Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 639: Stop Staying Up Late

Mu Qiancheng stood in front of Jiang Xue for a while, but she didn’t notice him, showing just how focused she was on her book. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

However, seeing her like this, Mu Yucheng couldn’t help himself. He reached out and took the book from her hands, placing it to the side.

Once the book was taken away, Jiang Xue finally reacted. She looked up at Mu Qiancheng, questioning him with her eyes.

Meeting Jiang Xue’s gaze, Mu Qiancheng said, "Xue’er, stop reading. It’s late. Go rest."

"Can I read a bit more?" Jiang Xue looked at Mu Qiancheng, pleadingly. It was just past ten, and she usually read until midnight.

"Xue’er, don’t stay up too late. Rest early. Staying up is bad for your eyes and health." Mu Qiancheng held onto the book, unwilling to return it to Jiang Xue. He didn’t want his young wife to push herself by staying up late. Seeing her like this made him want to suggest she not take the university entrance exam at all.

"It’s fine. It’s not like I’m up late every day. It’s just for this month or two; once the exam is over, it’ll be fine." Jiang Xue said nonchalantly. She knew staying up wasn’t good for her, but to pass the exam in one go, she had to use her time wisely.

Moreover, she planned to start a company, though she hadn’t had time to work on it or write a business plan, because the exam was approaching.

"Xue’er, it’s okay if you don’t pass. You really don’t have to push yourself so hard. No matter your degree, I will never look down on you." Mu Qiancheng reached out and embraced Jiang Xue. Seeing her work so hard, he felt distressed.

If he could, he really didn’t want Jiang Xue to take the exam.

"I know, but I still want to challenge myself," Jiang Xue said with a smile. In both her past and present lives, she’d never attended university or received a degree.

Now, since she already had a child, going to university wasn’t feasible. But nothing stopped her from obtaining a university degree through other means.

This was her obsession across two lifetimes. So no matter what, she had to try. As long as she worked hard, she could accept the outcome, even if it wasn’t what she hoped for.

"Xue’er, I don’t want you to work so hard!" Mu Qiancheng said with a tender heart.

"Doing what I love and striving for my goals—I don’t find it hard at all." Jiang Xue shook her head, not wanting Mu Qiancheng to worry. She truly didn’t feel it was hard; she actually found her days fulfilling.

"Since you say so, I won’t stop you, but you must go to bed by eleven." Mu Qiancheng set his requirement for Jiang Xue. Since he couldn’t stop her, he would set a time limit for her.

Jiang Xue originally wanted to say she’d sleep at midnight, but when she looked up and met Mu Qiancheng’s eyes, she swallowed her words and said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you!"

"Well, it’s almost eleven now, so stop reading."

Jiang Xue checked the time. It was 10:50, only ten minutes to eleven, so she didn’t insist on reading further and put her book away.

After tidying her books, Jiang Xue took her clothes to shower, then lay in Mu Qiancheng’s arms and closed her eyes.

Mu Qiancheng originally planned to chat with Jiang Xue, but when he turned and saw she was already asleep, he decided against it. He gently stroked her brows, feeling even more tenderhearted.

He knew that Jiang Xue had fallen asleep so quickly because she was tired. It seemed that in the future, he had to ensure she rested earlier.

With this thought, Mu Qiancheng soon closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At that moment, in the dormitory of the cultural troupe in the military district, Lu Ling lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
