Chapter 6: White Moonlight Zheng Jiaojiao
Zheng Jiaojiao thought she had been careful enough in her observation, but Xu Xiaoyue still noticed the gaze.
She turned her head and glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao. In this novel, Xu Xiaoyue was positioned as a cannon fodder female supporting role, while Zheng Jiaojiao was the sweet and lovely heroine.
In fact, Zheng Jiaojiao was just a distant relative of the Yan family who was staying at the Yan family temporarily.
Zheng Jiaojiao is the name of her best friend in real life. For some reason, that person did not portray the character of Zheng Jiaojiao into a great beauty. From the appearance, she can only be described as ordinary.
Who could have imagined that with such an ordinary appearance, she would conquer everyone in the compound with her kindness in the end of the book and become the white moonlight in the eyes of gay men.
Liu Ye glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao who was standing behind Yan Shuli. She originally wanted to talk about child marriage, but swallowed the words in her throat.
Adhering to the principle of "the guest should follow the host's wishes", Xu Xiaoyue was arranged to stay in the same room with Zheng Jiaojiao.
The first thing Xu Xiaoyue did after settling down was to take out the coat that the person on the train had given her from her bag and carefully wash it.
Even after several hours, the cool woody scent on the coat was still faintly wafting. Xu Xiaoyue carefully recalled how he called himself on the train, the commander of the 181st Regiment... Yan Ye.
This name always feels familiar.
Xu Xiaoyue really regretted that she had only hastily glanced at her own ending and had no idea about the plot developments in between.
The water was splashing, and Zheng Jiaojiao tiptoed quietly towards Xu Xiaoyue.
The bathroom door was wide open, and when Zheng Jiaojiao looked up, she saw a men's coat in the basin.
Her eyelids twitched, and she quietly left while Xu Xiaoyue was still concentrating on washing her coat and didn't notice her.
Zheng Jiaojiao curled her lips. She had thought that this woman had some opportunities, but now it seemed that her coquettish nature remained unchanged.
She had just arrived at Yan's house, and she didn't know which man she had hooked up with.
Although she shared a room with Zheng Jiaojiao, fortunately it was a bunk bed, so Xu Xiaoyue could still accept sleeping on the upper bunk.
She didn't want to pay attention to Zheng Jiaojiao, but Zheng Jiaojiao took the initiative to talk to her.
"Sister Yue, it must be very hard for you to take the train from the countryside."
"It's okay." Xu Xiaoyue turned over.
"What do you think of Brother Shuli?" Zheng Jiaojiao asked, holding her breath to hear Xu Xiaoyue's answer.
Now that all the rhetoric had been directed at her, Xu Xiaoyue curled the corners of her mouth. She really wasn't in the mood to play this game with Zheng Jiaojiao, so she simply replied with the answer she wanted to hear.
"That's good, but there are so many outstanding men in this compound, I'm not in a hurry, I still have to consider it."
After hearing this, Zheng Jiaojiao covered her mouth to prevent her from laughing. She was worrying too much. Whether in the last life or this life, Xu Xiaoyue would never be her opponent.
The moon disappeared from the horizon, the mist was dispersed, and the sky became bright.
"Hey, come and have breakfast." The voice came from outside the door, and it was the same curly-haired woman from yesterday.
At this moment, there was a tall and thin man standing next to her. As soon as he entered the Yan family, he looked around with a shifty look as if he was looking for something.
"Yanhong, is there something going on so early in the morning?" Liu Ye frowned.
Hu Hongyan took two steps forward, stretched out her hand and pulled the man next to her in front of her, with a smile on her face, but he looked malicious.
"You had guests over yesterday, so I thought I'd bring my kid over to make him more familiar to you."
After saying that, the woman noticed Xu Xiaoyue standing behind the crowd and said, "Comrade Xiao Xu, right?"
"You've just arrived at the compound and you don't know anyone here. If you have nothing to do, come visit my aunt. If you have any questions, just ask Haozi."
Haozi was stunned when his name was called. When he saw Xu Xiaoyue's face, his eyes lit up and he came out from behind the woman. "Yes, yes, come to me if you don't understand anything. You can also come to me if you have nothing to do..."
