Lin Dongfang looked at Chen Jianguo strangely, and spoke in a smug tone.
"That's impossible. Let me tell you, both families adore her, and I'm just a nobody."
But there's one thing I can do better than her, hehe, I was born before her, so she has to be the younger brother.
Now, not only Chen Jianguo, but also Jian Dan, Li Yan, Lin Zhaodi, and Tan Yajun, all looked at him like he was an idiot. Does this guy really have any emotional intelligence? Or is it negative?
The girls looked at each other and agreed that it was possible.
Chen Jianguo was speechless; it was unbelievable.
Do you think what I'm talking about is a question of who's the boss?
To be fair, Lin Dongfang is quite handsome; he's a good-looking young man. Even his wide-eyed expression right now is pleasing to the eye.
"What else could be the problem?"
Chen Jianguo stared at him for a full half minute, then his shoulders slumped heavily. Li Yan laughed beside him.
Why are you beating around the bush with him? He won't understand. Just say it directly.
Lin Dongfang looked at this person and that person, sensing something was wrong; his heart pounded in his chest.
"What are you talking about? Are you hiding something from me?"
Chen Jianguo was so angry he almost fell backward.
After sitting on the ground for a while to calm down, he finally sat up on a small stool, gripped Lin Dongfang's arm tightly with both hands, and asked seriously,
"Besides brothers, can't you think of any other relationship?"
Haven't you ever considered that if she doesn't want to be just brothers with you, is it possible she wants to develop a revolutionary friendship with you, or even become revolutionary comrades with you?
"Impossible! Two years ago, my mom even said she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, but she just glanced at me and ran away. Doesn't that mean she didn't agree?"
These few people are simply unbelievable. Even Chen Jianguo, who is so careless, doesn't know what to say. He can't understand what people are saying, and he can't read between the lines. He doesn't understand girls' thoughts at all. How did this person grow up to be so big?
“I really, really sympathize with your mother. She has had such a hard time all these years.”
Simple yet curious,
"Your mouth has never been punched? That's impossible."
"Having someone like that is really infuriating."
By this time, Lin Dongfang had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and cautiously asked for advice.
"What makes you think she wants to be with me, to date me?"
She's still acting shy and timid; it's unbearable to watch.
A simple and direct counter-question,
"Then what makes you so certain that it's impossible?"
The onlookers were quite engrossed in the spectacle. It's hard to say whether someone is single-minded or extraordinary; they're truly rare to encounter. At least, in all these years, they've only met one like this.
"Is this what they mean by 'having no emotional ties,' the kind of love that's cut off from all feelings and affections, like in novels?"
Before going to the countryside, Li Yan liked to read novels and listen to operas at the factory. She was fond of daydreaming and would often think of the characters in the stories when she looked at the people in front of her.
Comparing them, it seems that this person is more impressive. It's selective to only look at this one person and not understand.
"Doesn't he have any feelings?"
"No, that doesn't seem like it. When she's with us, there's nothing abnormal about it. She understands everything perfectly."
Chen Jianguo was exhausted.
"Brother, girls think differently than us men. If a girl looks at you and runs away, is it possible that she's shy?"
Can speaking softly to you also be a sign of shyness?
"Your mother hits you, your brother scolds you, could it be because you didn't understand things and upset them again? Are they just disappointed in you?"
Lin Dongfang was stunned. Shy? That crazy girl, is that even possible?
Chen Jianguo shook his head weakly.
"You're really something, aren't you? You've completely broken someone's heart, haven't you?"
Several girls were adding water to the tank.
"If you ask me, Brother Lin is right. For him, being a bachelor is the most suitable thing, and it will save him from delaying other girls."
"I really feel sorry for Lin's mother and brother. They've been stuck with someone like this. How are they going to get along with his family in the future? They were doing so well, but now they're making it so uncomfortable. It's like they're begging to marry into your Lin family, isn't it?"
"Maybe we're wrong, and they really are unwilling, just as Lin Dongfang said?"
Lin Dongfang's expressions shifted smoothly, sometimes laughing, sometimes on the verge of crying. He suddenly understood many things he hadn't known before, and he couldn't help but want to punch himself. All he could think about was, "She likes me."
The simple sound is not low.
"Yeah, if it were me, I'd just turn around and find someone better. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged men, aren't there? And outstanding girls are always the center of attention wherever they go."
Sigh, I wonder who will ultimately benefit from this good fortune!
That last sentence was probably the final straw that broke Lin Dongfang's back.
He jumped up, flipping the small stool over onto its back, not caring at all.
His hands were still trembling slightly, but he lifted his leg and ran outside.
"Why?"
This is like breaking the ice; once it starts, it's out of control.
Upon exiting the gate, Lin Dongfang's first instinct was to run towards the village entrance. After a moment's thought, he ran back a couple of steps, then reluctantly ran towards the village entrance again, only to turn back once more. This happened six or seven times, with a group of people leaning against the gate watching the spectacle.
"Do you think he'll have to go around in circles a few more times before he realizes he's going the wrong way?"
Li Yan gestured forward with her chin.
"Well, he's still very rational about other things."
After pausing for a few seconds, Lin Dongfang ran straight into the village. A group of people watched him; he was probably going to find the village chief.
"Not bad, at least they thought of getting a letter of introduction. I thought I would have to go and rescue them."
A short while later, Lin Dongfang ran out again, riding someone's bicycle.
"Oh, so your rationality has returned?"
A group of enthusiastic young men and women only calmed down and began to think practically after their bicycles disappeared beyond the village.
"Do you think it's really the right thing to say so bluntly?"
"Is that right? Can he really stay like this forever? We're just reminding him, otherwise the longer it goes on, the greater his regret will be."
That's true, but,
"But now he is an educated youth sent to the countryside. He said that he was spoiled at home, so he will basically stay in the city. What possibility and hope is there for the two of them?"
In that case, before it was just one person suffering, now it's two people suffering...
Hearing this, the others fell silent. They were indeed hot-blooded and idealistic, driven entirely by enthusiasm, without considering the reality at all.
"What should we do then? Did we do something wrong?"
I didn't really think that much about it just now, but what's the point of thinking about it now that it's already happened?
"Thinking about this now is pointless. How about we think about the possible scenarios and see if we can do anything for him?"
