Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chang Fei’s expression froze upon hearing this.

His first reaction was, has Chang Jiujiu found out something and is rejecting him?

After all, given his current situation, in the eyes of outsiders, if he really ended up with Chang Jiujiu, it would be considered climbing high.

But he took a closer look at Chang Jiujiu; this sister’s gaze remained as clear as ever, without a hint of gloom.

Chang Fei was relieved.

It seemed, perhaps Jiujiu had grown older and started to understand the separation between the sexes.

Yet, the relationship between the two of them...

Chang Fei frowned and said, "Jiujiu, you and I grew up together, and our affection is no less than that of biological siblings. Outsiders won’t say anything about it."

Gu Shengyin’s eyebrows lowered, hiding the coldness in her eyes.

Outsiders won’t say anything?

In this world, society is harsh on women; if she and Chang Fei ended up together it would be fine, but if not, the intimacy shared over the years would become the talk of others.

These matters naturally wouldn’t affect Chang Fei.

But for Chang Jiujiu, it would be an indelible stain on her reputation.

Did Chang Fei not understand these things?

Or does he now believe that Chang Jiujiu is certainly his in the future?

Gu Shengyin looked up at him and said, "I may not be as well-read as Elder Brother, but I also understand that even siblings have rules of separation after age seven. Elder Brother, you are about to take the provincial examination; it is best to pay attention to your reputation."

She knew what was truly important to Chang Fei.

Sure enough, when it came to the provincial examination, Chang Fei’s expression immediately changed.

He hurriedly said, "Sister Jiu is absolutely right, it was careless of me."

Gu Shengyin gave him a smile and said no more, stepping towards her father Chang Gensheng’s main house.

Chang Fei stood behind, staring at her departing figure with a somewhat dazed look.

Recalling just now Jiujiu’s lotus-like face, Chang Fei felt even more stirred.

He hadn’t realized that unknowingly, the little girl who followed him calling him brother had turned out so excellently.

Thinking that such a beautiful lady would be his future wife, Chang Fei couldn’t help but feel a rush of heat in his heart.

Of course, Gu Shengyin sensed Chang Fei’s gaze behind her.

She discreetly furrowed her eyebrows, feeling disgusted.

With the system present, Chang Fei’s private little gestures were all revealed in front of Gu Shengyin.

For example, Chang Fei was fairly popular among the girls in town; he was considered well-read, and in the eyes of outsiders, as the son of the affluent Chang Family, he was a rare choice for an ideal husband.

Chang Fei often received shy and reserved smiles from girls, and occasionally when walking around, he would be offered a steaming bowl of tea, along with a fragrant handkerchief from tea maids.

And Chang Fei, having guessed at his relationship with Chang Jiujiu, didn’t shy away from such matters, and even quite enjoyed it.

Gu Shengyin had no doubt that even without the events of the original plot, even if Chang Fei married Chang Jiujiu, he would not be a good match.

Thinking this way, Gu Shengyin arrived outside her father’s house.

Chang Gensheng was checking account books.

He ran a small garment shop in the town; the business was neither good nor bad, but it was enough to support the family.

Seeing his daughter arrive, Chang Gensheng looked up and put down the ledger.

"Does Jiujiu have something to discuss?" he asked, smiling.
