"Indeed, top students are always popular, no matter the era!" Yang Chuxia sighed.
"I’m going to school tomorrow!" Ye Zi’an added another sentence. "I’ll be back in the evening!"
"Going out early and coming back late would be tiring," Yang Chuxia said, "You should just stay in the dormitory like Qingrui and the others, and come back once every few days, or I can go see you."
Speaking of this, Yang Chuxia continued, "If those two kids found out you’re going to school too, they’d be overjoyed."
"No problem, I won’t get tired!" Ye Zi’an responded, "I want to see Xiaxia every day."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but smile, "Brother An, I want to see you every day too." Who was she, Yang Chuxia? She wasn’t someone who would easily get shy; she was quite direct when it came to feelings, liking was liking, wanting to see was wanting to see. Sometimes, men also need sweet words to coax them.
You could tell by the curve of brother An’s lips.
The next day, after four or five years away from school, he finally returned.
As for Ye Zi’an, many teachers in the town’s school knew about him. After all, the nine-year-old Cultivated Talent had become famous throughout Wangquan Town back then, and people had even praised him as the youngest Recommended Man. That was because there was an exam in autumn the second year Ye Zi’an became a Cultivated Talent, but who would have thought that such an incident would happen later.
Ye Zi’an’s knowledge was widely acknowledged years ago, and even if he hadn’t entered school for several years, nobody would think he had regressed.
Therefore, when he entered the school, the teachers were all very happy to see him, and several of the teachers wanted him to study under them. They thought that since he was already a Cultivated Talent, re-taking the exams for the same title would be a piece of cake, right? By studying with them, he would definitely bring glory to them in the future, right?
But who had ever heard of a Cultivated Talent retaking the exam for the same title? It had to be said that some regulations in Great Zhou were really speechless.
Meanwhile, Ye Zi’an was very welcomed by the teachers in the school, and spent the whole day like the center of attention.
As for his little fiancée Yang Chuxia in Yangshu Village, her day was also bustling and lively.
Of course, she wasn’t the busy one; she had been watching a good show all day long, and even made a guest appearance.
Here is how it happened!
Ever since Old Lady Hua was drowned in the pond, Yang Da’an’s family had been keeping a very low profile, behaving as humble and discreet as they could.
As for Ms. Liu, although her character was still somewhat sharp as before, she was no longer so troublesome. Further, she had become industrious during the past six months, eager to earn money wherever there was an opportunity. As a result, the villagers had changed their opinion of their family.
Now, some busybodies started to intervene. Yang Da’an’s elder daughter, Yang Ruoqiu, was fifteen years old and had already reached adulthood. In this era, it was the right age to get married.
Before, no one had come to propose marriage to their family because of Old Lady Hua and Ms. Liu’s reputation. However, since Ms. Liu had changed, people in the village started to talk about wedding proposals for their family.
Today was the day when a family had made an appointment to come and propose marriage.
Early in the morning, Ms. Liu went to Yang Chuxia’s house to invite her family for dinner at the old house later. Initially, Ms. Wang didn’t want to go because she seemed to always bear a grudge towards Ms. Liu for poisoning Yang Chuxia. Finally, it was Yang Dachuan who said that since their own Xiaxia had an engagement, it wouldn’t be right to not attend their own child’s wedding proposal.
