LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 51 - I
Liu Fang contemplated the stagnation in his relationship and frowned in distress. Observing his demeanor, the two Amus sensed something was amiss, fearing there might be an undisclosed issue between the young couple.
Hua Amu and Xiu Amu exchanged glances, and Hua Amu cautiously inquired, “Fang Ge’er, what’s wrong? We can’t delay this matter; you’re both not getting any younger.”
Liu Fang shook his head, “It’s nothing. Xingzhi is still preparing for the exam, and besides, he’s not yet sixteen, so he’s still young!” He tried to explain as if nothing had happened.
However, the effect was not very convincing. While it might work in modern times, one wouldn’t obtain a certificate or had a date in their teens. Yet, in ancient times, with a shorter average lifespan, having children in their teenager years was considered normal.
Hua Amu glanced at Liu Fang and remarked, “You’re not too young. It’s normal to get married at fifteen or sixteen. Honestly, does the little scholar have other ideas?”
“No, no, no, it’s not him.”
Liu Fang quickly shook his head, realizing that the situation had become complicated.
If the little scholar truly didn’t want to marry Fang Ge’er, Liu Fang would be so upset that he might resort to violence. However, in this case of Jing Xingzhi, the two were seemingly destined to be together by chance.
“I want to wait until he finishes the exam so that he can study with peace of mind,” Liu Fang took the matter upon himself.
But for the Amus, not showing joy at the mention of marriage was already a significant issue. Hua Amu and Xiu Amu couldn’t pretend they didn’t see it. They couldn’t let their little shuanger, whom they had watched grow up, be confused in such important matters.
Xiu Amu remarked, “Getting married won’t affect your studies, right? The idea of getting married first and then starting a career has been around since ancient times. Moreover, people who get married are more stable, and their energy and focus will be different when they feel they have a burden.”
Liu Fang couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration as he listened to the two Amus reasoning in a very logical manner.
He wasn’t in a rush, but they were. Their anxiety and good intentions, fearing he might face a loss, suddenly sparked unlimited courage in Liu Fang.
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell him when I get back,” Liu Fang said with a soft smile.
His mood was different from usual, recognizing that even if the outcome wasn’t ideal, he had gained relatives and elders more important than blood relations. It felt like being a floating duckweed with roots.
Hua Amu shook his head. “No, how can you say anything about this? Good child; aren’t you ashamed?” he said, raising his hand to scratch the bridge of his nose.
Not seeing Jing Xingzhi at the moment, Liu Fang didn’t feel ashamed. He carefully considered what he wanted to say, and his face gradually turned red, resembling a young girl just starting to fall in love.
Despite dominating the industry and achieving success, Liu Fang, in his twenties, was still a young man with limited emotional experience. His cautiousness stemmed from past childhood experiences, making him hesitant to make a move toward his sweetheart. The fear of potential gains and losses kept him awake at night.
After a few words, the two Amus decided to return with Liu Fang the next day, and Liu Fang found himself with no words to refuse.
But Liu Fang had also made up his mind; he would be the one to speak first.
.
Jing Xing thought about the three words ‘I, Liu Fang, and get married’ for a long time.
Liu Fang was now a shuanger, his wife in name and in the household registration. In everyone’s eyes, they were a couple.
Jing Xingzhi recalled in his mind what Liu Fang had done after traveling with him and found that Liu Fang was truly ‘virtuous’ doing everything a housekeeper would do.
Jing Xingzhi dealt with the old affairs of the little scholar and defeated all current enemies, including the disgusting couple, Zhu Da, Zhang Kaiwei, and others. He also wiped out the evil forces in the county and worshipped Fang Qichen as his teacher, ensuring their future stability.
Looking at the hatchbacks, one facing the outside and the other facing the inside, they were perfectly configured.
But when it came to getting married… Jing Xingzhi never thought about it.
He was single in modern times and felt particularly happy being single. He concentrated on practicing and increasing his strength. Now, after operating in ancient times for a while, life had returned to calm. For Jing Xingzhi, such a stable state was good, and he just needed to move in a positive direction step by step.
But… getting married to Liu Fang seemed to be a good idea. After all, Liu Fang… was often very cute. Last time, he was angry and even forgot to eat, just like a child.
Except for the strange feeling of coveting his brother that he couldn’t get rid of.
“Ah…” Jing Xingzhi held his head, raised his head, and asked in distress, “Brother Mingrui, what do you think of the relationship between me and Fang Ge’er?”
What beat Jing Xingzhi’s heart was his new thought.
—He could get married to Liu Fang!
