Chapter 1746: Chapter 1746: Does He Really Like Me?

“Who doesn’t know that nowadays every position at Da Ling is occupied by those capable,” Xue Shi continued, “The capable rise, the mediocre fall. If she has the ability herself, after getting married she could become a female teacher, and no one would question her ability and capability. Why must she persist on this now, especially when it’s not something that can be achieved overnight. If she drags this on, she’ll lose her chance. If there’s any change in the plan, can she confidently say she won’t regret it later?”

“You make sense, I’ll talk to her later and see if I can persuade her,” Yang Yuancheng said.

Xue Shi added, “You handle things with Wenwan, and I’ll take care of Xue Bai. Let Xue Bai realize his own feelings, and when the time comes, let him confess to Wenwan first. She surely won’t reject him, will she?”

Yang Yuancheng smiled and said, “That’s indeed a good plan. Let’s do that.”

After that, Xue Shi left.

Yang Yuancheng then went back to his private room in the academy to study, preparing for next year’s imperial examinations.

...

It wasn’t until almost noon, when he was taking a break for lunch and his two sisters came to eat in his room instead of the cafeteria, that he brought up Xue Shi’s visit, and that Xue Bai actually hadn’t touched Lingxi, but had given ten thousand silver taels nonetheless.

“I always knew Xue Bai was not just kind-hearted, he’s simply foolish!” Yang Pingting immediately exclaimed in anger.

Consequently, Yang Wenwan’s mood lifted.

Since she had a liking for Xue Bai and had always paid close attention to him, she was well aware of his personality. Thus, she wasn’t surprised about Xue Bai’s fear that Lingxi might seek to harm herself again, thinking that a life was still a life and didn’t insist on clarifying the matter, as well as giving Lingxi ten thousand taels.

After all, what she liked about Xue Bai was his naivety, honesty, and kindness.

This was the true Xue Bai.

Knowing that her younger sister Yang Pingting was present, Yang Yuancheng refrained from speaking directly and waited for Pingting to go out and play with friends from the academy before he explained Xue Shi’s intentions to Yang Wenwan.

Yang Wenwan’s face flushed red at once, and she stammered, barely able to speak, “Xue Bai, does he, does he really like me?”

It was evident that she had always felt her affection for Xue Bai was one-sided and had never believed that he reciprocated her feelings.

“Anyway, Xue Shi and I think so. Let’s let Xue Shi test the waters. If Xue Bai does like you, then what are you waiting for? Of course you should get married sooner rather than later.”

Indeed, if that were the case, she naturally wouldn’t insist anymore.

Honestly, she, too, was afraid that she might regret it in the future due to her current persistence.

But still—

“If we try to find out and he doesn’t like me, won’t it be awkward when we meet later?” It’s not just about not being able to be friends; it would genuinely be awkward.

Her sister’s concerns weren’t unfounded, but Yang Yuancheng reassured her, “Xue Shi is sensible about these things, and since Xue Bai is so obtuse and dull, he probably won’t even realize when Xue Shi is testing him. You see, everyone can tell you like Xue Bai, but he has no clue.”

With this reassurance, Yang Wenwan felt much more relieved.

No matter what happened, she always wanted to handle things gracefully.

Even if rejected, if someone genuinely didn’t like her, she wanted to part ways gracefully.

Although Xue Shi didn’t want to stretch things out, upon returning from his meeting with Yang Yuancheng, he didn’t immediately try to probe Xue Bai. Instead, he waited until evening to secretly gather the children from his family, excluding Xue Bai. Of course, baby was also excluded, as Xue Yang was at home with Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. The others were staying in town, some studying at the academy and some learning to manage shops under the guidance of Xue Sifu.
