Female-to-male: I live on farming

Su Mian glanced at Li Nanqiao with a hint of helplessness, stretched out her hand to lift the hair by her ear, and said, "I heard that Auntie has been brought here. Since you are not on duty, why don't you rest at home and accompany Auntie. Auntie is unfamiliar with this place and needs to slowly adapt to it."

After Li Nanqiao settled down in the capital, he sent a letter to his mother who was still in Liangzhou. She had just arrived in the capital a few years ago and reunited with Li Nanqiao.

Su Mian's words seemed very considerate on the surface, but Li Nanqiao couldn't help but hear the hidden meaning behind her words.

But she understood, but she would rather not understand. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Su Mian sighed softly, not knowing what to do with her.

But she also knew that dragging it on like this would not be good for both parties, and she had already made up her mind to end the relationship. Since she couldn't give anything to the other party, then he shouldn't waste her time.

She made up her mind secretly and said cruelly, "Nan Qiao, you have a promising future now, you shouldn't waste your time on me. Now that your aunt has arrived in the capital, why don't you let your aunt find a suitable marriage for you."

Li Nanqiao found this statement extremely irritating.

When did she realize her own thoughts? When she was in Qinghe Village, she had never thought about this issue and felt that the men in the village were not as good as her.

The most cultured and best man she had ever met was Qin Langjun, but she had never had any romantic thoughts about him.

Until she met Su Mian, she had never seen a woman who lived such a passionate and lively life. Her soft heart and flamboyant beauty seemed to be two extremes, attracting and seducing her.

After seeing her, she couldn't take her eyes off her.

Later, she was transferred to follow His Majesty to the capital. She was shocked to realize that the other person occupied her entire heart. If she couldn't see her for a day, she would feel itchy in her heart.

She hasn't read many books and her thoughts are very pure. She likes her and just wants to stay with her and watch her, which is enough for her.

"…Someone came here to cause trouble a while ago, and I just stopped by to take a look." Li Nanqiao took a long time to come up with this reason.

She herself knew how ridiculous this excuse was.

Seeing that she avoided the question and talked about other things, and never looked up at her, Su Mian felt a pain somewhere in his heart.

She shrugged her delicate nose, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, did you hear me? Don't waste your time on me. I'm not worth it."

“…It’s worth it.”

Li Nanqiao suddenly raised his head, and looked at her deeply with a pair of dark eyes. His expression was extremely serious and firm.

Su Mian's eyes started to feel sore due to the seriousness. He was the first to give up the eye contact and turned his head to look at the dry branches covered with frost in the yard.

Su Mian, who was good at playing with people's feelings, did not realize at this time that to reject the other party, a simple sentence of "I don't like you" or "I don't like women" would be enough.

Somewhere deep in her subconscious, she subconsciously blocked an option.

It was at this time that Sheng Tang arrived at Suxue, and the servant who came to report interrupted the strange atmosphere between them.

Su Mian took a look at the post written by Lu Youqing, then stood up and paused when passing by Li Nanqiao.

"Go back and think about it carefully. If there is nothing else, don't come again."

She said this in a very gentle tone, but every word hit her heart like a hammer, causing both pain and numbness.

Li Nanqiao stared at her figure blankly until it condensed into a tiny black dot and could no longer be seen. She stood there like a sculpture for a long time... for a long time without moving.

……

"Mr. Su is well."

When Sheng Tang saw the person coming towards him, he was stunned for a moment, and only when the person was almost in front of him did he hurriedly salute.

Su Mian has long been accustomed to such reactions. Many people who come here because of her reputation are surprised to see her. Under normal circumstances, when she sees such a shy girl, she might even make a few jokes.

But at this moment, Li Nanqiao's sad face was still in her mind, so she had no interest at all.

After a brief introduction, he asked the servant to take her around.

Sheng Tang had mastered the skill of observing people's words and expressions in the Sheng Mansion. He could see that Su Mian was not in a good mood and thought he was disturbing her, so he felt quite nervous.

"I'm not feeling well today. If you need anything, just ask the housekeeper." Su Mian saw her uneasiness and comforted her softly before leaving.

Sheng Tang's uneasy mood gradually disappeared as he saw more and more students. For convenience, most of the candidates living in Suxue also wore comfortable and loose gowns.

Until she finally arrived at the most precious and mysterious library of Su Xue Zhong. Just as she was on the road, she saw many people walking towards the library.

When you push the door open, you are greeted by a warm breath, which forms a sharp contrast with the cold air outside.

When she first lived in the Sheng Mansion, the charcoal allocated to her courtyard every winter was very little, and it was all of the very low-quality charcoal on the market, so she could only use it sparingly.

Therefore, her room was very cold and she would get frostbite on her hands when it was cold.

This year at the Lu Mansion, she realized for the first time that winter could be so warm, much warmer than the main courtyard of the Sheng Mansion.

Now that she had entered Su Xue's library, she knew that only the Lu Mansion could be compared to the one that could burn charcoal for heating in winter.

The library is a two-story attic. Looking around, the second floor is filled with rows of bookshelves filled with books, while the first floor has many tables and chairs.

Many people sat together in groups of three or four, reading or discussing in low voices.

This library was renovated by Qin Ke based on the design of a modern library. The second floor is for the books, which are classified according to their content; the first floor is a dedicated reading area.

Candidates who come here can choose to study quietly alone in their own rooms; if they want to borrow books, they just need to simply register at the door.

In addition, several people can gather together on the first floor of the library to read and discuss issues. The people here are very well-mannered. Even when discussing, they will consciously lower their voices to avoid disturbing others as much as possible.

The moment Sheng Tang stepped into the library, she was surrounded by a strong learning atmosphere. Everyone here was focused on the books in their hands, immersed in the ocean of knowledge. They were either quietly flipping through books or whispering with their companions. Everything was in order.

At first sight, she fell in love with this place.

In order not to disturb others, she quietly went to the second floor to find the imperial examination papers from previous years and found a corner to sit down.
