Previously, Su Zhaozhao had been worried that she might suddenly return to her original world one day. If that happened, she thought it might be better to leave a child behind for Xie Huaizheng.

But now, she no longer had to worry about potentially transmigrating back, yet she still wanted to have a child with Xie Huaizheng.

But that was something to think about after she graduated from university.

When the semester began, both Xie Huaizheng and Huang Jiqin helped Su Zhaozhao move her luggage to the university.

Since the national college entrance exams had only recently been reinstated, many of the students were working adults, resulting in a wide range of ages.

Students like Su Zhaozhao, who were already married, weren’t uncommon.

But when Xie Huaizheng and Su Zhaozhao appeared on campus, they still drew countless stares.

Everyone stared at the handsome man and beautiful woman before them, their eyes filled with admiration.

It was an appreciation for beauty.

It was already rare to see someone so good-looking, let alone two of them together!

Some even wondered if Su Zhaozhao and Xie Huaizheng were celebrities who had come to the university for a film shoot.

After all, they were just too attractive; it was rare to see people this beautiful in real life.

Su Zhaozhao was taken aback by all the stares. She looked at Xie Huaizheng and said, “Why do I feel like we’re monkeys in a zoo?”

Indeed, all the attention was making her a little uncomfortable.

While people had noticed her and Xie Huaizheng before, there had never been this many.

“Hey, hey, you’re so pretty! Are you interested in joining our drama club? You could perform on stage. Who knows, you might be the next big star!”

An enthusiastic girl ran up and handed Su Zhaozhao a flyer.

In this era, these student clubs were all newly established and in desperate need of new members.

If a beautiful student like Su Zhaozhao joined their club, wouldn’t that be a huge boost for their publicity?

It would let them rise above all the other clubs!

In short, she was incredibly excited.

Besides, with Su Zhaozhao’s looks, she was perfect for playing the female lead!

However, when she saw the frosty man next to Su Zhaozhao, her eyes lit up again.

“This guy is great, too! Would you like to join our club as well?”

Xie Huaizheng was certainly handsome, but he was so cold he gave off an unapproachable aura.

This made her a little intimidated.

But, for the future of her club, she had to muster her courage.

Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Xie Huaizheng. “Do you want to join?”

Xie Huaizheng coldly told the girl, “Sorry, my wife isn’t interested.”

With that, he grabbed Su Zhaozhao’s hand and quickly walked away toward the dorms.

Along the way, they were approached by many other enthusiastic clubs trying to recruit new members. Of course, Xie Huaizheng was too cold, so they all targeted Su Zhaozhao.

As for Su Zhaozhao, seeing Xie Huaizheng’s icy expression, she could only turn them down.

‘This guy, is he getting jealous again?’

She wasn’t particularly interested in clubs like these anyway. Back in university, she had joined quite a few, so she had already experienced that novelty. There was no need to do it all over again.

Besides, she wanted to have more free time in the future to focus on her studies and perhaps start a business.

As far as Su Zhaozhao was concerned, student clubs were something you just had to experience once. Since she already had, there was no point.

She looked at Xie Huaizheng and tugged his hand. “Darling, are you jealous?”

Xie Huaizheng snorted coldly. “Are you going to have a lot of suitors at school from now on?”

“I probably won’t be on campus much outside of class, so you can relax.”

Su Zhaozhao felt a bit helpless in the face of Xie Huaizheng’s possessiveness.

Fortunately, the university she chose was more focused on liberal arts, so there were more girls here.

Not to mention the major she had chosen, which was a pure humanities program.

“But, Zhaozhao, I’m still worried.” Xie Huaizheng looked at the vibrant young woman before him; she didn’t look like a married woman at all.

Her smile was like a blossoming flower, and her eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.

In the sunlight, her fair skin had a rosy glow, making her incredibly beautiful.

But he couldn’t stand guard over her, nor did he want to. He didn’t want to restrict Su Zhaozhao’s freedom.

‘But what can I do?’

‘If she has a lot of suitors, I’ll really get jealous.’

“Xie Huaizheng, don’t be like this. What if I dress down and make myself look plain? Would that work?”

“No! You’re so beautiful, why would you dress plainly?” Xie Huaizheng said at once. “Besides, you have such a fascinating soul. Anyone who spends enough time with you will easily fall in love with you.”

Hearing Xie Huaizheng’s words, Su Zhaozhao didn’t know what to do either.

“Then you tell me, what should we do?”

At her words, Xie Huaizheng glanced at the people around them. Quite a few were still staring.

Xie Huaizheng reached out, took Su Zhaozhao’s hand, and pulled her into his arms.

The sudden embrace left Su Zhaozhao stunned.

The people around them gasped in shock.

Although social attitudes were becoming more liberal and university students were more open-minded, this kind of public display of affection still shocked them.

‘No way, no way… Did he really just hug her like that?’

Everyone else was utterly astonished.

Su Zhaozhao’s eyes widened as she stared at the man holding her. After a long moment, Xie Huaizheng finally let her go.

“There, Zhaozhao. I imagine a good portion of the school now knows you’re taken,” he said, the corners of his thin lips curving into a slight smile.

A portion of them was enough. After all, with Su Zhaozhao’s outstanding looks, she was bound to become a topic of conversation.

Then, if anyone wanted to confess to Su Zhaozhao, they would surely know she was already with someone.

‘Yes, it’s a good thing this era isn’t as open as Su Zhaozhao’s. He’d heard before that in Su Zhaozhao’s world, many people who liked someone were willing to be the “other person” or even try to steal them away. That kind of thing wasn’t acceptable in this era. In serious cases, you could even be sentenced to prison. Not to mention they had a military marriage. That gave his relationship an extra layer of protection.’

Xie Huaizheng was suddenly very grateful to his grandfather. The old man had been so farsighted back then, sending him to the barracks to become a soldier!

Nearby, Huang Jiqin watched Xie Huaizheng’s domineering display and shook her head.

It was the first time she had seen this side of Xie Huaizheng, but it was a good thing. It was far better for him to have a girl he loved than to be lost and aimless like before.

They arrived at the dormitory, where they helped Su Zhaozhao make her bed, wipe down the cabinet and desk, and put away her luggage. They also greeted all of her new roommates.

After they had dinner, it was time for them to leave Su Zhaozhao at the university by herself.

Xie Huaizheng couldn’t bear to leave, so he told Huang Jiqin to go home first while he stayed to walk around the campus with Su Zhaozhao, not leaving until eight o’clock at night.

When he returned home and saw the empty room, still filled with the scent of jasmine from Su Zhaozhao, he realized just how much he hated to be parted from her.

He could only hope that these next four years of university would pass quickly.
