I learned from the letter that the woman my mother loved was named Jiu You.
The mother's letters contained little sorrow, but were filled with love and longing, yet Jiang Cuo could discern a sense of helplessness within them.
So while she was in high school, she kept searching for the person named Jiu You. She eventually overheard the name and checked the university's official website. She found that the name was indeed the same. She then looked up the life story of Jiu You, who was the university president. She also inquired around and learned from her grandparents about the university her mother attended. She found that the timeline and location matched perfectly.
Jiang Cuo went back to the university forum from back then to look for posts from about 20 years ago, but unfortunately, communication was not as advanced at that time, and not many words were left behind.
However, Jiang Cuo was certain of one thing: the cause of this trouble was closely related to his mother.
But she also knew that the woman her mother loved deeply had already married and had children.
The last sentence of every letter my mother wrote was this.
It's because I miss you so much, how about you?
Jiang Cuo knew there was nothing she could do right now, but she wanted to figure this out.
At least find out that filthy biological father, the man who turned her into a mistake.
Jiang Cuo asked Su Qianqian to attend classes with her and go to the student council with her because she knew that without Su Qianqian's company, she might not have been able to enter the school's student council at all, let alone have the opportunity to meet Jiu You, who was the school's principal.
She started making plans back in high school.
He was admitted to university with top marks.
Su Qianqian's change was unexpected, and she never intended to take advantage of Su Qianqian.
But……
It's Su Qianqian who likes her, isn't it?
It was Su Qianqian who insisted on being with her. Su Qianqian had put in so much effort for her. Su Qianqian should be the happier to be with her. She was fulfilling Su Qianqian's wish, so how could it be considered taking advantage of her?
Jiang Cuo prepared himself mentally.
She is young, beautiful, and intelligent. She doesn't cheat, doesn't have affairs, and doesn't mess around. She's with Su Qianqian 24/7 and will listen to her on anything except her bottom line. She's even willing to raise Su Qianqian's child, though she has a little selfish motive. She should be considered a perfect girlfriend.
snort.
If Su Qianqian dares to dislike her, she... she won't have Su Qianqian's child.
...
Three days have passed.
Having Su Qianqian is like having a ticket to join the student council.
Because Su Qianqian is Jiang Cuo's devoted admirer, Jiang Cuo is always looked up to wherever he goes.
The student council president opened the back door directly, allowing neither of them to undergo an interview.
They even prepared a welcoming ceremony for the two of them.
Su Qianqian accompanied Jiang Cuo to classes all day and collapsed onto the bed. "Do you want to go to the welcoming ceremony?"
Jiang Cuo frowned slightly. She didn't like to waste her energy on useless things, and she could tell that the student council president was holding this ceremony simply to get closer to Su Qianqian, which she didn't like.
Jiang Cuo disliked crowds even more.
Jiang Cuo: "I don't want to go."
Su Qianqian lazily rolled over and said, "Then I won't go."
Jiang Cuo suddenly walked up to Su Qianqian with the cut fruit, then half-squatted down and used a toothpick to pick up a piece of peeled apple.
"Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't go? After all, the student council president invited us so enthusiastically. What if he later says that I didn't let you go?"
Su Qianqian sat up abruptly, her eyes wide. "She dares! Did she say something to your face? Did she say something nasty to you? I'm going to settle the score with her."
Jiang Cuo glanced to the side. "No, it's just that she asked me for your contact information, and I didn't give it to her. I don't know if she'll hold a grudge against me."
"It's just a contact number. If she didn't give it to me, she didn't give it to me. Besides, who does she think she is? Why would I add her?"
Upon hearing Su Qianqian's words, Jiang Cuo smiled with satisfaction. As soon as Su Qianqian opened her mouth, Jiang Cuo had already stood up and left, without even getting to eat the apple slices.
Jiang Cuo put the apple in her mouth and chewed it slowly. The student council president was a recognized beauty in her second year of college, the school's most beautiful girl, who used her beauty to get the position of student council president.
Although the student council president is elected by vote, as long as you are pretty and have many suitors, you can hold the position.
...
A week has passed, and the weekend is finally here.
It was also the first weekend since the start of the school year.
As for why there is no military training in college, in a world obsessed with romance, all you do is date. Military training would only make you uglier and darker, which is not conducive to dating, so it was naturally crossed out.
[Useless System: Host, you're too lazy! At least move around a bit! This is the most precious time of your youth!]
Su Qianqian was watching TV series and eating potato chips in her dormitory.
"Why should I move? Why should I work hard? It's because I can be lazy that I'm willing to work for your system."
