Jiang Xile picked up a stick from the roadside and walked towards the grove of trees.

The closer they got, the louder the noise became, and they couldn't help but think: Li Hongwei is really audacious!

Just as Jiang Xile was about to approach, Li Hongwei had already finished.

"That's a bit too short..."

From afar, Jiang Xile saw Duan Nianzhen being held in Li Hongwei's arms, their behavior intimate.

Although there was a distance of five or six meters between them, she could still see it very clearly.

"It seems I was overthinking things. Duan Nianzhen was clearly acting of her own free will; there was no sign of her being coerced in the slightest."

Although she had a past conflict with Li Hongwei, she had already taken her revenge, adhering to the principle of repaying old scores with new ones.

So I didn't plan to do anything using their affair.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Xile was about to turn and leave, she overheard the two of them secretly plotting against her.

"Brother Hongwei, is what you're saying going to work? Jiang Xile and I don't get along very well. Will she drink what I offer her?"

"Fool, you can just have someone else pass it over. There are so many people at the educated youth settlement, Jiang Xile can't be against everyone, can she? Anyway, everyone will be drinking eventually, so just play it by ear!"

"But what if we get caught? Jiang Xile is a very strong fighter!"

"What are you afraid of? Once she takes that medicine, she'll be completely at my mercy. After I take her body, you can expect her to submit to me!"

You wanted a bicycle, right? Just ask her to give it to you; after all, you're practically her second sister!

"Hehe...Brother Hongwei, you're really amazing. I'll listen to you. I've been fed up with her arrogant attitude for a long time."

So what if they have a little money? What's with the arrogance? They won't even lend you their car, they're so stingy!

I'd like to see her expression when she wakes up and finds herself pinned down by you!

"You little rascal! I'm afraid you won't be able to resist and will pounce on me again, then I'll be in trouble!"

"What, Brother Hongwei, are you getting tired of me? You've really moved on to someone new and now you don't want me anymore!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Jiang Xile is beautiful, she can't compare to you in my heart!"

"I knew it, Brother Hongwei, you're the best!"

Jiang Xile frowned and forced herself to listen to the conversation between the two, despite feeling nauseous. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Now that I've discovered their conspiracy, I should repay them properly; otherwise, their "good intentions" would be wasted.

Jiang Xile came and went silently, and the two "loving" and "sweet" people in the woods were completely unaware of her presence.

"Jiang Zhiqing, you're back! Perfect timing! A few of my moves don't seem to flow smoothly. Could you give me some pointers?"

As soon as Jiang Xile entered the educated youth settlement, he was stopped by Qiu Wenbin, who was practicing boxing in the courtyard.

"What move? You were practicing it quite well before!"

"Let me show you how I practice. There are a few parts that seem a bit off. Could you take a look and give me your opinion? Thanks!"

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Xile had no choice but to agree.

"Then you can begin, I'll watch from here!"

"good!"

Hearing that Jiang Xile had agreed, Qiu Wenbin was overjoyed and immediately went to the yard to show it off.

He unleashed a set of fluid and graceful kung fu moves, and although his appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, he already possessed the air of a master.

Jiang Xile noticed that Qiu Wenbin was much more confident than usual when practicing martial arts, which showed that he really loved martial arts.

After about ten minutes, Qiu Wenbin finally finished his demonstration. His clothes were soaked with sweat. When Jiang Xile got closer, she felt a strong masculine aura emanating from him.

She took an awkward step back, her ear tips turning slightly red.

"Jiang Zhiqing, what do you think?"

"Very good. You are increasingly showing the demeanor of a martial arts master. Given time, you will surely achieve great things."

However, your leg power was a bit off when you did your side kick and roundhouse kick just now. You can try adjusting it!

After Jiang Xile finished speaking, she gave a simple demonstration, which Qiu Wenbin watched very attentively.

"I understand, thank you Jiang Zhiqing. I'll think about it some more. I'm so sorry to have been asking you all these questions as soon as you got back."

"How about we wait until tomorrow? I'll treat you to dinner at the commune tomorrow as a way of thanking you for your guidance."

"I don't need to eat. Besides, I want to go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow, I don't want to go to the commune!"

"You're going to the back mountain? How about next time, during the next holiday, I'll treat you to braised pork at the state-run restaurant, okay!"

"Then let's wait until the next holiday to talk about it. Plans can't keep up with changes, so how can we be sure now?"

"Okay, then I'll ask you out again next time I have a holiday. You have to give me a chance to express my gratitude then, otherwise I'll feel really bad about it!"

"Okay, someone's treating me to dinner, isn't that great? I'll definitely remember that and I won't let you renege on the debt!"

"Of course I won't renege on my promise. I'll be waiting for you anytime, Master!"

"Alright, I'm not going to joke around with you anymore. I need to go back and pack up."

"Okay, then go quickly. You just got back, so get some rest."

Jiang Xile nodded and then went back to her room. Qiu Wenbin stared blankly at her departing figure.

He touched his rapidly beating heart and knew that being able to get along like this was already quite good.

But he still couldn't help wanting to get a little closer to her, just a little bit more!

Back in her room, Jiang Xile began to organize her spoils from the trip, putting all the stamps into her spatial storage.

After taking stock of all his current possessions, Jiang Xile instantly felt like he had reached the pinnacle of life.

Life is truly wondrous. Many things seem to be preordained, just like the gold, jewels, and diamonds she collected in the apocalypse.

These were all unintentional actions at the time, but now they have become her great wealth.

I wonder if she'll have a chance to live again after she dies...

Shaking her head to ignore those wild ideas, Jiang Xile began to get serious.

Although she doesn't have much cash on hand right now, it's enough for her to live on until the college entrance exam is reinstated.

With the remaining gold, they could use it to buy real estate. Considering the soaring housing prices in the future, Jiang Xile had already made up her mind to stockpile as much land as possible.

As for other industries, we'll see when she goes to university. One must take things one step at a time, and only by being steady and pragmatic can one go further.
