"Gu Changzheng".
She reached out and tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her.
"What should we do if our son encounters something like this in the future?"
The couple also went to the city today. Many people from the village came out, and they all happened to get on the same bus. That's when they saw Shen Yicheng and Chen Yuanzhao. They were surrounded by the village aunties, who enthusiastically asked them if they wanted a partner.
Their intentions were so obvious; they were practically just trying to recommend their daughters.
Lu Huaijiao, who is about to become a mother, can now relate many things to her child.
The thought of being surrounded by people trying to set up dates, like Shen Yicheng and his friends, was terrifying to Lu Huaijiao.
Gu Changzheng chuckled and squeezed her hand.
With his other hand, he kept a close eye on her, keeping it in front of her to prevent her from accidentally bumping her stomach when the bus jolted along the road.
"If they can't even refuse a simple introduction to a potential partner, then I'm not going to bother with them anymore."
Compared to Lu Huaijiao's worries, Gu Changzheng seemed quite indifferent.
Lu Huaijiao curled her lips in disgust.
"You are heartless."
He grumbled and became unhappy. He glanced at the bustling front of the carriage, then started playing with Gu Changzheng's fingers, asking him if he had ever encountered such a situation.
People are constantly trying to set me up with potential partners.
Gu Changzheng smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Jealous?"
"Tch, I'm just curious, do you think some clueless auntie might try to set you up with someone, since you're such a troublemaker?"
"Honey, you've misunderstood your husband. I'm very popular."
Although Gu Changzheng has a bad reputation, he has a great physique and a very handsome face. His mother is the village's women's director, and his father is the brigade leader; they're practically a cadre family!
Such conditions are already considered very favorable in the village.
“If my feelings for my wife hadn’t been stronger than a rock, I would have been stolen away long ago.”
Gu Changzheng recalled the past, and then spoke in an exaggerated tone.
Lu Huaijiao scoffed.
I don't believe it.
The bus kept heading towards the county town.
The creaking and swaying sounds along the way were quite drowsy. Lu Huaijiao's eyelids did indeed grow heavy, and Gu Changzheng reached out and put his arm around her, letting her lean on his shoulder to sleep.
"Go to sleep for a bit, I'll wake you up when we get to the county."
It only takes them about forty minutes to get to the county town. It's only two or three kilometers from the village to the town, and then another ten or so kilometers from the town.
A distance of over ten kilometers, taking more than thirty minutes is considered a very slow speed.
Lu Huaijiao gave a slightly confused "hmm" and then closed her eyes to sleep peacefully.
The other people in the car were still talking.
However, Shen Yicheng, who was constantly being surrounded by people trying to introduce him to potential partners, made the excuse that he already had a fiancée in the city, and only then were he let go by the aunties with regretful expressions.
As for his companion Chen Yuanzhao, he wasn't so lucky.
Or perhaps it was because he didn't refuse firmly enough?
Although the aunties thought that Chen Yuanzhao seemed carefree and not as reliable as Shen Yicheng, they couldn't resist the irresistible aura of "I'm rich" emanating from him!
Moreover, Chen Yuanzhao doesn't have a girlfriend!
Having such a son-in-law would be great.
A kind-hearted aunt kept asking Chen Yuanzhao what kind of partner he wanted.
Chen Yuanzhao smiled and said, "As long as it's pleasing to the eye, that's fine."
"What kind of person do you find attractive? Do you prefer tall or plump? I think the fair-skinned and chubby type is good, as they are easy to raise."
Upon hearing this, another auntie immediately laughed and spoke up.
“Aunt Chunhua, why don’t you just say it’s your lotus? It’s so plump and healthy.”
"Wang Mei, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The woman who called Chunhua "Auntie" blushed.
That's right, it was indeed her who wanted to introduce their daughter. But since their daughter is a lesbian, shouldn't the man be the one to make the first move in finding a partner?
The other party has no interest in her daughter, so as a mother, she can't possibly rush to send her child away!
However, after everyone teased him like that, the aunties who had been trying to introduce him to potential partners were no longer embarrassed and dared not openly confront Chen Yuanzhao about it.
Chen Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Shen Yicheng pretending to read quotes beside him, he nudged his arm with his elbow: "Your diligence has really gotten me into trouble."
Shen Yicheng's eyelids twitched lazily: "Weren't you enjoying yourself?"
Chen Yuanzhao chuckled: "Having one or two is fine, but having too many is no good. Besides, after seeing that guy's face, the other women seem a bit less attractive!"
Chen Yuanzhao glanced meaningfully at the last row of seats.
Shen Yicheng chuckled.
"Be honest, she's already married and about to become a mother."
"Hey, I'm just taking a look, why are you so nervous?"
Chen Yuanzhao grinned mischievously: "But Lao Shen, it seems she really doesn't remember you. Aren't you going to catch up with her? You two went to the same kindergarten and were even deskmates for a year in elementary school!"
"boring."
The only response Chen Yuanzhao received was Shen Yicheng's cold voice.
Chen Yuanzhao sighed, feeling quite frustrated!
He found it strange that Lao Shen didn't dare to acknowledge Lu Huaijiao. After all, they were schoolmates! Now that Lao Shen had acknowledged Lu Huaijiao, shouldn't the brigade leader take better care of them by leveraging their school relationship?
Chen Yuanzhao couldn't understand it.
Shen Yicheng pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The bus arrived in the county town quickly.
The people on the bus got off in a rush and headed to their destinations in twos and threes.
Lu Huaijiao also woke up at this time.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the motionless wall outside the window: "Have we arrived in the county town?"
Turning around, I realized the bus was empty.
Oh no, there are only the two of them.
Why didn't you call me earlier?
She pouted and pinched Gu Changzheng's arm beside her.
Gu Changzheng smiled and said, "No rush, the bus doesn't leave for several more hours, you can sleep until you naturally wake up."
Because there are no cars available now, there's only one vehicle going back and forth twice a day! So the interval between trips is quite long, which is convenient for people coming to the county town.
So what Gu Changzheng said about being able to sleep in the car until you naturally wake up is really true.
"I came to the county hospital for a check-up, not to sleep on the bus."
If it's just about sleeping, she could easily sleep at home, right? Coming to sleep on the bus, she's not crazy!
Gu Changzheng's thin lips curled into a smile.
"Shall we get off now?"
"Are you staying in the car for the New Year instead of getting off?"
