If it weren't for the fact that the other person's demeanor didn't resemble that of a lecherous thug, Ruan Miaomiao would have suspected that he stopped her to harass her.
However, it's not good to leave the other person staring blankly at you.
She coughed lightly twice and asked the person in front of her, "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
The woman's soft, melodious voice pulled Zheng Sinian back to reality. Only then did he realize how out of line he had been, and he hurriedly apologized.
"Excuse me, comrade, I was just lost in thought. I'm a sent-down youth from the Hongqi Production Team, also from Haicheng. My name is Zheng Sinian. May I ask if you are Ruan Miaomiao, the sent-down youth Ruan?"
Ever since the incident where Zhao Xiuyun inexplicably tried to get close to him, Zheng Sinian has become extremely cautious.
Just now, at the post office, he heard that this woman was sent to the countryside in Jianshan Brigade, her surname was Ruan, she came from Haicheng, and her family often sent her things. Doesn't all of this match up with the female student Ruan Miaomiao that Aunt Fengying mentioned?
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank the woman who had saved his grandparents. Now that he had finally met her and there was no one else around, how could he not take the opportunity to strike up a conversation?
So, after leaving the post office and the commune, Zheng Sinian strolled slowly toward the road back to the production team, waiting for Ruan Miaomiao to catch up.
However, he never expected that Ruan Miaomiao would be so beautiful that he would lose his composure.
Zheng Sinian was immediately captivated by Ruan Miaomiao's beauty after only a fleeting glance at her in the post office.
Now, face to face, looking up and staring directly at that bright and beautiful face, he realized that his grandmother's description of her as stunningly beautiful was truly not an exaggeration.
For a moment, Zheng Sinian was so overwhelmed by the beauty that he was speechless.
Upon hearing the other person's name, Ruan Miaomiao immediately recognized him: Old Zheng's grandson.
In the original storyline, he was supposed to be one of the powerful figures that the female lead, Zhao Xiuyun, should have latched onto.
In the story, after Shen Qingming and Zhao Xiuyun killed the original owner of the body, Shen Qingming, by pretending to be deeply in love, received the help of the Ruan family and rose rapidly through the ranks to a high-ranking official position. However, even though many women took the initiative to throw themselves at him, Shen Qingming always kept himself pure and his relationship with Zhao Xiuyun was deeply loving, becoming a beautiful story in high society.
Given Shen Qingming's cold-hearted nature, Ruan Miaomiao didn't think it was because of love that he hadn't abandoned Zhao Xiuyun after achieving success.
It's highly likely that in the storyline, Zhao Xiuyun comforts Grandma Zheng, who has lost her husband, wins Grandma Zheng's heart, and is taken in as Grandma Zheng's goddaughter, with the support of her godbrother Zheng Sinian, who also holds a high position.
From the very beginning, Ruan Miaomiao's desire to help Old Zheng was not out of any selfless dedication. All she wanted was to steal the female lead's golden thigh and let the female lead rot and stink in the quagmire for the rest of her life!
Therefore, Ruan Miaomiao was not surprised at all when Zheng Sinian, who is very sentimental in the plot and especially cares about his grandparents, came to find her.
She nodded slightly, her rosy lips parted slightly, and a clear voice rang out: "You, you are Old Master Zheng's grandson?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sinian was certain that the person in front of him was Ruan Miaomiao, without Ruan Miaomiao even having to admit it herself.
After all, the situation was tense, and only the few people in the cowshed knew about the relationship between his grandfather and himself.
Now, to hear Grandpa mentioned by the woman in front of me, there's no doubt it must have been Aunt Fengying who said it.
After confirming her identity, Zheng Sinian bowed deeply to Ruan Miaomiao, his voice even choked with emotion, and said, "Comrade Ruan, thank you, thank you for helping my grandparents!"
He heard his grandmother say that if it weren't for the few pills given by Ruan Zhiqing, his grandfather would probably have passed away long ago.
Moreover, Ruan Miaomiao not only gave Grandpa a few pills to save his life, but also frequently gave him and Grandpa and Grandma good things to nourish their bodies.
Without Ruan Miaomiao, I would have lost my only family member in this world!
When he looked up, Zheng Sinian's eyes were filled with tears, all of which were tears of gratitude for Ruan Miaomiao.
Ruan Miaomiao did not dodge. She accepted Zheng Sinian's bow without hesitation. She wanted to leave a mark on Zheng Sinian's heart. She, Ruan Miaomiao, was Zheng Sinian, the benefactor of his Zheng family!
Giving without expecting anything in return is not Ruan Miaomiao's style.
Furthermore, now that even something like Shen Qingming awakening his memories of his past life—something that doesn't exist in the original story—has happened, Ruan Miaomiao is worried that something uncontrollable might occur, causing Zheng Sinian to be won over by Zhao Xiuyun again, and then help Zhao Xiuyun deal with her and the Ruan family...
After receiving Zheng Sinian's bow, Ruan Miaomiao smiled and said softly, "The sun always shines after the darkness, and dawn will eventually break through the darkness!"
After saying that, he rode away on his old bicycle, leaving Zheng Sinian with a dashing and imposing silhouette.
These words deeply touched Zheng Sinian's heart. He silently repeated them in his mind, firmly believing that his family would definitely be able to wait for the day when their names were cleared...

"Brother Qingming, you...you haven't let go of Ruan Zhiqing yet?"
Zhou Shuhua frowned, pouted, and questioned Shen Qingming with a sad expression.
Shen Qingming was tormented by the stark contrast between his dream and real life. When he saw Accountant Zhou's daughter, he casually retorted, "What business is it of yours whether I've let go or not?"
"Brother Qingming..."
Upon hearing Shen Qingming's words, Zhou Shuhua immediately burst into tears: "You didn't say that before! You didn't say that when you accepted my eggs and steamed buns. You said you had already let go of Ruan Miaomiao and wanted to try dating me..."
Hearing the woman's sobbing, Shen Qingming's muddled mind cleared up a bit: That's right, the woman in front of him was currently the biggest granary in Jianshan Brigade. If he really offended this woman, he was afraid he would have to go back to those bitter days of hunger.
He immediately changed his tune, pulling Zhou Shuhua into a haystack next to the educated youth settlement, and anxiously explained, "Shuhua, I was so angry I lost my mind. You don't know, ever since that incident involving Zhao Xiuyun, I've been so confused. I haven't been able to sleep a wink, day or night..."
Seeing Zhou Shuhua's anger intensify, Shen Qingming coaxed her in a low voice, "It's not what you think. There's nothing between Zhao Xiuyun and me."
Rather, I feel that Zhao Xiuyun, Ruan Miaomiao, and I came from the same place to be sent to the countryside. We were classmates before, and our parents knew each other. We grew up together. As the only man among the three, I have the responsibility and obligation to take good care of the two ladies.
Now that Zhao Xiuyun has gotten into that mess, tell me, how am I supposed to explain this to Zhao Xiuyun's parents when I get back?
Zhao Xiuyun's parents were alright; they were reasonable.
However, Ruan Miaomiao's parents, just like Ruan Miaomiao, are unreasonable and domineering. If they find out that I didn't take good care of their daughter in the countryside and that Ruan Miaomiao was bullied by another man, her parents will definitely come to my house and make a scene.
