Su Jin looked very unwell.
The good impression I had just made vanished instantly.
They said no, but here they are, coming to our door.
Su Qiao was watching Xiao Bai's live broadcast.
Hearing this suddenly made my heart ache.
Lu Xiangze went to open the door.
The person at the door immediately twisted their ankle and lunged at him.
Without saying a word, Lu Xiangze jumped backward.
Successfully dodged it.
The woman fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Thankfully, Lu Xiangze's family didn't keep chickens or ducks, otherwise, he probably would have eaten chicken or duck droppings instead of dust.
Li Yanhong spat a few times.
It felt like the loose soil was still in my mouth.
Ever since she fell on the mountain, she hasn't dared to appear in front of Lu Xiangze.
This time she mustered up her courage, and everyone in the village said that she had taken a liking to Su Zhiqing.
But she didn't believe it, clearly...
Li Yanhong reached out to him, "Comrade Lu, can you help me up?"
There are no traps or mechanisms at the entrance, so how could I possibly fall down like this?
Unless you want to eavesdrop.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangze became even more vigilant.
He saw it clearly; the person was falling towards him and trying to throw himself into his arms.
Now you want him to help her up? Dream on!
He must uphold male virtues; that's what Qiaoqiao said.
Don't get close to women who fall down unexpectedly, especially women who seem to want to fall into his arms.
Men are the same.
He can't get involved with these people; he might get scammed if he's not careful.
Lu Xiangze's voice was cold and stern: "No! Is Li Zhiqing trying to extort money for medical expenses? Also, were you eavesdropping just now?"
Su Jin stood in the courtyard, observing coldly.
He wanted to see how Lu Xiangze would react.
"I didn't eavesdrop! I didn't!" Li Yanhong denied repeatedly.
Lu Xiangze looked indifferent. His father-in-law had just given him the cold shoulder, and it was because of this person that his impression of him was completely ruined.
Li Yanhong quickly said, "Actually, my sister has an upset stomach and can't come back from the fields. I wanted to ask you for help."
“It’s not like Yao Zhiqing doesn’t have a boyfriend. Go find her boyfriend. What are you doing coming to me? I know. Are you trying to ruin my reputation, make my boyfriend angry, and cause me to throw a tantrum?”
Li Yanhong felt as if she had never known Lu Xiangze.
"No...actually..."
Lu Xiangze interrupted again.
"Even if Li is in a bad situation, he can go to Song, who is in charge of the educated youth settlement. Asking him for help is sure to be the right thing to do."
As Lu Xiangze spoke, he was about to close the door.
Li Yanhong didn't know where she got the courage from.
He jumped up in a flash.
He asked, "Comrade Lu, don't you like me?"
Lu Xiangze frowned and took a few steps back.
They're giving me the "stay away" look.
"How could I possibly like you! Li Zhiqing, did I do something to make you mistake me for someone else? If so, I will definitely change! I already have a boyfriend, so don't slander me."
Li Yanhong stared at him in astonishment, as if she had never met him before.
Lu Xiangze wasn't like this before.
That's completely wrong.
"Then why did you save me in the first place?"
"Save you? When did I ever save you?"
“A year ago, I fell down the mountain, and you carried me back.”
“Wait, you’ve really mistaken me for someone else. Although I returned a year ago, I have a very good memory and have never carried any comrade down the mountain, let alone a female comrade.”
"How could this be! It was you! I even have eyewitnesses."
Look at her confident expression.
Su Jin couldn't sit still any longer, even though, in this matter, the girl was at a disadvantage.
No one would joke about their reputation.
He took a few steps forward.
"Who is the witness this comrade is referring to? I'd also like to know the whole story."
Although Li Yanhong was dissatisfied, she still mentioned a name.
Wang Ergou.
Lu Xiangze probably already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
"Does Li Zhiqing mean that you like whoever saved you?"
"Yes," Li Yanhong replied confidently.
Lu Xiangze turned around.
He invited Su Jin to accompany him on the trip.
Su Jinxin readily agreed.
Wang Ergou's family lived not far away.
About 100 meters away.
Lu Xiangze stood at his door and called out.
Wang Ergou rushed to open the door.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong? Did you need something?"
"Of course, tell the truth, did you really see me carrying Li Zhiqing down the mountain a year ago?"
Wang Ergou scanned Li Yanhong's face.
He responded with a soft "Yes" like a mosquito.
Li Yanhong, however, seemed to have received tremendous affirmation.
"See? I wasn't lying!"
Lu Xiangze, however, could tell that Wang Ergou was hiding something.
"Ergou, lift your head, look me in the eyes and say it again. It's okay if you lie, but if you lie and cause my girlfriend to leave, that's a much bigger sin."
Wang Ergou never expected that Brother Lu would have a girlfriend in such a short time.
That's true...
Wang Ergou raised his head, revealing a face full of pockmarks.
He was not good-looking and was ridiculed since childhood; no one wanted to play with him.
Later, it was Brother Lu who taught those who were making trouble a lesson, and his situation gradually improved.
But he unintentionally harmed Brother Lu...
He glanced at Li Yanhong, then at Lu Xiangze.
Finally, she went back to her room and took out a hair accessory.
This is the other one that Li Yanhong lost.
“Li Zhiqing, actually… actually, that day, I was the one who saved you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yanhong interrupted him.
"It wasn't you. You're lying to me!"
She turned and ran towards the river.
Su Jin and Lu Xiangze exchanged a glance, sensing something was wrong.
Wang Ergou was allowed to catch up first.
Su Qiao had been watching the show in the space for a long time, and now she had arrived.
"Let's go, follow them and see if anything happens."
The four of them chased after Li Yanhong.
As expected.
Li Yanhong stood on the bridge, looking as if she were about to fall.
When Su Qiao appeared together.
A look of resentment flashed in her eyes.
She appeared first, but Su Qiao unexpectedly came out on top of her.
Even if Wang Ergou saved her, so what?
She has already fallen in love with Lu Xiangze.
Her heart was already beyond repair.
"Lu Xiangze! Do you want me or her?"
Su Qiao turned to look at Lu Xiangze.
Lu Xiangze didn't even look in that direction.
He turned and tugged at Su Qiao's sleeve, explaining, "I don't usually interact with her. She was saved by Er Gou and misunderstood that I was the one who saved her. Other than that, I haven't done anything that could be misunderstood."
Lu Xiangze finished speaking in one breath.
He didn't even break a sweat, as if afraid Su Qiao would get angry and leave.
Su Qiao has already regarded Lu Xiangze as her future partner.
At first, I was quite angry.
But she also knew that she should listen to explanations.
If we don't give them this opportunity, we'll be letting others take advantage of the situation.
Li Yanhong had been keeping a close eye on Su Qiao's movements.
Seeing that Lu Xiangze's first action was to explain to Su Qiao, her fists clenched involuntarily.
She glanced at the river.
It rained the day before yesterday.
The river water was a bit murky, and the water level was also a bit high.
