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

After the banquet, Lin Jingchen put returning to the academy on the agenda.

The closer they got to the academy, the more nervous Lin Jingchen became.

Outside carriages were not allowed to enter the academy and had to stop at the entrance.

Lin Jingchen got off the carriage and helped the driver to move the things down.

Lin Jingchen saw that there was still no sign of Xiao Nanchi, and he felt relieved but also a little disappointed.

He really couldn't understand why he was so lost.

The driver said, "I'll tie the carriage over there first, and then we can move the things to the yard where we live."

"it is good."

Lin Jingchen was waiting at the door for the coachman to tie up the carriage. He looked at the two large baskets of things on the ground. Many of them were fresh food and useful things that Brother Ci had researched. He even took an extra portion of each.

What a waste! He didn't even come to pick him up.

He didn't expect that he didn't write to Xiao Nanchi to tell him when he would arrive.

A very familiar voice, "Jingchen!"

Lin Jingchen looked up and saw Xiao Nanchi, who was wearing a blue suit, running towards him.

Xiao Nanchi stopped in front of Lin Jingchen and panted a little hurriedly, "I'm late."

"not late."

Lin Jingchen himself didn't know that his eyes lit up when he heard Xiao Nanchi's voice.

Lin Jingchen thought that they would get along as before. After all, from the entrance of the academy to the courtyard where they lived, and in the past half morning, their interactions had not changed much.

He couldn't help but feel relieved, but he also felt a little...

Things were not as Lin Jingchen thought.

After running around for a few days, he took a nap at noon. When he woke up, he saw that the sun was shining brightly outside, so Lin Jingchen pulled a chair and went out to bask in the sun.

Hearing the sound of the gate being pushed open, Lin Jingchen opened his eyes and said, "I'm back."

Xiao Nanchi came up to Lin Jingchen, bent down and looked at him, "Aren't you curious about where I went?"

"So - where did you go? What did you do?"

Lin Jingchen's words obviously pleased Xiao Nanchi.

"I'm going to get something very important."

Xiao Nanchi took his hands out from behind his back and unfolded them, revealing a jade pendant.

"very nice."

"Well, you take it first, and I'll go get a chair."

Xiao Nanchi placed the jade pendant in Lin Jingchen's arms and ran to move a chair.

Lin Jingchen looked at the white jade in his hand. It was very beautiful with a hint of purple. The pattern on it was simple and elegant, and the rope tassels matched well.

Xiao Nanchi sat next to him, "Do you like it?"

"Ok?"

"Do you like this jade pendant?"

"Who wouldn't like such a beautiful jade pendant?"

Lin Jingchen handed the jade pendant to Xiao Nanchi.

Xiao Nanchi took it and placed it in his palm, then spread his hand out and placed it on the armrest of the chair between the two of them.

"My mother gave me this jade pendant when I was a child. I wore it for a long time. Later, my mother said that this was for my future daughter-in-law. I am just keeping it for her. I kept it well. A few days ago, I wrote a letter to my mother and asked her to send it to me."

Lin Jingchen, who was originally lying on the chair and relaxing while listening to Xiao Nanchi, stopped breathing for a moment.

"Because my heart has found its owner."

Xiao Nanchi looked at Lin Jingchen seriously and devoutly.

"Can you take it?"

Lin Jingchen's eyelashes fluttered, his heart was beating like a drum, and he didn't dare to look back at Xiao Nanchi's eyes for a moment.

"I like you, Lin Jingchen."

This time, Lin Jingchen turned his head to look at Xiao Nanchi in surprise, and met the pair of eyes that were looking at him devoutly and full of love.

"I like you, Lin Jingchen."

Devoted and steadfast.

The heat seemed to burn people's hearts through the eyes. Lin Jingchen drooped his eyelashes due to the burn, and opened his mouth, not knowing what kind of answer to give.

One moment, two moments...

Xiao Nanchi still had a smile on his face, but it was full of bitterness.

"it does not matter."

The two looked at each other, and Lin Jingchen saw the sadness in Xiao Nanchi's eyes. He impulsively wanted to agree to him, but reason prevailed.

"sorry."

"Don't apologize."

