His Girl Has Grown Up

"But I like you. I like to stick to you and be with you. Aren't you willing to be with me?"

Jian Huaiyu's heart was thumping rapidly, and his mind had completely gone blank. The noise of the city seemed to have left them in an instant, and only a voice was left in his ears…

I like you. I like to stick to you and be with you…

Over and over again, it echoed in his heart, causing his calm heart to surge like boiling water.

She said… she liked him…

Under the night sky, Jian Huaiyu's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, sparkling.

On the other hand, Jinhua was carefully sensing the situation. Although she seemed to be quite relaxed all day, she had been playing.

Actually, ever since she met Jian Huaiyu, she had been vigilant.

She had never forgotten that this was a book world.

In the original text, she was only a character who lived in the memories of the male lead and some supporting characters. Her life was not mentioned much in the text.

The only plot that featured her was because Jian Huaiyu had returned to this area and looked at these familiar scenes, recalling bits and pieces about her.

She could add anything that was not mentioned in the original text. After all, this was her life.

There might be nothing about her life in the original text, but it was impossible for her to not exist.

However, in some plots with specific lines, if she did not follow the original author's instructions, would she be noticed?

"Huahua…" Although Jian Huaiyu deliberately suppressed it, his voice was still trembling with excitement. "Are you serious?"

Jinhua's distant thoughts were pulled back to reality by his voice. She blinked and said, "Of course. Every word I said was serious."

Jian Huaiyu was extremely excited, but when he thought of his family, his joy was gradually suppressed by his rationality. His smile was gentle as he rubbed Jinhua's head like a caring big brother.

"You're still young. You should focus on your studies and not think too much."

Jinhua: "???".

He was clearly so happy that he was about to take off, but what was he saying now?

Are you kidding me?

However, when she thought about how Jian Huaiyu was indeed not confident enough in himself in the early stages and how he felt inferior because of his family, he did not dare to express his feelings to her.

He'd always wanted to confess to her when his career improved and he could give her a good life.

In the end, who would have expected that a person like Rong Zihao would appear…

Although she had been reborn, Jian Huaiyu's thoughts were still stuck in the framework the original author had set for him. He knew that she could not change him for the time being, so Jinhua did not force him.

At least she'd broken through this layer of window paper first, letting him know that the person she liked was him. It was not an unrequited love on his end.

After returning home, Jinhua sat at her desk and listed a few summaries in her notebook.

1. Came into contact with the jade industry in advance and earned the first bucket of gold.

2. Took the initiative to confess to Jian Huaiyu.

Neither of these things matched the original plot. Although her body was fine now and her surroundings had not changed much, she could not let her guard down. She had to pay attention at all times.

When Jian Huaiyu returned home, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and changed into his pajamas. As he wiped his wet hair, he sat down at the desk.

Almost all the books on his bookshelf were professional books related to jade. Usually, he would take them out to study when he was free.

But tonight, his thoughts were all on Jinhua's confession.

I like you, I like to stick to you…

A low laugh of joy escaped from his throat. It was warm and magnetic. His gaze swept across the table and landed on the red lollipop. His gaze became even gentler.

The lollipop wrapper was torn and crumpled. He held it in his hand and gently pulled the wrapper flat.

However, there was still a lollipop inside. It was bulging. No matter how he pulled it, the wrapping paper was still wrinkled in the end.

After fiddling with it for a while, Jian Huaiyu seemed to compromise and put the lollipop back.

He propped his head up and watched in fascination, as if in his eyes, that was the girl in his heart.

After a long while, he muttered, "The little girl who likes candy has grown up. She knows what love is."

But the current him was not worthy of such a beautiful woman…

Thinking of this, the smile on Jian Huaiyu's face gradually faded, and there was a hint of sorrow.

Thinking that he still had a few materials at home, he stood up and went to the workbench.

He had a set of tools at home. Sometimes, he would buy some suitable materials and bring them back to process.

Pu Yonghe was very open-minded. As long as the quality was right, he could directly sell the finished products in the shop. He would not take any extra fees. How much he sold them for would be his.

He had to hurry up and earn money to prepare for his future business.

Mother Jian heard the sound of the machine and came out of the house. She knocked on Jian Huaiyu's door.

"Huaiyu, it's late. Why aren't you resting yet?"

"Mom." Jian Huaiyu stood up to open the door and smiled awkwardly. "Am I disturbing you?"

"Mom isn't asleep yet either."

Mother Jian saw that he was wearing pajamas but was still working. She reminded him, "Don't work too late. It's a waste of your energy. If you don't rest well at night, you'll get injured again if you're careless. Look at the injuries on your hands. They haven't even healed completely. Why are you starting again…"

Hearing her nagging, Jian Huaiyu could only coax her. "Alright, alright. I understand. This dragon carving is almost completed. I'll sleep immediately after carving it."

Mother Jian was satisfied. "Then you have to be careful not to hurt yourself again."

"Yes, don't worry."

After sending Mother Jian off, Jian Huaiyu returned to the workbench. These small pieces of material were all cut from one material. Other than the dragon tablet in his hand, he could also make a few small accessories.

Previously, he had drawn the design draft. He knew how to carve each piece of material, which flaws to deal with, and what value to maximize.

However, the work of jade sculptures needed to be done slowly. Although the material was small, the process was very complicated.

It was another day of working hard for the future!

… .

"Huahua, hurry up and get up for dinner. Don't you have to go to school today?"

Jinhua was woken up by Feng Mingfang's loud voice. She sat up from the bed and tidied her messy hair. She hurriedly picked up the phone on the bedside table to look at the time.

7:40 a.m.

Jinhua was so frightened that she instantly jumped up. Last night, she had been worried that there would be an accident and stayed up until midnight. In the end, she could not take it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.

In the end, she overslept.
