"No, brother!"

Su Yan covered her nose and took two steps back, saying sincerely, "Your bad breath is bothering me. Please stay away from me, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.

"How dare this young girl speak so boldly!"

"The young lady wasn't wrong. This guy is dressed decently, but his face is so ugly... forget it."

"Come on, this guy is only flirting with the girl because she's not dressed well. No city girl would be interested in someone like that."

The surrounding mocking voices were quite loud. Yu Kangde's face was contorted, and he still maintained the pose that he thought was very smug.

He didn't expect a village girl to be willing to reject him. Who knows if she was trying to provoke him?

He thought for a moment, then stood up straight and said, "Miss, I genuinely want to be your friend, I..."

"No, I don't want to be friends with you." Su Yan interrupted directly, and seriously suggested, "Uncle, next time you try to chat someone up, please brush your big yellow teeth properly, otherwise what if they smell bad?"

Yu Kangde wasn't ugly, just had an average face, but the problem was he was greasy! He didn't even need to open his mouth; the greasiness emanated from his very bones. Plus, he was short, even shorter than her, and when he grinned with those big, yellow teeth, the stench was overwhelming. Su Yan felt like her eyes and nose had been defiled…

Yu Kangde finally lost his temper, his face darkening as he gritted his teeth and said, "I gave you a chance to play hard to get, don't go too far! Don't I have any dignity in front of so many people?! I've already given you face by taking the initiative to chat up a country girl like you, don't push your luck!"

Yes, he felt that Su Yan was playing hard to get.

Su Yan: "???"

"No, you think I'm playing hard to get with you??" Her voice rose an octave uncontrollably.

Why are there so many brain-dead people in this world?

"Isn't that right?" Yu Kangde was furious, his gaze on her extremely blatant. "All that talk is just to get a high price, isn't it? Just tell me how much you want per night."

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Yan slapped him twice and said angrily, "Everyone saw it clearly. This man was harassing me. Keep an eye on him for me. I'm going to call the police right now."

Yu Kangde was thrown backwards, and upon hearing this, he asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"

Are you crazy?! You idiot!

Su Yan thought she had a good temper, but this ordinary guy was like he couldn't understand human language. It was like talking to a brick wall. It was so frustrating.

"No need to go, the police are already here."

A deep, magnetic voice slowly rose from the crowd.

The crowd parted to make way for the source of the sound.

A young man in a green uniform, with a tall and handsome figure, walked over, followed by several police officers.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"

Jiang Jingxing nodded and said, "I saw it while I was passing by and called the police for you."

The police station is just a short walk from here.

"What's going on?" one of the police officers asked.

Su Yan pointed at Yu Kangde and said sternly, "Officer, this man started hitting on me for no reason. I have already clearly refused him, but he is persistent and verbally abusive. Everyone here can testify for me. I want to sue him for indecent assault and demand an apology from him."

Seeing that she was serious, Yu Kangde panicked completely and hurriedly tried to cover it up: "Officer, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I was just joking with this lady, I didn't expect her to take it so seriously."

"Nonsense! The girl doesn't want to talk to you, but you insist on talking to her." Someone retorted loudly.

The others also spoke up.

"That's right, we all saw it, you can't deny it!"

"Judging from your appearance, you must be a repeat offender, right? I wonder how many girls have been deceived by you. The police should arrest you and interrogate you properly!"

With so many verifications, it's impossible to determine whether Su Yan is telling the truth without any interrogation, plus...

“Come with us.”

Two policemen stepped forward, detained the man, and took him away.

"I...I'm innocent, officer!" Yu Kangde panicked and felt utterly disgusted with Su Yan.

He never expected that his tried-and-true method would turn out this way when used on this village girl.

With the show over, everyone left on their own.

Su Yan scratched her hair in frustration.

She just wanted to do her own thing smoothly, but she always seemed to encounter all sorts of messy people and situations.

"Are you unhappy?"

A pleasant voice came from above.

Su Yan looked up and realized there was someone else standing there. She paused for a moment and then quickly said, "Thank you for calling the police for me earlier, comrade."

Jiang Jingxing raised an eyebrow, his voice slow and deliberate: "That's it?"

"Well..." She was a little unsure of his meaning, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Shall I treat you to dinner?"

Anyway, he's Tang Li's friend, so he probably doesn't mean any harm.

Her uncertain look was like a kitten tentatively extending its paw. Jiang Jingxing's lips curved into a slight smile, which quickly disappeared.

"No need, let's talk about it next time," he said. "You go ahead and do your work."

Su Yan was more than happy to agree and immediately said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Jiang Jingxing squinted at her back and suddenly realized why Tang Li found her interesting.

...

Su Yan was unaware of Jiang Jingxing's inner monologue. When she arrived at the post office, she saw Huo Qianli slacking off again.

"Ahem!" she deliberately made a sound.

Ouch!

Huo Qianli was startled and quickly stood up, turning around with a smile. But when she saw the person who had come, her smile vanished, and she angrily stomped her foot, saying, "What are you doing! You scared me to death!"

Su Yan didn't say anything, but smiled and took out the lipstick she had just bought at the commune from her pocket and placed it on the table. "This is for you. The color suits you well."

"Lipstick?!?" Huo Qianli's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but pick it up. "Isn't this the latest model from Beijing? You're really giving it to me?"

This lipstick costs thirty yuan a piece, and she's been eyeing it for two months but hasn't been able to bring herself to buy it.

"I bought this especially for you. I'm glad you like it."

Su Yan doesn't like wearing makeup. In Huo Qianli's eyes, this lipstick is the latest model, but in Beijing, it should be outdated for a while.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "I'll buy you another one when I go to Beijing."

Huo Qianli ran out and hugged her, saying happily, "Why are you so good to me?"

She felt she hadn't been of much help, but Su Yan was so generous; she absolutely adored this new friend!

Su Yan was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, blushed and coughed lightly, "I'm like this with all my true friends."

She can't exactly say it's because you're the postmaster's daughter!

"Okay, that's kind of you." Huo Qianli let go of her and said, "Your admission notice is on its way, it won't arrive for another week. My dad called to ask about it himself. I pestered him for a long time before he was willing to pull some strings."
