C80 Start a New Life

Xuan Zi squeezed his face to the side and his shoulders trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out. Ou Jia Rui looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Let's go, directly to the company."

After O'Jia Rui left, there was still some time before class, so I slowly walked to my own teaching building.

B City was a northern city of relatively high latitudes, and it wasn't too far from the coastline, so even in the summer, the weather wasn't too hot. It was a midsummer morning, and the sun was bright and clear.

Occasionally, I would pass by a couple carrying a textbook and preparing to go to class together or go to the library for self-study. Previously, I would definitely be very envious of them.

After experiencing so many things, after being abandoned and losing my son, I gradually understood that whether it was Lin Qian or Ou Jia Rui, neither of them should ever attempt to completely entrust their entire lives to them. The most important thing was to first become better, then choose who to spend the rest of their lives with.

The reason why I chose to start studying again, was not only because I wanted to avoid Ou Jia Rui and each of us to calm down for a while and think about our relationship, but also because of what Madame Ou had said at the birthday party: "No matter how poor she is, she is still a top student who graduated from a famous university, better than an ordinary girl with nothing at all."

I did not belittle myself, and I knew that I was not as useless as Mrs. Ou had said, but I was indeed the kind of girl who would soon be lost in the crowd. After all this, I wished I could be better.

When I passed by the track, I happened to see many boys and girls running. I looked down at my weak arms and felt that it was necessary for me to train my physical fitness. I secretly decided that I would get up early in the morning and head to the track in the morning.

The last time I exercised was before I graduated from university. After graduation, work and Lin Qian took up almost all of my free time.

At this moment, I still don't know how much of a change this decision to ask for morning exercise will bring to my future life.

Due to being here a few minutes early, there were only a few students in the classroom gathered together in groups of twos and threes to chat with each other. They were either having a good seat to read or doing their own things.

This lesson is a meticulous reading of literary works. The teaching method of a small class allows for the number of students to reach 100%, but there are only a few dozen people in the classroom. My arrival immediately attracted the attention of many students.

Although I had already noticed my dressing, I still made a clear distinction from the young sophomores around me. I walked to the front of the stage to greet the teacher who was preparing for class. After receiving a warm response, I returned to my seat.

The biggest difference between a school and a company is that even if you are a new member of a group, no one around you will make malicious guesses about your identity. The style of a professor's lecture is very unique.

The surrounding students were seriously taking notes. Only I hadn't gotten into the mood yet, so I didn't know where the teacher's explanation was. A pure and cute girl sitting beside me even kindly told me the page number, which I returned with a grateful smile.

Having not studied in class for a long time, I found it wonderful and enjoyable to begin to accept the information as a student again. The professor was an experienced and experienced scholar, and under his guidance, I was immersed in a sea of literature.

Unknowingly, it was time to end class.

Walking in the endless stream of people, I seem to see a new life beckoning to me, I enjoy my life on campus. Without any companions, and thinking that there seemed to be plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and fish in the fridge at home, I hurried back to my apartment to prepare lunch.

The campus of B University is very large, with specialized apartment groups. Teachers who don't have a fixed residence in the area live there and buy them. The place I live is the place where the old professor stayed before he retired, and the biggest advantage of it is that it is very convenient for classes on campus.

When I got home, I had a good appetite. I took some vegetables from the fridge and made myself a fruit salad, a shredded green pepper, and an egg soup. After all of this, the rice in the rice cooker was just ready.

While I ate, I took out my cell phone and prepared to watch the public lecture video that my classmates recommended to me today. Before I could unlock it, I was startled by the dozen missed calls and the five video calls on the screen.

Just as I was wondering what had made O'Jia Rui so anxious to find me, a request for a sixth video call came through, which I answered decisively.

Ou Jia Rui's extremely handsome face immediately appeared on the screen. At that time, he was sitting in the Ou Family CEO's office. "Where did Zhou Xinyao go? Why did she only pick up the phone now?"

