Chapter 45: Chapter 43 What else could he ask for_1
By the time he arrived at Lin Jiaxue’s house.
It was already half past two, and Tang Qing naturally couldn’t enter her home empty-handed. He had purchased many fruits of different varieties at the entrance of the neighborhood. Knowing that Lin Jiaxue liked apples, he bought a whole box directly.
If it were not for the inability to carry more.
He would have bought a few more boxes.
But then he thought better of it.
With just these alone, Lin Jiaxue would comment on his extravagance for a while, so he thought he could buy more next time he visited.
He spent just over two hundred yuan on so many things, which felt really cheap. In the past, he never had more than two hundred yuan to freely use, so Tang Qing could only sigh, being rich was great.
He had the box of apples in his left hand.
In his right hand, he held five or six bags filled with other fruits.
He pressed Lin Jiaxue’s doorbell.
A few seconds later.
He heard the sound of footsteps from inside, and noticed the peephole on the door darkened, implying Lin Jiaxue was checking to see who was at the door. In an impish mood, Tang Qing made a goofy face, sticking out his tongue.
A soft chuckle was heard.
Lin Jiaxue’s laughter wafted from inside.
"Squeak..."
The door opened.
Gazing at the woman he loved standing before him, his eyes filled with affection.
Lin Jiaxue was dressed simply today, just like the last time, in a white short sleeve top, shorts, and slippers. She looked like a typical girl next door. Her glossy black hair was no longer tied up but hung loose behind her.
Looking at Lin Jiaxue’s hair.
Tang Qing remembered a line of poetry:
’Once my hair grows to my waist, will you take me as your wife? Are you willing to lay a ten-mile-long path of wedding décor for me when your dark hair is neatly combed?’
Tang Qing wanted to say.
I do.
He is willing, not just for a ten-mile-long path, but even for a hundred miles.
Although she wore no makeup.
Her natural beauty was not to be concealed. Tang Qing had only one feeling: She was truly beautiful.
"Why did you buy so much and waste money?" Lin Jiaxue warmly chided him, her eyes full of mirth.
Although, she spoke so, her heart was filled with sweetness. Seeing Tang Qing with all those bags and a box of apples, the emotional side of a woman made Lin Jiaxue feel loved and cherished.
"Not at all. It’s not wasteful, we will eat them. How could it be wasteful?" Tang Qing replied with a smile.
Seeing Lin Jiaxue put him at ease. His transaction with Liu Qian had left him with a lingering fear of getting implicated, worried that one day the police would show up, get him convicted and bring disgrace to his family.
But now, seeing Lin Jiaxue, he wasn’t afraid of anything.
He was filled with self-assurance and confidence.
A strong conviction that he could overcome all difficulties. He felt as if Lin Jiaxue was his source of energy. Whenever he was tired, just seeing her, he would regain his energy, and all of his negative emotions would fade away.
Lin Jiaxue took the box filled with apples and walked back into the house.
She, whose heart already belonged to Tang Qing, noticed that he was quieter than before.
However, her feminine intuition told her that Tang Qing’s feelings for her had deepened. Therefore, she didn’t overthink it, attributing Tang Qing’s behavior to academic stress.
"How did you fare in the monthly exam?"
"Very well. This time, my score will definitely astonish you." Tang Qing followed Lin Jiaxue into the house, and thought to himself: In this life, I certainly can’t hold you back.
Lin Jiaxue’s dream was not to attend Tsinghua University or Peking University.
But Fudan University in Magic City. She originally applied to a local university just to take care of Tang Qing. He only discovered this after she had an accident and he found it in her diary.
This realization had filled Tang Qing with guilt.
In this life, he made a vow to get into Fudan University and help her achieve her dream.
Whenever he thought of this, his love for Lin Jiaxue grew even stronger.
To have such a wife,
what more could a husband ask for.
"Is that so, that’s great. Here." Lin Jiaxue handed Tang Qing a glass of water.
"How about you, how did you do in the monthly exam?" Tang Qing took the water and took a sip.
"The same as always."
Lin Jiaxue switched on the TV and sat down on the sofa.
"Have you finished your homework?" Tang Qing also plopped down next to Lin Jiaxue.
Of course, he understood what Lin Jiaxue meant by "the same as always."
The prodigy, as usual.
"We don’t have any homework this week. The teacher asked us to rest well and prepare to work harder soon." Lin Jiaxue flipped through the channels and finally settled on a music channel.
At this moment, Teresa Teng’s "Sweet Honey" was playing.
After listening for a while.
Tang Qing grabbed Lin Jiaxue’s hand and placed it on his leg. He caressed her hand constantly, feeling its soft smoothness. There was no lust in Tang Qing’s heart.
He simply felt at peace.
She was his sanctuary.
Lin Jiaxue didn’t mind it either.
Holding hands was common for them. Sometimes, Tang Qing even stole a kiss.
After the age of 11, Tang Qing became much more behaved and often stared blankly at her. Even though she, subtle as a hair, noticed many differences, she didn’t ask around. As long as Tang Qing kept loving her that was enough.
"Shall we go shopping and buy some clothes for you?" Tang Qing, who had been toying with Lin Jiaxue’s hand for a while, proposed.
He was now earning his own money.
He very much wanted to fulfill a dream from his previous life. In his former life, he never bought Lin Jiaxue any expensive items because he had no money. By the time he could earn money, he had no chance anymore.
He felt a deep desire to make up for it.
