Jiang Tiecheng blushed, his ears burning like a teapot boiling water.
This girl admires him so much; her eyes sparkle when she looks at him.
Jiang Tiecheng had never encountered a pursuer who was so persistent in pursuing him in his entire life.
Such a sincere and innocent young girl—if I weren't Jiang Tiecheng, any other man with ulterior motives would have brought her misfortune upon her.
Chen Ruixue's family background dictates that others will inevitably have ulterior motives when interacting with her.
But this girl was completely unaware of this.
If this girl is allowed to run wild outside like this, she'll suffer a great loss sooner or later, just like that scheming He Junsheng by her side.
Jiang Tiecheng felt both warm and touched.
It must be admitted that his resistant heart seems to be gradually being soaked in lukewarm water, and has begun to lose its edges.
"My life has actually been quite ridiculous."
I have family, parents, brothers, and sisters, but I am all alone.
My mom just saw me as a tool to ease the burden on the family and take care of my younger siblings.
I am the eldest child in my family, so it is only natural that I should do everything for my father.
She took care of her younger siblings, raised them, and sent them to university.
But to them, I was just a good-for-nothing, cheap laborer.
"My mother said she wanted me to settle down and start a family, but she found me a woman who was pregnant with another man's child."
Actually, my whole life is quite ridiculous.
I don't deserve your wholehearted affection; you're still too young.
You don't know what true love in the world looks like.
You only met me, and you only went through life and death with me.
So you unilaterally assume I'm the man in your heart. Actually, I'm not.
I am cowardly, I am spineless, I even soften my heart towards everyone.
"I am not the hero in your heart."
You don't need to see me as so glorious and brilliant. I'm not tall or brave, and everything I do is just for my own purpose.
I'm not selflessly devoted, nor do I have such lofty sentiments.
"Chen Ruixue, go back. You and I are from two different worlds."
Your father, brothers, and other relatives have done their best to protect you. The world in your eyes has always been so beautiful and full of love.
But I am not; I am the gloom living in a dark swamp.
"We're really not a good match. I know you're a good girl, but I'm not!"
Go back, and don't come back again. Live your life well. Your brother is right.
We're not a good match.
Jiang Tiecheng responded to the girl seriously; he didn't want her to be like him, drawn to a flame like a moth.
After wasting most of my life, I finally realized that my efforts were not worthwhile.
It is precisely because I feel sorry for this little girl that I cannot let her end up like me.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue's eyes widened. Her already round eyes looked especially adorable at that moment.
"Brother Jiang, I didn't know your family was like this."
Brother Jiang, you deserve it.
Although we come from different families and live in different environments, we are both human beings and are equal in this world.
Don't portray yourself as so humble and despicable; you're not that kind of person.
The Brother Jiang I know has never been that kind of person. You may say harsh things, but you have a very soft heart.
You're kind to everyone. If you weren't kind to others, you wouldn't have had the courage to stand up and save so many people.
I like you simply because I like you; I don't want to burden you in any way.
You don't need to feel indebted to me.
It's okay if you don't like me. No one in this world stipulates that you have to reciprocate someone's feelings just because they like you.
Brother Jiang, I didn't understand before, but now I do.
Your hot-and-cold personality probably stems from a lack of security at home.
You don't need to care how I treat you, just be yourself.
I won't burden you in any way. If I didn't understand before, I do now.
You deserve my affection.
I still want to tell you, Jiang Tiecheng, I love you, and that won't change. Even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame, I will have no regrets.
Chen Ruixue's loud declaration revealed that this girl's personality was indeed cheerful, straightforward, and courageous.
Jiang Tiecheng gazed at the girl whose eyes were shining and whose whole body seemed to be bathed in holy light.
My heart softened involuntarily. What was I doing?
Will I ever meet another girl as wonderful as her?
His inferiority complex and anxiety stemmed from his experiences in his previous life.
But Chen Ruixue is different.
Chen Ruixue's beauty always attracts people, drawing them unconsciously closer to her.
Her brilliance, her passion, her fiery intensity could ignite everyone around her.
Jiang Tiecheng didn't know what to say; his heart was gradually melting.
"I……"
"Brother Jiang, don't say anything."
Just be yourself, and don't let others influence you.
"By the way, Brother Jiang, I'm hungry, I want to eat."
This girl is shamelessly acting cute.
She knew that Jiang Tiecheng didn't dislike her; rather, there was a thorn in Jiang Tiecheng's side.
Chen Ruixue was suddenly very happy. Since Jiang Tiecheng could not respond, she would walk towards him.
This was my own choice, and I have no regrets.
Jiang Tiecheng sighed, stood up helplessly, and said reproachfully,
"How old are you? After work, instead of going to the cafeteria to eat, you come here hungry."
"You don't know how terrible the food is in our textile factory canteen. Let me tell you, the food there is like pig slop, everything is just boiled in plain water."
"I'm already tired of this, Brother Jiang. I want to eat your cooking, otherwise I would be eagerly coming here."
Chen Ruixue stood at the kitchen doorway, leaning against the door frame and staring at Jiang Tiecheng, before turning on the honeycomb briquette stove to cook noodles for herself.
She skillfully poked a hole in the hot pot and heated some oil, then fried two eggs. The rich aroma made her sniff the air.
"It smells so good!"
Jiang Tiecheng rolled his eyes at her, then poured boiling water over the crispy fried eggs.
The broth immediately turned a thick, white color.
There was a lump of dough left over from lunch.
That's ready-made; just roll it into thin sheets and make it into pinched pieces.
After the noodles were cooked, I threw in some shredded cabbage. There wasn't any tomato sauce or anything like that, so I had to make do.
Finally, hot oil was sprayed over the chopped scallions and poured over the noodles.
A bowl of steaming hot fried egg and scallion noodles is all you need.
A large bowl of noodles was placed in front of the table, and Chen Ruixue immediately began to wolf it down, eating until she couldn't even lift her head.
"Brother Jiang, your noodles are so delicious! Don't underestimate these simple noodles, they're incredibly tasty."
Jiang Tiecheng reluctantly put a little vinegar on the shredded radish, then added a drop of sesame oil and placed it in front of her.
This girl was even happier.
"Brother Jiang, this tastes even better! It's so delicious!"
