Zhao Jun's expression was both sly and sly. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "We used to go to the toilet together all the time. Do you think I wouldn't know? You could tell at a glance how imposing and robust I was."
"You were peeking at me!"
"We're all men, why can't people look at each other? You might have even peeked at me, but I know you won't admit it. Besides, everyone has a competitive streak."
What are the consequences of this comparison?
"Of course I admit defeat, Brother Chen. I'm not trying to be mean, but just based on your imposing presence, if any woman married you were to live a life of widowhood, I doubt there would be any woman in the world who wouldn't be living a life of widowhood."
Xue Yanchen didn't seem particularly proud. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard from her that she has a boyfriend now. Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know." Zhao Jun shook his head and teased Xue Yanchen, "Besides you, I haven't seen any other men go to the educated youth settlement to find her. You are one of a kind."
"You probably didn't notice."
"Then I'll be more careful in the future, haha. Brother Chen, are you still hung up on her? You've already broken up, but you're still paying so much attention to her. It makes me think you have ulterior motives."
"No, we've dated before, I'm just asking around."
Zhao Jun nodded: "It's understandable to care about your ex's other half. It's just that you want to see if they are as good as you. To be honest, I think you two are the most compatible. You are a perfect match, a golden couple, a match made in heaven."
"You really think so?" His words seemed to have pleased Xue Yanchen, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
"Of course. But it's a pity you two have already broken up, and she has a new partner. It's too late to say anything now. I think Luo Zhiqing is quite strong-willed, and she definitely doesn't like your fighting and violent nature. Think about it, she doesn't like losing when she fights with others, but she might not win against you. She probably prefers the gentle type, the kind that can arouse her protective instincts. She wouldn't lose a fight against you, and after you get married, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage when you fight as a couple. Hey, why don't you make yourself a little weaker, even weaker than that person, and win Luo Zhiqing back?"
Xue Yanchen slapped him on the shoulder: "Zhao Jun, I really didn't realize you had such a rich imagination, and it's quite quirky too."
"In my opinion, that's very likely the case. Seriously though, are you going to take action or not and bring Luo Zhiqing back?"
After listening to his analysis, Xue Yanchen found himself unable to control his restless heart, but he reminded himself to stay calm and not do anything to hurt Luo Jingyan. "I respect Jingyan's choice."
Luo Jingyan sat opposite them. She noticed that Zhao Jun and Xue Yanchen would occasionally glance at her while they were talking. Were they discussing her?
What is there to discuss about her? They should be discussing Xue Yanchen's current partner, not comparing her to Qin Zhenzhen.
It's kind of ridiculous.
After a twenty-minute break, they continued their hunting.
After the crowd dispersed, Black Tiger used his treasure-hunting ability to find two hibernating snakes for Luo Jingyan, even while inside his spatial dimension. Luo Jingyan then put them into her spatial dimension.
Each hunter brought their own provisions, and at noon, they ate their meal directly on the mountain without having to return.
Luo Jingyan deliberately found a secluded spot to sit and took out warm steamed buns from her bag—actually, from her spatial storage—to eat. Everyone else, except Zhuang Feifei, ate cold, hard multigrain pancakes.
Taking advantage of her spatial ability, Zhuang Feifei took out scallion pancakes for Lu Chengye, claiming it was to thank him for protecting her earlier.
Lu Chengye felt a little embarrassed, but she was so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist and accepted it.
In the afternoon, the hunting team finally spotted wild boars. However, most of the animals were piglets and their mothers. To ensure the wild boars could reproduce and there would be more to hunt in the future, the piglets were not included in the hunting range.
It's winter now, and if the piglets didn't have their mother's care and protection, they probably wouldn't survive the winter. Plus, the mother wild boar is needed to breed the next generation, so she has to stay.
However, they had difficulty finding adult male wild boars. It wasn't until almost dark that they finally hunted down two medium-sized wild boars and carried them down the mountain.
Some people couldn't help but complain: "We used to be able to hunt big wild boars every year, but what happened this year? We haven't seen a single big one. Have big wild boars gone extinct?"
"Could they have all hidden deeper in the mountains?"
"That can't be right. The piglets and the sow are outside. Why would they hide?"
In short, everyone was puzzled as to why there were so few adult male wild boars this year.
On the way, Xue Yanchen noticed that Luo Jingyan was always alone, and he didn't see any particularly weak young men in the hunting party.
I guess the man was too weak and didn't have the ability to go hunting in the mountains.
If her boyfriend were here, he would definitely be there to protect her.
Perhaps out of sheer curiosity about Luo Jingyan's boyfriend, he walked up to her seemingly unintentionally.
Luo Jingyan noticed his approach, and he stopped deliberately avoiding her.
"Brother Xue."
Seeing that Luo Jingyan's attitude towards him was no different from usual, Xue Yanchen felt much more relaxed.
He looked around and asked Luo Jingyan, "If I come here to talk to you, will your boyfriend be jealous? Will he misunderstand and think we have something going on, and get angry with you?"
Luo Jingyan froze for two seconds, then realized she was about to lie to him again.
His eyes were deep, the kind of eyes usually found in people with great cunning, but what she saw was a very clear and innocent gaze.
"Brother Xue, I don't have a boyfriend." She blurted out these words involuntarily.
"What did you say? You don't have a boyfriend?" He was instantly excited, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Luo Jingyan frowned: "Because I knew he had fallen for another girl, I withdrew."
"He's really blind!" Xue Yanchen muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Luo Jingyan felt that his excitement was abnormal.
“I said, since he already has someone he likes, you shouldn’t waste your time on him. You might as well consider other people. Maybe if you take a closer look, you’ll find someone more suitable for you.”
"You're right. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I'll take my time." Luo Jingyan thought of his relationship with Qin Zhenzhen. "Brother Xue, how are things going with your girlfriend?"
"Partner? What partner?" Xue Yanchen was completely confused. "How come I didn't know I had a partner?"
“That day outside your educated youth settlement, I saw you riding a bicycle with a girl on the back. She’s not your girlfriend, could she be a relative?”
“She’s my cousin. She comes to visit me sometimes. That time we went to the county town together to see my grandmother.”
"Oh, I see. I almost thought she was your girlfriend."
"If I had a boyfriend, I would definitely let you know first," he said.
Luo Jingyan was stunned. What did he mean?
