Lu Qiaoqing is interested in Chen Ziyun.
Seeing Chen Ziyun's expression change, she couldn't help but said sourly: "Chen Zhiqing, why do you seem unhappy today? Are you interested in that Shen Chuning? Are you unhappy that she got married?"
Chen Ziyun came back to his senses and quickly forced a smile, "Nothing like that? What I seek in a partner is a soul mate. She is just an uneducated and unthinking country girl. How could I be interested in her?"
A hint of joy flashed in Lu Qiaoqing's eyes, "Chen Zhiqing, you mean you like cultured people, right?"
In terms of looks, she admitted that she was indeed not as good-looking as the foxy Shen Chuning.
But in terms of education, she is a junior high school graduate. With this level of education, she can be considered impressive even in the city, not to mention in the small mountain village of Cihang Brigade.
"Yeah." Chen Ziyun responded perfunctorily while chewing on a tasteless sweet potato.
Wang Yumeng glanced at Lu Qiaoqing.
After all, Chen Ziyun is the male protagonist of the book, and his gentle and scholarly appearance is very popular among girls.
Lu Qiaoqing didn't even take a piss to look at herself. She was short and ugly, with a round face covered with freckles. How could Chen Ziyun possibly like her?
However, now the heroine has married a stranger in the book, while the hero is frustrated here, which has completely changed the direction of the plot.
She doesn’t know whether the male protagonist’s aura as the protagonist is still there, which is a bit troublesome.
The three of them, each with their own ulterior motives, finished eating half of their sweet potato.

On the other side, in the Zhou family yard.
Zhou Yubai, who is usually calm and composed, was in a good mood today and drank one cup after another with the guests.
The corners of his mouth were raised and never lowered.
Li Xiaolan kept her eyes fixed on Zhou Yubai. She has been following Zhou Yubai since she was sixteen years old.
Every time Zhou Yubai came back, she would find ways to talk to him.
But he didn't even look at her, let alone smile at her.
Every time I talk to her, she has a cold face and is very frugal with her words.
Would marrying Shen Chuning now make him so happy?
Li Xiaolan thought about it, her heart full of bitterness, she tilted her head back and drank a glass of wine.
Soju is spicy to begin with, and she drank it so quickly that it made her cry.
The aunt at the same table saw it and exclaimed, "Xiao Lan, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
The person next to him nudged the aunt and signaled Zhou Yubai with his eyes, "Don't you know that Xiaolan likes Zhou Laosan?"
The aunt nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."
Li Xiaolan couldn't sit still any longer and got up and left.
The aunts behind them started to discuss, "Now that Zhou Laosan is getting married, Xiaolan should give up and can now find a husband with peace of mind."
"It's really worrying that the Li family has such a daughter. She is always thinking about Zhou Lao San. And she has dragged on until this age. How can there be anything good for her to choose?"
…
Shen Chu Ning knew nothing about what was happening outside.
She got up too early this morning. After eating a full meal, her brain was not supplied with enough blood. She felt sleepy and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice.
Finally, she really couldn't hold it any longer, and hearing the sounds of drinking and playing finger-guessing games next door, she guessed that Zhou Yubai wouldn't be back for a while.
She might as well just take a nap.
When Zhou Yubai returned to the room, he saw the little woman lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
His eyes softened unconsciously.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, his slender, bony fingers gently stroked the little woman's cheek.
The moment their skin touched, he felt his heart tremble.
The little girl's skin was still as smooth and tender as when she was a child, so smooth that he was a little worried that his rough skin covered with calluses would hurt her.
Shen Chu Ning's long eyelashes, which were as curled as butterfly wings, trembled slightly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man in a majestic green military uniform in the dim red candlelight.
Her mind was still a little confused for a moment, and she just stared blankly at the man with a stern expression.
After coming to her senses, she quickly realized what day it was.
He sat up hurriedly, and subconsciously supported himself and took several steps back, "Yu...Brother Yubai, you're back..."
Zhou Yubai looked at her flustered movements and frowned slightly.
She was frightened by him, was she afraid of him?
The moment this thought came to his mind, he immediately stood up and said in a voice that didn't tell whether he was happy or angry: "I'll go sleep next door, you have a good rest."
When he built this yard, although he didn't think about getting married, he did consider providing for his parents in their old age.
So we specially built a main room and two bedrooms.
Originally he wanted one room for himself and one room for his parents.
It is convenient for him now, otherwise he would have to sleep on the floor.
Shen Chu Ning didn't know why the man went to sleep next door as soon as she woke up.
Does Brother Yubai dislike her? Does he not want to marry her at all?
He married her only because he was a responsible man, because she broke into his room that day and...
So he has to be responsible for her.
As Shen Chu Ning thought about it, a wave of grievance surged in her heart, and her eyes unconsciously turned red, with two bags of tears in her eyes.
It was not until the door of the room was closed that she suddenly felt an infinite sadness in her heart. She could not help but hug her knees and cry.
After long-term training, Zhou Yubai's five senses are stronger than those of ordinary people, and the house is not very soundproof.
As soon as he closed the door, he heard the sobbing of a little woman coming from the room.
His brows were tightly knitted together.
