In a rented room off-campus, Mo Ying had just seen off her classmate and, on her way back, bought some vegetables from the market. She was now tying an apron to prepare dinner.

Humming a tune, she stirred the pan, showing that she was in a very good mood.

Mo Ying was quite satisfied with her current life. Although Yang Xiaowei had many flaws, he was still good to her. Her classmate, who had just left, had teased her with envy, saying she had caught a golden turtle son-in-law. Mo Ying found this very flattering.

She and Yang Xiaowei were no different from an ordinary young couple. A few days ago, Yang Xiaowei had confidently told her that he would take her home to meet his parents during the National Day holiday. A homely wife would eventually have to meet her mother-in-law, and besides, she wasn't ugly, so Mo Ying was in a state of inexplicable excitement.

"Ding ding..." The wind chime hanging on the door rang as Yang Xiaowei returned from outside. The first thing he did was to go into the bathroom to take a shower. Mo Ying knew he had been playing ball with his classmates and called out with a smile, "Hurry up, dinner is ready."

"Coming right away!"

Looking at the table full of dishes, Yang Xiaowei asked in surprise, "What's the occasion? Why so many dishes?"

Mo Ying smiled and said, "Aren't you participating in the dorm basketball tournament? It's tiring, so I made a few more dishes to replenish your energy."

"Wow, my wife is so good to me." Yang Xiaowei feigned being moved and made a move to pounce on her.

"Stop fooling around, eat your dinner first!"

After dinner, while tidying up the dishes, Mo Ying casually asked Yang Xiaowei, "The person I video-chatted with yesterday, was it really Su Yuan? Not her sister or something?"

"Who else could it be?" Yang Xiaowei, holding the TV remote, turned back and said.

Mo Ying was somewhat surprised, "But I remember Su Yuan is a boy, and the person I video-chatted with yesterday was clearly a girl!" Although she knew that the person she had video-chatted with was indeed the Su Yuan she remembered, the huge mystery hanging over her head had not diminished but rather intensified.

Yang Xiaowei chuckled, "I guess you're not the first to say that behind her back. To be honest, Su Yuan has changed a lot this semester. Sometimes I even doubt if she's a girl who infiltrated the boys' team."

"Then, how about we invite her out for a meal someday, and I'll verify it myself?" Mo Ying asked tentatively.

"That's not a good idea. You're my wife, and if she turns out to be a guy, I'll be the one who loses out..." Yang Xiaowei thought for a moment and shook his head repeatedly.

"You're so stingy!" Mo Ying scolded with a smile, but her expression was happy.

Since it was Friday, after returning from the anime club, Su Yuan headed to the Tang family's place after dinner. After a few days of tutoring, Su Yuan decided to give Tang Wen a more systematic assessment in math. She specifically chose the first and second-semester final exams from the first year of junior high for her to do.

Junior high math, especially the first year, is the foundation of the foundation, with not much difficulty in the questions. Tang Wen took an hour and a half to complete the test. Su Yuan took the test paper and went through each question, marking it with a pen. Afterward, she sighed, estimating that Tang Wen, who was only half-filled with knowledge, indeed only had half a bucket. Not a bit more!

She barely grasped the first-semester math, but the second semester was a bit shaky.

"Su Sister, how did I do?" Tang Wen pouted, her feet on the chair, her hands on the table, and her chest slightly protruding, the top of her blouse revealing a hint of her developing breasts.

"Cough, cough!" Su Yuan cleared her throat, pointing to her collar, subtly telling her, "You're showing too much."

To her surprise, the young girl noticed her chest but didn't seem to care, instead puffing out her chest defiantly and grinning foolishly.

Su Yuan had no idea what to do with such an unaware girl. She put on her teacher's demeanor, put down the test paper, and said sternly, "You scored 87 on the first test, which is barely passing."

"Oh! Yes!!" Tang Wen exclaimed, snapping her fingers.

"Hold on, don't get too excited yet!" Su Yuan's expression turned serious as she pointed to the second test, which only scored 55, "This score is too low. To be honest, I'm starting to feel the pressure."

Tang Wen's excitement vanished, and she pouted, "But I studied hard."

"Studying hard and still getting such a score means your brain isn't working well..."

"Um..."

"But I think I'm pretty smart!"

"Mature people never emphasize their maturity, while immature people always stress that they have grown up and are mature. Similarly, truly smart people, the more they delve into knowledge, the more they realize how small they are and how little they know. On the contrary, those who know a little about everything always think they know everything."

