She indeed intended to try to fall in love with Shen Chi, but she couldn’t ignore that everything he did was calculated, weighed with pros and cons.
The sixteen-year-old Lin Xiaoguai might not have noticed the incongruity in Shen Chi, but the twenty-five-year-old Lin Xiaoguai of her previous life did, and so did she now.
She had tolerated it until now, which was already her limit.
Shen Chi’s figure halted, his gaze looking at Lin Xiaoguai almost in shock, and with an embarrassment he didn’t even realize himself.
He knew this woman was very smart, but he hadn’t expected her to be this perceptive.
“…I’m sorry.” Apart from these words, he didn’t know what else to say.
He couldn’t even promise to change; dealing with everyone with a calculating mindset at all times had become his habit and instinct.
The military is a very simple place, but due to his special family background, his life had been harder than anyone’s.
If he didn’t scheme, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
Lin Xiaoguai gave him a look, feeling somewhat disappointed but more than that, wistful.
She had known, hadn’t she?
That Shen Chi was like this.
She withdrew her hand and left on her own.
Leaving Shen Chi standing in place with a bitter smile.
When she returned home, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t say anything and went straight to the kitchen.
Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang looked at each other, what happened?
They turned their gaze to Shen Chi, who had followed in.
“Chi, did you upset Wanwan?”
Shen Chi didn’t know whether he should nod or not, and his moment of hesitation became an admission in the eyes of the elders.
“You really are…
Wanwan is pregnant, why couldn’t you have indulged her?” Luo Yufang glared at him and then said, “Old man, talk to him, I’ll go and see how Wanwan is feeling.” It was rare for the grandson to come back, they couldn’t let the young couple be at odds.
After watching his partner enter the kitchen, Shen Zhangming pulled Shen Chi down to sit and asked, “What happened?”
“Grandpa, do you think it’s not so good for a woman to be too smart?” He was always proud and arrogant; although his education was not high, he never felt his brain was inferior to those who attended university.
It was just that time was not on his side.
The reason he had forcibly married Lin Xiaoguai was because of her intelligence.
If the Lin Xiaoguai he had investigated wasn’t consistently top of her class, he wouldn’t have been so eager to scheme her into marrying him.
He wasn’t someone above worldly concerns; deep down he was just as mundane.
But unexpectedly, he had also found himself in a situation of lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
When Lin Xiaoguai pointed out his nature, he felt a moment of panic, but now he was feeling excited.
Wasn’t it romantic for someone in this world to see through your glamourous facade and understand your most shameful truths?
He thought of the word commonly used by the cultural troops who occasionally performed at the base.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Shen Zhangming frowned slightly, “Of course, the smarter a woman is, the better.
She could hold you back when you’re acting foolishly, and the children she brings into this world would be smarter than those of others.”
Shen Chi held his forehead, resigned.
He really shouldn’t have discussed this with grandpa; the way their minds operated was on completely different wavelengths.
“Wanwan, has Chi upset you?
Don’t take it to heart, I’ll set him straight for you.” In the kitchen, Luo Yufang was picking vegetables while sneakily observing Lin Xiaoguai’s expression.
“It’s not necessary.” Lin Xiaoguai smiled, “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy from the sun.” She didn’t want the elders to worry about them.
Luo Yufang couldn’t believe it, but since Lin Xiaoguai wasn’t willing to talk, she had no other choice.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoguai went to bed early, and Shen Chi took Shen Xiu to school, as she had to return to school the next Monday.
Finding herself unable to sleep, Lin Xiaoguai entered the space.
She opened the exchange shop and turned to the health product page, flipping for over ten minutes until she finally found what she was looking for.
Vitamin Juice: 2 Gold Coins per packet, dissolve in hot water for consumption, with a sweet and sour taste.
One cup a day achieves maximum effect, continued use can effectively reduce body fat, but there is an 80% chance of rebound if discontinued.
Vitamin Seaweed: Priced at 100 Gold Coins per item, add the stewed juice to bathwater for a slimming effect.
One piece can be used for ten days, stop using once the ideal body shape is reached, with zero rebound and zero side effects.
Beauty Pill: Each pill is priced at 500 Gold Coins, the highest achievement product for healthy weight loss.
One pill a day for one year could relieve you of obesity and achieve a devilish figure.
Includes various effects such as whitening and smoothing the skin, with the biggest selling point being that the benefits of this product could be passed on to the offspring, making hereditary obesity no longer a nightmare.
Lin Xiaoguai’s lips twitched at the introduction of the Beauty Pill.
Was it an illusion?
It felt like, compared to the two standard products, the intro for the Beauty Pill carried a strong comedic vibe.
However, out of her consistent trust in the exchange shop, she still bought a year’s worth of Beauty Pills, and just like that, nearly two hundred thousand Gold Coins were spent.
But Lin Xiaoguai didn’t mind the expense; if money could be spent on something beneficial, it was worth it.
If the introduction dared to claim healthy weight loss, it certainly wasn’t a lie.
She had already planned to help Xiao Mei change her figure when she was at Xiao Mei’s house, and indeed the exchange shop had not disappointed her.
With a weight off her mind, Lin Xiaoguai turned her attention to the pond she had previously dug and the livestock she had been raising for just two days.
In only a few days, the fingerling fish in the pond had grown into mature fish – although they couldn’t compare with the growth rate of plants, they were definitely not slow.
But Lin Xiaoguai noticed that the growth of the livestock wasn’t as rapid as that of the fish; the fist-sized chicks, ducklings, and goslings had doubled in size, and although there were visible changes in the size of piglets, lambs, and calves, they couldn’t match the former group.
It was evident, the larger the livestock, the slower the growth rate.
Lin Xiaoguai wasn’t disappointed; after all, she wasn’t planning to sell them, and these would be enough for her family to eat.
She was even worried about having too many eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs in the future.