Besides, I have more money than I can spend, and I don't even need to earn it myself, so what's wrong with you? When the integration of the system world reaches 100%, I will be the master of this system world, I will be the Heavenly Dao!
The useless system silently gave Su Qianqian a thumbs-up in its mind.
Suddenly, a message arrived.
Su Qianqian opened her phone and saw that it was a message from Lu Rong.
She and Lu Rong were high school classmates and were in the same class group, so Lu Rong added her contact information.
Deer Antler: [The student union held a team-building activity, a two-day, one-night camping trip. I must say, there are a lot of beautiful girls in the student union.]
Su Qianqian's hand, which was holding potato chips, suddenly caught sight of the phrase "there are many beautiful women."
Su Qianqian: [You've joined the student council too?]
Lu Rong: [I ended up in the publicity department by accident. Want to relax with Jiang Cuo?]
Su Qianqian quickly put away the potato chips. She didn't want to look at the beautiful women; the main reason was that Lu Rong would have a lot of roles in the future and would be a capable assistant, so she needed to get along well with Lu Rong.
Su Qianqian immediately went next door and knocked on Jiang Cuo's door.
Su Qianqian assumed that Jiang Cuo already knew, so she didn't elaborate.
Jiang Cuo heard the gist of it and assumed that he and Su Qianqian were going together.
He frowned slightly. "Two days and one night? Does that mean we'll have to spend the night outside?"
Su Qianqian nodded, "Don't worry, if Jiang Jiang doesn't want to set up a tent, I can have the housekeeper bring a campervan over."
Jiang Cuo seemed to have thought of something, and a faint blush suddenly rose to her face. She muttered a few words to herself.
"I didn't expect him to remember this so clearly, and even drive a campervan..."
Su Qianqian didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Jiang Cuo immediately straightened his expression and cleared his throat, "It's nothing, we don't need a motorhome, a tent will do."
Su Qianqian's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Cuo readily agree.
Jiang Cuo, seeing the glint in Su Qianqian's eyes, misunderstood even more.
He stood up and walked to Su Qianqian, lowered his head slightly, stared into Su Qianqian's almond-shaped eyes, and said shyly, "It's not safe or clean in the wild. When we get back, I'll do whatever you want."

Chapter Forty-Eight
The next day, Su Qianqian was especially excited on her way there.
Jiang Cuo had completely misunderstood, thinking that Su Qianqian was going to play some new trick. He wanted to dissuade her, but he was too embarrassed to speak up, and his whole face turned completely red.
"Why is your face so hot? Are you carsick? Or do you have a fever? The weather is so warm, how could you catch a cold?"
Su Qianqian sat in the car and reached out her hand to Jiang Cuo. She placed the back of her hand on Jiang Cuo's forehead to check his temperature, then placed her hand back on her own forehead to compare the temperature.
Finding no significant difference and unable to discern anything, he grabbed Jiang Cuo's wrist, pulled her close, and then slightly straightened up, pressing his head against hers until their foreheads were touching.
Su Qianqian closed her eyes and carefully felt the temperature on Jiang Cuo's forehead.
Jiang Cuo's heart raced, and he hurriedly closed his eyes. But after waiting for a long time, he only felt a slight touch on his forehead, but there was no change on his lips. He looked up in confusion and saw that Su Qianqian had returned to her original position.
"If you don't have a fever, why is your face so hot?"
Jiang Cuo picked at his palm with his thumb.
I blame myself for overthinking, always imagining scenarios that didn't happen. I feel both ashamed and resentful.
It's all because Su Qianqian always teases her, stirs up her emotions, and constantly does things that make her misunderstand.
"It's probably because it was too stuffy in the car."
"I'll roll down all the car windows to let in some fresh air, but it's really hot."
When they arrived at the destination, Su Qianqian saw that Lu Rong and other students she didn't know were already setting up tents and waiting for them.
After Jiang Cuo got out of the car, he looked suspiciously at the group of people in front of him.
There were about seven or eight of them. "Who are they?"
Su Qianqian turned her head to look at Jiang Cuo and asked questioningly, "Don't you know? Lu Rong told us that the student council is organizing a team building activity, two days and one night."
Jiang Cuo's eyes immediately darkened, "I thought..."
Su Qianqian, "What did you think?"
Jiang Cuo: "Nothing, where's the tent?"
Su Qianqian raised her chin haughtily, as if asking for credit, and pointed to an exquisite tent in the corner, "Of course I won't let my Jiang Jiang suffer. I already had the housekeeper send someone to deliver the tent. It has everything inside, and it's very well insulated."