"I have clothes. Why buy more? What a waste." Lin Jiaxue gently played with her hair and said. Indeed, she was not interested in what to wear. As long as Tang Qing had this intention, she was satisfied.
"It’s not a waste. No matter how much money I spend on you, it’s not a waste." Tang Qing gently replied.
"You must not have much money left and you have most likely spent most of it. Save the rest. I have some money, I’ll give it to you later. Use it sparingly." Lin Jiaxue laughed.
"I..." Tang Qing was at a loss for words.
Such a gentle and virtuous woman.
He loved her to the bone.
Tang Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to cry out of emotions.
At this moment he felt like a woman, being so easily moved. However, thinking about Lin Jiaxue by his side, her gentleness, he didn’t care about being a man or a woman anymore. The only reason you’re not crying is that you’ve never been so touched.
"Let’s go, let’s go shopping. I helped a big shot recently and he gave me a lot of money, you see, I bought this mobile phone."
"So pretty, how much did it cost?"
Lin Jiaxue appeared surprised as she accepted Tang Qing’s phone and played with it.
"Uh, over six thousand." Tang Qing honestly replied.
He really didn’t want to deceive the woman in front of him.
Apart from the thing with the system, he wouldn’t tell anyone about the system. Being normal was the best. It was fine to be cool, to show off, even to become the richest man in the world.
But never become a weirdo, otherwise, there would be no good ending.
"Over six thousand? So expensive. Next time when you have money, save it. When the festivals come, you can buy some nice things for your uncle and aunt. It’s a pity to spend it like this." Lin Jiaxue exclaimed.
Upon hearing these words, Tang Qing couldn’t help himself and embraced Lin Jiaxue.
He was deeply moved.
This woman, who always thinks for him, must have done a lot of good deeds in her previous life to have this life’s fate.
Lin Jiaxue did not struggle either.
She also obediently hugged Tang Qing back.
He remembered that Lin Jiaxue had allowed hugs and kisses, but she did not allow his hand to misbehave. With a traditional mindset, Lin Jiaxue made it very clear, only when they start university he could touch her.
Therefore, Tang Qing didn’t dare to go too far.
But there was no problem with kisses, they had often played this game since they were children.
He had yet to kiss his lover since his rebirth.
Thinking about it, Tang Qing let go of Lin Jiaxue and very dominate kissed her unexpectedly. Initially, Lin Jiaxue froze, instinctively resisting, but she quickly stopped.
At this moment, silence was the loudest.
"Snow, let’s go shopping. I have money. That person lent me some more money, I have an investment in a restaurant, it’s Li Kai’s father’s. From now on, I might even get quite a bit of money every month. Don’t save money for me."
After about ten minutes of petting, Tang Qing softly said. The love in his arms has the right to know some things about him. Let them gradually accept it, otherwise, it would be tricky to explain when the business grows bigger later on.
"How much do you get monthly?" Lin Jiaxue inquired as she heard.
"I’m not sure yet, probably about fifty or sixty thousand." Tang Qing said laughing.
"That much, that’s more than what my parents make in a year." Lin Jiaxue covered her mouth. She didn’t expect her lover to covertly have a monthly income surpassing her family’s annual income.
"Of course, I’m just a minor shareholder, the total investment is nearly one million, earning a few tens of thousands a month is not much." Tang Qing explained.
"It’s still not to be wasted." Lin Jiaxue educated.
"Snow, remember, what’s mine is yours, no matter how much I spend on you, it’s never a waste." Tang Qing lovingly looked at Lin Jiaxue and said.
"Hmm." Lin Jiaxue responded in a low voice.
"Then let’s go shopping now."
"Alright, I will go change my clothes first." This time, Lin Jiaxue didn’t refuse. She, of course, was delighted that her lover would buy clothes for her. But she already made up her mind to buy something cheap later on.
Lin Jiaxue returned to the room to change her clothes, and Tang Qing waited in the living room.
"What are you thinking about?"
Just as Tang Qing was planning a bright future in his mind, Lin Jiaxue’s voice interrupted his thoughts. Glancing up, he realized that a fair hand was waving in front of him.
Tang Qing looked up.
Lin Jiaxue had put on a clean, white, one-piece long dress. Tang Qing instantly felt like he was seeing a fairy. Her hair was tied into a bun and laid to one side. Without any decoration, he wasn’t sure how to describe her temperament anymore.
"Very beautiful, when did you buy this dress?" Tang Qing’s eyes lit up.
"Last week. I casually saw it in a market and thought it was not bad, so I bought it." Lin Jiaxue quietly said. She didn’t feel embarrassed under Tang Qing’s gaze either.
"Then let’s go." Tang Qing stood up to say.
The two held hands and came to the pedestrian street. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Lin Jiaxue was trying on various clothes. In his previous life, he had no money, and Lin Jiaxue could only afford stall goods. In this life, he should make up for it well. Initially, no matter what she tried on, Lin Jiaxue said she didn’t like it.
Tang Qing gradually saw the trick.
Lin Jiaxue thought it was too expensive and wanted to save him some money. Regardless of Lin Jiaxue’s thoughts, as long as Tang Qing thought it looked good, he’d buy it. In the end, after spending nearly five thousand, Lin Jiaxue refused to continue shopping.
Later, Tang Qing even proposed to buy her a mobile phone.
But she said the phone would distract her from her studies.
So Tang Qing had to give up.
After shopping.
The two strolled along the Qing River, chit-chatting with each other. After all, what was the need for so many words?. Having each other’s love was enough.
