Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

There were many people who went to Baichuan Academy with Lin Jingchen, but Lin Jingchen did not attract other people's attention at first.

New arrivals at Baichuan Academy would be assigned accommodation. Logically speaking, this separate house and yard for two people would not be Lin Jingchen's turn.

Those who had better grades than him paid extra money to live in better dormitories, while the others lived in courtyards that were just right for six or eight people. He was lucky to get this place and lived in the same courtyard with Xiao Nanchi.

The two of them got along very well, and were getting better and better. I don't know when they became extra good.

There is still one month left before Lin Jingchen takes the college entrance examination.

Tomorrow is a day off, and Xiao Nanchi knocked on Lin Jingchen's door in the moonlight.

The door opened quickly. Lin Jingchen opened the door without asking Xiao Nanchi why he came to see him. He walked in, took the candle on the desk to the small table in the middle, and waited for Xiao Nanchi to follow.

Xiao Nanchi had already poured tea for the two of them in a familiar manner.

"You should also not study so late, it will hurt your body and eyes. With your knowledge, you will definitely pass the exam."

"I didn't see it that late either. So where do you get so much confidence in me?"

"I am telling the truth, without any falsehood."

"Tell me what's going on."

"Want to go shopping tomorrow?"

"Where to go?"

"Let's go for a walk on the streets of the prefectural city. It seems that you haven't been out to play much in such a long time since you came to the academy. Go out and relax tomorrow, and buy some things and clothes."

"it is good."

I didn't go very early in the morning. I just walked around and bought a few clothes and the time was gone.

They entered a relatively famous restaurant.

Lin Jingchen took a sip of the fine tea and said, "We made an appointment in advance. What if I don't come out to play today?"

Xiao Nanchi drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp. "If you don't want to come out, then don't come out. I'll study with you in the yard."

These two sentences of conversation sounded strange to his ears, but Lin Jingchen couldn't figure out what was strange about them for a moment, so he put it out of his mind.

They finished most of the dishes they ordered. After all, they were both at the growing age and had big appetites.

“The food here is really delicious.”

But he still missed the taste of home food. Also in the restaurant, although the food here was delicious, he missed the taste of mortal restaurant.

Xiao Nanchi poured Lin Jingchen a cup of tea, "What are you thinking about?

"It's nothing. After you pass the college entrance examination, I will take you back to Yong'an Town with me. Once you have tasted the food in the Mortal Restaurant, you will never forget it.

"Okay, then I'll taste it."

In the afternoon, the two of them were playing when they ran into other people in the academy, all of whom were young men from wealthy families.

The two of them had nothing to do, so they accepted their invitation.

When they arrived, the two people who were in the same carriage with them got off first. Xiao Nanchi whispered to Lin Jingchen, "I'll teach you how to play later. If you don't want to play, just sit aside and watch."

The look he gave Lin Jingchen was soothing.

"Okay, don't worry, I won't be uncomfortable."

Xiao Nanchi's caring words made Lin Jingchen feel warm in his heart. There were people of his age in the village who were about to get married. He was always the reliable one among his friends in the village academy, and few people cared about him in such small details.

There are a wide variety of toys here, all gathered in one place, so you don't have to run far away to find other ones after playing one.

They first played pitch pot. Some of them had played it before and some had not, but it didn't make much difference. So far three of them had tried several times but none of them had scored.

"Something's wrong! I was pretty good at pitching pots before, and I got in seven out of ten times. What happened this time?"

"The people who hadn't thrown the ball yet couldn't stand what he said, 'You're just bragging, you hit the target seven times out of ten, and I hit it ten, eleven, and nineteen times."

He threw away what he was holding and hit the person next to him on the back, "Sun He, you are disgusted, right?"

"Ah! Spare my life!"

The two of them were chasing each other and it was very lively.

Xiao Nanchi discovered something. "The distance of this game seems to be different from what we played before."

"?! It seems so!"

After their observations, they determined that the distance had changed, and those who had played before and used the previous techniques would not be able to throw the ball in.

"Xiao Nanchi, are you coming?"

