80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

After Huo Qingyan entered the ward, Wang Yiming repeated what he had said to Lin Yue.

As a friend, Huo Qingyan could understand him, but as Huo Qingxia's brother, he still sided with his sister.

After all, it was Wang Yiming who was determined to be with Huo Qingxia, and now the two of them were already discussing marriage. He just wanted to forget about it and call it a day.

Thinking of how heartbroken Qingxia had been crying just now, Huo Qingyan was furious.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yiming had just been injured, he would have wanted to punch him.

"Take a look at your injury first. We'll talk about this after you've healed."

Wang Yiming wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly. He had already told Chang Yanran earlier that day that he wanted to be with her, "But Brother Yan, Yanran and I..."

Huo Qingyan interrupted him in an unpleasant tone, "There are no buts. If you dare to cheat on me at this time, I won't let you off the hook."

Wang Yiming usually acts carefree and irresponsible, but he genuinely treats Huo Qingyan like a brother and doesn't want to damage their brotherhood because of romantic issues.

"Brother Yan, don't be angry. I promise you I'll take good care of my injury and I promise I won't contact anyone during this time."

Huo Qingyan glared at him, annoyed. "Qingxia is the one you cried and begged to find. Even if you don't like her anymore, it's not something that can be resolved with just a few words."

You've lost your memory and fallen for someone else, so you're going to abandon her. But once you regain your memory, you'll shamelessly come back to her.

You're a grown man; you can't treat matters of the heart like a game. This is about being responsible to others, and also about being responsible to yourself.

Wang Yiming knew it was his fault and nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Chang Yanran was also unable to calm down after returning from the hospital.

"I never realized Professor Chen was such a romantic. No wonder he's usually so aloof from women. He always avoids female teachers and students who come to him. We all thought he was detached from worldly affairs, but it turns out he's already taken."

"You're saying that going out to do research is paid on an annual salary basis? Doesn't Professor Chen feel any regret?"

"What's there to regret? Professor Chen can get paid just by publishing a paper, and he can get a lot of bonuses just by getting a research patent."

"Professor Chen's wife is so lucky! Such a handsome and talented husband, gentle and considerate, and not a womanizer. She really wants to steal him away!"

"Go back, wash up, and go to bed."

Why are you sleeping so early?

"Go to bed early so you can dream better. You have no idea how many people are lining up to dream."

"You think Professor Chen is really a paragon of virtue?"

"Who knows?"

Chen Wenjie lectured eloquently on the podium, while the students below chatted enthusiastically about his gossip.

After class, Chen Wenjie rode his bicycle directly to the market to buy groceries, planning to make squirrel fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and stir-fried shrimp with bamboo shoots.

Xiaoyu must be craving meat, she hasn't had any for two days.

After returning home, he first watered the flowers on the balcony, then fed the fish in the fish tank, and then hung the clothes out of the washing machine before going into the kitchen to cook.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang. Chen Wenjie turned off the stove in the clay pot where he was simmering soup and hurried to open the door.

Qiu Xiaoyu walked in with a smile, "I'm back."

"Mm," Chen Wenjie replied with a smile.

Seeing Chen Wenjie's pink apron, Qiu Xiaoyu put down the bag in her hand. "Are you cooking? Actually, I can open the door myself."

Chen Wenjie smiled at her, "No need, this is how it feels to be home. Go wash your hands and change your clothes, dinner will be ready soon."

"Ok."

Watching Qiu Xiaoyu walk into the dressing room, Chen Wenjie's lips curled up slightly. He was satisfied with the simple greetings, the polite conversation, and the respectful interactions.

Chen Wenjie took out the dessert he bought that afternoon, a strawberry soufflé, from the refrigerator. He had tried to make it several times but failed. He decided to find a dessert shop to learn how to make it.

As Qiu Xiaoyu changed her clothes and came out, the kittens in the living room crawled out from behind the curtains. One, two, three of them ran to her feet and rubbed against her pants and slippers.

