Qin Hanshu choked on her own saliva, then blushed and explained, "I just happened to see it, I didn't mean to peek! Who told you to do that kind of thing in broad daylight!"
Liao Yujie pointed at Qin Hanshu's red cheeks and giggled, "You usually look so tough, but I didn't expect you to be so cute when you blush."
Qin Hanshu frowned and retorted defiantly, "Who's blushing? You're making false accusations."
Liao Yujie dared not tease her anymore and said seriously, "There was another guy who was peeping with you that day. Was he your boyfriend? Was he from the village? Or was he a sent-down youth? Oh, I won't ask who he is. I'll teach you two tricks that will make him fall head over heels for you."
Qin Hanshu glared at Liao Yujie.
Fortunately, she didn't see Zhou Weiguang.
Wait, no, that's not the point.
"I don't have a boyfriend! Stop talking nonsense."
Liao Yujie didn't believe it at all. Looking at Qin Hanshu's shy expression, she knew that what she said was absolutely right.
Seeing Qin Hanshu angrily turn to leave, Liao Yujie quickly followed.
"Let me tell you, kissing has three steps! First, close your eyes; second, stick out your tongue..."
Qin Hanshu suddenly stopped and interrupted Liao Yujie.
Qin Hanshu's face had darkened. "Shut up."
Liao Yujie shrank back in fear, "I'll shut up, I'll shut up..."
She doesn't even want free experience; she's just a complete idiot.
Liao Yujie, unwilling to give up, asked, "Will you come to my wedding?"
Qin Hanshu took a deep breath, glared at Liao Yujie for a long time, and said, "I'll do it!"
Liao Yujie immediately smiled and said happily, "You won't lose out. You don't need to give any money as a gift. I'll even have Qi Gangyong give you a big red envelope later."
Qin Hanshu was too lazy to listen to Liao Yujie's rambling anymore and quickly returned to her cave dwelling.
She leaned against the headboard, and the tiger leaped to her side, pawing here and there before finding a comfortable spot to lie down, resting its head on her arm.
Ever since the tiger ate the egg, its weight has skyrocketed, and now it looks like a gas cylinder.
As Qin Hanshu listened to the tiger's snoring, Liao Yujie's incessant chatter echoed in her mind.
What three-step approach...?
As she thought about it, a blush rose on her face again.
She turned her eyes and found that the tiger was staring intently at her.
Seeing that she was looking over, the tiger meowed, its big eyes seeming to show curiosity.
Qin Hanshu laughed and patted the tiger's head.
"You're a eunuch, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Meow." The tiger lowered its eyes and lay back down, truly appearing indifferent to desires.
Qin Hanshu petted the tiger for a while, then suddenly sighed.
Before she died in her previous life, she also received love letters from male classmates. At that time, she felt nothing but shyness and embarrassment.
How come, after being reborn, I've developed feelings for love?
Qin Hanshu stared blankly for a long time.
Perhaps it is those who have experienced long periods of loneliness who crave warm companionship even more.
She understood what Zhou Weiguang meant.
The Zhou family members are indeed all very good.
It feels like home.
***
Liao Yujie's wedding banquet was held soon.
It wasn't a grand affair, but it was passable.
However, Aunt Qi looked very unhappy and kept a long face.
Liao Yujie didn't care. She and Qi Gangyong were both cheerful, with an attitude of "I'm happy as long as I'm happy, I don't care about others."
Although it was said that no one needed to give a gift, Qin Hanshu still gave one, though not much, just the average amount given in the village.
Qi Gangyong indeed gave her, his only "family member," a red envelope.
Just from the reluctant and pained expression on Qi Gangyong's face when he gave Hongbao the red envelope, you could tell that this red envelope was no small amount.
When Liao Yujie got married, among the educated youth who came to the banquet, besides Qin Hanshu, Ma Chaoyang was also present.
It's not that Ma Chaoyang and Liao Yujie have a good relationship; it's just that this guy is bored and came to join in the fun.
"Sister Shu," Ma Chaoyang looked around listlessly for a while before starting to talk to Qin Hanshu, "Why don't you find a chance to talk to Zhang Kangmei and tell her not to work so hard?"
Qin Hanshu glanced at him. "Is their work getting in your way?"
"It's not that she's in my way!" Ma Chaoyang said anxiously. "Look at her, she's only been in the countryside for a year, and she's already so dark and thin! She's not short of money, why is she working so hard?"
Qin Hanshu: "Why don't you talk to him?"
Ma Chaoyang smiled wryly, "If she wanted to listen to me, would I need to ask you for help?"
Qin Hanshu paused for a moment and said, "She won't listen to my advice. She has her own ideas and finds self-affirmation in doing farm work, so don't worry about it. She's gotten tanned and thin, but she can catch up later."
Ma Chaoyang muttered, "I just feel sorry for him..."
Qin Hanshu looked at him teasingly.
Ma Chaoyang scratched his head sheepishly and readily admitted, "I think I do have a little crush on her, but I haven't thought about the future yet... Please keep this a secret for me for now."
Qin Hanshu nodded, "Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you."
Ma Chaoyang sighed and said:
“My mother wrote to me, saying that I can go back home after I’ve stayed in the countryside for a year, and I can either join the army or find another job, it’s up to me.”
“But I inquired about Zhang Kangmei’s thoughts from the side, and it seems that she has no intention of returning to the city yet.”
Qin Hanshu asked, "So you're not going back? You're staying here with her?"
Ma Chaoyang was silent for a while, then said, "I'm a bit conflicted. I don't want to stay in the countryside anymore, I desperately want to go back to the city, but I'm also worried about her."
