"You know everything?"

"Yes, your lies are easy to expose. It's just that you are lucky that Uncle Zhou is on family leave."

Lu Jiangting nodded, "Yes, I originally... I originally just asked Lao Zhou to keep it a secret for me for a while. I thought I could use this time to clarify the misunderstanding with you, and I thought we could start over.

But I didn't expect that you were so determined to leave me. All these days, not only have we not resolved the misunderstanding, but it has only deepened..."

"There is no misunderstanding." Lin Yuyao interrupted him directly and said, "It's not that the misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper, but... there is no misunderstanding between us at all. What you did is true, there is no misunderstanding.

It is also true that Fang Qing will cling to you like a vine throughout your life, and you cannot get rid of her. I have always told you very clearly, but you just don’t believe it, or you don’t want to believe it.”

"I..." Lu Jiangting said with red eyes: "Yuyao, is there really no chance for us anymore?"

This book was first published on Taiwan Novel Network → 𝑡𝑤𝑘𝑎𝑛.𝑐𝑜𝑚, providing you with a reading experience with correct chapters and no disordered chapters.

"Yes, it's impossible. I have accepted it, and I hope you can accept it sooner and stop deceiving yourself. Everything I said to you was true, and I didn't play hard to get. What you did to me last time..."

She suddenly gave a bitter smile and said, "Forget it. Anyway, we can go find Lao Zhou together tomorrow and get our things back. From now on... we have nothing to do with each other."

After saying that, she turned and left, quickly entering the crowd.

This time, Lu Jiangting did not catch up.

Lin Yuyao bought two steamed buns and took them home to fill her stomach with the salted vegetables she brought from home.

I met Lu Jiangting today. She was in a bad mood and didn't want to cook.

Just make do with two steamed buns. Save as much as you can. Eating out is so expensive.

After eating, she turned on the desk lamp and continued writing.

The light from the desk lamp is really bright, many times brighter than the hanging bulb on the ceiling.

She thought that this desk lamp must be expensive.

If you think about it carefully, in that dream, it seemed that she bought a desk lamp for her daughter many years later.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she found that as she got farther and farther away from Lu Jiangting, the terrible dream began to become blurred.

Apart from remembering that she was extremely miserable and some major events and twists in her destiny that were still fresh in her memory, she could not remember any details.

It is a good thing to forget the past and welcome the new life.

…

The next day, Lin Yuyao got up very early.

She washed her face with cold water, braided her hair, put on the beautiful dress and went out.

But unexpectedly, I saw Lu Jiangting in front of the bus stop closest to my home.

He was wearing a neat military uniform, was tall and good-looking, and stood out in the crowd.

She must have been overwhelmed by his appearance before, but what he did was too cruel, and even after the filter was broken, that was all.

Lin Yuyao stopped and wanted to change the station.

But then she thought again, there seemed to be only one bus to the city center at this time. Whether she went to the previous stop or the next stop, she would end up on the same bus with Lu Jiangting. It didn't seem to make much difference whether she changed or not.

Just then the car came again.

Forget it, never mind, just go up.

Lu Jiangting also saw Lin Yuyao. He got into the car before her and paid for both of them.

Lin Yuyao took out some money and wanted to give it to him.

But then he thought, he still owed her three hundred dollars.

And he certainly won't pay her back with interest.

Fang Qing's barber shop is going to close down and they can't pay it back.

Forget it, just consider it interest.

Lu Jiangting looked at her and asked her, "Is this the clothes Fu Huaiyi bought for you?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"It's really beautiful, and it must be expensive. If it were me..." If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to buy her clothes that cost dozens of dollars.

"I'll return it to him. You don't have to be so weird here."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

She misunderstood again. Is this how she protects Fu Huaiyi?

Afraid of tarnishing his reputation.

There was nothing innocent in the way Fu Huaiyi looked at her. His reputation was damaged because of this, but it was not unjust at all.

"You want to draw a line between you and me today, so is that why you are dressed so beautifully?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Humph, that's really annoying.

Lin Yuyao felt very uncomfortable being looked at by him. It was annoying enough already, and she had to listen to his occasional sarcasm.

There weren't many people on the early morning bus, and since their town was the starting station, there were many empty seats.

Lin Yuyao held her small cloth bag and moved to the back seat, away from Lu Jiangting.

Yes, it’s really annoying. Stay away from annoying people.

In fact, she never cared about what to wear. She only had two sets of clothes, and if one set was washed, she could only wear the other one.

Of course, she is actually considered one of the better ones in the village.

In some poorer families, several children would only have one set of clothes that were slightly better and presentable.

Whoever goes out wears it.

Many people go barefoot even when they grow up. In the countryside, such children can be found everywhere.

Her family prepared two sets of clothes for her to change into and out of for every season, from childhood to adulthood.

Her younger brother Lin Ping had never worn new clothes and only wore the leftovers from his older brother Lin Gang.

Her situation is better than many people.

…

Public buses are slow, especially those that load passengers as they go.

There were only a few people on the bus when we got on, but now it is packed with people.

The door couldn't be closed, and there were several things hanging on the door.

It was wobbling and driving very slowly.

The good thing is that if there is really no room, there is no need to stop the car to load people.

After arriving in the city, servants began to come one after another.

Although there is a bus stop, the traffic control is not that strict these days.

Whether the bus stops or not does not depend on whether it has reached the station, but on whether there are people who need to get off or get on.

The bus went around and swayed for almost three hours before finally arriving at the military district office in the city.

Lin Yuyao got out of the car, her face pale, and she began to vomit while holding onto a tree by the roadside.

She was not prone to motion sickness, but the ride in this car was so uncomfortable. She was like tofu in a filter, being tossed back and forth and filtered through the entire journey. It was hard not to vomit.

It wasn't just her. There were seven or eight people standing there. Besides her, there were two others who were holding onto the tree and vomiting. The faces of the others also looked bad.

Lu Jiangting, on the other hand, had nothing to do and asked her all sorts of questions out of concern.

Anyone who suffers from carsickness knows that she couldn't speak at all in her condition and didn't have the energy to speak.

Finally she vomited it out, and after that she felt like she was alive again.

She took out her water cup, drank some water and rinsed her mouth a few times, but the taste was still in her mouth.

Forget it, just bear with it.

It's getting late, we need to get down to business.

Seeing her turn around and walk forward, Lu Jiangting followed her.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Yuyao ignored him and took out the address Fu Huaiyi gave her.

She still has to look for it.

Lu Jiangting then said, "I know where it is, just follow me."

Well……

All right.

This old street is actually really hard to find.

Following Lu Jiangting, we walked through many twists and turns and it took us about twenty minutes to arrive.
