After My Feigned Death and Return, I Scared Away All My Relatives

Li Miaomiao, a self-abasing and socially anxious girl who was gaslighted by her family and relatives since childhood and subjected to campus violence by her classmates, one night dreamt of an immor...

Chapter 53: Rural Gossip

Li Miaomiao is most disgusted by blind dates.

Fortunately, Gao Yijun is a nice person, at least he looks nice. Whether it is his external appearance or his inner speech and behavior, he is much more pleasing to the eye than Ji Yixiang, Zhang Ge, Yang Ziyi and the like.

A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character. Li Miaomiao spent the whole night in bed thinking about it, fearing that Gao Yijun was a beast in human skin, who looked like a human but had no human qualities.

She was really a little scared because she kept seeing people like this.

Oh, why think so much? If he doesn't work out, just stay away from him.

The next morning, when Li Miaomiao woke up, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. After washing up, Gao Yijun was already dressed and sitting in the living room.

"Miaomiao, you just woke up. My uncle and aunt have already had breakfast and left some for you. Go and have some."

Gao Yijun spoke in a lukewarm tone. Li Miaomiao was sleepy and very hungry. She heated up the steamed buns and fried eggs on the table, sat down at the table and started eating.

Gao Yijun sat in front of Li Miaomiao:

"Miaomiao, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Um……"

Li Miaomiao responded while chewing a steamed bun.

"Hahaha... What's the sad thing you're thinking about? Are you worried that I'm a bad person? A pervert?"

Li Miaomiao shook her head.

Gao Yijun stretched out his big hand and touched Li Miaomiao's head:

"Silly boy, how could I be a bad guy? Let's go for a walk later. There's a temple fair in the nearby park. It's quite lively, and there's even a lion dance."

Li Miaomiao reacted with stress and hit Gao Yijun's hand. Gao Yijun felt a little pain and pulled his hand back.

Li Miaomiao really hates being touched. Ever since she transitioned to female sexual orientation, she's become even more averse to physical contact from men. And today, Gao Yijun, after only knowing me for a day or two, was already touching me. It seems I need to be more careful around this guy.

Li Miaomiao quickly finished a steamed bun and two fried eggs. She changed her clothes and was about to go out with Gao Yijun.

"Your uncle and aunt have already gone to visit. They know you don't like to go, so they didn't invite you."

Gao Yijun continued to smile indifferently. Li Miaomiao walked with him, expressionless. She hadn't noticed that a group of rural women had already been keeping an eye on them.

It's said that the aunties are a mysterious organization. If they casually say a few words about you, your name will spread throughout the village, and you will either be remembered in history or ruined. Li Miaomiao and Gao Yijun were targeted by this group.

The park wasn't far away, only a few hundred meters away. There were quite a few people here, as it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it was a very busy time.

Li Miaomiao was afraid that Gao Yijun would get separated due to the large crowds, so she subconsciously held Gao Yijun's arm. There were many things to do at the temple fair, including clay figurine makers, sugar figurine blowers, candied haws sellers, opera singers, and countless snacks.

Li Miaomiao looked at the prosperity in front of her and didn't know why she couldn't feel happy at all.

"Miaomiao, do you want to eat giant squid?"

Gao Yijun smiled and walked with Li Miaomiao to a stall selling squid. Before Li Miaomiao could say anything, he greeted her first:

"Boss, give me two big squids."

"No, you eat it. I don't really like seafood."

Li Miaomiao said, pointing to the candied haws vendor over there:

"I want to eat the strawberry one."

Li Miaomiao specifically picked the most expensive one: strawberry candied haws, wow, twenty-five yuan a string.

Li Miaomiao actually prefers eating squid. However, she was already somewhat dissatisfied with Gao Yijun's "head pat" in the morning, and now a small squid made her feel as if he was making decisions for her, which made her uncomfortable, so she did it on purpose.

Gao Yijun was a little embarrassed, watching the boss grill two skewers of squid on the iron plate:

"Boss, one less..."

"Hey, I grilled it for you and you don't want it..."

The boss complained, put one back, and started grilling squid for Gao Yijun. Gao Yijun paid, took the grilled squid, and happily took Li Miaomiao to buy candied haws. The two of them ate while shopping.

Although Li Miaomiao and Gao Yijun were walking and chatting, for some reason Li Miaomiao always felt awkward around him. What made Li Miaomiao most uncomfortable was that Gao Yijun kept trying to hold her hand.

Li Miaomiao was just worried about getting separated from him, so she pulled his arm, but Gao Yijun's actions were obviously not in line with the relationship of friends who had only known each other for a day or two. He kept trying to hold Li Miaomiao's fingers.

Li Miaomiao felt a bit tortured. After finally walking out of the crowded temple fair and park, Li Miaomiao stuffed her hands tightly into her pockets and refused to take them out. Now it was Gao Yijun's turn to feel uncomfortable:

"Miaomiao, you..."

"It's okay. It's too cold. I'm afraid my hands will get cold."

Li Miaomiao perfunctorily answered him. After finally sending Gao Yijun home, Li Miaomiao felt somewhat relieved and also went to her own home.

Having just returned to her village, Li Miaomiao always felt that the passers-by she met looked at her strangely, especially the aunties and old ladies next door, who even gathered together to point at her.

Li Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable and fled back home.

But Li Miaomiao never expected that something even more confusing would happen at home.

Li Miaomiao pushed the door open and entered the house, and saw the coffee table in the living room filled with flowers and fruits. Li Miaomiao was curious and wanted to see whose relatives sent these things. She couldn't help her curiosity and went to the coffee table to take a look.

As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. Li Miaomiao flipped over the coffee table and a bright red greeting card fell to the ground. Li Miaomiao picked it up and took a look. Huh! She rolled her eyes and almost fainted.

Gao Yijun and Li Miaomiao, two famous names appeared prominently on this greeting card, with a big red heart between them!

Li Miaomiao held the card, her fingers shaking with anger, her head pounding. Just then, her mother came out. Seeing Li Miaomiao holding the card, she beamed. It had been years since Li Miaomiao had seen her mother smile so happily.

"Miaomiao, did you go out to play with Yijun? How was your trip to the temple fair?"

"Mom, who sent these?"

Li Miaomiao's tone was obviously a bit aggressive.

"Miaomiao, what do you mean? I've been busy introducing you to a boyfriend, and you're still not happy? This is from Aunt Xue and Aunt Ding next door.

When they saw you and Yijun hanging out hand in hand, they knew that you two were already in love. So, these are the gifts prepared for your wedding!

Look how much your Aunt Xue and Aunt Ding care about you. They held you in their arms a lot when you were little. When you have children in the future, you must thank them!"

After hearing these words, Li Miaomiao's eyes turned dark and she really didn't know what to say.
