Chapter 62 -62 She Really Didn’t Think…_1

Watching Xiao Changyi’s curling lips, An Jing naturally smiled again.

Yet she didn’t comment further on this.

Instead, she smiled again looking at the ten pounds of polished rice Xiao Changyi bought for her.

The gesture was small, but the thoughtfulness behind it was truly invaluable.

Furthermore, she discovered that Xiao Changyi’s heart was genuinely careful and he truly put effort into caring for her.

He didn’t speak much, but whatever he could do, he would do for her.

Having a man treat her like this, and especially one whom she liked, it would be strange if it didn’t sweeten her heart.

Out of the corner of her eye, noticing the twenty pounds of fish fry that Xiao Changyi also bought, An Jing then looked at the fish fry set aside and thought for a moment before asking, “Should we tell Aunt Liu Hua about fish farming in the rice fields to increase the yield?”

The other villagers could be ignored, not a good one among them!

As for why she thought of telling Aunt Liu Hua, it was because she didn’t want to owe favors, and Aunt Liu Hua had previously given her two sets of old clothes to change into, leaving her grateful.

Xiao Changyi shook his head, “That won’t do.” After a pause, he explained carefully, “No one has raised them in the past, and even if told, she won’t believe it. Better not to say anything.”

An Jing’s heart trembled greatly. She felt like she had revealed too much in front of him! In this era, nobody raised fish in rice paddies, yet she had spoken of fish increasing production!

Indeed, she trusted him too much, without any guard against him.

However…

An Jing suddenly smiled again. He was so clever, he must have noticed something was off about her long ago; how much she exposed in front of him now or in the future didn’t really matter anymore.

Looking at him with an excited smile, she asked, “When did you notice?” Noticed that she was no longer Lin Anjing.

Knowing what she was asking, Xiao Changyi was utterly honest, “The time I found you in the hunting trap.” He paused, then raised his hand, touching her spirited eyes, “She wouldn’t have your kind of eyes.”

The hopelessly self-deemed inferior Lin Anjing could never possess such confident and innately radiant eyes.

After another pause, Xiao Changyi continued, “When I pulled you up, I was only eighty percent sure, but then you picked Niu Jin Grass, and recognized characters…”

“Recognize characters?” An Jing frowned, somewhat bewildered. Had she recognized any characters here? She had no recollection of that.

“Yes,” Xiao Changyi nodded, “Although you hid it well, before you snatched the servitude contract, I saw that you were looking for more than just Father Lin and Mother Lin’s thumbprints.”

Everyone thought she was just checking for Father Lin and Mother Lin’s handprints on the servitude contract, but only he noticed that she could read.

No wonder he was not at all surprised earlier when he showed her the household registration certificate, and she knew what those were.

So that was it!

Truly worthy of the man she fancied, his ability to read expressions was nothing short of mastery!

An Jing laughed again at that.

Her grandfather liked to write with a brush, and every household in his village had their New Year couplets written by him every year. She lived with her grandfather since she was a child, and under his influence, she not only essentially recognized all those traditional characters, but she also wrote brush calligraphy very well.

She really owed it to her grandfather; otherwise, she would have been illiterate upon arriving here.

An Jing laughed again for a while, then arched an eyebrow and teased, “Aren’t you afraid that I might be some monster or demon?”

Xiao Changyi shook his head, indicating he wasn’t afraid.

After a long moment, he said, “No matter what you are, I only know that you are my wife.”

That was so sweet in An Jing’s heart, but she deliberately said, “We aren’t married yet, so I can’t be considered your wife.”
