"Xiao Ni, it's your brother Xiao Shuanzi. Do you remember me?" Jia Qing Shuan finally squeezed out of the crowd, smiling and greeting everyone with two big white teeth.
Qiao Xiaoni had no idea who the person in front of her was. He looked to be in his early twenties, wearing glasses, a white short-sleeved shirt, and black pants. Instead of leather shoes, he wore cloth shoes, which looked completely mismatched. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that his shirt was a size too big and his pants were too short. It's worth mentioning that he was fairly good-looking and stood out in a crowd.
"Long time no see." He squeezed out the four words through gritted teeth. He didn't know who the other person was, but since he was standing in the crowd, he must be from this village.
Jia Qingshuan was overjoyed and at a loss for words. "So you really do remember me. I remember the last time we met, you were just up to my chest, and I gave you a piece of candy. I remember it was eight years ago during the Chinese New Year when you and your dad came to visit."
Qiao Xiaoni: ...
So it was someone I met eight years ago! I should have known better than to say those four words; a chill ran down my spine! Turning around, I saw Su Chenhao's face was so dark it looked like it was about to rain. Was he jealous?
Su Chenhao was indeed jealous. Men can understand men best. This guy was obviously eyeing his wife, which made him furious. But with so many people around, he couldn't show it, so he could only keep venting his anger.
Jia Qingshuan had noticed a young man with Qiao Xiaoni by his side. He was good-looking and walked over with them. Could he be her brother?
wrong!
He still had some impression of Qiao Xiaoshan and Qiao Dashan, but they didn't look like this at all.
He worked in a machinery factory year-round, and when he finally got a break, his mother kept telling him that the Qiao family's ancestral graves were emitting auspicious smoke, as the first college student from the surrounding villages had emerged.
After asking in detail, he learned that Qiao Xiaoni had been admitted to university. The unremarkable little girl from childhood had now blossomed into a beautiful young woman. He couldn't help but feel a surge of affection; how wonderful it would be to marry her!
"We have other things to do, so we won't chat with you any longer," Qiao Xiaoni said politely, despite the pressure.
Jia Qingshuan nodded, then pointed to the side, "Who is this brother? Is he your older brother?"
“I am not his brother,” Su Chenhao replied coldly.
People around couldn't help but look at the young man in front of them. His aura was oppressive. They had never seen anyone like him before. Those who were less timid took a few steps back, feeling scared and not daring to go forward.
Qiao Xiaoni tugged at the man's sleeve and introduced him to the crowd.
"He is my boyfriend, Su Chenhao."
Now that she had made up her mind, she was willing to reveal Su Chenhao's identity to everyone, so that it would be more legitimate and would shut down the rumors.
The gloom on Su Chenhao's face vanished instantly. He nodded to the people around him, which meant he had introduced himself to them.
Jia Qingshuan felt his burning heart instantly turn ice-cold. He had truly witnessed today what it meant for a king to have a dream but a goddess to be unmoved.
He finally found a girl he liked, but she already had a boyfriend. He was so unwilling to accept it!
Qiao Haisheng stood to the side, feeling extremely pleased. Look at the expressions on the faces of the young men in the village upon learning their daughters had found boyfriends—it was truly a testament to the old saying, "A good woman is sought after by many."
