Jennie got up early and ran to school after changing her clothes. Today was the day when the school will issue her diploma, but she missed her chance to take her graduation photo. If she doesn't get her certificate on time, Rosie would probably kill her directly.
Getting off the bus stop, she walked a few steps and saw Rosie at the school gate. Rosie at this time still wasn't a capable and shrewd woman like she was a few years later, she was still that non-mainstream girl with more than three colour dyeing her hair.
"Rosie."
Jennie waved her hands towards Rosie happily. Rosie turned her head and saw Jennie running towards her. Her mouth was still sipping on a milk tea, not intending to give Jennie a reaction at all. But Jennie didn't care about it anymore, with a leap, she glomped Rosie like an octopus.
"My clothes! Jennie, you're going to die huh!" Jennie's sudden attack made the milk tea on Rosie's hand spilled, staining her newly bought clothes with a brown tea stain.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss you." Jennie didn't hear Rosie's complaint at all, still immersed in the joy of meeting her friend.
"Don't give me this crap, I tell you, if you don't come out with your marriage certificate, you won't get pass me." Rosie shoved her away ruthlessly.
"I don't bring my marriage certificate, but I still have the photo, wanna see?" Jennie asked.
"..." Rosie hesitated, she couldn't care less about the spilled milk tea on her body anymore and asked Jennie, "Are you really married?"
"En." Jennie admitted it confidently.
"No way... who is it? Who are you married with? When did you fall in love? How can I not know huh?"
Rosie always thought that Jennie speaking about marriage was just to casually make an excuse for missing the time to take their graduation photo.
"It's a long story, do you remember the neighbor I mentioned to you before?"
"Of course , you said that you have a handsome girl as your neighbor, but unfortunately, she has autism."
"That's her."
"Jennie, you're crazy!"
The people who studied art had a bit of good control over their face, but surely no one would go to such length and find an autistic person just for one's face. (face = prestige)
"Don't be so excited, I'll tell you slowly." And so, two people walked side by side entering the school, Jennie and Rosie talked about the ins and outs of the matter.
After listening, Rosie's expression became more complicated. She stared at Jennie with an inquiring look and asked, "So then, did you marry her to fulfill the elder's wish or did you really want to be married to Lisa?"
"Both of them." Jennie answered honestly.
"How can you just say both... let me change my question." Rosie felt that her question wasn't really accurate, so she asked again, "If Lisa's grandma didn't die at this time, would you agree to marry Lisa?"
"Yeap." After thinking for a while, Jennie still gave a positive answer.
Granny's death just happened right at that point of time, but her original intention was still to marry Lisa so she could prevent further tragedies. Of course, if Grandma Manoban wasn't on her last breath at that time, Lisa wouldn't propose to her, but this wasn't what Rosie wanted to ask.
"Then... you like her?" Rosie asked.
Like? Does she like Lisa? Jennie asked herself, of course she liked her, but this kind of like wasn't the kind of like between couple. If she liked her like that, she wouldn't reject Lisa at her last life. But after reincarnation, Jennie felt that romantic love wasn't really that important anymore, hence her marriage became much more pure and simple.
"Like." Jennie didn't dare to tell Rosie what she really thought, otherwise, based on Rosie's character, she wouldn't just stop right here.
"Rosie, Jennie..." Rosie still wanted to say something, but their names were called suddenly by someone in front. The two of them looked away and saw three to five of their classmates waving at them. The two stopped talking and went there quickly.
"Jennie, why didn't you come when we took graduation photo huh?" Jennie was the only person missing on their high school graduation photo, so her classmates became curious.
"Rosie said that you're married, is it real?"
"Of course not, isn't Jennie going abroad next month? SG, that was the place we dream day and night."
Jennie patiently waited for them to finish, then said with a smile, "Rosie didn't lie to you guys, I am indeed married."
"No freakin way, with who?"
"Any picture? Let us see for a bit."
Someone asked this, so everyone suddenly didn't want to talk about their graduation photo anymore. They all crowded at the classroom building's doorway, waiting for Jennie to show them her husband's picture.
"I don't have it in my phone." Jennie thought, was it possible that she didn't have any feelings to Lisa before, there's just no secretly taken photos of Lisa in her phone, just the photo of their marriage certificate, but she can't just directly show that picture to her classmates.
"Who are you lying to, how can you not have your own husband's photo?"
"If there's none, then just make one ah, let your husband send you her selfie."
"That's right, that's right, let me see who's so charming and robbed our beauty Jennie as soon as she graduated."
Jennie looked to Rosie for help, but she also had the look of watching something interesting. To be honest, she listened Jennie mentioning how handsome Lisa was, but she hadn't seen it herself after all, so she can't help but has some curiosity.
"Then... I'm gonna try." Jennie's phone has Lisa's contact, but she almost never used it.
In her impression, Lisa was someone who was often living inside her own world. Sometimes when you call her, she won't necessarily respond to you, let alone calling her by phone. Jennie even suspected that Lisa absolutely won't notice her wechat.
Although thinking so, Jennie still pulled open Lisa's wechat and sent her a message.
"She's usually very busy, so she might not see it." Jennie told them in advance.
"If she can't see it, then just give her a call ah." Her classmates just won't stop nagging before they can see the picture.
Jennie suddenly felt a sweat coming from her forehead.
In the Manoban's mansion, Lisa was sitting on the balcony while reading a book. Her reading movement was extremely fast, it just took her two or three seconds for her to turn the next page.
There was a small round table in front of her where several breakfast meals were neatly arranged, but it can be seen from the cold porridge that these meals had been placed here for a long time already without being touched.
