Chapter 22 I Want to Be Your Backer

After more than a month of hard work, spring planting was over and the factory was back on track! Tian Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Shuai called early in the morning and said he wanted to take her to the county town for a stroll.

Tian Fushun specially gave her a vacation so that she could relax!

She carried her bag and rode a motorcycle with Zhang Shuai to the county town.

The weather was very good and the sun was a little hot on his body. Zhang Shuai rode his motorcycle towards the county town as fast as he could fly an airplane.

When they were crossing the first ditch, a car drove past them. Zhang Shuai took a look and shouted to Tian Xin: "Boss, Mercedes!"

Tian Xin didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"I say, a Mercedes just passed by! Who in our village can afford a Mercedes? I wonder who this guy is?"

Tian Xin heard this clearly: "Love whoever you want, it's none of our business!"

She didn't notice that the person driving the car was Lin Zhou.

The motorcycle was going uphill and the Mercedes was going downhill, and they just brushed past each other.

Since their chance encounter in the county town, Lin Zhou had sent Tian Xin numerous text messages, but she had only replied to three. She hadn't even answered a single call.

The last one was asking him not to contact her again in the future.

He didn't know what happened to her. But he couldn't stand Tian Xin suddenly appearing in front of him, giving him a little thought and then disappearing quickly.

This was killing him.

After not seeing her for a few years, he still couldn't forget her. Although she had clearly rejected him before graduation, he didn't want to give up.

This person has already taken up residence in his heart.

When did it start? He didn't know!

When you were in college?

No, maybe even earlier!

Maybe it was when I first met her and was cleaning up her yellow hair!

In all these years, he had never met a girl as independent, strong, brave, resourceful and kind as her.

Every time he saw her, he was so moved that he couldn't help himself!

But he knew that this girl never liked others to get too close to her.

So he endured it! Until she graduated from college!

When he heard that she had become a village official, he quickly contacted his grandfather and got in touch with Li Changan, and met her when he went to deliver the appointment letter.

That meeting was so rushed that I didn't even say a few words to him.

He wanted to find her, but he had no reason! So they didn't meet for the next six months!

He thought that she would occasionally deliver goods to the dried fruit shop, so he asked Uncle Liu to tell him whenever Tian Xin called to say she was coming to deliver goods.

Our meeting that day was definitely not a coincidence.

But it was the happiest day he had experienced in recent years.

They ate together, went to the park, took photos together, and drew dolls, just like a couple in love.

He thought this was a great start.

But after we parted, she said that we should not contact each other again.

He tried to resist the urge to disturb her, but the gnawing longing was like a flood that could no longer be controlled.

He could no longer endure this torture and wanted to come and see her.

Maybe it's because she's been too busy lately and has no time to pay attention to him.

Lin Zhou parked his car at the entrance of the village committee, his mind full of thoughts. As he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly felt a sense of homesickness.

What should I say when I see her?

If I go like this, will it affect her work?

After all, the village is not the city. If I go to find her like this, will others talk about me behind my back if they see me?

He sat in the car, thinking about it and was reluctant to get out.

At this time, the villagers were about to go to the fields and passed by the village committee gate one after another. When they saw the Mercedes-Benz, they couldn't help but stop to watch, chattering about something.

The sound quickly reached Tian Fushun's ears, and he ran out to take a look. Hey—this young man looked familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere?

After thinking for a long time, he remembered that Lin Zhou in the car was the young man who came with Minister Li earlier. He quickly invited him to the office.

"Are you Minister Li's secretary?" Tian Fushun made a cup of tea for Lin Zhou.

"Oh, no! Minister Li is my uncle. The last time I came here, I accompanied him to deliver a document."

"Oh! So Minister Li is here today. Do you have anything to say?"

"No, no, Tian Xin and I are classmates. I happened to be passing by today and came to see her."

"Oh, is it Xinxin's classmate? College classmate, right?" Tian Fushun looked at Lin Zhou with a smile.

