Chapter 250: How About A Sudden Hug and A Kiss?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Jingzhe was wondering what to say when Ji Buwang raised his hand. “Alright, I know even if you don’t say it. It’s not appropriate for the time being.”
“Yes.” Mu Jingzhe nodded.
“I understand, but it’s true that your attitude toward him has changed, right?” Ji Buwang hit the nail on the head.
Mu Jingzhe nodded and didn’t try to escape. “Indeed.”
However, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t fallen in love with Shao Qihai or decided not to get a divorce. Just like if she really got a divorce, she might not necessarily get together with Ji Buwang.
.
Until now, she hadn’t felt the need to get a divorce and be with Ji Buwang.
Mu Jingzhe had read many books and watched many television dramas in the past. She felt that she knew a lot about relationships, but in reality, that didn’t seem to be the case.
Reality wasn’t like television dramas, where a couple would be lovey-dovey every day and only have to occasionally deal with some small misunderstandings and troubles. In the real world, 90% of her time was occupied by many other things, and she didn’t even have any time to sleep in the remaining 10%.
She was kept busy by work and the five children. For example, she’d even had to deal with Shao Qiyun previously. Although she lived in the same house as Shao Qihai, she didn’t even have ten minutes to pay attention to him, let alone think about relationships.
Every day, she would only think of Ji Buwang when she saw the set of dolls in the room, but even then, it was only for a brief moment. She had been so busy these days that she hadn’t even had the time to unlock the secret of the doll.
She had considered dating a long time ago, but dating required time.
In short, she was too busy to think about men.
Perhaps when she had time and money, she would think about it more clearly. But who knew? Maybe, in the end, she might divorce Shao Qihai and still not get together with Ji Buwang. Perhaps she would be single.
Other people could encounter earth-shattering feelings and find undying love when they transmigrated, but she felt that something was lacking. This was different from the transmigration and rebirth stories she had read.
After all that trouble, before she’d transmigrated, she had only focused on her career. After transmigrating, other than raising the five children, she’d still mainly focused on her career.
She was really unqualified and a disappointment to her status as a transmigrator.
Mu Jingzhe didn’t know how to express her thoughts. “Um, Ji Buwang, I think that if you’re waiting for me, then you really…”
“Alright, I understand.” Ji Buwang raised his hand to ask for a pause. “I know what you want to say. You don’t have to finish.”
Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe. “To be honest, there are very few people like you among the people I know, other than some men when they’re striving to build their careers.”
Even when other girls were career-oriented and attached great importance to their work, it was rare for them to not take something as important as their marriage seriously.
“Looks like I didn’t perform well enough and wasn’t charming enough.” Ji Buwang stroked his chin. “I didn’t display enough charm to give you the impulse to immediately divorce him and get together with me.”
“No, no, you’re very charming. To be honest, other than the men in television and movies, you’re the most handsome and charismatic person I know. You’re like someone who walked out of a movie. I am the problem.”
“Is it really okay for you to say that you have a problem?” These words were like a tongue twister, and Ji Buwang even chuckled after saying that.
Mu Jingzhe laughed as well. Ji Buwang looked at her and started discussing this seriously. “Why do you think you’re like this? Do I need to be more aggressive to make your heart beat faster or flutter or something?”
After saying that, he suddenly asked, “If I suddenly hug and kiss you particularly passionately, like people do in novels, will you waver?”
Mu Jingzhe: “Uh, this…”
She tried imagining it, but she couldn’t quite do it because Ji Buwang didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
Ji Buwang imagined it for a moment, and his expression froze, as the scene wasn’t exactly wonderful. “I think that if I really did that, I might be sent flying and get severely injured by you the moment I hugged you.” There was no chance of a kiss happening.
These words made Mu Jingzhe ponder it. “Could my biggest problem be my strength? Would it be better if I pretended to be an ordinary woman in the future?”
Ji Buwang shook his head. “It might not work either. In the novels, the female lead’s heart would flutter in such a situation, while you would feel conflicted about beating the guy up. There’s no chance your heart would flutter.”
Mu Jingzhe had to admit that it was true.
Seeing that Mu Jingzhe’s brows were almost furrowed, Ji Buwang couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Stop thinking about it. If you’re busy, go ahead. I’m actually quite busy too. I’m taking time out of my busy schedule every time I come to the school.”
Although he had left many things to Tang Moling, making him so busy that he didn’t have time to look for Mu Jingzhe, there were many matters that required his attention. He actually understood how Mu Jingzhe was feeling.
“Then will you have time to continue coming to school in the future? If you’re very busy, you don’t have to force yourself. I can find another teacher for Xiao Wu.”
“It’s fine for now. I’ll tell you if I’m really busy. We’ll talk about it after Xiao Wu’s problem is solved.”
“Alright, I’ll spend more time with him and chat with him during this period. Let’s see if we can detect the underlying problem.”
After Mu Jingzhe bade Ji Buwang farewell, she still got busy doing many other things. She only returned at night and discussed Xiao Wu’s problem with Shao Dong and Shao Qihai.
“I’ll observe more too,” Shao Dong said solemnly. “But Xiao Wu relies on you more.”
“I know. I’ll take him to the art school in the future. I know how to drive too.” Mu Jingzhe turned around and asked Shao Qihai, “Do you mind if I drive your car?”
“Of course I don’t, but… when did you learn to drive? Do you have a driver’s license?”
“I learned by chance when you died. I’m quite familiar with driving, but I don’t have a driver’s license. Is it easy to get a driver’s license now?”
Shao Qihai said honestly, “It’s not.”
Mu Jingzhe nodded. “Do you have a driver’s license? How long did it take you to pass the exam?”
“I do. I took the exam before I retired from the army. It was different from your situation.”
Mu Jingzhe thought of the god-like driving videos of soldiers she had seen in modern times and nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed different. It should be easier to take the exam outside. Let me ask around and try to get it within a month.”
Mu Jingzhe thought that since she was an experienced driver, it should be no problem for her to get a driver’s license in a month. When Shao Qihai heard her words, he wanted to say something but hesitated. “Within a month? That might be a little difficult.”
“You don’t believe in my skills?” Mu Jingzhe frowned. No matter what, she was an experienced driver. She should be able to get a driver’s license.
Men weren’t the only ones who felt annoyed when someone doubted their driving skills. Women felt the same way.
Shao Qihai could tell that Mu Jingzhe wasn’t very pleased, so he quickly shook his head. “No, no. I’ll go get the book you want right now.” In order to show his support, Shao Qihai immediately stood up to retrieve the book.
In the modern era, one also had to take a theory test when applying for a driver’s license. When Mu Jingzhe heard that she needed to read a book, she knew that it was a book on driving theory. She enthusiastically urged him. “Hurry up and get it.”
She wanted to see how it differed from modern ones. She guessed that it might be a little different, but it probably wouldn’t be much different.
Mu Jingzhe was filled with confidence. Then, she saw Shao Qihai bring in a very thick book.
