After dinner, he took Xue Fu home.

On the way, Gu Chong's secret thoughts were at play. Although he maintained a serious expression, he subtly probed her opinion.

"Hmm?" Xue Fu blinked. "You mean Li Jing and He Luosheng?"

Xue Fu honestly replied, "They are a perfect match."

That's the official couple! What could she possibly think? Of course, she'd sincerely wish them well.

Xue Fu couldn't help but recall how she felt when she first read the original ending of the book, and sighed, "They should be happy."

Her reaction undoubtedly gave Gu Chong a powerful reassurance, making him feel incredibly excited.

Upon hearing Gu Chong ask the question, Xue Fu softly echoed, "Indeed."

She turned to look at him, but there was no moon or stars overhead tonight, so she couldn't see clearly and therefore didn't notice the dark, brooding emotions surging within his glistening, moist black eyes.

Because of several incidents that happened at the educated youth settlement, Xue Fu now only sees it as a place to sleep every day.

Over time, she had much less interaction with the other educated youth.

When she returned, most of the other three female educated youths had already tidied up and were preparing to rest inside.

However, because of Li Jing's "major life event," the female educated youth in their dormitory had a late-night talk.

The girls only found out about Li Jing's upcoming marriage today.

Initially, Li Jing did not plan to get married so early.

If no one had seen them kissing in that unexpected way.

He Luosheng even went to the aunt who saw them kissing that night to explain to her, asking her not to spread the word, as it would damage Li Jing's reputation.

As it turns out, my aunt kept it a secret very well; her grandson is a real liar.

Yes, the witnesses that night included my aunt's eldest grandson, Xiaogang.

Xiao Gang is a big mouth.

He couldn't help but share this secret with his best friend at school.

The children are all big mouths; they can't keep their mouths shut. One person tells ten, ten tell a hundred, and the students all know about it.

Once the students find out, the adults in their families usually know about it too.

Li Jing wasn't the type to gossip, and she was completely unaware of these widely circulated rumors.

She only learned all this when He Luosheng sneaked over to the educated youth settlement to find her late last night.

When Li Jing heard this, she was quite flustered for a moment, but her attention was quickly drawn to other things.

Because her boyfriend, He Luosheng, said, "Jingjing, let's get married."

He Luosheng brought over a silver bracelet passed down from his grandmother as a wedding token and spread it out in front of her.

They actually only officially got together recently.

To be honest, Li Jing can't say she's completely used to their current relationship and status.

But upon hearing his words, Li Jing felt a strong and intense happiness.

Taking advantage of the situation in this way is not a bad idea.

At least she couldn't shake her head or say no when He Luosheng gazed at her so affectionately.

So she agreed: "Okay, let's get married."

As Xue Fu listened to Li Jing's story, she could feel her excitement and anticipation just from her words.

Cheng Pei-pei was more concerned about this question: "Have you told your parents?"

They went to the countryside, and if they marry here, they'll really have to settle down here.

Li Jing: "I haven't had a chance to say it yet."

This happened suddenly; no one expected her to marry He Luosheng so early.

"So, are you going to wait until you get your parents' notification before holding the banquet?" Liu Ling asked.

Li Jing shook her head: "The marriage certificate can be obtained later, but the wedding banquet needs to be held as soon as possible."

This afternoon, when He Luosheng picked her up from school, they discussed the wedding date.

Their relationship was quite tumultuous, and dragging it out would damage her reputation.

He Luosheng wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

The marriage certificate can be obtained after we inform Li Jing's parents of the marriage.

Li Jing thought so too.

The rumors and gossip have also affected her current work.

Today, the leaders in the commune all subtly inquired whether she was about to have a good thing happen.

Li Jing's answer at the time was: "More or less."

They have to have a wedding.

Liu Ling asked somewhat wistfully, "Okay, has the time been set?"

Liu Ling and Li Jing were sent to the countryside in the same batch of educated youth. Before Xue Fu and Zheng Peipei arrived, they were roommates for two years and got along very well.

Unexpectedly, her best friend was getting married, and Liu Ling was heartbroken and reluctant to part with her.

Although Liu Ling had doubts about her friend's decision to get married, she wondered if she really wanted to give up her identity in the city and stay there.

Are you no longer waiting for news of your return trip?

But at that moment, Liu Ling saw the joy and anticipation on her friend's face, and she couldn't bring herself to ask these questions.

Liu Ling could only wish her friend all her dreams come true and that she would be as happy as she hoped.

Li Jing and He Luosheng's wedding preparations were completed quite quickly.

Just two days later, Xue Fu received an invitation from Li Jing, who said that she was having her wedding this week on her day off and invited them to attend.

"Is it all ready so quickly?" Xue Fu couldn't help but ask.

Then she saw Li Jing's shy, flushed face across from her: "Hmm... Luo Sheng started preparing a long time ago."

Xue Fu smiled: ...What a huge bowl of dog food, falling from the sky.

She shouldn't have said anything.

"Okay, I'll definitely go."

Putting everything else aside, when she was at her most helpless moment after arriving in the countryside, Li Jing provided her with a lot of help.

Moreover, Xue Fu really wanted to witness the wedding of the male and female protagonists from the original book.

As someone who has traveled through time, it's quite a novel experience.

Many people are paying attention to Li Jing and He Luosheng's wedding.

Although it has been several years since the educated youth were sent to the countryside, there are still quite a few examples of educated youth marrying villagers. There are several such young couples in the neighboring villages.

This was the first time for Qingtang Village.

So there are quite a few people who secretly care about it.

When Xue Fu went to and from work, she was stopped by those aunties and asked them a lot of questions.

Because of Li Jing's situation, some people even started to pay attention to Xue Fu's personal life.

When the enthusiastic aunt asked about her criteria for choosing a partner, Xue Fu was taken aback by her eagerness to find her a match and politely declined.

Gu Chong didn't interact much with his peers in the village.

He and Ho Lok-sing were only nodding acquaintances.

But this time he received an invitation from He Luosheng to attend a banquet.

Since the news of He Luosheng's marriage spread and the date was set, he has been inviting everyone he meets to come to his house for the ceremony this weekend.

Gu Chong ran into He Luosheng on the street today. He was all smiles and overjoyed as he came over to greet him, saying that he was getting married and that he would like to come to his house for dinner this weekend if he was free.

After saying that, He Luosheng took two bright red wedding candies out of his pocket and gave them to him.

Gu Chong accepted the wedding candy without changing his expression. After a pause, he awkwardly uttered a couple of auspicious phrases: "Hmm. May you have a long and happy marriage and many children."

These words made He Luosheng blush with joy, but then he remembered that Gu Chong in front of him was a well-known bachelor in the village.

He Luosheng, now acting as if he had been there, reached out and put his arm around Gu Chong's shoulder in a familiar manner, saying to him, "Before I met that person, I didn't know what was so good about marriage."
