Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 224: Let’s Get Married

No choice, he was extremely angry but couldn’t bring her back, and now it’s too late to chase after her. He could only pray that the girl would get home safely, without any accidents on the way.

Zhang Yuan was fuming with anger, and Lin Xue was feeling a bit guilty. She originally thought that since she wasn’t afraid to go back by herself, she wouldn’t bother him.

But after seeing Zhang Yuan get so angry, she felt a bit guilty. Everything was going well, coming over to meet the parents, but leaving without saying goodbye seemed inappropriate.

Now it’s too late to say anything, she’s already on the train and can’t get off to return. She could only brace herself and move forward, planning to send a telegram to let them know she’s safe once she gets home.

The journey back was smoother than when she came. The people in her compartment were both men and women and seemed to know each other. Other than someone trying to switch seats with her right after boarding, nothing else happened.

She continued to secretly enter the space to improve her meals. The boxed meals on the train were still so unappetizing, but watching others eat heartily made her wonder if it was just her who found them unappetizing.

After chugging along on the train for five or six days, she finally arrived at Chenxi County by noon.

Once she got off the train, she quickly went to send a telegram to inform them of her safety.

During these days, she was very cautious, entering the space only when Zhang Yuan wasn’t around. If he was around, she wouldn’t go in, enduring hunger or eating the boxed meals or the food she brought out.

She was afraid that Zhang Yuan would get upset with her again. She didn’t want to be scolded. She thought it would be better to let him calm down, meet him once she arrived, and he wouldn’t be able to say anything after that.

A guilty conscience is like this. After boarding the train, she regretted leaving without saying goodbye. Since she felt she did something wrong, it must have been wrong, hence her guilty conscience.

When they received her telegram of safety, the old lady couldn’t help but cry.

"How could this child be so sensible? To avoid affecting Xiao Yuan’s work, she left without saying goodbye. Fortunately, she arrived safely, and now I can finally be at ease!"

The old man sat nearby, nodding repeatedly. He thought more deeply, considering how tough her life must have been to become so sensible.

When Zhang Yuan received the telegram, he went upstairs, locked the door, and applied to enter the space.

In recent days, he kept going in to keep watch, but it seemed like he scared the girl, so she wouldn’t appear. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

However, he knew that her allowing him into the space proved the girl was fine; she simply didn’t want to see him.

This time, when Lin Xue received Zhang Yuan’s request, she went upstairs to her room and entered the space.

Upon getting off the train, she returned to the small western-style building and didn’t plan to go back today.

"Finally willing to see me?" Although most of Zhang Yuan’s anger had dissipated, he still spoke with a hint of displeasure. Seeing the little girl before him, perfectly fine, finally put his mind at ease.

"Hehe... see, I’m back safe and sound, aren’t I? You were so distrusting of me!" Lin Xue giggled as she walked toward Zhang Yuan, carefully trying to appease him.

When she got close, Zhang Yuan hugged her tightly, his breath carrying a tinge of fear.

These past few days, he had been so worried that he couldn’t sleep or eat properly, fearing something might happen to the little girl mid-journey.

Holding her truly in his arms now finally made him feel somewhat grounded.

Lin Xue gently patted his back to comfort his agitation. She knew how worried he was, which is why every time he wanted to enter the space, she allowed him to, to prove that she was fine.

"Little girl, you mustn’t run away again. I don’t want to experience this feeling a second time! Understood?" After a long while, Zhang Yuan lifted his head from her shoulder and looked straight at her, speaking sternly.

"Alright, I know. Actually, as soon as I got on the train, I regretted it. I’m sorry! I’ve also worried grandpa and grandma!" Lin Xue responded obediently.

"Yes, you did worry them. Both of them, along with me, couldn’t eat or sleep well. The house has been gloomy these past few days, and nobody dared speak loudly!" Zhang Yuan tapped her nose. Though he was angry about her running away, he couldn’t really blame her. He spoke with indulgence.

"I was afraid you’d be troubled going back and forth. By the way, Brother Yuan, when are you going back over there?" Lin Xue was worried about him going back and forth too much. Long-distance travel is no joke, aside from the exhaustion, his teacher was also urging him over there.

"Just these few days. Now that I know you’re safely home, I’ll head over! The teacher almost can’t wait any longer!" Zhang Yuan nodded.

"This space can’t bring you out; otherwise, I could bring you out and make a delicious meal for you!" Lin Xue suddenly said.

"You should hurry up and freshen up, and have a nice sleep! Leave the gourmet meal to me! I’ll have someone make it and send it in for you to eat!" Zhang Yuan said tenderly, looking at the exhausted little girl.

"Have someone make it? Won’t they find out?" Lin Xue expressed some concern.

"They won’t. They all know I haven’t been eating well these days. Now that you’re safely home, I’m reassured. It’s normal to have them make something tasty!"

After Lin Xue took a hot bath and had a restful sleep on the soft bed in the lounge, she woke up to find it already past eight.

She hastily packed up and then let Zhang Yuan in. He had applied to enter while she was sleeping, but she only let him in after waking up. She kept complaining that the entry process was too cumbersome, requiring applications and whatnot.

By the time Lin Xue finished eating and was feeling comfortably full, it was already nine-thirty.

"So full!" Lin Xue rubbed her belly, immensely satisfied.

"You won’t be able to eat this for quite a while now, girl. Once I get out... shall we get married? I can’t handle this separation anymore! I don’t want to be apart from you for even a moment!" After saying this, Zhang Yuan surprisingly lowered his head in embarrassment.

Lin Xue listened to this cheesy confession, but instead of finding it funny, her heart pounded nervously like a drum.

Zhang Yuan waited for a while without hearing a response from the little girl. Suddenly, he lifted his head to see her face blushing as well, which reassured him a little. His gaze questioned as he looked at her.

"Zhang Yuan, I’m only sixteen. I’m still young!" Lin Xue said quietly.

"You’re not too young. If you think you’re still young, we can get married first and do nothing else!" Zhang Yuan said anxiously.

He just wanted to keep the little girl by his side, so he could truly be at ease.

"You’re so outstanding, and I’m just a little farm girl. How can I marry you now? At the very least, I have to wait until the day I can match you before I marry you!" Lin Xue refused.

"What do you mean, ’the day you can match me’? You’re already a match for me! Little girl, stop finding excuses! We’re already engaged! Now you’re telling me you need to wait for this or that, telling you now! I won’t accept this excuse!" Zhang Yuan turned his head, pouting a bit.

"The engagement is because I want to keep you booked, and then strive to become someone worthy of you before marrying you! At least not now, you’ve graduated college, and I’m only a middle school graduate. I should at least get into college myself..."

"Stop right there! The college entrance exam is currently suspended. If they never allow us to take the exam again, how long are you planning to wait?" Zhang Yuan said fiercely.

Lin Xue almost blurted out that it’d only be seven more years before she could take the college entrance exam. Thankfully, she reacted quickly and covered her mouth.
