Chapter 314: This Is My Boyfriend

In life and death, the one left behind is the one who suffers the most.

She is selfish, she cannot bear it, cannot bear to watch her closest kin and loved ones leave her one by one.

Although she knows in her heart that in less than a few decades, they can be reunited in another place.

"Fine," Jiang Cheng gripped her hand, "I promise you, I will die after you."

Since she married him as his wife, he must, in this lifetime, hold up his body to settle everything properly for her.

Jiang Cheng does not feel at ease leaving her affairs to anyone else.

"The winter break really went by fast!" Jiang Cheng looked at the empty courtyard, with only the two of them left.

When those two children were at home, the house was always lively.

"Yes, the next time they come back will be summer break," Si Rong frowned and suddenly remembered, "By the way, I asked you to talk to that child Si Nian, did you talk to him?"

Although she knows her son has a sense of propriety and shouldn't do anything reckless to Jiang Yue.

But there are variables in all things before the dust settles; although those two children are dating, Jiang Yue is a girl, and she would naturally be at a disadvantage if they were to have relations prematurely.

"I talked to him," Jiang Cheng is very reassured about his son, "The boy knows the weight of things, and besides, Si Yu is still living with them."

Si Rong's brow still had not smoothed out, "Si Nian is at least settled, but what about Juzi?"

"She has only just started university; our Juzi is so outstanding, are you worried she won't find a boyfriend?"

"She seems to have that boy from the Fu family in her heart, and although Wan Fang is a good person," Si Rong said worriedly, "those two stepbrothers of his are not good things."

Wan Fang often talks to her on the phone and occasionally sends over some foreign delicacies.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings," Jiang Cheng patted her hand, "Their path is one they must walk themselves in the end; we just need to take care of ourselves."

"Old woman! Let's go plant vegetables! We can eat them when autumn comes!"

After getting on in years, the two of them grew fond of planting vegetables and specifically left half of the garden for it.

Planting some leaf lettuce, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, and green beans, they don't need to buy vegetables all year round.

Tending the vegetable garden personally has a special charm; Si Rong feels that planting vegetables is like raising children.

But it is better than raising children; at least when they grow up, they are eaten into their stomachs and won't leave them.

She told her insights to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng:...

After school started, back in the rented house, Jiang Siyu often felt that her brother was like a lightbulb, and a super bright one at that.

Her brother seemed like a different person, different from when he was with Bai Mo before.

He seemed to have become a bit more childish, or perhaps he had always been this childish and stupid, actually vainly attempting to compete with her for her position in Jiang Yue's heart.

Heh~ truly overestimating himself!

Jiang Siyu is very confident that she will win; after all, she has been inseparable from Jiang Yue since she was very small.

What right does that stinky guy Jiang Sinian have to compete with her?

The way the siblings compete is by fighting over things.

For example, the only apple in the house, both saying they want to eat it at the same time.

Jiang Yue glanced at the two of them, then decisively went to the kitchen and used a knife to cut the apple into two halves.

But the half handed to Jiang Siyu was clearly larger.

Jiang Siyu immediately became smug.

If she were a man, where would there be any room for her brother?

"That doesn't count," Jiang Sinian said, unconvinced, "Let's compete again!"

This time he specifically found something that couldn't be cut into two halves: a pine nut.

And it was a single pine nut.

"I want to eat it!"

"I want to eat it too!"

Jiang Yue looked at the one tiny pine nut on the coffee table being fought over by the two siblings:...

"Is there only one left in the house?" She was somewhat speechless.

"Yes," Jiang Sinian answered with great certainty, then looked at Jiang Yue with great anticipation.

Watching the moment Jiang Yue peeled that pine nut and stuffed it into Jiang Siyu's mouth, Jiang Sinian felt he had been hurt by love.

However, no one noticed that Jiang Yue even scolded him, "You want to fight with Juzi over this too?"

"What is wrong with you these past few days?"

Jiang Sinian:...

He was mad, he was unhappy.

But that afternoon, Jiang Yue bought a big bag of pine nuts and even peeled one for him by hand.

It seems she does care about him after all.

Forget it, forget it, he is not that kind of petty man.

Soon, Jiang Sinian was coaxed into a good mood by himself.

They continued to live their lively life of going to school during the day and bickering at home at night.

The first thing Bai Mo did upon returning to school was to find a boyfriend.

She wanted to make Jiang Sinian regret it, to let Jiang Sinian know that she wasn't without suitors besides him.

But she didn't fancy boys with average conditions, though there were one or two in the class chasing her.

One wore jeans with frayed hems, and the other looked very unpresentable.

She had no choice but to continue searching.

Very quickly, Bai Mo noticed a boy named Xiao Hang.

He was tall and clean-cut, and most importantly, although he dressed modestly, the watch on his wrist was not something an ordinary student could afford.

She consciously approached that boy, and after a few encounters, Xiao Hang was also attracted to this considerate and kind girl.

The two of them officially established a romantic relationship.

But he was not in the Artificial Intelligence major; he was studying Computer Science.

His class schedule was different from Bai Mo's.

Bai Mo also learned from the lesson of her falling out with Jiang Sinian previously; she no longer made so many demands, only acting spoiled to ask Xiao Hang to pick her up after class when he was free.

She wanted to let Jiang Sinian see her showing affection with another boy, and she wanted Jiang Sinian to feel the heartache she once felt.

But several times in a row, whether it was too much of a coincidence or not, by the time Xiao Hang came to pick her up, Jiang Sinian and Jiang Yue had already left early.

Bai Mo felt that this relationship was not very interesting, and she became angry.

Xiao Hang coaxed her for a long time and even went outside the school to buy her a few lipsticks before she was finally coaxed into a good mood.

Furthermore, he promised to pick her up after school on time next time.

Finally, Xiao Hang was on time for once, and Bai Mo seized the opportunity to link her arm with Xiao Hang's in front of Jiang Sinian and Jiang Yue.

"Honey, thank you for coming to pick me up!"

She kissed Xiao Hang on the cheek, while her peripheral vision observed Jiang Sinian's expression.

To her disappointment, Jiang Sinian showed no signs of jealousy; he didn't know what he said to Jiang Yue, but the two of them still had faint smiles on their faces.

Bai Mo linked Xiao Hang and walked up to them, "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Xiao Hang."

Xiao Hang assumed these two were Bai Mo's friends and very enthusiastically reached out his hand, "Hello, I am Xiao Hang."

What was embarrassing was that no one shook his hand.

Jiang Sinian didn't have the slightest bit of grace and only said, "We don't know her."

Then he pulled Jiang Yue away.

Bai Mo felt embarrassed for quite a while; she hadn't expected that after being with Jiang Yue, Jiang Sinian would actually become so impolite.

Truly, one is influenced by those one associates with.

"They really have no class," Xiao Hang said, looking at Jiang Sinian's back with some displeasure, "Regardless, we are all classmates; Bai Mo, don't be so kind in the future."

Bai Mo nestled into his embrace.

She completely failed to notice that a cold and terrifying gaze was staring at them from outside the window—or to be precise, staring only at her.
