Chapter 136 Gentleman’s Agreement
Chapter 136 Gentleman’s Agreement
"This second female lead isn't a pushover, she's a love-brained and sanctimonious bitch.
She received someone's favor and became rich. Not only did she not avenge the person, she even wanted to forgive the murderer on his behalf.
And the male protagonist has killed someone, so how can he live happily forever?
However, encountering these two types of people in real life is truly daunting. You must stay as far away from them as possible!" Tong Jia was furious after hearing Tao Junle's description.
After evaluating the male protagonist and the second female lead in the book, she realized that if Tao Junle was the overseas Chinese named Tao, then he should have come back.
She grabbed Tao Junle's clothes and asked, "Since you realized after arriving in Xingcheng that you are not that Tao Le, but that overseas Chinese surnamed Tao, then why didn't you dissuade your father from taking up his post in Java?"
Tao Junle originally thought that the little Tong Jia was cute when she was angry.
But after hearing Tong Jia's question, his mood became depressed again.
Seeing his expression, Tong Jia realized that she had said the wrong thing just now, and was thinking about how to persuade him.
Tao Junle spoke up and said, "The book doesn't mention these things. It only says that the overseas Chinese named Tao has been unwilling to stay on the farm in Guangxi Province and has always wanted to apply for a visa to Xingcheng.
But the only relative left in Xingcheng was his grandfather, and his grandmother was not his mother's biological mother.
So, all the calls home were intercepted by the so-called grandmother, and no one was told to grandpa.
His grandfather always thought that the three of them had met with an accident and died soon after.
Now that his biological grandfather is gone, his nominal grandmother will care about him even less.
Unable to return to Star City, he had some of the temperament of a pampered rich young master, and his popularity on the farm was even worse.
When people on the farm chat, they don't like to mention him.
Naturally, there is little mention of him in the book.
All the information I know about him was pieced together from the conversations and memories between the second female lead and the male lead. "
Okay, Passerby A is not qualified to have a detailed life story.
Tong Jia took the initiative to hug Tao Junle's neck, patted his back, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, since it has happened, let's face it.
Didn’t you make an appointment with someone from your father’s company to meet again tomorrow?
Then you should have a good sleep now and get enough rest so that you can better deal with the things that come next.
Look at the time, my mother is about to get off work, so I have to go out.
You have a good rest, and I will come in when it’s time to go to bed at night.
If you don't wake up, I will stay with you.
If you wake up, we can combine all the information we know and discuss the way forward."
After saying that, Tong Jia patted Tao Junle on the back again before preparing to leave.
As a result, before she could jump off Tao Junle, she was carried back by Tao Junle.
Tao Junle asked: "Is your mother still alive?"
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Alive, didn't I tell you that I solved the problem of my so-called uncle?
Now that the culprit is gone, my mother is naturally fine too.
You should have a good rest. We'll talk about the details tonight. I still want to know why she died and whether she is safe now.
I really can’t say any more now.”
Tao Junle was indeed tired, so he put Tong Jia on the ground and agreed to come back in the evening.
The two of them left the RV together, but one returned to Beijing and the other returned to Java.
Tong Jia returned to her small attic and suddenly thought of a question.
She entered the RV from this side, and Tao Junle entered the RV from Java. She didn't know if she could bring Tao Junle to Beijing directly via the RV, or if Tao Junle could take her to Java via the RV.
If only...
If possible, I can only wait until we meet in the evening, talk about serious matters, and then give it a try.
Because she had already met Tao Junle, when Qin Hanyi returned home from get off work in the afternoon, she saw a daughter who looked completely different from the sad face she had at noon.
I can't say I was dancing with joy, but I was still very excited.
Qin Hanyi thought that her daughter had been bored at home for a long time, and that her mood improved because she could go out and play in the afternoon.
Therefore, even though she got a ticket-free spittoon through her connections at the department store, it did not restrict her daughter's freedom.
