Even though Shen Hongmei's eyes were shining brightly and she was staring intently at him, Gao Hongyuan's gaze did not linger on her for even a moment.
Ignoring Shen Hongmei, who wanted to greet him, he nodded to Xu Lu and said, "It's getting late. You should hurry back. The village is slaughtering a pig, so we should go back early to see if we can help."
He had been gone for so many days and really missed Gu Xinyi, so Gao Hongyuan naturally wouldn't waste his time on a woman he didn't even know.
As soon as Gao Hongyuan spoke, he nimbly leaped onto the bicycle, and Wang Zhi behind him quickly jumped onto the back seat as well.
After glancing at Gao Hongyuan as he walked away, Shen Hongmei's eyes were still bright. She let Xu Lu help her sit on the back seat first, and then watched Xu Lu ride his bicycle forward in a wobbly and unsteady manner.
She looked down on him even more; he clearly didn't ride a bike often, unlike the tall, handsome man from before.
Judging from his nimble movements, he's obviously a frequent cyclist. And that newly bought bicycle shows he comes from a well-off family, considering how difficult it is to get bicycle tickets these days.
Thinking of this, Shen Hongmei asked calmly, "Brother Xu, who were those two just now? I've never seen them before."
At this moment, Xu Lu's heart and eyes were filled with Shen Hongmei, so he answered all her questions without hesitation.
"Those are Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi, also educated youth in our compound. They went home to visit their families a while ago, and judging from their appearance, they should have just returned today."
"Hongmei, there's something I need to tell you, but please don't be angry. Although you're friends, you'd better be wary of Yang Wanqiu. I don't know what she was like back home, but her reputation hasn't been very good since she came to the countryside these past two years."
Shen Hongmei really wanted to say that her reputation back home wasn't very good either, but in order to maintain her superficial sisterly relationship with Yang Wanqiu, Shen Hongmei lowered her voice and said, "Brother Xu, please don't say that. Wanqiu is my friend."
Like Shuning, no matter how others see them, in my heart, they are all my best friends.
Shen Hongmei's words evoked another wave of emotion from Xu Lu, who was riding his bicycle. The girl he liked was just too kind.
It seems that if the two of them get married in the future, he'll have to take good care of them.
During the rest of the journey, the two, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, didn't exchange many words. It was also because the north wind started to pick up again. Fortunately, Shen Hongmei, who was sitting in the back seat, had Xu Lu in front to shield her from the wind.
But Xu Lu, who was riding his bike in front, really found it difficult to open his mouth.
