Chapter 8 She's Sweet
From an outsider's perspective, she was right.
The ill-fated relationship between the original owner and Chen Zhou was guided by Chen Zhou with ulterior motives from the very beginning.
Of course, Xia Keqing did not deny that the original owner also had other problems.
But now she has become Xia Keqing in the article.
For the sake of your own happy life, what does it matter if you are a little bit dog-like?
Let the scumbag bear the consequences of offending the male protagonist, he deserves it.
"Chen Zhou and I have never crossed the line."
Shen Jichuan's frown instantly relaxed.
He admitted that he was selfish in front of this little girl.
Even though she had once had an unclear relationship with that guy named Chen Zhou.
But as long as she was willing to come back to fulfill their engagement, as long as she was willing to break up with that man and promised never to do it again, he could forgive her.
Now listening to her confession, it is undeniable that his heart was suddenly filled with joy.
He curled the corners of his lips and said "hmm".
Xia Keqing glanced at him and saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't suppress it.
She seemed to have discovered something remarkable.
Huh? So easy to appease?
The tense atmosphere between the two of them disappeared.
Xia Keqing continued to act coquettishly, "Brother Shen, so you came here specifically to check on me!"
"Are you satisfied now?"
Shen Jichuan coughed dryly, looking a little uncomfortable.
This is something that concerns your life-long event, so of course you cannot be careless.
Although he respected his parents and actively cooperated with the marriage arranged by his parents, he was the one who would spend his life with her, so he always had to carefully examine the woman.
She is beautiful and has fair skin.
Shen Jichuan secretly added another one in his heart.
Sweet mouth.
She loves eating sugar-roasted chestnuts and can't stop eating them.
Sugar-roasted chestnuts are like sweets.
Shen Jichuan said that he had silently memorized it.
He also bought a portion of peanut paste, which was also sweet.
The peanut aroma is very strong.
Xia Keqing was amazed at the first sight.
In an era without industrial pollution, everything tasted very sweet.
In her previous life, Xia Keqing often saw ancestors reminiscing about the past on the Internet, saying that certain things in that era were particularly delicious.
She didn't feel much at the time.
Because people have filters for things they have lost and things they cannot get.
Time is fair to everyone.
So things from the past are the most fragrant.
Now, Xia Keqing really wanted to slide down on her knees and apologize.
She was wrong.
She shouldn't think that.
A bowl of peanut paste is so fragrant. The food in this era is really different.
"This is delicious, would you like to have a bite too?"
Xia Keqing directly scooped up a spoonful of peanut paste and put it into Shen Jichuan's mouth.
Shen Jichuan: …
After doing that, Xia Keqing finally realized whether what they did was considered an indirect kiss.
She couldn't help but blushing.
Although she always wanted to flirt with this serious man, this time it was purely an accident.
But Xia Keqing was thick-skinned. Even though she was screaming like a groundhog in her heart, she remained calm on the surface. "Brother Shen, isn't it delicious? Can you have another sip?"
She took another sip, her eyes and eyebrows curved with a smile.
If there were tea connoisseurs from later generations present at the scene, they would know that there was a big bowl of "green tea" here.
But what does Shen Jichuan, a straight man, know?
He only knew that his fiancée was so simple, innocent and unpretentious!
The way she smiles with her eyebrows bent is so damn charming!
After returning from his date with Xia Keqing, Shen Jichuan, who had been single for 27 years and whose heart was as firm as a rock and whose principles were extremely strong, suffered from insomnia for the first time.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Xia Keqing's every move and smile filled his mind.
He touched his heart, which was hot and soft.
Shen Jichuan finally understood what "the land of gentleness and the grave of heroes" meant.
What does it mean that "steel is tempered a hundred times and becomes as soft as silk"?
Shen Jichuan read all these from books.
At that time, he was dismissive of these words.
Now he just wanted the day to dawn quickly so he could see her soon.
…
After returning to school, Xia Keqing had been reviewing today's date with Shen Jichuan in her mind.
Check for omissions and fill in the gaps. After all, for her, holding on to Shen Jichuan's thighs is more important than anything else.
She couldn't leave any hidden dangers for herself, which would cause discord between husband and wife.
Of course, holding onto Shen Jichuan's thighs was only the first step. The next step was for her to find a future for herself.
Although the male protagonist is her type in terms of both ability and appearance, she is not used to pinning all her hopes on others.
What if the hero or heroine of the book she is in has the aura of the protagonist and the plot is irreversible, and she, the "original wife", is destined to be cannon fodder, so she has to leave a way out for herself.
But at present, this retreat does not conflict at all with holding on to Shen Jichuan's thighs.
When she traveled through time, the original owner still had two years to graduate.
The original owner's major was literature, which cannot be said to be useless in this era.
If I follow Shen Jichuan to join the army, as a military dependent, there will be a lot of things I can do.
Of course, Xia Keqing remembered the heroine of the period novel she had read before. In the early days of this era when management was strict, she took the opportunity to "speculate and profiteer" and made her first pot of gold.
She doesn't have much talent for business, so it seems she needs to learn her professional knowledge well.
She has an advantage in this regard.
The original owner was from the south, and she had an accent, which was a bit heavy, but Xia Keqing was from the north before she traveled through the book, and she spoke standard Mandarin.
Many people don’t know that Mandarin, also known as the National Language or Official Language, is based on the pronunciation system of the Beijing dialect, a northern language.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that people from the south necessarily speak non-standard Mandarin. It’s just that the original author’s Mandarin was non-standard. Her Mandarin with a hint of her hometown accent was even ridiculed by her mother-in-law (Chen Zhou’s mother).
This is what was described in the original text.
Xia Keqing was reviewing as she returned to the dormitory. Her roommates had already returned. When they saw Xia Keqing, they immediately came up to her and said, "Wow! Keqing, you look so beautiful today!"
"Lend it to me next time!"
If Xia Keqing didn't have the original owner's memories, she would probably feel offended.
But materials were relatively scarce in this era.
It is common to lend things like clothes to others.
It's not worth making a fuss about.
She smiled and said, "Okay."
"I bought this dress at the market. It's not expensive at all. I'll take you guys to bargain next time."
As soon as the roommates heard about the bargaining, they immediately became interested.
"real?"
Xia Keqing nodded, "Of course it's true!"
The two roommates smiled and looked eager to try.
Xia Keqing’s roommates are all nice people.
In addition to Xia Keqing, the other three are He Xiaolan, Zhao Juan, and Li Fen.
Among them, Li Fen is the oldest and is already twenty-four years old this year.
She went to the countryside as an educated youth and married a local. After she was admitted to university, her husband's family was unwilling to let her go, fearing that she would never come back. She couldn't bear to leave her child, so she had to find ways to take her husband and child to school together.
So she seldom goes back to the dormitory. She only studies in the dormitory when she has to take cram exams. She usually has to go home to take care of her husband and children. She is shy and doesn't like to talk.
She was the only one not in the dormitory at this time.
The most lively one is He Xiaolan.
She is a local, lively and cheerful, even a little naive.
This shows that her family background should be good and she is favored at home.
Zhao Juan should be a few years older than Xia Keqing.
She seemed very sophisticated in her dealings with people, but she didn't talk much, and the original text didn't explain it, so Xia Keqing didn't know her specific situation.
Just through observation and memories of their daily interactions, she felt that this was also a female classmate with a story.
She studies very hard.
Of course, no one who gets into college in this era does not work hard.
Even the carefree He Xiaolan likes to read books at ordinary times.
Everyone cherishes this hard-won opportunity to study.
