Chapter 168
"The village chief seems to have something to say?" Xia Bei looked at him and said lightly.
Village Chief: "Uh... I'd like to discuss this with them."
"sure."
When Jiang You heard Xia Bei finish speaking, he saw him looking over and smiled faintly in his amber eyes: "How about this, let her come with me to the fields, you two can chat here."
“Sure, sure,” the village chief nodded hurriedly. “Ah Jun’s daughter, you take this leader to your land for a tour.”
Seeing that his parents agreed, Jiang You glanced at Xia Bei as he stood up, his broad shoulders and narrow waist making him appear even more noble and refined.
"Please lead the way," he said, raising one eyebrow slightly, his voice less steady and more flippant.
The people inside were preoccupied and didn't notice Xia Bei's subtle change.
Jiang You led the way helplessly and powerlessly to the gate of the compound. Xia Bei asked the few people who had come out with him to stay in the courtyard.
"Xia Bei, what are you trying to do?"
After walking a short distance with the other person and seeing that no one was around, Jiang You couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you'd give me time to think about it?"
Schrödinger's time to consider did not expose the girl's endless procrastination. He smiled and said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
"Ha, stop playing dumb," she looked away. "What are you doing here?"
"Poverty alleviation, huh?" Xia Bei chuckled. "Comrade Jiang You, you don't think I came here for you, do you?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "How narcissistic."
Meeting those teasing eyes, Jiang You's face flushed red, a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.
She knew perfectly well that he had come for her, but when she tried to argue, she found that he was doing something completely legitimate, and she couldn't find any grounds to refute him.
A low chuckle escaped the man's throat. Jiang You pursed his lips, quickened his pace, and walked forward. They were simply not on the same wavelength and couldn't see eye to eye.
On the dirt road, the girl walked ahead angrily, while a handsome man walked behind her.
If it weren't for the modern clothes on the man, he would look like a deity who stepped out of an ancient painting, with an otherworldly air, descending to the mortal world. However, when he looked at the girl in front of him, his ice seemed to melt away, and he became tainted with emotions and desires.
Are you angry?
A sound came from behind, like a gentle breeze brushing past my ear, giving me a refreshing feeling.
Ignoring him, she continued walking. As she crossed the river, her wrist was suddenly grabbed: "I did come for you. Didn't you say that after your superpowers disappeared, you would take back what I gave you, and maybe even take revenge on you?"
Jiang You was taken aback. Xia Bei stared into her pupils and continued, "So it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Looking at your lazy attitude, let your parents work hard. As for you, just be a rich kid."
"How do you know my parents agreed?" she asked, struggling with her wrist.
"Do your parents' opinions matter?" Xia Bei loosened her wrist and slowly looked at the pond beside her, asking in return.
Jiang You thought of the village chief; this was something that would benefit the entire village. If she didn't agree, she would become a sinner to the whole village if word got out. So she remained silent.
"The more people are involved in the interests of fruit trees, the harder it is for me to retaliate, especially since the new variety plan will be reviewed by the top leaders. The only person who knows me best is myself, so I will cut off all avenues for revenge. You are not afraid of my revenge after my superpowers disappear."
Jiang You didn't say anything. She thought the man behind her would say something like, "Be my girlfriend," or "I don't care about any official title, I'll just be your bed partner whenever you call."
But the other party didn't mention it at all, only saying softly, "I just happened to be passing by a pond, how about teaching me how to skip stones? I've only heard of it, I've never done it before."
The sunlight shone on him, making him appear somewhat forlorn.
she:"???"
"Not to go look at the land?"
Xia Bei laughed and said, "It's just an excuse for your parents to have a private talk with the village chief. It wouldn't be good if you went too far."
