Fortunately, it didn’t snow today and there was no wind. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to eat a single bite.

Lin Qingqian’s fair hand blocked in front of his bowl, afraid that the wind would blow something unclean into his bowl.

How could Jiang Yanshen not see through her thoughts? He lowered his head with a smile on his thin lips and placed a piece in her bowl. “You eat too.”

Lin Qingqian quickly put it in her mouth and continued to reach out to help him cover his bowl…

“Alright, eat by yourself.” Jiang Yanshen took her hand away. If he really cared about this, he wouldn’t have sat down.

Seeing that he really did not care, Lin Qingqian was relieved and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

On one end of the table, the couple was sweet. On the other side, Lin Chaoyan’s face was dark as she ate like she was chewing wax.

The big sister at the side persuaded, “No matter what, it’s fine as long as the children are doing well. Look at how good they are!”

When Lin Chaoyan saw Jiang Yanshen, she was furious. She slammed her chopsticks on the table. ‘What’s good about him? Bastard! ”

She was so angry that she could not eat, so she simply stood up and left.

Lin Qingqian glanced at her back view from the corner of her eye, and her eyes instantly dimmed.

Jiang Yanshen calmly took in her expression and remained silent.

The weather was cold, so everyone quickly finished their food and dispersed after drinking.

Lin Qingqian was worried about Lin Chaoyan and went to look for her, so Jiang Yanshen accompanied her.

Now that Lin Chaoyan already knew, Lin Qingqian did not deliberately let Jiang

Yanshen avoid her. There were some things that had to be made clear in person.

Lin Chaoyan was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden. Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve. Even if there was an earthquake, they still had to celebrate the new year. A few mud houses in the village had collapsed from the earthquake, and the preserved vegetables were gone. She planted a lot of vegetables and distributed some to each family.

Lin Qingqian walked forward and said softly, “Auntie, I’ll help you.”

Lin Chaoyan did not look up, as if she had not heard anything.

Just as Lin Qingqian was about to bend down, she was pulled back by Jiang

Yanshen. When she turned to look at him in confusion, she heard Jiang Yanshen’s low voice. “Auntie, I couldn’t handle this matter properly. If you’re angry, vent it on me. Qianqian is filial to you. She’s very sad that you’re like this.”

His low and hoarse voice carried the humble attitude of a junior. Other than Grandma, Lin Qingqian had never seen him speak to anyone like this.

Lin Chaoyan stopped what she was doing and looked up at him with a sneer. “Director Jiang, you must be joking. How would a village woman like me dare to behave atrociously in front of you!”

Jiang Yanshen was not angered by the sarcasm in her words. He continued in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, “It was my fault in the past, causing

Qianqian to suffer a lot. Qianqian indeed never thought of remarrying me. From the beginning to the end, I was the one who pestered her in every way, coercing and tempting her. She’s soft-hearted and a weak girl, so she naturally can’t resist my advances.”

Surprise flashed across Lin Qingqian’s eyes. She reached out and pulled his sleeve, indicating for him not to say such things.

Little Auntie already had a problem with him. If he said this, wouldn’t it add fuel to the fire and make her have an even greater problem with him?

Jiang Yanshen turned his head and gave her a look to indicate that it was fine. He continued, “Auntie, it’s my fault. I hope you can give me another chance. I’ll definitely treat Qianqian well in the future.”

“Heh!” Lin Chaoyan sneered and smashed the cabbage in her hand onto the snow. She mocked, “You also know that it’s your fault. Although our Lin family isn’t a big family, this girl has been raised in the palm of the Old Master since she was young. What has she become in your Jiang family?”

“A servant?” The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She said angrily, “If you want me to give you a chance, sure. Go and ask the Old Master. As long as he’s willing to give you another chance, I won’t say anything.”

“Auntie!” Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you making things difficult for us? Grandpa has already passed away for so long…”

“Alright.” Jiang Yanshen agreed immediately.

Lin Qingqian was stunned and looked up at him in surprise. What did he just say?

Lin Chaoyan was also stunned. She reacted and said, “As long as Old Master forgives you and is willing to give you a chance, I’ll agree to the two of you being together.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded without any hesitation. “Alright, as long as I do it, I hope Auntie will keep your word.”

“Don’t worry. Although I haven’t read much, I still understand the principle of a promise,” Lin Chaoyan said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Yanshen turned around and left. Lin Qingqian followed and grabbed his hand. “Where are you going? Grandpa is already dead. How can he answer your question?”

Jiang Yanshen’s warm palm caressed her face and pushed her hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ears. His thin lips moved. “It’s cold outside. Go to the tent and wait for me.”

“But—”

“Be good!” Jiang Yanshen interrupted her. In this cold world that was covered with snow, his eyes burned. “Trust me, okay?”

Lin Qingqian bit her lips and nodded slowly.

Jiang Yanshen smiled faintly and pushed her shoulder with his palm. “Go.”

Lin Qingqian turned around and looked back three times with every step. Jiang Yanshen stood at the same spot and looked at her. His thin lips were curled into a smile, and his eyes were as warm as the only warmth in this snowy day.