Xiao Nanchi handed the jade pendant to Lin Jingchen, "Can you reconsider it?"

Lin Jingchen looked at Xiao Nanchi, unable to bear to refuse him again, and took the jade pendant.

Xiao Nanchi thought that since Lin Jingchen had temporarily accepted the jade pendant he gave him, he still had some interest in him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to perform well.

Lin Jingchen really couldn't bear to reject Xiao Nanchi at that time, so he agreed the second time after he rejected him the first time.

At night, sitting in front of a candlelit desk, she picked up the jade pendant on the desk.

This was the first time he analyzed his own heart so clearly.

If you ask him whether he has feelings for Xiao Nanchi, he does have a little bit of feelings for him. Before, he thought that this was just the relationship between good friends. But on the night after Xiao Nanchi left Linjia Village, he thought about it carefully and he had the answer in his heart at that time.

But it was so clear in his mind when he thought carefully about his relationship with Xiao Nanchi.

You don't have to be together just because you like someone a little bit. It also depends on whether you are suitable for each other.

He also had some concerns. After his older brother went to serve in the military, his family had been doing their best to support his studies.

What they would like to see is that he graduates from high school, becomes an official, and gets married and has children when he reaches the right age.

He didn't want to embarrass or disappoint his family, and he didn't want his parents to become the talk of the town in the nearby villages.

And the most important thing to consider is, can two people with such different identities and statuses be together for long?

Once he made his choice, there was no turning back.

He knows clearly what he wants. He doesn't want emotional issues, especially if they affect his life and career after they break up.

You can say he is cold and selfish, or you can say he is precocious and steady.

His thoughts couldn't help but wander away. If Xiao Nanchi completely understood him, would he still want to be with him?

Xiao Nanchi is a very good person, good in every way, but why do I like him?

Lin Jingchen lay on the table, holding the jade pendant in his fingers and looking at it in the candlelight.

I thought about it for an hour but couldn't figure it out.

"Jingchen, I've just learned a new dish. I'll tell you about it and let you try it at noon!"

"Jingchen, my brother asked someone to bring me some special beef jerky. I'll take it and we can try it together."

"Jingchen, my parents, brothers and sisters have no objection to my liking men, you can rest assured."

"Jingchen, I saw Ji Yunqi's folding fan yesterday. I asked him for some good paper. Can you write a few words for me?"

"Jingchen, my mother asked someone to send me some cloth. Let's measure our sizes and make a suit."

"Jingchen, you..."

"Jingchen..."

Lin Jingchen really didn't expect that Xiao Nanchi would be so enthusiastic and clingy since that day.

"I'm a little sleepy. I'm going back to my room to sleep. We'll talk another day."

Lin Jingchen closed the door, listened to the footsteps gradually fading away, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Nanchi's enthusiasm made him a little overwhelmed. Every time he looked into his passionate eyes, he couldn't help but soften his heart. As they got along day by day, he found that it was very easy for a man to fall in love with Xiao Nanchi.

Xiao Nanchi did not spread his kindness to him, but many people who were on good terms with them noticed it.

Lin Jingchen knew that he had to make a decision quickly, as the longer he delayed, the worse things would get.

Lin Jingchen couldn't wait any longer and went straight to the gate, "Is there a letter from Lin Jingchen?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

He found someone to talk to about his relationship problems.

People who are in the situation often cannot see clearly and need outsiders to point it out, but he didn't have anyone suitable to talk to, so he wrote letters to his eldest brother and Brother Ci.

The letter he wrote contained everything that was in his mind. Perhaps because he had not said it to them in person, he did not feel embarrassed or ashamed and told them everything.

They knew that they also had feelings for Xiao Nanchi. In his reply, Brother Ci said that if they loved each other, why not give it a try to be together, otherwise it would be a regret in the future, a regret for a lifetime.

Most of them advised him not to worry too much about his family, and they would definitely support him no matter what choice he made.

Don't care about people in the surrounding villages making fun of your parents. Qingyunfang will only grow bigger in the future, and no one dares to say anything if they want to work and get paid. This is the confidence your family gives you to choose a partner at will.

Lin Jingchen put his hand on his heart. Since he liked Xiao Nanchi, he might as well give it a try and be a little willful.
