The people below just looked at Shen Xing silently, their eyes revealing the words "I just want to see you pretending".

Everyone knows that Shen Xing has a new girlfriend.

He suddenly became so passionate about studying, it must be because of the power of love. Everyone understood and didn't expose Shen Xing's hypocrisy.

After receiving the report card, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong went home. The weather outside was very cold, especially today when the temperature was only a few degrees. As soon as she came out of the classroom, Pei Tiantian was shivering in the cold wind.

Gu Rong took a look at Pei Tiantian's clothes. She was only wearing two pieces, both of which were very thin.

Pei Tiantian did not follow Wang Ruizhen's advice to change into cotton clothes.

Gu Rong: "The temperature has dropped in the past two days, why don't you change into warmer clothes?"

Pei Tiantian didn't want to admit that she didn't go to the next door to get extra clothes because she was lazy: "I don't feel that cold." As she said that, Pei Tiantian sneezed because of the cold.

Gu Rong: “…”

He took off his coat and gave it to Pei Tiantian, asking her to put it on.

Gu Rong was wearing a sweater underneath, so he wasn't cold at all.

Pei Tiantian put on Gu Rong's large coat. It was quite warm inside. With the residual heat from Gu Rong's body, Pei Tiantian's eyes curved: "Thank you, Brother Gu Rong."

Gu Rong didn't say anything, but just patted Pei Tiantian's head gently: "Remember to wear more next time. If you catch a cold, Grandma Wang will be worried."

Pei Tiantian sniffed her red nose and said, "I know."

Pei Tiantian subconsciously leaned towards Gu Rong as she walked.

Gu Rong's body was like a stove, very warm. Pei Tiantian felt that leaning on him was not enough, so she put her hand under Gu Rong's arm.

Unexpectedly, Pei Tiantian would suddenly come close to him. Gu Rong's whole body stiffened and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Pei Tiantian thought that Gu Rong was unwilling to let her keep warm, so she continued to lean on Gu Rong with a smile: "Brother Gu Rong, let me warm your hands for a while, okay? It won't damage your image as the school hunk."

A trace of discomfort flashed across Gu Rong's face.

Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian rarely have such intimate physical contact.

The most recent one was the last time I was in the hospital.

But because Pei Tiantian didn't look up, she didn't notice the expression on Gu Rong's face at all.

The two of them leaned against each other intimately and walked towards the school gate step by step in the cold wind.

A student recognized Gu Rong passing by and almost shouted out in surprise: "It's Gu Rong——"

"What's wrong?" asked the person next to him.

"He was so close to a girl, and the girl was even wearing his coat. Could she be his girlfriend?"

The man next to him rolled his eyes, "What are you looking at? That's Gu Rong's sister!"

The student suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I thought, even if it's vacation, Gu Rong wouldn't be so bold as to hug someone on campus."

The two of them left and came to school, chattering with each other.

Pei Tiantian saw Shen Xing standing at the school gate. She greeted him and said goodbye, and the two left the school.

Shen Xing stood at the door, looking thoughtfully at the backs of Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong.

Pei Tiantian was still wearing Gu Rong's coat, and the two of them were so close to each other.

And Gu Rong...

Although Gu Rong still had that expressionless look on his face, he seemed to be a little uneasy.

Shen Xing suddenly gave a meaningful smile.

After everyone in the school had left, Shen Xing looked at his watch and found that half an hour had passed the agreed time.

Shen Xing was a little strange.

Did something happen to Deng Min?

She doesn't seem like someone who would be late.

So Shen Xing could only continue to wait.

After waiting for almost an hour, Deng Min finally hurried over. She looked very embarrassed, with tears on her face.

Shen Xing frowned: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Deng Min cried and shook her head: "My mother was in a car accident. Now the hospital needs to pay 10,000 yuan, otherwise they won't perform surgery on my mother. But our family doesn't have that much money. What should I do?"

Shen Xing knew that Deng Min's family situation was not very good. She was from Nanshi, and her parents came to Yushi to work. Even the house in the community was rented.

Shen Xing comforted him, "Don't panic, I have money in my card, I'll withdraw it for you."

Deng Min looked at Shen Xing, "Really? Isn't this a bit bad? You're just a student, how can I ask you for so much money?"