I put the phone flat on the table, and the video camera was pointed at the ceiling of my apartment. I got out of the way to fill a bowl of egg-drop soup for myself, and explained to O'Jia Rui in a slightly louder voice, "I just finished class and put my phone in my bag. I walked home because my phone was always muted during class, so I didn't see it. What happened?"

Surprisingly, Ou Jia Rui's tone instantly became relaxed and carefree: "Nothing, I'm just checking to see if you eat lunch on time."

"Yes, I'm eating." Afraid that Ou Jia Rui wouldn't believe me, I picked up my phone and adjusted the camera to the table, letting her see the two dishes and the soup that I had prepared for myself.

"I didn't realize before that your culinary skills were pretty good." Yesterday was just a small experiment. In the past, every time Lin Qian's birthday or our anniversary came, I would make a big table of food with great skill. Sometimes, I couldn't even get a single word out of my mouth.

Most of the time, he wondered what had happened to him in the past.

Seeing that I had already eaten, Ou Jia Rui still had his own things to do. He repeatedly reminded me of what he had said to me this morning. I guaranteed that I would have a lunch break on time and be careful of my safety before reluctantly hanging up.

In the past, when I lived under the same roof as O'Jia Rui, I would often feel that our relationship was absurd and fragile because of the involvement of her or her mother. Now that I left the Ou Family, I felt that we were a loving couple in a foreign land.

The new life was very fulfilling and pleasant. In addition to class time, I often went back to the library to look up some material and study on my own. I wanted to catch up with the undergraduates before they started.

As long as I walked into the sea of literature, I would forget about the flow of time. The afternoons without classes were usually the afternoons when the sun was high in the sky, and when I came out at night, it was already full of stars. This kind of life might be tiring, but it was also very relaxing and interesting.

For several days in a row, every day at lunchtime and at night before going to bed, O'Jia Rui would call me or video call to ensure my personal safety and regular routine.

Ever since I saw the college students exercising on the track during class that day, I had prepared myself for the sports equipment, and every morning at six or seven o'clock I would run a few laps around the track. Sitting in the office all year round, my body wasn't used to this kind of training at first, but after three days, I realized that my sleep quality had improved significantly, so I decided to persevere.

After almost a week in school, I discovered that B University had a professional gymnasium. I went to examine it and then tried to take a few classes, gritting my teeth as I used my savings to buy a semester of private coaching classes to get my body healthy. I would occasionally return to take some aerobics, yoga, and bike lessons without evening classes.

Whether it was the morning track or the evening gym, I would meet a guy who could be called a fitness maniac. The reason why I have such a deep impression of him is probably because his outer appearance is too eye-catching. Every time he goes to train, he would attract the attention of many girls around him.

What was different from Ou Jia Rui's handsomeness was that this person wasn't as calm and steady as Ou Jia Rui, but he didn't have the sunshine or the vigor that Ou Jia Rui didn't have. Later on, I found out that this person's name was Zhao Yuhao.

As usual, I talked to O'Casanova on the phone before I went to sleep, but after a day of class, I spent another two hours in the gym, dozing off.

"Zhou Xinyao, why do I feel like you're so tired?" Ojira sensed my drowsiness.

I yawned and didn't try to hide it. "I spent the whole day in class, and I went to the gym for an hour of jogging at night after class. I was so tired after my shower."

"It's a good thing that you want to stay fit, it's good for your health. I keep feeling that after starting to read, you'll be different. Zhou Xinyao, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to your new life." I couldn't tell if what Ou Jia Rui said was true or not. I didn't understand what we were thinking, and I didn't understand the meaning behind his words.

The next day, early in the morning, when Ou Jia Rui heard that I had started to work out, she ordered Xuan Zi to bring me a big bag of fitness equipment, big to the size of all kinds of luxury sports shoes, and small to prevent injured knee guards, wrist guards, and so on.

After I thanked her, Xuanzi was about to leave when she suddenly turned around and said to me, "Madam, I feel like you've watched a lot more than when you first entered the Ou Family. Your entire being is full of energy."

"Thank you." I stood in the doorway and smiled.