Hearing this, Tang Wen's face fell, and she said dejectedly, "Su Sister, don't discourage me, okay?"

Su Yuan chuckled, stopping at that point, "Alright, let me explain the questions you got wrong."

...

It was almost nine o'clock when Su Yuan left the residential area where Tang Wen lived. The sky was clear, and the night sky was like an endless sea, dotted with brilliant stars, quiet, vast, and mysterious.

It was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the bright moon hung in the sky like a silver disc, radiating a greenish glow.

The moon was beautiful, unusually clear and bright. Su Yuan pushed her bike and looked up at the night sky, marveling at the vast and magnificent scenery. Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she fell to the side with her bike.

With a light exclamation, the expected "wreckage" did not happen. At the critical moment, a pair of hands reached out from the side and firmly held her waist.

"Ah... thank you! Ye Hao, why is it you?" Su Yuan looked up and was surprised to see that the person who had caught her was Ye Hao.

Ye Hao looked at Su Yuan speechlessly, "You're too reckless, looking at the sky while walking. Is the sky that beautiful?"

Feeling both guilty and annoyed by Ye Hao's scolding, Su Yuan asked curiously, "Hey, why are you here?"

"I came to pick you up."

"Ah, pick me up?" Su Yuan looked at him with a very suspicious expression. Ye Hao cleared his throat, looked at her bike, and frowned, "Leave your bike here. Let's take a taxi back, and I'll pay."

"Okay." Although she was suspicious of his actions, Su Yuan wasn't foolish enough to ride her bike back. "Wait a moment, I'll park my bike." She pushed her bike to the parking area and locked it.

As they walked out of the residential area, they kept an eye out for passing taxis, but neither spoke. Suddenly, Ye Hao said, "By the way, you felt particularly light when I caught you. Are you a hundred pounds?"

Su Yuan was taken aback and said, "Not quite." Her weight was a sore point; she had been hovering around 90 pounds for years, never breaking the 100-pound mark, so she rarely weighed herself.

"No wonder."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Hao smiled, "Nothing, it just felt like catching a girl, very light, and the feel was good."

Her good mood was instantly swept away by a gust of autumn wind. Ye Hao's words had hit a nerve. Her eyebrows twitched, and Su Yuan said coldly, "I'm sorry my weight is so light." She then quickened her pace.

"Do you have to be so angry?" Ye Hao touched his nose.

He didn't realize that his casual comment had touched Su Yuan's sensitive nerve. In the taxi, Su Yuan was still fuming, but then she thought she was overreacting, making herself seem unreasonable. She felt depressed and continued to sulk, looking out the window.

Ye Hao scratched his head, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way.

Seeing the two in the back seat not talking, the driver couldn't help but say, "Young man, did you have a fight with your girlfriend? A real man should give in to his girlfriend. When there are conflicts, you should comfort her. It looks like you made her upset."

Su Yuan and Ye Hao were both taken aback. Ye Hao had a quick idea and leaned over, putting his arm around Su Yuan's neck, grinning, "Yeah, I don't know what I did to upset her. My girlfriend has a big temper..."

The driver nodded and then turned to Su Yuan, "A girl with a big temper isn't good. Even the best boyfriend will be scared away. Listen to Uncle, change your temper, and don't easily lose your temper with your boyfriend."

Clearly, the driver was on Ye Hao's side, thinking that Su Yuan's temper had caused the cold war.

"Right, right, girls should be gentle."

Bang! Su Yuan elbowed Ye Hao in the chest. He winced and pulled his hand back but held her tighter.

The driver saw this in the rearview mirror and shook his head helplessly. Young people these days always like the idea of a "wild girlfriend," heavily influenced by Korean dramas.

Finally, the car stopped at the school gate. Ye Hao paid the fare, and the considerate driver reminded him to go and comfort his girlfriend quickly. Although he found the idea of a "wild girlfriend" hard to understand, he still believed that in relationships, men should give in to women.

Ye Hao smiled and hurried after her.

"How does it feel, smug?" Su Yuan glared at him angrily.

"Alright, I found that you really do seem like a girl, especially with this temper." He flicked the hair from Su Yuan's forehead and said, "Your hair is getting long. Find time to get it cut, or others might misunderstand."

Su Yuan snorted. She had been planning to get a haircut, but now she didn't want to after his comment.
