Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 416 Entering the Academy

"Brother, I'm not stupid. I can feel that you all treat me as a family member. I have a family that loves and protects me. So, whether I can still remember the past or not, what does it matter?"

"Moreover, that nobleman must be of a very prominent status. I can sense that he was once someone very close to me, which shows that he did not intend to abandon me. So I boldly guess that this may be a way for you to protect me."

Song Chunlin was speechless after hearing this. He didn't know that Song Chunming had guessed most of his life experience when he didn't know anything. He thought they had kept it a secret very well.

"Well, do you know that you might be related to that noble man?"

Song Chunming frowned and thought, then slowly said two words: "Father and son?"

The expression on Song Chunlin's face became very strange. He wanted to say that you two are of the same generation, but he opened and closed his mouth and simply stopped talking. He let the child guess for himself. Isn't he very good at guessing?

Seeing Song Chunlin's strange expression, Song Chunming realized that he must have guessed wrong, but he didn't expect it to be so wrong, so he was too lazy to go into details.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. I want to ask you one question: why don't you want to get married?"

When talking about his marriage, Song Chunming felt a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to tell Song Chunlin that he really didn't want to get married.

"Brother, I really have no feelings for other girls and boys. When I think about spending the rest of my life with a complete stranger, I feel that this is irresponsible to myself and the other person. Brother, you and your brother-in-law are together because you love each other. Although my eldest brother and his wife were not familiar with each other before marriage, he said that he decided on his sister-in-law at first sight. When you find someone you like, you can decide for life with him at first sight. But I am not as lucky as you and my brother. I have never met anyone who makes my heart beat. Instead of wasting the rest of my life with someone else, it is better to refuse from the beginning. At least this way I won't hurt others."

It was the first time that Song Chunlin heard his younger brother analyze his inner thoughts with him. It was also the first time he realized that his younger brother had grown up and had his own ideas, although these ideas were extremely unorthodox at the time.

"Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? Or, if one day you meet the person you like, but he or she has already promised to someone else, what will you do?"

Later, Song Chunming did not know that what he said today would accurately hit him between the eyebrows in the near future.

At this time, Song Chunming had not yet experienced the feeling of being moved, so he could naturally say frankly: "If that's the case, then we are not destined to be together, and I wish that person and her husband a happy marriage."

Song Chunlin thought that things had come to this point, so he decided to just let him do what he wanted. After all, lifelong affairs had to be decided voluntarily by the parties involved, and they couldn't force Song Chunming to get married.

So he asked Song Chunming about his next plans. Since he didn't plan to get married in the short term, he couldn't stay idle all the time. The family didn't need them to farm the fields themselves. If possible, Song Chunlin still hoped that his younger brothers could start a career first and then start a family.

"Next, second brother, I also want to go to the academy."

"Hmm, hm?" Song Chunlin was shocked: "Do you want to go to the academy too?"

Song Chunming nodded vigorously, his eyes full of desire for knowledge: "Well, I wanted to go before, in fact, my eldest brother also wanted to go. It's not what you said, second brother, knowledge has no boundaries. No matter how small the knowledge is, it is still knowledge. Dad and eldest brother also teach the villagers how to farm. Everyone calls them sirs in private. Second brother, you know I like watching people build houses since I was a child. Every time a house is built in the village, I go to watch. Seeing bricks and stones turn into houses that can shelter from wind and rain, I think it's very magical. So, second brother, I want to go to the college to see if I can find people with the same interests."

Song Chunming's request was not excessive. Since his family didn't need him to work, it seemed like a good idea to go to the college to learn new knowledge. So Song Chunlin readily agreed to Song Chunming's request and promised to help him mediate with the college and get a place for him.

After dealing with Song Chunming, Song Chunlin walked out of the study, picked up Song Chunxiao who was still trying to eavesdrop, and dragged him all the way to Song Qin's room.

Song Qin was sighing in her room. She had been deeply hurt by her two sons during this period. When she saw Song Chunlin coming back, she would have greeted him happily in the past. But now she just raised her eyelids to take a look and said, "You're here."

Song Qinshi completely ignored Song Chunxiao in her words and deeds. She seemed angry with him. Song Chunxiao did not dare to say a word and just stood behind his brother obediently.

"Well, mother, I just went to talk to Chunming. Don't worry about his matter. Just let it go when it's done. As for Chunxiao, I think he hasn't figured it out yet. Maybe he will be fine once he does."

Song Qin glared at the brothers in anger, "Are you still waiting for him to come to your senses? How old is he? When other people were his age, they were already married, but look at him, he is still a child. Which girl or boy in the village would be interested in him?"

Song Chunlin was speechless. It seemed that this was the key point. However, he turned to look at his younger brother. Song Chunxiao also happened to be looking at his brother, and his whole face revealed a clarity that had not been polluted by emotions.

Uh... I have to say, this look really doesn't arouse any desire to fall in love.

Song Chunxiao felt somewhat puzzled by the looks given by his second brother. He always felt as if he was being despised by his own brother. What was going on?

Song Qin was even more disappointed: "Why don't you all give me peace of mind?"
