The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 367 - 366: Using the Rest of My Life to Measure

"""

Starting today, I’m dieting! I won’t let him call me little fatty next time we meet!

Running is so tiring... I even fell asleep on my desk while doing homework at night, I need to stay strong, his grades are so good, I must join him in the best high school in the city!

The two girls that play with him are so pretty... They both have long hair, does he like long hair? I’ll start growing my hair long too.

I’ve lost a lot of weight! But I got a stomach problem from dieting and got scolded by mom... I still need to eat properly, I want to meet him healthy and strong.

My hair has grown really long too. Recently there seems to be a popular phrase: "If my hair reaches my waist, will you marry me?" Today I repeated it in front of the mirror like a fool, I’m so silly!

Mom always says men are no good... But he must be different for sure!

I seem quite pretty after losing weight, hehe, I received a love letter for the first time. I rejected him on the spot, telling him I’ve already liked someone for a very long time.

The results are out! I scored way above the cut-off! Here I come, Eleventh High, Lin Shuang, here I come! You won’t recognize me when we meet again, hehe~

I walked around the school for a few laps, and finally saw him! He really didn’t recognize me, my heart almost leaped out when I spoke, so nervous! Does he think I’m aloof?

It seems mom has caught some rare illness... We’ll go to the bigger hospital for another check tomorrow.

I ran into him again on the sports field today, as we passed by each other, I really wanted to cry in his arms. He would protect me like before, right... But the current me has dark circles under my eyes every day...

I better not go... not go looking for him.

Mom’s illness is getting worse...

Mom passed away.

These few years have been so tiring... I wish I could sleep it all away and never wake up.

I made a very selfish decision, I want to go see him, and then...

Can someone tell me in a dream... his embrace is warm, right?

Closing the last page of the girl’s diary, Lin Shuang leaned down and rubbed her cheek against Tong Yao, who was tucked in the crook of his arm.

Eyes closed, her voice was like a dreamy murmur, "...It really is very warm."

Lin Shuang gently pinched her cheek, "Ayao..."

She looked nothing like the "little fatty" from his memories, which had already become somewhat fuzzy.

But, Ayao’s voice was as soft and sweet as ever.

He bent down to nibble on that soft sweetness.

"Hmm-hmm, so you must have forgotten?"

"How could I!"

Lin Shuang laughed, "I remember very clearly the little fatty saying she would marry me in the future!"

Blushing, Ayao wrinkled her nose, "Master is so sly!"

...Actually, Lin Shuang had a nightmare that night.

He dreamt that the little fatty became his wife and pushed him into the bridal chamber.

He was so pressed he couldn’t breathe!

He woke up gasping for air, only to find Xiao Han jumping on him, calling him to wake up for breakfast.

"Ayao... You’ve really lost too much weight."

Ayao’s somewhat troubled gaze drifted downwards, Lin Shuang followed her eyes to see: the curve that could not be hidden even under the covers.

"It’s just that no matter how I try, I can’t lose weight here..."

Lin Shuang comforted her very considerately, "You don’t need to lose weight here!"

"""

Ayao leaned over and bumped her little head against him, "Bad owner!"

"I’m comforting Ayao here!"

"Humph... Owner, owner, I should count as a ’Sent from Heaven Green Plum’, right?"

"Ayao even knows such a... trendy word!"

Lin Shuang pondered for a few seconds, and had to describe it as "trendy": This is their second dimension concept, Sent from Heaven Green Plum!

Could it be that the thick-browed and big-eyed Ayao is also from the second dimension?

"I heard this term from Little Ling Meng, she said something..."

Ayao tilted her little face up to recall, and mimicked Little Ling Meng’s tone, "Green Plums usually can’t beat those Sent from Heaven, she should be considered of the Sent from Heaven type."

She pointed at herself with a finger, smiling tenderly, "So am I not the most powerful Sent from Heaven Green Plum?"

Lin Shuang smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, Ayao is a Sent from Heaven Green Plum, Wanwan is the authentic traditional Green Plum, Xiao Han is the little sister type Green Plum, everyone is a Green Plum~"

Oh no! I’m surrounded by Green Plums!

"Owner sounds like he’s advertising some kind of Green Plum snack!"

All kinds of flavored Green Plums, huh.

"Indeed, it tastes like that—I’m salivating already!"

Thus, Lin Shuang bent down and took another bite of the Sent from Heaven Green Plum Ayao.

Sweet and mushy, it’s like the taste has been infused with milk.

"Hehe... Ayao doesn’t really want to compete with Wanwan or Xiao Han for anything."

Hugging his neck, she whispered softly and tenderly in his ear, "Just wanted to say... actually, Ayao has also appeared in owner’s life a long time ago, right? I didn’t arrive too late either..."

Lin Shuang buried his face in her hair, "Yeah... And in the future, we will also create many more memories."

He gently played with her smooth hair, "Ayao’s hair has also grown a lot longer, hasn’t it."

In a daze, Tong Yao suddenly remembered many, many years ago, she would be in her room, checking in the mirror every day how much longer her hair had grown, and would daydream with a silly smile about the scene of her reunion with Lin Shuang, wondering if she’d give him quite the shock.

Would she take the initiative to confess to him? Or should she study hard with him and get into the university of their dreams? Would those two girls still be around him?

She’d practice in that mirror, which could never be wiped clean, with a silly huhs: When my hair reaches my waist, may I be your bride?

Sometimes her mother would poke her forehead and scold that man are all no good.

She would argue with reason, saying there must be exceptions, accidentally letting slip her thoughts, and her girlish secrets become known to her mother.

Upon hearing Lin Shuang’s name, her mother actually nodded: If you really can be with that boy, mother can indeed be a bit more at ease.

Tong Yao still remembers the smile on her mother’s face when she said that, so gentle, she thought she’d want to be as kind as her mother in the future.

She saw the wrinkles that appeared with her mother’s smile, and suddenly realized that without her knowing, her mother had really aged.

Time seemed to freeze at that very moment, along with the gentle sunshine spilling through the window, and her mother’s tender smile on her face, everything seemed encapsulated like amber, stored carefully in the bottom of her heart.

Tong Yao took this piece of amber up from the bottom of her heart, touching the wrinkles on her mother’s face.

Mother, rest assured, I’m really with him now.

It was as if her mother smiled and nodded, and then this piece of amber scattered like sand in her palms, with the passage of time.

Regaining her composure, in front of her was the boy she had liked for so many, many years.

The young girl’s eyes brimmed with tears, with a gentle smile, she softly but firmly spoke the words she had practiced over and over again.

"...Owner, Lin Shuang, my hair has reached my waist, can I be your wife?"
