Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Love was something Jin Nian still didnt fully comprehend. She thought, perhaps, that she didnt resist being intimate with Lu An because she liked him. Similarly, Lu An probably felt the same way.

Teacher Tan wasnt as angry now as before. Old Jin, who was beside her, was trying to mediate. The kids know theyve done wrong. Dont be angry anymore. Young people being impulsive is normal. Considering their good att.i.tudes, lets spare them this time.

Teacher Tan had been a teacher all her life. It was common for students to make mistakes. She had never encountered a student who didnt. What she cared most about was the students att.i.tudes after making a mistake.

Lu An had already figured out Teacher Tans temperament. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, the first thing he did was admit his mistake. Teacher Tan wouldnt be too hard on him after that.

As expected, Teacher Tan glared at them. Couldnt you have said it while standing? Did you have to kneel here and be a nuisance? Others must think our home is some outdated feudal place.

Jin Nian stood up obediently. Lu An followed suit after seeing her stand up.

Old Jin smiled and said, Alright, lets eat first. We can talk later.

Just like when they were kids when parents got angry and told their children to eat, it meant they were forgiven.

Teacher Tan knew Lu An was coming today, so she instructed Old Jin to prepare dishes that he would like. The couple had been busy in the kitchen since the afternoon, preparing fresh fish and making soup.

The table was full of delicious dishes. Old Jin happily brought out some of his collection and asked Lu An to have a drink with him.

Lu An had been tired from his business trip, and he didnt want to drink. But since he was invited by his father-in-law, he had to accompany him.

Teacher Tan noticed the exhaustion in his eyes and stopped Old Jin from pressuring him to drink.

Even though Lu An said he didnt want to drink, he couldnt help but have a gla.s.s of white wine with his father-in-law.

After dinner, Teacher Tan took Jin Nian aside to talk.

Jin Nian had fair skin from a young age. The slap from last night, even though not intentional, had left a mark on her.

Seeing this, Teacher Tan felt uneasy and softened her tone. Youre too headstrong. You dared to make such a big decision on your own.

Jin Nian was usually straightforward. Now that everything had turned out well, she relaxed a bit. Mom I was impulsive. It had nothing to do with Lu An.

But now youre speaking up for him.

Im not defending him. I cant let him take the blame for what I did.

Teacher Tan pointed at her nose. I knew this bad idea must have come from you. Lu An might not be well-behaved, but he wouldnt toy with marriage for fun.

Im not doing it for fun.

Then tell me, when did you start liking him?

Jin Nian was caught off guard by the sudden question. I just suddenly felt he was a good person. Maybe I was too familiar with him before and didnt see his good qualities. After being apart for a few years and meeting again, I suddenly felt that as a man, hes quite suitable for life.

Jin Nians response was thoughtless, spoken off the cuff.

It didnt matter. As long as it worked on Teacher Tan.

Teacher Tan nodded in satisfaction. Lu An is indeed a good kid. Now that youre at this point, just live your life well with him.

I understand, Mom.

After speaking with Jin Nian, Teacher Tan found Lu An to have a private conversation.

Jin Nian wasnt worried about Lu An being put in a difficult position. She was just curious about what they would talk about and wanted to listen in.

Dont worry, Mom wont give me a hard time. Lu An patted her shoulder.

Jin Nian gave him a signal and whispered, Of course, I know she wont give you a hard time.

This matter resolved more smoothly than Jin Nian had imagined.

Old Jin was still at the dining table, drinking alone. Jin Nian walked over, picked up the cup Lu An had used, poured some for herself, and toasted Old Jin. Dad, thanks for standing up for me tonight.

Old Jin waved his hand. Its Lu An, that kid, whos smart. He made your mom so happy.

Jin Nian giggled. The white wine burned down her throat, making her s.h.i.+ver.

Old Jin had drunk quite a bit tonight, and his gaze was a bit unfocused. Niannian, Im relieved that youre with Lu An, he said with earnestness. Dad can tell that he likes you.

Jin Nian muttered to herself. Lu Ans acting was impressive, even managing to fool Old Jin.

Now that youve made your decision, dont change your mind easily. In the future, you two should support each other and live a good life..
