Wen Xi smiled and didn't say anything. If Wang Xinru brought something over next time and asked her to help with processing, she wouldn't refuse. But right now, she didn't want to take on any extra work herself, lest others think she had ulterior motives.
In the afternoon, everyone at the educated youth settlement went up the mountain together to collect firewood. Since they didn't have heated kang beds here, the demand for firewood wasn't very high, but cooking and boiling water both required firewood, so everyone went up the mountain together to collect firewood.
There is work in winter, but not much, and it's okay if people don't go to work sometimes.
There were many people, so everyone scattered when they got to the mountain. In an unfamiliar place, Wang Xinru didn't dare to act alone, so she followed Wang Caiyun and Tian Xiaoke. The two of them were already married and didn't have any obvious problems.
Unlike Xu Mengying, who only knows how to cling to Gu Huai'an; Yang Li often flirts with Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun, even though she knows that both of them are married. It's really disgusting. She despises people who steal other men's partners.
And that Zuo Qiuyi, I wonder what kind of evil he's up to!
After thinking it over, I decided it would be safer to stay with Tian Xiaoke and Wang Caiyun.
After a while, seeing Gu Huai'an carrying Xu Mengying over, Jiang Mo asked worriedly, "Gu Huai'an, what happened to Xu Mengying?"
"She just rolled down the hillside and probably sprained her ankle. I'll take her to the clinic first, and then I'll come back to help everyone gather firewood," Gu Huai'an said.
Jiang Mo waved his hand, "No need, you take good care of Xu Mengying, we can handle the firewood."
After that, Gu Huai'an carried Xu Mengying down the mountain. Xu Mengying hugged Gu Huai'an's neck tightly with both hands, looked at the back of his head, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Away from the crowd, Xu Mengying turned her head and looked around. It was quiet and there was no one around. She then tried to lean forward and kissed Gu Huai'an on the cheek.
When Gu Huai'an turned to look at her in shock, she seized the opportunity and leaned in to cover his mouth. Gu Huai'an froze, his hand loosened, and if Xu Mengying hadn't been holding him tightly, he probably would have fallen to the ground.
Xu Mengying moved from behind Gu Huai'an to the front, wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders, and deepened the kiss...
"Goodness, are all young people these days so wild? Just like that, openly embracing and kissing like that? Even hooligans know to hide in the woods so no one can see them, are these people really so shameless?"
"It's understandable that young people have short tempers!"
Upon hearing the voices, Xu Mengying's expression changed. She then looked in the direction of the sound and saw several women standing there, looking at them.
"Huai'an and I are dating, can't we do this kind of thing? Can you honestly say that when you were dating, you didn't secretly hold hands? You didn't secretly kiss?"
The women grimaced and then turned and left.
“Xu…”
As soon as Gu Huai'an opened his mouth to speak, Xu Mengying interrupted him again. Now that everyone knew they were dating, she naturally wouldn't give Gu Huai'an a chance to say no.
Gu Huai'an was afraid of causing Xu Mengying further harm, so he kept supporting her, but she didn't give him a chance to speak, so he could only stand there supporting her.
However, he did not respond to Xu Mengying. His mind was in a mess. Actually, he had a good impression of Tian Shengnan, that dashing girl, but then Xu Mengying appeared. And because of his care for Xu Mengying, Wen Xi, Tian Shengnan, and the other three girls all disliked him.
He didn't understand why his taking care of Xu Mengying, the girl next door, had aroused their resentment.
"Brother Huai'an, why are you still standing here? How many people do you want to be stared at?" Xu Mengying released Gu Huai'an's lips and patted his shoulder. "Go behind that tree over there."
Gu Huai'an's mind was completely blank. Xu Mengying told him to go behind the tree, so he went. Once behind the tree, Xu Mengying, afraid of aggravating her ankle injury, carefully stood on the ground, then pushed Gu Huai'an against the tree trunk, and then moved closer...
Not long after Gu Huai'an carried Xu Mengying away from everyone, they learned from the aunties that the two were dating and had been kissing.
They exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with "Just as I expected," as if this was all perfectly predictable and reasonable.
Gu Huai'an doesn't know how to refuse, and Xu Mengying is good at being coquettish and clingy. Even if Gu Huai'an doesn't fall for her, he will still be with Xu Mengying, because no man can resist a coquettish woman.
Besides, you don't necessarily have to like each other to be together. Aren't there plenty of people who don't like each other but are still together these days?
When Gu Huai'an carried Xu Mengying to the clinic, the doctor saw their swollen lips and understood everything, after all, he was an experienced person.
The doctor examined Xu Mengying and said it was just a sprain. He advised her to apply some medicine and avoid strenuous walking for the time being, and that it would get better in a few days.
Gossip spreads very quickly in the village, and Wenxi soon learned that Gu Huai'an and Xu Mengying were dating. In fact, it was clear from the fact that Gu Huai'an hadn't explicitly rejected them that the two of them were definitely going to be together, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
However, it's not yet clear whether Xu Mengying has any ill intentions.
"Xiaoxi, now that Gu Huai'an and Xu Mengying are dating, will you plant watermelons next year?" Shen Jiaojiao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't let Xu Mengying join us. Even if she's a good person, she's too spoiled, even more spoiled than us. She won't do anything properly; she'll just whine and ask Gu Huai'an or us to do things. If Gu Huai'an is so clueless as to ask us to allow Xu Mengying to join us, then I'll kick Gu Huai'an out immediately," Wen Xi said seriously.
"That's good." Shen Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Xiaoxi, I knew you had a plan in mind."
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, we have a two-week leave to visit our families this year. Do you want to go home?" Wenxi couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of being able to go home and take revenge soon.
She's finally going back to take revenge on her enemies.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips. "I've already severed ties with my family, so I'm not going back."
"How about coming home with me? We have a two-week vacation, might as well take it, right? Come home with me, I'll take you to climb the Great Wall and eat Peking duck, how about that?" Wenxi coaxed gently.
She was mainly worried that someone might plot against Jiang Yue during the two weeks she was away, and since she was far away in her hometown, she wouldn't be able to help him at all!
"Can I?" Jiang Yue looked at Wen Xi excitedly. "Xiao Xi, can I come to your house?"
Wen Xi nodded, "Of course, you can go if you want."