"Yes, she's a college classmate. Is she... busy now?"

"Oh, no! She's on vacation today and isn't here. She should be at home."

"Oh, so that's it!" Lin Zhou looked disappointed.

"How about you give her a call?" Tian Fushun suggested.

"No need, uncle. Since she is resting, it is not convenient for me to disturb her. I'll leave first!" Lin Zhou stood up and greeted Tian Fushun.

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I have a letter here. Please pass it to her and say it's from Lin Zhou. Thank you!" He handed the letter to Tian Fushun, turned around and walked out the door.

Tian Xin kept this letter in a drawer until it saw the light of day many years later!

When Lin Zhou left the village committee, Tian Xin and Zhang Shuai had just arrived in the county town.

"You don't just want to treat me to breakfast, do you?" The two of them squatted in front of the restaurant Zhang Shuai mentioned.

"Of course not." Zhang Shuai said frankly.

"Aside from the breakfast stalls, are there any restaurants open right now?" Tian Xin asked Zhang Shuai, "Why are we here so early?"

"I'd better go buy you a bun first!" Zhang Shuai stood up and walked towards the bun shop.

"Come back here!" Tian Xin shouted at him.

Zhang Shuai retreated again.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in bringing me here today?"

“…” Zhang Shuai did not answer.

"I'm asking you a question." Tian Xin reached out and twisted Zhang Shuai's ear.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop pulling my ears! It hurts! I'm telling you, I'm telling you."

"explain."

"Boss, I just wanted to see you. You haven't smiled in the past half month, and I thought you must be in a bad mood, so I wanted to take you out for a walk."

"That's it?" Tian Xin asked with wide eyes.

"ah!"

"I'm saying, are you sick? Are you sick? Ah? You woke me up so early in the morning and asked me to come here to relax? When can't we meet? You had to wake me up and let me doze off here! Are you asking for trouble?"

Tian Xin was so angry that she chased Zhang Shuai, kicking and hitting him.

"Hey, Boss, don't hit me. I came here today to give you a gift! Don't hit me, don't hit me!"

"I don't want it!"

"Don't be so quick to refuse! You really need it."

Half an hour later, Tian Xin fell into deep thought as she watched Zhang Shuai riding towards her on a pink bicycle that was totally inconsistent with his image and temperament.

"Is this the gift you mentioned?" Tian Xin pointed at the bicycle.

"Yes, boss! Do you like it?" Zhang Shuai straddled the bicycle with a flattering look on his face.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"

"No!"

"Then how can I ride it if you buy so much powder?"

"You don't like it? Then I'll go get another one!"

"Oh, that's enough, don't bother, I've already bought it!" Tian Xin took the bicycle from Zhang Shuai and tried to ride it.

She couldn't ride a bike. She hadn't learned to ride one as a child, and her family had no money to buy one! She had learned a few times in her previous life, but she'd always fallen and gotten bruised, so she'd given up.

"With this, you don't have to run back and forth every day. How convenient!"

"Okay! Thank you!"

"Boss!"

"what?"

"You should be happy!"

"What?"

"You have to be happy! If anyone makes you unhappy, you must tell me!"

I'll protect you!

He said this in his heart!

This guy is really weird today, what's wrong with him? Tian Xin raised her head and looked Zhang Shuai up and down: "What's wrong with you today?"

Zhang Shuai leaned forward, leaning forward slightly while holding onto his bicycle. "Boss, ever since I met you last time, I've always felt that you're worried, even though you've been reluctant to tell me. But I want you to know that you... still have me. If you need anything, be sure to tell me. At any time, as long as you need me, I'll be there the first time. I will always, always, work hard, and be your strongest support."

Zhang Shuai had a serious and earnest expression, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Tian Xin couldn't understand.

He repeated every word of this passage silently in his mind countless times.

"Okay, I understand..." Tian Xin looked into Zhang Shuai's eyes, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Did this guy take the wrong medicine today? What's wrong with him?
