Hou Fangguan's expression froze, and he almost lost his composure.
He rushed over right after the final exams, never expecting Lin Ziyan to be so indifferent.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Ayan, the feast is about to begin, come quickly..."
The chubby girl's shouts came from the Chen family's courtyard.
Lin Ziyan responded and prepared to turn around and walk into the Chen family's courtyard.
Hou Fangguan is a very proud person. He met with a tough challenge and at this moment he just wanted to disappear on the spot.
But thinking of the profits from so many shrimp farms, he tried hard to suppress his rising anger.
"Ziyan, are you still blaming me?"
“When I came last time, I didn’t bring any money for the trip and I didn’t even have any water. It’s understandable that I was frightened by what you said.”
“This time is different. When I got home, I told my family that I could come to your house to propose marriage after the New Year. It’s impossible for me to come to your house, but you don’t have to go with me…” Hou Fangguan was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted.
He felt that he had already made concessions and that Lin Ziyan would not refuse.
"Comrade Hou, did you leave home before you were fully awake? Are you dreaming?" Lin Ziyan stepped forward, a chill creeping into her eyes.
So this guy heard a lot about her at school and was trying to take advantage of her?
Hou Fangguan clenched his fists, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
His current expression suggests that he is furious and embarrassed because his thoughts have been seen through.
"Perfect timing, wait a minute, let's settle the accounts." Lin Ziyan pushed open the gate to her yard and went inside to get the account books.
She didn't want to argue with Hou Fangguan, but since he had come to her door repeatedly, she couldn't blame her for being petty.
Hou Fangguan stood there stunned. A gust of cold wind blew by, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
"Comrade Hou, please check if there are any mistakes in the notebook. If there are no problems, please return the money as soon as possible." Lin Ziyan handed a notebook to Hou Fangguan.
The amount recorded on it wasn't much, maybe a couple hundred yuan.
That money could buy two hundred kilograms of rice.
Lin Ziyan really didn't know whether to say the original owner was smart or stupid. When she remembered these things, did she really expect the man in front of her to repay her?
"No, you are not Ziyan..."
"Who are you? Why are you impersonating her?" Hou Fangguan suddenly widened his eyes and backed away in fear.
He looked at the diary, and it was indeed Lin Ziyan's handwriting.
But he was certain that the shrewd and indifferent woman in front of him was definitely not Lin Ziyan.
Hou Fangguan threw down the ledger, turned and ran, disappearing around the corner of the alley in no time.
Lin Ziyan's lips twitched as she looked at the man who had disappeared without a trace, speechless.
She was about to walk over and pick up the notebook when Lu Yun Shen took it first.
A tall, dark shadow covered her shadow.
Lu Yun Shen's eyes darkened as he looked at the accounting records.
He didn't turn the page, but closed the notebook and handed it to Lin Ziyan.
He only heard the last sentence: the man said she wasn't Lin Ziyan.
"When did you arrive?" Lin Ziyan asked guiltily, not daring to look at her, and quickly hid the notebook behind her back.
A glint of light flashed in Lu Yunshen's eyes, "Before that man ran away..."
"Did you date him before?"
Lin Ziyan was stunned for a few seconds, "..."
Before the escape? How long ago?
"Hmm?" Lu Yun Shen sat on the stone stool by the door, waiting for her to explain.
He just looked at his notebook; even a single popsicle was recorded.
When Lin Ziyan went out with him, she calculated everything carefully and never took advantage of him.
"No, we were just classmates..." Lin Ziyan wasn't lying; the original owner of this body really hadn't dated Hou Fangguan.
In reality, Hou Fangguan kept the relationship hanging, without confirming it, and of course, they didn't even hold hands or anything like that.
"Why did you come here? Isn't this mealtime?" Lin Ziyan changed the subject.
"Grandma said she'd be teaching extra classes tonight, so she asked me to come over and tell you," Lu Yunshen said, getting up.
He didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has secrets, and if she didn't tell him anything in the future, Lu Yun Shen didn't think anything of it.
The man was right; he also felt that she was completely different from before.
But she is indeed Lin Ziyan…
Lin Ziyan: "Okay, I'll go over tonight."
Lu Yun Shen nodded, said nothing more, and left.
As he passed by her, he suddenly stopped and whispered, "If that person harasses you again, I can help deal with it."
Lin Ziyan, "..."
She didn't speak, but stared at the smile on his lips for a moment, stunned.
Lu Yunshen didn't linger and walked past her.
She pursed her lips, watching his departing figure as she fell into deep thought.
Rebirth is an inconceivable thing, and Lin Ziyan thought she would never tell anyone about it, not even her closest relatives.
She had long suspected Lu Yunshen, and now she was probably even more certain that she was not the original Lin Ziyan.
…
Terrified, Hou Fangguan hid under a large tree at the village entrance, trembling all over.
He finally realized what had felt off last time.
Eyes…
Lin Ziyan looked at him as if he were a stranger, with none of the admiration and closeness she used to have.
Staring at those indifferent eyes, Hou Fangguan felt as if he were invisible.
He was certain that the person was not Ziyan.
"Student Hou?"
He suddenly stepped back, only relaxing when he saw it was Wei Caixia.
Wei Caixia thought he had come to see her, her eyes lit up, and she leaned closer.
Villagers would occasionally walk by, and she dared not make any moves.
"Hou, are you looking at me?" Wei Caixia asked impatiently, her cheeks flushed.
The two of them almost always met in the cafeteria this semester.
Every time she tried to chat with Hou Fangguan, he would just bury himself in his food and show no interest in talking. But today, he actually took the initiative to come to the village.
Wei Caixia's heart suddenly raced, and she stared at Hou Fangguan's face, unwilling to look away.
"Caixia, I just went to the Lin family. Lin Ziyan is an imposter, not the real Lin Ziyan..." Hou Fangguan couldn't explain and was sweating profusely.
He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, and hadn't recovered from the shock he had just experienced.
Wei Caixia's lips slowly curled up. So he didn't come to see her, but went to see Lin Ziyan again?
She was consumed by jealousy. Why was everyone's attention focused on Lin Ziyan?
Her father was, and so were her classmates.
Wang Li and Shen Yue's conversations now revolve entirely around Lin Ziyan.
"Did you hear me clearly? Lin Ziyan isn't the same one as before..."
"I'm certain she's not the original Lin Ziyan." Hou Fangguan was so excited that he grabbed Wei Caixia's shoulders and shook her violently.
Wei Caixia frowned, the pain in her shoulder instantly bringing her to her senses. In just a moment, she lost all goodwill towards Hou Fangguan.
Her father beat her mother when she was little. After she grew up, Wei Caixia realized that this was domestic violence.
She has no liking for any man who makes unwanted physical advances.
"Let go!" Wei Caixia suddenly shouted.
Hou Fangguan froze, subconsciously letting go of the person in front of him, as if he didn't recognize him.
Wei Caixia said, "Hou, I hope you will pay back the money you owe me next semester."
She turned and left immediately after saying that.
Liu Hou Fang Guan stood alone under the tree, feeling the cold wind...
