Chapter 328: Studying Abroad Problems
The day after celebrating Su Peng’s birthday, Su Yichang left to continue his work.
But Su Peng had not been in a good mood these few days. He clearly went to the hospital for a check-up, and he even tried things himself.
Yet whenever it came to An Han, he always lost completely, without any ability to fight back.
Not only that, for some reason, An Han seemed to have talent in this kind of thing. The first time she was shy and inexperienced, but the second time she was already very skilled…
It wasn’t that he was weak, his girlfriend was simply too strong. He didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.
At noon on the weekend, An Han leaned against the door frame of the Fitness Club, arms crossed, watching the people inside.
Su Peng was doing squats. He actually belonged to the Martial Arts Club, but the Fitness Club didn’t forbid students from using their equipment. In fact, they welcomed it.
Wang Yu, the president of the Fitness Club, was jogging on a treadmill. But Long Xing, who used to come every day, was nowhere to be seen.
The large club room only had a few scattered members working out.
Last semester they had even held a recruitment event, but today, she only saw one unfamiliar face, probably everyone else had quit.
After hesitating for a long time, Wang Yu finally stepped off the treadmill and sat on a bench. His expression was still as cold as ever, but his eyes were blank as he looked at the girl standing at the doorway.
She looked a little familiar, but he really couldn’t remember when he had ever met her.
She seemed to be a fitness lover too. Even though her clothes covered her well, her figure was slim and well-proportioned.
After looking her up and down, Wang Yu realized she must be Su Peng’s girlfriend. He didn’t stare more, just drank half his bottle of water in one go, then went to help other members train.
An Han quietly let out a breath of relief.
Good thing he didn’t recognize her, otherwise she would be dragged to work out again.
“An Han.”
Su Peng stumbled toward her, legs shaky after squats. “Why did you come to school?”
It was the weekend. Normally, she would stay in the rented room, waiting to go out shopping with him in the afternoon.
“Let’s eat lunch together~”
“It’s already one o’clock and you still haven’t eaten?”
He frowned, then looked up at her expectant eyes, and sighed helplessly.
“Fine, let me pack up and we’ll go eat.”
“Okay!”
Ever since they got closer, this girl had become even more clingy.
Su Peng didn’t dislike her clinginess. It just made his head ache a bit and made him worry about the future.
At one in the afternoon, the cafeteria was almost empty.
Holding Su Peng’s arm like she was supporting him, An Han lifted the plastic curtain and walked inside.
Su Peng had just finished weighted squats, and he could barely walk. So she ran around by herself to get their food.
Carrying two trays, she sat closely next to him. But she didn’t start eating, she just stared straight at Su Peng.
“Don’t even say it…”
Before she could speak, he already knew what she wanted to talk about. He pressed his hand to his forehead and sighed, “Last night was an accident.”
“It’s okay. Just get better soon. My hands won’t get tired.” Trying not to laugh, she comforted him, then complained. “How come it’s an ‘accident’ every time?”
That kind of “comfort” only made Su Peng more frustrated.
For a man, you can be bad at many things. But in front of your girlfriend, you absolutely cannot lose face in that area.
“After we eat, I’m going back to the gym.”
“You’re still going? Don’t really work out until you become like Brother Long… I don’t like huge muscles.”
She liked Su Peng’s current body type, slim and gentle-looking in clothes, strong and wild-looking without a shirt.
His figure was great, yet somehow he was still… bad at this one thing.
“I won’t.”
“Then I’ll go to the library to read...”
She was already used to eating meals together with him. Even when they had no topic to talk about, An Han could still eat well and feel happy. It was as if her body and mind were more relaxed than usual.
As long as she stayed beside Su Peng, her mood would not be bad. Even when she got angry, most of it was just shy or annoyed anger, which came fast and went fast.
“I need to ask for leave in a few days.”
“Hmm?” An Han was still chewing a piece of meat. She looked up at Su Peng beside her.
Su Peng thought for a moment and said, “I need to prepare my visa.”
“Oh~” An Han answered softly and continued eating without thinking too much about it.
She always knew Su Peng would go abroad. She had already prepared herself for it long ago...
Not long after, her mouth was full of food, her cheeks puffed up, and she spoke unclearly. “Can’t you just... not go?”
“What?”
She swallowed the food. “I mean, it’s good for you to study abroad. It will help you find a job when you come back...”
“But wait... your family is rich, right? Can’t you just join your family’s company directly?”
She muttered this without looking at Su Peng’s expression.
Su Peng’s plan to study abroad was decided back in high school. His family arranged it for him, and he didn’t dislike the idea. If he just followed the path his family planned, his life would probably go smoothly.
But now...
“How long until you go abroad?”
“August.”
“Oh, that’s still a long time... Why get the visa so early?”
“I need to prepare some documents.”
Su Peng watched An Han’s face, but he couldn’t see any strong emotion. This actually made him more worried.
Their relationship had become much closer recently, and An Han had also become more clingy. He was worried that after he left the country, she would feel sad for a long time.
“Are you going too?”
“I already said it before. My dad wanted to send me abroad before, but my visa documents were fake, so I got rejected once and even got banned for ten years.”
An Han lifted her head with a smile. “My dad works in the UK too. When the time comes, I’ll ask him to take care of you.”
“We might not live in the same city...”
Su Peng felt that if his future father-in-law had to ‘take care’ of him, he would probably get scolded every day.
“True.”
He looked at An Han’s face and frowned, still worried.
“Should I just... not go?”
“It’s up to you.”
An Han kept smiling. She tried her best not to think too much about this topic, to avoid the system jumping out to say something unpleasant.
But after a while, she still couldn’t stop her mind from thinking.
Maybe she should make Su Peng stay? For Su Peng, studying abroad or not probably didn’t matter much. He would take over the family company anyway...
If she acted pitiful and asked him to stay, maybe he really would.
But she frowned and angrily poked her chopsticks into the meatball on her plate. She had been a man for twenty years!
They were only going to be apart for some time, why was she being so emotional?
Suddenly she realized that the longer she was with Su Peng, the more her independence was being worn away. She started to get used to Su Peng’s presence, used to relying on him.
It must be the system affecting her thinking again, trying to turn her into a weak girl who can’t live without a man!
Stupid system!
Su Peng clearly saw An Han’s worried, frowning face.
