After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Shen Xiaoxia's face inadvertently appeared in his mind. Jiang Yan's originally cold eyebrows became more gentle, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. His smile was particularly obvious, as if his whole body was emitting a different kind of joy!

Qin Song, who was standing by, saw his expression clearly and couldn't help but tsk tsk twice. His tone was long and drawn out, with a hint of teasing and curiosity. Then he said, "Tell me, what good thing happened to you?"

Jiang Yan glanced up at him, wanting to keep it a secret, but unable to suppress the urge to share it with others, "You want to know?"

In between Qin Song's nods, he smiled and said, "Secret...!"

Qin Song rolled his eyes at him and curled his lips when he heard this. "You're still keeping it a secret, as if no one wants to know!"

Don’t say it, he was really surprised. After knowing each other for so long, this was at least the first time he saw Jiang Yan like this!

I felt a little itchy for a moment, but seeing Jiang Yan's smug look, I felt a little itchy again, "If you have the guts, just hold it in!"

Once you get to know Jiang Yan, you'll know that even though he seems to be a very cold person, he's a young man who is completely in love with someone for the first time, and he's also keenly aware that the other person doesn't seem to be without feelings for him as well. To put it simply, it's like a two-way relationship. How could he resist?

He looked at Qin Song and said casually, "You are not young anymore, why haven't you found a partner yet?"

Qin Song snorted, secretly complaining in his heart, why didn't he find a partner? He had said it to his face so many times. What's the point of asking now?

"So, you have a partner?"

Looking at Qin Song's feigned indifference, Jiang Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "Not yet, but it will be soon!"

Qin Song couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "You just haven't caught up with her yet? Then why are you showing off? Maybe when you come back next time, someone else will have gotten there first."

Qin Song originally wanted to make a joke, and was a little annoyed with Jiang Yan's arrogance!

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan's smile froze when he heard this. He suddenly remembered that Shen Xiaoxia was going home.

He was worried that she would never come back after she went back. If her family wanted to find her a partner in the city, he didn't know whether Shen Xiaoxia would be willing to come back and suffer!

Qin Song was a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yan's expression. "No, I was joking. You're not serious, are you? Do you have a competitor?"

Although the two of them love to bicker on weekdays, he still sincerely hopes that Jiang Yan can be happy!

Jiang Yan pondered secretly. At least he hadn't found any obvious competitors. Jiang Yan shook his head, a trace of worry on his face. "That's not the case, it's just...!"

Qin Song was even more anxious than him, "What is it? Tell me quickly!"

Jiang Yan told her about Shen Xiaoxia's situation, her plans to go home for the New Year, and his worries.

After hearing this, Qin Song was silent for a moment, "No, aren't you being a little too worried?"

Then he patted Jiang Yan's shoulder and said, "Besides, you should have confidence in yourself, right?"

Jiang Yan was about to say something when someone called out to them, "Jiang Yan, Qin Song? The leader wants you to go to his office!"

Qin Song glanced over there and responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll be there right away!"

He glanced at Jiang Yan and said, "Let's go?"

Jiang Yan nodded, and the two went to the leader's office together!

……

After Shen Xiaoxia finished her breakfast leisurely, she tidied up a bit and went to the captain's house again.

When she arrived at the captain's house, she saw Aunt Guihua busy in the yard.

Shen Xiaoxia cleared her throat and greeted politely, "Auntie, are you busy?"

Aunt Guihua straightened up when she heard the voice, raised her head, and casually wiped her face with her sleeve. She looked towards the person at the door. When she saw that it was Shen Xiaoxia, a warm smile immediately broke out on her face. "Little Shen, the educated youth?"

Knowing she was probably here to ask the captain about her last leave request, he warmly greeted her, "Are you here to see your captain? Come on, come in first...!"

As she spoke, she put down what she was holding, walked quickly to the side, pointed to the old but clean stool in the yard, and smiled as she asked Shen Xiaoxia to sit for a while. "Your captain uncle just went out for a walk. I asked my family to call him. He will be back soon. Please sit down and wait for a while!"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Aunt Guihua, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, and said softly, "Aunt, don't bother, I'll just stand there and wait for a while."

After a pause, afraid of disturbing Aunt Guihua's work, he pursed his lips and continued, "Or maybe I should go back first and come back later?"

Aunt Guihua quickly smiled and waved her hands, saying cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay, just wait a moment...!"

After saying that, she turned around and shouted towards the room, "Hu Zi? Hu Zi..."

A little boy of about eight or nine years old rushed out, opened his big black eyes, and asked curiously, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

Aunt Guihua looked at her grandson and said, "Go find your grandfather and tell him someone is waiting for you at home and ask him to come back!"

Hu Zi nodded obediently and responded crisply, "Okay!"

Then he turned around and ran out with brisk steps. Seeing how familiar he was with the place, it was obvious that he had done this kind of job of calling people many times!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at this scene and smiled at Aunt Guihua, her eyes full of gratitude, "Aunt, I'm sorry for the trouble!"

Aunt Guihua laughed heartily again and waved her hand. "Well, what's the trouble? It's the off-season now, and your captain uncle is bored at home and often goes out for a stroll. If you don't call him, you don't know when you'll run into him again!"

Aunt Guihua knew that if she continued to busy herself with the work at hand, Shen Xiaoxia would feel awkward staying alone, so she also sat down and chatted with Shen Xiaoxia.

There was a brief silence between the two of them, and it was Aunt Guihua who broke the silence and spoke first, "Xiao Shen, the educated youth, where are you from?"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled gently and said, "Auntie, I'm from Yi Province!"

The farthest place Aunt Guihua has ever been to in her life is the county town. In her cognition, the world outside the county town is vast but unfamiliar.

She listened to Shen Xiaoxia's answer. Actually, she didn't know where Yi Province was, so she asked, "It must be quite far, right? How long does it take you to make the trip?"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled softly, "About two or three days!"

Aunt Guihua nodded thoughtfully and asked, "That's quite far, do we take the train?"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Yes, take a bus from the county to the city, and then take the train."

As for her home, it's not far from home after getting off the train. The Shen family lives in the provincial capital of Yi Province.
