"Does it hurt?" Gu Sinian rubbed her elbow, which she had bumped when she was knocked down.
The man was heartbroken and kept blaming himself for not protecting her well.
Su Ying shook her head, "It's alright. It doesn't hurt as much now."
Gu Sinian pointed to Su Ying's crossbody bag, "I remember you have ointment in your bag, take it out and I'll apply it for you."
Su Ying stared wide-eyed in disbelief. This man could lie so easily. When had he ever seen ointment in her bag? He clearly saw it when he entered her space a few times before.
They're saying it so openly; aren't they afraid others will discover the trick?
"Are you crazy? There are people on the oxcart! Just because you pretend she doesn't exist doesn't mean she really doesn't exist."
Gu Siqing casually uttered a sentence, "I didn't see anyone else on the oxcart, I only saw a driver helping us drive the oxcart."
"You must not have been sleeping well these past two days. You've seen things you shouldn't have. You need to wash your eyes."
From the moment Qiao Xiyan got on the oxcart until now, Gu Sinian has been constantly harassing her.
She knew very well that Gu Sinian was deliberately saying it for Su Ying to hear. If it were just her and him on the oxcart, Gu Sinian wouldn't even have a chance to speak and would have chosen to remain silent until they reached their destination.
They wouldn't even spare her a second glance, treating her completely as if she were invisible.
"Gu Sinian, don't go too far. We are engaged. Do you think it's appropriate for you to be holding another woman's arm?"
Gu Sinian's biggest annoyance was his past engagement with her, which he considered a disgrace.
This made him feel inferior to Su Ying, but after thinking about Su Ying's engagement to Jiang Yibo, he felt that he was in a good position again.
Qiao Xiyan kept bringing up their engagement every day, which made him very irritable.
"Can you please stop bringing up that so-called engagement all the time? Are you trying to remind us how stupid the Gu family is, that we're being played like puppets by you?"
Gu Sinian, who showed no emotion and had a fierce look in his eyes, made her feel a little scared.
"Si Nian, what nonsense are you talking about? I truly love you, which is why Aunt Ya Xian agreed to let us get engaged. What did you mean by what you just said? I didn't understand."
"Didn't you understand? Qiao Xiyan, don't pretend in front of me. Don't you know what kind of person you are?"
"I'm too lazy to play those roundabout tricks with you. I find them annoying. I feel uncomfortable even looking at you for a second."
"Could you please stop using that old engagement to disgust me in the future?"
"You say that in front of the girl I like. You know what you're really thinking."
“If I ever hear you mention our ridiculous engagement again, I wouldn’t mind getting a letter of annulment from Grandpa, printing thousands of copies and distributing them to the villagers of Willow Tree Village, so they can gossip about it and you can become the laughing stock of their conversations.”
Qiao Xiyan looked at Gu Sinian with teary eyes, feeling wronged, "You...you...do you hate me that much?"
Gu Sinian rolled his eyes again and again. Here we go again. He's answered this question no less than twenty times. He's fed up with it.
"You knowingly ask questions and invite humiliation, you're just asking for trouble, Qiao Xiyan, you're the first person like that... I'm starting to admire your shamelessness..."
Qiao Xiyan opened her mouth as if to say something, but Gu Sinian abruptly interrupted her.
"I get really annoyed when I hear your voice. Please shut up. I need to apply medicine to my boyfriend."
"She's your girlfriend? Then what am I?"
"A quack remedy! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"you……"
"Shut up. I don't want to talk to you. I've said so much to you, but you only selectively listen to what you want to hear. You selectively ignore other people's honest advice, right? Otherwise, I've wasted so much breath, and you haven't listened to a single thing I said."
Su Ying nudged Gu Sinian's arm, telling him to stop talking. Even the most thick-skinned girl couldn't withstand his hurtful words. Didn't she see that Qiao Xiyan's face had turned pale?
"Give this water bottle to Comrade Sun. He didn't eat or drink anything and just acted as our free driver. We feel a little bad about it."
"Don't worry about him. The captain said that if he gets thirsty, he can stop the car and drink the river water. That will quench his thirst just the same. The water in this kettle is brown sugar water that I specially made for you at noon to help you recover. Didn't you start your period?"
"You were just complaining about the pain, and you said drinking more brown sugar water would be good for your health, but you gave my heart to another man. I feel bad, I'm jealous."
Su Ying gritted her teeth and whispered in Gu Sinian's ear, "Shut up. Keep your voice down. What if someone finds out?"
Gu Sinian gently pinched Su Ying's nose and said with a doting expression, "Silly girl, I've already announced your identity. Whispering won't help. They all know you're my boyfriend."
Su Ying was too anxious and forgot that there were only four people on the train. She selectively ignored Qiao Xiyan, who had been glaring at them the whole way, while Sun Xuelin, who was rushing to catch the train, chose to remain silent.
"Quickly give the brown sugar water to Comrade Sun, lest he go hungry."
The man looked at the other person with a jealous expression, "If I hadn't eaten today, would you be this concerned about me?"
"Of course. But Comrade Sun was implicated because of us."
That's true. Sun Xuelin was an innocent bystander. He was originally at home eating lunch and taking a nap at this time, and was supposed to go to work as usual in the afternoon, but he was dragged into this and had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
With so much space in his White Sugar Space, if it weren't for this eyesore, he would be holding Su Ying in a sweet embrace right now, instead of having to spend over four hours traveling to the supply and marketing cooperative.