"You guys go first, I'll be in a while."

Xiao Nanchi was explaining the techniques of pitching pots to the person next to him, and Lin Jingchen was listening attentively. At this time, the distance between their faces was only two fists.

One speaks seriously with a gentle tone, and observes the expressions of the people around him from time to time. The other listens attentively, and will look at the other person when he is not paying attention.

It seemed as if there was no way a third person could come in between the two of them, as if there was an invisible protective film.

Sun He, who was sitting on the chair over there, felt sour when he saw this that he couldn't help but tease, "You two have such a good relationship, like a young couple!"

"What are you talking about?"

Xiao Nanchi picked up the arrow at hand and threw it at Sun He, who quickly dodged to the side.

He watched the arrow fall to the ground, just brushing past the chair he was sitting on.

Xiao Nanchi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Jingchen's expression didn't change.

Lin Jingchen looked calm on the surface, but he was uneasy in his heart because of what Sun He said just now.

They played pitching pots, cockfighting, cricket fighting, and mahjong until the evening, when everyone had dinner and then returned to the academy.

The moon has risen high, illuminating the road beneath our feet.

Xiao Nanchi looked at the person beside him who was wrapped in the soft moonlight, "Did you have fun today?"

"Very happy."

Lin Jingchen smiled sincerely and brightly.

It took a lot of willpower for Xiao Nanchi to move his eyes away.

"Have a good rest tonight."

"it is good."

Lin Jingchen, who was lying on the bed after taking a shower, did not feel sleepy at all. He had indeed focused on studying during this period of time. Today he went out to relax for a day, threw his books aside, and had fun and relaxed to his heart's content. He was indeed very happy.

Maybe I couldn’t sleep because I had too much fun and was too excited today, Lin Jingchen said this to himself in his heart, not wanting to think about it too much.

The college entrance examination was soon approaching. Lin Jingchen faced the exam with a good attitude, calm and composed, without a trace of panic or fear. He did things in an orderly manner and at his own pace.

All the students who took the exam with him in the same academy this year looked much thinner, but Lin Jingchen looked at himself and found that he had not changed at all.

I can’t lose weight even though Xiao Nanchi drags me to eat delicious meals in big restaurants every day.

Every few days when the exams were changed, Xiao Nanchi would wait for Lin Jingchen at the door early in the morning. In order to stand in front so that Lin Jingchen could see him as soon as he came out, the young master arrived an hour or two early.

"Jingchen!"

Xiao Nanchi waved at Lin Jingchen.

Lin Jingchen waved in response to Xiao Nanchi and ran quickly to him.

Xiao Nanchi took the things from Lin Jingchen's hand and said, "Congratulations, the exam is finally over!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I want to go back to take a shower and eat."

Lin Jingchen pulled Xiao Nanchi out of the crowd.

Xiao Nanchi looked at Lin Jingchen's hand holding his arm, his eyebrows curved.

Xiao Nanchi held Lin Jingchen's hand with his backhand and pulled Lin Jingchen who was walking forward, "This way."

"what?"

"The carriage is parked over there."

"okay."

Lin Jingchen followed Xiao Nanchi's steps. The feeling of another person's hand made him feel a little awkward. His heartbeat was abnormal.

Lin Jingchen looked at their clasped hands. Both hands were slender and white. Xiao Nanchi's hands were bigger than his. He could feel the calluses on Xiao Nanchi's hands left by practicing sword and bow and arrow.

This was the first time that Xiao Nanchi had openly held Lin Jingchen's hand. Although his heart was in turmoil, he did not show it on his face.

The two of them looked at each other in silence for this short distance, but there were many people around, and the noisy voices covered up the slight awkwardness.

"I have had food prepared in the yard and the water for bathing has been boiled. I will take a bath and eat when I return. What is it like in there? Is the environment bad?"

"Not very good, but better than when I took the provincial exam. It was really uncomfortable to stay in there."

"This is my last exam here. You don't have to endure this torture again."

When they got into the carriage, the two of them talked, and the vague sense of strangeness disappeared.
