A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Someone shouted, and everyone looked out. Sure enough, the girl from last night had come again.
Everyone was drinking porridge, just like yesterday. It seemed like they arrived right at mealtime, but this time they didn't dare to get close. They stood at a distance, shouting that they wanted to find Chen Chong.
Even though everyone was on the road fleeing famine, their love of gossip knows no time or circumstance!
Everyone wanted to know what was going on, so they turned their attention to Chen Chong.
Chen Chong was happily drinking his porridge. For many mornings, he had nothing to eat, let alone hot porridge, he hadn't even had coarse grain pancakes!
Because food is limited, we have to eat sparingly. We can only eat a pancake at noon, and at other times, we can only drink a sip of water to moisten our throats!
Being able to drink a bowl of hot porridge these days makes me incredibly happy and blessed!
Even if the sky falls, I won't complain!
But he was suddenly interrupted. Hearing that voice, all his good mood vanished instantly, and impatience rose in his heart!
Seeing everyone looking at him with teasing and curiosity in their eyes, he could only hold back for now.
He couldn't let others laugh at him, but he also knew very well that in the end he would probably still be laughed at!
That woman keeps coming back, so some things are bound to come to light, and there's no way to hide them anymore!
Judging from that woman's attitude, she's definitely not going to let him off the hook. He's sure it won't be anything good!
That family is only after profit; they would never approach him without something in return. They probably need his help in some way, which is why they keep coming to him!
In the past, he might have been overjoyed, but now, he only felt annoyed!
Didn't you say so resolutely that you would never see him again? Didn't you look down on him?
Ha, you said those things yesterday, how quickly you've changed your tune!
Chen Chong knew perfectly well that the woman hadn't really come to see him; she was probably just looking for something after seeing how good their food was!
“I’m standing right here. So, what do you want from me, all these times? Let me make this clear first: I have nothing to do with you. Don’t try to pin anything on me, and don’t try to play the victim. I don’t care! I’m just here because I’m really annoyed and want to know why this girl keeps coming to me. We’re not even acquainted!”
Chen Chong walked to the outer perimeter, but did not go over. The wolfhounds were confronting each other outside, and he stood next to them.
The girl seemed not to hear him. Although Chen Chong shouted quite loudly, she was very happy to see him come out. If it weren't for the wolfhound there, she probably would have pounced on him.
She withdrew her outstretched foot and waved happily at Chen Chong, shouting, "Chong! I knew you'd come out to see me! I'm too scared to go over there, can you come over? There are vicious dogs there, it's too scary!"
They even started to act coquettishly, making them look like a young couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time!
Upon hearing this, Chen Chong's face immediately darkened. It was the same old story, pretending nothing had happened. Did they think he was a fool?
He was out of his mind before and was deceived by her sweet words. If he could be deceived for a lifetime, it would be worth it. But he was woken up by a blow long ago!
He's perfectly clear-headed now, and when he thinks back to the past, he really was like a fool!
So, hearing those words in that tone didn't bring me any joy; on the contrary, it made me feel nauseous and disgusted!
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to annoy him!
They deliberately made him unable to eat, hoping to starve him to death!
Su Nanxi also came over. This time she brought a bowl and watched the show while drinking porridge. I must say, this feeling is just different!
As expected, those who enjoy watching a show always love to stir things up!
She had never experienced watching a spectacle like this before; it was quite a unique experience!
That girl, she's tidied herself up a bit today, she doesn't look as bad as she did yesterday. Looking at her, she does have some looks, well, to use other people's words, she certainly has the right to be picky!
Tsk, she's not on the same wavelength as Chen Chong!
Chen Chong is a poor boy who doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing. His family owns dozens of acres of fertile land. It's not certain that they can hold onto it!
Mo Qinghe was next to Su Nanxi. Seeing that she was enjoying the show, he was happy too, and even put two pieces of meat on his wife's plate.
"Honey, don't just watch the fun, eat more! Once everyone's finished eating, we'll be heading out!"
Su Nanxi nodded, still enjoying the spectacle while continuing to eat. "Yeah! Don't worry, I'm a professional at watching the excitement! It's rare to find anything entertaining on the road, so when we come across something like this, we have to take a good look and relax. That way we'll have more energy to walk later! Hmm, it's really good with rice!"
Mo Qinghe's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, but were full of doting affection. "Then you have to eat carefully. There are bones in the meat. Don't eat too hard, or you'll break your teeth! What's the big deal about all this drama? It's all about love, hate, and grudges. Nothing new!"
Su Nanxi disagreed, "Of course! Everyone's acting skills are different, so the effects of their performances are different, and the feelings they evoke are naturally different. Isn't that what makes it so fresh? Why don't you guess why that girl came over?"
Mo Qinghe wasn't interested in this matter at all, but since his wife had asked, he couldn't very well not answer. So he just made up a few things on the spot, "What else could it be? If it's not for love, then it's for profit! I don't even need to look, I can tell you exactly what I'm talking about!"
Su Nanxi gave him an appreciative look. Goodness, he didn't even need to look at him; he hadn't looked at him at all!
But you guessed pretty much right!
Between men and women, it's nothing more than these things, what else can they do?
The benefit is probably for money or convenience!
The girl didn't seem to come from a wealthy or noble family; at most, her family was only slightly better off than Chen Chong's. Perhaps that's why she was so confident!
Su Nanxi glanced at Chen Chong, but seeing that he didn't go over and seemed to be hesitating, she simply stopped looking at him and continued chatting with Mo Qinghe.
"You have a sharp eye! That's what I was thinking too. Why would a girl be so persistent with a guy, even though she looked down on him before? She must have an ulterior motive! She must have seen something to gain from him and wants to take advantage of him! If the guy isn't worth using, she'll probably just kick him to the curb!"
Mo Qinghe suddenly understood why his wife said that, and echoed her, "Yes! That's right! Otherwise, why would she have been so disgusted with us in the first place? If she didn't mind, we would have been together long ago!"
Chen Chong actually wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, so he lowered his head and listened attentively, ignoring the people opposite him.
Seeing that Chen Chong was ignoring her with his head down, the girl opposite became anxious and called out again.
Chen Chong looked up, his tone cold, "I have nothing to do with you. Don't call me by my name so casually. You can't call me Ah Chong! Since you won't say why you're looking for me, then don't come looking for me again!"
