The person in front of her, Xi Mufan, was her classmate with whom she had a very special connection.
She and he were classmates in elementary school, middle school, high school, and even university.
Such a coincidence is truly rare!
Looking at Xi Mufan in front of her, Guan Wenru's eyes welled up with tears.
At this moment, Xi Mufan still has a face with sharp features, and he looks very handsome and upright.
His nose was very high and straight, and his eyes were always crescent-shaped, as if he was always smiling, like the bright crescent moon in the night sky.
It's so great to see such a spirited young man again!
Xi Mufan's life in his previous life was not very smooth.
He is of mixed race; his great-grandfather was British.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen, and many foreigners came to Qing territory. My great-grandfather married and had children in Beijing.
But later he abandoned his wife and children and returned to England alone.
People like Xi Mufan's family were labeled as "five black categories" during the movement and were sent to remote areas to undergo labor reform.
During those 10 years, the situation of the "Five Black Categories" was extremely miserable.
Several members of Xi Mufan's family did not survive.
Xi Mufan endured a lot of torment during those 10 years.
His handsome face was now marred by several hideous scars, no one knew how.
After the movement ended, he returned here, but his personality had changed drastically.
A smile never appeared on his face again.
Seeing him staring intently at her, Xi Mufan blinked and flicked her forehead again, "Are you stunned by my handsomeness?"
Guan Wenru snapped out of her daze and chuckled, "Yes, yes, I was stunned by your handsomeness. Who told you to be so good-looking? By the way... what are you doing here? Did something happen?"
Xi Mufan shrugged. "Of course I came to see you. Are you free now? Let's chat for a bit."
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"It's related to that person. Aren't you two already married? What did you mean by what you just said to him?"
Xi Mufan also attended Guan Wenru's wedding, so he knew that Han Haoxian was the groom who came to pick up the bride that day.
However, only a few days later, Guan Wenru's legal husband had become He Yanzhi.
Guan Wenru raised her hand and scratched her hair, then gave him a brief explanation.
After listening, Xi Mufan breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's not too late. I came here today because of Han Haoxian. Yesterday, I saw him helping a pregnant woman into the hospital in Xiang'an Hutong. He even kissed the woman on the cheek."
I thought he was your husband, so I came here today to try my luck and see if I could see you so I could give you a heads-up.
I see!
Guan Wenru smiled and lightly punched his shoulder. "Thanks, but my matter with him is resolved. Didn't you see what that pregnant woman looked like yesterday?"
Xi Mufan nodded, "I only saw her profile."
"No wonder, that pregnant woman is our classmate, Zhao Mei."
Xi Mufan: "..."
A rare look of surprise crossed his eyes.
For a moment, I didn't know how to react.
Seeing his silly look, Guan Wenru laughed again, "I don't want to discuss their petty affairs anymore. I'm going to find Feifei now, do you want to come?"
Xi Mufan shook his head, "Go ahead, I have something to do at home."
"Okay, goodbye then."
Guan Wenru was very decisive; she turned and left immediately.
Watching her receding figure, Xi Mufan suddenly thought of something and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
...
When Guan Wenru came over, Duan Feifei looked worried and was staring at the black and white photo on the table, struggling with her problem.
Upon hearing the knock, she immediately rushed to open the door.
Upon seeing Guan Wenru, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Guan Wenru inside, saying, "You've finally come. I thought you were angry with me and would never come to see me again."
The two had a disagreement that day and parted on bad terms.
Seeing her attitude, Guan Wenru raised an eyebrow. "Have you thought it through? What did your parents say?"
Duan Feifei said helplessly, "This is not something I can figure out. When my parents heard that your parents had applied to support rural development, they went to the school to inquire about it."
They must have realized something was wrong. Anyway, they wrote an application after they came back and are preparing to follow your parents' example.
But they didn't approve of me going to the countryside with them, and they weren't sure if they could protect me.
After saying this, she picked up a few photos from the coffee table and handed them to Guan Wenru. "So! They also found a way out for me, wanting me to get married like you!"
Guan Wenru took the photo and examined it carefully.
The men in all four photos are wearing military uniforms and are clearly soldiers.
All four of them had rather decent appearances.
While not stunning, it's definitely not ugly.
But Guan Wenru could tell that Duan Feifei didn't want to choose any of them.
She put the photo back on the coffee table. "What are your concerns now? Are you still hung up on Lin Jie?"
"No, that's not it. I went to see Lin Jie yesterday. I went straight to the point and asked him if he would marry me. He said he didn't have any feelings for me in that way at all."
Having received the answer, my heart died. I'm not against getting married now, but I really don't feel anything for these people. I'm just afraid that if I enter into marriage, we'll become a resentful couple, and wouldn't my life be ruined?
"..." Guan Wenru wanted to tell her that if marriage didn't work out, they could get a divorce.
In any case, these people are all soldiers with impeccable revolutionary credentials; marrying them would at least save your life.
However, when she thought about her current situation with He Yanzhi, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.
If she had known earlier that He Yanzhi disliked her, frankly, she would have chosen not to marry him either.
She preferred to go to the countryside with her parents.
