She didn't like Li Muyan's personality at first; she thought he was too reckless and seemed like a cynical playboy.
After getting to know him over the past six months, she felt that he was actually quite nice. He was a simple and considerate person, although sometimes his thoughtfulness didn't quite resonate with her, but at least he did it anyway.
Leaving aside appearance, apart from her overly fair skin, her height and looks are exactly what she likes.
She's actually quite prone to developing feelings for someone based on their appearance, like with Yan Mo before.
But her liking wasn't exactly love. Like Yan Mo, after she frankly admitted that she had someone she liked, she let go.
She thought she had broken up with her boyfriend, but she hadn't actually been in a relationship at all, and she recovered in just one night.
She and Li Muyan actually got along quite well. They had a lot to talk about and never ran out of things to say. Li Muyan was smart, and when she explained physics and chemistry to him, he understood it quite quickly.
Moreover, she doesn't reject Li Muyan, and Li Muyan has confessed his feelings to her more than once, so she's decided to give it a try.
Gu Erdan also encouraged her to give it a try. Gu Erdan said that her soul, which had been single for over twenty years, had been subjected to the original owner's bad romantic encounters since she transmigrated to ancient times. She was probably developing a fear of men. If she didn't try to step out of that situation, she might continue to fear men in the future.
After recalling Zhang Yungui's matter, she did become more reluctant to interact with men her own age, and she spent more time with Lu Zheng. However, this was only because she knew that Lu Zheng only liked Gu Xin and that this would never change.
So she decided to give it a try.
What if she and Li Muyan are a good match in every way?
Seeing that Gu Nian hadn't spoken for a while, Li Muyan shook her hand: "Niannian, tell me! What are your conditions?"
Gu Nian snapped out of her daze: "Yi, you're not allowed to come looking for me so casually anymore. Look at your forehead, something must have happened to you these past few days! I don't want you to get hurt because you're coming to see me. I'll come to the prefectural city to see you when I have time. Until you can go out again, let's communicate by letter!"
Li Muyan smiled smugly: "Okay! I promise you."
He was secretly pleased; Niannian was showing him concern and feeling sorry for him.
Gu Nian continued, "Second, don't go and propose marriage to Aunt Luo. In my view, there is no such thing as an arranged marriage or a marriage where feelings are cultivated after marriage. What I want is for us to be mutually attracted before discussing marriage. I think our relationship hasn't reached the point of being mutually attracted yet. At least, we need to spend six months together before we can know."
Li Muyan pursed his lips. He was still thinking of going to talk to his mother about proposing marriage soon, to settle things first and avoid any trouble later. He really disliked what his maternal grandfather had said before, and he couldn't rest easy until they were engaged.
Gu Nian looked at him silently without saying a word.
She had considered this point; their mothers were good friends, and if she agreed, Li Muyan might talk to his mother about proposing marriage.
She didn't want to commit herself so early. In ancient times, if you were engaged and wanted to back out, it would hurt the relationship between the two families, not just the two of you.
Therefore, she wanted to bring this up first.
She didn't pressure Li Muyan.
Li Muyan eventually agreed to this, but he also made a request: "If you feel that we are in love after six months, then let's get engaged and get married after my eighteenth birthday, okay?"
Gu Nian nodded and continued with the third point: "The third requirement may be different from the current marital relationship in Da Zhou. I want a lifelong, monogamous relationship, where there can be no impurity between us. For example, if you have someone else in your heart, or if you touch someone else physically. Once the relationship is established, if you can't do that, I will leave you immediately, without asking why."
