Chapter 233 No Chance to Regret

Jiang Mengxi knocked on the door of Gu Tingzhou's house with the golden key and golden lock. At that time, Zhao Yuxi was still busy in the kitchen, and Gu Tingzhou was sitting in the living room, chatting with Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze, and the three talked about their childhood memories.

"Jiang Mengxi is here. I'll go open the door. Please wait a moment."

As soon as Jiang Mengxi saw Gu Tingzhou, she was eager to hand him the gift: "This is a wedding gift for you. Zhao Yuxi should like it very much."

At this time, Zhao Yuxi also walked to the door. Gu Tingzhou wanted to hand the gift to her, but she pushed the box back.

"Open it and take a look. You are also the owner of this house."

Gu Tingzhu opened the gift box.

There was a piece of paper in the box, and on the paper were a lock and two keys.

"It is indeed something I like. Such a big piece of gold must be very expensive, right? And these two keys are not light either."

"It's okay. I wanted to give you these two keys as pendants, but they are too heavy. If you don't open the Asymptotic Domain, you can't hang them around your neck as pendants."

Zhao Yuxi threw up the key: "It's okay, I'll buy a box in the future, lock one key in the box, and use the other key to unlock it. I can also put a lot of important things in the box. Come in quickly, dinner is about to start, I'll just go and cook a few side dishes."

"it is good."

Gu Tingzhou took the dishes and set them aside, and the conversation moved from the living room to the dining room.

Gu Tingzhou sat opposite Mu Zhengguang. The seat next to him was empty, and it was reserved for Zhao Yuxi. On the other side of the long table sat Jiang Mengxi.

Zhao Yuxi brought the stewed chicken soup, goose soup, and pork rib soup to the table, followed by boiled shrimp, fried hairtail, roasted pig's trotter, braised sea bass, and finally the garlic lettuce, cold broccoli, and boiled baby cabbage.

Jiang Mengxi thought that this couple were both good at cooking, and when they lived together in the future, they could take turns cooking.

Xu Ying decided to learn how to make some common dishes in the next few days. After all, she might not be as relaxed as she is now after school starts. Although her studies would not bother her and her test scores would not bring her pressure, she thought she would be willing to stay in the classroom for more than 12 hours a day. It would take another part of her time to handle the overall work. In this way, the remaining time every day would be very limited.

Mu Zhengguang felt that Zhao Yuxi was different from before. Zhao Yuxi was busy in the kitchen, and Gu Tingzhou was responsible for entertaining guests. If it was in the past, would Zhao Yuxi accept such a division of labor?
"From today on, Gu Tingzhou and I are officially husband and wife. Teacher Jiang, you have to work hard too. You are the most backward among us."

"It's no use trying to cheer for this kind of thing. I haven't met the one I like yet. I can only wait a little longer." When Zhao Yuxi said this, Jiang Mengxi felt not urging, but care. This was a joke between good friends that contained care. She envied the two deans sitting on her left, and the couple sitting on her right. However, she didn't want to settle before she met the right person.

Zhao Yuxi encouraged her: "You will meet him eventually. We are all in the Academy of Sciences. I will help you keep an eye on the institute. There are many outstanding talents here."

Jiang Mengxi knew that most of the young ancients and medievals were in the Academy of Sciences and Research Institutes. In such places, it was indeed easier to find the "right person".

She said: "Maybe it doesn't have to be excellent, as long as it's pleasing to the eye."

"Yes. There is no wine or grape juice tonight, only watermelon juice. Come on, let's drink a toast to Gu Tingzhou and me and wish you a happy wedding. Xu Yingze, if you need to apply for documents, you can come to me. No matter what regulations there are outside, you have the seal of the dean of the branch, and you can change or even eliminate those regulations that are unfavorable to you."

"I know, sister."

After dinner, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying left first, and Jiang Mengxi sat at Gu Tingzhou's house for a while.