At this moment, Uncle jung, the housekeeper of the Manoban family, walked in quietly. He scanned the untouched breakfast at a glance and felt helpless, thinking that the Second Young Master had forgotten to eat her breakfast again
It's not just breakfast, but Second Young Master could easily forget to eat three meals a day. No, it didn't seem accurate enough to say that she forgot to eat, but that she just eat only when she felt hungry.
Second Young Master's perception was different from ordinary people, she often eats a meal a day, or sometimes she just didn't eat at all. Because of this, everyone in the Manoban family felt extremely worried, but they were helpless as there was nothing that they could do, because when Second Young Master was immersed in her own world, she would be unresponsive to whatever you say to her.
And the only thing he can do was to always make sure that the food was readily available at Second Young Master's hand, so when she felt hungry, there will always be food to eat.
Uncle jung took the newly prepared breakfast from the kitchen, walked over, and replaced the ones that had been cold. He didn't dare say anything but to stay for a while, turned away and walked out.
As he approached the door to a bedroom, Uncle jung suddenly heard a weird noise. he subconsciously took a look and found that the phone on the bedside table was ringing.
Uncle jung didn't take it seriously and thus didn't remind him of the phone. Truthfully, Second Young Master's phone has always been a single-way contact tool as it's only used when she wanted to find someone.
It's basically nonsense for others to find her through her private phone. Usually, if the masters wanted to find someone, they would call the house's telephone, then Uncle jung will go and get them.
" Creaak~ "
When Uncle jung's thought just turned, he heard the sound of a chair rubbing against the floor behind him, followed with the sound of footsteps. Uncle jung can't believe his own ears and turned around to see that Second Young Master actually put down the half-read book in her hand, walked in from the balcony, went all the way to the bed, and directly picked up the phone.
Did Second Young Master come over after hearing the text message?
No, that's impossible, Second Young Master has never reacted so quickly, it must have been a coincidence, Second Young Master must be looking for someone else. Yes, it must be like that.
Uncle jung thought this way, and his heart calmed down somewhat as she continued to hold the plate and walked out from the bedroom.
At this time, Lisa had picked up the phone and saw the message from Jennie: 'Can you send me your picture?'
Picture? Lisa pursed her lips and looked left and right, thinking where her photo was placed, she turned her attention to Uncle jung who was about to leave the door.
She didn't know when Uncle jung came in, and she also didn't care, she only knew that she needed Uncle jung's help now, so she opened her mouth to call him.
"Uncle jung." Lisa shouted.
"S...Second Young Master?!" Uncle jung was too excited and almost knocked the plate on his hands over.
He's not hearing it wrong, right? He's only 52 years old this year, he shouldn't be too old to have a hearing problem. Just now, Second Young Master just called him? Is that right?
Also... Second Young Master actually knew his name.
"I want to take a picture." Lisa handed her phone over to Uncle jung.
Take a picture? Second Young Master wants to take a picture? Second Young Master actually wants him to take her picture?!
Uncle jung quickly responded, the plate on his hand was quickly put down the floor as he hurriedly ran over to pick up Lisa's phone, "Second Young Master, how do you want to take it?"
This might be the first time that Second Young Master asked him to do something, he have to do it perfectly.
"Take a picture of me." Lisa repeated.
I'm so stupid, why did I ask her how she wants to take the picture? How could Second Young Master understand photography skill and poses and whatnot, her willingness to let me take a picture was already a big leap. After a while, I have to tell Master, Madam and Young Master!
"Second Young Master, the light in the room isn't good, how about we go to the balcony to take the picture?" Uncle jung suggested.
"En." Lisa obediently walked back to the balcony and stood there casually.
Uncle jung originally wanted to take a good shot and strived to make the picture as perfect as he can. But when Second Young Master stood at the balcony casually, Uncle jung's tears suddenly burst in emotion. Second Young Master just standing there so casually had already made a perfect scenery, where would she need his shit technique?
Uncle jung ' click click' took a lot of photos and returned the phone to Second Young Master, before he reluctantly left with the cold breakfast away.
With her photo taken, Lisa immediately opened Jennie's wechat and sent her own photo over. She didn't continue to read her book anymore, rather, she stared at her phone so tightly, waiting for her reply.
At that side, Jennie who already prepared her heart to not get Lisa's reply, didn't expect that she would get her reply without waiting for two minutes to pass.
"Quick, picture, open it quickly!" Before Jennie could see it clearly, some curious classmates clicked on the photo. Suddenly, Lisa's appearance was enlarged in full screen in front of everyone's eyes.
"Oh my~!"
"Sssshii~~!"
"Jennie, your life is too good!"
Suddenly, sounds of exclamation and breath inhaled endlessly fell. Although it was just this one single photo, it could explain all of Jennie's unreasonableness to suddenly marry.
Even Rosie's eyes were full of surprise. If it wasn't for Jennie telling her in the morning, she wouldn't be able to associate this handsome young girl with bright eyes as an autistic person. If one was to say something impetuous, it was worth it to marry just based on this face alone.
Jennie always knew that Lisa was good looking, but it was her first time she discovered that she's also photogenic. Lisa in the photo was wearing a casual cotton shirt, her hair was a little messy like she just woke up from her slumber. she stood against the light, her eyes were gazing intently to the front, as if looking at her through the lens.
After everyone has satisfied their curiosity, Jennie managed to get her phone back. She glanced at the silent teenager in the photo and noticed the breakfast in the lower right corner of the photo.
Frowning slightly, Jennie returned a message: 'The photo is so handsome, remember to eat breakfast.'
Breakfast? Lisa looked up in confusion, finally noticing the breakfast placed in front of her.
Lisa: 'OK'
After replying her chat, Lisa walked back to the table and started to eat slowly.
