Chapter 165 My Heartfelt Blessings to You

"Huh? Miya, why are you pulling me like that?"

Miya sighed and, under Jiang Yan's questioning gaze, asked, "What will happen to your brother Jiang Shang if Zhu Zhu goes back to the city?"

Good heavens, Jiang Yan was speechless after hearing this.

With a quick glance around, he said, "Never mind, let's talk to Sister Zhu first. Maybe if Sister Zhu goes back, Brother Jiang Shang can go back with her."

"Okay then." Miya thought this made sense, so she didn't stop them.

Zhu Zhu felt conflicted upon hearing the news, but in the end she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't participate." Although the work was a bit tough, she felt she could endure any hardship as long as she was with Jiang Shang.

"Sister Zhu Zhu, let's go back to the city. It's so comfortable in the city, unlike now where I'm so tired every morning that I can't even get out of bed."

"Jiang Yan, I know you mean well, but let's just forget about it."

"Are you really not going to try?"

Zhu Zhu shook her head.

Jiang Yan was a little disappointed, but then she thought that this was something Zhu Zhu was capable of doing, so she couldn't help but pat Zhu Zhu on the shoulder: "You've sacrificed so much for my brother Jiang Shang. If he treats you badly in the future, just tell me, and I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

"Girls shouldn't be so wild. They should be gentle so they can find a good husband."

“I’ve always been like this since I was a child. Are you sure I can be gentle?”

Zhu Zhu paused for a moment.

Jiang Yan chuckled and said, "Since you're not going to fight for it, let's just watch the show."

Thinking about the upcoming competition for places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, Jiang Yan's lips curled into a wide smile; she felt there was going to be some excitement.

Jiang Yan never expected that although the commotion was spectacular and quite significant, it was still related to them.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yan wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she hear such news? She asked again, her eyes fixed on Mi Ya.

Miya felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but the matter was indeed shocking, so she could only repeat herself: "Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang are together."

"No, you're lying to me, right?" Jiang Yan shook her head.

Miya pursed her lips: "Many people saw it. Jiang Shang carried Qin Jiajia out of the mountains."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but take a step back, her mind immediately turning to Zhu Zhu, when she suddenly saw the figure standing beside her: "Zhu, Sister Zhu Zhu..."

Miya hadn't expected Zhu Zhu to be there. It seemed she had heard what she said, and she scratched her face guiltily, saying, "Zhu Zhu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Zhu Zhu didn't say anything. Her eyes were staring blankly into the air. After a long while, she seemed to regain her senses and said, "What did you say? Sorry, I have something to do. I'll go out for a bit." After saying that, she hurriedly ran out the door.

Jiang Yan was worried about her and quickly followed.

Zhu Zhu didn't know where she wanted to run to; she just wanted to find a secluded place to cry secretly.

Jiang Yan's pursuit only caused her to lose track of the person.

Finally, she stamped her foot and decided to go find Brother Jiang Shang and ask him for clarification. As for Qin Jiajia, she was usually so quiet, but I never expected that she would be with Brother Jiang Shang. That person is too bad. She clearly knew that Brother Jiang Shang and Sister Zhu Zhu were a couple, so why did she interfere in their relationship?

When Xiao Taohua arrived, she saw Zhu Zhu running away. Jiang Yan stamped her foot, turned around, thought for a moment, and then followed behind Zhu Zhu.

Well, she didn't follow others on purpose; she mainly heard about Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang being together.

Everyone in the production team knew that Zhu Zhu and Jiang Shang were a couple. After all, from the very first day, Comrade Jiang Yan had been tirelessly spreading the word. No matter what, in other people's eyes, the two of them would always be together. No one knew that Qin Jiajia would be there in between.

Goodness, they've gotten quite gossipy already.

Everyone thought Qin Jiajia was immoral.

Little Peach Blossom's understanding on the panel is as follows: Seeing that person, I knew I truly loved him. I couldn't bear it anymore. Why couldn't those who loved each other be together? So, when he came to me again, I finally accepted his pursuit, wanting to be his life partner. Therefore, Comrade Zhu Zhu, I'm sorry. I hope you can grant my wish. Without Jiang Shang, with your excellent qualities, you can definitely find an even better partner. I sincerely wish you all the best.

I sincerely wish Little Peach Blossom well. I didn't realize anything was wrong, and the things recorded on the panel were also strange.

However, there is one point that Xiao Taohua agrees with: without Jiang Shang, Zhu Zhu could indeed find a better partner given her qualities. In any case, Xiao Taohua never thought that Comrade Jiang Shang was a good partner.

Judging from Xiao Taohua's criteria for finding a partner, Jiang Shang was not even considered from the start.

As for those other complicated love and romance matters, sorry, she really doesn't understand. Simple things become more and more complicated the more you read the description, enough to make anyone dizzy.

Comrade Zhu Zhu seemed to have no sense of direction; she wandered around until she ended up outside the production team and eventually went up the mountain.

Little Peach Blossom was silent for a moment, then followed.

Zhu Zhu ran for a long time, and only when she felt that the surroundings were quiet enough did she finally sit down on the ground, hug her knees, bury her head in her knees, and cry softly.

Actually, she had long suspected that there was something going on between Jiang Shang and Qin Jiajia, but she was deceiving herself and thinking that she was just overthinking things.

But self-deception will eventually be exposed, which is why Zhu Zhu ran away without thinking after hearing the news instead of confronting Jiang Shang.

She didn't dare to face it.

Little Peach Blossom walked over and gently sat down next to Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Zhu, who had been crying for a long time, finally raised her head. When she saw the little peach blossom, she couldn't hold back her tears and wiped them away with her hand: "I'm sorry."

Little Peach Blossom tilted her head and looked at her: "Why are you apologizing?"

In her limited observations, Xiao Taohua felt that Zhu Zhu was always apologizing, either to herself or to Jiang Yan, even though she hadn't done anything wrong most of the time.

Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment.

"You didn't do anything wrong, so why are you apologizing? And why are you crying? Shouldn't you be rushing to that couple and denouncing them for betraying you? Why are you running off to the mountains alone and crying?"

Little Peach Blossom truly didn't understand. Everyone around her, from her daily life to the people around her, told her that if a man wasn't right, a woman should go after him, and do so with a clear conscience. But this Comrade Zhu Zhu was different; she hid away and cried.

Seeing that Zhu Zhu didn't respond, Xiao Taohua pouted and said, "You're too weak."

Zhu Zhu moved her lips, weakly protesting, "I...I didn't..."

"Then you should go find that couple now with a clear conscience."

Zhu Zhu paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"See, you apologized again."

Little Peach Blossom stood up and pointed to the grass beside her: "What do you think of how these grasses are growing?"

Zhu Zhu didn't know how the topic had turned to this, but she glanced at the grass that Xiao Taohua was pointing to and said, "It's growing very well."