Before going to bed at night, she said to Tong Jia: "Since being able to go out for a walk makes Jia Jia so happy, then Jia Jia can go out and play more often in the future.
However, Jia Jia will still have to endure the inconvenience of being locked up at home tomorrow morning.
Mom has to take the key to the mechanic to make an extra one, so that Jiajia can take the key with her when she goes out to play."
Qin Hanyi didn't dare to put the key in a hidden place at the door.
They lived there alone, with their mother and children, so even if they were from the same unit, they had to be on guard. The key given to Tong Jia had to be kept close to her.
Tong Jia, who had already planned to have a long talk with Tao Junle all night and use the morning to catch up on sleep, was naturally happy to hear Qin Hanyi's words.
After happily saying good night to Qin Hanyi, she couldn't wait to go up to the attic.
Suppressing her inner excitement, she entered the RV only after she estimated that Qin Hanyi had fallen asleep.
Perhaps because he was worried about missing Tong Jia, Tao Junle returned to the RV not long after leaving it and slept directly inside.
So, when Tong Jia came in, what she saw was a young man wearing summer sportswear lying on a flat massage chair.
A high nose bridge, rosy lips, a slightly tanned but particularly healthy complexion, and a refreshing and neat short hair.
Even though we can't see those bright eyes because he's fast asleep, we can still tell from his appearance that he's awake and must be a sunny and energetic boy.
Thinking of Tao Junle in his previous life, who always had to pretend to be a child in different occasions due to physical reasons, and was unable to speak and express his thoughts in time, Tong Jia couldn't help but feel distressed.
Looking at the boy who is now taller than he was when he was an adult, he is glad that he can not only grow normally but also has a very nice voice. He is really grateful to Grandma Rong for giving them the opportunity to meet again.
Her feelings towards Tao Junle are actually very complicated.
This was especially true after she knew that Tao Junle had feelings for her in her previous life.
However, the overall situation was very tense at that time, and she didn't know whether she could survive the next day, so she didn't have much time to think about the relationship between the two of them.
But it's different now.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch Tao Junle's face.
But when he stretched out his hand and saw his small hand which was not even as big as an adult's palm, he instantly lost all his thoughts.
If I say that in my previous life, I had received modern education and it would not be unacceptable to relationships between an older woman and a younger man.
A big part of the reason why she didn't give Tao Junle a clear answer was because she was concerned about the appearance of Tao Junle's child.
She believed that Tao Junle must also have psychological problems when he saw her as a little kid.
Do unto others, do not impose on others.
It’s better not to have this idea for the time being.
Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, Tao Junle woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a five-year-old kid standing next to him, and he was dazed for a moment.
When he realized that the person in front of him was Tong Jia, whom he had been thinking about so much, he excitedly said, "Sister, you are here.
Come sit down. Look, I've prepared paper and pen. Let's write down everything we know in chronological order and then compare them one by one.
What do you think of this approach? "
Tong Jia nodded, this way it is indeed less likely to miss anything.
only……
"Don't you think it's a psychological barrier to call me 'sister' now?" Tong Jia asked curiously.
Tao Junle smiled sheepishly, nodded, and said, "To be honest... yes.
But, ever since we met, I've always called you sister. Even though it's a little awkward, I can't think of any other name to call you."
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he lowered his head embarrassedly, but his eyes did not move away from Tong Jia.
Tong Jia said: "In your previous life, you called me sister because I was indeed older than you.
Now you are ten years older than me. If you still call me sister, other people will think you are mentally ill if they hear it.
Let’s forget about our past lives. You call me Jiajia, and I call you…”
Tong Jia seemed a little uncomfortable with the sudden change to "brother" after calling him "Le Le" for so many years.
"Okay, Jiajia!" Tao Junle didn't feel any psychological burden at all and changed his words directly.
When he saw Tong Jia calling him brother, he couldn't speak.
He also said considerately: "It's okay, Jiajia, you can still call me Lele, it's so intimate, I like it."
