However, this was Han's parents' idea. Han Xiaoyu did not express his unwillingness in front of everyone, but privately told the original owner that he only agreed to his parents' marriage proposal because he could not stand her being gossiped about because of him.
If they went to the countryside, the two of them would remain completely innocent and have no relationship whatsoever, and the original owner couldn't reveal this "helping" relationship to anyone.
Xu Yan: "..."
Recalling this, Xu Yan was so angry she laughed.
Others might not know the situation, but how could she, someone who had carefully read the book from beginning to end, not know who spread the rumors?
Although the original author didn't elaborate, she was certain that it was Han Xiaoyu's mother!
It was all for the sake of the Xu family's connections and money.
Moreover, the book subtly mentions several times later on that the Xu family helped the Han family many times because of their daughter's situation, and even helped Han's younger brother find a job.
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, so let's just talk about Han Xiaoyu. The book describes him as such a wonderful person, but how come he's such a jerk in reality?
And they even "helped"!
Help him my ass!
Xu Yan didn't believe he was unaware of his parents' intentions. After all, it was only because he "accidentally" let slip that the original owner liked him that his younger siblings overheard him, and then his younger siblings told his parents.
That's how this marriage proposal scene came about.
Moreover, when Han Xiaoyu told the original owner that they couldn't reveal their fiancé/wife relationship in the countryside, he had a look on his face as if he was being wronged because of her.
No, brother, it's the Oscars' loss that they couldn't get you to participate.
Seriously, you're so good at this!
Xu Yan was so angry that she couldn't recall anything.
The original owner, however, was overjoyed, like a fool.
No, she's just an idiot.
She kept the secret until her death, and even firmly believed that she would marry Han Xiaoyu.
After all, the two of them had already gotten engaged in front of their parents and other people.
Regardless of what Han Xiaoyu says, the engagement is a fact.
And then...
The original owner got her wish and went to the countryside with Han Xiaoyu.
Although her parents were angry with her, they couldn't bear to see her suffer, as she was the daughter they had cherished since she was little. In just six months, they sent her a lot of things.
However, the original owner was a brainless ultimate simp. In order to please Han Xiaoyu, she not only gave him all the good things, but also tried to eat less at meals, leaving the thicker rice for Han Xiaoyu.
Then……
The original owner drank watery porridge, ate bran that burned his throat, and was often not full. He could only occasionally dig up some licorice or other wild vegetables from the ground to fill his stomach.
When Xu Yan first read this novel, she cursed the original owner of the body many times, thinking that she was out of her mind. She was also curious about what kind of celestial being Han Xiaoyu looked like that could bewitch people like that.
Now that she's met him in person, she thinks he's just average.
It's really just so-so.
Let alone in 2024 when all sorts of exquisitely handsome idols emerged, even in today's era, he's not as handsome as the older brother in the original owner's memories.
So, how exactly did he manage to bewitch the original owner of this body?
What surprised and puzzled Xu Yan even more was that the events in the original owner's memory differed greatly from those in the book. The book only said that the original owner used self-indulgent methods to get food in order to please Han Xiaoyu, but it never mentioned that the original owner gave all the things that her parents mailed to Han Xiaoyu.
What exactly happened...?
Although Xu Yan couldn't fully understand all the details, she was certain that the original owner's memories were more credible than those in the book.
After all, the book mainly serves to highlight the protagonist, but the original owner of this body actually lived here for eighteen years.
Unfortunately, he fell into the river and drowned just days before his nineteenth birthday.
Xu Yan's eyes darkened.
Seeing that Xu Yan was still staring blankly at him as if his eyes were on him, Han Xiaoyu's disgust intensified. With a cold face, he picked up the things in his hands and walked past Xu Yan to the kitchen.
"Shameless," Liang Qian snorted again.
As he passed by Xu Yan, he deliberately bumped into her. Xu Yan, who was already weak, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Xu Yan, suddenly forced back to her senses: "..."
When she watched the storyline where the educated youth in the settlement bullied the original owner, she simply felt that "Xu Yan" deserved it.
She has such loving and caring parents, yet she abandons her family to pursue a fleeting and unattainable love. She must be out of her mind.
Those who are obsessed with love should also be punished!
But now, she knows that some descriptions in the original text are different, and that she has become the one who was bullied...
She couldn't stand it anymore.
She's not love-struck, why should she suffer like this?
