That evening, Su Nan suggested having a barbecue in the yard, and everyone readily agreed. Self-sufficiency is key, and the skewers Gu Chen handed her were surprisingly delicious. Yu Nuan was astonished that these boys, who seemed unable to cook, were quite skilled at barbecuing. None of the three girls present had to lift a finger, and food was continuously brought to the table.

Everyone gathered around, enjoying barbecue and beer, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Yu Nuan thought she would remember this wonderful evening for many years to come. Yu Nuan was very happy to have met such a group of friends since coming into this world. Caught up in the atmosphere, Yu Nuan also had a few drinks. Eventually, Yu Nuan felt a little tipsy. While the others were still chatting and laughing, Yu Nuan quietly got up and went to the beach not far from the courtyard to feel the sea breeze and dispel her drunkenness.

Gu Chen's voice came from behind, "Nuan Nuan".

"Why are you following me?"

I'm worried about leaving you alone.

Gu Chen's blunt words left Yu Nuan speechless. Yu Nuan had always known that Gu Chen liked her, but before, she didn't want to be in a relationship too early, partly because she wanted to focus on her studies and partly because she didn't want to worry her parents.

The two walked forward in silence. Suddenly, Gu Chen quickly moved in front of Yu Nuan. Yu Nuan looked at him in confusion, about to ask a question, but was startled by Gu Chen's words.

"Nuan Nuan, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Yu Nuan stared at Gu Chen without saying a word, and Gu Chen's nervousness was obvious at this moment.

Just as Gu Chen was feeling disappointed, Yu Nuan said softly, "Okay."

Overwhelmed with surprise, Gu Chen wondered if he had misheard and asked uncertainly, "Nuan Nuan, you've agreed to be my girlfriend?"

Yu Nuan smiled and nodded. She knew about Gu Chen's care for her over the years. In fact, Yu Nuan knew that she also liked Gu Chen, which was why she accepted his care so readily.

Gu Chen happily hugged Yu Nuan tightly, as if she were his most precious treasure. Yu Nuan looked at the rising moon in the distance; the moonlight tonight was truly beautiful.

On their way back, everyone stared at the two people's tightly clasped hands. They were stunned at first, then burst into screams.

"Brother, you and Nuannuan..."

"We're together now." Gu Chen raised his tightly clasped hands and happily announced to everyone.

Gu Qing ran over and hugged Yu Nuan. "Nuan Nuan, this is so great! You finally agreed to my brother's request." Her joy was palpable.

The others gently patted Gu Chen's shoulder, "Brother, congratulations, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

Everyone could see Gu Chen's affection for Yu Nuan. It had remained unchanged all these years.

During the rest of the trip, their feelings for each other deepened rapidly. Among the group, there was already a lovey-dovey couple, and now there was Gu Chenyu Nuan and her partner. They were practically showering us with PDA all the time. Even Su Xi, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but complain, "Can you two couples consider us single people?"

“Exactly, exactly. I wish all couples would just disappear from my sight right now,” Zhou Yu echoed.

Yu Nuan smiled shyly at the teasing.

After everyone finished their trip, the college entrance examination results were released. Yu Nuan's performance remained stable, ranking second in the entire school. Of course, Su Xi was still in first place. Gu Qing's results were also good, ranking fourth in the entire school. Their scores all reached the admission score for Imperial University.

Yu Nuan had already decided on her future major: Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When university started, Yu Nuan, Gu Qing, and Su Xi made an appointment to go together. The three families also got along quite well because of their children.

After getting off the plane, Gu Chen and Lin Yu were already waiting outside. The two handsome guys standing together were quite eye-catching, and Yu Nuan saw her brother and Gu Chen as soon as she came out.

She hadn't told her parents about her relationship yet, so she messaged Gu Chen to tell him not to reveal it later.

Gu Chen received the message and was somewhat dissatisfied. Was he really that inadequate? However, he still listened to Yu Nuan.

Lin Yu glanced at Gu Chen. In fact, the two had only met a few times, but Lin Yu could sense Gu Chen's feelings for his sister. He just didn't know if they were together or not, but that didn't stop him from disliking Gu Chen.

Mr. Lin planned to go home first, and then take Yu Nuan to school. When they parted, Mr. Lin invited everyone to go to Yu Nuan's grandparents' house, but everyone politely declined.

Yu Nuan and the others didn't stay long after returning home. By the time they arrived at school, Gu Qing and Su Xi had already registered. Gu Chen helped Yu Nuan with her registration. In the dormitory, Lin's mother and Gu Chen's mother helped make up Yu Nuan's bed. The registration for the new students was now complete.

Yu Nuan was reluctant to leave her parents and hugged her mother tightly. Yu Nuan had become accustomed to having her parents with her, and this sudden departure made her very uncomfortable.

"Okay, Mom promises to come see you often. If you need anything, call your brother or go to your grandparents. If you miss home, go back to your grandpa's house." Lin's mother was also reluctant to part with her daughter, but she knew that her daughter would have to leave their side one day.

"I know mom."

"Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of Yu Nuan at school," Gu Chen assured Lin's parents.

Lin's mother nodded, assuming that Yu Nuan was often with Gu Qing, so Gu Chen treated her like a younger sister.

After their parents left, Gu Chen took the three of them on a tour of the campus. Because Gu Qing was still keeping her relationship with Zheng Lin a secret from Gu Chen's parents, she refused to let him come this time.

Zheng Lin texted his girlfriend: "Your uncle and the others have left?"

Gu Qing: I'm gone.

Zheng Lin: Can I come find you now?

Gu Qing: School cafeteria.

Gu Chen was telling them which window in the cafeteria had the best food when Zheng Lin appeared.

After the meal, Su Xi wisely refrained from disturbing the two couples and went back to her dorm first.

The three of them didn't apply for any major this time, so it's impossible for them to be assigned to the same dormitory, or even on the same floor.

When Yu Nuan returned to her dorm, her other three roommates were already there. Yu Nuan had chosen a four-person dorm, thinking that fewer people would mean fewer conflicts. Yu Nuan was quite lucky; so far, her roommates were all easy to get along with.

"Hello, my name is Lin Yunuan."

Wu Xuan

Li Xin'ai

"Sun Fei".

The next day, after the counselor finished the class meeting, the military training that lasted for half a month began. Yu Nuan heard from her brother and Gu Chen that the military training at the Imperial University was very strict. Yu Nuan had never experienced it and had no concept of it. However, in the days that followed, Yu Nuan really felt that it would be the same even if she went to the army!

After the military training ended, Yu Nuan was so tired that she didn't want to move. When she met Gu Qing, Gu Qing was the same. Only Su Xi seemed to be fine.

Military training ended on Sunday. Gu Chen had bought a house during his freshman year, a large flat not far from the school. Today, Zhou Yu felt that since everyone was gathering in the capital, they had to have a meal together.

Yu Nuan didn't want to move, so Gu Chen called everyone to his house, and Zheng Lin called the restaurant to deliver food to their door.
