Lin Yumei's birthday party made everyone very happy, especially Sun Kejian. After Wang Dongyang shifted the focus to Yuan Fangguo, he no longer felt any pressure. After the meal, he only drank more than two taels of wine.
When the party ended at eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Dongyang seemed to be reluctant to leave. He was about to take Yuan Fangguo out for a drink, but unexpectedly his girlfriend handed him a cell phone.
After speaking a few words into the mobile phone, Wang Dongyang could only apologize to his cousin Lin Yumei, "Sister, I have to go back. Something happened."
Lin Yumei nodded and watched Wang Dongyang's girlfriend drive away.
Lin Yumei's friends and classmates were also very considerate. They dispersed soon after the party ended, waiting for Wang Dongyang to leave. It seemed that she and Yuan Fangguo were the only ones left on the huge street.
"Did you drink quite a bit?" Lin Yumei said with some heartache.
"It's okay. Your cousin is here. He likes to drink, so I'll drink with him."
"My cousin can't drink much. Luckily he left for something. Otherwise, he would have dragged you to continue drinking."
"So should I go or not?" Yuan Fangguo looked at Lin Yumei inquiringly.
Lin Yumei laughed and said, "I don't care about you that much."
"You're just going to give up now? Then what's the difference between me and being single?" Yuan Fangguo said jokingly.
Lin Yumei suddenly understood and lowered her head shyly.
Yuan Fangguo took this opportunity to gently kiss Lin Yumei on the hair, and the fragrance of her hair hit Yuan Fangguo's nostrils.
The scent of this hair seems to be very addictive to him...
Lin Yumei never expected that Yuan Fangguo would "act like a hooligan" so quickly, and she was not even prepared in her heart.
"Don't..." Lin Yumei said shyly.
Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "Your hair smells good."
"Hmm..." Lin Yumei bit her lips tightly, and the couples in the school began to emerge in her mind. To be honest, what Yuan Fangguo did was not excessive at all. On the campus of the Normal University, she had seen at least several couples kissing.
"How about we take a walk?" Yuan Fangguo said as he pulled Lin Yumei's hand.
Lin Yumei's hands were a little cold in the cold wind, but after Yuan Fangguo's big hand pulled them up, she felt her cold hands suddenly become warm.
"Okay." Lin Yumei did not avoid Yuan Fangguo's hand holding. She began to hold Yuan Fangguo's hand naturally.
"Actually, I've always had a crush on you." Yuan Fangguo pulled Lin Yumei along as they slowly walked down the sidewalk. "It's just that sometimes I feel like I'm not worthy of you, so I've never dared to confess."
Lin Yumei looked at Yuan Fangguo's chiseled profile and said angrily, "I always thought you were a man who kept up with the times. I didn't expect your thinking to be so traditional. What era is this? Why are you still so particular? Besides, don't you realize that you are also very outstanding?"
"You discovered all this?" Yuan Fangguo laughed.
"Hate it...you're always trying to trick me." Lin Yumei said coquettishly.
"No, I'm telling the truth. You see, your family is so well-off. I'm worried that others will think I have other intentions by being with you." Yuan Fangguo felt that when he said this, it was as if he was a beautiful woman and Lin Yumei was a very capable man.
In short, he felt very awkward when he said this.
"What can you want from me? I'm just an ordinary person." Lin Yumei sighed, then said sincerely, "I really think I'm just an ordinary girl, no different from others."
"Have you ever been to the countryside?" Yuan Fangguo suddenly asked.
Lin Yumei shook her head and said, "I haven't been there."
"Yumei, the reason why you think you are an ordinary person is because you have never been to the countryside. Take our hometown for example. The mountains there are high and the roads are steep. It takes two or three hours to walk from home to the village, and the roads are all mountain roads. Sometimes when we walk on the mountain road, there is a bottomless cliff on the side, and we can hear the whistling mountain wind in our ears..." Yuan Fangguo described the situation of his hometown to Lin Yumei vividly.
"The air there must be very good." Lin Yumei said with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Yes, the air is very good, but facing the mountains, there is no hope outside."
"Didn't you see it?" Lin Yumei chuckled.
"I'm just a special case. To be honest, there are two main factors that enabled me to go to college." Yuan Fangguo looked at Lin Yumei seriously and said.
"Fang Guo, tell me, which two factors?"
"One is that my second brother voluntarily gave me the opportunity. He was also an excellent student, but our family was very burdened and could only afford to send one child to school." Yuan Fangguo said, "The other is a teacher from our village. He used to be a railway soldier and traveled all over the country. After being injured, he returned to his hometown and became a teacher. He told us a lot about the outside world. At least it broadened my horizons when I was very young. I believed that beyond the vast mountains there was no sea, no mermaids, no lighthouses..."
"Fang Guo, what is your brother doing now?"
"He joined the army because of the connections my teacher made. Otherwise, with our family's financial situation, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do so."
"Why can't I join the army?" Lin Yumei asked curiously.
"My hometown is too poor. Many children in rural areas regard joining the army as the only way to change their destiny. So when recruiting, many people give gifts and money. Whoever gives more will go. Children in the mountains are used to being wild. Once they arrive at the army, as long as they are well managed, they will definitely be good soldiers." Yuan Fangguo unconsciously combined his past life experience and told it.