"My parents called me. Don't worry, 10,000 yuan is nothing to me. Auntie's surgery is more important."

Deng Min lowered his eyes, nodded, and said nothing more.

Shen Xing took her to a nearby bank branch and withdrew 10,000 yuan. Fearing that it was not enough, Shen Xing withdrew 5,000 yuan more, giving a total of 15,000 yuan to Deng Min.

"Which hospital is your aunt in now? I'll go with you!"

Deng Min held the money in her hand, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it: "No need, my parents are very opposed to my dating, I told them to go to our class teacher to borrow money, if you go..."

After hearing this, Shen Xing could only nod and say, "Okay, go to the hospital and pay the bill. If you need money again, remember to tell me."

"I see."

After Deng Min finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Somehow, Shen Xing suddenly felt a little panicked, but he quickly ignored it and didn't take it seriously.

…

During the Chinese New Year, the Pei family planned to return to Huangsha Village to celebrate the New Year and burn paper at the graves as in previous years.

However, Pei Tiantian unexpectedly caught a cold the day before returning to the village. She lay in bed to rest, looking like a pitiful little eggplant hit by frost.

The climate in Huangsha Village is much colder than in the city. Wang Ruizhen felt sorry for Pei Tiantian, so she let her stay at home and not go to the countryside with them.

Gu Rong stayed to accompany Pei Tiantian.

Wang Ruizhen was very confident in Gu Rong. Gu Rong had learned good cooking skills from them over the past few years, and cooking was no longer a difficult task for him.

After Wang Ruizhen gave Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian a few instructions, she left with the rest of the Pei family.

This cold came on so fiercely that Pei Tiantian felt like her nose was broken. She had a runny nose all the time, which turned red from being wiped by tissues and hurt when touched. She also felt dizzy and cold all over. She could only curl up in bed.

In order not to attract the attention of the Pei family, Pei Tiantian waited until Wang Ruizhen left before she got out of bed. She then hurriedly looked for medicine in the space and drank a few glasses of spiritual spring water.

After a good sleep, Pei Tiantian felt that her cold was almost healed.

But she still pretended to be weak and lay in bed.

There is no other reason.

The villain boss is really good at taking care of people.

Three meals a day were brought to her room and she was fed personally. Whenever the water in the cup beside the bed got cold, she would immediately pour a new cup of hot water so that she could drink hot water anytime and anywhere.

Pei Tiantian was treated so delicately by the villain that she became a little lazy.

Hehe, anyway, Gu Rong doesn’t know that he is not well.

Just let him continue to serve me like this.

Gu Rong placed a pillow behind Pei Tiantian and brought over a few melodramatic romance novels and newspapers as she instructed.

Suddenly, Gu Rong heard Pei Tiantian's thoughts and learned that Pei Tiantian had recovered after taking the medicine in the space.

The little girl still pretended to be weak and looked at Gu Rong pitifully: "Brother Gu Rong, this water is so bland, can you add some sugar for me? I want to drink sugar water."

Gu Rong pursed his lips and watched her performance quietly, but didn't say anything. He reached out and picked up the water cup and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of sugar water for Pei Tiantian.

Pei Tiantian drank the sugar water, which tasted sweet, and felt her whole mood improved.

She was flipping through the books and newspapers in her hands, and happened to learn from the newspaper that during the New Year, the city’s cinema would show a movie called "Small Town Women", and the heroine of this movie was Jiang Ziyu.

When Pei Tiantian saw this, her eyes suddenly lit up. This was played by Aunt Ziyu, so she had to go and support her no matter what.

Pei Tiantian said excitedly: "Brother Gu Rong, let's go out and watch this movie now and contribute to Aunt Ziyu's box office!"

Gu Rong remained motionless: "Your cold is still not healed, right? You can't go out."

Pei Tiantian was choked.

She had forgotten that she was pretending to be sick.

Pei Tiantian could only stay at home for two days, pretending that her cold was slowly getting better, and only then did Gu Rong allow her to go out.

This time when she went out, Pei Tiantian's dressing was supervised by Gu Rong the whole time.

Because she had a cold before, Pei Tiantian didn’t wear thick clothes when she went out to play, so she caught a cold.

