I'm back in 1990

Chapter 344: Chen Zhe finally understands.

The cesarean section meant Zeng Xia had to stay in the hospital a week longer than other mothers who gave birth normally.

Huang Xiaochuan personally went to pick her up from the hospital and take her home.

After arriving home, Zeng Xia said to herself, "Even if you gave me a million dollars, I wouldn't have any more children."

Huang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay her any attention. She would refuse to do whatever he asked, and in the end, she still got stabbed. This was entirely her own fault. Considering that she was still in her postpartum period and he had to coax her, Huang Xiaochuan didn't say anything.

However, seeing the gift Huang Xiaochuan bought for her immediately cheered Zeng Xia up. She happily tried on the necklace and earrings, and kept switching between carrying the bag on her arm and holding it in her hand.

After observing for a while, Huang Xiaochuan finally couldn't control his mouth.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take off that necklace. You need to start losing weight right after you finish your postpartum confinement."

Why?

"Why else? Look in the mirror. When other people wear it around their necks, it's called a necklace, but on you, it looks like a collar."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xia looked in the mirror and realized that Huang Xiaochuan was right. Furious, she rushed towards her aunt, who was tidying up the sofa, seeking comfort.

"Mom, look at my little brother! He's disgusted with me!"

Good heavens, she didn't even realize how big she is now. Her aunt was caught off guard and knocked over.

After finally sitting up, she angrily raised her hand to hit her, but then she remembered that her daughter was still in postpartum confinement, and she couldn't bring herself to do it.

But I still had to say a few words to her: "What are you doing now? Go to bed right now."

Zeng Xia didn't dare to cause trouble for her mother, and since she wasn't fully recovered and couldn't deal with Huang Xiaochuan, she could only vent her anger on her husband, Huo Miao.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you going to help me back to my room?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Miao, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, quickly stepped forward to help his wife into the room to rest. Huang Xiaochuan gave him a helpless look and silently prayed for him.

Even though I'm home, I haven't done a single word of the homework my grandfather assigned!

Just when I finally manage to calm down and focus on reading and studying, there happens to be a little kid at home.

This little six-pound baby is the complete opposite of Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan rarely cries and is quite well-behaved!

When Xiao Liujin gets excited, it's absolutely deafening. In the early days after she was born, it was alright; her babbling sounds were like her singing. But as she grew bigger and her energy increased, her voice also grew louder.

I'm not full, I'm crying!

I peed, I'm crying!

I pooped, and I cried!

The sound was a bit too loud, it scared me, I cried!

I'm all alone, I'm crying!

When Huang Xiaochuan gave her a bath, she cried at the top of her lungs, from beginning to end. He was truly impressed by her.

Strangely enough, whenever Huang Xiaochuan holds her, she becomes incredibly well-behaved!

Seeing this, Zeng Xia and Huo Miao simply handed Liu Jin over to Huang Xiaochuan, ostensibly to let Huang Xiaochuan practice how to take care of a child in the future.

This is unbearable!

Just as Huang Xiaochuan opened the book and set out his paper and pens to start working, the chattering began. Within five minutes, Zeng Xia would bring Xiao Liujin over. Once in Huang Xiaochuan's hands, she would quiet down, yawn twice, and immediately fall asleep.

What to do? Huang Xiaochuan was exasperated by the little one. She was like glue to him, impossible to let go of. She would wake up and wail as soon as she was away from Huang Xiaochuan. Huang Xiaochuan was practically calling her his ancestor. She was so tiny, he couldn't hit her or scold her! Reasoning with her was useless too!

More than a week has passed, and not even a single page has been completed. This can't go on forever! Huang Xiaochuan hardened his heart and decided to avoid the problem, just like he always did during summer vacation. Every morning he would go to the school or his office in Xujiahui early and stay until evening before going home.

Chen Zhe is always present at the library on time every day, as he is actively preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Just as he was engrossed in reading and doing exercises, a girl sat down next to him without him noticing.

