Chapter 008

When I returned to the dormitory, everyone else hadn't come back yet.

Chuxia naturally didn't wait for them. She quickly washed up and went to bed.

Although she was very tired after a busy day, she did not fall asleep immediately after lying down.

When I’m busy during the day, I don’t have time to sit down and think about so many things. Now that there’s no one else around me, my whole body relaxes when I lie down, and my mind naturally becomes active.

She lay in the night blinking slowly.

Naturally, what I was thinking about in my mind was still related to the content of the extra novel.

After experiencing the two events of partnership and letting the teacher, she is now more certain that the content of the novel is true.

The current situation is that she knows the full content of the novel and has awakened her self-awareness, but when it comes to the main plot related to Han Ting, she is still bound by the original settings.

In front of Han Ting, she couldn't refuse his request to her.

However, through these two times, we can also know that Lin Xiaohan can help her break free from this confinement.

The first time she said she refused to form a partnership was when she was looking at Lin Xiaohan, and the second time was when he suddenly appeared, and she said she refused to give up the teacher position to Su Yun.

She pondered, was it because Lin Xiaohan and Han Ting were born opponents, never getting along in their entire lives, and in the end, they were at loggerheads and it was a case of only you and no me, so Lin Xiaohan would affect the constraints of the setting on her?

There is a concept of human magnetic field in the novel.

If this statement is applied to her, Han Ting and Lin Xiaohan, then the magnetic field of Lin Xiaohan will affect the effect of Han Ting's magnetic field on her.

If she follows this line of thought, then as long as she gets closer to Lin Xiaohan and absorbs more of his magnetic field energy to offset the magnetic field energy left by Han Ting on her, she can slowly get rid of Han Ting's influence on her?

If this is true, then she can't continue to do what she did today, avoiding being with Lin Xiaohan in everything she does, and staying as far away from him as possible. She had to be close to him, spend more time with him, and the closer the better.

Thinking of this, and then thinking of Lin Xiaohan's face, Chu Xia's expression darkened.

For someone like Lin Xiaohan, who on earth would be so foolish as to approach him and spend more time with him?

Chu Xia weighed the pros and cons in her mind: which one was more acceptable: being bound by the original setting and following the plot, dedicating her life and all her assets to Han Ting, or getting close to Lin Xiaohan?

Obviously, the latter is more acceptable.

She didn't need to do anything to Lin Xiaohan, she just needed to get close to him.

So Chuxia took another deep breath to cheer herself up.

As long as she can get rid of the constraints of the novel's setting, let alone being close to Lin Xiaohan in terms of spatial distance, even if she is asked to call him brother every day, she will do it!

Of course, these are all her own speculations.

She planned to give it a try next, and try to stay with Lin Xiaohan as much as possible to see if there would be any changes.

After thinking this way, Chuxia felt relieved temporarily.

Just at this time, the others came back, chatting and washing up, and the dormitory became a little lively.

Chuxia had behaved in so many "abnormal" ways in the past two days that a gap had been created between her and them, and she had also gone to bed, so she didn't say hello to them.

Naturally, Li Qiao and the others did not say hello to Chu Xia.

Just pretend that she is not there in the dormitory and chat about your own things while getting ready.

Gu Yuzhu untied her braids and combed her hair and said, "When I think about getting up tomorrow morning to go to work and apply fertilizer, I feel overwhelmed."

Li Qiao continued her words: "Whose head is not big? It stinks to death."

Gu Yuzhu stretched out her tone again, "I am lucky. I don't have to do these jobs anymore."

It was obvious who he was referring to. Li Qiao continued, "She's not the only one who's lucky. Su Yun has Han Ting to protect her. Although she goes to the fields every day, she doesn't do any work at all."

Chen Sisi suddenly whispered, "You say, Han Ting is so good to Su Yun, and Chu Xia listens to Han Ting in everything. Is it possible for Han Ting to let Chu Xia give up the opportunity to be a teacher to Su Yun?"

Gu Yuzhu: "It is only right to give it to Su Yun. In terms of ability, Su Yun is more suitable to be a teacher. And if we give it to Su Yun, Su Yun and we are partners, which is a good thing for us."

Li Qiao nodded after hearing this.

