However, since the task had already been assigned to him, he couldn't refuse.
"Honey, what do you want me to say?"
Gu Changzheng walked a few steps to Lu Huaijiao's side, lowered his eyes and asked.
Lu Huaijiao wrinkled her nose in annoyance at him for getting too close, and sweat dripped onto her skirt.
"Hold up an umbrella."
He shoved the umbrella into Gu Changzheng's hand, freeing his slightly sore hand. While rubbing his wrist, he asked, "Huang Zhiqing said that Brother Tiezhu has a girlfriend. Do you think it's true?"
Whether it was the way she handed the umbrella to Gu Changzheng or the way she wrinkled her nose in disgust, everything she did was so natural.
This scene, witnessed by others, evoked great envy.
Huang Tingxiu was very envious of Lu Huaijiao when she was by her side.
She felt that no matter what others said, the couple next to her must have a really good relationship.
Gu Changzheng tilted the umbrella in his hand towards the two women, while also using his body to shield Lu Huaijiao from the slanting sun.
Hearing Lu Huaijiao's words, Gu Changzheng hummed in response.
Lu Huaijiao raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm what?"
"It's fake."
Gu Changzheng immediately gave an affirmative answer.
The man, who originally tried to maintain a certain aloofness in front of outsiders, completely abandoned any pretense of being a celebrity after his wife gave him a soft, reproachful look.
Lu Huaijiao nodded in satisfaction.
Ignoring Gu Changzheng, he turned to talk to Huang Tingxiu.
"Xiuxiu, did you hear that? Brother Tiezhu is lying to you."
Huang Tingxiu, who had been envious of Lu Huaijiao and her boyfriend's relationship, was suddenly called out by Lu Huaijiao. She paused for a moment, then asked blankly, "Why...?"
If Gu Tiezhu didn't have a girlfriend, why did he lie to her and say he did?
Does this mean he doesn't think much of her?
Or is it because they think she can't earn enough work points?
Huang Tingxiu felt increasingly frustrated as she thought about it, feeling that she was really terrible!
Even she herself didn't realize that she had fallen into a strange vicious cycle.
Lu Huaijiao blinked: "Why? Maybe Brother Tiezhu feels he's not good enough for you? After all, you're an educated youth from the city, and you'll have to go back to the city sooner or later. He doesn't dare to express his feelings to you, and that's probably what he means."
The usually childlike Lu Huaijiao was now analyzing relationship matters with great clarity and insight, appearing very experienced and reasonable.
Whether others believe it or not is another matter, but Huang Tingxiu truly believed it.
"Back to the city..."
Will they be able to return to the city?
I've been in the countryside for several years now, and I haven't heard any news about returning to the city. Instead, batches of educated youth are coming to the countryside. Most of the original educated youth couldn't endure it and have married locals and started families.
Have they considered going back to the city?
No, I should say, do they still have a chance to return to the city?
Huang Tingxiu looked at Lu Huaijiao with a blank expression. Seeing Lu Huaijiao's fair and delicate face under the umbrella, with her exquisite and beautiful features, it was clear that she had never suffered any hardship.
Doesn't Lu Huaijiao want to go back to the city?
"Huaijiao, have you thought about going back to the city?"
Why did she choose to marry Gu Changzheng?
"Yes, I do."
Lu Huaijiao was frank and answered without hesitation. Unlike others who avoided the topic of returning to the city and instead spouted some grand principles, she didn't do the same.
Gu Changzheng, on the other hand, couldn't help but tense up.
Looking down at the girl beside him with a faint smile on her face, his tangled heart slowly relaxed.
He should trust his wife.
Lu Huaijiao didn't notice anything amiss with Gu Changzheng. After answering Huang Tingxiu, she paused before continuing, "But living in the city isn't the only thing I want!"
"Besides returning to the city, there are many other things that are very important to me. If I foolishly give up other people or things just for the goal of returning to the city, wouldn't I be too stupid?"
She, Lu Huaijiao, would never do something so stupid!
"Besides, what difference does it make where you live? As long as you're with the person you love, it shouldn't matter where you are, right?"
"If I really go back to the city, but have to leave the person I love, I feel like it wouldn't be very meaningful!"
"Of course, your situation is different from mine, and you need to consider this carefully."
Lu Huaijiao is not the kind of person who would force her own ideas onto others.
She didn't mean for Huang Tingxiu to necessarily listen to her.
Huang Tingxiu was stunned by her shocking words.
For a moment, I didn't understand what Lu Huaijiao meant.
Gu Changzheng, standing to the side, smiled, though he tried to control himself, his thin lips involuntarily curving upwards. He took Lu Huaijiao's hand.
"Jiaojiao, is the person who's important to you, the person you like, me?"
Regardless of whether there were others present, he couldn't wait any longer; his inner elation was about to burst forth.
Lu Huaijiao pouted.
"What are you dreaming of? He's my child, Mom and Dad, you..." She glanced at the fading smile on Gu Changzheng's face and muttered, "You can be ranked third for now."
The last sound was a little soft, but Gu Changzheng, being close by and with excellent hearing, heard it immediately.
The man, who was initially disappointed, now had a wide grin that almost reached the back of his head.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, your husband will never let you live in the village forever."
