Gu Zhiyuan and Gu Zhiyuan exchanged a helpless glance. They had originally planned to go up the mountain for a stroll in the afternoon, but seeing the situation, they decided to just stay in the house instead.
The two of them ducked and went back to their own rooms.
Xu Ningyan simply took out some of the candy, roasted peanuts, melon seeds, rice candy, peanut candy, and glutinous rice strips that would be used to entertain guests the next day, put them in a large plate, and placed it on the heated table.
I took out another math, physics and chemistry book that I had bought before, sat down at the heated table, warmed myself by the fire, ate some snacks and read the book.
It's rare to have such a leisurely time.
Gu Zhiyuan was teased by those aunties to his face, but he didn't show it on his face. However, his heart was beating faster.
I couldn't help but think along with what those aunties were saying: what would it be like if I really had a daughter with Xu Ningyan? Would she look more like Xu Ningyan or more like me?
I've heard that women tend to resemble their fathers more often, so does that mean they still prefer having sons?
My mind was a jumbled mess, and after a long while, my face turned red from the tips of my ears all the way down to my neck.
I had to drink a large cup of herbal tea to suppress the indescribable anger in my heart.
I couldn't help but despise myself. I usually pride myself on being a person of integrity, even if I'm not exactly a paragon of virtue.
Only now do I realize that I am just an ordinary man with base, unspeakable desires and greed.
Xu Ningyan is still young, not even an adult yet, so he has to be patient and wait a little longer!
He drank another cup of cold tea, took a few deep breaths, opened the window, and stood by the window for a while in the cold wind. He was so cold that he lost all human desires. Then he rubbed his face and went to see what Xu Ningyan was doing.
Xu Ningyan's door was half-open. After all, the room was warm with a stove burning inside, but it was a bit stuffy, so leaving it half-open allowed for some ventilation.
As soon as you arrive at the door, the sweet and sticky aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and chestnuts wafts over you.
Looking up, I saw Xu Ningyan sitting at the heated table, intently reading a book, her pen scribbling on a draft paper.
His facial expressions were also very vivid; one moment he was frowning, the next he was biting his pen in deep thought, and then he suddenly realized something...
From the doorway, only one side could be seen. Just then, the sky cleared up, the sun came out, and a beam of light shone in from the window, making Xu Ningyan's cheeks appear soft and her fine downy hairs seem to glow.
Gu Zhiyuan stared at it for a long time before he came to his senses. He regretted that he should have brought a camera with him when he came to the countryside.
Otherwise, how many of those scenes could have been filmed?
He was already planning to go to Sun Zhou after the New Year and ask him to find a way to get a camera.
Sun Zhou, far away in Beijing, sneezed a few times: "Listen, thank you..."
Xu Ningyan was so engrossed in doing the problem that she didn't notice Gu Zhiyuan's arrival.
She got stuck on a problem, biting her pen for ages without figuring it out, and then she slumped back in frustration. It was tough on her, a humanities student.
What's that saying again? Some high school students forget all their knowledge the day after the college entrance exam.
She was one of them.
Moreover, she was a liberal arts student, and math, physics, and chemistry were her unspeakable pain back then.
The job she did after graduation had nothing to do with this; she had almost completely forgotten what she knew from high school.
I never imagined that after time-traveling, I would have to start all over again.
She tried her best to recall the theorems and equations she had returned to her teacher, but she still felt somewhat powerless!
I want to cry! Since God already let her transmigrate, why did He have to make her learn math, physics, and chemistry?
I have this urge to lie down and not get up wherever I fall.
With her eyes closed, Xu Ningyan rubbed her temples and cheered herself up. There were still more than three years until the college entrance examination was reinstated. Even if she had to cram, she could still manage to finish this set of math, physics, and chemistry textbooks.
Just as I was about to open my eyes, I heard Gu Zhiyuan's voice: "Don't you know how to do this problem?"
Startled, Xu Ningyan opened her eyes abruptly and saw Gu Zhiyuan standing beside her, looking down at the problem she hadn't solved.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, he smiled and ruffled her hair, then took the pencil from her hand and scribbled a few lines on the draft paper, explaining as he went: "First, substitute this formula, then... then like this... and then... and you get..."
It was very concise and clear, and Xu Ningyan understood it.
Not only did she understand, but she also quickly solved the next two problems by substituting the formulas according to what Gu Zhiyuan said.
Unable to contain her joy, she hugged Gu Zhiyuan tightly, wishing she could kiss him twice to express her excitement and gratitude.
Upon looking up and meeting Gu Zhiyuan's face, Xu Ningyan immediately chickened out, quietly lowering her hands and taking a step back imperceptibly: "Brother Gu! You are electricity! You are light! You are my only legend! Brother Gu, please accept my bow!"
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan instinctively felt that Xu Ningyan had just rushed over and hugged him, seemingly wanting to kiss him twice, but for some reason, she backed away.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Actually, if that girl had really kissed him, he might not have been able to dodge it. It was all too sudden...
However, he quickly composed himself and sat down next to Xu Ningyan with a smile: "When did you start learning this?"
Suddenly, he felt a pang of self-reproach. He had been living under the same roof as Xu Ningyan, yet he hadn't noticed that Xu Ningyan had been studying all along.
It seems he still doesn't care enough! He even boasts that he's fallen for the girl, yet he hasn't shown nearly enough concern!
But why would Xu Ningyan want to learn this?
Gu Zhiyuan was somewhat puzzled.
Xu Ningyan had already prepared her answer, just waiting for Gu Zhiyuan to find out and ask her about it so she could reply: "I only managed to finish elementary school because I had to take care of Xu Zhenzhu! Being able to read and do accounting already made me much better than many girls in the brigade! But after I started working in the county, I found that girls who are more educated can do better jobs than those who are not educated!"
"Besides, although my elder brother and I are husband and wife in name only, I don't want to embarrass him! Even though I can't go to school, I can still learn more by reading more books, understanding more principles, and acquiring more knowledge. I won't be any worse than those who have gone to school!"
"Most importantly, I love reading! Reading has shown me the outside world and taught me many things that no one else had ever told me! If one day I want to visit the places described in books, to see how vast and rich our country is, and how beautiful its mountains and rivers are..."
As she spoke, Xu Ningyan was moved by her own words! Listen to how sincere and heartfelt it was, encompassing everything from reality to emotions to ideals.
Tell me, are you moved?
Gu Zhiyuan was naturally moved!
He never expected that the seemingly carefree and thoughtless girl would have such a delicate mind.
Not only are they afraid of losing face, but they also have such ideals and goals!
