However, Jiang Chu nodded and said, "Mom is right. I've decided to postpone the plan for a while."
"No need!" Just then, Lin Han's voice suddenly came from the second floor. "Your plan is only missing two important pieces. Once these two pieces are in place, you'll have everything you need! Xiao Chu, the plan will be implemented next week!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Lin Han came downstairs, grabbed Jiang Chu's ear, and sneered, "You brat, you didn't include me and your sister Rou Rou in this whole thing from the beginning, did you?"
"Sister, I..."
"Alright, enough nonsense!" Lin Han said coldly. "Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, let's celebrate properly. The day after tomorrow, I have an important gift to deliver, it's for you."
As soon as Lin Han spoke, Jiang Ma's attitude softened considerably: "Hanhan, you've seen through Chu'er's plan?"
“Auntie, don’t I know this rascal well? Besides, I have an inside man.” Lin Han’s gaze fell on Luo Xiaonan.
Luo Xiaonan seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and immediately threw herself into her arms, almost bursting into tears.
“Xiao Nan, your aunt and uncle are doing this for your own good, so don’t be angry with them,” Lin Han said. “You and Xiao Chu’s greatest strength is your intelligence, and your greatest weakness is your stubbornness! Do you really think your brains are omnipotent? Your plan is missing two strong pillars. Sometimes, don’t always think that wisdom can conquer everything. What you need is hardcore strength, which you don’t have, but Rou Rou and I do, and that’s enough.”
Jiang Chu also felt a little ashamed: "Sister, I'm sorry."
"You haven't wronged me, you're just looking down on me!" Lin Han cursed. "You didn't even call me in for something like this, do you even respect me as your master? You bastard!"
This was the first time Jiang Chu had been so harshly scolded by Lin Han, and he felt somewhat aggrieved.
He didn't want to put Lin Han in a difficult position, which is why he didn't tell Lin Han.
Lin Han realized he had been a bit too harsh, so he softened his tone: "Alright, let's rearrange our plans. The gift will arrive tomorrow. Don't be too surprised after you see it."
...
In the afternoon, Jiang Chu took Luo Xiaonan home.
The Luo family also moved.
Now we live in the same neighborhood as the Jiang family.
Because the community is located by the sea, the two families are actually "separated by the sea," which has become a source of amusement for them during their leisure time.
Today we had our second snowfall of the winter, and it was heavier than the first one.
Jiang Chu held Luo Xiaonan's hand tightly, his tone incredibly gentle: "I'm sorry."
"Jiang Chu, I didn't blame your uncle and aunt. I... I was telling the truth just now." Luo Xiaonan was a little agitated.
"You mean you really want to marry me?" Jiang Chu asked, blushing.
This was a question that the two of them never touched upon in the previous "plane".
In reality, the two went their separate ways after graduating from university.
Although we have each other's WeChat, and we contact each other several times a week and even chat all night, it's just teasing and sending each other blessings.
The two people are more like friends than lovers.
"I don't want to talk to you." Luo Xiaonan gritted her teeth and broke free from Jiang Chu's hand.
However, Jiang Chu was shameless enough to grab the other person's hand.
Luo Xiaonan was powerless to struggle and could only sigh deeply.
"It's all because we were born in the wrong era, in the wrong place, Jiang Chu," Luo Xiaonan said with tears in her eyes. "If we weren't in this place, if it were a peaceful and prosperous era, how wonderful that would be!"
“If that were the case, I might not even be able to get close to you,” Jiang Chu said.
Hearing this, Luo Xiaonan pinched Jiang Chu's face and said angrily, "Are you that insecure?"
"I...maybe I really am quite insecure." Jiang Chu smiled slightly. "Every day I'm troubled by the same thing, calculating every day. Hey, today I narrowed the gap between my overall strength and Pumpkin's by three points! Tomorrow I'll be down again. Damn, Pumpkin, how come you're so resilient, you've pulled ahead of me by five points again!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiaonan was both amused and exasperated: "Jiang Chu, you can be very mature sometimes, but now you're acting like a child. Do you even understand feelings?"
"I?"
Jiang Chu thought of his past life.
That past life, innocent yet more mature than any of his peers.
If the life of the rich is what we call living, then his life can only be called merely existing—living a life of exhaustion, struggling for money and a better life.
Thinking about this made Jiang Chu feel particularly bad.
"Jiang Chu, you need to learn how to manage relationships," Luo Xiaonan said sarcastically. "Otherwise, you won't mature!"
Jiang Chu rolled his eyes: "What right do you have to mock me, you damn pumpkin!"
Luo Xiaonan pinched Jiang Chu's chin and said, "Because I know better than you!"