On the way, Mu Zhengguang told his classmates about his new discovery: "Zhao Yuxi after marriage is different from the Zhao Yuxi before."

"In the past, she didn't have to be responsible for Gu Tingzhou. She didn't see Gu Tingzhou very often, so she might not have considered him that much when doing things."

At Gu Tingzhu's house, the two girls were chatting in the bedroom while the boy was washing dishes in the kitchen. "Are you and him progressing too fast?"

"It's okay, not too fast or too slow. When you meet someone you like, you know it in your heart."

Zhao Yuxi suddenly remembered that Xu Yingze once asked her a question, "I wonder if the dean still remembers how you felt when you liked someone in the past." Perhaps at that time, Xu Yingze discovered the possibility that she and Gu Tingzhou liked each other.

After experiencing liking and loving, confessing and getting married, she can finally say similar words.

“Is two months really enough?”

Jiang Mengxi was most skeptical about "two months". Although both Mr. Zhao and Gu Tingzhou were excellent people, it was unlikely that they could go from strangers to husband and wife in two months.

She had heard many stories in which some of the people knew each other for one or two years before they got married, some for three or five years, and some for even longer. The two deans of the branch probably also knew each other for a long time.

Zhao Yuxi said, "Two months, half a semester, is enough. If you really like someone, you won't wait too long. When I say wait too long, I don't mean not confessing for too long, but I mean not realizing that you like someone for a long, long time. Teacher Jiang, do you know why there are so many people who obviously like another person but are slow to confess?"

"Yes, because they are afraid of failure in their confession."

"It's more than that. Fear of failure in confession is only a small part of the reason. They are also afraid of confession because the environment they are in and their own conditions prevent them from freely expressing their love to each other. Our environment is very free and our own conditions are very superior. When we like someone, we can confess to them without any burden. Moreover, it doesn't mean that others won't know that you like him if you don't confess. Some people think they are secretly in love with someone, but in fact, that so-called someone, or the people around that person, have already seen this unexpressed admiration."

"Let's not talk about confession first, let's talk about you and Gu Tingzhou first. When will your wedding be held?" Jiang Mengxi had no intention of confessing her love to anyone for the time being. These words sounded very strange to her, and the more she listened, the less she wanted to listen.

"If everything goes well, the wedding will be held a few days before or after the New Year. You shouldn't be busy then, so you must come."

"We have to wait so long. Before the wedding, will you live...live with him?" Jiang Mengxi hesitated. She was embarrassed to fully express her thoughts.

Zhao Yuxi smiled and said, "I think what you want to ask, Teacher Jiang, is not about living together, but sleeping together. We have already obtained the marriage certificate, so of course we have to live together, eat together, and sleep together. Actually, I am a little scared now. I don't know how he will behave, and I don't know how I will behave."

"The Academy of Sciences has relevant drugs that can solve these problems. If you need them, I can personally get them for you."

Teacher Jiang definitely didn't say these words to tease or mock her, but because he really wanted to help, but she didn't want Teacher Jiang to do her this favor.

"No, I don't want to rely on external things when doing these things. Maybe after tonight, everything will be irreversible, and neither he nor I will have the chance to regret it."

Zhao Yuxi was not anxious before marriage, but she became anxious after marriage. She was very worried about what happened at night and what would happen if it caused any bad consequences.

Jiang Mengxi understood why Teacher Zhao said "it is irreversible". She didn't want to see these two people enter into marriage with great expectations, but after entering into marriage, they gradually drifted apart due to various concerns. At this time, she had to cheer for Teacher Zhao so that he could have the confidence to deal with what happened in the future.

"It's too early to regret after getting married. If you're afraid of sleeping with him, you can tell him. He will understand you."

"Teacher Jiang, am I immature to have such an idea?"

"No. It's normal to have such thoughts. You've done a good job of thinking about these things before they happen."

"Thank you. Fortunately, you are here."

"You're welcome."
