Pei Yunchen followed behind him, jogging all the way up the mountain, but after trying for a long time, he still couldn't catch up.
He looked at Lu Huaiyan's back as he walked forward without hesitation, and pulled the corners of his mouth speechlessly, "I'm really impressed..."
He shouldn't have said what he just said, bringing trouble upon himself for no reason.
-
Those who had been on holiday yesterday afternoon and those who were originally serving in the army have all returned, but there is still no sign of Lu Huaiyan.
Meng Wanyue was sitting at home, already feeling annoyed, and now that there was no news from Lu Huaiyan, she became even more depressed. She couldn't sit still at home.
She changed her clothes. She was feeling uncomfortable and planned to go out for a walk to get some fresh air.
The alleys are especially lively today. Many people who work outside have returned home to visit their elderly parents and chat and laugh.
The few old ladies who used to love sitting at the entrance of the alley and chatting did not come out today. They all went home to entertain their children.
Meng Wanyue picked a wild flower from the side of the path, held it in her hand and played with it, while walking outside bored.
She came out simply to get some fresh air, without any other purpose.
Meng Wanyue hasn't gone out much these days. She has been staying at home, embroidering flowers or something when she has nothing to do. After walking for a while, she felt her legs a little sore.
She looked around and found a clean place beside the stone flower bed under the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley, where she sat down to rest.
She was sitting there in a daze when a figure suddenly appeared in her sight from afar.
Meng Wanyue frowned instantly.
Jiang Xiachu was riding a bicycle wearing a blue and white dress. Her hair was tied into a side bun with the wind blowing her hair up. She had light makeup on her face, which made her look very good.
From a distance, she looks like a great beauty.
Seeing Jiang Xiachu's appearance, Meng Wanyue's fists suddenly clenched, she gritted her teeth in anger, snorted coldly, and cursed her in her heart.
Who are you trying to seduce, dressed up so gorgeously?
Jiang Xiachu rode his bicycle slowly and leisurely. When he passed the alley, he was stopped by an aunt who was passing by.
"Is it the beginning of summer?"
When Jiang Xiachu heard the voice, she stopped immediately and replied with a smile: "It's me, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu smiled when she heard her accept, and looked at Jiang Xiachu with admiration, "Girls really change a lot when they grow up. If you passed by me on the street, I might not recognize you. You are so handsome!"
When the other people nearby heard the noise, they all came over happily.
"Yes, Xia Chu is so beautiful now! The more I look at her, the more I like her! I wish she were my daughter."
"How come you look so good in this little skirt? Oh, if only my boy were better, I could marry you home and make you my daughter-in-law!"
"The girl still has to take care of her career!"
"Oh, by the way! I heard that Xia Chu was accepted by the art troupe! It seems that she was even the first place."
Jiang Xiachu smiled when he heard about this, and then explained modestly: "Luckily, everyone is very good."
"You are awesome, that's awesome. There's no such thing as luck..."
"Yes, I think Xia Chu is pretty and has a nice figure. She will definitely be the mainstay of the art troupe in the future!"
“…”
Jiang Xiachu was surrounded by several middle-aged women, each one more enthusiastic than the other and kept praising her.
Noticing that she was riding a bicycle, Aunt Liu was a little curious and couldn't help asking her, "Xia Chu, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Xiachu smiled and replied: "Oh, I'm going out for dinner."
After hearing Jiang Xiachu's explanation, they didn't think much about it. After all, today was a holiday, and it was normal to make an appointment with friends to have dinner together.
At this moment, Aunt Du and her eldest son He Lingxuan had just bought some vegetables and were walking home with cloth bags in their hands. Then they saw Jiang Xiachu being surrounded by people.
He Lingxuan listened to Jiang Xiachu's words from afar. The corners of his lips, which were originally raised, drooped instantly, and he pouted with a look of resentment.
His mother had known about this all along, but she only just told him that Jiang Xiachu was going on a blind date.
Aunt Du sensed her son's strange mood, turned her head to look at him, frowned and said, "Why are you looking so long?"
He Lingxuan snorted coldly.
He just didn't want Sister Xia Chu to date anyone else. She was the most beautiful and outstanding girl in the world, and no man was worthy of standing by her side.
"Why didn't you tell me that Sister Xia Chu was going on a blind date?" He Lingxuan raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him, his tone somewhat complaining.
Aunt Du glanced at him, speechless. "What are you yelling about, kid? Your sister Xia Chu is going on a blind date, that's her business, why should I tell you about it? No matter what, it's not your turn, you little brat, grow up first."
"Xia Chu is going on a blind date? That's a good thing!"
When the person standing nearby heard He Lingxuan's words, his ears suddenly perked up, he nodded in sudden realization, and joined in the conversation with a smile.
"This is a good thing. When I broke off the engagement with Huai Yan, I thought she was devastated! This is how it should be."
"Young people are full of energy. Now that it's over, let's not mention it to avoid upsetting others. A new life has just begun." Grandpa Wang, who was sitting on the side, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, spoke slowly.
"Mom, I'm going back first."
He Lingxuan became even more annoyed when he heard their discussions. He stomped his feet in anger, clenched the cloth bag in his hand, took the bag from Aunt Du, turned around and walked away.
Aunt Du watched her son leave in a depressed mood and sighed helplessly.
Why is this kid so stubborn? No matter what, his son doesn't look like someone who is on the same side as Xia Chu.
Aunt Du didn't leave, but sat aside and chatted with a few neighbors.
Meng Wanyue was sitting in the corner. When she heard their conversation, she was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted.
She covered her heart, which felt painful and stuffy, and felt so uncomfortable.
She has been in the Lu family for several years and has not found a partner yet. Why is Jiang Xiachu going on a blind date right after breaking off the engagement?
How is she, Jiang Xiachu, worthy of him?
Could this blind date be with Lu Huaiyan?
Although the two of them had called off their engagement, she always felt that their relationship was closer than before. Although they always looked at each other coldly, they were in much closer contact than before.
The more Meng Wanyue thought about it, the angrier she became.
She frowned and watched Jiang Xiachu walking away. She inexplicably had a bad premonition and countless guesses emerged in her mind.
Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply stood up and chased after him.
She would never allow Jiang Xiachu to meet Lu Huaiyan again. Lu Huaiyan could only be hers.
Meng Wanyue ran faster and faster, but the distance between her and Jiang Xiachu was too big. She ran with big strides all the way and was exhausted. After a long time, she still couldn't catch up with Jiang Xiachu.
