After dropping off Su Xiaowan off at the alley by the school, Han Dongchen reluctantly gave her a quick kiss, saying, "Xiao Wan, behave well at school. Ignore those pedantic scholars. I'll pick you up over the weekend."
Su Xiaowan nodded with a smile.
Han Dongchen continued, "You don't have to worry about school, everything is taken care of. I anticipate your roommate will apologize to you. Do as you see fit."
"And remember, if anything happens, go find your counselor for help. The school administration and your counselor know about your identity, but no one else does."
"Do whatever you want at school, be who you want to be. I wouldn't care about risking my life for our country, but you, my wife, have to live comfortably."
Su Xiaowan nodded as Han Dongchen rambled on, but when she heard the end, she felt a pang of sadness.
