Liu Xinyi was overjoyed when she saw the Feng family's ancestral home in Xiaowangzhuang.

She immediately hatched a plan to incite some hot-blooded students to vandalize the Feng family's ancestral home, making things easier for her later actions.

However, the old lady of the Wang family produced a lease agreement and stirred things up.

Liu Xinyi naturally wouldn't give up easily. She used some tricks, and the educated youth who lived in the villagers' homes and shared meals caused one incident after another. The brigade headquarters had no choice but to let the educated youth move out of the villagers' homes and live in dormitories. With Liu Xinyi's intentional or unintentional hints, everyone unanimously chose the Feng family's ancestral home as the dormitory for the educated youth.

Everything was going smoothly until the treasure hunt got stuck.

Do we really have to demolish the Feng family's ancestral home to find it?

Twenty years later, in an interview, Qian Haoyong seemed to mention that the Feng family's ancestral home had already collapsed.

But now, if they want to demolish the Feng family's ancestral home, the brigade headquarters will be the first to object.

Even if she managed to collapse the house, the brigade headquarters would definitely investigate, and they might be the ones to find the hidden treasure, leaving her completely uninvolved.

She would never do something that benefits someone else.

“Liu Zhiqing, I told you long ago that you can’t dig up the whole yard, you have to leave a path. Now look what’s happened, the whole yard has become a mud pit, there’s nowhere to put your feet, what do you suggest we do?”

The accusations from the female educated youth beside her only added to Liu Xinyi's annoyance, and she retorted without hesitation: "If you can't put your feet down, then don't. Stay in the house and behave yourself!"

The female educated youth blushed after being rebuked by Liu Xinyi, and angrily retorted, "What kind of attitude is that?"

This is my attitude!

Liu Xinyi stood up abruptly, her gaze sweeping over all the educated youth present: "I fought for this courtyard for everyone, and you all agreed to dig the ground and plant vegetables. Now that it has rained and the road is difficult to walk on, you are pushing all the responsibility onto me. Don't you think you are going too far?"

The educated youth looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

Liu Xinyi softened her tone and said, "We're all partners, so we should work together to solve problems when we encounter difficulties. I'll go out now and find someone to help me think of a solution."

After this incident, many of the educated youth felt guilty and offered to go with her to look for people, but Liu Xinyi waved her hand and refused.

She changed into her prettiest red dress with white flowers, put on a pair of brand-new and delicate rubber shoes, and, holding an umbrella, safely waded through the muddy water in the yard. She then found a ditch, washed the mud off her shoes, and headed to the Qian family's house, looking clean and refreshed.

As soon as they arrived at the Qian family's gate, they saw Qian Eryong, wearing a straw raincoat, walking out. Liu Xinyi immediately greeted him with a perfect smile: "Second Brother Qian, where are you going?"

Qian Eryong felt annoyed when he saw Liu Xinyi.

The first time they met was at noon when he saw off Feng Mingshu's family. On his way to the black market, the girl tried to seduce him, but he was quick-witted and escaped. He then sent a message to the police station.

Afterwards, he inquired about the situation and learned that the police arrived in time, and the girl surnamed Liu was rescued without any serious injury. Moreover, it seemed that the girl had no connection whatsoever with his rival in the black market.

But will he feel guilty?

Of course not!

Putting the matter out of his mind, Qian Eryong continued his business on the black market, living a comfortable life. He even took some time to visit Bincheng to see how the eldest daughter of the Feng family, who had married a military officer, was doing.

But to his surprise, the Feng family's villa had changed owners, with people wearing red armbands coming and going.

After making inquiries, it was learned that Miss Feng had gone to the military base with her officer husband several months ago, and her address and return date were unknown.

Qian Eryong returned to Xiaowangzhuang with mixed feelings, and had no energy left to do business. Of course, the recent tense situation was also one of the reasons.

He just didn't expect that trouble would come knocking on his door even though he wasn't looking for it.

A few days later, a group of educated youth came to work in the countryside, including the "honey trap" girl, Miss Liu.

Miss Liu wanted to stay at his house, but Qian Eryong refused and warned her to stay away from him.

After receiving the warning, Miss Liu did keep her distance from him, but he soon discovered that there were more problems in the village, and it seemed that Miss Liu was the instigator.

Seeing Miss Liu come to his door again, Qian Eryong narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the girl's dress and rubber boots, finally settling on the goosebumps on her bare arms caused by the chill of the autumn rain.

Qian Eryong stepped forward, raised his hand and touched the severed arm. He immediately saw Miss Liu blush and look up at him with her watery eyes.

Qian Eryong's lips curled slightly: "I'm teasing you like this, and you don't even flinch?"

Liu Xinyi was overjoyed that he didn't tell her to get lost the first time they met, and she didn't care about teasing him at all.

Besides, touching someone's arm is nothing in later generations.

Qian Fuhao was indeed innocent in his youth!

With a thousand thoughts racing through her mind, Liu Xinyi's face flushed with shyness as she raised her chin and said, "I know you were the one who called the police to save me that day. You are my savior, so I'm willing to do anything for you."

Qian Eryong scoffed upon hearing this: "I was just reporting my rival, I had no intention of saving you, don't flatter yourself."

Qian Fuhao was so stubborn when he was young!

She likes boys who are tough on the outside but soft on the inside; that's the kind of fun it is to train them!

Liu Xinyi's eyes lit up: "Second Brother Qian, no matter why you reported me, I was saved because of you, so you are my savior, I've decided!"

"what ever."

Qian Eryong scoffed and walked out.

Liu Xinyi immediately followed, step by step, holding an umbrella as she followed all the way to the entrance of the back mountain.

The rain was pouring down, and the mountain roads were slippery and muddy.

Liu Xinyi became a little nervous and stepped forward to grab Qian Eryong's hand: "Brother Qian, it's dangerous on the mountain when it's raining, don't go."

"What's it to you?" Qian Eryong raised an eyebrow, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Liu Xinyi immediately shook her head: "I'm worried about you."

Qian Eryong shook off her hand and sneered, "You're not qualified to be near me. Get out!"

After saying that, he walked straight up the mountain.

Liu Xinyi rushed up and grabbed him: "What do I have to do to be qualified?"

Qian Eryong glanced at her face and said, "Lost the umbrella."

Liu Xinyi hesitated for a second before throwing away the umbrella. The torrential rain immediately soaked her, and the fabric of her dress clung to her body, instantly revealing her curves.

Qian Eryong's gaze fell on her curves. Liu Xinyi, embarrassed, crossed her arms and then raised her rain-drenched face to ask, "Brother Qian, am I qualified now?"

Qian Eryong laughed loudly, taking off his raincoat and covering Liu Xinyi with it.

"Go back. I can't bring myself to hurt a girl like you."

After saying that, he continued climbing the mountain in the heavy rain, moving very quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As Liu Xinyi watched his disappearing figure, her heart began to pound wildly for the first time.

It wasn't for the handsome, wealthy man twenty years later that my heart fluttered, but for the roguish yet innocent boy on the mountain.
