Chapter 1302: Confession

Jing Chu was at a loss for words. Although Chaoyang was like this, she didn’t have any negative feelings in her heart. Looking at him hopefully watching her, the words of refusal didn’t come out of her mouth.

Chaoyang was meticulously observing Jing Chu’s expression, and from her demeanor, he knew his plan was working. She really was giving him a chance.

It made his heart soar. Excitement overwhelmed him.

"Jing Chu, rest assured, I won’t be a burden to you at all, I’ll just quietly stay by your side."

Jing Chu sighed, really feeling that she was being unfair to Chaoyang.

Li Xue had already prepared dinner, and Lv Beiguang heard the commotion and hurriedly carried the dining table into the house.

"Jing Chu, tidy up the kang so Chaoyang can eat on it."

"Uncle Lv, let me do it."

"No need, quickly go wash up for dinner."

Li Xue had cooked two eggs for her second brother, filling a large bowl of noodle soup full. It had a pound of noodles in it.

Chaoyang saw the bowl of noodles, "I can’t eat this much, why don’t you all have some more?"

Li Xue touched her belly and immediately went to the kitchen to fetch the bowls and chopsticks for the four of them.

Lv Beiguang laughed, "Not me, I can’t eat anymore, you guys go ahead."

Jing Chu also shook her head. Living with Jiang Xinyu, she had developed the habit of eating only seventy percent full in the evening and wouldn’t eat any snacks afterwards. So she also shook her head, "I’m not eating either."

Guodong also shook his head, "You guys eat, I won’t either." Eating too much in the evening feels uncomfortable; tonight he’s already had an extra bowl of porridge and won’t eat anymore.

Li Xue really felt hungry again, so she cheerfully got on the kang, "Second brother, I’ll just have a bowl, hurry up or the noodles will get mushy."

After washing up, Chaoyang also got on the kang, he placed an egg into Li Xue’s bowl.

"Second brother, one egg is enough, I already ate one for breakfast."

"Jing Chu. Do you want to eat an egg?"

Jing Chu, sitting on the side tidying up Chaoyang’s things on the kang, shook her head, "I don’t want it. You eat."

Guodong smiled as he watched his wife eat happily. He liked it when she ate more; she was still young, although already 160 cm tall, she had too little meat on her. If he can help his wife gain some weight, that would be an accomplishment for him.

After dinner, it was already past nine o’clock. Although young and healthy, after sitting for two days and nights, Chaoyang was still quite uncomfortable.

"Alright, everyone rest, any matters can wait until tomorrow."

Chaoyang didn’t take his luggage with him. He left it in Jing Chu’s room and followed Lv Beiguang to the side room to sleep.

Jing Chu lay in bed, thinking about Chaoyang’s words earlier, her heart felt a bit chaotic, afraid she would let Chaoyang down.

She’s already an adult, and for her other half, it’s not that she hasn’t thought about it, but her heart doesn’t have any specific preference for the kind of person she wants to find.

The men around her, though they seem quite happy, she can still find their flaws.

Wei Kaiyun, although appearing utterly compliant with Aunt Jiang and very loving towards Feifei, is too indifferent.

Uncle Yang is not as responsible for the family as Wei Kaiyun; it always feels like only a few parts of his mind are on the family.

Dad, for instance, lives a solitary life.

So she still doesn’t know what she’s looking for exactly.

She knows no one is perfect, but what to do if there isn’t a liking impulse?

Jing Chu lay tangled in bed, while Chaoyang assured Lv Beiguang.

"Uncle Lv, I really like Jing Chu, even though she doesn’t like me. But I’ll work hard to make her like me."

"Guodong, I have no objections, I won’t interfere with the future of Guodong and Jing Chu as long as the siblings don’t go astray."

"You liking Jing Chu, I do not oppose, but it must be her own approval."

"Uncle Lv, I understand, I like Jing Chu but absolutely won’t give her pressure. I want her to be happy and fulfilled for a lifetime."

"Hmm, I trust you."

Chaoyang felt at ease with Lv Beiguang’s words.

As long as Jing Chu doesn’t have someone she likes, he has an opportunity.

Guodong here tightly held Li Xue, in this youthful time, he really yearns for this.

Afterwards, he had her lie on top of him, with the two of them pressing close without a single thread, Guodong liked it this way.

"Guodong, second brother likes Jing Chu."

"Hmm, I knew for a while, just that Chaoyang hasn’t done anything inappropriate, and Jing Chu is willing to chat with him, so I haven’t intervened."

Li Xue gave Guodong a peck, "Do you agree? If they really get together, do you agree?"

Guodong, due to his wife’s small actions, reacted again. Their positions shifted, and he kissed his wife.

He didn’t answer her question at all, thinking wasn’t it his sister’s issue? As long as she wants it, what could anyone else say?

The next day, Chaoyang woke up after eight o’clock, no one disturbed him, and the kang here was still comfortably warm.

He stretched lazily in bed before getting up.

It’s already December 14th, today is the big market day here, the father and son duo went to the market to see if there’s anything for the New Year.

Li Xue saw second brother get up, quickly went to heat up the food.

"Jing Chu, morning."

During the day, when Jing Chu saw Chaoyang, there was a smile in his eyes.

"Morning."

Seeing Jing Chu smiling, Chaoyang felt particularly happy.

Here, Chaoyang settled down, every day following behind Jing Chu, Jing Chu adjusted to it over a few days, showing no signs of dislike.

Jiang Xinyu’s family arrived at the hot springs. This used to be a palace belonging to the former dynasty, but at this point, it’s noticeably run-down.

Han Xiangjun found people and let them inside.

"We just settled directly living here."

Jiang Xinyu gave it a glance, although outside looked very desolate, inside was okay, and since the government took charge, no civilians came over, naturally nothing valuable was left.

"Is it alright?"

Han Xiangjun nodded, "I’ve already arranged, we can stay here for a month."

With many hands, three rooms were quickly organized, there are even kang beds, and seems like someone stayed here recently, the stove still burns well.

Han Xiangjun ventured out once, brought back coal, thanks to the hot springs, it’s not particularly cold here.

Cooking utensils had been arranged, so staying for a few more days was possible.

The children found the place very novel, hence helped with cleaning, then wandered around.

Inside were just three little ones, Ah Bao despite being frequently wrestled by Shi Xian, was willing to stay by his brother’s side. Tingting played by herself on one side, even when her toys were taken, she didn’t get upset.
