Jiang Bai brought up the issue of jealousy just to tease Zhao Yi, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to admit it so readily.
Looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring expression, as if he were about to bravely sacrifice himself at any moment, Jiang Bai suddenly didn't find him annoying.
She doesn't dislike Zhao Yi.
As the male protagonist of this novel, Zhao Yi naturally possesses great personal charm, not to mention his treatment of those he likes.
Yes, Jiang Bai could vaguely sense that Zhao Yi liked her a little. How could a woman not notice a man's tender gaze?
Zhao Yi admires Jiang Bai not only as a mother, but also as a charming woman.
Jiang Bai's heart stirred slightly.
With Zhao Yi being so outstanding, what woman could resist being attracted to him?
She almost wanted to agree to Zhao Yi's proposal immediately. The two of them were already husband and wife, and even if they were together now, it would just be the relationship that a husband and wife should have had long ago.
In fact, it is abnormal for Jiang Bai to insist on divorce now. Nowadays, when a woman gets married, it is like being reborn. No one will keep being reborn.
If Zhao Yi were to take it a little more seriously, all her strange behaviors would become reasons for her to be branded a witch, and she would probably end up being burned alive.
Jiang Bai lowered his head reservedly, his fingers fidgeting under the table, unsure how to answer Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi smiled faintly: "As my wife, I think I have the right to ask other men to stay away from you, right?"
Jiang Bai nodded: "You are qualified."
Zhao Yi's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Jiang Bai to agree with him, and he stammered, "What...what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Bai blinked innocently.
"You like me too, don't you?" Zhao Yi's smile grew wider and wider. After saying that, he shook his head fiercely. "No, you love me."
Jiang Bai's face flushed red. Whether before or after her transmigration, she had never been in a relationship and had no idea how to deal with this situation.
She coughed lightly and said, "It's not quite to the point of love, but I admire you very much."
"Admire?" Zhao Yi repeated.
Jiang Bai could see a huge question mark slowly rising above his head.
He asked, "What does 'appreciation' mean?"
"It means I admire you," Jiang Bai explained.
"Does it mean that the wife admires her husband?" Zhao Yi pressed.
Jiang Bai coughed twice more: "It can be, or it can not, it depends on your performance."
After saying that, she hurriedly stood up from her chair and walked away quickly.
Zhao Yi felt as if he were walking on cotton, and his whole being felt unreal and floating.
—It turns out that Jiang Bai not only regarded him as a friend and mentor, but also had romantic feelings for him.
Since that's the case, he will definitely keep up the good work and strive to win the heart of his beloved as soon as possible.
Zhao Yi secretly made up his mind.
-
After Zhao Xile pretended to be sick, the atmosphere among the four members of the Zhao family suddenly changed.
Jiang Bai's relationship with Zhao Ping'an and Zhao Xile is getting better and better, and the way the three of them talk about everything makes Zhao Yi extremely jealous.
He and Jiang Bai seemed to have reached the most shy period of their ambiguous relationship. Before, they would chat like friends during dinner, but now they would often look at each other for a few seconds and then turn their heads away.
Zhao Ping'an is simply the happiest person in the world.
Ever since Jiang Bai gave the hint that he could go home anytime, he's had a little tail following him around.
After each class, Zhao Xile would follow him around, making it impossible for Zhao Ping'an not to go home.
After returning home every day, his relationship with his classmates not only did not drift apart, but actually deepened.
His former roommates put their arms around him and said, "We're so envious that you can go home."
Zhao Ping'an was deeply shocked: "I thought none of you wanted to go back."
"How could we not want to? How could we not want to?" The roommates were almost in tears. "We just can't go back!"
Tan Ji's son, Tan Yongyan, was in the same class as Zhao Ping'an. He secretly told him, "People used to say you were a cold-blooded person, that you didn't even miss home when you first started school."
Apart from Zhao Ping'an, who was admitted temporarily, the rest of the students had already studied for two years or more. Because Zhao Ping'an was older and made rapid progress, the teacher placed him in this class.
Tan Yongyan said, "Your roommates cried for two whole years before they stopped clamoring to go back, but you came here acting like a little adult, with a face that says 'I'm very sensible, I'm very strong.' Who would like you?"
It's like comparing them to the very core of the earth when they first entered school.
Zhao Ping'an thought about it and realized that he was the only one who had boarded at the beginning of the semester in the past six months.
He asked, rather inappropriately, "So, did you cry?"
Tan Yongji pouted. He was only two years old when he first entered school and would occasionally wet the bed. He would often write articles that his teachers praised during the day, but would cry and call for his mother at night.
The teachers living in the school were all elderly people who couldn't even cook, let alone coax children. After a few of them got together, they bought candy for Tan Yongji every day. Whenever he cried, they would give him a piece of candy. When he returned home after half a year, his mother, Xu Yuanqing, saw that he had a mouthful of bad teeth.
Xu Yuanqing's vision went black.
Eating sweets every night and not brushing your teeth properly, how can you not get cavities?
The next day, before dawn and as soon as the rooster crowed, Xu Yuanqing walked more than ten miles of mountain road to the school to have a good chat with all the teachers.
For more than two years after that, Tan Yongyan didn't get a single piece of candy.
It wasn't until he started losing his baby teeth and the decayed ones fell out, giving way to a row of neat little white teeth, that Xu Yuanqing announced the lifting of the ban.
But when it came to Zhao Ping'an, he didn't tell the truth. He only said, "Why am I crying? I get praised by my teacher every day. I love learning and I don't even go home on my days off."
Zhao Ping'an didn't believe a single word of it.
Ever since Tan Ji bought a house in the county town and his family moved there, Xu Yuanqing has been taking Tan Yongyan home every day.
This guy longs for his mother every day, so much so that he almost skips the second-to-last class and goes to the door to wait for her.
Zhao Pingan couldn't bear to expose him, but just shook his head and sighed, "I was afraid they would think I was not a good fit, so I endured my homesickness. I never thought that enduring myself and changing my true thoughts was what it meant to be a bad fit."
"It's okay, it's good that you've figured it out." Tan Yongji patted his shoulder, and because he wasn't tall enough, he even stood on tiptoe. "Don't they all like you now?"
Zhao Ping'an laughed and said, "Do they like me? They like the milk tea and fried chicken that my mother brings me."
Jiang Bai was worried that Zhao Ping'an wouldn't eat well, so he often brought him some new products to try. His close friends would also get some, and Jiang Bai would sometimes ask for their opinions.
In just over twenty days, not only Zhao Ping'an, but also his classmates and teachers have gained a lot of weight.
