After returning from the hospital, she felt listless and lay in bed, feeling drowsy.
Xu Yan looked at her red eyes and patted her head with a little heartache: "Nuonuo, I have to go back. I made an appointment with Aunt Chang and the others to meet at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Xu Nuo grumbled like a kitten, complaining, "I'll be playing alone again tomorrow, so boring."
"Study hard, you're going to go to university." Xu Yan tapped her nose, and Xu Nuo smugly hummed, "Okay, I promise I won't oversleep next time."
Xu Yan went to the countryside to work as an educated youth, while Xu Nuo continued her studies at school until high school, where she consistently achieved top grades.
As soon as the college entrance examination was reinstated, her high school teacher came to her home to tell her to prepare well. However, Xu Nuo overslept and missed the college entrance examination three months ago.
The college entrance examination reform was a great boon for intellectuals. Many educated youths sent to the countryside saw it as their only way out. Even Chang Youxin, the brigade leader of Luxian Village, vaguely felt that education could change the fate of the village's children.
This is why Xu Nuo went to teach in Luxian Village.
Some families are willing to send their children to school, but others are not.
The villagers who didn't send their children to school disagreed with the educated youth teaching, feeling that it was taking away a laborer for nothing.
On one occasion, Xu Nuoming went to Luxian to visit Luo Chen and happened to run into Chang Youxin.
Luo Chen said, "Xiao Nuo has always had good grades since she was little, and she has always been the top student in her class. If she takes the college entrance examination this time, she will definitely be able to get into a good university."
Chang Youxin then mentioned that he wanted to find a teacher.
He had his own selfish motives. He not only wanted to find someone who could teach children, but also someone who could give lessons to Chang Zicheng and the others. Even if they couldn't get into university, getting into a vocational school would be great.
In this era, it's rare to find someone who has enough to eat and wear and still has the idea of keeping faith. His original intention was to ask Xu Nuo if she knew any friends, but he didn't expect Xu Nuo to take the initiative to come to Lu County to attend classes.
But something happened after only one visit.
Xu Yan comforted her for a few words and promised to come to the city to see her in a few days: "I made you some snacks, including your favorite pastries. The honey is wild mountain honey that I asked Luo Chen to get. Remember to drink it. I put hot water in a thermos. Drink it if you are thirsty. I'm leaving now."
Xu Nuo smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Be careful on the road."
A few days later, an uninvited guest arrived at the house.
Another supporting female character in the book, Chen Mingxue, looked at Xu Nuo's leg in a cast and asked in surprise, "Xu Nuo, what happened to you? Weren't you supposed to deliver something to Luo Chen for me? Did you deliver it?"
Xu Nuo raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding me? The original owner still liked Luo Chen at this point, okay? She's even helping her rival deliver something!" She shook her head innocently. "I tripped and fell on the mountain; the things probably fell there too."
"What? You didn't deliver it?"
Xu Nuo was also unhappy: "I've fallen like this, how am I supposed to deliver it?"
"I don't care, you actually lost the things I gave to Luo Chen, I...I..."
Xu Nuo shrank back warily: "What?"
To everyone's surprise, Chen Mingxue burst into tears. Xu Nuo quickly comforted her, "Oh dear, don't cry. Next time, next time, I'll definitely bring it to you when my leg is better. Or, or how about I ask him to meet you?"
Chen Mingxue looked up at her with red eyes: "Really?"
Xu Nuo nodded: "Really, really. You should dress up nicely and look your best when you go to see him, then give him the gift, wouldn't that be better?"
Chen Mingxue stamped her foot: "But doesn't he only care about Xu Yan? Will he come out to meet me?"
Xu Nuo frowned in thought. Luo Chen did like Xu Yan, and Xu Yan even liked him in the early stages, but that was because the male lead appeared too late, waiting for Li Xian to appear.
The female lead will then understand what true love is and throw herself into the male lead's arms.
Xu Nuo thought that if Chen Mingxue could pursue Luo Chen and keep him away from the female lead, wouldn't the protagonist's love path be free of obstacles?
No, there's also the ultimate supporting actress. To be honest, Xu Nuo isn't even a second female lead here; she's just a cannon fodder character with pitifully little screen time. Waaah, what's even more infuriating is that Chen Mingxue has more screen time than her.
"Who said he only pays attention to Xu Yan? It's because Xu Yan helped him before, and he's more polite to his benefactor."
Chen Mingxue asked in surprise, "That's not right. Didn't you say before that Luo Chen liked Xu Yan?"
"Oh dear," Xu Nuo quickly shook her head, "No, no, I misunderstood back then. I even helped you find out the enemy's situation. Luo Chen just considers my sister his benefactor."
"real?"
Xu Nuo nodded: "I asked my sister, and she really said that."
"Oh...I see." Chen Mingxue looked at Xu Nuo suspiciously: "Why are you calling her 'sister'? Don't you hate Xu Yan? You even said you wanted to kick her out of the Xu family."
Xu Nuo quickly explained, "Um... I didn't really like her at first, but it was to help you pursue Luo Chen..."
Chen Mingxue interrupted her: "Don't...don't talk nonsense, what do you mean by chasing me? I...I...I just..."
Xu Nuo gave her a knowing look: "Oh, you just like Luo Chen, what's there to be ashamed of? Besides, with Luo Chen's blockhead personality, if you don't take the initiative, when will he ever understand?"
Seeing that Chen Mingxue was so embarrassed she was about to vomit blood, Xu Nuo comforted her again: "What's wrong with that? Liking someone is such a wonderful thing. He will definitely be happy to know, which proves that you have good taste."
Chen Mingxue covered her face: "Really?"
"Yes, just do what you want to do, Xu Yan and I will help you."
Please perform exceptionally well and steal the second male lead away, thank you.
Chen Mingxue asked in bewilderment, "What does this have to do with her? Who does she think she is..."
Xu Nuo interrupted her: "Hey, hey, she's Luo Chen's benefactor. Can't you show her some respect? Besides, she saved me this time. I would have died long ago without her."
"Is it that serious?"
“Of course.” Xu Nuo said to Chen Mingxue, “Don’t bully her anymore. She hasn’t done anything to wrong you. We still need her to help you pursue Luo Chen this time.”
"Oh, I wasn't chasing you, I just..." Chen Mingxue's voice grew softer and softer, her face turning red. She wondered to herself what was going on with Xu Nuo, why she was speaking so shyly today.
Xu Nuo found her behavior amusing and teased her on purpose: "Okay, okay, it's not about chasing him, it's about seducing him and making him fall head over heels for you, mmm mmm mmm."
Chen Mingxue, her face flushed, rushed over and covered Xu Nuo's mouth. Xu Nuo blinked, indicating that she would not say anything more. Only then did Chen Mingxue release her hand, her gaze lingering suspiciously on Xu Nuo, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong with her.
I feel like Xu Nuo is acting strange today.
