When they bump into each other, they insert coins to see if it's a date or if he'll pursue her.
In reality, it doesn't matter much. No matter what the ending is, the two of them will be together, with Gu Weizhen taking them around Beijing.
Su Feng felt very comfortable and free when she was with him. Unlike with Wu Qi, their relationship started as a blind date with marriage in mind, and they dated many times with the goal of marriage in mind. Then she was rejected because of his family background, which was complicated by worldly and realistic factors.
But Gu Weizhen was different. He made Su Feng feel that she was always an independent individual, and that she could do whatever she wanted without having to care about such conventions.
Although she hadn't seen the man for a long time, she kept thinking that he might appear at any moment.
Perhaps he would bring her a bouquet of flowers, or a bag of snacks bought along the way, or perhaps nothing at all, just a quick glance at her as he left, weary from his journey.
Most of the time, he would have her guess a coin, and then solemnly tell her, "I'm pursuing you... Let's go on a date..."
They had their own unspoken agreement, and they both knew it, but neither of them revealed it.
Su Feng has always been insecure, so she panics when a relationship is defined. This is probably a lingering effect from her previous relationship—was she really going to decide on this person so quickly? What happens after all the vows of eternal love? In the end, betrayal still occurs.
Gu Weizhen understood, so he never asked her to be with him, but his attitude quietly told her that he cared about her, liked her, and was pursuing her.
Su Feng thought a lot along the way, and felt that Gu Weizhen was slowly boiling a frog in water.
But Su Feng liked this approach, which was both firm and relaxed. She exhaled softly, and when she came to her senses, the car had already entered Jiangjuntun.
Zhang's parents waited at the village entrance early in the morning, telling everyone they met, "My daughter is home for summer vacation today!"
"Your daughter who's studying at university in Beijing? She's really something! My kid couldn't even graduate from elementary school!"
"Is Su Feng going home? Does she have a boyfriend yet?"
"Alright, stop making introductions for people. Anyone you randomly pick in Beijing is better than the people you're being introduced to!"
"That's true. Speaking of which, all your children are very successful!"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang love to hear this. Who doesn't want to hear others praise their child?
This was the scene Su Feng saw as soon as she entered the village: a group of people surrounding Zhang's parents, chattering and waiting for her.
"Our top female student has arrived home!" Liu Nian asked Su Xu to park the car directly at the entrance of the village and then helped Su Feng open the car door.
"Hey! Keep it low-key." Su Feng glanced at Liu Nian shyly, then got out of the car.
In the village, besides Su Feng, there was only one other educated youth who could go to school in big cities, but that educated youth was not considered a native of Jiangjuntun.
Mentioning Su Feng makes everyone in Jiangjuntun proud, and also because they want to see something new, Su Feng was immediately surrounded as soon as she got off the bus.
"Su Feng, what's Beijing like? Is it beautiful? It's the capital!"
"Su Feng has become more beautiful! She looks so pretty! She has a much better presence than before!"
"How long will Sufeng be staying at home this time? Could you tutor my child when you have time?"
The villagers kept asking questions, one after another, and Su Feng didn't know how to answer them.
It took Su Feng a long time to walk home before she finally arrived at her doorstep.
The bedding at home had been aired out for several days, and it was very soft to the touch now. Zhang Ma quickly brought over some hot braised pork and said, "You didn't eat well on the way, did you? Eat something quickly."
"Mom!" Su Feng took the bowl, blinked, and looked like she was about to cry. "I miss you all so much."
Aunt Zhang was beaming with joy. "Eat up, stop whining!"
Su Feng is the youngest in the family, and she's spoiled by everyone.
"You're all coming over for dinner tonight! I've prepared a huge feast." Zhang Ma looked at Liu Nian and Su Xu, "Don't forget."
The couple quickly nodded and said, "Okay, we won't forget!"
After picking up Su Feng, Liu Nian and Su Xu still had things to do. One went to the factory, and the other went to the construction site. They didn't meet at home until evening.
After tidying up, they went to the Zhang family's house.
The bowls and chopsticks are already set out; it seems they're just waiting for them.
"Sit down quickly!" Zhang Suzhen pressed Liu Nian's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "We'll have a good talk with Su Feng later today."
Presumably still wanting to inquire about Gu Weizhen, Liu Nian nodded and said, "Okay."
Just as everyone in the room was getting into a lively conversation and about to pick up their chopsticks, they heard a creaking sound from outside the door.
It sounded like a car had parked in front of the house, followed by a knock on the door.
