Zhang Xingyu suddenly felt a sense of reality. For him, Jing Heguang is no longer just the representative of the ‘fiancé’ word, but a real existence.
After father Zhang passed away, he has been studying in the academy and rarely comes home except to collect money and celebrate the new year. One can imagine how unfamiliar these two are.
However, Zhang Xingyu has found a reasonable reason for Jing Heguang’s change — Jing Heguang has a heavy past behind him, no wonder he wants to go to school and make progress.
Now, under the unexpected stimulation, Jing Heguang begins to think about him, so he is different from before.
Zhang Xingyu was very happy to see Jing Heguang’s changes and consideration after he woke up.
It’s just…wasn’t it too embarrassing that he cried just now?
Zhang Xingyu felt his face getting hotter and hotter as he thought about it. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone calling him loudly outside.
“Xing’ger! Are you at home?”
Zhang Xingyu blushed, looked at Jing Heguang in embarrassment, then said awkwardly: “Someone called me, I have to go work.”
Jing Heguang said: “Okay. You go.”
Zhang Xingyu’s eyes looked at Jing Heguang’s hands.
Jing Heguang looked down and saw that he was still holding Zhang Xingyu’s hand!
Letting go of his hand, Jing Heguang smiled sheepishly: “I forgot. Xing’ger, you can go now.”
***
After Zhang Xingyu left, the system couldn’t bear it anymore and ran out.
[Host, aren’t you a bit…] too shameless.
Jing Heguang touched his nose: “I really forgot!” Although no one probably believed it.
“By the way, Little yellow peach. To avenge the original owner’s mother, I have to enter the officialdom, but won’t my secret be exposed if I take the imperial examination?” Jing Heguang asked.
[You now possess the original owner, so you also got his knowledge and abilities. Once you use it, it’s absolutely smooth as silk.]
Jing Heguang listened and sat on the stool in front of the desk.
Jing Heguang picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, then wrote on the spread paper.
After the first stroke, Jing Heguang still felt the strange familiarity mixed with a hint of strangeness.
However, with the second stroke, Jing Heguang felt very comfortable, as if he was born with it!
After writing two lines of love poems, Jing Heguang carefully compared them with the original handwriting and found that they were exactly the same!
Jing Heguang boasted: “Little yellow peach, your system is quite powerful! It’s almost exactly the same. How can two different people do this?”
The system went quiet for a moment.
Then with a stinky face, it said: [I can handle transmigration, do you still need to ask about such a trivial thing?]

The shop outside.
Zhang Xingyu rushed over and opened the small window selling meat, only to realize that the person here was his good friend – Tie’ger from the escort establishment.
Tie’ger asked excitedly: “Xing’ger! I heard from Aunt Fang that you are going to marry Jing Heguang!”
Zhang Xingyu was a little embarrassed, but he still said openly: “Yes, we’ll pick a good day later to get married.”
“Great, I thought that guy Jing Heguang had bad intentions! If he’s dishonest, I’ll beat him up for you.” Tie’ger waved his fist.
Tie’ger is even tougher than Zhang Xingyu, and he had also learned kung fu from his parents.
Tie’ger also looks more like a man than Zhang Xingyu, which is why the two can become good friends. Other gers don’t like to be with them.
Zhang Xingyu looked at Brother Tie’s movements and suddenly thought of how he had clenched his fist in front of Jing Heguang before!
Did Jing Heguang feel that he is too fierce as a ger?
Probably not. When Jing Heguang coaxed him, his tone was so gentle.
Tie’ger looked at his good friend whose face was gradually turning red, so he asked worriedly: “Xing’ger, what’s wrong with you! Your face is so red, are you sick?”
Red face is a sign of fever, and fevers are difficult to cure these days. Tie’ger was a little worried.
Zhang Xingyu shook his head vigorously: “No, no. Did you come here to ask about this?”
“Are you okay?” Tie’ger looked at Zhang Xingyu strangely then answered him, “My father asked me to buy some meat, 30 catties(~39.7 lbs) of meat! A large escort group is back. They all have huge appetites, each one can eat better than the other.”
Thirty catties is not a small amount, so Zhang Xingyu happily chopped thirty catties of meat for Tie’ger.
However, thirty catties of meat is a bit heavy. If Tie’ger carries it around, his clothes will get dirty easily. Zhang Xingyu decided to help send it to the escort establishment with him, which was only two blocks away.
Zhang Xingyu didn’t expect that going out would be such a big deal.
Aunt Fang was afraid that Jing Heguang would go back on his words, so she talked as she walked all the way, now everyone in the street knew that Jing Heguang was going to marry Zhang Xingyu.
Therefore, when Zhang Xingyu walked down the street —
“Xing’ger, you are going to marry your family Heguang now!”
“Xing’ger, when is the date set? Don’t forget to tell me!”
“Xing’ger, I’ll give you a 20% discount on the wedding cake, remember to come to my house to buy it!”