The man's greasy eyes swept from Xu Xiaoyue's face to her soft waist.
Xu Xiaoyue took two steps back and said politely, "I appreciate your kindness. If there's anything I don't know, I can just ask Aunt Liu. Why would I trouble you?"
Liu Ye stood between the two of them with a frown on her face. Everyone in the compound knew that Wang Hao had not even finished elementary school and had just started hanging out on the streets. He usually did nothing but idle around every day, and the only thing he did was to fool Xu Xiaoyue, a little girl from the country.
Fortunately, although Xu Xiaoyue came from the countryside, she behaved very well. It was for this reason that Liu Ye agreed to let her stay in the Yan family.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Xiaoyue had already politely refused. Wang Hao stared at the woman in front of him and stretched out his hand to try to shake hands with Xu Xiaoyue.
Seeing this, Yan Shuli took the lead and shook the man's hand, saying in a bad tone: "Don't worry about the Yan family's affairs."
The man showed pain on his face and subconsciously tried to pull his hand away, but Yan Shuli held it too tightly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Hu Hongyan hurried forward and asked, "Oh my, what are you doing?"
Receiving Liu Ye's gaze, Yan Shuli withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Nothing, I just want to advise Auntie to take care of her own business before worrying about other people's business."
Hu Hongyan's face looked ugly. She looked at Xu Xiaoyue who was silent, feeling a little more resentful in her heart. He was just a country girl, but he was putting on airs in front of her.
She couldn't swallow this breath, but she didn't dare to tear her face and get angry at Liu Ye, so she just said sarcastically to Xu Xiaoyue: "Bah, what kind of clothes are you wearing? It's so ugly, you country bumpkin."
Xu Xiaoyue tried to keep a low profile. She was still wearing a sweatshirt that had turned yellow from being washed in the countryside. Her face only held up her rustic look.
Being pointed at and scolded, Xu Xiaoyue smiled instead, "Aunt, you already know that I'm a country bumpkin, and you still rush to find me. I thought you were after my country bumpkin identity."
This sentence made Hu Hongyan so angry that her face turned blue. Fearing that Yan Shuli would cause more trouble, she pulled Wang Hao and hurriedly left for the door.
"Auntie Wang, don't open the door when you see these two people in the future." Liu Ye sat on the sofa, her chest heaving. It is said that one should not consider the Buddha's face but the monk's. But she mocked Xu Xiaoyue in front of the Yan family. Did she really think they were soft persimmons that were easy to squeeze?
Liu Ye walked up the stairs quickly and when she came down she still had a few cloth coupons in her hand.
"Good boy, I've been so busy with the hospital these days that I've lost my mind. You and Jiaojiao, take these cloth coupons and let Shuli take you to the state-owned supermarket to buy some clothes."
Zheng Jiaojiao, who was standing next to him, shook her head like a rattle after hearing this. "Aunt, how can this be possible? I have already caused you a lot of trouble by coming up to stay with you, and I can't use your cloth coupons."
"Well, cloth coupons don't cost much, so you girls should wear brighter clothes and dress up beautifully."
Hu Hongyan's words really reminded Liu Ye that no matter where these two girls came from, since they had settled down in the Yan family, they should not dress like that anymore to avoid being laughed at.
Zheng Jiaojiao was about to refuse, but Xu Xiaoyue took the ticket with a smile: "I dare not refuse a gift from an elder. Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Rather than refusing hesitantly, Liu Ye felt more comfortable with Xu Xiaoyue's frank acceptance.
Zheng Jiaojiao did not miss the approval in the woman's eyes. She was stunned for a moment. Xu Xiaoyue accepted it as a matter of course. Doesn't this prove that she came to the Yan family just for money?
She pinched her palms, thinking of what she saw last night. She asked innocently in front of everyone, "Sister Yue, speaking of clothes, the coat you washed last night looked so big. I gestured and it reached my knees."
The coat... is too big to reach the knees. Xu Xiaoyue is only half a head taller than Zheng Jiaojiao, so how could she have such a big coat? It is obvious that this coat does not belong to her, and it is even worn by a gay man.
This one sentence alone revealed so much information that it was staggering. The air was silent for a few seconds.