In the end, Lin Qingqian returned to the simple tent. She was thinking about Jiang Yanshen, so she was distracted.

The others outside were still busy. Some were building an open-air clay stove, and some were busy with tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lin Qingqian didn’t see Jiang Yanshen the entire afternoon. It was only when the sky gradually darkened and the temperature became lower and lower that she couldn’t help but look for him.

However, after searching around the village, she could not find him. When she bumped into Lu Yuan, she asked casually.

Lu Yuan’s expression was a little hesitant, and his eyes flickered.

“Where exactly is he?” Lin Qingqian’s heart burned with anxiety when she could not find him, and her voice became colder and sharper.

Although Director Jiang had strictly forbidden him to say it, he felt that Madam still had to know.

“Director Jiang knelt in front of Old Master Lin’s grave all afternoon and is still kneeling now…”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian turned around and ran up the mountain.

How could such a smart person like him be so stupid?

Her grandfather had already passed away. Even if he knelt until his knees were broken, it was impossible for his grandfather to crawl out of the coffin and say a word to him.

The snow was too heavy, and with the earthquake, almost no one went up the mountain. Only a few lines of footprints were left by Jiang Yanshen and Lu

Yuan.

The snow that Lin Qingqian stepped on could reach her calves. She ran all the way to the mountainside without caring about anything. She was so tired that she was panting and her body was covered in sweat, but she still did not dare to stop.

It was as if there was a sense of faith that made her tireless and fearless as she ran halfway up the mountain.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and her vision was getting worse. Lin Qingqian finally arrived halfway up the mountain with difficulty and saw a person kneeling in front of her grandfather’s tombstone from afar.

In this snowy sky, he knelt upright and meticulously, looking dignified and strict.

Lin Qingqian panted, and the breath she exhaled fogged her vision. When she saw his pale face and dry lips, her heart ached so much that her tears almost fell.

When Jiang Yanshen heard footsteps, he turned around and saw her. A hint of helplessness flashed across his black eyes. “Why are you coming up?”

Lin Qingqian walked over and squatted down in front of him. She secretly gulped a few times before barely saying, “Why did your IQplummet after your EQwent online?”

As soon as she opened his mouth, her voice choked. Her gaze landed on his knees. Without any protection, his clothes were already soaked in snow. Jiang Yanshen didn’t reply and said gently, “Go back and rest.”

Lin Qingqian reached out to help him up, but Jiang Yanshen held her hand and pushed her away.

The cold fingertips made Lin Qingqian’s heart tighten. She grabbed his hand and wrapped it in her hand. She exhaled hot air, wanting to help warm his hand.

Jiang Yanshen pulled his hand out with great effort and said in a hoarse voice,

“It’s getting dark. Go back quickly.”

“I won’t go back even if you don’t. If you want to kneel, I’ll kneel with you.”

There was stubbornness in her light voice. She turned around and wanted to Imeel down in front of her grandfather’s tombstone.

Jiang Yanshen hurriedly grabbed her arm. “Qianqian, be good and stop making a fuss.”

“Why do you think I’m making a fuss?” Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her clear eyes filled with disappointment.

“Ah Yan, love and marriage are mutual. I don’t need your sacrifice. What I want is for us to face any difficulties together, not for you to stand in front of me.

If I just stand behind you and wait for you to resolve everything and love me, what’s the difference between this and us in the beginning?”

There had to be a response to love.

Jiang Yanshen’s long eyelashes trembled a few times, and his throat kept tightening. His stiff fingers landed on her small face, and his voice was slightly hoarse. “Why?”

“Huh?” Lin Qingqian blinked, not understanding what he meant for a moment.

“Why didn’t you teach me love earlier? I wasted seven years.” His low and hoarse voice was filled with endless disappointment and regret.

If the first person you saw eight years ago was me, if you had taught me what love was earlier…

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s not too late now. We still have many more seven years in the future.”

The sky was dark and there was no light in the surroundings. Although they were very close, Lin Qingqian did not notice the fleeting loneliness in his eyes.

His fingertips rubbed her cheek, and his black eyes that were staring at her became even hotter. He was moved and his handsome face could not help but lean in front of her.

Lin Qingqian realized something and blinked. For a moment, she fell into a dilemma.

Should she dodge or not?

She was afraid that avoiding him would hurt his heart, but she should avoid doing this in front of her grandfather… It wasn’t good.

Just as she was struggling, a cough suddenly sounded, interrupting the peace and ambiguity.

The two of them looked over at the same time and saw Lin Chaoyan standing not far away and Lu Yuan coughing.

Lin Chaoyan said with a dark expression, “Shameless. Don’t disturb Old Master’s peace. Get lost.”

After saying this fiercely, she turned around and left the mountain.

Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief and held his arm with her slender fingers, revealing a smile. “Ah Yan, Auntie called us home.”

Jiang Yanshen’s dry lips held a smile as he hummed faintly. When he was about to get up, because his legs had been kneeling in the snow for too long, he completely lost his senses. His entire body fell again..