…
Walking all the way, Zhang Xingyu’s face turned red from the neighbors’ teasing, so now he looked like a big tomato.
After watching the whole journey, Tie’ger finally understood why Xing’ger was so red just now!
After entering the Tie’s Escort Establishment, Tie’sger and Zhang Xingyu put the meat down.
Tie’ger pulled Zhang Xingyu and asked directly: “You were so red just now, was it because you think of Jing Heguang?”
Zhang Xingyu blushed and denied, “No.”
Tie’ger didn’t believe it, so his voice got louder: “You must be blushing at the thought of marrying Jing Heguang!”
After saying that, Tie’ger ran away.
“Keep your voice down!” Zhang Xingyu was so annoyed that he ran after Tie’ger.
***
After fooling around with Tie’ger for a while, Zhang Xingyu thought of going home, so he bid farewell to Tie’ger and went home.
However, back home, Zhang Xingyu received a new shock — Jing Heguang was actually trying to cook in the kitchen!
The customs in their county, and things in the kitchen, such as cooking, are all done by gers and women.
Even the most useless men, not to mention a scholar like Jing Heguang, would not go into the kitchen if they were not single, or they would be laughed at for not being able to control a woman or a ger. Of course, other families have men doing more heavy work outside, just a matter of custom.
Zhang Xingyu saw Jing Heguang trying to light the fire, he quickly stopped him: “Why did you come to the kitchen?! What if someone sees it!”
Jing Heguang turned around and saw Zhang Xingyu looking at him nervously.
Jing Heguang said nonchalantly: “If they see then let them see.”
Zhang Xingyu was a little helpless: “Others will talk about you, and they will say that I’m lazy.”
Why did he enter the kitchen? It’s because there’s no one, so he had no choice but to do it himself.
“Go out quickly. If you’re hungry, I’ll make you something to eat right away.” Zhang Xingyu reached out and grabbed Jing Heguang’s arm, then pushed him out, trying to push him out of the kitchen.
Jing Heguang discovered that he was pushed forward so easily!
In modern times, it’s absolutely impossible to push Jing Heguang away so easily.
Modern Jing Heguang can be described as strong and powerful. He doesn’t look fat and his body fat percentage is low, but he is definitely not light.
This original owner’s body is too weak!
Jing Heguang suddenly felt a little worried about whether Zhang Xingyu would look down on him on the wedding night.
However, he immediately thought of the system benefits he drew. With Little Yellow Peach’s power as guarantee, the benefits must be really great so the number of times would definitely not be small. Jing Heguang told himself: Don’t panic.
Jing Heguang was forced by Zhang Xingyu and stood at the door of the kitchen.
He looked at Zhang Xingyu’s back and said: “It’s not okay for men from Fucheng to enter the kitchen, our county customs are so narrow-minded.”
Zhang Xingyu smiled at him: “Different places have different customs. We are here, of course, we have to follow the rules here.”
Jing Heguang curled his lips: “I will change these bad customs from now on.”
Zhang Xingyu felt that he was bragging.
But even if Jing Heguang was bragging, Zhang Xingyu still felt very happy!
Because Jing Heguang was bragging because he wanted to help him with some kitchen work. With this intention, he was very satisfied.
In a good mood, Zhang Xingyu had a smile on his face and the corners of his lips were always curved.
Jing Heguang thought to himself: Zhang Xingyu was in a good mood while working. It must be because he was with him. He would like to spend more time with Zhang Xingyu in the future!
Jing Heguang stood at the door, but he didn’t stop working at all.
He handed him two eggs in the east and a few chopped green onions in the west, and then he sneaked into the kitchen!
By the time Zhang Xingyu reacted, Jing Heguang was already helping to collect firewood for the fire.
Zhang Xingyu wanted to push him out again. Jing Heguang smiled and coaxed him: “Anyway, the door is closed at home, who will see it? Other people’s homes must be like this too.”
Zhang Xingyu saw Jing Heguang looking like he wanted to stick to him, so thinking that no one could see it, he acquiesced to Jing Heguang helping him.
Zhang Xingyu already understood a little bit. In the past, he was so used to Jing Heguang that even if Jing Heguang did nothing, he didn’t feel anything was wrong.
Now that Jing Heguang wants to change, of course he is willing to cooperate!
Jing Heguang didn’t know that he was taking the blame for the original owner again. He just felt that whether it was love or marriage, it should be a matter of two people. Only by working together can they live a good life.
Zhang Xingyu made spicy and sour pork noodles, one bowl was large and one was smaller. The portions of various side dishes in the two bowls were almost the same.
Jing Heguang took out the two bowls, looked at the little one and asked Zhang Xingyu, “Is that enough for you to eat?”
“Ah?” Zhang Xingyu was stunned.
What did he say? The big bowl is his…
Zhang Xingyu thought for a moment and chose not to say it. He smiled and said: “There is still more in the pot! If it’s not enough, I’ll add some more. It’s no trouble.”