"That won't work. It'll be fine if family members hear it, but if outsiders hear it, they'll definitely blame my mom, saying she doesn't know how to teach a child and has taught her daughter to be disrespectful." Tong Jia thought it over carefully and objected immediately.
Tao Junle was not annoyed by Tong Jia's opposition, but his mouth opened even wider.
He felt that Tong Jia had considered the issues his mother had heard, and must be considering taking him to meet his parents. How could he not be happy?
When Tong Jia saw that the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to the back of his head while he was smiling, she knew that this man had some bad ideas in his mind again.
I didn't want to talk about this embarrassing issue right now, but I have to bring it up now.
Tong Jia stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Tao Junle's eyes, which brought Tao Junle back to his senses.
She waved her hands again and asked, "What do you feel when you see my hands?"
Tao Junle didn't know why Tong Jia suddenly asked this, but he answered truthfully: "Pretty, white, tender, and small."
Tong Jia nodded and said, "Brother, I am only five years old now, and these are the hands of a five-year-old child.
I don't care what was going through your mind just now, throw it all away right now.
Just like before, at that time, I wanted to wait until you became an adult before carefully considering some issues.
Now, I also hope that you can wait until I am an adult before considering whether you still want to like me."
In fact, this afternoon Tao Junle said that when he was reading a book in his previous life, he once thought about taking the college entrance examination with Tong Jia in the book and spending their lives together. Tong Jia then realized that this was Tao Junle's implicit confession to her in this life.
But at my current age, it is really not suitable.
Tao Junle was silent for a while, then said, "Sister, when I first saw you this afternoon, I was extremely happy. It wasn't due to any other factors, I was just happy that we met again.
But when I held you on my lap, I felt complicated.
Suddenly, I understood why you rejected me in your previous life.
That's why when I told you about the things in the book, I specifically told you my thoughts.
No matter what I look like, or what you become, my feelings and love for you will never change.
However, I agree with your proposal.
You are still young now, and you will meet many different people and things in the future. You may meet many people who are better than... better than me, just like Yang Jixia in your previous life.
In fact, I have thought many times about what would have happened to you two if Yang Jixia hadn't knocked you out on your wedding night.
But then I thought again, if he hadn't knocked you out, I wouldn't have gone to the Yang family to deliver the letter, and we might not even have had the chance to meet.
Thinking about it this way, I am quite grateful to him.
Now, the past life has passed. We have to face each other completely new.
Jia Jia, how about we make a gentleman's agreement?
Before you reach adulthood, I will not interfere with the friends you make or the choices you make.
I just hope that when you are considering a marriage partner, no, when you are considering a relationship, you can give me priority?
When the time comes, can you please not look down on me because I'm older than you?"
"But what about you? You're fifteen now. When I come of age, you'll be twenty-eight.
You…" Tong Jia originally wanted to tell Tao Junle to have a relationship when he was old enough and not to worry about her.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
It seems that I am not as generous and indifferent as I thought.
So, after a brief silence, Tong Jia nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you.
Let's make a gentleman's agreement for thirteen years.
Before I come of age, none of us should talk about love.
If I want to fall in love, I will consider you first.
Then you...you also have to remain a virgin before I want to fall in love.
If I find out that you have already talked to other people, your first choice qualification will be revoked and you will never be hired!
Do you promise?
Tao Junle was unable to react for a moment after hearing this.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Tong Jia said somewhat disappointedly: "Okay, since you feel embarrassed, then..."
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, not difficult at all.
Jiajia, let's make a deal. Before you become an adult, you don't consider relationships, and I won't fall in love either.
When you come of age, we'll be together!" When Tao Junle heard Tong Jia ask him to remain a virgin, he was initially incredulous, but then he was ecstatic.
Tong Jia is willing to make such a request to him, which means that she has her own thoughts in her heart.
So, when answering Tong Jia, he directly changed the concept and changed considering him as the first choice into falling in love with him.
Fortunately, Tong Jia did not object, which not only made him secretly happy, but also made him feel more hopeful about the future.
