Things didn't go as expected.

Where exactly did things go wrong?

Having left everything behind and traveled thousands of miles to Dongshi, doesn't Gu Sinian know what she wants?

He said those ambiguous things to hurt and upset her. Didn't he know that she would be upset?

“Si Nian, that’s not what I meant. Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to look down on you. If I looked down on you, why would I have traveled all the way from Beijing to Dongshi to find you?”

"Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

Gu Sinian glanced at her with cold eyes, "Going to the countryside was your own decision. Don't try to pin it on me, and don't say it was all for my sake. I don't want to hear those kinds of words again, so please don't say them again. I didn't ask you to come to Dongshi to find me. You came here on your own. Adults should be responsible for their own choices."

"And please remember, it was never me who agreed to our marriage; it was my mother's wishful thinking. And even if my mother was wrong and made you have feelings you shouldn't have, I apologize to her and to you."

"The most important point is that my mother did agree to the marriage at the time, but it was your Qiao family who broke off the marriage before we went to the countryside. We don't owe each other anything, so don't act like we're very close."

"When we get to Willow Village, just pretend you don't know me. I don't want to have anything to do with you."

"Si Nian, how could you say that? I gave up everything for you, how could you treat me like this? You have no conscience."

Gu Sinian didn't want to continue talking to someone who wasn't thinking straight; it was a waste of his breath and brain cells.

What's the point of saying anything more? They simply won't listen.

Whether he has a conscience or not, he knows it himself.

He could see clearly whether Qiao Xiyan had a conscience or not. As soon as the Gu family got into trouble, she immediately ran away, making Qiao's parents come to break off the engagement.

She was the one who got engaged, and she was also the one who broke off the engagement. He knew very well how much conscience she had.

His most important purpose in coming to Willow Village was simply to survive; he didn't dare to ask for anything else.

Gu Sinian's heart only came back to life when Su Ying came out of the station exit.

He wasn't dreaming; Su Ying didn't go to the port city, but instead came to Liushu Village to work in the countryside.

Aren't she and Jiang Yibo engaged?

Why are people going to the countryside separated by location?

Who were those two men? Why were they standing next to her, each carrying a suitcase on either side, their lecherous eyes fixed on Su Ying, making him very unhappy?

With each step Su Ying took closer, Gu Sinian's heart pounded.

She walked towards them...

She's here...

We are getting closer and closer to them.

Does she still remember him?

Ten years have passed, and that soft and sweet little girl has grown up into a graceful young woman.

You should still remember, right?

After all, they had been living and eating together for a while, and the little girl was afraid he would be bored, so she took a storybook and read stories to him, albeit haltingly.

They were really happy during that time, without any worries.

Unfortunately, those days only lasted for three short years. If it weren't for his parents' sudden appearance, he really wouldn't have wanted to go back to the Gu family.

The Gu family situation is too complicated, and his family can't protect him. He's really fed up with the infighting in the Gu family.

Those three years at the Su family's house were the happiest three years of his life. His biggest worry every day was what to eat for lunch and dinner.

Those were the happiest and most blissful days of his life.

He often reminisces about the good times they shared.

As she drew closer, Sun Xuelin immediately stepped forward and politely pointed to the large sticker he had written.

"Is that Su Ying?"

Su Ying nodded. "It's me. I'm Su Ying, the educated youth who came from Shanghai."

Su Ying confirmed who was picking her up, thanked the two passengers who were helping her with her luggage, and took out a thank-you gift from her bag.

Each person gave a pack of Hero brand cigarettes and a handful of White Rabbit milk candies, placing them in the palms of the two men.

"Thank you both for your help. My person is here, so I won't take up any more of your time."

The two men waved their hands, explaining that they had only helped the girl because she was pretty and they were driven by lust. Now, they were not only receiving a pack of Hero brand cigarettes as a thank you gift, but also so many White Rabbit milk candies. They had really hit the jackpot.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two thanked each other and left with smiles on their faces.
