Although the two slept on the same bed, they did not go that far.
Later, Xu Min held her while she slept, and only after she fell asleep did he quietly get up and go to the bathroom.
He stayed inside for a long time before coming out again.
This time, he dared not sleep with Nanzhi in his arms again.
He just lay there beside her, quietly watching her.
He was so tall and strong that his feet dangled off the bed when he lay down.
The bed was a bit small, and he was worried that she wouldn't have enough room to sleep, so he tried his best to squeeze to one side to give her the most space.
They weren't even covered with a blanket.
It looks rather comical.
Yet this same man, who always appeared fierce and menacing in front of others, was looking at her while grinning foolishly.
The thought of them getting married and having a lovely child made him feel like the world had brightened and everyone was lovely.
Even those gray memories of the past no longer matter.
The next morning, Xu Min got up first, fetched hot water, and brought it back to wash Nan Zhi's face.
He also bought a box of the currently popular Shanghai-style face cream from an outside store and carefully applied it to his girlfriend after she washed her face.
After he finished wiping her, the soft, fragrant little thing snuggled into his arms.
"What should I do? I can't bear to see you leave."
The girl's voice sounded somewhat unhappy.
Xu Min grasped her shoulders.
He, too, couldn't bear to leave her.
These past few months of separation have already made him taste the bitterness of longing.
He walked her to the school gate, intending to wave goodbye, but seeing the girl's red eyes, he couldn't bear to part with her and walked her inside.
His eyes were red when he turned to leave.
When Xu Min arrived at the train station, before even boarding the train, he saw Song You.
It seems that Song You came to see him specifically.
Or perhaps she followed him all the way.
When he heard Song You say that he was already engaged to Nan Zhi, he was neither surprised nor saddened, because Nan Zhi had already promised to break off the engagement.
Song You was somewhat surprised.
"She actually told you."
Soon, Song You smiled.
"Xu Min, you don't actually believe that Nan Zhi likes you, do you?"
What are you trying to say?
Xu Min remained unmoved throughout.
"Nan Zhi is only with you because she's angry with me."
In the past, Xu Min might have believed it.
But now, he no longer believes it.
Seeing that he still didn't believe him, Song You's smile turned cold.
"Xu Min, you two are not suitable. Your identities are not suitable, and your thoughts are not suitable either."
"She's constantly growing and improving. Can you keep up with her?"
Song You pointed out, word by word, what Xu Min had been unwilling to admit.
"She likes you on a whim now, but what about in two years? University life is so exciting, she'll meet people who think like her. What will you be then?"
Xu Min had considered that possibility.
So he kept working hard, reading and learning whenever he had free time, because he wanted to catch up with her.
"No, if that day ever comes, I'll accept it."
He couldn't bear to leave her.
I don't want to leave her either.
He will try his best to pursue her and earn lots and lots of money for her.
They had different ideas, so he worked hard to learn and integrate into her life.
They will definitely make it to the end.
Xu Min is gone.
Seeing his stubbornness, Song You pressed his temples in frustration. Then, as if remembering something, he looked at the departing train with a gloomy gaze.
...
The national economy is becoming increasingly open.
Because Xu Min had made preparations in advance, he had already purchased rural products from the surrounding villages and then successfully sold them to a big boss in the town.
But to everyone's surprise, when it came time to settle the payment, the big boss absconded with the money.
The man only paid Xu Min a deposit of 500 yuan, while all the goods added up to at least 2,000 yuan.
Originally, Xu Min intended to give 1,000 yuan of the payment to the villagers who supplied him with goods.
The boss has now run away.
Xu Min reported it to the police, but they still couldn't find out where the boss had gone...
Someone must have leaked the information, because the villagers suddenly banded together and blocked his doorway.
Xu Qingyuan tried her best to stop them at the door, but to no avail.
The villagers, demanding their money back, kicked down the gate.
With Xu Min absent, they targeted Xu Qingyuan.
"Your brother owes us a lot of money, pay it back right now!"
"Give us our money back, or we'll take our things."
Their menacing demeanor as they demanded repayment terrified Xu Qingyuan, causing her to cry.
Later, Xu Qingyuan watched as they started taking things from the house.
The old hen was taken away.
The piglets were taken away too...
Xu Qingyuan stood in the courtyard, unsure of who to stop.
"My brother will pay me back, so please don't take any more money."
“My brother has already told you that doing business is risky. You were the ones who insisted on giving him the goods to sell in the first place. Couldn’t you have waited for my brother a little longer?”
"Please stop taking it, I beg you..."
Someone pushed her, and Xu Qingyuan lost her balance and fell to the ground unexpectedly, immediately losing consciousness.
At that moment, someone finally shouted—
"Don't take it yet, something happened to Xu Min's sister!"
Everyone stopped.
Seeing Xu Qingyuan lying on the ground, seemingly dead, no one dared to approach her.
They knew she was sickly.
No one dares to admit it.
"It wasn't me, I didn't touch her..."
"It wasn't me either..."
Everyone was making excuses.
In the end, they were all afraid of taking responsibility, so they ran away.
Even while running, he didn't forget to take things from the house.
