Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

So the deal went smoothly and he even signed an agreement which he stored in a secret compartment of a piece of furniture in the basement.

No one would know about this except himself, but since he chose this position, he planned to confess this matter to Teacher Meng.

He knew her character, and it was only after more than a year of getting along that they established a deep sense of trust.

It can be said that he trusts Teacher Meng more than the village chief who has always been working for him.

Therefore, she was the only one who knew about the things in the basement.

In the past, he had enough wealth and food, but he didn't feel that life was meaningful. Now that Teacher Meng appears and lives with him every day, he finds the long-lost family warmth.

He was very grateful and didn't want to ruin this relationship, so after he realized how he felt, he kept thinking about the decision, and only dared to express his feelings bravely when the chances of confessing were almost certain.

He was just afraid of failure. The two of them would be awkward and would see each other all the time, so how would they maintain their previous relationship in the future?

The two of them walked straight into the yard. The house had not been lived in for a long time and there was some grass growing on the ground. Fortunately, when they opened the door, the furniture inside was still covered with cloth to avoid dust.

After simply tidying up the yard and the house, Liu Qingwei used the excuse of going out to visit a friend. Cheng Cheng could imagine what he might be doing.

She waved her hand without stopping him, and after he left, she walked around the room eating an apple.

There was no fresh food here, so she went from the convenience store.

It was washed before and kept there without being eaten.

After a while, the eldest brother came into the yard carrying a bag of food. Chengcheng noticed it and recycled the remaining apple core into the convenience store trash can.

Then he poked his hands and waited for someone to come in as if nothing had happened. When he came in, he acted surprised and stood up and rushed over to ask him, "Brother, you are back, what are you holding?"

"A friend gave me some fish and some sweet shrimp. I'll prepare them first. We'll go out for a walk later. After you finish sending the letter, come back and eat them. After that, we'll go back to the village."

"Okay." Anyway, there are so many people in the village and it's easy for people to sniff whatever you eat, so it's better to have a full meal in the city before going back.

But all he bought was food, so he had nothing to give her?

I couldn't help but feel disappointed, so I quietly pestered my elder brother and asked, "Are there only fish and shrimps? Nothing else?"

"Well, that's all I'll put in first."

"Hey! Big brother, I'm with you."

"No, just wait outside for a moment and I'll pack it up right away. These things are too much trouble."

"Ok."

Seeing him carrying things to the kitchen, Cheng Cheng watched his movements with accusing eyes, thinking in her heart, did Big Brother really bring these back?! Did Big Brother fail to express his feelings today? Or was this relationship always pure and she was thinking too much?!

Talking about their last conversation on the village path, she could feel that his heart was with her. It had only been such a short time and yet he seemed to have changed. This made her feel that if things really developed that way, the image of her elder brother in her heart would become that of a complete scumbag.

This was a heavy blow to her who had never failed in her strategy of conquering others.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hearing her eldest brother asking questions in the kitchen, she calmed down and stopped thinking about those guesses. She walked to the kitchen door for the first time and answered with a pout, "Brother, are you bringing me to the city to eat and go shopping today?"

"Yes, are you dissatisfied with this schedule?"

"Not satisfied! If that's the case, I'll go back to the village right now. It's not like I can't eat something good in the village, it's just that it's a little troublesome to grab and eat."

Seeing that she was about to leave after her tantrum, Liu Qingwei hurriedly stood up and took something from the bag without even bothering to wipe the water droplets from his hands, rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"Are you still angry? Don't you want the gift I wanted to give you?"

"What gift did you give me?"

"Do you like this? I got it from a friend."

"What is that? A music box."

"You know a lot."

"Of course, I've seen it all. A piano music box like this is pretty expensive, right? Is it reliable for you to ask your friend to buy it for you? Will he report us?"

During this fastest changing decade, people are not very accepting of such foreign things. Once discovered, they would be labeled as worshipping foreign things, which would do absolutely no good. To ordinary people, this would be a time bomb.

"Many Friendship Stores have closed down, and it's really hard to buy things. I have a way, so you don't have to worry."

He wouldn't like the common items he bought in the city as gifts for her. These were just selected by the black market boss.

Compared to other foreign products, this one is the newest one. The piano shape makes it very interesting that it can produce sound by pulling out the hair.

Although he had never seen a real piano in person and had no way to buy one for her, it was still good to be able to see one like this.

It would be hard for the boss to sell things like this if he took them back, so he might as well bargain on this basis.

I managed to get the item at half the price, and also picked some new things from him as a cover.

He had intended to wait until they came back from shopping and had dinner to give her a surprise, but he didn't expect her to throw a tantrum and want to go back, disrupting all his previous plans.

Now I have no choice but to adjust to the changes. Now is the best time to confess my feelings.

Liu Qingwei licked his lips, looked at the whorl of hair on her head, and glanced away nervously.

"Jingyi, I have something to tell you. Can you sit outside while I wash my hands?"

"Okay, big brother, I'll wait for you."

Liu Qingwei untied his arms and watched her walk away before he relaxed a little. He filled a basin with clean water and washed his hands with soap before leaving.

Sitting next to her, he cleared his throat and said, "Jingyi, I wanted to tell you this last time, but was interrupted by those two people in the village. I think you probably guessed what I wanted to say before I finished speaking. If you want to refuse me, please let me finish my words first, okay?"

"Brother, please tell me."

"Okay, we have known each other and lived together for a year, and my feelings towards you have changed day by day. I myself did not expect that I would fall in love with you. Don't get me wrong, I did not plan to find someone to live with nor did I consider my feelings. Given our situation, I would think twice before discussing such matters with anyone, because I know that I cannot guarantee that I can completely protect a person from getting hurt. But your appearance gave me this idea and shook all the decisions I had made before. I am willing to sacrifice myself to protect you..."

"I'm not saying this to add burden or pressure to you. I'm just objectively expressing all my thoughts. You can reject me, and I will respect your personal choice. I've said almost everything I need to say. If you agree to me, we can be together. If you don't agree, it's okay. I'll treat you as my sister."