Although Han Ting helps Su Yun with her work every day, the work points he earns are not many. Su Yun earns very few work points, which can be regarded as always holding them back.

If Su Yun became a teacher, had a fixed salary, and joined the company with the salary, it would indeed be a good thing.

Hearing this, Chu Xia couldn't help but said, "Don't dream, I won't give it to you. I have worked hard to earn my chance, and I won't give it to someone who only wants to get something for nothing."

Hearing her speak, Li Qiao, Chen Sisi and Gu Yuzhu were all stunned.

Then Chen Sisi laughed and said, "Chuxia, you haven't slept yet?"

Chu Xia: "Just about to go to bed."

A look of embarrassment crossed Chen Sisi's face.

Gu Yuzhu didn't feel embarrassed and said, "You work hard in the fields. What does that have to do with being a teacher? Does being able to do farm work mean you can be a teacher?"

Chu Xia: "Yes, that's what the village said, that's what the brigade cadres think. If you're unhappy, you can go and protest to the brigade secretary and the brigade leader. If you have the guts, you can ask them to give you the opportunity to be a teacher."

Bang!

Gu Yuzhu was so angry that she slammed the comb in her hand on the table.

She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any strong rebuttal, so she held her breath and picked up the comb again.

Chen Sisi couldn't help but speak at this moment.

She smiled and asked carefully, "Chuxia, what happened to you these past two days? Why did you suddenly become so..."

Chuxia naturally knew that the next word she would say would be "sarcastic" or something like that.

Chen Sisi didn't want to say it directly, she replied: "Nothing, I just suddenly realized a saying, good people are often bullied, I don't want to be a soft persimmon and a sucker anymore."

The facts before our eyes also prove this.

The more people give silently, the more others will take it for granted.

Not to mention that you won’t get anything in return, if one day you suddenly don’t want to give anymore, you will also be criticized, picked on and blamed.

Chen Sisi smiled again and said nothing more.

Su Yun happened to come back at this time. Chen Sisi quickly turned around to greet her and ended the conversation with Chu Xia.

After that, none of the four people mentioned the topic of early summer again.

They talked about something else and the atmosphere in the dormitory soon became relaxed again.

Gu Yuzhu combed her hair.

Before going to bed, I often complain: "When will this day end? I miss home so much that I can't stand it every day."

Li Qiao continued her words, "I guess there is no end to it."

Gu Yuzhu lay down and sighed, "Are we really going to live here forever?"

I go to the fields every day, I don't eat well or sleep well, there is no place to play and no electricity, and apart from working I can only chat a few words, it's really a hopeless life.

Chen Sisi added: "The household registration has been moved here, so that should be the case. I heard that many old educated youth have married and had children in the countryside and can't go back at all."

Gu Yuzhu took a deep breath and said, "It's impossible for me to find someone to marry and have children in the countryside anyway."

Li Qiao echoed her words, "I don't want it either. I can't stand the thought of it."

They chatted for a while and then turned the topic to Su Yun.

Gu Yuzhu smiled and asked Su Yun: "Hey, Su Yun, when do you plan to marry Han Ting?"

Su Yun blushed when she heard this, and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Han Ting and I are just good friends, not the kind of relationship you think."

Gu Yuzhu naturally didn't believe it, and continued to say with a smile: "Do you think we are fools or blind? The two of you are flirting with each other all day long, even a blind person can see it."

Su Yun came to the bed and covered Gu Yuzhu's mouth, saying to her, "Go to bed quickly."

Gu Yuzhu pulled Su Yun's hand away and continued, "I'm serious. A man as manly and charming as Han Ting is the most popular with girls, but it's also the hardest for girls to be devoted to him. You have to hold on to him, otherwise he might be snatched away by someone else."

Chu Xia didn't say anything while they were laughing and chatting.

She didn't fall asleep either, and continued to think silently while lying on the bed.

She was not thinking about what happened between Su Yun and Han Ting, but about things related to the times.

They were chatting just now and said they wanted to live in the countryside for the rest of their lives.

Chuxia herself had felt the same before. This was the current state of the world. Policies were like mountains, and most of the educated youth had settled down in the countryside and could not go back.

But now she has more novel content in her mind.

