Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 62_1

When Huang Lei first heard Huang Dapeng mention Zhao Aoran, she was actually very nervous, her heart tightened considerably.

Her mind was filled with various worries, thinking about how to meet the expectations of the head of the Yue family.

Fortunately, the elder simply mentioned Zhao Aoran in passing, without any intention of bringing them together, which allowed Huang Lei to breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing Huang Lei’s long sigh of relief, Huang Dapeng also found it amusing, "It’s best that you clearly understand our family’s position."

Huang Dapeng always remembered that he was just a chef, one who could cook well and knew how to prepare medicated cuisine, but that was about it.

In Capital City, such a chef as himself should just stay honest and humble.

The two elders could clearly define their own status, but they were worried whether Huang Lei, the girl, might become conceited.

Now he knew that, no matter when, the girl was even more clear-headed than he thought.

"Of course, I must understand, or else I wouldn’t even know how I died."

No matter where one is, it’s better to be honest and keep a low profile.

How others spent their vacation, Huang Lei didn’t know, nor did she want to know. Aside from her daily shopping trips and occasional library visits to borrow books,

she mostly nestled in the kitchen at home, working. One could say that during this summer vacation, her culinary skills had surged tremendously.

She even looked fairer, and when Zhao Aoran returned to Capital City after a frenzy of activities and came to visit, he was indeed taken aback.

Looking down at himself, Zhao Aoran could only acknowledge the disparity, "Didn’t you go out during the summer?"

He remembered that Huang Lei’s skin was never this fair in previous summers.

Huang Lei poured a cup of honeysuckle tea for Zhao Aoran, "I was busy at home learning to make medicated cuisine."

She had mentioned her interest in medicated cuisine to Zhang Xia and Zhao Aoran, but not to other classmates.

Their relationship wasn’t close enough, even though they shared a dormitory and were classmates; everyone was busy.

They were busy reading, and Huang Lei was also busy reading. Regardless of whether she would work in the financial industry in the future, she needed to study seriously now.

"Have you decided that you want to pursue this field?" Zhao Aoran had originally thought Huang Lei was just helping Huang Dapeng with his work.

The old man was getting on in years, and it was quite tiring to prepare so many medicated meals every day.

But now it seemed that Huang Lei might have her own plans, recalling a previous conversation about whether she wanted to open a private restaurant.

Zhao Aoran remembered that back then Huang Lei had said it wasn’t time yet. He thought that she wasn’t completely ready to commit because everyone was worried about policy changes making life difficult again.

"Have you really considered pursuing this profession?" Zhao Aoran decided to ask directly.

"I haven’t fully decided yet; right now, I just want to focus on studying seriously, especially since I worked hard to get into R University."

"And you, have you made up your mind?" Huang Lei didn’t want to dwell on this matter.

"I still want to pursue an official career." This summer vacation, despite all the hustling, he had made quite a bit of money.

"Seeing all that money, I was indeed tempted. It comes so fast, I could earn in one day what many people make in a year."

"But I still want to pursue an official career." Zhao Aoran quickly reaffirmed his original path.

"I have so many things to do." Zhao Aoran knew that an official’s life was the most suitable for him.

"Then you should take your time at R University to choose, to select a wife who will benefit your future." Now was the best opportunity to unfold the conversation.

Zhao Aoran suddenly looked up, "You, you..." He had thought about whether Huang Lei knew he liked her.

Thinking it over, he felt it was impossible; he had always concealed his feelings well, and he shouldn’t have shown any signs, also considering he thought Huang Lei wasn’t that perceptive.

To his surprise, she knew everything all along. The topic had been broached, and Zhao Aoran knew there was no way to avoid it.

Taking a deep breath, "Why haven’t you ever considered, us being together?"

"We’re from the same place, classmates from junior and senior high school, we’ve persevered together on the farm."

"We studied together, I can say, we’ve been through more together than many others."

"Sometimes, all it takes is a hint, and you know exactly what I’m trying to convey."

Zhao Aoran really didn’t understand, they had so many years of feelings between them, why hadn’t they considered being together.

Huang Lei wasn’t surprised that Zhao Aoran would address this directly; she poured water into her already empty cup, "Why not consider it? It’s because we are too familiar."

"I have seen you in your prideful days during junior and senior high school; I have seen you in your despair when forsaken by the Zhao family."

"I have also seen your frustration and reckless abandon when you had to pick manure."

"You could say I have seen the lowest and most pitiful times of your life. Maybe you now feel that since we’ve suffered together, we’d make the most suitable couple."

Zhao Aoran nodded incessantly, "Isn’t that right?"

In the past, many girls flocked to him, he didn’t even know whether they liked him or the perks that came with him.

Once he fell from grace, they all disappeared. Zhao Aoran couldn’t guarantee that his future life would always ascend or if there would continue to be lows.

Being abandoned once was enough to experience.

"But when you walk the official path, your upbringing, you know how to communicate and speak."

"The farm experience taught you endurance, whether you choose politics or business, you will do very well."

Huang Lei had absolute confidence in this; without the support of the Zhao family, in contrast, those failures from the Zhao household wouldn’t be able to hold him back.

Even without much help from the Yue family, Huang Lei believed that he would definitely succeed.

Of course, Zhao Aoran had confidence in himself, "But I hope that you can share in all my glory."

Zhao Aoran wanted to say, if it wasn’t for her inspiring words back then, he didn’t know what he would have become now.

The only thing certain was, he definitely wouldn’t be who he is today, even if she said those words back then to spite Fan Xiaofei.

Her words were a true encouragement, the only bright spot on his dark path in life.

Share? Huang Lei laughed, "Zhao Aoran, what you call sharing the glory with me, is having me forget about the times you were most embarrassed, only to remember the glorious times."

"To recall when you were full of pride."

"I can tell you, once we start arguing, I will lose all reason, and I will bring up the past you desperately want to forget."

"When you’re in the limelight, you’ll also wonder why I’m the wife, and whenever you see me, you’ll always remember those unbearable experiences of yours."

"Of course, that’s not the most important thing. The most important is, you are very likely to travel all over, your career is important."

"I’m just an accessory to you, my work has to follow you around." That’s what it was like for the original owner at that time.
