Chapter 330: Chapter 240: Hua Jun Gets Married

For example, if you are full, standing for half an hour makes it difficult to gain weight. She has never seen Jian Zhiqing sitting while eating; he usually takes Conghua out, walking both people and the dog. Thus, he maintains a good figure, while Conghua is getting more and more fit.

She also wanted to stand up, but she had eaten too much and felt uncomfortable, so sitting felt better.

She felt that she had decayed. In her last life, she had never been fat, as she couldn’t even eat enough; how could she gain extra weight? So, until she died, she remained thin, barely any bones, unlike now, when she couldn’t even manage a walk without leaning against the wall.

Jian Zhiqing walked over and sat down.

"What’s wrong, ate too much?"

That phrase "ate too much" really hurt Qin Xiangnuan; it wasn’t just that she ate too much, but rather way too much.

"Let’s go outside, walk with Brother Jian," Jian Zhiqing stood up again and started walking towards the door.

Qin Xiangnuan hesitated, whether to go out or not, whether to stand up or continue lying down, whether to follow him to aid digestion—eventually, she stood up to aid her digestion, press the road, or perhaps, it was a small date. Of course, she wouldn’t think that way, but the idea flashed through her mind briefly before completely dissipating.

She wasn’t young; it wasn’t suitable for her to be in a relationship.

"Come here, let me check your head."

Jian Zhiqing stopped, reached out his hand to Qin Xiangnuan, and she obediently walked over and stood in front of him. She didn’t check it every day herself, because it hurt to look at it each time, and she had to face the possibility of balding. Lately, she hadn’t looked in the mirror much, not knowing how it was now, but it had stopped hurting. Sometimes she touched it and could feel it scabbing over; she had started applying the medicine from the system, and now, she could even imagine the ferocious look of the wound.

It had been stitched and scabbed, which must be quite nasty.

She didn’t need to bow her head for Jian Zhiqing to see the injury on her head clearly, given his height advantage. He served her from such a height; currently, she only reached his chin. How many centimeters was that difference? Comparisons can be so embarrassing.

Jian Zhiqing didn’t mind much, as he had never loathed Qin Xiangnuan. He always thought she was fragile and delicate, always tender, a cute girl indeed.

He parted Qin Xiangnuan’s hair on both sides, short like a boy’s, but fortunately, she had a naturally soft and delicate face, still a bit baby-faced, so even bald, she looked like a tender young girl.

The stitches on her head had been removed, and so far, the wound had healed well, but it was still somewhat frightening.

He sighed and then properly tidied up her hair.

"There might be some scars left, such a big injury, it’s normal to have scars."

Oh, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t feel much about it, she had scar removal medicine, but the pitying look from Jian Zhiqing made her quite heartbroken.

"It’s okay," Jian Zhiqing stroked her head again, "Brother Jian doesn’t dislike you. He doesn’t mind your height, your flat chest, or your scars."

Qin Xiangnuan was startled. Was this...

a confession?

She instinctively reached to tuck the hair behind her ear, only to realize, subconsciously, that she no longer had long hair; in fact, it was as short as it could be. People who knew her well understood that such actions were driven by her nervousness and bewilderment.

And among those who knew her well was Jian Zhiqing, outwardly cold but sly and cunning inside. Fortunately, Jian Zhiqing never harbored any ill intentions, or else Qin Xiangnuan, cloaked in the skin of an innocent rabbit, wouldn’t know what state she’d be devoured into.

Ah, Brother Jian, I just remembered, I still have homework to do, I need to go back, she blurted out these words, then turned around and walked in the direction of her home. Her steps were a bit chaotic, her pace a bit heavy, and of course, fast.

Behind her, she could still hear Jian Zhiqing’s teasing voice.

"Coward."

Qin Xiangnuan’s steps halted for a moment.

Fine, let her be a coward. She admitted she was timid. After all, she was still young. Even if she was timid, what could it change? They had been together for so long, sharing meals, living together, even going through so much together. There were some things she didn’t want to delve into deeply, otherwise, things wouldn’t remain this simple.

She preferred simplicity, though her life was filled with complexities. Just this once, what could it hurt to indulge in a bit of selfishness and willfulness? That was just the way it was.

Jian Zhiqing didn’t bring up what had just happened, as if nothing had occurred.

The dynamic between the two was quite delicate; they were just one step away from breaking through that barrier. It was obvious to anyone with eyes, but Qin Xiangnuan stubbornly refused to acknowledge it. It wasn’t that she disliked him; she just hadn’t made up her mind yet. Knowing this, Jian Zhiqing was wise enough to keep silent.

Sometimes, Qin Xiangnuan felt quite awkward, but she still had to face it boldly—her skin had indeed grown thick over time.

Their relationship was somewhat strange but naturally had developed since their familiarity exceeded friendship from their childhood.

Originally, Granny Lu was supposed to come over at the beginning of spring, but it was delayed by a few days because Granny Hua was constructing a house. Recently, as Jian Zhiqing mentioned, there wasn’t much going on at the military academy. So, Qin Xiangyang went to help, becoming a laborer once again along with Uncle Hua’s assistance. The house was quickly completed. After the house was built, someone arranged a potential marriage for Hua Jun, but seriously, who would willingly marry an idiot?

Those who spoke to Hua Jun were mainly families selling their daughters, from a neighboring village overcrowded with daughters, several of whom had been given away. The households had many mouths none but scarce grain and always struggled to make ends meet—they were poor.

With male children needing education and many mouths to feed, the family had no choice. Somehow, they learned about Hua Jun. Although Hua Jun was simple-minded, he was harmless, never violent or abusive, just a bit slow. But now that they had a new house, it would generate income through renting. Moreover, Granny Hua had some money, and there were no other relatives around, just Granny Hua. Eventually, the household would be hers to run.

The most important thing was that marrying off would secure a sum of money, enough for the family’s expenses.

The girl was vehemently against it, crying and making a scene, but ultimately she resigned to her fate. Granny Hua was initially reluctant, feeling it slightly immoral—akin to buying someone’s daughter. But in the end, she had to harden her heart, for what normal girl would willingly marry her simple grandson?
