Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302: See You Tomorrow

"I mean it." Tang Jun said excitedly. "In this life, I only ever want to marry you."

The joy and excitement in Tang Jun’s eyes couldn’t be hidden no matter what.

"Who wants to marry a big dummy like you." Yuan Yu shyly lowered her gaze, her heart pounding like a drum. Her flushed cheeks were like the evening clouds at the horizon—no, even more beautiful than the clouds at the horizon.

"Fine, you’re not marrying a big dummy. The man you’re going to marry is Tang Jun."

Tang Jun held Yuan Yu’s hand tightly, his emotions surging.

Suddenly.

"Brother Tang."

The girl Miao Xin’s voice rang out. She’d finished school and, seeing Tang Jun’s car on her way back, walked up enthusiastically to say hello.

"Yuan."

When Miao Xin saw Yuan Yu was there too, the smile on her face deepened.

In the car, Yuan Yu shot Tang Jun a fierce glare, then finally smiled with crescent eyes and talked to the girl: "Girl, when did you come to Jing City? Why didn’t you come find me to hang out?"

"A few days ago." Miao Xin was very happy to see Yuan Yu.

"Oh right, girl, how’s your grandpa?"

Yuan Yu thought of Grandpa Miao, that kind old traditional doctor, that gentle old man.

Tang Jun thought to himself: Crap. He’d just been about to bring this up, but hadn’t had time yet.

Who knew it would come up like this.

"My grandpa..."

Miao Xin choked up as soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes turning red.

Yuan Yu’s heart gave a jolt, her mind a mess of wild guesses.

"My grandpa’s gone. But I believe he must be up in the sky watching over me, protecting me."

Miao Xin lifted her head and looked toward the bright blue sky, forcing the tears in her eyes back.

"I’m sorry, girl, I...I didn’t know."

Yuan Yu looked at Miao Xin, face full of apology. She really hadn’t known Grandpa Miao had passed away. Clearly—clearly his health had been very good before, how could he go so suddenly?

Yuan Yu had a lot of questions in her heart, but now wasn’t the time to ask.

"Yuan, I know you’re a good person."

Miao Xin looked up at Yuan Yu. She knew Yuan wasn’t doing it on purpose.

"Oh right, girl, we brought you a lot of stuff." Tang Jun changed the subject. This time, he’d brought some winter clothes and shoes. It was getting colder and these were essential.

Winters in Jing City were also very cold. The few padded jackets she originally had probably wouldn’t get her through the season.

Miao Xin hadn’t come along with the Tang Family, but Tang Jun and his family had prepared all of Miao Xin’s clothes and food properly. The clothes went without saying, and as for food, some were snacks, while others were things like milk powder to supplement her nutrition.

Yuan Yu followed Miao Xin to where she was staying, at the Xu Family’s place, in a sunny room on the second floor. The room wasn’t big, but had everything it needed, and it was decorated very girlishly. It was quite comfortable.

"Grandpa Xu and Uncle Xu, and Aunt Xu and the others are all very good to me."

Miao Xin explained that the Xu family really treated her like one of their own. They had never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing, and living conditions. The school was also very close. For her studies, whenever she didn’t understand something, the Xu family’s older sisters would explain it to her.

The Xu family treated her so well that she sometimes felt like she was dreaming. At the same time, there was a sense of unreality. She thought that once she turned eighteen, she’d just live in the school dorm. Even without the Xu family’s meticulous care, at least alone, she could be free.

Their kindness to her was too overwhelming; it made Miao Xin a bit ill at ease.

When Yuan Yu came out of the Xu Family’s house, she just stared at Tang Jun.

She stared until Tang Jun felt guilty. He cleared his throat, took Yuan Yu’s hand and said, "I...I forgot to tell you. Grandpa Miao passed away a while ago because of an accident while gathering herbs. He went very peacefully, and very suddenly, so I...forgot to tell you about it."

"So just now, were you trying to tell me this?"

"And did you bring me over to see the girl?"

Yuan Yu asked two questions in a row. If she hadn’t understood before, after seeing the girl, she finally understood what Tang Jun had been hesitating to say at that time, what difficult words he’d been trying to get out.

She had misunderstood Tang Jun’s intentions.

"Xiao Yu, yes, I was just trying to tell you this. But isn’t this misunderstanding actually a good thing? Look, we’ve untied the knot in our hearts, and we can be together again, right?"

Thick-skinned, Tang Jun held Yuan Yu’s hand and led her into the car. While fastening her seatbelt, he said, "Xiao Yu, let’s go find Uncle Yuan and talk about marriage."

"No, that won’t work. It’s already afternoon." Tang Jun immediately vetoed his own idea. "Tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll have my parents go to Uncle Yuan to propose."

Yuan Yu: "..."

Wasn’t this topic jump a little too fast?

They had just been talking about the girl, about the misunderstanding. How did it suddenly turn into marriage talks?

"It’s settled then."

Tang Jun grinned. Just thinking about finally winning his beauty made his mood soar.

"Xiao Yu, how about we have dinner together tonight?" Tang Jun looked at Yuan Yu with a face full of anticipation.

Yuan Yu glared at him and reminded him, "Just focus on driving. Don’t send me into a ditch."

"Relax. Your man’s driving skills are impeccable!" Tang Jun said proudly, full of confidence in his driving.

"Tang Jun, why do I feel like you’ve become so shameless? Weren’t you always cold before?" Yuan Yu studied Tang Jun’s profile. Back then, he’d always kept her at arm’s length, always cold and distant.

Now, who was this shameless man?

"I was wrong." Tang Jun admitted readily. "Before, I was in the wrong. But from now on, I’ll definitely treat you well. I’ll be like my brother-in-law and my brother, treating my wife well."

"Pfft~"

Listening to him, Yuan Yu couldn’t help laughing. With how anxious he looked, he didn’t seem like the boss of a big company at all, but more like a child who never grew up.

"I’m serious." Tang Jun said earnestly, afraid Yuan Yu wouldn’t believe him.

"I believe in time."

Yuan Yu put away her smile and answered seriously.

Tang Jun didn’t say anything else on that subject and changed to other topics, chatting all the way as he drove Yuan Yu home. When they arrived, he still couldn’t help saying, "Xiao Yu, really not having dinner together tonight?"

"No, I still have things to do." This was already the Nth time Yuan Yu had turned him down. "You should hurry home. You can still make it back in time for dinner."

"See you tomorrow."

Tang Jun watched Yuan Yu’s departing figure reluctantly, and only when he saw the lights turn on in her house did he turn around and head back to the Tang Family home.

"Dad, Mom, tomorrow we’re going to the Yuan Family to propose."

As soon as Tang Jun got home, he blurted this out excitedly, shocking the Tang Family so much their eyes nearly popped out.

"Xiao Jun, you and Yuan Yu talked it through? Yuan Yu decided to accept you?" Tang Yue was the first to react and asked.
