Chapter 63: Test of Love
TL: Etude
What are you two talking about?
Gao Wenhui, with newly bought headphones, squeezed out of the crowded area and plopped down next to Feng Nanshu.
Im educating Feng Nanshu on the most advanced love knowledge.
You didnt let me teach, and now youre doing it secretly? Oh, I get it, youre into the nurturing game!
With a cold smile, Gao Wenhui retorted, Sly dog, you really have many tricks up your sleeve.
Feng Nanshu finished the last bit of cotton candy and looked up with her moist eyes, Wenhui, whats this nurturing game?
There are always some naive girls in the world, clueless about love, like a blank slate, yet they tend to trust others easily. Some men exploit this, molding them into shapes they prefer. Thats what nurturing means.
Jiang Qin couldnt help but twitch his mouth, thinking, Whats wrong with you, Gao? Why is every sentence so suggestive? Arent you supposed to be focusing on your postgraduate studies?
Feng Nanshu understood this simplistic explanation, but felt it was irrelevant to her, Wenhui, Ive never met such girls.
You are exactly that kind of girl.
Feng Nanshu was struck as if by lightning, Am I really that foolish?
Gao Wenhui frowned, This foolishness doesnt mean stupid. It describes someone whos slow in matters of the heart, taking a long time even to recognize their own feelings.
When did I ever feel that way?
Your hearts already fluttering, okay?
Jiang Qin couldnt resist interrupting, Gao Wenhui, stop teaching already. My little rich lady scored 671 in her college entrance exam. Dare you call her foolish? What did you score?
I also got six hundred well, anyway, less than her.
Jiang Qin scoffed and turned to Feng Nanshu, Shes never been in a relationship but acts like a teacher. Youd definitely be misled!
Gao Wenhui felt a sore spot hit, Though Ive never been in a relationship, I think I understand more than Feng Nanshu!
Fine, let me ask you a question. Your boyfriend sees a beautiful bouquet of flowers on his way to the hospital but doesnt buy them for you. What would you do after finding out?
How can that be okay? Why wouldnt he buy them for me? Love needs little gifts to stay fresh. I think Id directly ask him why and then decide whether to forgive him. Gao Wenhui was fully immersed, already beginning to get angry.
Jiang Qin mocked, Let the little rich lady answer.
Feng Nanshu pursed her rosy lips, I should ask, Why are you going to the hospital? Are you sick?
Gao Wenhui was stunned for three seconds, then cursed inwardly, feeling like a fool, disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Jiang Qin laughed at her reaction, thinking, Theres indeed a difference between those whove been tutored and those who havent.
As for the little rich lady, shes genuinely smart. Her ignorance in many areas is because shes never learned or experienced them. But once you explain the logic to her, shes incredibly adept.
And Gao Wenhui? Shes just theorizing without experience, thinking she understands love from reading a few romance novels. But those novelists might be inexperienced themselves!
Enough, lets all go back to sleep. We have military training tomorrow. None of us has been in a relationship; what insightful discussion can we have?
Jiang Qin was ready to leave, but Gao Wenhui couldnt accept it, No, no, ask another question. Im sure I can answer it!
Jiang Qin sat back, exasperated, If your boyfriend sees a beautiful bouquet on his way to a hotel room but doesnt buy them for you, what would you do?
I know, ask him why hes going to a hotel. Whos he staying with?
Pah, are you questioning me? Dont you trust me? Break up!
??????
Gao Wenhui felt as if she had been struck on the head, her world going dark.
Jiang Qin laughed so hard he almost cried, thinking, You cant even handle my two punches, and youre teaching my little rich lady about love? Now do you realize how treacherous the human heart can be?
Jiang Qin, I have a question for you too! Feng Nanshu suddenly spoke up.
Jiang Qin turned his attention to the little rich lady, Alright, go ahead.
If I saw a particularly delicious cotton candy on my way to the hospital but didnt buy it for you, would you scold me when I got home?
Why would I let you go to the hospital alone? Stop kidding. Id definitely be by your side, buying the cotton candy for you.
As he finished speaking, Feng Nanshu couldnt help but smile, her eyes starting to shimmer with a watery glow, twinkling and dazzling.
Meanwhile, Gao Wenhui stood there dumbfounded, first staring at Feng Nanshu and then at Jiang Qin, thinking that among everyone present, she was the least experienced.
How did they come up with such answers?
She had also tried to think of a response, wondering why one would go to the hospital, only to be completely blindsided by Jiang Qins answer!
It was half past ten at night, and the darkness had deepened.
After escorting the little rich lady back to her dorm, promising to go see the carp with her the next day, Jiang Qin walked back, his face heavy with thoughts.
To be honest, after seven years of unrequited love and being asked for money and property in arranged meetings, he felt a bit fearful of romance.
Could a person who has lived twice really grasp love so easily? What a joke!
Moreover, he was still unclear whether the little rich lady relied on him more or liked him more, making it really hard for him to think clearly.
But
The phrase a lifetime sounded really significant.
When a girl asks how to be with you for a lifetime, its fatal.
Old Jiang, why are you so distracted?
As soon as he entered, Cao Guangyu sat up from his bed, surprised by the troubled look on Jiang Qins face.
Old Jiang had always been impressive since the beginning of the term, handling everything with ease. This was the first time he showed such an expression, so Cao Guangyu immediately became curious.
Its nothing.
Were brothers, what cant you tell us?
The more Jiang Qin said that, the more Cao Guangyu couldnt resist inquiring.
Its nothing major, just a bit troubled, Jiang Qin said, rubbing his forehead and inadvertently furrowing his brows.
Seeing this, Cao Guangyu got excited. He recognized this feeling; it was the trouble of dealing with a difficult situation. It was the first time hed seen Jiang Qin flustered since the start of the term. If he couldnt pry it out and have a good laugh, he wouldnt be able to sleep tonight!
Old Jiang, spit it out. Ill help you analyze it!
Zhou Chao and Ren Ziqiang also gathered around, Yeah, tell us. Three heads are better than one!
Jiang Qin sighed, Alright, Ill keep it brief.
Wait, let me sit up first!
Cao Guangyu rolled out of bed. He wasnt stupid; lying down while laughing was the easiest way to get a stitch, Go ahead, Old Jiang. Im ready.
Jiang Qin cleared his throat, I once swore not to get involved in love, but today suddenly a girl said she wants to be with me for a lifetime. Now I kind of feel like gnawing on a bone. Do you guys know where to buy tasty ribs?
Cao Guangyu slapped himself, thinking, Thats what I get for being nosy. Ive brought it on myself.
AN: Ive been on a plane all day yesterday and driving on the highway today. My stockpile of chapters is used up, Im crying. The pace might be a bit slow, and the writing not very detailed. If there are any issues, feel free to scold me. Ill definitely stock up more chapters in the future.
