Chen Xiaowu, when talking to her older sisters about dating or how to get along with her husband and in-laws after marriage, has a whole repertoire of knowledge.
I'm always worried that my older sisters will be deceived or hurt.
They worry about whether the eldest sister of the Chen family will be subjected to domestic violence, and whether the fourth sister of the Chen family will be sexually harassed by her boyfriend Ning Wenfeng.
Old Qin didn't really understand what pUA meant, but he had heard Chen Xiaowu teach his older sisters a lot about it.
In daily life, when interacting with others, he could roughly guess the meaning behind how to counter others' manipulation.
But some of what she said was too blunt, and some of it made his eyelids twitch.
For example:
Chen Xiaowu called his eldest sister and said very seriously,
"Big sister, Captain Zheng shouldn't have any violent tendencies, right? If your husband dares to lay a finger on you, just tell us."
I'll have my second sister beat him up. Anyway, Captain Zheng can't beat my second sister, she'll definitely beat him so badly his own mother won't recognize him...
In addition, she would occasionally ask Chen's fourth sister about her relationship with Ning Wenfeng.
"Fourth Sister, when you were dating Ning, did he ever say anything like, 'I like you so much, I love you so much, you have to listen to me in everything'?"
I love you so much, you can't talk to men, etc.
If so, Fourth Sister, just dump Ning and find someone new...
Furthermore, when Chen Xiaowu talks to his third sister on the phone, he says, "Third sister, food and sex are human nature."
It's fine if you like handsome guys, but next time, if you get fooled by a guy again, or get pregnant out of wedlock, I'll blacklist you.
A grown man like you, don't you know to use a condom? Don't just think about your own pleasure...
Listen to what Chen Xiaowu is saying.
Such vulgar and inappropriate words were spoken without any hesitation by a young girl like her.
It's no different from telling the Chen sisters, openly or subtly, that "men are not necessities, they can be had or dispensable, but only if you don't suffer any grievances."
If Old Man Qin hadn't guessed it, he would have realized that this girl actually liked good-looking men, and didn't dislike men at all.
Although she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, it's because she's quite clear-headed and rational, knows what she wants, and is very selective when it comes to dating.
Otherwise, he would suspect that she had been hurt by some gay man or that she had developed androgyny.
Suddenly remembering something, Old Man Qin's eyes changed. No matter how well Chen Xiaowu hid it, Old Man Qin had actually noticed something unusual.
She had concerns, but as for what they were, Old Man Qin hadn't fully figured them out in the past ten years.
Chen Xiaowu felt uneasy. He was quite certain that at certain moments, he always felt that she was ready to leave at any time.
But leaving—leaving where? Leaving the Chen family? And where to go? Abroad?
Now that China's economy is developing slowly, even if someone goes abroad or settles overseas, it's not like they're never coming back.
He remembered that when he first arrived in Gaoyang County from Shanghe Village, he overheard Chen Xiaoliu muttering something like this:
Fifth sister, you've gone to high school, will you come back? You've gone to university, will you come back?
Every time school is out for a holiday, Chen Xiaoliu is absent-minded and anxiously waits for her fifth sister to come home.
So, that kid had the same feeling, so it wasn't just his own illusion.
Aside from her family and herself, Chen Xiaowu didn't have many deep friendships or entanglements with other people, let alone romantic relationships.
She's running away, or perhaps avoiding future trouble!
Then he would deliberately bring it up: "Chen Xiaowu, there must be male students pursuing you at Peking University!"
What do you think of that seventh son of the Lu family? Since he came to see you last time, has he contacted you privately again?
"The seventh son of the Lu family? Who is that?" Chen Xiuhua asked in surprise, then looked at Chen Xihua with a gossipy expression.
“Uh…” Chen Xihua stammered.
She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and quickly slipped into the kitchen to start washing them. Old Man Qin and Fourth Sister were probably looking forward to seeing her make a scene!
Why does it seem like Old Man Qin has been particularly interested in gossiping about her lately?
After Lu Zhengjing came to the courtyard house that time.
It seems that Old Man Qin and Lu Zhengjing had only met once, but Old Man Qin could tell that Lu Zhengjing had feelings for him?
Was Lu Zhengjing's behavior too obvious at the time, or did Old Man Qin have other motives?
