Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 165 - Indifferent
Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Indifferent
Yue Jiannan thought about many things from three years ago.
The girl who had asked him with a smile whether he was interested in her still stood before his eyes.
But things were different, and people had changed.
Yue Jiannan looked down at Yu Yaxian and asked her, “Do you really want to make a life together with me?”
Yu Yaxian’s nose turned red as she hurriedly tried to express her feelings, “Of course, I do.”
“But if you get into college, you’ll be one of the elite. How could someone like Yue Jiannan be worthy of you?”
A quick flash of emotion passed through Yu Yaxian’s eyes, but she soon said, “The person I like is you.”
Yue Jiannan gazed at her, not saying another word.
It was not until Yu Yaxian started to feel a bit panicky that Yue Jiannan hummed a response and asked her again.

“If we were to have our wedding sooner, would you be willing?”
Yu Yaxian was startled for a moment, “Sooner…”
“Three years ago when we got engaged, it was said that once we were of age and my family had prepared everything promised to your family, we would get married.”
Yu Yaxian was silent, and Yue Jiannan started to calculate for her.
“I’ve worked hard these three years. My family has also helped a lot. The new house is built, the refrigerator and washing machine are both big brands that everyone in the village praises. All that’s missing is a color TV, and we can go to the city to buy that at any time.”
As he listed these things one by one, Yu Yaxian couldn’t think of an excuse to put it off and could only give a strained smile, “I’m going to be yours sooner or later, what difference does it make if it’s a bit earlier or later? I still have exams in half a year, why not wait until I’ve got the admission notice to do all this?”
“You said it yourself, sooner or later it doesn’t matter, so why can’t we do it now?”
Yu Yaxian’s eyes brimmed with tears, and she bit her lower lip, “Jiannan, we’ve had three years of feelings between us. Don’t you trust me?”
Yue Jiannan watched her react, and suddenly let out a laugh, “Alright then, as you wish.”
He said this and began walking back the way they came.
Yu Yaxian hurriedly caught up to him in a few quick steps, “Jiannan, are you angry?”
Yue Jiannan walked at an even pace and casually responded, “No.”
But in that moment, he suddenly realized that he had been blinded by so-called love in the past, unable to see many things clearly.
It was only after truly giving up that he was able to see things for what they were.
In order to meet the Yu Family’s expectations over these three years, he had shed his lazy habits, leaving home before dawn and returning only after dark.
Aside from raising fish, he also learned to buy herbs from the villagers like his brother did, to sell in the city.
Worried about not having anything to talk about with Yu Yaxian, Yue Jiannan would study whenever he had free time, not wanting to become an uneducated brute who couldn’t keep up with his wife.
However, just then, Yue Jiannan finally couldn’t lie to himself anymore.
From the beginning, it was likely that Yu Yaxian had never really liked him.
Yue Jiannan had no regrets about everything he had given. After all, even if it hadn’t been for Yu Yaxian, he would have been just as devoted to anyone else.
But he couldn’t let his family continue to be deceived alongside him.
And so, Yue Jiannan walked to his family’s doorstep, with Yu Yaxian relentlessly following him into the courtyard.
“Jiannan, have you forgiven me?”
After that moment, Yue Jiannan seemed to have completely let go, “It’s almost time for lunch. You should go back early too.”
Yu Yaxian watched Yue Jiannan’s retreating figure as he went inside, her brows furrowed tightly.
In the past, she had always had control over Yue Jiannan’s emotions, making him happy or sad at her whim.
Even before coming here, she had been quite confident in her heart.
But at this moment, Yu Yaxian finally felt that things might no longer be within her control.
After some thought, she decisively turned and left the Yue Family’s house.
Since things had turned out this way, there was no sense in continuing to cling to the issue. It would be better to go home early and think of a strategy.
