Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu were delighted. They knew it; there couldn't possibly be anything in the team that Xu Zijiang didn't know.
"Where is that Yu Jiu, the educated youth? We still need to take her with us."
"Where else could it be? It must be at the educated youth settlement. Also, Yu, the educated youth, is my future wife. You all need to show her some respect. Don't be mean to her, and don't stare at her too much when you see her!"
As Xu Zi walked out, he warned, directly taking the remaining wine to his own territory and asserting his sovereignty over everyone.
Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu: ? ? ?
They were just as surprised as the Party Secretary, and their voices cracked.
"You have a wife? No, a future wife. So you two are dating? When did that happen? Damn, someone like you can find a girlfriend? Is that girl blind? Why is no one blind enough to want me?!"
"roll!"
Xu Zi kicked the two men and chuckled, cursing them a few times. Sure enough, the group was extremely close; if the Li family had been there, their hearts would have sank.
Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu were not giving up and continued to press for answers.
"Is she really your wife? You didn't just announce it unilaterally, did you? Does anyone not know how ruthless you are? Is there anyone who would dare to marry you? No way, no way?"
Xu Zijiang fell silent. It was indeed his unilateral announcement. Wasn't this just taking a pre-emptive advantage before even winning her over?
"Haha, I knew it!"
Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu were relieved; seeing a friend get a girlfriend was more painful than death for them. However, someone Xu Zijiang had his eye on must be quite good; that kid has high standards.
The two of them came to the educated youth settlement out of curiosity. Yu Jiu had been splashed with wine and was all wet. She simply took a shower and washed her hair, and was now drying her hair in the yard.
Her hair was jet black and glossy, reaching just above her waist. She sat in the sun, head tilted to the side, her hair swept to one side, gently wiping the water droplets from her hair with a towel. Her movements were casual, yet exuded an effortless beauty; every gesture was captivating.
The male educated youths didn't dare to run out of the courtyard. They all stayed inside, watching her through the windows and doorway, their eyes glued to her. At that moment, everyone had only one thought: Beautiful, so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful!
The thought of the beautiful Yu Zhiqing being targeted by the team leader made them incredibly jealous. They were the ones who had the advantage of being so close to her! Especially Zhao En, who had noticed how beautiful Yu Jiu's back was when she first arrived! How could he not have realized then that she had deliberately made her face look like that?
Why did he have to try and get close to Li Nannan? That girl isn't very bright, and she's not even as good-looking as Yu Zhiqing! If he showed her any interest first, even if he didn't fall in love with her, he'd at least have a better chance than the team leader!
Zhao En was filled with remorse. Yes, he was bolder than most people. He wanted to compete with Xu Zijiang for a wife. If he wanted to win the beauty's heart, it would depend on their own abilities. What was so great about using one's status to intimidate others?
He thought angrily, his gaze towards Yu Jiu becoming even more intense, and he was practically drooling.
Just then, Xu Zijiang arrived with two police officers. The first thing he saw was Yu Jiu drying her hair in the yard. Her hair was swept to one side, revealing her long, fair neck, like a white swan grooming itself. The warm sunlight made her fair skin appear even whiter, and she looked as exquisite and beautiful as a woman who had stepped out of a painting.
Her skin was like solidified cream, and she was incredibly charming. Every frown and smile was captivating!
Xu Zijiang's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily again. He reflexively looked down at his crotch, and sure enough, his little brother had failed him again!
"team leader?"
Yu Jiu was drying her hair facing the door when she immediately saw Xu Zijiang and two strange men. She had a feeling that they were there to see her, and she stood up in confusion.
Her voice was soft and melodious, like pearls and jade. Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu subconsciously swallowed. My goodness, don't tell him that this is Yu Zhiqing! She's so beautiful! Where did Xu Zijiang find such a beautiful educated youth? No wonder he wanted to make her his wife first!
Noticing the two men's predatory gazes, Xu Zi decisively stepped forward, blocking their view. He then gave Zhao En, who was inside the room, a death stare that was full of warning. Zhao En awkwardly looked away and hid behind the door.
“Li Nannan’s family went to the police station to report that you hit her. These two are police officers and they want you to come over. It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’ll go with you. Nothing will happen.”
Xu Zijiang explained, and to avoid frightening her, he comforted her. His voice was calm and reliable, which immediately made him seem more impressive.
"Okay, then I'll tie my hair up and go with you guys."
Yu Jiu nodded, having no objection, and prepared to tie up her half-dry hair. Xu Zijiang frowned and subconsciously reached out to twirl a strand of hair at the back of Yu Jiu's head.
"It's still wet, don't tie it up. If you get a headache later, just let your hair down. It's not a big deal."
"Alright."
Yu Jiu thought for two seconds and nodded decisively. Actually, she didn't really want to tie it up right now. Sleeping with wet hair or tying her head up would easily trigger migraines. She had migraines in her previous life, and was plagued with illnesses at a young age. When the headaches came, they almost killed her. In this life, she wanted to take good care of her body.
She hung up the towel and walked out of the educated youth settlement with her hair down. Her long hair fell to her chest, making her look even more beautiful and delicate, and her oval face looked even smaller.
Peng Xiaochuan and He Mingfu walked behind, exchanging a glance and inwardly screaming, "This kid's got guts! He actually dared to make a move! And this Yu Zhiqing doesn't seem to object! It seems it's not just Xu Zijiang who's interested! This kid...ahhhhh!"
Envy, jealousy, sourness and other emotions welled up.
Xu Zijiang ignored the two jealous single men behind him and leaned closer to ask Yu Jiu.
"Does your foot hurt? Do you want to rest for a while before continuing?"
Yu Jiu has been walking too much these past few days, and Xu Zijiang is worried that the young educated youth's delicate feet can't take it.
"Need not."
Yu Jiu shook her head; how could she possibly keep the police officers waiting for her?
"Aren't you hot? I forgot to ask you to bring a hat, wait a minute."
Xu Zijiang said in annoyance, then quickly picked a few large leaves from the roadside grass, put two together to shield Yu Jiu from the sun, and used the other leaf to fan Yu Jiu. His thoughtfulness and sycophancy were unbelievable.
"Xu Zijiang, this is going too far!"
He Mingfu couldn't help but remind them, "There are still two living people here, okay? Can you please stop acting like we don't exist?"
"Go your own way and mind your own business!"
Xu Zi ignored him completely and continued to protect his own young educated youth.
Yu Jiu bit her lip, a blush spreading across her fair face. She turned her head slightly and moved closer to Xu Zijiang, her hair brushing against his handsome face. A pleasant fragrance wafted into Xu Zijiang's nose as she whispered.
"Could you..."
Don't be so blatant in showing that you covet me!
