Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

"Why didn't you come to see me if you missed me?" When Lin Wangshu saw him, her lips turned down slightly, her eyes moist and filled with a sense of grievance.

Because Jiang Weidong always said he was busy, Lin Wangshu hadn't seen him for a long time. Although she knew she should be understanding, the bittersweet feeling of longing welled up as soon as they met.

"It's my fault, I was too hasty." Jiang Weidong saw the tears in her eyes and panicked, so he immediately admitted his mistake.

Lin Wangshu found his words nonsensical and immediately pressed him for an answer: "Why are you in such a hurry? What have you been hiding from me?"

Jiang Weidong realized he had let something slip, but the train station wasn't the place to discuss serious matters. He brushed Lin Wangshu's sweaty hair aside and said, "Let's go out first, I'll tell you everything in a bit."

After saying that, he handed her the orange soda he had been holding. Lin Wangshu took it and found that the bottle was still a little cold.

Lin Wangshu had a straw in her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Weidong, eager to know what he was busy with.

Seeing Lin Wangshu's puffed-out mouth and blinking big eyes, Jiang Weidong couldn't help but look away, a smile playing on his lips.

So cute, I want to kiss them.

The scene outside the station is much more lively than in previous years. Because of the reform and opening up, some shrewd small vendors have started to set up stalls and do business.

Just like now, Lin Wangshu can hear the endless shouts of vendors; the market is recovering, and everywhere is a scene of prosperity.

Jiang Weidong thought for a moment about what to say before finally speaking, "Wang Shu, I plan to graduate early."

Lin Wangshu's eyes widened. "Why?"

“If I had graduated earlier, I could have been assigned a job sooner, instead of being like this now, like a rootless duckweed, unable to give you anything.”

Jiang Weidong was still provoked by Jiang Defu's words. After returning to school for the Spring Festival, he applied to the school leaders to take the courses ahead of schedule and graduate earlier.

So for the past six months, he has been so busy that he has barely left the school grounds.

“More importantly, I want to have a home that belongs to both of us as soon as possible.” Jiang Weidong looked at Lin Wangshu with burning eyes.

Lin Wangshu then understood. Looking at the dark circles under Jiang Weidong's eyes, she felt sorry for him and said with a hint of reproach, "Why do you have to work so hard? I'm not going to run away."

But then she asked him worriedly, "Are you tired? Can your body handle it? You look like you've lost weight."

Seeing that her eyebrows were almost furrowed, Jiang Weidong felt a pang of tenderness in his heart. He reached out and squeezed her palm, then quickly let go.

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy." To convince her, Jiang Weidong patted his chest forcefully.

Lin Wangshu quickly stopped him, "Alright, I believe you, okay?"

She was secretly thinking that Jiang Weidong was working so hard that she couldn't stop him, so she had to think of a way to help him recover.

On the way back to school, Lin Wangshu remained silent the entire way because she was preoccupied with her thoughts.

Jiang Weidong, however, thought she was still angry and scratched his head anxiously, trying to find a way to coax her into talking, "Wangshu, how is your older brother's girlfriend? Are Mom and Dad satisfied?"

Lin Wangshu shook her head and said succinctly, "They broke up."

Jiang Weidong slapped his forehead in frustration; it seemed their relationship wasn't going well.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Wei Min and Ya Ning have both been admitted to university, right?"

He was oblivious to everything happening around him and knew almost nothing about what was going on at home.

Lin Wangshu sighed, "Ya Ning passed the exam, but Wei Min failed. He called me crying."

Jiang Weimin shed a few tears when he complained to Lin Wangshu because he was worried that Mingxu would leave him because of this.

Yafei, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but yell at him on the phone. Jiang Weimin retorted defiantly, and the two went back and forth. In the end, he actually regained his fighting spirit, leaving Lin Wangshu both amused and exasperated.

After Jiang Weimin's persistent nagging, Mingxu gave him another chance. Therefore, Jiang Weimin did not go home this time, but buried himself in his studies in the dormitory.

Jiang Weidong couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. When would his younger brother ever be able to stand up for himself?

Wanting to spend more time with Lin Wangshu, Jiang Weidong deliberately slowed down, taking two steps at a time. However, after dropping her off at her dormitory building, they had to part ways.

Lin Wangshu took the luggage and felt a little down when she saw Jiang Weidong's reluctant expression.

"Alright, we'll be spending decades together, so you'll have plenty of time to look until you get tired of it."

Seeing Jiang Weidong staring at her without blinking, as if he wanted to imprint her face in his heart, Lin Wangshu couldn't help but smile and comfort him.

Jiang Weidong smiled, but then said firmly, as if making a promise, "No, I will never get annoyed."

"I'm going upstairs." Lin Wangshu blushed slightly, picked up her luggage, and walked up the stairs, turning back to look at herself every few steps.

In the dormitory, Shen Jiaojiao, who lived in Beijing, got tired of staying at home and went back to school early.

"Are you two performing a play downstairs? We, the audience, are thoroughly enjoying it."

Shen Jiaojiao sat in a chair, and as soon as Lin Wangshu entered, she smiled and teased him.

Lin Wangshu was immune to this kind of teasing. She knew that the more generous she acted at this time, the less interesting it would be for others. If she was shy, they would only cheer her on even more.

"We're quite a handsome couple, aren't we, Comrade Shen Jiaojiao? How much are you planning to spend?"

Lin Wangshu tossed her hair and solemnly reached out to Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao snorted and slapped her hand. "You're so shameless. How can you praise yourself like that? I won't spend a single penny."

Lin Wangshu chuckled and withdrew her hand, sniffing at her, "So stingy."

"Me, stingy? I even remembered you when my mom was getting my medicine. Now, I guess I'll just drink it all by myself."

Shen Jiaojiao pointed to the several paper packages on the table, sighed, and pretended to be disappointed.

"Take medicine? Are you sick?" Lin Wangshu smelled the Chinese medicine, walked over, grabbed her arm, and looked her over with concern.

"Oh, no." Seeing her reaction, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh and pressed her down to sit.

He picked up the paper package on the table and handed it to her, saying, "This is tonic, it's good for women. My mom found an old Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe it, and it's very effective."

Upon hearing that it was for health, Lin Wangshu's eyes lit up. She put the medicine packet aside, grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's hand, and asked, "The old Chinese medicine doctor? Where is he?"

Shen Jiaojiao was startled by her eager gaze. "What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

Lin Wangshu thought for a moment, then told her somewhat awkwardly, "I want to get some medicine to help Weidong recover."

Shen Jiaojiao misunderstood. Looking at Lin Wangshu with pity in her eyes, she leaned closer and whispered, "Is he impotent?"
