Xu Xiao reached out and slapped him away: "I'll go get some water. The old man is thirsty. How about you go?"

"I'll go." Chen Bei pushed Xu Xiao to sit in the yard, poured some hot water and walked outside. Halfway through, he stopped and said, "Xiao, I have something to tell you."

The gazes he was looking at were burning, and Xu Xiao nodded lazily: "Yeah."

She also had something to say to Chen Bei.

Chen Nan warned her that not everyone was someone she could mess with, such as Chen Bei.

In his previous life, he was able to love a man and not be affected by worldly affairs. Chen Bei's seriousness in emotions is admirable.

But when it came to her, she couldn't stand it.

She wants only one.

The two men sat opposite each other, and Chen Bei spoke first: "Fang Hui is contacting his senior brother. Have you moved out of the Xu family?"

The Xu family did not publicize it, but the neighbors were all watching her carry her things to the educated youth site.

That's how it is in the countryside, any news can spread far.

Xu Xiao responded: "Yes, and I became a poor ghost."

This was the truth. She had given her money to the Xu family and didn't want to have anything to do with them. As for Ji Hong, she could only owe him money for now.

She suddenly felt that she had lost out.

If she waited until the man was caught red-handed, perhaps the man would beg her to break off the engagement. But she was anxious, and anxious people are unreasonable.

But now you have to pay compensation even if you are wrong.

She was anxious, so she suffered.

This is inevitable.

Chen Bei said dryly: "I have money."

“…”

Xu Xiao was so angry that she laughed. In an instant, she understood Chen Nan's puzzlement when he looked at her. This man was so unromantic and unable to speak. Apart from his good looks, there was no other advantage to him!

"Then do you still like my brother?" Feeling the cold air coming from Xu Xiao, Chen Nan sat on his bed nervously.

"I don't like it anymore." Xu Xiao said unhappily.

What else do you like? This guy doesn’t know how to say anything other than “I have money”.

Oh yes, when she left, this man even sent her to the village entrance.

But she doesn't need any of this!

After reflecting for a moment, Xu Xiao said to Chen Nan: "Brother Bei is not suitable for me."

It’s not that she is not suitable for Chen Bei, but that Chen Bei is not suitable for her.

That person is taciturn and has no emotional intelligence at all!

She seriously suspected that perhaps God saw that he was too outstanding and deliberately closed some doors for him.

Even though the person being discussed was his own brother, Chen Nan had no intention of defending him. Instead, he added fuel to the fire: "Sister Xiao, is this the first day you met that mute Chen Bei?"

Xu Xiao: "..." His face hurt a little.

"What are we having for dinner? I'll make it." Xu Xiao decided to change the subject, otherwise if she continued talking, she would look like an idiot.

Chen Nan had been working hard all day, so she didn't refuse. "Let's stir-fry the cucumbers. It's in the kitchen. I'm going to take a shower first. I'm all sticky."

"OK."

Two covered cucumbers were found in the kitchen, and a kitchen knife was found on a wooden board.

Worried that she had taken someone else's things by mistake, Xu Xiao went to ask Chen Nan. After getting a positive answer, she held the cucumber in one hand, lowered her eyes, and peeled the cucumber with a kitchen knife.

The cucumbers at this time are a bit old, the skin is not edible, and there are sacs inside.

The sun was about to set, and the orange afterglow fell on Xu Xiao, like a silhouette, or as if he was coated with a layer of golden light.

Chen Nan came out of the room and saw this scene. She was stunned for a moment, then walked over: "Sister Xiao."

Xu Xiao peeled off a small piece of cucumber and handed it to her: "It's quite sweet."

Chen Nan took it, took a bite, and the juice flowed into his mouth.

Cutting the vegetables was given to Chen Nan, and Xu Xiao was responsible for making the fire.

She was more skilled in these jobs than Chen Nan. Before she met the Chen family, the Xu family didn't care about her, so she could only learn to do these jobs.

I stuffed a handful of grass into the fire, put the lighter underneath, and then stuffed it in. The fire immediately started to surge.

Chen Nan couldn't help but say, "Sister Xiao, it's hot!"

Xu Xiao didn't care and stuffed two pieces of firewood into the fire. The fire was suppressed and became much smaller and more obedient.

Looking at the dancing flames, Xu Xiao suddenly remembered the person she had mentioned a moment ago, and she suddenly felt that Chen Bei was very suitable for her.

She ate absent-mindedly during the meal. Chen Nan thought she was still thinking about Ji Hong and didn't dare to say anything.

After washing the dishes, she talked about tomorrow's arrangements: "Sister Xiao, I heard that the educated youth can go back. This is what the captain said today. Do you want to leave here?"

She had wanted to leave a long time ago, and it was not her turn to go to the countryside.

But if Sister Axiao stayed, she would stay too.

"Let's go." Xu Xiao came back to her senses. She was surprised that this time was so early. But no matter what, it had nothing to do with her.

"Did Captain Xu tell me the reason?"

Chen Nan frowned and said, "No, I guess it has something to do with the higher-ups."

This kind of thing is not something she can know.

"I'll go back to Beijing with you."

Even if the educated youth could return to the city, they still had to report to their superiors and could not leave for a short period of time. It was a bit better after all, at least they no longer had to work in the fields to earn work points.

When people have free time, conflicts are inevitable.