Judging from the background described in the novel, the society they live in will not always remain unchanged as it is now.

In the near future, many policies will change.

The college entrance examination system, which has been suspended for ten years, will be restored. Everyone can take the college entrance examination, and the educated youth will no longer be restricted and can return to the city freely.

This was followed by "Reform and Opening Up".

The social environment will undergo earth-shaking changes.

By that time, doing business was no longer a big sin of speculation, self-employed individuals could exist upright, and many unemployed people could find ways to do business and make money.

Some self-employed individuals became rich first, and thus the new term "ten thousand yuan household" emerged.

Later, as policies were gradually relaxed, society developed at a rapid pace. High-rise buildings sprang up, and many people lived in buildings and had access to telephones.

Later on, everyone had a computer and a mobile phone, and colorful cars were running all over the place after filling up gas.

In addition to the green trains, there are also faster high-speed trains on the tracks, and it is also very convenient to travel by plane.

And all of these, of course, were beyond Chuxia's imagination.

With her current knowledge and perspective, she could not imagine what the scene would be like.

After all, she has not experienced anything that has not happened in the novel.

Just based on the description and imagination, I think it's too exaggerated.

If you think too much, it may even seem like a fantasy.

But no matter how unimaginable it is, it will happen.

Then she thought again, when the country continues to issue new policies, will she be able to catch the express train of the times, build her own career in the development of the times, and become one of the first people to get rich?

In the novel, the people who got on this express train were Lin Xiaohan and Han Ting.

The reason why Han Ting was able to get in touch with her was because she gave all her family property to help him start a business.

Thinking of this, Chuxia couldn't help feeling suffocated.

Since she has the ability to start a business, why doesn't she start her own business and build her own career, but instead gives all the resources and opportunities that should belong to her to Han Ting?

Is being the woman behind a successful man the real success for a woman?

She doesn't want this kind of success now, it's a deceptive success.

Chuxia turned over in bed and turned sideways to face the wall.

Although there were many things to think about, it was obviously too early to think about some things now, so she withdrew her thoughts and focused on the most urgent issues at hand.

The most important thing she needs to solve right now is to find a way to break free from the constraints of the novel's setting.

If this issue is not resolved, everything else will be in vain. Even if she is unwilling in her heart, she will still follow the plot set for her in the novel.

so.

Starting tomorrow.

She had to shamelessly follow Lin Xiaohan closely.

***

The next day.

Chuxia is still the first one to get up in their dormitory.

When she was going out with her toiletries, Lin Xiaohan just happened to come out from the opposite side.

When the two met, they didn't say hello, but went to the well to wash.

No one spoke. They brushed their teeth together, washed their faces together, went back to the dormitory together, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast together.

Making breakfast today is even simpler. Just boil some hot water, steam some buns, and eat them with canned food.

Lin Xiaohan finished cooking earlier, took the steamed buns and poured hot water, then sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

Chuxia followed closely and put the steamed buns into the empty bowl.

Picking up the canned chopsticks and carrying the bowl to the table, she hesitated for a moment, then decided to sit down opposite Lin Xiaohan.

Lin Xiaohan raised his eyes to look at her in confusion, "What?"

There were three tables in the kitchen. Whenever they sat down to have a meeting in the kitchen, no one would sit at the same table with him, including Chuxia.

Chu Xia cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "We cleaned up the school yesterday, and we can officially enroll students today, so I want to discuss with you seriously how we should enroll students."

Lin Xiaohan retracted his gaze and continued eating, "Don't be us, you are you and I am me, let's fight separately, you fight yours, I fight mine, no one should interfere with each other's business."

Chu Xia looked at Lin Xiaohan for a while, then asked, "Do you really not want to work with me as a partner?"

Lin Xiaohan said mercilessly: "Yes."

He really doesn't want to work with someone whose brain is as confused as a paste.

Chu Xia looked at him and said in a comforting tone, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on."

“…”

Lin Xiaohan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Chuxia.

He thought she would immediately take the bowl and eat away from him, but he didn't expect that not only did she not move, she also said this.

Chuxia met his gaze, and no matter what he was thinking, she raised the corners of her mouth and gave him a sincere smile.

Lin Xiaohan: “…”
