her brow and sighed, "Wu Xiaofang, you wouldn’t understand."

Wu Xiaofang scratched her head and said, "Of course I won’t understand if you don’t tell me, but if you do, I will."

"Alas, we met too late." Feng Qingqing’s sigh fully conveyed her current thoughts.

Wu Xiaofang still didn’t get it and shook her head, saying, "I don’t understand."

"You wouldn’t understand," Feng Qingqing said. "Ah, the good men are already married; what a pity!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaofang’s eyes widened as she thought of their classmate Huo Yingjie and said, "You... you don’t have a crush on Huo Yingjie, do you?"

"What if I do?" Feng Qingqing said, "What if I don’t, anyway, he’s already married."

"Yeah, just remember that he’s married," Wu Xiaofang said. "Besides, there are so many outstanding men in the school; there’s bound to be someone better than Huo Yingjie. Don’t hang yourself on a tree that already has an owner."

Feng Qingqing sighed again and voiced her lament, "There’s no man better than Huo Yingjie anymore..."

Those words also echoed the sentiments in Wang Bing’s heart.

Feng Qingqing, wasn’t she Feng Qiaoqiao’s cousin?

Looking at Feng Qiaoqiao’s youthful and delicately fair face, envy rose within Wang Bing’s heart.

How wonderful it is to be young!

One could freely express whatever was in their heart, but she couldn’t.

Seeing her cousin’s expression change repeatedly, Qin Li felt a touch of worry, but as the younger family member, she couldn’t very well chastise her own cousin, especially about something as important as marriage. She decided to speak privately to her mother that evening, suggesting she continue to help introduce potential suitors to her cousin whenever she had the time.

Perhaps once a woman is married and has children, she might settle down.

That meal was tasteless for Wang Bing; her mind was preoccupied with other matters. She thought she had hidden it well and didn’t notice the confusion and sadness in her cousin’s eyes.