When someone sat down next to him, Chen Zhe deliberately shifted his body to avoid disturbing them.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the book Chen Zhe was reading, the girl took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

"Excuse me, senior, I'd like to ask you a question."

At first, Chen Zhe didn't think the girl was talking to him and didn't respond to her immediately.

The girl was quite persistent. Seeing that Chen Zhe ignored her, she raised her voice and continued, "Senior, can I ask you for a favor?"

Chen Zhe heard it clearly this time. He looked up and looked around. It seemed that apart from him, who was the only boy around, everyone else was a girl, so the "senior" must have been addressed to him.

"Sorry! I didn't hear you clearly just now." Chen Zhe quickly apologized when he saw that it was a girl talking to him.

"It's okay, senior. I noticed that the book you're reading seems to be the same as the one I'm studying, but it's something we only need in our third year. So I wanted to ask you some questions."

"Really? And who are you?"

I'm a sophomore majoring in economics.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe immediately realized that this was definitely a junior student!

"What a coincidence, we're even in the same major. I'm a senior."

"Really? I knew it! Are you planning to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"Yeah! You knew that too?" Chen Zhe was a little surprised.

"Isn't it obvious? If it weren't for the postgraduate entrance exam, why would you be in the library, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe exclaimed, "That's true! This girl knows quite a lot."

The girl was quite outgoing and spoke very confidently, which Chen Zhe didn't dislike. They started exchanging questions and answers like that.

This scene was witnessed by Huang Xiaochuan, who had come to find Chen Zhe.

Good heavens! What's going on with Old Chen?

Huang Xiaochuan spotted Chen Zhe, the green leaf, in the sea of ​​flowers at a glance. This was because the university was somewhat female-dominated, with far more girls than boys. Moreover, these girls spent more time in the library than the boys. In the corner where Chen Zhe was, all the people reading and studying around him were girls.

Huang Xiaochuan regretted not bringing his camera; otherwise, he would have taken a picture of him and given it to Chen Zhe later, which would have been a wonderful memory.

Huang Xiaochuan found a quiet spot to sit down, reading a book while glancing at Chen Zhe every now and then.

The girl chatted with Chen Zhe for a while, and Chen Zhe answered all the questions she needed to ask.

The girl then said, "Senior, my name is Chen Qiao. What's your name?"

Chen Zhe paused for a moment, then replied, "I also have the surname Chen, and my name is Chen Zhe."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiao exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence! We both have the surname Chen! Are you the Chen from 'Er Dong Chen'?"

Chen Zhe nodded: "Yes, Chen from Erdong."

Chen Qiao laughed: "Senior, we're quite destined to meet."

Chen Zhe scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Senior, could I have your contact information? Which dorm building do you live in?"

This was the first time a girl had taken the initiative to ask Chen Zhe for his contact information, which made Chen Zhe a little flustered. However, he quickly calmed down and gave Chen Qiao his pager number.

"This is my pager number. I'm not living at school right now; I'm a day student."

"Oh, I see! It's alright, I'll come find you at the library then."

Chen Qiao waved goodbye to Chen Zhe and left first. Chen Zhe was still savoring the moment when Huang Xiaochuan quietly walked up to him, looked at Chen Qiao's departing figure, and asked in a low voice.

"Old Chen! Who's this girl? Do you like her?"

Chen Zhe was startled by the sudden sound, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Huang Xiaochuan.

Chen Zhe said with lingering fear, "When did you get here? There wasn't a sound. You scared me to death."

"Don't interrupt, I'm asking you a question."

"They just came to ask me a few questions, aren't you overthinking it?"

Huang Xiaochuan carefully examined Chen Zhe and found that the young man had a scholarly air about him and looked very refined. He was also no longer as naive as he had been when he first entered university. No wonder the girl had taken a liking to him.

"Which class is she in? Do you have her contact information? I think this girl is a good match for you, give it a shot."

Chen Zhe then realized that after all that busy work, he hadn't even asked Chen Qiao which dormitory she lived in or asked for her contact information, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Huang Xiaochuan clearly sensed that Chen Zhe was starting to understand.
