I'm back in 1990

Chapter 36: Love Cannot Fill One's Stomach with Water

Seeing Yu Wei's indignant expression, the two girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

To change the subject and ease Yu Wei's embarrassment, Ren Yangyang said, "I heard that you can date in college, but the professors don't seem to care."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and thought to himself, of course they wouldn't care. Basically, all the students who get into university are adults over eighteen. For university teachers, it's normal for students to date. As long as it doesn't lead to a death or scandal, they won't bother with you.

However, very few couples who date in college end up getting married. The vast majority break up around graduation season, which is why graduation season is also known as breakup season.

In the 1980s and 90s, college students were assigned jobs by the state. If a couple was assigned to work in different cities, it would be fine if they were close by, but what if they were far apart?

Transferring jobs? The difficulty is practically hellish. First, one employer or city must have a position available and be willing to accept the person. Second, the other employer's leadership must be understanding and willing to let the person leave, facilitating their resignation.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy; otherwise, it wouldn't be called hellishly difficult.

Every organization and city is like a radish with a hole; once a hole is vacated, countless eyes are watching! How could it possibly be your turn?

Besides, human nature is such that people hope others are worse off than themselves, so how could they possibly be willing to do something to help others? I've brought you and your spouse together for a happy family reunion, so why should we? You just stay put!

Of course, there are successful cases, but the vast majority involve moving from big cities to smaller cities, or from better places to less desirable ones. Some couples disregard these factors for the sake of reunion, only to regret it years later.

Therefore, reality can ruthlessly shatter the beautiful dream of love. After all, a couple has to live their lives together, and the ideal of "love conquers all" can only exist in novels.

Even if young people are immature and refuse to separate, their parents will make the decision for them. Long-distance relationships, coupled with family members constantly introducing suitable blind dates and instilling life philosophies, can lead to a difficult situation.

Time will slowly erode the love between two people, forcing them to compromise with life.

This is the experience of the vast majority of people who had romantic relationships in college during this period.

Huang Xiaochuan was aware of all these things, but he wouldn't tell these three people a single word.

This is something everyone encounters on their path to adulthood. People always have to learn to make choices in certain matters, and choosing between rationality and impulsiveness is a huge test for young people.

Even if Huang Xiaochuan were to say it now, it wouldn't have any effect or be convincing. After all, in the eyes of the three of them, Huang Xiaochuan is just like them and hasn't experienced these things either. Why should they listen to your side of the story?

Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan believes that universities are not only places to learn knowledge, but also small societies. They allow each college student to learn how to adapt to society in a relatively closed and safe environment, so that they will not be at a loss and unable to adapt after leaving the university and entering society.

Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan doesn't need to worry about the two girls' future development. As long as Yu Wei can hold out until the start of the school year and not succumb to temptation, Huang Xiaochuan won't have to worry about him once he gets to their school; his sister-in-law certainly won't let him off the hook. If anything goes wrong, Huang Xiaochuan will definitely find a way to make up for it and make sure that the two of them, who were already husband and wife, can stay together for the rest of their lives.

At this time, both young girls, including Yu Wei, were full of anticipation for university life. Ren Yangyang and Yu Wei got along quite well on this topic, indicating that they shared many commonalities.

Imagine how wonderful it would be to break free from your parents' constraints and live and study on your own! The feeling of freedom would be overwhelming!

Compared to the strict prevention of puppy love in high school, the tolerant attitude in college makes these young men and women particularly yearn for college life. Everyone hopes to have a romantic love story.

Therefore, Ren Yangyang's topic resonated with Yu Wei and Qin Yu, except for Huang Xiaochuan.

Although Qin Yu was too shy to open up to Huang Xiaochuan due to her girlish reserve, her actions naturally revealed her desire to get closer to him, a signal that was already very clear.

If it were a typical guy, he would have already taken the initiative to express his love to the girl.

But Qin Yu happened to meet Huang Xiaochuan, who had lived two lives. Moreover, this guy already had someone he loved. In order to make up for the regrets of his previous life, he had decided who he was going to marry in this life.

Qin Yu was too shy to say "I like you" first, and Huang Xiaochuan didn't have any feelings for Qin Yu at all, so the topic that Ren Yangyang brought up didn't resonate with either of them.

Seeing that the two hadn't reacted for a while, Ren Yangyang became a little anxious, so she simply asked, "Huang Xiaochuan, will you date if you go to college?"

Huang Xiaochuan said, "I told you guys last time! Getting married and having children is my life goal! How can I get married and have children without dating?"

Ren Yangyang glanced smugly at her best friend and continued, "So what kind of girl do you like? How about someone like Qin Yu?"

The question has been asked to this extent, it's almost like revealing the true intentions. It's clear that Ren Yangyang, this good friend, has gone to great lengths for Qin Yu, desperately trying to bring the two together.

Unfortunately, Ren Yangyang encountered Huang Xiaochuan, and this tactic didn't work on him. However, considering that young people are usually quite sensitive, Huang Xiaochuan decided to politely decline.

Anyway, once Qin Yu registers, she will be sent to another city for a year of military training. Time will take everything away, so it won't be embarrassing for Qin Yu. At most, she will feel bad for a few days and then it will pass. There are plenty of fish in the sea!

"Ren Yangyang, do you really think so highly of a toad like me? How could I dare to covet a beauty like our class monitor? I'd be afraid of getting beaten up by a mob." Huang Xiaochuan joked with a laugh.

Firstly, it was a self-deprecating joke about not being good enough for her, and secondly, it highlighted Qin Yu's beauty and excellence, preventing anyone from feeling embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yangyang, that silly girl, couldn't understand Huang Xiaochuan's polite refusal and instead encouraged him, "Then why don't you try thinking about it!"

Huang Xiaochuan was speechless. He glanced at Yu Wei, who was watching the show from the sidelines, winking and making faces at him with a wicked grin on his face.

Huang Xiaochuan was so angry that his liver hurt. This unreliable brother-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that they would be relatives in the future, he would definitely break off all ties with this guy.

Huang Xiaochuan made an excuse: "Sorry, I drank too much of that beverage, I need to go to the restroom."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly collapsed.

Ren Yangyang could hardly believe her eyes. At such a crucial moment, the male lead had actually made a hasty escape to pee? They were so close to success!

Yu Wei, who was just watching the show, was also dumbfounded. What was going on? The plot had stopped at such a crucial point? Was Huang Xiaochuan out of his mind? It was obvious that their class monitor liked him! Even a fool could see that.

Oops! I misspoke. I'm not stupid; any normal person could see that.

Huang Xiaochuan spent a full seven or eight minutes in the restroom, and when he returned, he joked, "Sorry! I didn't expect there to be a line for the restroom."

Avoiding Ren Yangyang's resentful gaze and Qin Yu's mournful eyes, Huang Xiaochuan chuckled and continued, "I think it's about time. Why don't we all head back? I've already paid the bill, how can I let the class monitor treat us! It's a rare opportunity like this, so I have to treat you this time. We've been classmates for three years and the class monitor has taken great care of us, so it's only right that he treats us."

"Class monitor, Ren Yangyang, we have to go now. You can stay a while longer if you're free."

Without giving the two girls a chance to speak, he grabbed the still-dazed Yu Wei and hurriedly left.

Enraged, Ren Yangyang glared at Qin Yu and asked, "What does Huang Xiaochuan mean by this? Is he putting on airs now?"

Qin Yu: "..."
