Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 284 - 283: We’ll Talk About It When the Time Comes

Chapter 284: Chapter 283: We’ll Talk About It When the Time Comes

Lin Dong went to school, and Lin Xia started her classes at Yecheng University as well.

Lu Zheng followed Lin Xia to class, just like the Guardian of Flowers.

When Ji Man saw Lu Zheng coming in with Lin Xia, she was truly taken aback.

She couldn’t believe it and sized up Lu Zheng, not understanding what the relationship between the handsome man Lin Xia brought with her and herself was.

Lin Xia took Lu Zheng to sit in the empty seat behind Ji Man.

While the teacher hadn’t arrived yet, Ji Man still turned around, despite her suspicions, and asked Lin Xia, "Who is this?"

Lin Xia introduced them generously, "My boyfriend, Lu Zheng! Lu Zheng, this is my good friend Ji Man!"

"Hello!" Lu Zheng greeted her indifferently.

"Hello!" After they exchanged greetings, Ji Man became very curious about Lu Zheng.

She had always known that Lin Xia had no such feelings for Jiang Mingyuan, thinking there was someone in her heart; she wondered if this man might be the one Lin Xia was thinking of.

The teacher started the class, so Ji Man turned her head back.

With Lu Zheng’s appearance, he naturally attracted many people’s attention, including the teacher’s.

But as classes at Yecheng University were quite laid-back, the teacher pretended not to notice.

Lin Xia was earnestly taking notes. Although many came to Yecheng University just for the sake of obtaining a diploma, she truly wanted to learn more.

Lu Zheng had no interest in such a class; all his attention was on Lin Xia.

After class, Ji Man took Lin Xia’s arm and walked in front, the two of them chatting while they walked.

Lu Zheng carried the cloth bag containing Lin Xia’s books and stationery, following behind.

He knew that when girls got together, they definitely had some private matters to discuss, and as her boyfriend who had appeared so suddenly, anyone would be curious.

So, he intentionally lagged a few steps to give them space to talk.

After holding back for quite a while, Ji Man finally managed to say a few words to her, "Lin Xia! Isn’t this a bit too fast? When I last came to see you, you didn’t have a boyfriend!"

Other than Jiang Mingyuan, she really hadn’t seen the presence of any other man around Lin Xia.

How come she suddenly had a boyfriend now?

Unable to restrain her amusement, Lin Xia chuckled, "We just confirmed our relationship a couple of days ago! Here I took him to see you the moment I came to class!"

Not only Ji Man but Lin Xia herself hadn’t expected that she would become someone’s girlfriend so quickly, especially with Lu Zheng.

It was something she had never envisioned as being possible in her predictions.

But that’s life; some things are just so wonderful.

At a certain moment, it was as if she had suddenly let go of everything and agreed to be with him.

Afterwards, she didn’t have any regrets.

Ji Man laughed, "That’s more like it! Hey, he doesn’t seem to be from around here!"

"He’s from out of town!"

Considering that Lu Zheng was waiting under a nearby big tree, Ji Man asked softly, "So if you’re with him in the future, and you get married, wouldn’t you have to move out of town too?"

At the thought of Lin Xia possibly leaving to live elsewhere, Ji Man’s mood turned somewhat indescribable.

She considered Lin Xia a friend and, of course, wanted her to be happy.

However, given that Jiang Mingyuan had feelings for Lin Xia, she always couldn’t help but hope that Lin Xia would stay away from him.

"We’ll talk about that when the time comes!" Lin Xia couldn’t say for sure if she and he would ultimately marry.

Those things seem too distant right now; they had just started dating, and they needed to spend some time together. There were still many challenges they hadn’t faced, and getting to the step of marriage wasn’t going to be easy.

Ji Man didn’t ask about those things anymore. Instead, she asked about something she was more concerned with, "Has there been any news from Jiang Mingyuan recently?"

"I received a letter from Second Brother a while ago, but there hasn’t been any since then. He should be doing well!"

After Lin Xia parted with Ji Man, she and Lu Zheng walked home slowly along the straight avenue.

At that time, there weren’t many pedestrians on the road.

So Lu Zheng found the right moment and took Lin Xia’s hand.

Lin Xia looked somewhat embarrassed as she glanced around, but seeing that there really was no one around, she let him hold her hand boldly as they walked.

Lu Zheng slowed down to match Lin Xia’s pace and suddenly asked, "Does that girl like Jiang Mingyuan?"

Lin Xia looked at him with a smile, "How did you know?"

"I could tell from her expression when she asked you about Jiang Mingyuan!" In fact, Lu Zheng had also noticed from Lin Xia’s reaction, but he didn’t say so.

Lin Xia gently swayed their joined hands, "Ji Man is a good girl, and she really likes Second Brother! But Second Brother doesn’t have those feelings for her yet!"

Lu Zheng looked deeply into Lin Xia’s eyes with a faint smile. He knew that Jiang Mingyuan had feelings for Lin Xia, but even if he came back now, it would be too late―Lin Xia was already rightfully his, Lu Zheng’s, girlfriend!

The two of them walked and talked, and the conversation eventually turned to Lu Zheng’s vacation this time.

Lin Xia asked with concern, "Lu Zheng! You took time off but didn’t go home and instead came here, won’t your family mind?"

Lu Zheng spoke with conviction, "What’s there to mind? I came here for the sake of buying Lingzhi ― it’s official business!"

Only he himself knew that aside from his grandfather, the rest of his family would definitely mind once they found out he hadn’t gone to a friend’s place, and they would have big opinions about it.

However, who made his plan so meticulous and even had someone to cover for him, making the likelihood of being discovered extremely low.

Lin Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly as she teased him, "Oh? So you came here not for me, but for the sake of Lingzhi?"

Who decreed that only he could tease her? She could also return the favor and tease him!

"That was just an excuse! Silly girl! Of course, I came here for you!" Lu Zheng took the opportunity to ruffle her hair.

"Don’t call me silly!" Lin Xia retaliated by hitting his arm, but he didn’t feel any pain, whereas her own hand ended up aching.

Lu Zheng immediately took her hand with concern, inspecting it carefully, "Are you alright?"

Lin Xia complained, "Your bones are too hard!"

"My fault! Next time aim for a fleshier spot when you want to hit!"

Lin Xia found his response quite satisfying, her voice carrying tenderness, "Where should I hit?"

"Here!" Lu Zheng patted his chest.

Lin Xia was too shy for that, so she changed the subject, "Lu Zheng, how much longer can you stay?"

"About ten days!" Even though it was hard for Lu Zheng to leave, there was nothing he could do.

Unless he could come here and be with her every day.

"Oh!" A strange feeling crossed Lin Xia’s heart, but she understood that the constant meetings and separations of a long-distance relationship were an unavoidable norm.

Seeing Lin Xia fall silent, Lu Zheng looked down at her with an intense gaze, "Don’t you want me to leave?"

Lin Xia shook her head, "No! It’s not that! I just don’t want to face the goodbyes. But I know that there’s no avoiding it right now. I chose you, and I have to accept these things too!" She had thought it through clearly; a long-distance relationship must endure these trials.

Lu Zheng turned her to face him and looked at her earnestly, "Trust me! Xiaoxia! Once we get married in the future, we can always be together!"

He was helpless right now, but as long as they got married, and Lin Xia had arranged everything for her younger brother and sister to be completely reassured, they could often be together.
