School Hunk or Childhood Sweetheart?-Chapter 485 - 486: For The Rest of My Life, Love Has a Return Date

Chapter 485: Chapter 486: For The Rest of My Life, Love Has a Return Date

After the sports event, there was an award ceremony, and Shen Tan’s family won two first prizes and the "Best Parent-Child Award."

The two little ones were very happy and held onto the trophies all the way home, discussing where to place them.

Once home,

as the two little ones couldn’t wait to rush into the house and carefully placed the trophies in the most prominent place in the living room, Shen Tan turned to Jiang Yu, who was about to head to the next room, and said, "Is your marriage proposal from last time still valid?"

Without waiting for a response, she continued, "Don’t overthink it. I’m doing this for the kids. I don’t want them to be called bastards anymore."

On the way home, she had thought it through. She could choose to hold onto her grievances and never forgive him, or she could keep things as they were, but as the children were growing up and understanding more, she couldn’t lie to them forever.

A marriage certificate can be forged, but the children’s need for love and a psychological need for family can’t be faked.

And one lie would invariably necessitate more lies to cover it up. She didn’t want her children to feel she was a mother who only deceived them.

So, let’s get married!

After much thought, it seemed like the best solution.

Lying on his back, she recounted every moment of their acquaintance, and although she didn’t want to admit it but had to, she still had feelings for him.

But her pride and dignity made it hard for her to easily forgive him.

But in front of the children, she was willing to try to let go of these feelings.

Jiang Yu looked at her in astonishment, surprised that the confession came so suddenly that he momentarily forgot how to respond.

"If you’re unwilling, then forget it," Shen Tan said, turning to go inside.

"It’s valid," Jiang Yu’s voice followed her in the next second, as if fearful she might change her mind, he added, "Everything I’ve told you is valid."

Shen Tan: "Good, tomorrow morning at nine, see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Jiang Yu stood at the door, taking a while to accept this as reality.

Looking in the direction of the opposite door, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, growing wider as he smiled.

He knew he had made mistakes, but he had the rest of his life, and he would use time to make up for these mistakes bit by bit.

At the bar.

"Are you sure?" Shen Weiyi looked at Shen Tan across the table.

Hearing suddenly about her marriage, it seemed both unexpected and expected.

If she truly hated a man, she wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him, let alone endure the excruciating pain of childbirth to have his two children.

"Yeah, I’ve thought it through!" Shen Tan’s voice was calm. Once she had made a decision, she wouldn’t hesitate. She had never thought about falling in love with anyone else in this lifetime. Originally planning just to live with her two children, that person appeared again.

If it had been the old Shen Tan, she would never have looked back after a breakup, but now, she was not just herself but also a mother. For her two children, she was willing to give him another chance.

"Then, here’s to our happiness," Shen Weiyi raised her glass.

There were no redundant persuasions or questions about whether she had really thought it through.

The person opposite always knew what she wanted, and all she had to do was to support her unconditionally!

It was just a marriage, not something unchangeable.

Life is long; one must have the courage to make and learn from mistakes.

Besides, she was there.

No matter when, she wouldn’t be alone. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She would always be her backbone.

"We will be," Shen Tan toasted.

Their glasses clinked crisply in the air.

We will definitely both be happy.

Sipping the drink in her glass, Shen Tan looked at the person entering the door and raised her eyebrows towards Shen Weiyi, saying, "Look quick, how about the handsome guy who just came in? He looks to be about 1.8 meters tall, 98 in facial value, though a bit older, mature men have their charm."

Following her gaze, Shen Weiyi locked eyes with the newcomer and then smiled with a curved lip, "You’re right."

Sheng Ting walked through the crowd to them, hung a coat over Shen Weiyi, and said, "I’m here to take you home."

The expression on the face of Shen Tan opposite them seemed to be one stuffed with dog food as she waved at Shen Weiyi, "Okay, head home so you don’t make certain someone worry I’m corrupting you."

Even being married for so many years, the couple was still so affectionate.

It’s a wonder how they managed it.

"How about you?" Shen Weiyi adjusted her coat and looked at her worriedly.

Shen Tan: "Don’t worry, I’ll call a designated driver."

Seeing she hadn’t drunk much, Shen Weiyi wasn’t too worried, just reminded her, "Then be careful, and message me when you get home."

"Got it."

Leaving the bar, Shen Weiyi sent a message.

Seeing Sheng Ting pull out his car keys ready to drive, Shen Weiyi stopped him with a smile, "Let’s not go back yet."

Sheng Ting looked at her puzzled.

Shen Weiyi: "Let’s take a walk back at the university!"

Their meeting at the bar was coincidentally near Z University where Sheng Ting first met her.

"Alright."

Sheng Ting put the car keys back in his pocket, fastened her coat buttons for her, then holding her hand, they intertwined fingers and slowly walked towards Z University.

Since Sheng Ting had recently taught there, both were familiar with everything about the place.

But every visit felt differently.

Walking through the familiar campus, surrounded by young faces,

under the streetlights, though not all was clear,

as they came closer, many recognized Sheng Ting, but seeing Shen Weiyi beside him, everyone tacitly chose not to approach and disturb them.

Around Z University, a rumor had it that their Professor Sheng was not only young and promising with great looks but also a super doting husband.

Watching the couple walk side by side, envy was evident in people’s eyes.

It’s said that both were once students of Z University and became one of the few cases where college sweethearts got married during the breakup season of graduation.

This story was still frequently mentioned.

Seeing the familiar scenery around, Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but exclaim, "How wonderful!"

"What?" Sheng Ting leaned slightly and looked at her.

Under the lights, Shen Weiyi’s smile was tender and beautiful. "I mean, meeting you is wonderful!" The luckiest thing in life is to meet the right person.

There might have been misunderstandings and conflicts, but fortunately, you have always been there.

"I feel the same!" Sheng Ting lifted her hand to his chest.

His warm skin pressed against her palm.

The stars were scorching, inspiring longing. But what of it, you are my one and only ideal in this world.

For the rest of our long lives, love has its homecoming.

We should always stay together and witness tranquil years!

[The End]
