Chapter 40 The male and female protagonists settle in love

Jinran's sudden outburst of anger gave everyone in the village the impression that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Afterwards, everyone ate in complete silence, without any of the earlier commotion. Jinran ignored it, and the educated youth gave Jinran a slightly apologetic look before helping Meng Fan back home.

The educated youth all thought to themselves, "Is this Meng educated youth out of his mind? He doesn't even consider the time of day when he speaks. Isn't this just making enemies?"

Upon arriving at the educated youth settlement, Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, and he teased, "Meng Fan, you've fallen for worldly desires, haven't you? If so, this beating today was worth it; if not, you've really lost out."

Wang Hong, a former educated youth, sternly stopped him, "Alright, things have come to this, so let's not say anything more. Meng Fan, you'll have to figure out how to handle things from now on. You also need to remember that you are an educated youth and represent the educated youth settlement. If you have strained relations with the villagers, how will we get along with them in the future!"

Meng Fan lowered his head, his face gloomy, and remained silent.

Everyone left one after another.

Meng Fan clenched his fists in anger. He wouldn't let this go so easily; he was determined to avenge this grudge.

"Is Meng, the educated youth, here? May I come in?"

Meng Fan was so annoyed that he didn't want to talk. Shen Yanhong outside the door didn't care about getting a reply and pushed the door open directly.

“Meng Zhiqing, are you alright? It’s all because of me that you’ve suffered such humiliation. My sister is just like that, especially domineering at home. I’m used to it. My mother doesn’t dare to talk back, and my father doesn’t protect me either. I’m really touched that you stood up for me today.”

After Shen Yanhong finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

Meng Fan still had a hint of resentment in his eyes, but seeing Shen Yanhong's guilty and shy expression, he forced a smile.

"I'm glad you're alright."

Shen Yanhong mustered her courage, raised her head, looked directly at Meng Fan, and asked in a soft voice, "Meng Zhiqing, why didn't you agree to Wang Dali's request today? Do you have someone you like?"

Meng Fan said gently, "Don't you know what I'm thinking? I love you. I've been waiting for you to realize it."

Shen Yanhong opened her mouth delicately, her swollen cheeks making her look even more pitiful.

Meng Fan gently rubbed Shen Yanhong's head and asked softly, "We're in the same boat today. I wonder if I'll have the honor of being your partner. Hmm?"

Shen Yan blushed and nodded in agreement.

When she left the educated youth settlement, her face was flushed, radiating springtime joy.

Shen Yanhong thought that Shen Jinran had done a good thing, otherwise she and Meng Fan wouldn't have been able to establish a relationship so quickly.

She thought that if Shen Jinran ever got into trouble in the future, she would generously help her as appropriate; she was just too kind.

"Achoo... Mom, please don't scold me. My brothers have all left, and I'm the only precious child left in the family. Can you bear to leave me? You and Dad have been working hard all day, so you should get some rest."

Wang Cuifen thought about it and agreed. The child's father hadn't finished scolding her yet, so let's leave this matter of the little brat here for today.

Jinran returned to her room with a sense of relief.

Sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), thinking about today's protagonists, I'm really dumbfounded. How did they become rich? By being shameless? It's truly baffling.

Jinran then took Doujin and Fugui into the space.

She's been busy all day and needs a good shower. Lately, Jinran has been opening several containers of blind boxes every day.

She unpacked a bunch of odds and ends, and thought she would sort them out when she had time so that it would be easier to find things later. But the prerequisite was that she had to finish unpacking the remaining countless containers.

Today, Jinran took a nice bath with essential oils. She lay comfortably in the jacuzzi, humming softly.

Doujin was splashing around in the big basin, having a great time, but Fugui refused to join in. Maintaining his aloof persona, he buried his head in his canned food.

Jinran turned on the TV in the bathroom and found that there were movies, but she was bored. She thought she would try to find some milk tea or something, since milk tea was Jinran's absolute favorite.

When she worked at a bubble tea shop, she would sometimes bring back a lot of leftover ingredients. Although some of them tasted strange when combined, it didn't stop the children in the orphanage from liking bubble tea.

The children look forward to Jinran coming home from get off work every day. If there are no leftover ingredients in the shop, Jinran will take out a day's wages to buy milk tea for everyone, just to make the children happy.

Jinran shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore. It's all in the past. She hoped that everyone there would be doing well.

And so, the person, the cat, and the dog watched the movie intently.