Gu Rong made Pei Tiantian wear the thickest down jacket, and also gave her a scarf, a cotton hat and two cotton gloves. She was dressed like a fat penguin, and then he took Pei Tiantian out.

Pei Tiantian looked at Gu Rong with great sadness and anger.

The boy is tall, with long legs, and looks like a model in whatever he wears.

Pei Tiantian is only 1.6 meters tall and yet she is wearing so many clothes. She is fat and short, and looks like a dwarf compared to Gu Rong.

Pei Tiantian didn't want to stand with Gu Rong anymore, the contrast was too tragic.

After arriving at the cinema, Gu Rong went to buy tickets while Pei Tiantian went to buy a big bucket of popcorn. Pei Tiantian held the popcorn and ate one after another.

It smells so good.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar girl. Pei Tiantian hurriedly took a few steps forward, her eyes widened in disbelief.

The girl was holding the arm of a fat man wearing glasses and acting coquettishly to him. The two of them looked very close.

And that girl was none other than Shen Xing’s new girlfriend Deng Min.

Pei Tiantian took a deep breath and calmed down.

Don't think too much. What if this man is Deng Min's brother, or...

Pei Tiantian was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of her.

Because the fat man bent down and kissed Deng Min on the cheek, Deng Min smiled shyly and hit him with her hand, signaling him not to do that in public.

Pei Tiantian stood there stiffly. If she was still trying to find a reason to convince herself before, what about now?

These two people are flirting like a young couple. Does this mean they are innocent?

When Pei Tiantian saw Gu Rong coming to buy the ticket, she quickly pulled him to look over there. Gu Rong looked in the direction Pei Tiantian pointed and saw Deng Min and another strange man.

Gu Rong frowned.

Pei Tiantian struggled and said, "Brother Gu Rong, tell me, am I overthinking it? Maybe they are innocent."

Gu Rong: "Don't fool yourself. It looks like the relationship between the two of them is not simple."

Pei Tiantian's expression became very complicated.

But isn’t Shen Xing Deng Min’s boyfriend?

And it was obviously Deng Min who pursued Shen Xing, but Shen Xing refused at first. If Deng Min hadn't been so devoted, Shen Xing would not have been moved.

However, he had only been together with Shen Xing for a short time, so how come he was with someone else so soon?

Gu Rong shook his head: "Don't think too much, time is almost up, let's go in first."

Gu Rong felt that Shen Xing was most likely being cheated on. He knew where Shen Xing lived and planned to find time to find him and tell him what he saw today.

Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong entered the theater and began to watch the movie attentively.

The Woman in a Small Town tells the story of a trafficked college student named Xiang Xiaojuan. Xiang Xiaojuan was just buying things in a store, but was spotted by human traffickers on her way home. The traffickers knocked her unconscious and sold her to the village for 500 yuan.

Xiang Xiaojuan arrived at the village and failed to escape several times.

It was not until the police finally cracked the human trafficking case that the woman finally returned from her small village and reunited with her parents.

Xiang Xiaojuan hated everything here, including her three children, so when she got the chance, she left without looking back.

She did not, like other trafficked women, just live a mediocre life for the sake of her children.

Jiang Ziyu's acting skills have improved again, which is especially obvious in this movie.

Especially the last shot, when Xiang Xiaojuan was asked by the police whether she wanted to leave, she looked at her three young children indifferently.

The three children cried loudly and begged her to stay.

And her so-called husband said she was cruel and didn't even want their child.

There was no trace of reluctance in her wooden, dull eyes, only relief.

That look was so penetrating that it stirred the emotions of all the audience.

Xiang Xiaojuan has always wanted to leave here and her mind is very determined.

Even though she was forced to marry that man and give birth to a child, she left without hesitation.

After watching this movie, Pei Tiantian felt a little heavy.

Human traffickers really deserve to die because their greed ruins the lives of those women.

Xiang Xiaojuan was originally a female college student with a bright future. If she had not been abducted by human traffickers, she would have had a decent job and even a happy family. However, due to the greed of the traffickers, the bright future of a female college student was ruined for the sake of 500 yuan.

After Pei Tiantian walked out of the theater, she said to Gu Rong, "Fortunately, the ending was good. Thanks to the police for helping to solve the case, Xiang Xiaojuan returned to her family. Otherwise, it would have been too painful."
