Leaving Song Yan's house, He Jianian grinned smugly at Li Yuanzhao. He didn't even glance at Jiang Xiaoxiao. "Two stumbling blocks in my way, can you really stop me?"
He Jianian wasn't always able to stay calm. He had heard about Wei Aiguo and was afraid of Wei Aiguo, so he had been keeping quiet.
Now that Wei Aiguo is gone, the educated youth sometimes get treats from Song Yan's family, and Xiaoxiao even more so. Song Yan earns more work points, and Wei Aiguo also receives subsidies, so how could Song Yan's family lack food?
With no one left to fear, He Jianian started strutting around in front of Song Yan. He was convinced that he had the charm to attract Song Yan.
Watching He Jianian's retreating figure, Jiang Xiaoxiao was almost in tears. She had followed him out to discuss with Li Yuanzhao what to do about He Jianian's aggressive advances. Song Yan was being foolish; he shouldn't fall for it again!
Li Yuanzhao patted Jiang Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, "Song Yan has changed a lot, don't be so lacking in confidence. Besides, some things are decisions you have to make yourself. There's no use in others worrying about them!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's shoulders slumped in despair; she wanted to cry. "I know Song Yan has elderly parents and young children at home, and it's hard for her all by herself. She needs care the most right now, and I'm afraid He Jianian will take advantage of her vulnerability."
Thinking of He Jianian, the scoundrel among the educated youth, Li Yuanzhao also felt a headache coming on. He's now involved with Wu Meili and has said so many suggestive things to Song Yan. What kind of person is he? Song Yan's marriage is a military marriage, and disrupting it is illegal. He Jianian breaking the law isn't the main issue; it's just that it makes the educated youth look bad. He might ruin Song Yan's life too. Before, Song Yan was determined to jump into his trap, and no one could stop her. But now, seeing her fall into that trap makes her feel a little guilty. "You should go back and see Song Yan's reaction!"
The knitting group needed a new design, and Song Yan was pondering this, so she didn't have time to think about He Jianian! But unexpectedly, He Jianian shamelessly came forward.
In the past few days, He Jianian has been hanging around the knitting group. The group's members are already fixed, and it's impossible to just add people. But He Jianian insists on showing his generosity, saying he'll do it even without pay, just to serve everyone.
He even dragged Wu Meili along. "Meili, let's do something meaningful together."
Wu Meili didn't want to go to the weaving group, but she endured it for He Jianian's sake. Now that all the educated youth were in the weaving group, it wasn't good for He Jianian to be alone at the educated youth settlement during the day. She couldn't be by his side all the time either. So even though Wu Meili disliked the weaving group and its people, she reluctantly came.
And so, the two of them would wander around the knitting group from time to time.
He Jianian and Wu Meili are two people, and there will always be a time when they separate.
Finally, Wu Meili was away, and Song Yan was home alone again.
"Song Yan, you've suffered."
Song Yan lowered his head, wondering whether he should take the money and beat you up, or just beat you up!
"It's such a cruel twist of fate. Even though we live in the same village, it's so hard for us to even see each other. You were forced to marry, and I had no choice either. Sometimes I think, how wonderful it would be if you hadn't married! I really wanted to protect you for the rest of my life! Every time I stand with Wu Meili, I think, how happy I would be if you were standing by my side! Even now, you're the only one in my heart!"
Song Yan looked up at He Jianian, who was looking at him so intently and sincerely, as if Song Yan was his only one.
Memories flooded back, memories Song Yan hadn't known before. Song Yan couldn't help but pat his head—so many… Perhaps these were the original owner's most cherished things, things she didn't want others to know, which was why Song Yan had remained unaware. But today, however, they stirred within him…
Song Yan always thought the original owner of the body in the original story was stupid, and after accepting the original owner, he felt that the original owner was hopelessly stupid and developed a love-struck mind. But that's not actually the case.
He Jianian is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, his seductive skills are unparalleled. This phrase might apply to women elsewhere, but with He Jianian, it's his perfect match. His sweet talk is unmatched; wouldn't the original owner, this innocent little rabbit, be devoured by him? It would be illogical if the original owner could resist.
Based on his performance right now, he deserves an Oscar.
His eyes revealed no flaw whatsoever.
Therefore, in the original owner's opinion, even if Wei Aiguo tried his best, he would be easily defeated by He Jianian next to her.
"Song Yan, are you even listening to me?"
"Huh?" I was stunned!
"Song Yan, you're sad, aren't you? Me too. Especially knowing you're working like a slave for that Wei family breaks my heart. I even wanted to take you away and leave, to stop suffering like this! Why should Wei Aiguo go off to pursue his future while you're trapped in his family? But it's impossible. We're stuck in this little mountain village, still under Wu Meili's father's control. But he can confine me physically, not emotionally. What about you? Are you like me...?"
Looking at He Jianian's affectionate demeanor, still "sincerely" confessing his love, Song Yan, if she were truly a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, would definitely be unable to resist. Unfortunately, no matter how skilled he is, it's useless; I have my demon-subduing staff, I'll crush you!
Song Yan thought through gritted teeth.
Song Yan originally wanted money, plus a beating, or maybe another beating. Now he's changed his mind and wants to charge interest, and a high interest rate at that.
Song Yan looked at He Jianian with her clear, bright eyes. He Jianian was overjoyed. No girl in the whole village was prettier than her with those eyes!
"I'm having a tough time right now. Can you pay me back the money you borrowed from me?" Song Yanz already knew He Jianian wouldn't pay it back, but he wanted to see his reaction.
"Huh? Money!" He Jianian stammered for a moment. "I've been remembering this. My mom wrote to me last time saying she'd mail it to me once she'd saved enough!"
