"Hmm, didn't I say that this morning? Or was I not obvious enough?"
"Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to feel my sincerity, it will be completely comprehensive and without any blind spots."
Xu Zi leaned against the tree trunk behind him, his movements both rough and cool. He crossed his legs, smiled smugly, and was already fantasizing about winning over his wife.
He made a detailed plan to win back his wife that morning, which was a full eight pages long! You know, he hated writing essays since he was a child, so being able to write this shows that he was really serious.
"But I'm not pretty, and we've only met a few times, we've known each other for at most two days. Why do you like me?"
Yu Jiu disagreed. How could there be such a deep bond after only knowing each other for two days? She felt that her savior was being a bit too promiscuous. Perhaps he had only saved her casually in their previous life. However, since it was a life-saving grace, she couldn't repay him with her body. But she could use the advantages of her rebirth to make him rich. Wouldn't that be a way of repaying his kindness?
"Why does someone have to be beautiful? Why can't you like someone after knowing them for only two days? I liked you the moment I saw you, and I want you to be my wife. If someone can fall in love at first sight even if they're not pretty, it means I like more than just their face. Isn't that more reliable?"
But I think you're very pretty, especially your eyes, they're so cute.
Xu Zijiang finished his confident retort and then flirted back, almost killing Yu Jiu in the process.
Yu Jiu was somewhat convinced by him; it seemed to be true. If she could like someone when they weren't pretty, she'd like them even more when they were. But wait, she didn't like him. Whether he liked her face or her as a person was none of her business!
Yu Jiu licked her rosy lips, straightened her head, reaffirmed her stance, and began to give him the "friend zone" card.
"Thank you, I also think my eyes are cute, but it's unnecessary. Captain, you're a very nice person, but I won't like you. My motto is to cherish life and stay away from men."
"Besides, what's so great about dating? Captain, let me teach you how to make money!"
Yu Jiu tilted her head slightly forward, looking serious, her clear eyes sparkling. She was quite the money-grubber, her face beaming when she talked about money. It was just that the few finger marks on her face looked a bit comical.
Xu Zijiang curled his lips and chuckled softly.
"Okay, how do you want to make money?"
He rested his chin on one hand, his elbow on his knee, and one of his long legs was bent. He looked casual and lazy, but because of his height and appearance, he had a strong presence and a sense of aggression.
Yu Jiu blinked, then hesitantly lifted her eyelids and looked around. It was broad daylight; she couldn't very well incite a captain to sell things on the black market. If others overheard, they would be branded as profiteers, and no one in power could get away with it.
I'll tell you next time.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Xu Zi nodded seriously, already putting his wife's advice into practice.
"Go wash your face, there are several finger marks on your face."
He suppressed a laugh and reminded her, though he hadn't originally intended to say it. He wanted to see her looking like a little kitten, but he was afraid that if others saw her like this, the young educated youth would get angry and try to kill him, and then his chances of winning her over would be completely ruined.
"Huh? Oh!!!"
Yu Jiu suddenly remembered that she still had something on her face, and the captain had just pinched her cheek. So, her face must have been covered in ash. And if the ash fell off, would her face still look good? It would be a mess of black and white!
Yu Jiu admitted it, so don't touch her face! She glared at Xu Zijiang hatefully, covered her face, her beautiful eyes fierce, like a kitten that could pounce and bite you at any moment.
"Go back to the educated youth settlement to wash up. It'll be time to finish work soon. You don't know the way, so let Yu Caihong take you back."
Xu Zijiang's palms were itchy, and he was eager to pinch Yu Jiu's cheeks again.
"snort!"
Yu Jiu gave a haughty snort and ran off in a flash.
Perhaps because they knew each other in a past life, Yu Jiu always unconsciously opened her heart to Xu Zijiang, showing him her true personality with a touch of girlish coquettishness.
After all, she was only in her early twenties when she died in her previous life.
Yu Caihong saw Yu Jiu running back from the captain looking a little worried, like a daughter who had run away from home with a jerk finally remembering that she still had a home.
"Then let's go back."
She hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say anything. She took the remaining wine back to the educated youth settlement. She wasn't enthusiastic about finishing work; she must have something wrong with her brain.
Yu Jiu and Yu Caihong left, but Xu Zijiang not only stayed, he went to their plot of land and picked up a hoe. Having witnessed a scene of a powerful brigade leader harassing a helpless young educated youth, everyone grew a little bolder and asked him with smiles.
"Captain, are you going to help Yu, the educated youth, with his work?"
"nonsense."
Xu Zi said irritably, "I'm trying to win over my wife, and everyone's watching. Isn't that annoying!" He moved his muscular arms and bent his lean waist, causing the sweet potato underneath to obediently flip over.
He moved very quickly, almost three times faster than Yu Jiu. In no time, many sweet potatoes buried deep underground were brought back to the surface, revealing their true form.
"Captain, this won't do. You shouldn't have finished the work secretly. You should have waited until Yu Zhiqing came to work in the afternoon and worked with her. That way, you could chat and she could see your strong and powerful physique. She would have been much more energetic working!"
Several older men, who had been through similar experiences, shared their wisdom.
There's a reason why Xu Zi dared to pull Yu Jiu away in front of everyone: no one dared to gossip about him, and everyone was hoping he would win her over since he finally had someone he liked!
"Yeah?"
Xu Zijiang seemed to be thinking, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, before deciding to get back to work. The sun was too strong today; the young educated youth had been baking in the sun all morning, her face was all red. Next time, he'd find a cloudy day to have her help him with the work.
Yu Jiu, who had already returned to the educated youth settlement, had no idea what kind of trouble Xu Zijiang had gotten into this time. She secretly repaired the black marks on her face, and when she came out, she was once again the sallow-faced, malnourished educated youth.
Yu Caihong carefully examined Yu Jiu's face, her expression puzzled, and remained silent for a long time.
"What's wrong, Rainbow Sister? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yu Jiu forced himself to remain calm. Could it be that something was wrong with his face again? That shouldn't be the case.
"I feel like the spots on your face have decreased, and their locations are a bit different from yesterday's."
She leaned closer, her delicate face magnifying in Yu Jiu's eyes.
"Oh, really? It's probably just my imagination. These spots appeared later. Maybe some of them came off while I was washing them. I don't know."
Feeling guilty, Yu Jiu changed the subject. She couldn't even remember the location of the small spot she randomly picked, but she didn't expect Sister Rainbow to remember it.
"I'm going to take a shower first, it's too hot."
She fanned her face with her hand.
No sooner had she finished speaking than there was a commotion at the entrance of the educated youth settlement, and Li Nannan's helpless yet pretentious voice came through.
“Chen Zhiqing, I’m really fine. Being ostracized is my fate, and being bullied by the team leader is also my fault. I’ll just not talk to them. I believe that when the commune secretary comes back, he will stand up for me. Don’t do this, don’t be impulsive.”
As she was speaking, a large, obese figure broke free of her and rushed in.
"Li Zhiqing, don't say that! They bullied you and they think they're in the right? Today I'm going to get justice for you! I, Chen Yuan, never hit women, but I'll make an exception today. I already knew what kind of person Yu Jiu was on the train, so she deserved to be hit!"
Chen Yuan cursed angrily, his fat face contorted in anger.
A simp has arrived, everyone get out of the way!
