He can't just give up on himself because the girl he likes has a boyfriend. He still has parents and family, and he can't hurt his family.
So he will definitely find a good partner in the future.
When Lin Chuyang looked at her, Wen Xi found it quite strange. Why was he looking at her like that? But since they were going back now, Wen Xi didn't ask any more questions.
When the bus arrived, everyone got on. There were no seats available, so everyone stood on the bus, and we swayed and bumped our way to the town.
After getting off the bus, everyone walked onto the country road next to them. They had only been on the road for a short while when they heard the sound of a car behind them. Everyone quickly moved to the side and couldn't help but turn around to look back.
Gu Ningzhi drove the car next to everyone, leaned over Yang Li, and said to the people on the side of the road near the passenger seat, "I know you all, you're all from the Harvest Brigade. I'm going to the Harvest Brigade anyway, shall I give you a ride?"
"No need, we won't disturb your date." Lin Yiwan refused directly because she saw Yang Li in the passenger seat looking at them with displeasure, which clearly meant she didn't want them to have any contact with her boyfriend.
Moreover, if they ride in Gu Ningzhi's car today, Gu Ningzhi might ask them to take care of Yang Li tomorrow. Should they take care of her or not?
Is it worth getting into so much trouble just for taking a car ride?
After that, Lin Yiwan took Wen Xi's arm and walked forward. It was only a little over an hour's distance, and everyone could manage without needing to owe anyone any favors.
Seeing that no one wanted to ride in his car, Gu Ningzhi started the vehicle and drove forward. Yang Li didn't really want Lin Yiwan and Wen Xi to ride in Gu Ningzhi's car because they were too beautiful, and she was afraid they would steal Gu Ningzhi away.
Although she wouldn't marry Gu Ningzhi, Gu Ningzhi was her cash cow, her 'wallet,' so how could she let Gu Ningzhi have contact with other pretty girls?
Yang Li glanced cautiously at Gu Ningzhi, whose expression was rather unpleasant, and said gently, "You kindly offered them a ride, but they didn't appreciate it at all and didn't even say thank you. They are really so inconsiderate and have disgraced their parents."
"If it were me, I would definitely treat you to a meal to thank you properly."
Yang Li originally wanted to slander them, but she was afraid that if she said something unpleasant, Gu Ningzhi would think that she was the kind of person who could say such things, so she said it in a more tactful way.
Anyway, as long as I can put a little strain on Wen Xi and Lin Yi in front of Gu Ningzhi at night, that's fine.
Gu Ningzhi was naturally angry at being rejected in public, feeling that the two women were ungrateful. He had kindly offered to give them a ride, but they refused. However, listening to Yang Li's gentle tone, his discomfort gradually subsided. Indeed, a woman like Yang Li was the best woman for a good home life.
As Gu Ningzhi drove, he said, "Yang Li, I have to take a long trip and won't be here for a while. I'll bring you a gift then. What kind of gift would you like?"
“Gu Ningzhi, I don’t want any gifts. I just want you to come back safe and sound.” Yang Li looked at Gu Ningzhi with affection. “Of course, if you can prepare a gift for me while you are safe, I will like it even if it is just wildflowers picked by the roadside. Because what matters is not the gift itself, but the meaning behind it.”
Don't be greedy for money!
Gu Ningzhi discovered another admirable quality in Yang Li. He had seen his colleagues in relationships before. When they bought gifts for their partners, the partners didn't like the cheap ones, and they couldn't bear to spend too much money on the expensive ones. After all, they were just dating and not married yet, and spending too much money was easy to waste.
But Yang Li wasn't like them; she valued the sentiment behind the gift, not its monetary worth.
Although Yang Li wasn't his girlfriend, she was very considerate of him, which really touched him. He felt that he should look for a gentle and non-greedy woman as a partner so that they could live a good life together.
Gu Ningzhi pulled the car over to the side of the road, took out some money and tickets from his pocket, and stuffed them into Yang Li's pocket. "I won't be here for a while. When you have time, go to the state-run restaurant and have a good meal. Don't mistreat yourself."
“You…” Yang Li looked at Gu Ningzhi with her big, blinking eyes. “You…you’re so good to me, I don’t know how to thank you.”
But Yang Li was secretly pleased with herself. The first time, she got him to willingly buy her a lot of things, and the second time he started giving her money and tickets. It seemed that she had truly inherited her mother's skills and had men completely under her control.
Then Yang Li leaned over to Gu Ningzhi and kissed him on the cheek, her eyes filled with such deep affection that they seemed almost dripping with tears. "Gu Ningzhi, you're so wonderful. I'm so envious of the girls who will become your girlfriend in the future. Why don't I have such good fortune? Mmm..."
Before she could finish speaking, her upturned lips, which looked like they could hold an oil bottle, were covered. Yang Li stared wide-eyed at Gu Ningzhi in shock.
Gu Ningzhi reached out and blocked her view.
After a long while, Gu Ningzhi finally let go of her, returned to his seat, and wiped the corner of his lips with his fingertip. "I'll come back to find you when I get back."
Knowing that he probably wanted to say something to her, Yang Li couldn't help but feel happy. However, her shy expression with her head down made Gu Ningzhi's heart soften.
He felt that a beautiful wife might be pleasing to the eye, but if he really had a beautiful wife, he would probably have a lot of worries, because he liked beautiful women, and so did others. Rather than finding a beautiful woman to make things difficult for him, he would rather find someone who could truly make a living with him. Besides, Yang Li was of average appearance and not ugly.
When Gu Ningzhi returned after sending Yang Li back to the Fengshou Brigade and met Wen Xi and the others again, they still had half the journey to go. However, they were not in a hurry and walked slowly, taking occasional breaks, so they were not too tired.
As darkness fell, Wenxi arrived home. Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui were still having classes at her house, so the gate was unlocked, and Wenxi simply pushed it open and went inside.
She didn't disturb them, but instead fetched hot water and went to the bathroom, then slipped into the system kitchen to wash up.
When she came out, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui had already gone back, and Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had also gone back to their rooms to rest. That's how they are at home; they don't interfere too much in each other's affairs.
Wenxi really likes this way of getting along.
Wenxi took a shower and dried her hair in the system kitchen. When she returned to her room and lay on the bed, the faint fragrance of her hair filled her nostrils.
Wen Xi smiled faintly, then closed her eyes. She was too tired today, so she wouldn't go to the system kitchen to work. She could just go in and make more tomorrow!
