After discussing the matter, Zhao Yulan rode her bicycle back to her parent’s ho.
Forty minutes later, she returned to the Luo family, saying her family had sent a telegram to Zhao Qiliang, urging him to hurry back ho.
That evening, as Fat Auntie and Luo Xiaoqiong were chatting with Lin Chuxia’s family in the courtyard, Aunt Zhong arrived with a pretty young girl.
“I was looking for Chuxia.
Since I found on the way, I brought her over.” After saying this, Aunt Zhong moved back a step, adopting a stance of detachnt.
Wearing navy blue gabardine trousers, a red plaid cotton blouse, her shiny black hair tied into two thick braids over her shoulders, and black leather shoes, her attire set her apart from the villagers.
After a mont’s thought, Chuxia guessed her identity and got straight to the point, “You’re here for Xue Guohong, aren’t you?”
“Yes,” the young girl said, smiling shyly while fidgeting with the hem of her blouse, looking visibly uncomfortable.
“Don’t get wrong, I an no harm.
I just want to talk to you alone, if that’s okay?”
The girl’s voice was soft and delicate, her gaze timid as she spoke, which made Luo Xiaoqiong, who was initially ready to stand up for Chuxia, feel embarrassed to say anything.
“Okay, co inside with .” Chuxia stood up to walk into the house.
The girl smiled at everyone and quickly followed.
Luo Xiaoqiong, after a mont’s hesitation, followed them in as well.
“Old Zhong’s family, what are you still doing standing there?” Fat Auntie had no patience with Aunt Zhong, who was eagerly peering into the house, and bluntly asked her to leave.
“Aren’t we relatives after all?
Can’t I try to get closer to you when I see you?” Aunt Zhong said, inching closer to Fat Auntie, but her eyes kept darting towards the house.
Fat Auntie glared at her: “Enough, you’re the type who enjoys seeing other people’s misfortune.
Better not get too close to .
Honestly, I find it odd — how on earth did that girl end up with you?”
“Just happened to run into her…”
Once the three were seated inside, the young girl nervously began, “My na is Ren Yue, and I’m Xue Guohong’s girlfriend.”
Chuxia rely nodded for her to continue.
“We’ve been together for almost two years, he’s already t my parents…” Ren Yue bit her lower lip forcefully, her eyes becoming red.
It took her a while to speak again, “I always thought he would definitely marry , but then suddenly, he made this decision.”
Deep down, I knew he wasn’t a faithful man, but I just liked him.
I thought that maybe it was a good thing, as it could help give up on him.
“But these past few days, I’ve felt so restless, unable to do anything.
I finally decided to co and talk to you, Lin Chuxia.
Do you have any feelings for him?”
Chuxia didn’t want to engage in a probing conversation, so she said, “Just state your intention.”
“If you have even the slightest feelings for him, I’ll back off imdiately.
Because I’m very clear, I can’t compete with you.
If you don’t like him, or…” She paused for a long while, then Ren Yue gave a wry smile, “I would still like to hold on a bit longer.”
Chuxia nodded.
“I can tell you categorically that I don’t just dislike him, I detest him!
I wish I never have to see him again in my life.”
“Really?” Hope shone in Ren Yue’s eyes.
“You really hate him that much?”
“Really!”
“Thank you!” Ren Yue got to her feet.
“I know it’s abrupt and rude of to co here like this, but I couldn’t help it.
I couldn’t just let go of years of relationship without getting a clear answer from you.
Thank you, really!”
Luo Xiaoqiong couldn’t help but say, “I’m puzzled, knowing his philandering ways, what will you do when he sets his sights on another girl in the future?”
Ren Yue gave a resigned smile, “I trust that by then, I’ll be willing to let go.
Thank you both for your ti, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.” Chuxia waved her off without getting up.
After a brief hesitation, Ren Yue left the house.
“How could she love such a man?” Luo Xiaoqiong murmured, “Xue Guohong is not worthy of her at all.
Why would she do this for him?”
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
…
The next day, as Chuxia was working in the fields with Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, Xue Guohong ca to her.
His attitude had completely changed from the huffy departure the other day.
He kept apologizing to Chuxia, assuring her with slaps to his chest that he had completely broken off with Ren Yue and begging her to believe in his fidelity.
His actions made Chuxia think better of Ren Yue.
With such forthrightness, Xue Guohong didn’t deserve her.
However, this was none of her concern, since everyone’s happiness was in their own hands.
Seeing Chuxia’s indifferent deanor and unwilling to engage with him, Xue Guohong resorted to drastic asures: “I know you’ve applied to be selected as a female soldier.
My father has significant influence there.
If we get engaged now, I guarantee you’ll be selected.”
“Whatever,” Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat at his words, but her face remained expressionless.
She looked at him calmly.
“You deliberately ca here to find , and I’m well aware of your intentions.
So, do whatever you want, I don’t care.”
Unable to restrain herself, Luo Xiaoqiong rushed over to speak up for Chuxia: “You should have so dignity.
Knowing Chuxia hates you, why do you keep doing things that hurt both of us?”
“Mind your own business!” Xue Guohong glared at her, but when he turned back to Chuxia, his face was all smiles again, “I have patience, and I don’t mind that my future wife cos from the countryside.” (To be continued.
