He picked it up and took a look. What caught his eye was a particularly beautiful and neat handwriting of small regular script with hairpin flowers. The handwriting was not inferior to those of the ladies from wealthy families who had been practicing calligraphy since childhood. He knew that his Suisui was hiding her talent, and today he finally had the solid evidence.
After a quick glance at the content, the first few sentences instantly attracted him.
"There is a country overseas, called Aolai. It is close to the sea. In the sea there is a mountain called Huaguo Mountain. This mountain is the ancestor of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established when the clear and turbid waters separated..."
(A tribute to Journey to the West, quoting a passage from the original text. The author’s writing skills are limited, and I am really ashamed. If you don’t like it, please don’t criticize!)
He didn't expect that his little girl had such great talent that she could even write stories. If time had allowed, he would definitely have finished reading it.
He has now gotten the answer he wanted, proving that his guess might be true. The person in front of him might no longer be the same person as before. If it is as he expected, he actually felt a little worried.
He wondered, would she suddenly disappear one day?
He didn't know where to start or how to ask, so he could only pretend that he knew nothing. However, not knowing anything made him even more anxious because he was afraid of losing!
Jiang Sui quickly came back after washing her face, and she was back to her fair and tender appearance, with the same sweet smile!
She didn't notice anything different about Xiao Hechuan, but instead asked him if she had washed herself clean.
Xiao Hechuan nodded and responded lightly, with a hint of worry between his brows.
"It's clean. But the store is so busy today. Why did you want to come back to practice calligraphy?" He naturally pulled her over, held her in his arms, and rested his chin gently on her shoulder.
Jiang Sui naturally felt that something was unusual about him today, but she couldn't put it into words.
"It's a sunny day today. I've been running around and working hard lately, so I'm exhausted. I just wanted to take a break from my busy schedule. I'll go to the store soon."
"Since you are tired, take a good rest for two days. The things at home are not just your business. We all see your hard work. Sui Sui, don't worry. In two years at most, I will let you live a better life. You just need to stay by my side and I will be happy every day."
His sudden confession caught Jiang Sui off guard, but he was also filled with joy.
"What's wrong with you today? Why do I feel like you are worried about something?" Jiang Sui raised his head from his arms and looked at him with some confusion.
Of course Xiao Hechuan would not admit it, but he did not say any more nonsense. He simply held the back of her head and kissed her without saying anything. The kiss was gentle and passionate, making her unable to resist and dizzy.
He really was. Ever since the two of them had their first kissing experience, he would pull me in almost every night, but he would always restrain himself and not take the last step.
How could one not be moved when they were so close to each other every day? Their feelings gradually grew stronger.
Xiao Hechuan thought of himself as a person who could control himself extremely well, but now he seemed to be addicted to Sui Sui. Sometimes in class, when he was listening to the knowledge and strategies that he had already memorized, he would always be distracted when he was bored. Looking at everything outside the window, he could think of her figure and smile. He would unconsciously wonder what she was doing at the moment, whether she was very busy or tired?
Therefore, Xiao Hechuan would fetch water to wash her feet almost every night, and it seemed to have become a habit.
Now, I have nothing to give you. The only thing I can give you is my sincere and passionate love.
…
It took Jiang Sui seven days to finish writing the script of the play "Havoc in Heaven". Then he took the thick letter to Xia Wanning's residence in Jeju, found the doorman, and asked them to send the letter to Xia Wanning who was far away in Kyoto.
Xia Wanning was also waiting for her reply every day. She knew everything Jiang Sui did in Jeju and admired women like her from the bottom of her heart. She built up the business in a short period of time and did it so well. She just liked to be friends with capable women like her, rather than those who were just showy for show. They acted pretentiously all day long but actually could not accomplish anything of note in their lives.
For three consecutive months, Xiao Hechuan had been ranked first in the exam at the end of the month, living up to everyone's expectations. Many people had changed from being unconvinced at the beginning to being convinced. If the first time was just luck, then what about the second and third times? Were they all luck? That was impossible.
Luo Ming looked at the list and found that his name was still behind Xiao Hechuan. He had obviously worked very hard, studying until midnight every day. He was the first to come in the morning and the last to leave, but why was he not as good as Xiao Hechuan?
He read Xiao Hechuan's policy papers over and over again. Perhaps he was too arrogant and unwilling to admit that he was really not as good as others. He did not think that his policy papers were worse than his.
He was puzzled and trapped himself in a dead end. In the end, he used a reason to convince himself.
He was just relying on the guidance of Mr. Zhong Yun. If he could also become Mr. Zhong Yun's disciple, he would not necessarily be worse than him, but would be better than him.
Luo Ming has a good family background and has always been the kind of kid who wins at the starting line. He is not convinced. Why should Xiao Hechuan, a poor student from a rural background, be able to surpass others as a latecomer?
Today happened to be the day when Ye Shu was released from house arrest. She had a really hard time in the past two months. She was taught a lesson by the two teaching maids. If she said something wrong, she would be slapped on the palm. If she used inappropriate words, she would be punished. In short, her every word and action had to be careful. She also had to read books about women's virtues, women's precepts, and women's rules every day. Not only did she have to read them, she also had to memorize them!
For Ye Shu, this was torture, but she couldn't lose her temper with them, hit them or scold them. She was simply worn out to the point of having no temper at all.
She repeatedly apologized to her father and asked him to lift her house arrest and drive away the two maids, but her father's attitude was very tough. He said frankly that Xiao Hechuan was very angry about her going to the house to provoke other people's family and came to talk to him in person, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.
Ye Congwen was just giving face to Xiao Hechuan because he was concerned about the future status of Baiyun Academy in Jeju.
Ye Shu came to the academy as soon as she was released from house arrest today, just wanting to apologize to him in a nice voice, not for anything else, just to fulfill her own wish. She didn't want to give up Xiao Hechuan so easily, she wanted to try again and let him see her changes.
She stood on the road that students had to take after school, watching group after group of students leave the academy, and everyone greeted her.
But after waiting for a long time, when almost everyone had left, Xiao Hechuan did not show up, but Luo Ming came instead.
