Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

After the initial excitement came even more intense and busy studying. Du Xiang was actually a little anxious. In both her past and present lives, she had devoted herself to this one thing to the extreme. Even in her previous life, when she was trying to live a better life, she had never worked this hard.

In the days leading up to the exam, I started having trouble sleeping. Sometimes, I would fall asleep in the middle of the night and suddenly remember something I wasn't sure about, so I would have to get up and flip through the book again.

Shi An saw this situation but was helpless to do anything about it.

Du Xiang is usually good-tempered and well-behaved, but when it comes to this matter, she gets really angry if anyone interferes with her studies.

There was no other way but to patiently try to coax her and distract her.

The weather turned bad before the exam; it started snowing heavily.

This didn't affect Du Xiang. With memories of her past life, she only remembered that she had already married Yu Minglang at that time. The two of them moved out of the educated youth settlement and rented an old house that no one else was using in the village.

Because of the snow, Yu Minglang didn't let her come with him to the exam; it was too cold. She stayed home and waited for him to come back.

Fortunately, the outcome was good in the end.

However, in this life, Shi An insisted and took leave to go with Du Xiang.

The night before, in the small hotel, Shi An stood quietly by without making a sound, letting Du Xiang give her final summary.

Seeing that it was almost time, I persuaded her to go to sleep.

The snow hadn't stopped by the next day when Du Xiang, bundled up in thick clothes, entered the examination hall. Her mindset, which had been tense for over a year, suddenly calmed down considerably.

Now that we've come this far, there's no use in getting nervous anymore.

Time ticked by, and she became more and more confident in her answers, while it was Shi An outside who was nervous.

But Du Xiang's expression remained unchanged after he left the examination hall.

After all the exams were over, Shi An led the person and looked at her discreetly. Du Xiang showed no unusual behavior.

He didn't ask any more questions about the exam.

Du Xiang didn't know how she felt. After more than a year of hardship, the result had suddenly come, and she felt somewhat empty.

After returning home, I looked at the walls covered with her notes, and I felt so tired that I slept soundly for days.

Du Xiang fell asleep and really didn't wake up, as if she wanted to make up for all the sleep she had missed over the past year.

For several days in a row, Shi An was also frightened, constantly checking to make sure that she did not have a fever or any other bad condition.

Fortunately, she was just physically and mentally exhausted.

Shi An wanted to clean up anything in the room related to studying, such as the densely packed things on the walls, because he was worried that it would put pressure on her, but Du Xiang didn't allow it.

She quite enjoys watching it.

Shi An never asked Du Xiang how she did on the exam, and Du Xiang even kept her college application a secret from him.

Judging from her demeanor, it's hard to tell whether she's confident or not.

Du Xiang was indeed still very anxious, but she was confident that she could get into university.

But she knew that she wanted more than just to pass the exam and go to school.

Whether it was the pent-up anger from her past life or the impact of her rebirth, it all solidified one thing in her mind: she could not be ordinary, she refused to be.

No matter what she does in this life, she's determined to make a name for herself.

Whether she chooses the path of academics or another, if she cannot do her best, then she has failed.

Du Xiang is indeed somewhat stubborn; you could say she has lofty ambitions, and so be it.

While waiting for her results, she didn't stay idle; she gathered some other books and started reading.

In a tense and anxious atmosphere, the notification letter arrived first on Shi An's desk.

Looking at the words "Joint Defense University" and "Weapons Engineering Major" on the sign, I felt a mix of emotions.

Meanwhile, Shi An received many congratulatory calls, not for any other reason than that Du Xiang had really done a great job this time.

She ranked first in this region.

He earned his first place through sheer hard work and dedication.

She happens to be a military dependent, and the school and major she chose are exactly what she is—she seems like a promising future talent with impeccable credentials.

Even Shi An benefited from this, as it could be used as a publicity stunt and an example for ideological education.

Du Xiang wasn't surprised when she received the admission notice; she had something else on her mind.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Shi An, "How were your grades?"

Seeing her expression, Shi An couldn't help but smile. "First place."

These words immediately triggered Du Xiang's emotions.

Whether she cried or laughed, this was the first complete success she had achieved since making her decision.

The road ahead is long, and she wasn't entirely sure, but courage is built up from repeated moments of self-confidence.

This is the first real success since my rebirth, the first time I have achieved something entirely on the path I impulsively chose, and the impact and excitement it brings are self-evident.

Du Xiang couldn't help but hug Shi An, crying and laughing at the same time.

Shi An was also infected by her joy and gently comforted her.

Du Xiang was still excited even when she went to bed that night.

"I'm so amazing, how can I be so amazing?"

They can't even appreciate themselves enough.

Shi An wholeheartedly agreed with her words; it wasn't just impressive, the number of people coming to congratulate them in the family compound was so great that it practically broke down the door. He just couldn't help but ask:

Why did you choose this school and major?

At first, Du Xiang was being secretive and wouldn't say anything, but kept saying she wanted to give him a surprise.

Du Xiang was puzzled by his question.

"Do you not like it?"

Shi An didn't mean it that way; he just hadn't expected her to make this choice and was worried that it might be too hard for her.

Another point is that it's under military-style management there, so there's not much freedom.

Personally speaking, he did not really want Du Xiang to take a difficult path.

"It's not that I dislike you, I'm just curious about your thoughts."

Someone asked about it earlier that day, and Du Xiang glanced at Shi An and said with great righteousness that she would protect everyone just like the soldiers here.

But Shi An knew she was just saying that to politely polite things.

Du Xiang had a hard life before, and later she always hoped to live a good life with Shi An. She was also often worried about his safety. She was kind-hearted and friendly to everyone, but she was especially kind to her husband.

The truth might be that she chose this path for him, rather than for everyone else.

Upon hearing this, Du Xiang snuggled closer and found a comfortable position to fall asleep.

The sound was low but very clear:

"I had this idea when I saw you in the hospital last time. Although I never know what mission you are on, or whether you will come back, I know that you are protecting many people. I also want to protect you. If one day... then don't worry, I can still protect many people for you."

Shi An's heart trembled as he listened to her words. Even though he knew that her choice might be related to him, hearing it with his own ears still made him feel an overwhelming surge of emotions.

The hardest thing to deal with in this world is "what if." There are too many uncertainties. His identity means she has to live in constant fear. Even if that "what if" happens, and she wants to protect everyone for him, what about her? Who will protect her?

Undoubtedly, Shi An liked Du Xiang. He had a good impression of her from the first time they met, and after getting to know her better after they got married, he couldn't help but like her even more.

But sometimes, the more you like something, the less you dare to think about it, whether it's about Du Xiang or this marriage.
