If it were to happen to Wen Xuehui, her father would probably be so happy that he would go home and set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate the occasion.
Jiang Yao did not explain much. She just smiled and poured a glass of water for Wen Xuehui so that she could take a few sips to calm down. In just a short while, Ah Lu called and said that he had arrived at the dormitory for her.
"I'm going out; I have something to do, but I'll return tonight. I'll bring you guys supper then, so wait up for me!" Jiang Yao took her bag and put on her coat. Moe had been hiding in his nest. When he realized that Jiang Yao was about to head out, he quickly jumped into her backpack. It was obvious that he wanted to go with Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao thought that it was strange. Moe had not wanted to follow her whenever she went out. When she was back in the dormitory, Moe had always stayed away from her. However, that day, he had taken the initiative to jump into her backpack. She could not understand it at all.
"You're still going out?" Wen Xuehui asked. "Didn't your husband just go back to the army?"
"He went out to settle some personal matters." Jiang Yao smiled. "What? I can only stay in school because he's not here? Is my life only about my husband and studying? Can't there be anything else?"
The other five people in the dormitory nodded tacitly and replied in unison, "Yes!"
Wen Xuehui laughed out loud. "It seems like I'm not the only one who thinks that you're the kind of person who wants to be around your husband 24 hours a day. I reckon that you'd want to make a pendant out of yourself and hang it on your husband's body."
