Chapter 146: Chapter 145: Not Fondness (2nd Update)

Are you kidding me, Xu Niannian is a girl with a round face?

Is it that he misunderstood something about girls with round faces, or is he confused about the concept of beauty?

"You’re the one with a problem in your head," Jin Yu snapped, slapping his hand away.

Ye Shaoting was completely puzzled, according to Jin Yu’s previous statement, that girl with the round face was his sweetheart.

Could he change his heart so quickly? That seemed unlikely; this wasn’t the Jin Yu he knew.

Was Xu Niannian the girl with the round face?

Ye Shaoting took another look at Xu Niannian, only managing to see the back of her head and her long, shiny black hair.

Could it be that Jin Yu’s so-called ’girl with the round face’ was the little girl he liked as a child?

And that little girl was Xu Niannian, who, because women change so much as they grow up, had turned into a devastatingly beautiful woman, and that was why Jin Yu hadn’t recognized her at first?

The more Ye Shaoting thought about it, the more it made sense, "Looks like you’re quite fond of her."

"Fond of her?" Jin Yu laughed as if he had heard the joke of the century, "How could that be possible."

"How could it not be possible when you call her your future wife?" Ye Shaoting was genuinely confused now.

Jin Yu looked thoughtfully at the girl in the yard, fond of her... probably not.

He was doing it out of responsibility.

Ever since Ye Shaoting asked that question, Jin Yu had been acting odd all over, telling Ye Shaoting to look for shops, insisting they needed one by the afternoon.

With a click of his tongue, Ye Shaoting muttered, "I must really owe you one, spending my five days of vacation at your service."

After sending Ye Shaoting away, Jin Yu put on a brave face and went into the yard to find Xu Niannian.

The Jin Yu family’s house had a rather large courtyard, and Xu Niannian had an idea to plant some vegetables and fruits in it.

But the land had been unoccupied for a long time, with weeds almost as high as her knees.

After laboring hard for half a day, her hands turned red from the harsh work.

Her hands became delicately sensitive, and it didn’t take long for Xu Niannian to feel the pain in them.

Jin Yu happened to come over, saw her reddened palms and frowned deeply, "Stop it, I’ll do it."

Elder Jin’s stubbornness flared up again as he roughly pulled Xu Niannian to a stand.

"What are you doing?" Xu Niannian glared at him. Why couldn’t this man stay put? She still remembered the way he feigned fainting to take advantage of her the day before.

But her glare lacked force; instead, it seemed almost flirtatious, making Jin Yu melt on the spot, his voice turning hoarse and low, he even stuttered, "I...I’ll do it, you just watch, watching is enough."

Having said that, Jin Yu crouched down fiercely, wielding the shovel with vigor.

With a willing laborer at her doorstep, Xu Niannian willingly accepted the help, sitting on a chair to the side and directing him.

Jin Yu was serious about his work, not at all acting like a wealthy heir who couldn’t handle hardship.

Only then did Xu Niannian remember that the annoying Jin Yu was actually a military man.

It was too hot at noon, so Jin Yu simply took off his shirt and worked with his bare upper body.

Upon removing his shirt, his lean muscles looked robust and resilient.

The muscles on his abdomen were well-defined, smooth and clear, and his skin had a bronze hue, exuding a wild charm.

In comparison, his facial skin was whiter than that on his body; his muscles didn’t look exaggerated but conveyed an impression of strength.

Xu Niannian knew Jin Yu had a good physique, and seeing it again still dazzled her.

As a connoisseur of good looks, she appreciated not only the face but the body as well.

Xu Niannian’s feelings toward Jin Yu were complex because of that incident; she always felt different about Jin Yu.

She was certain it wasn’t love, perhaps all girls harbor unique feelings towards the man they give their first time to.

She quite disliked Jin Yu because he had forcefully taken her first time, but she didn’t hate him particularly because later she realized he hadn’t been in his right mind at that time.

Every subsequent unpleasant encounter only increased Xu Niannian’s dislike for him.

However, since he rescued her from Du Jiahao, that intense dislike seemed to have lessened quite a bit.
