If that's the case, then it makes sense.

After all, everyone in the village knew about Fu Shaojie's original affection for Mei Niang.

Even if there are better options, it is impossible for a person to suddenly become so unloving and unfamiliar.

Lin Xue could see indifference and aggression in Fu Shaojie's eyes now.

Whether it was towards Meiniang or Meiniang, what emanated from his bones was indifference and estrangement. No matter how much affection he pretended to be on the surface, his inner self would not change.

"Xiaoxue, what are you thinking about?"

The two remained silent the entire way until they were almost home, when Mei Niang finally pulled Lin Xue, who was lost in thought.

"Mei Niang, don't you think this young master Fu is a bit strange?"

"Although I didn't have much contact with him before, the Fu Shaojie of the past was not like this at all."

"After this trip to the provincial capital, he came back as if he had suddenly become a completely different person, so different from the person I remembered!"

It was fine before no one mentioned it, and Mei Niang never thought about it in that direction.

But now that Lin Xue has said that, Mei Niang suddenly realized what was going on.

Now think about it carefully.

The Fu Shaojie she knew was completely different from the young master she remembered.

Although they wore the same clothes and spoke in similar tones, they gave off an extremely unfamiliar feeling.

"Xiaoxue, have you ever heard of the Heart-Eating Demon?"

Lin Xue didn't expect Merlin to suddenly bring this up. She had seen an introduction to the Heart Eater on the official website, but the introduction was very brief, only one sentence long.
