Chapter 1290: Chapter 1112: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Tian Xiaobei couldn’t help but explain, "No, it might just be temporary, in a few days they’ll find out you’re a likable lady, just like when I first met you, Abao, I..."

Because the house was too crowded in the evening, with everyone watching them, Tian Xiaobei felt embarrassed to say too much. Now that it was just the two of them in the room, he began to open up, "Abao, I’ve missed you so much during this time, but as soon as I got back from Peach Blossom Village, my parents wanted me to apply to the Imperial Medical Institute. Now I have to read a huge volume of books every day, probably..."

"You’ll probably have to go to Capital City, right?" Xia Dabao asked, feeling very disappointed.

"That’s what my parents want too. Actually, whether or not I go to Capital City doesn’t really matter to me, but I can’t go against their wishes. So, I’ve been thinking... I could pretend to fail the exam on purpose, that way I can stay," Tian Xiaobei said with conviction. "Abao, when that time comes and I stay here, I can take over the Medical Hall, and then I’ll ask my parents to propose to you in Peach Blossom Village."

"Pretend to fail the exam?" Xia Dabao hesitated for a moment and then quickly objected, "No, you can’t go against your parents’ wishes for my sake. If you have the ability to pass, you must try. If you don’t have the ability, then it’s possible to make other plans. If you do this, I’ll feel guilty. Even if I really do marry you in the future, I’ll have no face to meet your parents. They’ll hate me more, thinking that I’ve ruined your future prospects."

"But if I go to Capital City, I’ll have to study at the Imperial Medical Institute for three years. After that, if I get chosen to become an imperial doctor, it will be hard for us to even see each other again," Tian Xiaobei also appeared very conflicted. "Abao, if you hadn’t come to see me today, I would still be undecided. But you did come, and I feel I should do something for you too, shouldn’t I?"

Tian Xiaobei, too, was a young man prone to impulsiveness.

"But your parents won’t agree to this," Xia Dabao was equally conflicted.

If Tian Xiaobei went to Capital City, could she really chase after him there?

No, she couldn’t abandon her parents and run off to such a far place, waiting for an unclear future.

"But, I don’t care about that anymore, Abao. Now I only want to be blissful mandarin ducks with you here in Provincial City, staying together forever," said Tian Xiaobei as he took hold of Xia Dabao’s hand.

Xia Dabao froze. It wasn’t the first time she had held hands with Tian Xiaobei, but in this cramped room, she felt an unprecedented nervousness. Moreover, she didn’t pull her hand away; she let him hold it.

In this moment, she was somewhat flustered and infatuated.

Her vision was filled with Tian Xiaobei, and in her mind echoed his words: "to be blissful mandarin ducks for life, staying together forever."

Could it be possible?

Tian Xiaobei thought Xia Dabao looked even more adorable and charming in her silence. Given they were alone together in the room, he slowly leaned towards Xia Dabao, wanting to press a kiss onto her soft lips.

But before he could kiss Xia Dabao, a cough came from outside the door, which seemed to be from Xiaobei’s mother.

The two, in their moment of turmoil, instantly separated. Tian Xiaobei gave Xia Dabao a deep look before going to open the door. Outside was indeed his mother, and he couldn’t help asking, "Mother, I just came to have a few words with Abao. Why are you still up so late?"
