1979: My fiancée is a goddess

They didn't linger for too long in the morning; around nine o'clock, the young couple was starving.

Cheng Kaiyan took a quick three-minute shower and then gave it to Liu Xiaoli.

After cleaning up the house, I quickly made two bowls of vegetable and lean meat noodles and two poached eggs for each person.

It was almost ten o'clock when the two finished their meal.

"Xiaoli, I've started working at Beijing Normal University. Do you want to come?"

Cheng Kaiyan picked up her briefcase, intending to go out, and asked.

"No need, I'm so tired. I'll go to sleep after you leave and I've digested my food."

Liu Xiaoli leaned back on the sofa, humming weakly. Her face was fair with a rosy glow, and her eyes and brows held a lingering afterglow and allure.

"If you're really too tired, don't go to class this afternoon. I'll ask for leave for you later."

Cheng Kaiyan walked up to the girl and gently stroked her hair, speaking softly.

"No need, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head; her body's recovery ability was quite strong.

"I'm leaving now. You can take the bus to school by yourself later."

Cheng Kaiyan didn't insist and turned to leave.

"Phew...finally left."

The girl on the sofa finally breathed a sigh of relief; she was afraid that this bastard would continue to bully her.

……

Light gray clouds hung overhead, and the rain had already lightened considerably, consisting of tiny raindrops.

Like cow hair, it lands on you and is blown away in a moment.

The streets remained bustling despite the rain, with pedestrians holding umbrellas to shield themselves from the wind and rain as they purchased daily necessities from various shops and stalls.

"Jingle Bell!"

Cheng Kaiyan rode her bicycle on the fairly wide street, enjoying the cool breeze.

Because I didn't bring an umbrella and was late for work, I was walking rather hurriedly on the scooter.

As I passed by the Xinhua Bookstore, my excellent hearing immediately picked up several distinct words.

He stopped and turned to look.

"Look at the People's Daily! Professor Cheng Kaiyan is in the People's Daily again! The headline is 'Heroes Emerge from Among the Young: His Brand-New Theory Shocks America!'"

"That's nothing! They were featured in the New York Times! Do you even know what the New York Times is? It covers so many countries around the world!"

"real or fake?"

"As expected of Teacher Cheng Kaiyan, her works are not only widely popular in China, but they are also so popular in the United States. Americans are buying them up like crazy!"

"What does this show? It shows that although our material conditions are not as good as theirs, our spiritual nourishment is abundant and superior, and we are in no way inferior to them!"

"That's it!"

"That's not all. What's most shocking is that Professor Cheng's paper has caused a sensation in the American academic community, creating a huge uproar! Even the top scholars in the field of children's literature theory research in the United States are ashamed of their own!"

"What does this show? It shows that under Professor Cheng Kaiyan's guidance, our children's literature research has surpassed that of the United States!"

"Comrade Cheng Kaiyan has brought glory to the country! We should drink a big toast to him!"

"Well said! A hero who brings glory to the country!"

A group of young literary enthusiasts in their twenties and thirties gathered in small groups, holding newspapers, their faces flushed with excitement, as they discussed the subject.

Material scarcity has led young people today to have exceptionally high spiritual aspirations.

Their spiritual pursuits prioritize bringing glory to the nation.

However, in this era, such acts of bringing glory to the country are extremely rare.

Even if Cheng Kaiyan's achievements are only outstanding in the academic field, which has shocked many American scholars and prompted them to conduct research.

But how could it not shock young people, or even make them idols to worship?
Cheng Kaiyan never expected things to turn out this way.

I didn't bother to stop and listen to the young people's effusive praise, nor did I squeeze in to buy a newspaper. I rode my bicycle and arrived at Beijing Normal University in the blink of an eye.

Park the car and go upstairs.

There were many teachers and students who had just finished class in the corridor. Cheng Kaiyan walked past them quietly.

But a sharp-eyed long-haired female student still spotted it and excitedly waved and shouted, "Good morning, Teacher Cheng! I saw the article in the People's Daily! You're amazing!"

"Oh? Comrade Cheng Kaiyan is here?"

This shout drew the attention of everyone in the corridor.

There's probably only one young person in the whole country who has become famous abroad and even made it into the New York Times.
Good morning, everyone.

Cheng Kaiyan simply smiled gently and waved to everyone, "I'm just passing by. Everyone go about your business and don't delay yourselves. I'll be going now."

