Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 106: The Admissions Offices of Tsinghua and Beijing University Went to War!

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Admissions Offices of Tsinghua and Beijing University Went to War!

At the breakfast table in the early morning, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Gu Yanshen pushed a bowl of warm rice porridge in front of Lin Wan Yi.

Spiritual spring water had been added to the porridge, giving it a lustrous glow.

"Eat."

He said just one word, then sat aside, wiping his pistol.

Lin Wan Yi picked up the spoon and slowly sipped the porridge.

"Is everything with the Zhao Family... really sorted out?"

"Yes."

The man’s reply was without any warmth.

"Could it be... too much?"

"No."

Gu Yanshen raised his head, his gaze falling on her face.

"No one can bully you."

After speaking, he lowered his head again and continued wiping the gun.

Lin Wan Yi looked at his tense side profile; his words from last night, "You can only stay by my side," seemed to still echo in her ears.

She knew he was angry.

Angry at what the reporter said, and at her possible thoughts of leaving.

The air in the room was so quiet it made one anxious.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Wang Xiu’e rushed in like the wind, holding a newspaper high in her hand.

"Wanyi! Wanyi! Look quickly!"

Her face was flushed with excitement as she slapped the newspaper onto the table.

"People’s Daily! Front page! A full page!"

Lin Wan Yi looked over.

The bold black headline was incredibly eye-catching.

"The Exam Answer Sheet in the Delivery Room — A Record of the Glorious Deeds of Comrade Lin Wan Yi, a Military Wife of the New Era"

Wang Xiu’e’s fingers were trembling as she pointed to the article.

"The whole nation has seen this! Wanyi, you’ve become famous!"

Just as she finished speaking, the commander also walked in with a broad smile.

"Great! This is great!"

The commander slapped his thigh.

"This is more inspiring than winning a battle!"

Before he could finish speaking, a young messenger ran in, sweating, and saluted.

"Report, Commander!"

The messenger’s voice was urgent and loud.

"The military district’s main switchboard... has crashed!"

"What?" The commander was stunned.

"The phone hasn’t stopped ringing since six in the morning. All the calls are looking for Comrade Lin Wan Yi!"

The messenger was panting.

"There’s the women’s federation, youth newspapers, and various universities... the lines are burning up!"

"There’s also mail!"

Outside the door, two young soldiers struggled to carry in a sack.

"The post office just delivered this, and they said it’s only part of it; there’s more coming!"

The sack’s opening was wide, and it was filled with envelopes like snowflakes.

Wang Xiu’e covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears.

"My God... this... this..."

Lin Wan Yi was utterly stunned.

She looked at the report and at the sack full of letters, feeling as if she were dreaming.

At this moment, voices were heard again at the door.

"Excuse me, is Comrade Lin Wan Yi here?"

Everyone turned around.

Two middle-aged men wearing Zhongshan suits and glasses stood at the door, each carrying a briefcase, exuding a refined demeanor.

The commander was a bit puzzled.

"You are?"

One of the slightly chubby men stepped forward, extending his hand warmly.

"Hello, Commander! I’m Li Jian Guo from the admissions office of Tsinghua University."

The other tall and thin man wasn’t willing to lag behind and also stepped forward.

"Hello, Commander! I’m Zhou Wenhai from the admissions office of Beijing University!"

Tsinghua? Peking?

Everyone in the room gasped.

These were the best two universities in the country!

Li Jian Guo looked at Lin Wan Yi with blazing eyes and made an offer directly.

"Comrade Lin Wan Yi! Our Tsinghua University sincerely invites you to enroll!"

"We will not only exempt all your tuition fees, but also apply for the highest amount of scholarships for you!"

"Additionally, we’ve already applied to the school to provide you a separate dormitory, making it easier for you to take care of your child!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenhai became anxious and hastily interrupted him.

"Mr. Li, this isn’t fair, we at Beijing University can also offer these!"

He turned to Lin Wan Yi, with an even more earnest attitude.

"Comrade Lin, we have studied your deeds. Your tenacious spirit is a role model for scholars like us! Come to our Beijing University! We have the deepest cultural heritage and the most prestigious scholars in the nation!"

Li Jian Guo sneered.

"Mr. Zhou, talking about those intangibles is pointless. Comrade Lin is a military dependent, with a family; we must consider practical issues!"

He looked at Lin Wan Yi again, delivering a bombshell.

"Comrade Lin, as long as you come to Tsinghua, we can also apply to the relevant departments to solve your Beijing household registration!"

"Furthermore, Tsinghua has many industries, and if Mr. Gu needs a job transfer in the future, we can help arrange it as well!"

This statement shocked everyone in the room.

Resolving a Beijing household registration? And helping arrange family employment?

This offer was simply like manna from heaven!

Wang Xiu’e’s mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

Zhou Wenhai’s face turned red with frustration.

"You... Tsinghua is too utilitarian!"

He stomped his foot, deciding to go all out as well.

"Comrade Lin! We at Beijing University can also solve the household registration issue! We can even let you directly participate in national key scientific research projects! After graduation, you can choose to stay at the university, or we can recommend you to work in the country’s core departments!"

"We cultivate the country’s pillars, not technical workers!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying Tsinghua doesn’t cultivate the country’s pillars?"

"I’m just stating the facts!"

The two respected university teachers, at the moment, were like market women fighting over cabbages, quarreling fiercely in front of the commander and everyone else.

At the doorway, an unknown number of military wives had already gathered to watch the commotion.

"My goodness, Tsinghua and Beijing University... are fighting right here?"

"For the sake of vying for Wanyi!"

"I’ve never seen such a spectacle in my life!"

"Wanyi has truly... brought glory to the family!"

Envious, jealous, and shocked gazes all focused on Lin Wan Yi.

And Lin Wan Yi, feeling bewildered by the commotion, could only look for help toward the wall.

Gu Yanshen stood there from beginning to end without saying a word.

He stood straight with his arms folded, his military uniform impeccably tailored, his expression stoic, like an emotionless statue.

But his gaze was like shackles, locked tightly onto Lin Wan Yi.

In that gaze, there was no joy, no pride, only a deep and unfathomable silence.

Lin Wan Yi’s heart subtly trembled under that gaze.

...

At night, the clamor finally subsided.

In the room, only the even breathing of two children remained.

Lin Wan Yi held two pieces of paper, one from Tsinghua and the other from Beijing University.

Both papers were thin, yet they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

She walked to the window, where Gu Yanshen stood with his back to her. His tall figure blended into the night, appearing somewhat lonely.

Lin Wan Yi walked up and gently hugged him from behind.

The man’s body was very stiff.

She handed the two pieces of paper to him, her voice very soft.

"Yanshen, which one do you think I should choose?"

The air froze.

After a long while, long enough that Lin Wan Yi thought he wouldn’t answer...

Gu Yanshen’s hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"Both are good."

He paused for a moment, then added.

"As long as you like."

After saying that, he gently released her hand, turned around without looking at her.

He strode toward the door, opened it, and walked out.
