Chapter 113 This is absolutely a terrible friend.

On the oxcart heading back to the countryside.

Jiang Feiyan rested her chin on her hands, recalling the scene that had just occurred.

How should I put it? This is the first time in my life that someone has confessed their feelings to me so directly.

Moreover, the other person was so handsome, and his personality suited her perfectly.

To say I wasn't even slightly tempted would be a lie.

Jiang Feiyan never thought too much about matters of the heart.

If you're destined to meet the right person, then be together; if not, staying single is fine too.

Anyway, she's rich, beautiful, and has the confidence to live a happy, single, wealthy life.

Perhaps because she had gotten along well with Jiang Xun during their time together, she didn't seem to be averse to his confession.

It will be New Year's Day 1974 soon. That day will be her 17th birthday, and she will still be a whole year away from turning 18.

So, a year is enough time to see a person clearly.

If she discovers something is wrong halfway through, she can withdraw at any time.

Jiang Feiyan is a very rational person.

She wouldn't be the type to be blinded by love.

She was confident that she wouldn't be fooled by Jiang Xun's handsome face.

Since that's the case, Jiang Feiyan decided to give him a chance.

So, this is what she told him before she left.

“We can try to get to know each other, but I can’t guarantee that I will agree to date you after I turn 18.”

These words sound like something a "scumbag woman" would say in this day and age, but Jiang Feiyan didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

Everything should be explained clearly first, so that those persistent and nagging things can be prevented from happening later.

However, given Dr. Jiang's temperament, she shouldn't be that kind of person.

Moreover, after she said that, he not only wasn't angry, but he laughed happily instead.

Even now, when Jiang Feiyan thinks about that happy look on his face, she can't help but smile.

"Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let nature take its course."

Jiang Feiyan crossed her arms behind her head and looked up at the sky.

Huh, how did I suddenly notice that?

The sunset today was so beautiful!

╰（*°▽°*）╯

......

After returning to the village, Jiang Feiyan went to the neighboring village.

Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing were overjoyed to see her arrive.

Zhou Linghui hugged her arm and kept saying in a coquettish tone, "Yanzi, I've missed you so much these past few days~"

Li Xiaoqing also took the opportunity to hug her other arm, saying with a look of dependence, "Yes, I missed you too."

Jiang Feiyan smiled and raised her eyebrows: "I'm afraid you don't miss me, you miss my cooking."

"Hehehe..." Zhou Linghui and Li Xiaoqing exchanged a glance and burst into laughter at the same time.

There's no way around it, Little Flying Goose is such a good cook, just thinking about her makes my mouth water.

"You've come at the right time. I have something big to tell you. Something terrible has happened to Zhang Pan'er's family again," Zhou Linghui said.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Feiyan asked, looking at her.

She hadn't heard any gossip about the male and female protagonists from the original book for a while, and she was indeed a little curious.

“Zhang Pan’er was pregnant, but she miscarried,” Zhou Linghui said.

Jiang Feiyan: "What happened? How could this have happened..."

Li Xiaoqing sighed from the side, "It was because Xiao Feng hit Zhang Pan'er that the child was lost."

Jiang Feiyan couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Feng was, after all, the male protagonist of the original book, and was once considered a handsome and refined person.

Unbelievable! He actually did something so hurtful to his wife and children.

Jiang Feiyan was inwardly sighing.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Linghui said, "Although Xiao Feng is a beast, Zhang Pan'er is no better."

I used to see her often chatting and laughing with the village chief's son, and everyone in the village was saying that the child in her belly was the village chief's son's.

Li Xiaoqing nodded: "That's right. I heard that Xiao Feng was furious when he found out about this, which is why he beat Zhang Pan'er up."

Zhang Pan'er lost her baby. Knowing they were in the wrong, the Zhang family didn't even confront Xiao Feng. It was obvious something was amiss.

Jiang Feiyan: ......

Good heavens, it turns out Zhang Pan'er cheated on her first.

Back then, Zhang Pan'er did so many foolish things in order to marry Xiao Feng.

Unexpectedly, she was the one who "woke up" first.

Well, the original plot has already fallen apart beyond repair.

Jiang Feiyan asked, "So now, are Zhang Pan'er and Xiao Feng still together?"

“No, they couldn’t go on like this anyway.” Li Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “They’ve already divorced, and Xiao Feng has moved back to the educated youth compound.”

Zhou Linghui pursed her lips: "Xiao Feng was out when you came. You didn't see how thin he's become."

Jiang Feiyan teased her deliberately, "What's wrong? Feeling sorry for her?"

"Pah, pah, pah!" Zhou Linghui spat several times, her face full of disgust. "I get annoyed just looking at him. What's there to feel sorry for!"

"Hehe, I won't be annoyed when I see someone else." Li Xiaoqing chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linghui immediately said, "Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Feiyan raised her beautiful eyes, a smile flashing in them: "Sister Linghui, it seems like you're hiding something from me?"

"No, not at all..." Zhou Linghui pouted, a little embarrassed, "Well... Comrade Lin Dacheng gave me some pastries the other day..."

"Oh~" Jiang Feiyan gave a meaningful "oh" and said with a smile:

"I was wondering why he left work so early that day. Turns out he was rushing to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you pastries."

It seems our Comrade Lin Dacheng has finally figured it out!

She had noticed before that Lin Dacheng was interested in Sister Linghui, but unfortunately, he was a bit of a taciturn person and kept everything to himself.

She had mentioned it subtly when we were on patrol together before.

I didn't expect this guy to make his move so quickly.

Not bad, not bad, this child is teachable.

"Yanzi, stop making fun of me!" Zhou Linghui stamped her foot, her pretty face turning bright red.

Jiang Feiyan laughed and said, "Sister Linghui, don't be afraid, just go for it if you like it!"

Zhou Linghui bit her lip, hesitatingly saying, "But...won't he mind what happened between me and Xiao Feng before...?"

Li Xiaoqing quickly said, "You and Xiao Feng have nothing going on, why would he mind!"

“That’s right.” Jiang Feiyan nodded and said, “I don’t think Comrade Lin Dacheng is that kind of person. Don’t overthink it.”

"Hmm... okay." After her two friends said that, Zhou Linghui felt much better.

She sighed, "Sigh, I was young and ignorant back then, which is why I liked someone like Xiao Feng. Thinking about it now, I feel so stupid."

Jiang Feiyan: "That's right, you were indeed quite stupid before."

Li Xiaoqing timidly raised her hand: "Ahem, I think so too..."

Zhou Linghui: ......

I was just saying it casually, but you guys really took it seriously...

This is absolutely hilarious, what a pair of bad friends...
