My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 315: The One Who’s Crying Isn’t Me

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: The One Who’s Crying Isn’t Me

A man, a newly-married one still carrying a grudge at that.

The burning intensity in his eyes was somewhat frightening.

Chuxia chose to directly ask the moment she noticed.

Beihuai coughed softly, suppressing his cunning thoughts.

"Do you want to study Chinese Language and Literature?"

Beihuai suddenly asked a question that seemed irrelevant to the topic at hand, causing Chuxia, who was eating an apple, to stop in her tracks.

"What’s wrong? Is it bad?"

This was the most laid-back idea Chuxia could come up with, one that didn’t require much thought.

Beihuai shook his head, "Probably not going to happen!"

Chuxia was stunned.

Jianzheng, lying on the bed, spoke up, "Definitely not going to happen!"

The apple in Chuxia’s hand instantly lost its allure, and her gaze swept back and forth between Jianzheng and Beihuai.

Jianzheng signaled Beihuai to explain, and Beihuai began, "Based on the abilities you’ve shown so far, I reckon you’ve already been targeted. Whether you take the college entrance exam or not, you’ll be admitted, but it certainly won’t be Chinese Language and Literature. It’ll be something related to military technology!"

It was inevitable.

The kind of rare talent the country most lacked, especially the drawings Chuxia could sketch so effortlessly.

She was probably already on the radar of many bigshots; the only reason they hadn’t approached her yet was that they were assessing her value.

Jianzheng and Beihuai both firmly believed in this.

Beihuai had witnessed Chuxia’s ability to draw, while Jianzheng had not yet seen it but had already heard plenty from Jianjun.

His little sister’s talent was a treasure,

Not something anyone could snatch up just by being first in line.

If not for Chuxia’s unique physical condition, she’d already be under strict protection.

Even Jianzheng, when he had just regained consciousness, had received a secret order from the leadership—to do everything possible to protect Chuxia.

Probably, the search and rescue device Chuxia had created was so stunning that it had made the leaders’ hearts flutter.

Chuxia had no idea how impactful her abilities could be. She was still thinking about starting a business to make money and going to university to breeze through life and experience comfortable living.

Maybe because she had lived in an era of rapid technological development in her past life, she didn’t grasp the significance of her knowledge, which led her to believe her skills might only bring minor benefits.

This was a problem of information disparity.

Chuxia was still feeling proud, thinking she would definitely have a comfortable life ahead, but now she felt deflated by what Jianzheng and Beihuai had said.

"Me? Military technology?"

Chuxia wailed and threw herself into Mrs. Gu’s arms, crying out, "Aunt Hong, I don’t want this! I don’t want to work with a bunch of rough men!"

Mrs. Gu was caught between laughter and tears; she hadn’t expected Chuxia to be concerned about that.

Jianzheng’s face darkened, "What are you thinking? Those are great scientific researchers, not ’rough men’. They’re all cultured people!"

Chuxia stopped crying, her expression becoming even more grievous, "Cultured, you say? Researching? Isn’t that even worse? With rough men, there are at least abs to look at. What about dry, scholarly types? Dark circles, or a balding ’Mediterranean’ sea?"

Jianzheng was stunned, but now it was Beihuai whose face was turning dark.

"Chuxia, you’re married now, a married woman!"

He hadn’t intended to bring it up, but now that he had, Chuxia felt even more like crying.

"I haven’t even embraced the beauty of men in this world, and now I’m a married woman, Third Brother, it’s all your fault. Why did you make that random call?"

Jianzheng was speechless...

A well-meaning warning, and it became a fault?

However...

Jianzheng suddenly realized what Chuxia had just said and the pain couldn’t even suppress how appalled he felt.

"Chuxia, since when did you become so shallow?"

Where did that cute little sister of his go?

Was she truly completely replaced?

Tang Jian tried to sober Tang Chuxia up a bit, but unfortunately, Tang Chuxia retorted, "All you men like beauties; what’s wrong with us women liking muscular men?"

There was nothing wrong with her statement.

It’s just that not many women would say it out loud.

Madam Tang slapped Tang Chuxia’s back, "You little brat, how can you dare to say anything?"

Tang Chuxia stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, food and sex are nature! I’m a normal person too!"

Madam Tang chased after Tang Chuxia, trying to hit her, causing a chaotic ruckus in the sickroom, which actually made Tang Jianzheng forget the pain in his body.

He sympathized with Gu Beihuai and warned him, "My sister has changed a lot; you’d better think it through. Marrying her, you might not be able to satisfy her appetites!"

Gu Beihuai bellowed, "I haven’t even started to satisfy, how would you know I won’t be able to?"

Tang Jianzheng looked at him with a weird expression; even Elder Huang seemed enlightened, "Do you need the old man to get you some aphrodisiacs?"

Gu Beihuai: ...

What a blunder!

He had blurted out his innermost thoughts in a rush.

Trying to take it back was definitely not realistic.

"Er, what I meant to say was, I will definitely keep Tang Chuxia too busy to think about other men!"

The more Gu Beihuai explained, the more Tang Jianzheng and Elder Huang wore a look of understanding, watching the expression on his face.

Gu Beihuai: ...

He couldn’t explain himself clearly.

"Third Brother, at least I’m married now, I have a wife, while you can only look but can’t touch!" Gu Beihuai, frustrated and embarrassed, began to attack personally.

Tang Jianzheng snorted, "Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything before the wedding ceremony, I’ll break your damn legs!"

Gu Beihuai retorted, "It’s you who’s getting your legs broken now!"

Tang Jianzheng: ...

He looked at his own legs and could only grit his teeth.

Elder Huang stroked his beard, "Are you sure you don’t need the medicine? With Xiaxia being so headstrong, what if she gets impulsive and throws you out during the wedding night..."

Elder Huang didn’t finish, but images sprang to everyone’s minds.

Gu Beihuai’s face darkened as he glared at Elder Huang, "Disrespecting your elders!"

Tang Jianzheng chuckled, "If it’s with bare buttocks, it would be an even more eye-watering sight!"

Gu Beihuai wished he could gag Tang Jianzheng, but since he couldn’t, he simply turned and ran out.

Whoever wanted to stay in that sickroom, could; he wasn’t going to stay any longer.

Gu Beihuai’s departure was accompanied by the unrestrained laughter of Tang Jianzheng and Elder Huang.

Meanwhile, Tang Chuxia, who was still bewildered, heard their laughter and asked with a puzzled face, "What’s got into you? Did someone trigger your laughter pressure point?"

Tang Jianzheng waved his hand and suppressed his laughter, "Listen carefully, little sister, you are not allowed to have your wedding night with Gu Beihuai unless you have a wedding ceremony!"

Tang Chuxia exclaimed.

She scratched her head, "Is there a special reason for this?"

Tang Jianzheng snorted, "The ones who get it easy are never cherished!"

Tang Chuxia chuckled dryly, "Third Brother, aren’t you a bit too concerned about this? It’s not always the woman who gets the short end of the stick!"

Everyone in the room looked at her with odd expressions.

Tang Chuxia rubbed her hands, "In this sort of thing, whoever takes the lead benefits, I think with my strength, I might not be the one crying!"

Tang Chuxia wanted to say more, but then she heard Madam Tang shout, "Tang Chuxia, shut your mouth! Go stand in the corner and reflect on your behavior!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Mrs. Gu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, patting her thigh, "That actually might happen!"