"He's really low-key. I thought this young man would be quite proud and arrogant."

Some of the older teachers, who hadn't liked Cheng Kaiyan before, were now attracted by the young woman's calm and composed demeanor. "That's right, that's what you call high-achieving yet humble. I've hardly ever seen her at school. Didn't I hear she was filming a movie?"

Someone echoed.

Although the event didn't really become a big deal, everyone still discussed with great interest its impact and repercussions both domestically and internationally, especially abroad.

Back in the office, I pushed open the door and went inside.

As expected, Cheng Kaiyan spotted two women.

"Jiajia, you've been coming in quite often lately. Don't you have any classes lately?"

Cheng Kaiyan looked speechlessly at the refined young woman who was sitting steadily in her seat, flipping through a science and engineering textbook.

"Do we know each other that well? Call me by my full name. Besides, I don't want someone who disappears every now and then, leaving their aunt alone in the office."

Ning Wanjia snorted coldly and retorted without turning her head.

“I’ve found that if I really separate you two, you’ll start arguing the moment you see each other.”

The beautiful woman behind the desk held her forehead, her face a mixture of helplessness and relief.

"We were just kidding."

The two young people smiled without saying a word. With them around these past few days, Auntie felt like she was about to melt from all the noise.

It's good that you've put on makeup!

My aunt is indifferent to others, but she's become a bit bland towards the three people closest to her, and that's not right.

"Congratulations, Xiao Yan, you've been featured in the People's Daily again."

Jiang Ting tapped the table with her fingers and offered her congratulations with a faint smile.

"congratulations."

Ning Wanjia cupped her hands in a perfunctory manner, showing no sincerity whatsoever.

"Happy together."

Cheng Kaiyan took their congratulations to heart and nodded with a smile: "Let's eat out for lunch today, it's on me."

“Okay, okay! Auntie, let me tell you, he might make hundreds of thousands of US dollars this time, so don’t be polite with him.”

Ning Wanjia happily agreed, saying she was almost sick of eating in the cafeteria every day lately.

"Are there that many? I haven't really cared about these. I don't love money. Money is just a number to me."

Cheng Kaiyan glanced at the girl. To be honest, since he earned tens of millions of yen in Japan, he had more money than he could ever spend, so he didn't really care how much money he made.

After all, so much money is tied up in the country with no use for it.

"Heh... Look at how smug you are, you don't love money? Then you can have it all!"

Ning Wanjia was speechless at his Versailles-like remarks, which infuriated her, and the girl immediately retorted.

"Alas... those who know me say I am worried, those who do not know me ask what I seek."

Cheng Kaiyan didn't refute, but instead recited a poem, showing off his erudition. Ordinary people could no longer understand his current level of understanding.

Sadly.

He nudged Ning Wanjia, trying to get her to give up her seat, but she ignored him.

Cheng Kaiyan had no choice but to go outside and bring in a stool, sit down next to her aunt, and continue revising "Atonement".

At noon, the three of them went to a restaurant in Beitaipingzhuang.

Cheng Kaiyan treated everyone to a meal, but Ning Wanjia ripped her off.

The three of them were eating, and this girl ordered six dishes, all of them elaborate dishes. She even said she would pack up the leftovers to take home.

It roughly means not leaving a single needle or thread for evil capitalists.

"I won't fight you for it, I'll take some back for my wife to eat."

Sure enough, the two started arguing after dinner.

Cheng Kaiyan was quick-witted and packed some to take back to feed Xiaoli, who was sleeping in at home and was eagerly waiting to be fed.

In short, time flies.

I usually spend my time with my aunt after get off work, revising her articles.

There's always this arrogant and beautiful young lady around him, bickering and arguing with him. But she's good-looking, and Cheng Kaiyan's feelings for her fluctuate between being annoying and not annoying.

When I got home in the evening, I spent some intimate time with Xiaoli.

Before I knew it, it was Saturday.

Early in the morning, Ning Wanjia rode her bicycle to Tuanjiehu.

Thankfully, this girl and Sister Xiaoli didn't have a fight; on the contrary, they were quite like fair-weather friends.

After having a cup of tea, the two went to Minister Lin's house for a simple meal. They ate and drank to their hearts' content and were very satisfied.

Furthermore, Cheng Kaiyan should also assume the position of vice president of the association and take the lead in development plans. (End of Chapter)
