Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Allowing Early Love_1 Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Allowing Early Love_1 “Because they’ll start fighting to claim the top spot, you should see them when they fight, it’s hilarious.”
Nan Fei: “…”
So you’re actually the darkest, most cunning big shot around!
“By the way, I noticed you seemed upset just now. Did something troublesome happen?” You’ve just been named the top scholar in the province and should be enjoying married bliss, but instead, you’re sitting alone in a park, deep in thought.
Upon being asked this question, Nan Fei’s face flushed slightly, she bashfully replied: “No…nothing’s wrong!”
Dai Jinhai looked at her with a don’t-you-lie-to-me expression.
Not wanting to upset the respected elderly gentleman, Nan Fei hesitantly said: “I’ll tell you, but you must promise not to laugh at me.”
“Alright!” He had to give this young woman a pep talk today! The nation can’t afford to lose such a talent.
“Actually, I’ve been heartbroken.”
“You, as pretty as you are, suffered a heartbreak?” Dai Jinhai clearly couldn’t believe it.
Nan Fei: “…”
Did the old man’s point of concern take a wrong turn?
“Aren’t you going to scold me for dating too young?” As a teacher, the last thing you like is students falling in love, right?
Dai Jinhai pulled a face, “Is that how I come across to you, a unreasonable old man? I tell you, just because I’m old doesn’t make me confused, nor conservative.”
Nan Fei’s eyes lit up. She’d always felt a sense of fondness for this low-key elder. It seems her intuition wasn’t wrong.
She remembered in her past life when Yu Jingyi criticised her for painting soulless, talentless, and money-driven works, it was Dai Jinhai who had encouraged her.
He said any effort is worthy of respect.
Any hard work deserves praise.
Any creation deserves everything good.
She still remembers these words till now.
Dai Jinhai didn’t notice Nan Fei’s expression, and said earnestly: “It’s normal for young people to fall in love. If not now, do they have to wait until they’re old? By then, even the most touching love will have the taste of decay.”
“And besides, since your academic performance is so good, it hasn’t affected your studies, so what’s wrong with having a relationship?” Only after saying this did Dai Jinhai recall that she’d just revealed her heartbreak, he awkwardly coughed, “How…how did you end up heartbroken? I still can’t believe it.”
“I’m old now, but were I few decades younger, I’d definitely be pursuing you.”
Dai Jinhai thought to himself, he should introduce his grandson to her. The sight of such a beautiful girl would probably make his rascal of a grandson stop in his tracks. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, thinking his grandson wasn’t exactly a good catch. Nah, forget it!
Too bad! That boy certainly doesn’t deserve such an outstanding girl.
Nan Fei was frustrated and didn’t want to confide in Sister Chen and the others, so she simply told Dai Jinhai about her situation with Huo Beijiang. Her heart, which had been heavy, surprisingly felt tranquil after she finished speaking.
