"..." Chen Yifei felt nauseous.

No, being thick-skinned is a skill in itself.

After doing something like this, do you still think Chen Yifei is willing to be a backup option?

"Why don't you just die? Stop disgusting me."

Chen Yifei looked disgusted.

He was busy making pancakes in the county town and didn't have time to argue about these things.

As they walked away, Zheng Fang shouted:

"Chen Yifei, don't think you can have He Runqing forever."

"She's from a wealthy family in the city, why would she even look at you?"

"If it weren't for my help that caused her to lose her innocence, and for this expedient measure of marrying you, do you really think she would have wanted to?"

“Now that Wang Jianshe and I are in trouble, He Runqing will definitely get his quota to move to the city back. Then you'll be the one who gets abandoned.”

"Chen Yifei, you're a hundred times worse off than me. Nobody loves you, no matter who you look for. You're just deluding yourself!"

Before she could finish speaking, the villagers pulled her away and put Zheng Fang into a pig cage. She was submerged in water, sank, and then pulled back up.

Repeated torment.

When everyone saw that she couldn't hold on any longer, they pulled her up.

There's a lot of humanitarian sentiment these days; the barefoot doctors are still there, watching over things all the time, ready to help if anything happens.

Punishment should be kept within reasonable limits.

Almost immediately, the commune sent someone to take Wang Jianshe and Zheng Fang to prison.

The crime of deliberately framing others is serious, but since Chen Yifei and He Runqing had no substantial impact, they couldn't be convicted.

Wang Jianshe indefinitely postponed his return to the city, while Zheng Fang was physically and mentally exhausted. After being submerged in a pig cage, she was like a frightened bird whenever she saw anyone.

Based on this situation, the police station detained the two of them for half a month to reflect on their actions.

These are things that Chen Yifei and his group cannot interfere with. Finding evidence and providing evidence to clear their names is already something that ordinary people like them can do.

After this news came down, Chen Yifei also heard it from the Party Secretary.

He Runqing's quota for educated youth has been reissued.

She can choose to return to the city, a return that is free of any impurities.

The things that happened between her and Chen Yifei were merely between the two parties.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Yifei neither went to find He Runqing nor shared his joy with her.

She didn't even want He Runqing to come looking for her.

It was supposed to be a good thing.

But I felt a little uncomfortable inside.

Zheng Fang's words lingered in my mind.

He also felt that He Runqing marrying him was just a temporary measure.

Her choice to return to the city is far better than staying here.

This time is different from before; everything has been clarified.

A clean return to the city.

Therefore, Chen Yifei thought she would definitely agree...

I was a little distracted while making the pancakes today, but they still turned out beautifully. My third sister and I even made fifty pancakes and sent them to the state-run restaurant to see how they responded.

Chen Yifei didn't say a word, but Chen Xue, who had a fiery personality, said directly, "If you're so worried, go find her at the educated youth settlement!"

"They used to talk about everything and never argued, so why did they suddenly start having a falling out?"

"You're so indecisive, do you even know how to be in a relationship?"

Chen Yifei: "...I haven't dated anyone. But you haven't either, sister. Will you guide me?"

Chen Xuexin felt a jolt of despair; everyone in her family had zero dating experience.

After returning home, Chen Yifei's family sat down to eat together, and as usual, they lit a dim kerosene lamp.

Zhang Cuizhi said, "Qingqing brought you a boxed lunch today, why didn't you take it with you?"

Chen Yifei put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, my affair with He Runqing is cleared."

"Not getting married now won't have much of an impact. I think she'll choose to go back to the city; I heard from the Party Secretary that the quota will be given to her."

"At that time, I don't want to become an obstacle for her to return to the city."

Upon hearing this, the family fell silent.

I don't know what to do.

This... was supposed to be a good thing, so why did they feel a little melancholy after their son said that?

Chen Jianguo said, "You should make your own decisions. We're too old to control you."

"And why don't you ask your fiancée's opinion?"

Chen Yifei remained silent.

Because he himself was confused. He realized that he liked someone, but he couldn't keep that person by his side just because he liked them!

He is not a selfish person.

The regrets of my past life ultimately stemmed from my wish for her well-being, my wish for her to live, and my wish to avoid taking a life.

Now everyone is returning to their own paths.

I clearly thought about this countless times in my past life, and felt that it was good that we didn't cross paths.

But when it came to actually experiencing it, Chen Yifei really didn't want to!

damn it!

It seems they've really gotten caught up in it.

"Chen Yifei!"

A clear, crisp sound came from the doorway; one could immediately tell it was He Runqing.

His hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment.

Before Chen Yifei could make up his mind, he had already reached the door...

Upon seeing him, He Runqing ran over, keeping no safe distance as usual, tugged at his sleeve, and her eyes were wet with tears.

"I want a hug..."

Chen Yifei didn't want to hug her at first; he wanted to make things clear first.

But I really didn't want to refuse; I was too captivated by her scent.

After He Runqing hugged her, she refused to let go, getting closer and closer until the distance between them became increasingly negative.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

"I knew it was you."

"You cleared our names and made them pay for it."

"Chen Yifei, why don't you say a word to me?"