"Steamed buns, dumplings, potatoes, do you want a hug? Were you good today? Did you destroy Daddy's model?"

Qiu Xiaoyu squatted down and scratched Potato's chin. Mantou pushed Potato away in a huff and stretched out his own chin. Baozi stepped directly on Mantou.

The three kittens were playing together. "Don't fight, Mommy will eat first, and then I'll play with you."

She took three small dried fish from the coffee table cabinet, put them on the floor, and then went into the kitchen. "What did you make? It smells so good."

"Squirrel fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and bamboo shoots stir-fried with shrimp."

"Great! I'm starving. We had a long meeting today." Qiu Xiaoyu said, carrying a rib and stuffing it into her mouth as she walked.

"It's so delicious." He said, his words coming out in broken sentences.

She stuffed another piece of pork rib into her mouth, chewing as she returned to the kitchen to get the fish, saying, "Your cooking is getting better and better."

Wenjie was serving rice when he heard Qiu Xiaoyu's praise, and the corners of his mouth curved up again.

"Eat more if you like it. Playing with them will also take up energy."

"Okay, I've finished all my work for today. I don't need to rush to finish any copywriting. I'll play with them for a while, then watch a movie. Do you need to prepare your lesson?"

"Not today."

"Okay, let's go see a movie together. I heard there's a new comedy coming out."

"it is good."

After finishing their meal, Qiu Xiaoyu was about to clear the dishes when Chen Wenjie looked at the three little ones who were already lined up waiting and said with a smile, "I'll clean up. You go and play with them; they're getting impatient."

The three little guys put the cat toy and the ball on the living room floor and pushed the ring toss aside.

Chen Wenjie quickly tidied up the kitchen and then took the soufflé to the living room.

Seeing Qiu Xiaoyu kneeling on the ground playing with the kitten, he frowned and said, "Let's have some dessert."

"Hmm, Mommy's going to eat something delicious now, aren't you envious?" The kitten was too busy chewing on the little ball in its mouth to pay attention to anyone.

Chen Wenjie sat down on one side of the sofa and turned on the TV. "What's the name of that movie?"

Qiu Xiaoyu knelt beside the coffee table, eating her soufflé with a satisfied expression. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It seems to be called Thelma & Louise."

"Come sit on the sofa, the floor is cold."

"It's alright." Although she said it was alright, she cooperated by obediently sitting on the other side of the sofa.

She scooped out a spoonful of soufflé and handed it to Chen Wenjie, saying, "Try it, this shop's is delicious, better than the one you bought yesterday."

Chen Wenjie leaned forward and naturally put the food in his mouth. Qiu Xiaoyu looked at him with teary eyes, "How is it?"

"It is too sweet."

Qiu Xiaoyu smiled and scooped a spoonful into her mouth, saying, "It tastes better when it's sweet."

Watching Qiu Xiaoyu put the spoon in her mouth, Chen Wenjie couldn't help but swallow hard and secretly turned his head to smile, because she was sharing a spoon with him so naturally.

"Haha, that's hilarious."

"Haha, he's so stingy."

Qiu Xiaoyu had a low threshold for laughter and laughed heartily during the movie, even laughing until she cried. Chen Wenjie, on the other hand, seemed to be watching the movie, but his entire attention was actually on Qiu Xiaoyu.

By the end, he had no idea what the movie was about; all he knew was that Qiu Xiaoyu was laughing adorably, and he handed her a tissue when she laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Qiu Xiaoyu took the tissue, wiped away her tears, and turned to ask Chen Wenjie, "Isn't it funny?"

Chen Wenjie responded casually, "Funny."

"If you were the male protagonist, what wish would you want to fulfill in your final days?"

"Stay at home," Chen Wenjie added in his mind, "and be with you."

Chen Wenjie's emotions had always been stable, and he was indifferent to everything, which Qiu Xiaoyu had long been used to.

"Me too, I just want to get some sleep."
