"Huo Jing, these are corn cakes I just made. Eat them while they're hot."
Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at the small river in front of the educated youth settlement and heard Lin Wanwan's coquettish and shy voice from afar.
She stopped and stood still.
In the distance, a man wearing a tattered vest squatted by the river, washing his clothes. His bangs obscured his face, and only the sharp profile of his face was faintly visible.
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Lin Wanwan stomped her foot and huffed, "Huo Jing, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"Worried that someone hadn't eaten enough, I rushed to make poop as soon as I finished work, but who knew they wouldn't appreciate it, hmph~"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "......."
Has the world gone completely mad?
Is Lin Wanwan drastically changing her image from a dramatic girl? Is she preparing to take the affected route?
This was quite different from the Lin Wanwan she remembered, whose face always carried a hint of malice.
I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.
"Stay away from me." Lin Wanwan moved closer, intending to squat down next to the man, while reaching out to feed him corn cakes. A hint of disgust flashed in Huo Jing's eyes, and he suddenly stood up and moved a great distance to the side.
They avoided Lin Wanwan like the plague.
Lin Wanwan was heartbroken and looked at him with a wronged expression. "Why don't you like me? I like you so much, I would do anything for you."
“I know you don’t have money, but I don’t look down on you. I do have money. I’m from Beijing, and my family is very powerful and influential there.”
After she went to the countryside, she learned that the future richest man in China was still an orphan who didn't even have a proper house in the village. The villagers said that he usually lived in the mountains and slept in caves.
Occasionally, they would hunt prey and bring it down the mountain to exchange for some food with the brigade.
Poor and useless.
Nobody in the group liked him; they would avoid him whenever they saw him. Lin Wanwan had a goal in mind, and naturally she wanted to be the maverick, the different kind of person.
So she figured out when and how often Huo Jing came down the mountain, and deliberately created opportunities to meet him. She offered him her love, cared for him deeply, and showed him warmth and concern. Even a stone would have been warmed by her affection.
Unfortunately, he was cold-hearted, vicious, and cruel, looking at her as if she were a piece of garbage.
Several months have passed with no progress, and Lin Wanwan is getting anxious.
Going to the countryside is no easy task for a human being. There was endless work to do and not enough to eat every day. If it weren't for the promise of becoming the wife of a billionaire, she would have cried and wanted to quit long ago.
As long as she and Huo Jing become a couple, and Huo Jing is tall and strong, it wouldn't be too much for him to do some work for her, right?
So, she stubbornly pouted and looked at him, "Huo Jing, I like you, will you be my boyfriend?"
Huo Jing wrung out the clothes in a few quick movements, his hands were strong and powerful, and he tore the already worn-out shirt.
I kept the last small piece of clothing, a short-sleeved shirt that looked intact despite its wear and tear, but had been patched up. I carefully picked it up and gently wrung out the water.
He unfolded his short-sleeved shirt to make sure it wasn't torn, and his cold, stern expression softened.
He put the clothes in the basin, picked it up, glanced at Lin Wanwan, and said coldly, "Before you speak, hide the ambition in your eyes."
"I'm warning you, stay away from me, or I'll beat you up."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist.
Seeing his fierce expression, Lin Wanwan took two steps back in fear.
Without noticing that she was standing on the bank, he retreated and ended up in the river.
"Thump!"
The crisp sound of water hitting the surface.
"Help...help me!" Lin Wanwan struggled in the river.
But in her heart, she was thinking that if Huo Jing jumped down to save her, it would be a good idea for her to take the opportunity to force him into marriage.
So they shouted even louder.
Huo Jing didn't even glance at her, and strode towards Lin Xiaoxiao.
When he got closer and saw Lin Xiaoxiao, he paused slightly. His wolf-like, piercing black eyes swept over her face, and a strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
Then, he pursed his lips, walked past her, and left.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide and looked up at him.
Good heavens, she's even taller than the Director of the Counter-Espionage Division who challenged her last time. She must be at least 1.95 meters tall.
It stood in front of me, like a small mountain.
This is definitely going to be a rough-and-tumble male protagonist in a novel.
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed for a moment, then put it out of her mind.
"Help... Huo Jing, save me." Worried about getting water in her eyes, Lin Wanwan closed her eyes and thrashed about, even pretending to choke on water and coughing twice.
Lin Xiaoxiao admired her clumsy acting skills and said quietly, "Sister, the person has already left."
Lin Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the shore. The sky was already getting dark.
"ah!"
ghost.
There's a ghost.
The water level was only up to her waist, but because she stumbled, she fell backward, and water got into her ears, nose, and mouth.
She was in so much pain that she thrashed about while looking fearfully at the shore.
You must be mistaken. How could Lin Xiaoxiao, who lives far away in Jiangcheng, appear in Peach Blossom Village?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
No matter how she looked at her, left or right, up or down, Lin Xiaoxiao still stood on the shore, smiling as she watched her disheveled appearance.
"Why...why did you come?" Lin Wanwan struggled to climb out of the river.
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and laughed gleefully, "Oh, I almost forgot, your man is dead, do you want me to find you a new one? You'd better beg me."
Pushing the marriage onto Lin Xiaoxiao was truly the best decision she ever made in her life.
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't angry at all; instead, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. My man is doing great. He not only made a contribution but was also promoted to deputy regimental commander. He has a bright future ahead of him."
Lin Wanwan's eyes widened. "Impossible!"