Unfortunately, she was still at the garment factory at the time and was not present.
However, thinking about it now, it's not hard to guess that since Lu Zhengjing confessed his feelings to him directly back then, he probably didn't intend to hide it.
Chen Xihua was unaware that, because of Zhou Qingqing, deep down she had considered whether she could go back to her previous life.
This subtly made her behave differently, sometimes giving those around her the feeling that she might 'leave' at any moment.
She assumed that Old Man Qin was just teasing her when he brought up Lu Zhengjing.
Or perhaps he genuinely cares about her life and wants to know if she's dating anyone.
Thinking this, Chen Xihua paused in her washing of dishes and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.
She was so concerned about the relationships and family matters of her older sisters in the Chen family, afraid that they would be deceived by men.
They were also guided and taught to protect themselves, without any reason, but she herself avoided the topic.
In fact, Chen Xihua does not reject dating, marriage, and starting a family; it is simply human nature.
Dating and marriage are like relationships with family, friends, bosses, colleagues, and strangers—they are all interpersonal relationships that require nurturing.
As long as you have a strong mind and are confident and cheerful, things between men and women are just that—either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
She herself is even less afraid of being hurt, so she is not heartless or loveless, or deliberately avoids love.
When she learned that Lu Zhengjing liked her and had confessed his feelings to her, she rejected him, but she was only considering whether the two of them were suitable for each other and whether it was possible for them to be together.
It wasn't entirely because of her older sister's affair with Shen Changxing that she completely rejected the Lu family; after all, she was quite fond of Lu Zhengjing's looks.
She hadn't known he liked her before, so she deliberately ignored his appearance, reminding herself not to be infatuated. After all, he was a member of the Lu family, so it was a bit of a pity.
But knowing that he actually liked her, Chen Xihua did feel a little strange and her emotions fluctuated.
It should be said that no woman can remain unmoved when a handsome man confesses his love to her; if she does, she's just pretending.
Whether or not one feels a flutter of the heart or shyness is a subconscious emotional reaction, and it is a different matter from a rational choice made after careful consideration of whether two people are suitable to be together.
Sigh, men really can be a bit unsettling, and lust can cloud judgment.
Shaking her head again, Chen Xihua stopped thinking about it and continued washing the dishes, while also cleaning the stove.
When Chen Xihua came out of the kitchen, she saw her fourth sister carrying a woven bag and holding car keys, slowly walking out.
As Chen Xiuhua walked, she smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, I'm going on a date, don't miss me too much."
Haha, Fourth Sister has changed. She's no longer the shy and quiet Fourth Sister she used to be.
It's just dating, nothing special.
Actually, it was after Chen Xihua turned eighteen last year, after she was a junior in college.
At Kyoto University, some of her male classmates subtly expressed their desire to pursue her, but she rejected them all.
In her previous life, Chen Xihua, who was almost thirty, was indeed quite picky. In her opinion, the male students at Peking University were all too young and immature, lacking maturity and charm.
Since her freshman year at Kyoto University, many male students have shown interest in her, but when they learned that she was only sixteen years old and could tell that she had no such intentions, they gave up for the time being.
In fact, two years ago, when Chen Xihua received her ID card, she was certain that this was a real world.
She had already let herself go and didn't feel any psychological pressure.
Aside from her unchanging goal of starting a company and making money, she wouldn't object to dating if she met the right person.
Some might think that she's too heartless, accepting the people and things of this world so easily and forgetting her childhood sweetheart from her previous life, but that's not the case.
She and her childhood sweetheart from her previous life, Fu Shuyang, that arrogant brat, had always bickered since they were little.
They sometimes even fight, their relationship is truly extraordinary, and Fu Shuyang would never let Chen Xihua suffer any injustice.
Strictly speaking, however, it wasn't love; it would be more accurate to describe it as familial affection.
The Chen and Fu families are old friends and have a good relationship. They know each other well and it can be considered a business marriage, a good match.
Furthermore, after graduating from university, Chen Xihua and Fu Shuyang did not meet a partner who was more suitable for them than the other.
Therefore, the two naturally fulfilled their marriage agreement. Before she transmigrated, they had already successfully gotten engaged and were just waiting to get married.
