"A toad wishing to eat swan meat thinks he can marry Little Xixi with his capabilities?"

Wang Ping, whose anger was just subdued, became irate again. Swiftly, he kicked Wang Dayang to the ground and pointed at his nose, cursing loudly.

"Do you know what kind of level Little Xixi is at? She's been recommended by Qingbei University! She is one in a billion talented students!"

Wang Ping could not suppress his rage when this matter was brought up. In his era, becoming a university student was an extraordinary achievement that brought honor to the family.

There were few college students in 1990. Let alone, Liu Ruoxi was recommended to Qingbei University, which was the pinnacle university in the entire nation. Even Wang Ping, a coarse man, recognized the reputation of this school. The locals around were proud of her.

Once she graduated, countless institutions would be vying for her. She might even hold a stable job in the government. Everyone was looking forward to Liu Ruoxi's promising future, but an unexpected incident happened.

The hope of the whole county turned into the laughingstock of the entire county. Wang Ping even felt ashamed to the point that he wanted to take Wang Dayang to apologize with death!

And what about Wang Dayang?

Poor in studies, he dropped out of high school to work on a construction site. Because of his weak physique, he wasn't wanted and spent his days idle at home.

Not only old Liu, but Wang Ping himself also believed that Wang Dayang was incompetent. He was not worthy of Liu Ruoxi.

"That's enough, Old Wang, say less. If everyone comes to surround her, then Little Xixi's life will be utterly ruined!"

Old Liu threw away his cigarette butt and said solemnly to him.

"This can't go on, we can't let her reputation be tarnished! Little Xixi, what do you think?"

As soon as he said this, all eyes were on Liu Ruoxi.

She glanced at the bloodied Wang Dayang and spoke to the people present.

"I want to speak with him alone."

Wang Ping and Old Liu exchanged glances, Old Liu nodded, and the few men left unanimously. As Wang Ping was leaving, he gave Wang Dayang a warning look, signaling to Wang Dayang not to mess around.

Liu Ruoxi was curled up in the corner of the wall with a bedsheet, her hair messy, her red and swollen eyes still had some tear marks, which made Wang Dayang felt a twinge of heartache.

Blood flowed into his eyes, Wang Dayang’s vision started to blur. He rubbed his eyes hard, but it still stayed the same.

Suddenly, memories of his past life flashed through like a slideshow, Wang Dayang's mind became exceptionally clear, he had a feeling at this moment, it seemed that… his memory had suddenly soared.

When he managed to collect himself and raised his head, he saw a scene that made his blood rush.

The tightly-wrapped bedsheet on Liu Ruoxi gradually became translucent, her white delicate body started to appear.

"I'm sorry."

Wang Dayang hurriedly bowed his head, forcing himself not to pay attention to the pair of whiteness. At this moment, his heart was already stirred by monstrous waves.

Is this... X-ray vision?

His gaze shot to the thermos beside him, clearly seeing the water level inside the liner. At this moment, Wang Dayang finally confirmed that he had gained a power that men dream of.

X-ray vision!

"Is sorry useful? Was what you just said sincere?"

Wang Dayang paused slightly, then looked at Liu Ruoxi with a determined gaze.

"I sincerely want to marry you. If you stay with me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

In her past life, she had fled due to her own timidity and self-loathing, without ever considering the consequences it may have had on her.

Now, given the chance to start over, Wang Dayang would never let history repeat itself!

Seeing Wang Dayang’s determined gaze, Liu Ruoxi felt somewhat dazed.

Wang Dayang had dropped out of school quite early, couldn't earn much money from his job and mostly did nothing meaningful. Many people in the town didn't think highly of him, yet their relationship had always been good, which was why they ended up together after having a drink.

Though they were friends, Liu Ruoxi never thought she would ever share her bed with Wang Dayang.

She had never experienced love or the rumored life of a university student, her innocence taken away by Wang Dayang.

Now, she had no choice but to marry him, making Liu Ruoxi somewhat skeptical. Had all this been part of Wang Dayang’s plan?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her sense of grievance gradually became dislike towards Wang Dayang, and she coldly retorted.

"What do you have to offer me? No education, can't hold down a decent job. Are you expecting me to support you after I graduate from university?"

Liu Ruoxi’s reason for studying hard to get into a top university was to escape poverty and get rich, so she could find a good partner, and lead a good life for herself and her family.

But now, everything was ruined, her purity had been tarnished, and she had to marry a loafer.

Even if she chose not to marry him, her purity was already tainted. How would she get married then? How would the neighbors and relatives perceive her, and her parents?

At this thought, Liu Ruoxi was overwhelmed by despair, with thoughts of suicide suddenly surfacing in her mind.

"What if I get admitted to the same university as you, would that prove that I am capable of taking good care of you?"

Wang Dayang suddenly looked up, his gaze firmly meeting Liu Ruoxi's. His determined look was enough to stun her.

"You must be joking!"

Liu Ruoxi gave a cold smile. She and Wang Dayang had grown up together; she knew him inside out. He would be lucky to get into a vocational school, let alone Tsinghua Peking University.

"I don't mean to belittle you, but in our county, only two slots are opened for students. Moreover, the college entrance examination is in just seven days. How on earth can you make it to Tsinghua?"

Since Liu Ruoxi was admitted through a special recommendation and her admission didn't take up any slots, it didn't affect the other two prospects. But clearing the Tsinghua grade line was not a piece of cake.

Little did she realize, Wang Dayang had recently discovered an astonishing fact. His memory had explosively improved!

In his previous life, he had been a successful entrepreneur after many years of struggle following his release from prison.

But the matter with Liu Ruoxi was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had dreamed numerous times of clearing the same university entrance exam as Liu Ruoxi, thus making up for the regret of his past life.

To make amends, he had revisited and collected the exam papers used that year.

Now, with his enhanced memory, every question was still clear as day to him!

The dreaded college entrance examination felt more like an open-book test to him!

"It's alright, I am still enrolled; all I need is seven days. I, Wang Dayang, swear, if I fail to make it, I'll turn myself into the police and go to prison!"

Looking at the self-confident Wang Dayang in front of her, a glint of interest flashed across Liu Ruoxi's eyes.

Why did he seem...different from before?

...

Sure enough, just as in the previous life, the matter about Liu Ruoxi was eventually disclosed.

However, unlike the previous life, this time an additional joke made the rounds. "The old Wang's lad, in pursuit of the old Liu's girl, has to get into Tsinghua or Peking University within seven days."

This news spread throughout the city's streets and alleys like it had wings. A high school dropout aiming to get into Tsinghua or Peking University became a joke for people to talk about after dinner.

Anytime someone mentioned this news, they would laugh so hard they couldn't close their mouths. "If he gets into Tsinghua or Peking University in seven days, I'll eat this table!"

"Nevermind Tsinghua or Peking University, if he gets into community college, I will kneel down and kowtow to him twice!"

Wang Ping sighed at home all day long. Even though old Liu had also agreed to this, everybody knew deep down that Wang Dayang would never get into Tsinghua or Peking University. In the end, he would still have to go to prison.

But... what if?

What if Dayang really gets into Tsinghua or Peking University?
