After hearing Fu Qingqing's question with some reluctance, Lin Jianxue's eyes curved and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She shook her head.

"I've changed my mind and don't plan to live on campus."

"Let's go back to the Fu family and sleep."

Fu Qingqing blinked her big eyes, looking confused and puzzled.

"Why, Sister Xiaoxue?"

The little girl counted on her fingers: "Doesn't the school arrange dormitories for teachers? Living in school is so convenient."

"Besides, the town is so far from our home...it must be tiring for you to go back and forth every day."

Lin Jianxue's smile remained unchanged, and her tone remained calm, as if she was talking about a very ordinary little thing.

"Then get up early."

She had made up her mind to stay in the Fu family and stay with this man.

What's this short distance?

In her previous life, she had paid enough for that ruthless Jiang Yubai. Now, for the person she truly cherished, getting up a little earlier was nothing.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was slightly stagnant for a moment because of these conversations.

Dong Yulan put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Lin Jianxue gently, and then turned to her son.

"Zhe Wei."

Fu Zhawei was eating with his head down. He raised his eyes when he heard the voice and looked at his mother, with a hint of inquiry in his deep eyes.

"mom?"

Dong Yulan smiled slightly, her eyes moving between Lin Jianxue and Fu Zhewei, and then she slowly said, "Since Xiaoxue doesn't want to live on campus, it's also true that it may not be convenient for a girl to live alone in a school dormitory."

"Zhenhai High School is quite far from our home, and I'm worried that it would be unsafe for her to be on the road alone."

She paused and suggested naturally, "Then from now on, you will be responsible for picking up Xiaoxue from school. How about that?"

"You go to work at the brigade every day, so your schedule should be staggered. You can escort Xiaoxue for a while."

Dong Yulan's mind was as clear as a mirror. As a mother, how could she not see her son's little thoughts?

But this kid is too dumb and dull, and it would take a long time to expect him to come to his senses.

As a mother, she can only help so far.

Fu Zhewei's deep eyes flickered slightly. He was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"OK."

One word, concise and clear.

He looked at Lin Jianxue, and his expressionless face seemed to soften a little.

"She's on my way to work."

"Then I'll pick you up."

Lin Jianxue didn't expect Dong Yulan to be so "considerate", simply a god's assist!

She was delighted in her heart, but on the surface she pretended to be modest, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Will this... be too much trouble for you?"

There was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows as she looked at Fu Zhewei.

Fu Zhawei met her gaze and felt that those clear eyes were even brighter than the stars in the sky.

He shook his head.

"You're welcome."

But Lin Jianxue inexplicably felt that these three words made her heart beat faster than any sweet words of love.

Early the next morning, Liang Bin, the team leader of the Shuguang Production Brigade, personally delivered a course schedule to the Fu family.

Liang Bin had a smile on his dark face and was much more polite to Lin Jianxue.

After all, this is the first high school teacher from their team to go out, and it would be a great honor to tell others about it.

"Teacher Lin, this is the class schedule the school has arranged for you. Take a look."

"The principal said that since you've just arrived, you should get familiar with the environment first. If you need anything, feel free to let the school know."

Lin Jianxue took the course schedule printed on rough paper and looked at it carefully.

There are a total of sixteen classes in Zhenhai High School.

And her name appears densely in music classes of all grades.

Counting the weeks, she has to attend at least six classes a day, and Jane's schedule is packed.

This is treating her as a strong laborer!

Lin Jianxue complained silently in her heart.

However, being a teacher is definitely easier than working in the fields under the scorching sun.

Monday is almost here.

As soon as the sky turned pale, the Fu family members got up one after another.

Lin Jianxue also woke up.

She put on her clothes, opened the door, and saw Fu Zhawei just coming out of his room.

The man was wearing an old shirt that had been washed to a pale color, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms, revealing his strong and powerful tones.

In the dim light of morning, his figure appeared particularly tall and straight.

The two men looked at each other, and Fu Zhawei was the first to look away, his voice hoarse with the unique hoarseness of the early morning.

"Are you up?"

"Um."

Lin Jianxue responded and followed him to the well in the corner of the yard.

Fu Zhawei skillfully drew a bucket of ice-cold well water and poured it into the old wooden basin next to him.

The two of them simply brushed their teeth and washed their faces with the basin of cold water.

The clear well water wipes away the last trace of sleepiness and makes people wake up instantly.

Dong Yulan has already made breakfast.

It was still a simple meal of corn porridge, a few black-faced steamed buns, and a small dish of pickles.

Although it was simple, the family sat together and had a warm meal.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Jianxue went back to the house to get a few half-worn music textbooks that she had prepared last night, and walked out of the Fu family courtyard shoulder to shoulder with Fu Zhawei.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

It was already early summer, the weather in June. There was a slight chill in the air in the early morning, but it was no longer as cold as in spring.

The morning breeze blew across my cheeks, carrying the fragrance of grass and earth.

The two walked side by side on a country road, with wildflowers in full bloom on the roadside.

Lin Jianxue turned her head and quietly looked at Fu Zhewei beside her.

The morning light outlined his profound profile, with a high nose bridge and a clear and strong jawline.

That face, resolute and handsome, is something I never get tired of looking at.

She could feel her heart beating uncontrollably.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and spoke in a low voice, breaking the silence between them.

"Fu Zhewei."

"Hmm?" He turned his head to look at her, his eyes deep.

"If one day..." Lin Jianxue paused, organizing her words, "If one day your family can return to Kyoto, what would you like to do?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhawei paused slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep eyes.

He lowered his head and met Lin Jianxue's clear eyes that were black and white.

His Adam's apple rolled slightly unconsciously.

Return to Kyoto...

That was what their whole family had been thinking about and looking forward to day and night.

But when that day really comes, what does he want to do?

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Lin Jianxue held her breath and waited quietly for his answer.

Just when she thought he wouldn't speak, Fu Zhawei's low and slightly hoarse voice slowly rang out.

He said:

"I want to confess my feelings to the girl I have a crush on."