"Ah!" A cry of surprise attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Nan ran out following the sound and saw Zhao Ling sitting down in front of Xu Xiao. She frowned subconsciously.

Someone helped Zhao Ling up and asked her how she was.

Zhao Ling was crying, looking so pitiful. She said softly, "I'm fine. It's my fault that I didn't see Comrade Xu here. Don't blame her."

Xu Xiao: “…”

Looking at the heroine's innocent appearance, she laughed. It seems that the pot fits the lid, and the scumbag must be paired with green tea.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Xiao looked up and saw the male lead rushing towards him. He stood behind the green tea female lead and angrily said, "Xu Xiao! Do you really dislike Zhao Ling?"

When these words were spoken, even the educated youth who were watching the show felt a little embarrassed.

A big incident happened some time ago. Someone was discovered on a date. The protagonists were Ji Hong, who was angry, and Zhao Ling, who was sobbing.

These educated youth were not stupid. They could see that something was wrong with the two of them, so when they looked at Xu Xiao, there was more or less some sympathy in their eyes.

Xu Xiao: “…”

Ji Hong was still immersed in his own fantasy and didn't notice anything wrong. He demanded righteously: "Xu Xiao, why don't you apologize?"

A laugh suddenly rang out. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was Chen Nan. They dispersed decisively.

They were about to return to the city and didn't want to get into any trouble.

There were three female educated youth left behind, and they were the three who had gone to the Xu family to ask for compensation.

They have a good relationship with Zhao Ling, and they don't like to talk to others on weekdays, so other people won't tell them anything about Ji Zhao's ugly deeds.

Right now they are really on Zhao Ling's side, forcing Xu Xiao to apologize one after another.

Xu Xiao glanced at them and sighed inwardly, there are still too many cannon fodders.

Even after this vicious female supporting character went on strike, she was still able to continue the plot.

Isn’t it just following the plot?

After the hero was forced to get engaged to the vicious female supporting character, she no longer concealed her ill will towards the heroine and made things difficult for her in front of everyone...

Chen Nan hurried over, chin raised, glaring at them arrogantly: "What are you doing? Do you really think it was Sister Xiao who pushed her?"

She pointed at Zhao Ling. She had no tears left after crying for a long time, not to mention that her tears were fake.

The three female educated youth realized belatedly that something was wrong. The audience had disappeared, and they were the only ones left standing there.

Zhao Ling coughed twice before speaking: "Comrade Xu didn't push me, you misunderstood."

Ji Hong was furious, and looked at Xu Xiao with some disappointment: "Xu Xiao, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. Why target innocent people?"

Some people are just thick-skinned. Even if the engagement is over, even if the relationship is over, they still have an illusion.

Just like narcissism, he thinks he is very popular and everyone has to like him.

Obviously, this is the case with the so-called male protagonist.

Xu Xiao couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. In her previous life, she gave up her bright future for such a person.

Stupid! Angry!

"Ji Hong."

Xu Xiao suddenly spoke, looking at Ji Hong with extremely cold eyes. She said word by word: "Don't forget the treaty you signed."

The contract stated that as long as he and Zhao Ling did not seek to establish their presence in front of her, she would give them one hundred yuan as compensation.

At the same time, she wouldn't cause them any trouble.

Now it is clearly they who are causing trouble.

Ji Hong was at a loss for words and forced himself to say, "Xu Xiao!"

It can be seen that this person only knows how to call other people's names.

Do you still think this is domineering?

It's quite stupid.

Chen Nan wanted to say something, but Xu Xiao stopped him: "Let's go."

Ji Hong wanted to stop them, but thinking of the hundred yuan he hadn't received yet, he couldn't stop them. Especially since he needed the captain's signature to return to the city, he couldn't afford to offend Xu Xiao.

The Xu family did not publicize the fact that Xu Xiao had left because they could not afford to lose face with this person.

Chen Nan was still very angry. It was obvious that Zhao Ling was doing this on purpose. "Sister Xiao, Ji Hong is like a blind man! Fortunately..." She glanced at him and continued, "Fortunately, you were not completely controlled by hypnosis."

Now, they also vaguely guessed that Xu Xiao's abnormality was caused by hypnosis.

Xu Xiao smiled without saying anything, she was silently going crazy.

She has really been controlled her entire life!

A knife stabbed into her body.

"Ji Hong is not as good-looking as Chen Bei." Ever since that was said, Chen Nan never called him brother again, but always called him Chen Bei, wishing he had nothing to do with that man.

In Chen Nan's eyes, Chen Bei is the type of person who is only worth looking at with his face.

Another knife was thrust forward.

Xu Xiao: “…”

"Nannan, please help me contact Brother Fang. I have something to talk to him about." She couldn't help but interrupt Chen Nan. She was afraid that if she continued to listen, she would be too ashamed to continue living.

She really didn't see such a simple truth in her previous life!

Not only did he fail to see it, he also completely humiliated himself.

Chen Nan agreed casually: "Then I'll ask him to come tomorrow?"

one day?

Even if the news was passed on, it would take several days. Xu Xiao narrowed her eyes, suddenly remembering the psychiatrist. She asked, "Is there anyone arranged by Brother Bei at the educated youth center?"

If it wasn't someone who arranged it, then there must be someone specifically there to deliver the message.

The garrison is ten miles away, and it will take half a day to walk there.
