CHAPTER 475: CHAPTER 477: WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE WITH MY BELOVED?

God knows Yu Shijie wanted to get the marriage certificate right away and then head straight to the bridal room. Having been single for too long, he finally got the beauty, Yu Shijie could hardly wait, right now, immediately.

Yang Xuehua’s face blushed slightly, feeling that agreeing to Yu Shijie was the most impulsive thing she had ever done, but seeing his excited smile, Yang Xuehua’s mood also rose.

"Just wait, I will go back and submit the report right away," Yu Shijie said before running off again.

Not long after, Yang Xuehua came over to Xia Xiao with a flushed face. Xia Xiao was very happy for Yang Xuehua, "Sister Xuehua, you will definitely be happy."

Yang Xuehua nodded earnestly, "I will also try hard to make myself happy."

Xia Xiao could not help but hug Yang Xuehua, also hoping that Yang Xuehua and Yu Shijie would have a blissful and happy life together.

Because of different majors and departments, Xia Xiao and Yang Xuehua did not study together.

Instead, Luo Mingzhe and Yang Xuehua were from the same department, and they often bumped into each other. Yang Xuehua practically ignored Luo Mingzhe, but Luo Mingzhe still paid attention to her.

"Xuehua," one day after class, Luo Mingzhe couldn’t help but call out to Yang Xuehua.

Yang Xuehua did not respond and simply walked away.

Luo Mingzhe stood there stunned, watching Yang Xuehua leave. He hadn’t expected her to completely ignore him, and Luo Mingzhe didn’t know quite how to feel about it.

The next day, Luo Mingzhe called out to Yang Xuehua again, and she still ignored him. However, Luo Mingzhe was always looking out for Yang Xuehua, to the point of annoying her. If she had known Luo Mingzhe would choose this major, she definitely wouldn’t have.

"Mr. Luo, you are a married man, could you please stay away from me?" Yang Xuehua finally couldn’t help but confront Luo Mingzhe.

"Xuehua, I just want to take care of you." Luo Mingzhe felt Yang Xuehua was too difficult, too pitiful, and felt quite guilty towards her. He didn’t regret calling off their engagement, but since they had grown up together, he felt he should take care of Yang Xuehua, help her out.

Yang Xuehua was outright disgusted, scoffing, "Please don’t. The best way you can ’take care’ of me, Luo the talented scholar, is to stay away from me."

Yang Xuehua turned and went to find Xia Xiao, completely unable to stand such a person.

Xia Xiao had also finished her class and was preparing to leave with Yang Xuehua when she unexpectedly came over.

"What’s wrong? You look upset, did that Luo Mingzhe find you again?" Xia Xiao asked.

"Exactly, how did he become so disgusting? He used to be bearable," Yang Xuehua couldn’t comprehend how Luo Mingzhe had changed so much. They had grown up together, childhood sweethearts, and in Yang Xuehua’s heart, Luo Mingzhe was pretty decent. Even when Luo Mingzhe ultimately called off the engagement to be with Liu Yue, although Yang Xuehua felt angry and resentful, she didn’t feel as disgusted as she did now.

"Why bother with him? When Yu Shijie comes, have him come to the school for you, Luo Mingzhe will back off then." Although Luo Mingzhe looked presentable and was well-spoken, a literary young man, Yu Shijie was not any less remarkable: family background, appearance, stature, credentials—far outstripped Luo Mingzhe.

"Do you think the marriage application could be rejected?" Yang Xuehua was a bit worried. Since the last time Yu Shijie said he was going to submit the marriage application, he hadn’t appeared.

"Definitely not, there must be something going on at the school, Brother Gao hasn’t come back either," Xia Xiao said.

That comment comforted Yang Xuehua somewhat. After all, Gao Jiaxing hadn’t returned either; there must be something going on at the military academy.

Not just Yang Xuehua, even Xia Xiao had her own troubles. Perhaps because of her well-kept appearance, although Xia Xiao was thirty-something and had five children, she looked no more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old, without the slightest sign of having given birth.

Being a national top scholar and so outstandingly beautiful, Xia Xiao was like a vibrant, beautiful flower at First University, indeed the school’s belle.

That made Xia Xiao very noticeable, with many coming to strike up conversations, longing to pursue her.

Everyone at First University had some talent or another. Although many were married, there were also many singles, and not just a few were pursuing Yang Xuehua, let alone Xia Xiao.

Thus, Xia Xiao was thinking that when Gao Jiaxing came to visit her, all these people would know to back off. Otherwise, when she told them that she was a military wife with five children, no one believed her, thinking Xia Xiao was lying.

Unfortunately, Gao Jiaxing and Yu Shijie were in assessments and couldn’t come back for the time being.

Xia Xiao was alright; she could handle the suitors. Yang Xuehua, on the other hand, had to deal with an overly enthusiastic Luo Mingzhe, who even went so far as to actively introduce potential partners to Yang Xuehua, nearly driving her mad.

"Luo Mingzhe, aren’t you disgusting?" Yang Xuehua couldn’t help but lash out, her temper usually quite good, but Luo Mingzhe’s behavior had truly crossed a line for her. Even a clay figurine has a 3-point temper, much less a person.

"Xuehua, I just want to help you," Luo Mingzhe said.

"Get lost, go away," Yang Xuehua snapped, her face turning iron blue.

The classmates watching the exchange between Luo Mingzhe and Yang Xuehua were perplexed, thinking Yang Xuehua was too arrogant. Surely, this wasn’t something to get so angry about.

"Xuehua," at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, surprising everyone. They turned to see a striking military officer, pausing in awe.

Upon seeing Yu Shijie, Yang Xuehua let out a breath and smiled at Yu Shijie, "How come you’re here?"

"I had some free time, so I came to pick you up," Yu Shijie said with a slight smile.

Luo Mingzhe’s eyes widened as he asked Yu Shijie, "Who are you?"

"Comrade, may I know how you’ve upset my better half?" Yu Shijie asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had come with Gao Jay, having heard from Xia Xiao about Yang Xuehua being bothered by her former fiancé.

"Better half, you’re married?" Luo Mingzhe was shocked.

Yang Xuehua scoffed, "Am I, Yang Xuehua, someone who can’t get married? Hah, Luo Mingzhe, ever since you broke off the engagement to be with Liu Yue over ten years ago, we’ve had nothing to do with each other. You two have true love, and I wish you well, but please, keep your distance from me. Don’t pretend to have my best interests at heart. You are not mine. Just stick to your own path," she said.

With that, Yu Shijie said to Yang Xuehua, "Let’s go."

Yang Xuehua hummed lightly, gathered her textbooks, and left with Yu Shijie without giving Luo Mingzhe another glance.
