Chapter 169: Major
On the dining table, the bowls and chopsticks were left empty and messy. In the kitchen, the cutting board and cooking tools on the stove were still not cleaned. Inside the small rental room, only the faint sound of a girl begging softly could be heard from the bedroom.
“Let go… maybe you can let me go now? I still haven’t cleaned the table…”
“Don’t rush. Later we can also fill in our university choices.”
“Like this? You call this reporting choices? Aah~!”
After a long time, the bedroom door finally clicked open.
Mo Ziyang, wearing only pajama pants and bare-chested, walked out. He went into the bathroom, let out a long breath in front of the mirror, then bent down to wash his face. His dark eyes slowly regained their calm and focus.
But while Mo Ziyang looked fine, Lin Muxi in the room was a different story.
Her small body lay limp on the white bed as if tossed aside. Her messy hair and the nightdress rolled slightly upward gave her a kind of fragile beauty. But right now, she couldn’t even turn over or sit up on her own. She could only wait helplessly on the bed for her good bro to come back and help her up.
But because she woke up early and used up so much energy making breakfast for him, the moment she closed her eyes, exhaustion took over. Lin Muxi fell asleep again almost instantly.
So when Mo Ziyang came back into the room after washing, she was already sleeping soundly, breathing steadily.
People always say “only the ox gets tired,” but clearly, the field can also be overworked.
Looking at his little silly girl lying on the bed, hair messy and body worn out, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but want to laugh at the thought. But for now, it seemed cleaning the table and tidying the house would fall to him.
Standing by the bed, he sighed softly. He moved her body gently, covered her with a blanket, and closed the door quietly as he left the room.
While Lin Muxi slept, Mo Ziyang became a “house husband,” sweeping and wiping, cleaning up the small living room and kitchen.
After all, she had already been worn out by him earlier, and he didn’t believe she’d have the strength to do housework when she woke up. So he handled it for her.
When the cleaning was done, he sat on the sofa and returned to his own research.
About Beijing University, Mo Ziyang actually didn’t know much. He wanted to apply mostly because it was close to home, and because Lin Muxi wanted to go.
But although Lin Muxi’s rented place was also in Beijing, it wasn’t close to the university. Even driving could take nearly an hour to reach the gate. So he began wondering, should they move? Or maybe stay in the dorms?
He sat on the sofa, holding his phone, deep in thought. He didn’t move at all, looking so focused as if nothing else around him mattered.
Until a soft, sticky-sounding call came from the bedroom and broke his thoughts.
“Hm? Already awake so soon?”
He checked the time. Only about an hour had passed since she fell asleep.
“Mo Ziyang~!”
“Coming, coming.”
He stood and opened the door, expecting a just-woken Lin Muxi. But instead, he saw his silly girl already propped up, sitting weakly on the bed. Her big watery eyes stared at him, but instead of happy, they looked like they were blaming him.
“Not resting more?” he asked.
“Your words sound nice, but I didn’t see you go easy on me earlier.”
In response to his concern, Lin Muxi only gave him a resentful little look.
She finally understood what people mean when they say, “Men’s words can’t be trusted.” Before they started, he clearly said he wouldn’t go too far. But in the end, he had worn her out so much she could barely get up.
Facing this, Mo Ziyang could only scratch his head awkwardly at the bedside.
But clearly, the main topic wasn’t about that. After the atmosphere stayed a little stiff, Lin Muxi was the first to break the silence.
“By the way… what about choosing our major?”
“We can already choose now. Do you have a major you’re interested in? Based on the past admission scores, with our scores, no matter which major we pick, we basically won’t be transferred to another one.”
Hearing this, Lin Muxi on the bed quickly began to think.
A major is something you’ll use in the future to earn money. So she quickly thought about high-paying majors like computer science and finance. At least this way, after graduation, she wouldn’t be a burden to her good bro.
Also, that day after she got the bank card from his family, she secretly went to check the balance.
She thought maybe it had tens of thousands, at most a few hundred thousand. But when she checked, she found out that the card Mo Ziyang’s mother gave her had one million!
Because of that, after she got home that day, she refused to keep the card no matter what. Even when Mo Ziyang tried to force her to accept it, she put the card aside and shook her head in fear.
“How about… business management?”
After some thought, Lin Muxi tilted her head and asked her good bro, who was sitting beside her.
In response, Mo Ziyang just picked up the tablet from the bed and opened the past admission scores for that major at Beijing University.
The score wasn’t high. Even the highest admission score was still more than ten points below Lin Muxi’s score.
“Up to you, I don’t really mind.”
“Eh—?”
Hearing him say that, Lin Muxi felt even more pressure.
She originally just wanted her good bro to give her some advice, so she’d know which major was better.
But now, not only did she have to think about herself, she also had to consider his choice at the same time.
“Mm…” Staring at the tablet in his hands, Lin Muxi bit her lip, her face showing hesitation.
“Can’t you just give me a suggestion?”
After thinking for a long time but still confused, Lin Muxi turned to him again with pleading eyes.
“I…” The words were on Mo Ziyang’s lips, but he swallowed them back when he saw her innocent little eyes.
Knowing his little wife well, he thought for Lin Muxi, business management might only be something she could study, but not something she could do well. He really couldn’t imagine a shy girl like her managing a whole company in the future.
So in his view, accounting might be more suitable. At least she could handle numbers, and when working later, she wouldn’t need to face many public situations.
“How about trying accounting? I think business management may not be very suitable for you.”
“What about computer science then?”
“It’s very tiring. And computer science develops so fast, you’ll need to learn a lot of new things all the time.”
When she asked about computer science, Mo Ziyang quickly pulled up the past admission data for that major.
No doubt, this subject was actually suitable for Lin Muxi. After all, her strongest ability was studying.
But if she really chose computer science, they probably wouldn’t have much time to spend together in the future.
That thought clearly made Mo Ziyang unhappy.
But he couldn’t just say, “I want to stick to you every day.” If he said that, Lin Muxi would definitely look at him like he was stupid. So he could only persuade her gently.
“Mm… accounting, huh…”
It seemed his words convinced her a little, and Lin Muxi began to reconsider his suggestion.
But as she looked at the tablet, she noticed other majors like Financial Engineering, National Finance, Taxation, Bonds…
She quickly got even more confused.
“What… what are all these…”
“How about we ask my parents?”
“Then… let’s ask them.”
So when Mo Ziyang took out his phone, Lin Muxi immediately leaned in close, her soft body pressed against his strong one.
“Okay, you’re about to meet my parents, behave properly, got it?”
“No, I want to stay just like this.”
