Chapter 1377: Striving for a Chance
Jing Chu didn’t speak for a while. She was also thinking about the matter.
Chaoyang is the only opposite-gender outsider she can joke and laugh with over the years.
In her heart, he’s different from others, but saying it’s like the relationship of a brother and sister-in-law, she doesn’t feel that way.
Chaoyang’s hand gripping the steering wheel was bulging with veins, he was really very nervous. He kept praying in his heart, hoping not to be rejected. He’s already tasted the sweetness, and if he is truly rejected now, he guessed he couldn’t accept it.
He genuinely likes this girl, no, it should be love. From the first glance at her, he fell deeply for her.
There’s no denying that he likes her looks, after all, everyone has a love for beauty.
But knowing his situation, he’s just a poor boy from a village. What could he use to love her with, so he’s been suppressing himself.
At that time his idea was that he must be capable, only then he can pursue the girl he likes.
Gradually getting closer. He was completely conquered by her, although she is very cold and indifferent, yet in his eyes, everything seems good.
Finally gathered the courage, at that time his heart almost jumped out. Just afraid of being rejected.
This is also the reason he never dared to confess.
If it isn’t broken, they can still be friends. If he truly explains and gets rejected, then there really won’t be a future.
Although she didn’t agree, she didn’t reject either. This is his luck. At that time, he felt the world was full of beautiful fireworks, for the first time giving him a sense of satisfaction.
"Chaoyang, I can’t be like my sister-in-law to my brother."
"Jing Chu, you’re not someone whose emotions overflow. Everyone’s character is different, I won’t force you into anything. As long as you give me a chance, let me use such passionate feelings towards you."
"Won’t you feel it’s unfair? One day I’ll grow old. By then, my looks won’t be the same, will you still be like this?"
"Haha, Jing Chu. I admit at first, I was attracted by your looks. But afterwards, when we’re together, I realized I just like you, without any reason. No matter your good or bad, I like it."
Jing Chu turned to look at Chaoyang with a complex expression.
Cannot recall what he looked like when first met, but now his appearance is not unbearable to her.
But she likes the ease of being with him. There isn’t that kind of guardedness in her heart. She could freely chat about anything with him, and comfortably instruct him around.
This has never happened. Right, it never has before, any opposite-gender person around her she always viewed warily. Always thinking they might mean harm to her.
Aunt Jiang told her more than once, because of her looks she would face a lot of trouble in future, so she kept alert around all opposite-gender people. Except for Chaoyang was different, she trusted him.
"Chaoyang, won’t you change in the future?"
"I, Li Chaoyang, swear, will never change towards Lv Jingchu for a lifetime. Provide her a stable environment, give her the life she wants. Lifelong only be good to her, always put her first."
Jing Chu laughed, didn’t expect Chaoyang to say such words.
"I trust you this once, but only this once."
This made Chaoyang laugh. For the first time, Jing Chu discovered that Chaoyang’s smile was so warm and inclusive.
"Jing Chu, I’ll never let you have an opportunity to regret. Trust me. For you, for our future happy life, I’ll definitely strive."
Jing Chu nodded with a smile, if in this world, apart from her family elders, she only trusts Chaoyang.
Giving him a chance, also giving herself a chance.
Actually, she hasn’t had any thoughts of marriage or starting a family. But knowing this really won’t work. She also promised Aunt Jiang after turning twenty would definitely consider this matter.
Rather than randomly finding someone then, might as well choose Chaoyang to make herself more at ease. Knowing the roots and the bottom, and his character was recognized by family elders. This will do, she also has to try accepting him in the future.
"Jing Chu. When I get home, I’ll have my mom go to Uncle Lv to propose.
Let’s first engage, give me two years, I will definitely succeed. You wait for me to marry you."
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Chaoyang now wants to shout with excitement, wants everyone to know he is the happiest man.
"Jing Chu, I’ll definitely strive."
Jing Chu looked at the rambling, repeatedly making promises Chaoyang, the unease in her heart disappeared.
With a smile on her face. That smile dazzled Chaoyang.
"Drive carefully."
"I will definitely, because you’re on this car."
"Haha, why are you so eloquent today?"
"Jing Chu, those are my sincere words.
I won’t ever lie to you, believe me."
"Okay, I trust you."
Chaoyang got these words, just like owning the whole world.
The two arrived in the city, parked the car at home, then walked together to the building.
Jing Chu had a lot of things to buy, after all this is setting up a new home.
Today Xiang Dong is off, every day has been monotonous, he’s truly had enough, in the city he’s bought a small yard, now he’s slowly arranging this home.
Today he’s taking advantage of his time off, thinking of going to the building to buy some daily essentials, even if can’t live there now, he can prepare in advance.
He got out of the car and saw the two walking ahead and froze. "Chaoyang, Jingchu?"
Both turned back at the same time, still smiling. Xiang Dong felt dazzled seeing this.
He picked up his pace to catch up to them. "How come you’re here?"
Jing Chu reverted to her usual indifferent expression.
"We’re here to buy some daily necessities. What are you up to?" Chaoyang said with a smile.
Though he heard his mom saying bad things about Xiang Dong, after all, they grew up together.
"I bought a house in the city, coming after work to buy some daily essentials, we can just go together."
Chaoyang and Jing Chu both sensed Xiang Dong showing off but neither were fond of competing in such things so they said nothing.
"Jing Chu, you can find me to hang out when you come to the city."
"I won’t come to the city."
Xiang Dong was stumped, but understood that’s how Jing Chu is, so didn’t take it to heart.
Lately, Jing Chu has grown more and more disliking Xiang Dong, he’s no longer that honest young man.
She displayed her dislike notably. So throughout the walk, she kept a stern face. Chaoyang sensed this, thus held Jing Chu’s hand.
Xiang Dong didn’t even notice. "Chaoyang, how come you’re back? Are you going to the Capital again?"
"Yes, I will return next month."
"The capital is really boring, not as good as our hometown."
