She handed the box to Su Li, saying, "Open it and take a look."
"Auntie, this looks very valuable, I can't accept it."
After all, she's not Gu Huanian's wife anymore, so accepting this gift now is a bit premature.
Another concern she had was that once the space was fully restored, it would devour all of these things.
If Chen Shujing ever says she wants to see one of these items, where can she get one for her?
Therefore, it's best for her not to accept this item for now.
Chen Shujing looked at her disapprovingly: "Last time we were arrested, I was very worried that I would never come back, and I regretted why I didn't give you the things before."
"So no matter what, you have to accept this. To be blunt, even if you and Hua Nian break up in the future, I will not regret giving you these things. In my heart, you are like my daughter."
Su Li hugged Chen Shujing tightly, her eyes welling up with tears, "Actually, I've always considered you my mother."
"Then you should definitely accept this. Open it and take a look."
Su Li released Chen Shujing, removed the lock from the box, and gently opened the lid. Inside were all sorts of gemstones she couldn't name, as well as ancient headdresses and gold hairpins, which looked extremely beautiful.
It was so dazzling it practically blinded her; "Are you really going to give me all this? I'm worried about what if I lose it someday? Maybe you should keep it for now!"
"What's yours is yours now that it's given to you. If you really lose it, so be it. Besides, last time we were kidnapped, you probably spent all your money trying to get me out, so these things are what you deserve."
Su Li didn't refuse again, but this thing really needed to be stored in a good place; it couldn't be put in the spatial storage first.
Her space was so unruly that any jade thrown in would immediately devour the light.
Su Li came out of Chen Shujing's room and returned to her own room with the box in her arms.
She put the gem box under the bed and tried to enter the space again, but it still didn't work.
Gu Huanian's dinner was quite good. After dinner...
Su Li received a letter from Chen Shengnan, which stated that she had already set off for the National Defense University.
She met her neighbor's brother there, and the two started dating.
They asked Su Li how she was doing, whether she had registered for school, and other such questions.
Chen Shengnan's neighbor's brother has been promoted to company commander in the past two years due to his outstanding performance, but the country feels that his education level is too low.
Therefore, several people who performed well in the military camps were brought to the National University of Defense Technology.
On her first day in Huashi, Chen Shengnan went straight to the school to register.
She had saved up some money in Lijiatun before, and this university was indeed quite far from her home.
Although her parents were initially delighted with her high score, they were also angry when they learned that she had applied to this university, blaming her for going to such a far-away university.
Her parents didn't give her a single penny, but the school did provide a considerable subsidy, which made her quite happy.
After she moved into the school dormitory, the school provided her with food coupons as a subsidy, but the school has not yet officially started classes.
The canteen wasn't cooking, so she planned to go to the state-run restaurant that day to buy some steamed buns and mantou for breakfast and dinner.
As soon as she left the school and entered the state-run restaurant, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.
She turned around and her eyes were full of surprise: "Brother Jiang Jin?" She was still a little unsure. He had matured a lot compared to before, was more manly, and had become more handsome. He was also much taller than when he first came out of the house.
Jiang Jin was also delighted and said with a smile, "It's me, Sheng Nan, what are you doing here?"
Chen Shengnan smiled and said, "I go to university here! What about you?"
When Jiang Jin heard her say she was going to university, he was happy for her. "Let's find a seat first. I just ordered a few dishes. We can eat and chat later."
Chen Shengnan nodded.
After the two found a spot, Jiang Jin looked at Chen Shengnan with a big smile on his face; "Shengnan, when I saw you just now, I really didn't recognize you. You've really grown up and become more and more beautiful."
Chen Shengnan herself knew that ever since Su Li came to Lijiatun, the two had met.
Her standard of living has risen sharply. Her skin condition and overall appearance are different from before. This is probably because she has been eating too well with Su Li!
She used to be like a tomboy, but now her hair has grown long and she wears two thick, shiny braids, and her skin is indeed much whiter than before.
She looked much prettier than before, and her ears still turned red when Jiang Jin said that.
"Brother Jiang Jin, what about you? Are you on a mission here?"
Jiang Jin smiled and said, "No, I came here for further studies. The higher-ups felt my education was a bit lacking, so they gave me a place. But speaking of which, didn't you used to dislike studying? How did you manage to get into university this time?"
It wasn't that he wanted to ask that; the two of them had both finished high school, but Jiang Jin dropped out of high school in his first year to join the army.
The two were in the same class at the time. Chen Shengnan's grades were not good, and she hated studying.
She was able to get into high school because he had predicted a few of the most difficult questions and explained them to her in advance.
He really couldn't understand how this girl could have gotten into university after going to the countryside. Could it be that she went crazy and became more ambitious after he joined the army?
"I got into university because I met a really good friend when I was working in the countryside. She often encouraged me to study with her, which is why I was able to get in."
"Is your friend male or female?" Jiang Jin asked nervously.
"She was a female educated youth who went to the countryside like me."
Hearing this, Jiang Jin felt a sense of relief. "I'm so happy you have such a friend. Oh, by the way, which university did you get into? The university I'm studying at is the National University of Defense Technology, which is nearby. If you ever need anything, you can come here to find me anytime."
Chen Shengnan was surprised to find that they were in the same university; her eyes were filled with delight. "I'm in the same university as you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jin was also somewhat amazed by the wonder of fate. The little sister he once had his eye on had now gone through countless trials and tribulations and been sent to his side.
He didn't want to miss out this time.
"That's great! We'll be alumni from now on."
Both young people had smiles on their faces.
After lunch, the two walked towards the school together. Jiang Jin cautiously asked, "Shengnan, do you have a boyfriend now?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shengnan's heart raced; she could hardly believe her ears.
Did Jiang Jing ask that because she thought it meant that?
