Chapter 243, Section 242: All I ask for in this life is to grow old with him.
As Jiang Xia sang a cappella, people gradually noticed that his affectionate gaze was fixed on the girl opposite him the whole time.
So this wasn't a talent show at all; the real purpose was probably to use this opportunity to confess his feelings to the girl he loved.
Damn it, he got away with it.
The crucial point is that none of the people present had ever heard of this song.
Could it be... that he wrote it himself?
Many girls turned to look at Lin Yanwan. Many people had seen that she and Jiang Xia were close, but the fact that her boyfriend would confess his love by singing in this kind of setting was somewhat enviable.
And she sings so well.
"Yanwan, isn't this song actually sung by the handsome Jiang for you?" Cui Jiaying whispered beside him. Seeing her teary eyes, he wisely shut his mouth.
Lin Yanwan bit her lip gently and remained silent, her gaze fixed entirely on Jiang Xia. The meaning of this song was probably only understood by the two reborn individuals.
In their past lives, they both loved this song and tried their best to live each day as described in the lyrics. However, life took a turn for the worse, and their feelings for each other gradually faded.
Now that we can start over, there are no longer any factors that could affect our relationship. All I want in this life is to grow old with him.
As the song, imbued with strong personal emotion, slowly came to a close, enthusiastic applause erupted from the stadium.
Jiang Xia slowly withdrew his gaze from Lin Yanwan, then thanked everyone and was about to return to his seat when a girl suddenly asked loudly, "Handsome Jiang, I want to ask, did you write this song for your girlfriend?"
Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback, realizing that the song "Just Once" was from 2015. Not to mention whether there would be a movie called "Goodbye Mr. Loser" in this parallel world, the current time was 2009, and he was the so-called original creator.
But...should we admit it?
He smiled but did not answer, which others interpreted as tacit agreement.
"Her name is Lin Yanwan. She is my fiancée, not my girlfriend. I am going to marry her in the future."
Jiang Xia winked at his wife, and immediately a lot of people cheered and made "Oh~" sounds. Some even clamored for Lin Yanwan to go up and sing a love song with him.
Lin Yanwan blushed instantly; there was no way this could possibly be possible!
But hearing him confess his love in front of so many people made me feel an indescribable joy.
This isn't a clandestine relationship that's been kept secret; it's already a kind of unconventional official announcement, right?
"Waaaaah, Yanwan, Jiang is so romantic! He talks about you all the time. He must love you to death!" Cui Jiaying was incredibly envious.
Lin Yanwan blushed and said, "You will also find your other half in life."
"Hehe, then I'll accept this blessing. I'll return it to you when my wish comes true."
Cui Jiaying smiled slightly as she looked at Su Qing. It wasn't that she had feelings for Su Qing, but rather that among the boys she had met so far, only he met her requirements.
After Jiang Xia's interlude ended, others took the stage to perform, but the feeling of being overwhelmed by their sweet moments and smiling like an auntie was gone.
The instructors were also very interested in watching. It was indeed more fun for the new students during military training than being trained in the army.
The performances continued until 9 p.m. After the instructors dismissed the students, they began to return to their dormitories in twos and threes. Some people were discussing who performed the best, but without a doubt, Jiang Xia's love song sung a cappella left the deepest impression.
The two held hands and slowly followed behind the main group towards the Bauhinia Apartments, breaking away from the main group.
"How did you come up with the idea to sing that song?" Lin Yanwan looked at him with a smile.
"To be honest, I hadn't even thought about what to sing before I went up there, but the moment I saw you, the lyrics just automatically came out of my throat," Jiang Xia said helplessly.
This is probably what they mean by "love naturally deepens when it reaches its peak."
"Hmm... I guess it was passable." Lin Yanwan curled the corners of her lips into a happy smile.
Jiang Xia joked, "You were almost moved to tears, barely?"
"I didn't!" Lin Yanwan gritted her teeth, resolutely denying it.
"Tch, I saw it all. Tears welled up in your eyes. Tsk, call me 'husband' and let me hear it?"
"You stinky dog!"
Lin Yanwan said that not giving in to Jiang Xia was her last act of defiance.
"The ancients were right," Jiang Xia sighed.
"What?"
Lin Yanwan thought he would say something like "Only petty people and women are difficult to deal with," but Jiang Xia said with a smile, "If you marry a dog, you follow the dog. If I am a stinky dog, then you are a dog's wife."
"Pah!" she spat.
Jiang Xia pouted: "Unless you don't marry me."
"I won't marry him, I won't marry him! Not only will I not marry him, I'm going to tell Mom!" Lin Yanwan was very defiant at this moment.
"What are you complaining about?"
“You’re calling me a dog?” she retorted confidently.
"...If you won't marry me, I'll take the initiative to marry you, okay?"
Lin Yanwan gently tossed her head back and hummed, "That's more like it."
The two parted ways downstairs at the dormitory building. Lin Yanwan, unusually, took the initiative to rush into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a sweet kiss.
Consider this a reward for him today.
"Husband~" she whispered sweetly in his ear.
It's hard now, its fist is hard.
Jiang Xia took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his inner impulse. If they weren't at the dormitory entrance, he would have definitely pinned her down on the bed and taken advantage of her.
Just as he was about to take things a step further, Lin Yanwan suddenly pulled away from his embrace and chuckled, "Someone can't take it already? Goodnight, darling~"
After saying that, she skipped and hopped into the dormitory building, leaving Jiang Xia bewildered in the night wind.
"You'll pay for this later!" He angrily took out his phone and sent a text message to his wife.
"Tomorrow~ Just for this one day only, hehehe~"
"Baby, I'm telling you, you're doomed! Get ready to be Mrs. Jiang!"
"No way! You won't get to have sex with her today anyway!"
After sending the text message, Lin Yanwan held her phone to her chest with both hands, her face flushed. Only then did she realize that she was actually seducing him.
Oh dear, Lin Yanwan, how come your willpower is getting weaker and weaker?!
Tang Qiuting glanced at her silently and said weakly, "Sister Yanwan, what's wrong? Your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell? Should I go buy you some medicine?"
"No, no, Qiu Ting, I'm just... just a little tired from running all the way back," Lin Yanwan said, her face growing increasingly hot.
"Really? But I think you have a fever..." Qiu Ting said innocently.
Si Si glanced at Lin Yanwan's shy expression and said calmly, "Qiu Ting, you're right, your sister Yanwan does have a fever, but it's the 'sao' in 'Li Sao' (a type of classical Chinese poetry)."
