“Then I’ll go,” Jiang Yue said firmly.
“Xiaoxi, I want to go to your house too,” Shen Jiaojiao said. She didn’t want to go back to the Shen family. She was afraid that if she went back, her grandmother would use her to exchange for a bride price, because her grandmother didn’t like her at all.
“Of course you can, but everyone around my house knows you, so you’ll have to stay at a guesthouse. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if someone saw you and told your grandma,” Wenxi said.
"Fine, stay in a guesthouse then," Shen Jiaojiao said angrily.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Okay, then the three of us will go back together."
It wasn't time yet, so Wenxi didn't go to Captain Qian to ask for leave to visit her family.
That morning, Gu Ningzhi arrived at Fengshou Brigade in his transport team's taxi. Gu Ningzhi had helped Fengshou Brigade deliver grain several times, saving the villagers a lot of trouble. As a result, many villagers knew him, and many wanted to marry their daughters to him.
After all, he drives a big truck, so his salary is high and he makes a lot of money. If I could marry him, I would definitely be able to lead my whole family to a good life in the future.
However, Gu Ningzhi has high standards and insists on finding a particularly beautiful partner. He had his eye on Wen Xi before, but Wen Xi already had a boyfriend. Now he has his eye on Wang Xinru, because Wang Xinru is the second girl who has caught his eye.
Of course, it's not unreasonable for him to have this requirement. After all, everyone has requirements for their other half. Girls want to marry someone with good conditions and want to live a good life, while boys want to find someone beautiful. This is all normal.
There's nothing wrong with that, but being fickle and indecisive is a matter of character.
Gu Ningzhi got out of the car and walked towards the educated youth settlement. When he arrived at the gate of the settlement, he saw that the gate was closed, so he reached out and knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, Yang Li came out of the girls' dormitory, opened the gate, and saw Gu Ningzhi. Yang Li immediately smiled broadly, "Gu Ningzhi, what brings you here? Did you come to see me?"
The door suddenly opened, and Gu Ningzhi almost hit Yang Li on the forehead. He quickly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly, "Yang Li, is Wang Xinru inside? Could you please call Wang Xinru for me?"
A glint of malice flashed in Yang Li's eyes, and she shook her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wang Xinru isn't here. A man picked her up to go to the movies. Although Wang Xinru didn't say anything, the two of them seemed to be acting strangely, and their relationship probably isn't so innocent."
Gu Ningzhi paused for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Yang Li, thank you. Since Wang Xinru isn't here, I'll be leaving now."
"Gu Ningzhi, I'm going to the county town to buy some things. Can you take me there? I've never been to the county town before!" Yang Li called out hurriedly, afraid that Gu Ningzhi would leave.
“I was just about to go back to the county town, okay.” Gu Ningzhi nodded.
"Gu Ningzhi, could you please wait for me?" Yang Li happily turned around and ran back to the dormitory, grabbed her canvas bag, checked that she still had money and tickets inside, slung the bag over her shoulder, and hurried out. Then she left with Gu Ningzhi.
The villagers were quite surprised to see Gu Ningzhi pick up Yang Li. Was Gu Ningzhi pursuing Yang Li because he had taken a liking to her, or were they already dating?
These city girls are so annoying! They finally found a good guy, and they snatched him away. The girls from the village have no hope at all!
When they reached the car, Gu Ningzhi helped Yang Li into it, then got in and drove away. After they left the village, Yang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief.
"Gu Ningzhi, thank you so much! It's so great to be able to ride with you directly to the county town. If I went by myself, it would probably take several hours to get there, and I wouldn't even have a chance to properly explore before having to rush back." Yang Li looked at Gu Ningzhi with eyes full of admiration.
What men find most irresistible is a woman's adoration. Yang Li's adoration made Gu Ningzhi somewhat uncomfortable. The temperature in the carriage kept rising, making him feel as if his body was also getting warmer.
Yang Li kept initiating conversation, occasionally revealing things like, "I really envy your future partner, having such a wonderful person like you," "If I had a partner as wonderful as you, I would definitely cherish and pamper him," and "If I could marry a man like you, I would definitely take good care of your parents and children, allowing you to focus on your career without any distractions."
All sorts of sweet words made Gu Ningzhi feel elated, and also made him think that Yang Li was truly a good candidate for a wife who could manage a household well.
A good wife is one who is virtuous; with a virtuous wife, the family will prosper.
When they arrived in the county town, Gu Ningzhi still felt a little unsatisfied; he hadn't heard enough of those sweet words!
"Gu Ningzhi, are you going home to rest now?"
Gu Ningzhi nodded. "I'll rest in my dorm."
"So you're free today, right? Can you come shopping with me? After I'm done shopping, I'll treat you to a movie as a thank you for giving me a ride, okay?" Yang Li blinked and asked. "You saved me the train fare, so it's only right that I treat you to a movie."
Gu Ningzhi thought for a moment and then nodded. He drove the car into the transportation team's parking lot and parked it. Just as he was about to take Yang Li out, Yang Li pointed to Gu Ningzhi's clothes and said, "Your clothes are dirty here. Go back to the dormitory and change. Anyway, we still have more than half a day. I'm not in a hurry."
Afterwards, Gu Ningzhi went back to his dormitory to change his clothes. He couldn't leave Yang Li, a girl, alone in the parking lot, since these men always liked to say lewd things. So he took Yang Li back to his dormitory.
Gu Ningzhi lived in a single dormitory room, which was only about ten square meters. Inside, there was only a bed, a table, a wardrobe, and several large boxes.
With nowhere to sit except on the bed, Gu Ningzhi had no choice but to let Yang Li sit on the edge of the bed.
Yang Li stared at Gu Ningzhi with her big eyes, and through the movement of his raised arm, she saw his abs under his shirt. She looked mesmerized, which warmed Gu Ningzhi's heart and made him want to show off even more. So he not only took off his coat, but also his sweater, and then opened the wardrobe to take out clothes while wearing his thermal underwear.
"Gu Ningzhi, wait a moment," Yang Li called out.
Gu Ningzhi turned around and looked at Yang Li suspiciously. "What's wrong?"
Yang Li came to Gu Ningzhi, squatted down, and then used her teeth to bite off the loose thread on the hem of his thermal underwear. During this time, Gu Ningzhi felt a rush of blood to his head, and he felt completely stunned and unable to think.
