The Heir is Here: Quiet Down, School Prince! - Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070

“You’re so dumb!” Su Xiaomo stuck out her tongue . “Bye bye! I’m going back home now!”

 There was no way He Jiayu was going to let her go now .

 Reaching out with his long arms, he pulled Su Xiaomo into his car, where the light was comfortably dim . Holding Su Xiaomo, He Jiayu felt the whole thing was almost unreal .

 “I thought… you would be mad at me…”

 Su Xiaomo rolled her eyes . “Of course I’m mad!”

 But she didn’t want to deny her feelings anymore .

 She had been disconcerted before because He Jiayu hadn’t told her his true feelings . Now that He Jiayu had confessed his love, she no longer needed to feel restless .

 “What can I do to make you happy again?” He Jiayu asked gingerly .

 “Be my punching bag for the rest of my life, then!” Su Xiaomo grinned .

 He Jiayu was speechless .

 After a long silence, he said, “No problem . ”

 They could hear each other’s breathing in this enclosed environment, and they had never felt so close…

–

 Things went pretty well for He Jiayu and Su Xiaomo from then on . They were compatible in both temperament and personality, so they rarely ever fought . Apart from Su Xiaomo’s occasional unfounded panic attack, which would drive He Jiayu insane, all was well .

 It was soon after the college entrance exam . Both of them did pretty well and were discussing which universities and majors they should apply for .

 “Cutie He! What if you get really great grades and I don’t?” Su Xiaomo shook him by his shoulder . “We’ll have to go to different universities! You’ll fall in love with some other chick and your children will call me Auntie one day! Aaah! What should I do…”

 He Jiayu smacked his forehead . “Momo, stop shaking me . ”

 Su Xiaomo pursed her lips . “You don’t love me anymore!”

 … How did love have anything to do with this?!

 Stroking her hair, He Jiayu said earnestly, “Because of this severe paranoia you’re exhibiting, I think I’ve found the most suitable major for me . ”

 “Which is?”

 “Psychiatry . ”

 Su Xiaomo was moved . “So that you can treat me one day?”

 “No, it’s for self-protection . ”

 “…”

 Su Xiaomo pushed him away, then huddled in a corner to sulk .

 –

 They ended up applying for the same university . He Jiayu studied medicine, and Su Xiaomo applied for graphic design . However, that turned out to be a rather popular major, and she was reallocated to — philosophy .

 Yes, philosophy!

 Su Xiaomo didn’t know what to say when she saw her name on the philosophy department enrollment list .

 He Jiayu’s comment was, “Not bad . You’ll be digging into people’s minds while I cut them open . We can make a fortune from that . ”

 Su Xiaomo: …

 –

 Many, many years later .

 Mr . and Mrs . He were very old now, and even Cuddlie’s baby was big enough to run to the convenience store on her own .

 The sun was setting and the evening glow tinted the sky red .

 They sat there holding hands and rocking back and forth slowly in their chairs .

 Mrs . He said, “It was love at first sight for me . ”

 Mr . He chuckled . “Just admit it . You were totally swept off your feet by my good looks . ”

 Mrs . He snorted . “… Hmph! What about you?”

 Mr . He said after some thought, “Well, all I wanted back then was a tough wife that could protect me and our baby, which would be such a bargain . ”

 The corner of Mrs . He’s mouth twitched . “Mr . He, why does it sound like you’re quite proud of hiding behind your wife? Shouldn’t you be ashamed of yourself or something?”

 Mr . He said, “You’re the only one I want to hide behind . ”

 Mrs . He waved her hand magnanimously . “Fine, fine . Hide all you want . ”

 Mr . He took her hand, and their diamond rings shone brightly in the setting sun .

 “Give me your hand to hold . Together we’ll grow old . ”
