As soon as Zhou Dujuan finished speaking, Zhou Jingyun looked at her with admiration.
Immediately, his gaze fell directly on Ruan Miaomiao.
His gaze was intense and affectionate, brimming with deep emotion, almost tangible, making it impossible for the others in the courtyard to ignore.
Considering that the two hadn't seen each other for over a month, Zhao Cuihong left with the man and daughter, giving the two young people some space.
Before leaving, she told Ruan Miaomiao not to clean up or wash the dishes, and to leave it for Zhou Taohua and Zhou Dujuan to do tomorrow.
When his family was around, Zhou Jingyun was able to suppress his surging emotions.
But as soon as his family left and the courtyard gate closed, Zhou Jingyun's deep emotions surged forth, and he looked at Ruan Miaomiao with a hint of grievance:
"Miaomiao, don't you miss me at all?"
He was clearly a tall and imposing man, but at this moment he looked like a little wolfhound afraid of being abandoned, gazing at Ruan Miaomiao with a pitiful expression.
Upon hearing Zhou Jingyun's words, Ruan Miaomiao immediately retorted, "How could that be? I've already returned to Coin City!"
Zhou Jingyun put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth, sat down next to Ruan Miaomiao, and spoke in a wronged tone:
“When you were in Haicheng, you never called me first; I was always the one calling you.”
"If you hadn't left your phone number when you went back to Haicheng, could you have gone a whole month without contacting me?"
"..."
Hearing Zhou Jingyun's words, Ruan Miaomiao felt a little guilty: It's all because life in Haicheng is too interesting, so interesting that I forgot to contact Zhou Jingyun.
But how could she admit it?
With her large, watery eyes meeting the man's handsome and masculine face without any hesitation, Ruan Miaomiao said confidently, "I was busy with some things after I got back, so I was thinking of finishing them as soon as possible and coming back to Bicheng to find you."
Tell me, when have you ever called me when I was free?
Upon hearing Ruan Miaomiao's question, Zhou Jingyun thought about it carefully and realized that every time he called, the other party was always busy with something.
However, I still felt a little wronged.
Even her eyes turned a little red:
"Miaomiao, I think you are too independent. You don't cling to me at all, which makes me feel that I am important to you."
I'm afraid, afraid that I'm just a plaything for you to pass the time when you're bored.
I'm afraid that one day you'll find someone or something more interesting and abandon me...
Hearing Zhou Jingyun's words and sensing the tension and unease in his tone, Ruan Miaomiao knew that the man in front of her was indeed thinking that way.
After thinking it over carefully, it seems that I really did treat Zhou Jingyun that way.
This kind of attitude would be considered scum by any man.
She had always felt a sense of detachment and detachment regarding their relationship.
However, after hearing Zhou Jingyun's words, her heart was subtly touched, as if the frozen place was slowly melted by the warm sun, and a crack appeared, allowing light to shine in instantly.
"Ah Yun, I'm sorry, I have no experience in dating and I don't know what to do."
Before, I was worried that I was too clingy and you would dislike me, so that's why I acted that way towards you.
Hearing Ruan Miaomiao's words, Zhou Jingyun instantly felt like he had come back to life.
She completely forgot that "Ruan Miaomiao" and Shen Qingming had ever been in a relationship.
He reached out his large hand and gently grasped Ruan Miaomiao's soft little hand, saying softly, "Miaomiao, I don't blame you. I'm just expressing my feelings."
It's just that you're too important to me, and I want to be with you so much that I can't bear the pain of losing you. I'm just overthinking things.
You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. In our relationship, you should do whatever makes you comfortable. I don't need to force you to adapt to me.
If one of us needs to adapt to the other, I don't want that person to be you.
I hope my Miaomiao will never suffer any injustice, even if it's inflicted by me!
Thinking about what she had just said, Zhou Jingyun felt like a resentful woman who was anxious and insecure.
Fearing it might affect Ruan Miaomiao, Zhou Jingyun quickly added these words.
To be honest, Ruan Miaomiao was even more moved when she heard these words: In this world, apart from her family, this was the first time someone had ever loved her so deeply, putting her first.
She thought that perhaps she could be more open with this man.
Her soft little hands gripped the man's large, warm hands tightly, and two dimples appeared on Ruan Miaomiao's lips as her sweet, clear voice rang out:
"Ah Yun, let's work hard together!"
Although Ruan Miaomiao didn't explicitly say what she was trying to achieve, Zhou Jingyun understood everything.
His heart pounded with emotion, and he silently thought to himself: Miaomiao, you don't need to work hard. As long as you have me in your heart, I will do all the work myself.
All you need to do is enjoy life and be happy every day...

"Mom, why is someone standing in front of our house?"
As she approached her house, Zhou Taohua spotted a figure standing at the gate of her yard.
Zhao Cuihong and Zhou Jianjun also felt strange and quickened their pace.
Upon approaching and turning on the flashlight, I realized that the person standing at the door was actually Li Yuying from the educated youth settlement.
The Zhou family was puzzled by the fact that their family had no connection with the other party and had no dealings with them on a regular basis.
However, Zhou Dujuan, upon seeing Li Yuying, immediately questioned her in a harsh tone:
What are you doing here?
Zhao Cuihong immediately sensed the unfriendly tone in her fourth daughter's voice.
She knew her own daughter well; she wasn't the kind of rude girl who would treat people badly. There was definitely a reason why she was speaking to Li Yuying like this.
In just a few words, Zhou Dujuan recounted how she had seen Li Yuying in Ruan Miaomiao's vegetable garden at noon.
Since it concerned Ruan Miaomiao, the Zhou family members all looked displeased.
Seeing how the Zhou family protected Ruan Miaomiao, Li Yuying felt very uncomfortable: Why?
Why was that woman able to tell all of this so easily?
She remembered the purpose of her visit and said to the Zhou family, "There's something I originally wanted to tell Ruan Zhiqing, but after thinking about it carefully, I think I should tell you first."
Looking at Li Yuying's appearance, Zhao Cuihong cursed inwardly: These educated youths, apart from her own Ruan, are all bad people.
What do you want to say?
Zhao Cuihong's tone was not very nice; in fact, it was rather harsh!
The three members of the Zhou family standing nearby also looked at Li Yuying with eyes full of hostility!
